TRANSFORMERS: SARKAEAN ALLIANCE BOOK I: Dreams by WithoutANameStudios

You may have heard the story of Cybertron, about the Great War between Autobots and Decepticons. But what would happen... if the war was over before it had even begun? New allies. New enemies. A world you think you know-- a story you've never seen before. #tfsaOFFICIAL #tillallareoneTFSA ----------------------------------------------- A Decepticon utopia is a dangerous place to have a dream, but Chiasma is determined to be a hero, no matter the cost. Unfortunately, being a hero is harder than it looks when anyone could be an enemy. Will Chiasma be able to serve and protect the people of Cybercity, or will the eyes watching from the shadows prove to be more than just paranoia? -- Riptide, aka "The Shadow," is the most feared assassin in the Wrecker rebellion. A dark bot with a mysterious past, he is supposed to be taking out the enemy, heading up secret intelligence operations, or better yet, preparing for their big demonstration- not being Razorblade's go-to babysitter. Blade still won't spill the truth behind Riptide's new mission. What the Shadow cannot understand is... why is his new mission, of all things, the key to their revolution? -- Being the most popular teen on Cybertron is stressful enough, but being the son of the High Chancellor, and Lord Heir of an entire planet, is even worse. All Raiden wants to do is be the person everyone's expecting him to be. Thankfully, his friends have his back, and they remind him that being a normal teenager-- that being himself-- is exactly who his mom would have wanted him to be. But how much longer can he pretend to be "normal" before disaster strikes?

Echos of Steel by Tempest68

In a world where Quirks reign supreme, heroes are worshiped like gods, and the powerless are left behind, Aiden Wolfe stands apart. Born Quirkless and disregarded by society, Aiden has no interest in the hero system or its false promises of salvation. Instead of turning to Quirks, Aiden turns to technology. Armed with a mind that rivals the greatest intellects, he dives into the world of cyberware, developing innovations that can push humanity forward-without the need for Quirks. But Aiden's independent mindset puts him at odds with the Hero Public Safety Commission and UA, who see his advancements as a threat to their carefully constructed system. Despite attempts to force him into compliance, Aiden refuses to be controlled. He's not interested in being a hero or following the rules of a society that discarded him. Every step of the way, he faces heroes who misunderstand his motives, a government that seeks to control him, and a system designed to suppress anyone who dares to challenge the status quo. But Aiden won't back down. With his cybernetic creations, sharp wit, and determination, he's ready to show the world that there's another path forward-a path where Quirks aren't the only way to make a difference. In a world obsessed with power, Aiden is prepared to stand alone and prove that true strength comes from those who refuse to be controlled. "Let the heroes have their Quirks," he says. "I'll build something better."

All is provided, yet everything is lacking. The Metro is the plenum, a future-city of color and exuberance, but its citizens are full of violence and greed. If there is any hope for peace it lies with the Iris, a machine that can link the minds of every human-being to create a single mind, a single energy. Someone just has to push the button. Sean, born into this world of hate, sets out to do the impossible: to take the data he has stolen off the internet and turn on the Iris. His journey will set off one of the greatest rat-chases the Metro has ever seen. All the big players are in on it, to stop or help Sean's mad rush to the Iris. There's Casey with her army of gangsters, who wants nothing else but to make sure the Metro stays a jungle. There's Randal the mutant, a creature of nightmare surrounded by other misbegotten souls, cursed with an inexplicable fate. And then there's Tommy the Bouncer, Tommy the Butcher, Tommy the Terrible, who just wants to beat everything to a bloody pulp. These players and more all have their eyes on the prize: the Black Tape, the switch that if flicked may set off an age of no-death. Maybe. In the end, Sean will discover that the Metro might be too far gone. Hope's slim, but it's there. He just has to try. Easier said than done.
