[Transformers Prime] Life in Glass Houses

[ladymoondancer]

I don't know if you're familiar with the Shattered Glass universe, but it's a dimension where the noble Decepticons battle against the evil Autobots. Your standard "opposite world".

I noticed there was a severe lack of stories where regular-world Bumblebee and Knock Out are accidentally stuck in the Shattered Glass universe! So I wrote one.

Same story on both sites, but you may prefer the formatting on one or the other.

Nice work! You have each character down perfectly! Female Starscream rocks! The first Starscream I knew was female. There will be a gold colored Megatron in the TF Prime Movie, possessed by Unicron.

I have two TF Prime stories of my own you can check out. Nemesis details Optimus's struggle against Nemesis, his dark side which is an Energy Vampire. It is a dark piece. Sick details how Optimus cared for his team when they came down with Cyberflu while making sure the kids get to school on time and picked up on time, and dealing with a situation on Griffon Rock, where his daughter, Altima, is staying with the rescue bots. the second half deals with the team taking care of Optimus after he too comes down with Cyberflu.

Finally read up to what you've posted.

I agree with sunstar. Very good work. I particularly like your "Good" Megatron. Although still a gladiator, his attitude towards violence and "might makes right" were replaced with the belief it's the responsibility of the strong to protect the weak.

I had a hard time nailing down a voice for female Starscream. I ended up using Arcee's for my mental image.

Updates! Just posted Chapter 19. More trouble on the Heretic for our heroes. (Links in the first post will take you to the fic.)

Thank you both very much for your reviews! ;D Knock Out is my favorite Decepticon and Bumblebee . . . well, to be honest I just felt really bad for Bumblebee, not being able to speak for most of the series. (Glad he got his voice back in the finale.) So this was a way I could let him talk about himself instead of just beep-booping all the time.

Personally I think of the great British actresses when it comes to SG Starscream, particularly Maggie Smith. (She played Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter movies.) Like Megatron, she's been around the block and knows what's what.

Megatron, like you said, is all gladiator--for GOOOOD! His troops worry about him. This amuses him.

Sunstar, I read one of your TFP stories and am going to read the other when I get more time!

Finally finished the new chapters. Soundwave is a beast.

My Dynamic Meteorology professor hated Sudoku. He thought it was the dumbest time waster ever created.

Now with fanart, courtesy of Laserbot!



Also, here is the next chapter:

Chapter 20: Over (and Under) Troubled Water

I think you will like the end of it.

Finally got caught up. Even humans "scavenge" our dead (granted with prior consent.) I can imagine not wanting to touch the head or interior torso, but the limbs and other interchangeable components should be considered salvageable. I bet the citizens would like to know if they die, they could help one of their fellows live.

Knock Out was sooo indignant. ALL HIS HARD WORK.

BTW, Grey Liliy made me fanart of him asleep! (The white door is the temporary replacement one that he was grousing about in the previous chapter.)



How cute is that? How disturbingly cute?

I'm hoping to have the next chapter up by tomorrow.

Aw...He looks so natural.
