I'm enjoying this so far - very dark, very mysterious.
The only thing I wanted to point out is it seems there may be a chunk or text missing - in the "Planet-wide broadcast" section ("the recent deaths, the ed at his old comrade,")
I know it's an old story, but I hope you have that piece somewhere! :)
Interesting story, if a tad dark and cynical. But then, I only know G1 Transformers from the cartoon, not the comics, and I understand storylines and characterization were a bit divergent.
Is it just me, or is Liege Centurio Star Sabre channelling Havelock Veternari? He certainly seems to be talking & plotting like my favorite despot. Grimlock just doesn't fit the bill as Carrot, though. Vimes, perhaps. ;-)

I've read both of you fics (this one and the Rampage one right below it) and they both ended up making me go. O.o Which is a good thing. ;) They're a bit darker than I like, but otherwise very good. :)
This story is great, I'm not to knowledged in G1, and really lost in the comic world, but you gave the characters so much life that I couldn't stop reading, and the fights with the off-road patrol were breath taking, I was on the edge of my seat, and for four Micromasters, who woulda guessed the buggers were so terrifying. Love it.
WOW! This was great! One of the best fics i've read in a long time!
Really happy to see more and more people using Marvel UK storylines in writing their fics, its something I applaud!
The Wreckers, mention of the Mayhems and inclusion of Micromasters, WooHoo! All we need now is Death's Head and this fic would have had everything! (not that it didn't have enough!)
I hope you continue to write fics of this high quality as your writing style and character interpretation (probably spelt wrong?) is superb!
Please write more about the Wreckers and Mayhems especially (the early ones were better though, e.g. Impactor et al for the Wreckers and Dirge, Ramjet et al for the 'cons) your style of writing, i feel, would do them justice!
I look forward to your future works with unabated enthusiasm!
