the maximals go back to cybertron

Nice story! I'm going to read the earlier ones now.

Shame this fiction hasn't recieved more reviews. I guess everyone in the Transformers section only like to read about G1 and Movieverse, eh? Which stinks, becuase Beast Wars/Machines was just as good and needs more love.

Good spelling and grammar for the most part, I detected very few typos, except for one thing: they're called Predacons, not Predicons.

You've developed the OCs quite nicely, they're not too perfect, and they don't take up all of the screentime which I've found is really the main downfall to many OCs. Good job.

*Glances at reviewer below* Aw, I liked Beast Machines! Granted, it was the first Transformers show I ever saw, but I liked what I saw.

Well, I'll be. By using a single, semi-slight 'what if?' concept, you managed to slowly but surely alter the course of the Beast Wars from their original path - not completely, still focusing on the Transmetal II's and Nemesis, but nonetheless different. You answered the question of the stasis pods which weren't opened in the show. You created a whole new list of characters. You fleshed out several characters better, and restored others who had been somewhat pointlessly removed (Scorpinok, Terrasaur, Airazor and Tigatron). You gave the Vok a greater and more important role, which was unjustly denied them by the shows creators. You turned the Beast Wars into a proper 'war'. You created more romances. And above all, you have satisfied many things which, I am sure, fans of the show were disappointed with additionally.

There are several complaints I have. One is your abundance of spelling errors - you should get a beta to check this work, since you have misspelt some words and forgotten to include others occasionally. Another is the lack of casualties on the Maximal side after the battle with the Vok acolytes - in a true war, they wouldn't all be this lucky, and I imagined at least a few casualties along the way; still, I'm glad you're not mindlessly massacring the Predacons from here-on-out. Also, some bots seem to have particular forms simply for romantic purposes (ie: Rapther and Squeak). Otherwise, you've created a fine series of stories to cover the rest of the Beast Wars, in a way that many of us would have wanted them to turn out.

I bid you good luck on the conclusion of this story (and only pray that you do not include the horrible, vile 'Beast Machines' series in the equation!)

gODSPEED!
