OHO NICE FIC! I must say I was kinda skeptic about reading this cause i don't really like OCs but I LOVED IT! Great job! God I laughed so hard at the GUH part! XD Ands till am! hahaha!

Aw I was so sad when Blue died!! EVIL! But oh well XD MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE!!

YAY!Sweet chapter! Very cute and suspenseful!

Poor Ironhide...so irked with young love.
Poor OP too...

Ah, this a cute fic. Can't wait to see what next.

You may claim that drama is more difficult for you to write than comedy, but I thought you should know that you write it just as well if not better. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's a way that you weave your words that I love. It's some little quirk of your writing that makes your style unique and entertaining and always begging me to come back for more. :-)

Very sweet. Good to see your back.

Welcome back! Looking forward to more chapters.

yays!

AND SO ARE YOU! HEY! HEY! HEY!

Hehe, can you tell I'm super excited about this update? I so am! It was light, funny and perfecto! Ah, I'm grinning so bad right now. And sitting at a REALLY odd angle because my kitten has taken up all the room on the sofa. Bless. ^.^ OMG! Whoo, round two of FRITZING in progress! That was so awesome! Super-awesome! :D I have so many favourite parts, I don't even know where to start. BUT am I glad to see an update from you! I love this story and I know it's coming to an end. But I'm going to cherish it for as long as possible till then. :)

Ahh, I need to kick-start this review! Oh! By the way, I do plan on popping back a chapter and re-doing my lousy review for that one. It deserved so much more than an insomniacs freaky make no sense words. :D Until then, I'm going to make this as fun as possible. ^.^

Okay, here goes. Did I tell you I love it? Have I mentioned that yet? No? Oh. Well...I LOVE IT! Oh I want to be around in that medbay or out in the halls waiting in this chapter. The beginning with Elita and Ratchet was cracking! I gotta admit, I had a stupid grin BEFORE I even started reading 'cos I was BUZZING from seeing an update and having my name up there in bold for all to see. You deserve all the reviews for such a great fic. And if they're what power to keep going, then I am FULL of reviews for you! :D

So where was I? Oh yeah, the Elita and Ratchet...and Ironhide moment.

Oh gawd! Iron-aft! I LOVE HIM! I REALLY DO! HE'S...HE'S...FUN! AND...FUN! Lmao!

Actually, I'll let you in on a little secret that's not so much of a secret then a FACT! I figure all you AWESOME writers in this TF fandom have your own fave mechs and that, right? Yours being Ultra Magnus. Well I found which one is mine! Take a guess who it is? Uh-huh, fly like a bird, sting like a BEE! Now he's my mech, no one can have him. Even Marin! Okay, maybe Marin can have him in this one 'cos it's UBER-CUTE and FUNNY so I don't mind so much. And Kacey's allowed him in 'My Beautiful Rising Star' but no one else! He's mine for the taking. :D

I just had to get that out of my system. I'm getting back to the proper review now, I swear. :)

Okay, I got a line to pass back to you already! Hehe - “For Cybertron’s sake, femme, HE WILL WORK!” Laugh.My.**.Off! Well she don't want no glitching Optimus does she? Haha, Primus I love that line. I can just see Ratch getting all frustrated and impatient with her. And Elita running all the scenarios of a broken Optimus in her CPU. She don't want him crashing during an inopportune moment does she! She's only thinking of her sanity. Hahaha. :D That's what I love about your stories. They're dripping with humour in every part! It's sugar to my over-active imagination! ^.^

ROFL! OMG! I love the description of Ironhide as - 'a black motionless lump'. Lmao! That's the perfect way of describing him. Especially with his attitude and everything. Aww, now I feel bad. *Sends some huggles and Mojo love for Ironhide*

I reckon he'd appreciate that. *Snort* *Evil cackle*

And he POUTED! Oh, **! He...Oh crap. Please excuse me for a few seconds while I go and laugh so hard it'll hurt.

...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

...

Okay, I think I'm good. I just had the PERFECT image in my mind of him doing that and just couldn't keep it in! I LOVE, ADORE, CHERISH, WORSHIP the big lump in this story! I can always guarantee he'll have me in stitches and I'm never disappointed! Ahh, I need some ice for my jaw. It's starting to ache from smiling too much. ^.^ And Rathet's obvious stress with him by the whole rolling of the shoulder-plates...TOO GOOD! Including this part that had me cackling with laughter again! - “The Prime does not fret.”

CURSE NOT HAVING ITALICS OR BOLD IN REVIEW BOXES! IT SUCKS!

But that line didn't! Imaging the distaste on his face as he says that...OMG! Too fragging funny! :D Oh **! And this! Can I borrow it! I have plenty of people I can say - 'snuff yourself' too! Okay, so the majority if not all of this review has basically been about Ironhide and his awesome character. And I will get to Opt and Lita when the time comes for it. But I love this part! - 'Ironhide tapped a thick finger on Optimus Prime’s chest armor, “No different from normal then, right Ratch?”' The cheeky fragger! I should clip him upside the head for that. But I won't this time. Mainly because I'm too busy giggling.

PLUS! Elita sure puts him in his place. Poor mis-understood mech. :P

Oh the part where Lita runs her optics over Optimus and thinks on how tall, big and strong he is when he's on-line and sharing her life with him was beautiful! A very good and very understandable part! When he's up he's up! And when he's down, he's knocked out! :D But seriously, it was a great piece to add in. It was light, but had an edge of a deeper emotion underscoring it too. MANY kudos for you at mixing the humour fantastically with the cute fluff and touching parts. :) *Hands over Magnus plushie* You deserve it! :D

*Gapes jaw-slacked before sense comes back*

Oh **! CRAP! NUTS! OH...BUGGER! Ironhide's comment about the leash and the rodent...OH **! IT WAS FUNNY AS **! I feel bad Lita kicked, shoved, slapped and punched him out of the medbay. But his line was pretty awesome and down funny! Him and Mogo; best kind of friendship in the whole wide world that one! Hahhaha. The way he stood there all confused and the like was so adorable! I'm pouting now for him. ^.^

BUT CHEERING FOR BEE! MY MECH! MY DUDE! MY ADORABLE, CUTE, AWESOME SCOUT! *Sigh* I loves him...LOTS! :D

Ratchet, er, lost something in Optimus chassis? He, uh, dropped something down there. *Tries DESPERATELY not to laugh* Oh, crap. *Fails terribly* THAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING! I don't know what had me laughing the hardest! The fact he was caught up to his ELBOW digging around for it like it's an everyday thing. Or the way Elita got him out of the way and simply said she lost things down there all the time! OH **! My imagination ran into over-drive with how that could have gone! "Lugnut stay still will you? I've dropped something down there again. **, I can't reach it. Tilt this way a bit, I think I can get...it...Frag! No, it's lost now."

LMAO! I'm not even going to go into a narrative of what Elita's innocent fondling around in there was doing to him. HAHAHAHA!

OPTIMUS' BACK! OPTIMUS' BACK! YAYAYAYAYA! HEY BIG GUY! We missed ya! But it's been a BLAST since he was knocked out! I'm NEVER going to forget Marin's moment with Ironhide, lmao! He's back, cute, funny and better than ever! It was brilliant you had her call him Orion. :D That is so rarely used in fics, it's great that you added it too. :) And AW! I am COOING at how sweet and perfect their lil one-on-one was! Even when she smacked him upside the head, because he was grinning stupidly even when she did that! *Melts* The peck on the nose plates and this - “Love...you.” Aw! *Cries HAPPY tears*

^.^ What can I say, I'm a romantic at heart. :)

*Squeals* I LOVED THE BEE AND OPTIMUS MOMENT! IT WAS SO PERFECT AND I AM GRINNING ALL A OVER AGAIN! Bee's pride at being acknowledged for what he did and Marin too. I'm telling ya, I was WHOOPING with joy when I read that! Heck, I still am! She's been offered a few new jobs in the Autobot cause now ain't she? She is doing GREAT! Good on ya, Marin! She has passed my test of suitability for Bee in this fic. :D - 'Every solider – female or male – was precious to him.' Aww, does that include me too?! 'Cos I'm a temporary Autobot soldier! I am, honest! ^.^

- "I am told...my speech will...improve...or Ratchet has...crossed a wrong...wire somewhere." BOOYAH! AND HE COMES BACK SWINGING! LOVE YA, OPTIMUS! YOU'RE A HARDCORE DUDE THAT TAKES A HIT AND KEEPS ON GOING! *Fangirl squeal* ROCK ON! \M/

Oh and that last line...I gotta say this, it very nearly brought tears to my eyes! It was a really touching line. Like you could feel the relief in waves. Pit, I'm relieved he's back on his feet after such a wickedly suspenseful trip up to it. And you pulled this one off with STYLE, Phoenix! You know I loves this fic. I've said it in nearly every other word, lol. But I haven't said a HUGE thank you for updating it! It's CLASS! And I will do that review for the previous chapter, I promise. And it'll be with you soon.

THANKS FOR MAKING ME LAUGH SO MUCH! *Hugs* :)

Woo updated finally! THANK YOU!

Good to see Optimus has more control over himself than Ratchet gives him credit for. Aw Elita is so sweet around her mech and not afraid to put on up on mechs twice her size. Go ELITA!

wicked.

That was adorable and touching. I loved the banter between Elita and Ratchet in the beginning and how she kicked Iron-aft out! Priceless. But the best moment was when Optimus didn't move and Elita called him Orion. Nice job! Well worth the wait. And one more thing...woohoo! Optimus is BACK!!
