Oh, I love it, love it, love it! And I don't even like CSI. But this is just such an awesome fic!

oh primus.
this was fantastic!!
(I LOVE HORATIO !)
i loved optimus' Looming.
he would be such a good bad guy.
(shudder)
brilliant stuff!

I wanted to let you know that my two friends and I read this entire story out loud to eachother on the long car ride back from Botcon the annual Transformers convention this year. We loved every minute of it. Great story.

Thanks for adding to our awesome memories of an awesome trip.

This was so many kinds of awesome. I only wish we could have had a glimpse of the Decepticons' view of the whole affair.

Starscream: Well, that was an unusually fast and humiliating defeat. Is it me, or did the Autobots look strangely ** off when they showed up?

Megatron: (sulks silently)

Soundwave: Expressions, speech, postures: unusual. Jazz: peculiar comments. "I'll kill you for screwing it all up. I nearly had Prime. You all suck." Meaning: unclear.

This is my favorite fanfiction I've read yet. And I'm Horribly Picky. I find myself quoting my favorite lines (and there are many of them). I read this aloud to a friend of mine who is new to transformers, and because the characterizations are so realistic and the characters themselves written with what I can only describe as love, this TF-newbie friend of mine now loves them too.
I especially like the way you write Prime. It feels so familiar. This is the real Prime, not a fangirl's version of him. And I never cared much for Grimlock until I read this, but you've utterly sold me on him.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the work you put into writing this. It shows.

I'm mainly a con girl with a few Autobots I like (such as Puppybot - er, I mean Bluestreak - Ironhide, and Prime), but I really enjoyed reading this. You gave everyone depth and really made them come alive for me.

I know I've read and reviewed this story before...but I felt the need to review again, after having read it again for the first time in a while. I forgot just how epic this story is. Fortunately, it didn't take me long to remember ( but long enough to forget who the culprit was! It added to the fun!)

Wow. This story had me laughing my head off from start to end.
"Come along, dead body."
"I dropped a *T-Rex* on him!"
and...

“Can’t we do something?”
“Oh, sure -”
“To Blue?”
“No. Be good, you!”

XD Leave Blue alone, Sides. The poor guy's already had his spark and memory core blow to bits. What more do you want?

And Optimus. Optimus, Optimus, Optimus. He was FANTASTIC in this story. They all were, Grimlock, Swoop, and Ratchet shining in particular, but it was just so entertaining to see Optimus getting so into the game. And yeah, glad he's on the Autobots side! He's one scary mech. Ninja Prime. Yeesh.

Thank you for making me laugh. Again. This story is a gem.

I have to admit, when I first saw the summary for this story I was a bit unsure how interesting it would be. However, seeing that this was on a lot of people's favorites I decided to read it. I am very impressed by how you put enough detail in there to keep it from being corny, but made it funny enough to keep me laughing.

Thank you for putting actual effort into this and making a well rounded story.

Are you going to write a sequal? If so, I think it would be interesting to involve some of the humans, it would be great if Spike was the murderer. As a rule, I don't like the human centric stories (enough Mary Sue fics have made me ill), but I think it would be funny to have the story where instead of knowing who was the murderer and trying to prove it, you have the element of suprise.

I hope you continue writing wonderful stories,
Rachel Sattler

Loved this fic! :)

Wow. That was AWESOME! Funny, totally engaging, well-written, and interesting!
Way to win at the internet.

Transformers usually just isn't my cup of tea/energon/ but this story had me laughing out loud a couple of times. Great fun!

Outstanding! I read this all in one shot, while I was watching two CSI Miami repeats on TV. Just recently got interested in the CSI series, so I was intrigued to see this crossover. I never would have guessed Prime in the beginning, my money was on Sunny as the murderer. Your characters were very well done, and the entire story was very suspenseful. I liked how Prime made his own script, and I loved Grimlock. His comment, "This not COPS show, this CSI." had me rolling. He's not as dumb as some would think. Good job.

I think, what I like most about this story, is how into Optimus got. I really like how he had so much fun with it, and played the game his own way. It makes me really like him. :)

That's better than any cop / CSI show on tv i've ever seen... I would say Jazz won^^ Since he DID get Prime and evidence. I loved it and always will :P

This was just a great story. The characters were perfect and the unseen ending with the Cons... Nicely done.
