When Thundertron and his Star Seekers converge with deadly force upon a battle between Autobots and Decepticons, Megatron and Optimus find themselves shipwrecked and separated on a far-flung and desolate planet. Half-dead and cut off from their respective forces, subject to the elements and wildlife of this strange and watery world, the only way to survive may be to don the alien shapes of its denizens.
Reshaped and reborn in strange hybrids of metal and organic flesh, Megatron and Optimus strive to rejoin the battle, and take revenge on Thundertron. But their new forms present new challenges, isolation brings with it unwelcome memories, and as the days stretch on with no sign of rescue, meaning begins to slip away, and strange longing to take its place...

On Necroworld, the stage is set, the players are in position...but a fledgling relationship between Deathsaurus and Tarn spurs Deathsaurus to follow Tarn to his meeting with Megatron. With their bridges burning under them, Tarn and Deathsaurus have no choice but to make the impossible decisions set before them. Alternate universe - canon divergence for "The Dying of the Light."

Life is a series of chances and choices. And sometimes the choices aren't made by the ones most affected by them. So when a semi-sentient hunk of metal decides it wants something, everyone around it is taken along for the ride. Follow a trail of choices and the chance occurrences that take Challenger of Ways from where it is now hopefully to where it wants to be.

Responding to an unusual distress signal, a team of Lost Lighters set out to investigate an abandoned Decepticon base and get locked in with a forgotten weapon from a long since ended war. When their plan to deactivate the weapon goes awry it leaves Rewind temporarily without his memories, and now he has to race to remember who he is and how to shut this weapon down before they all fall victim to a fate worse than death.
