Trying to remember a Mecha Pilot Jazz AU fic I have read. Mostly follows TexAid and the Shockwave simulation trap. The ending is with all of the different groups converging. Like First Aid, Ambulon, and Blast Off escaping but meeting Ratchet and Deadlock going to the base. Then they all go there where they meet up with JazzProwl, SwerveBlurr, and somehow Hot Rod makes a big entrance during an invasion with the sentient Lost Light
Gosh, it was a fun series of oneshots that converged together to the super ending but I don’t remember where I read it. Can someone please help me out?
EDTI: I FOUND THE FIC! I put it in my reblog. Also thank you @artdagz for sharing the fic as well
I've had this circling in my head for a while since watching the Uma Musume music video for 'Uma in America'. The full version with four different groups singing the song. Then I remembered that Keferon's Mecha Pilot Jazz AU has a PR stunt with Blurr to get more people to sign up and more sponsors.
A thought occurred to me.
"What if 'Uma in America' but with the Mecha Pilots and certain Cybertronians in the background dancing?"
Here is what my mind came up with using @keferon and @typewritingyip Mecha Pilots in an Uma Musume/Idol situation for a PR stunt.
Just don't ask how certain people would be convinced to do this
This might haunt me in the future out of embarrassment
Groups, which are just what they are called in Transformers canon or in the Mecha AU more or less with a bit of an explanation for the group. Also influenced by the song's lyrics' lines "Stay by my side" and "Show me the goal"
Arcturus One
Hound
Breakdown
Sunstreaker
Sideswipe
Cybertronian in the Background: Mirage
The main four that are followed throughout the Arcturus One series by Typewriteryip. Sticking them together with Mirage because he goes through so much emotional stuff from where I left off in part 2. Knockout is the backup if he isn't busy with work.
Arcturus Three
Arcee
Perceptor
Hot Rod
Ultra Magnus (maybe switch? Could be Shockwave?)
Cybertronian in the Background: Deadlock
Most of Arcturus Three's group with Ultra Magus with them since I think he is a Mecha Pilot in the Arcturus Mission series. I'm ignoring it if he is dead in this AU and instead making him retired just for this wacky song. Ratchet is part of another group because of reasons explained later. Deadlock is with this group because he knows most of them and Ratchet asked him.
Combaticons
Onslaught
Blast Off
Brawl
Swindle
Mecha in the background: Vortex
One of Keferon's Mecha pilot groups. Didn't feel right to separate them, but felt right to have them in here for humor. Other reason could be that Swindle forced them for a PR stunt and convinced Onslaught to do this somehow. Vortex managed to get the spot by hacking. First Aid is 'piloting' inside...maybe inside of Vortex.
Mecha Stars
Jazz
First Aid
Blurr
Ratchet
Cybertronian in the background: Prowl & Swerve
The main four story lines of Keferon's Mecha Pilot AU besides the ShockOp and LostRod. Got to put them in a group. For in universe explanation, Blurr needs someone to monitor him on stage because of his injuries. First Aid is capable but needs help because he can't keep up with Blurr's movements during the choreography. In comes Ratchet who deals with Mecha Pilots and a Cybertronian who is actually a grumpy cat. He is able to keep up with Blurr better and has medical background to monitor Blurr's constitution. Jazz volunteered to be in a group with Blurr and got accepted. Prowl somehow got roped into dancing in the background but is too stiff, so Swerve joins him out of second hand embarrassment. Mostly. Swerve just wants to jam
Bonus:
Reverse Mecha
Prowl
Deadlock
Swerve
Tarantulas
Cybertronian in the Background: Jazz
Got to include the Reverse Mecha Group with Tarantulas since I actually don't know who else could be the fourth and works with the Mecha Pilots in the reverse AU. Optimus is not in this at all besides seeing how to make this as training that can be used to battle Quintessons. Tarantulas is being blocked from Prowl at every point in the performance.

Well, this is it. I hope someone enjoys the chaos of this.
With Project Hail Mary running in my mind. I lowkey want a Project Hail Mary x Voyager
Not just the spaceship, but different game iterations of Voyager. I only know two different game iterations of Voyager, but that is more for that Pale Blue Dot than expected.

FGO Voyager
Ryland will freak out seeing a child floating in space. A glowing floating child, but a child none the less.
What do you mean this child is Voyager?!
He can use cartoon shape stars for battle?
Rocky is freaking out about him. He is squishy but also has a buzz (Circuits)?
Did he change into a NASA astronaut with a rover and a spaceship?
Oh, he is a cute kid. Innocent and well behaved. Ryland needs to get the crayons and paper for this child if it’s in Hail Mary.

Reverse 1999 Voyager
Ryland will freak out about her as well. Be come fascinated if this is Voyager’s space silhouette form.
Is that a lady with a violin in space?
Is she made of stardust? No, wait. Did she just turn into a human?
Oh, she is inside of the Hail Mary now?
She is humming and communicating with Rocky somehow with her violin.
Wait, is that a song from the Golden Record? …You are Voyager?!
A polite young lady who is most likely mute or selectively mute. Ryland takes it with stride and makes another program to translate Voyager’s violin playing into words.
Have people been talking about the sleeping bags that the Saja Boys use for the signing event look to be like the ones Mira wore for the MetGala in Kpop Demon Hunters?
Or have I just been missing people pointing that out?
Me: I’ve had this game since a few months after launch and it is only now that I have unlocked ‘Reveries in the Rain’
Other: What have you been doing in the time in between then and now that prevented you?
Me: other games (FGO & TWST)

I am sorry R1999 fans. I enjoy the game, but there is so much psychological horror I can take. Also so much tragic yuri that I don’t want back to back emotional damage
