Gibbs slapped! That's awesome. Ha ha ha ha ha! Couldn't stop laughing.

Oh my god, after years of missing out on this, I finally reread this thrilling and alluring story and am now completely caught-up on where it leads. The intensity that encoats everything is well crafted and I can say without a doubt I'll be very excited for whenever the next installment may be.

Long waits or not, I still appreciate being able to read your chapters when they come out. You've got a /ton/ of things happening at once, so it makes sense that you would need to take time in order to get the next chapter written to your satisfaction.

I hope your creative process gets some juice to its systems soon!

Great chapter! Worth the wait!
I'm curious as to how the Archer knows all that he does.. and it's interesting how much power he seems to hold too..
What does Optimus mean by was it time I wonder..
Poor Ironhide.. and Arcee.. and Shadowstreaker..
Shepherd is not having a good day at all.

I’m fandom blind for Beast Wars but I really enjoyed this – the opening banter was top notch, especially the moment where Max realises he’s holding the apple from the section he’d already bitten into. Max had so many great lines in this opening, loved “Well, I didn’t say it was a good award”, “Twenty, if you count how small the town is!” and “And also freakishly large. Seriously, how did you get that tall?” The exchange about the banana boomerangs was also excellent – I mean seriously - “Just imagine it: assassins could buy the tools of their trade at any grocery store in the country, and get a great source of Potassium…” – absolute gold! This whole first scene was just one big banter session, the black ice and the “Breaking your dignity doesn’t count” line was just icing on the cake.

Really enjoyed the passage about End Street, gave such an interesting detail to the setting. Oh, wow. The build-up through this part of the chapter was very well done, the entertainment of that first scene and the details of the house, interest in the tech and the TV leading to that moment of that reveal – excellent job. Liked the simplicity of this line, but the way it stood alone gave it a hell of a lot of impact – “I knew no one who owned a black sedan”.

“How many times would I relive the moment…” – really liked this. I liked your portrayal of the initial shock and comprehension of death. The lead-in to the storm brewing was good, and then the mix of trying to move away and the thought process berating himself for not stepping around the broken plate.

Oh, I loved the moment he wakes back up. “What that thing was didn’t click into place until I saw my grey snowmobile in pieces right next to me” – I liked the subtly of this line, that you feel like you’ve missed a detail before you get to the next line. “That settled it; I was dead. These figures must be representations of death, coming to take me” – this was a great line.

Incredibly strong opening chapter – the humour, impact and then intrigue was all there.

Hey mate/miss, I’m not sure if you’re going through tough times or you’re just bored with this story but are you ever going to finish this? I’m just wondering and I bet a lot of people who used to read this story are wondering as well

If I'm being honest this whole own up for his actions thing for shadowstreak got me a little annoyed, first of all he wasn't in controll of the automated anti-ship cannon that shot the hammer and the personal on board are part of an organisation that was torturing him. If they were deceptions on board the autobots wouldn't have given a rats ass, and what was he supposed to do after he liberated the ship wait to be shot out of orbit completely? Wait to be recaptured and interrogated/tortured again. Even if he the member on deck after being shot didn't land on the flight controls therefore triggering the automated weapons platform to request authorisation codes that he didn't have and he'd freed all the decipticons and autobots on board if they'd even cooperate in the first place. Escaping the system would have probably ended with the same outcome with only maybe a few less prisoner casualties due to their possible positioning on the ship.

Man, I don't know what's happening but I'm spooked. Also, I'm convinced that Consiege is a genie.

I can easily say, I love Whole Shad', feels more complete :D

Loving the interaction between Shad' and Arcee, needed more of that but I can wait.

All in all. This chapter spooked the hell outta me and I'm almost afraid of earth and what's going to happen to humanity because if this plague turn them into 'husks'... Bye-bye Jack, Raf, and Miko.

p.s. What will this plague do to cybertronians and the like? Can't wait to see but only to decepticon lol

Where's mah boi Springer?

I did a double take when I saw there was an update. Good to see that you haven’t given up on this story. So the archer is a prince and the concierge is just as creepy as always. I think I’ve got him figured out. Hopefully we can get another update ASAP, take care

Actually burst into excited squealing when I saw this. NEW CHAPTER, NEW CHAPTER! *Wild fanboy cheering* :D

SMOKEY! MY CHILD!

I really like this. I REALLY LIKE/LOVE THIS STORY. I have a weakness for writers that just write as detailed as you do and the plot? SO MANY FECKING QUSTIONS. But one has to be patient and I will be patient looking REALLY forward to the next chapter.

Brilliant story. I devoured this story, and loved it, with the exception of Cold and the 'humans make cybonic plague transferable between humans and cybertronians' arcs. Perhaps I would have liked it more if it was one at a time, but it's OK, because you created an amazing saga. Please write more! I will drop whatever I'm doing and come back and read the next chapter! I can't remember what base the Autobots are at, but could it be destroyed and they use Fortress Maximus as a new base?

PRIMUS! This is too good to put into words! This is the longest story I’ve ever read on here and it’s fan-fragging-tastic! I hope to be able to read more soon. How did you even come up with the idea of the setting, plot, even the action?! I hope you continue this amazing work!

I have great news: you’ve broken your nine month gap with no updates! It’s been about 10 months since the last update. I sincerely hope you update this story soon.
