Author's note: This bunny bit me—HARD—while I was chatting with Crimsonseastorm while listening to the Edward Scissorhands score. Such a beautiful movie! *cries*
This fic is set in a very loose mashup of the G1 and DW universes. The introduction—as short as it is—is separated from the rest of the fic because it is quite stylistically different. It is written in a simple fashion, similar to the introduction in the Edward Scissorhands movie. The rest will be posted in three parts. Enjoy!
Thank you to Kittona for the beta (Intro. and Part I), and to Crimsonseastorm for moral support and for being my 'Jazz translator.' You guys are the greatest!
Incomplete: Introduction
A long time ago, Shockwave worked in a lab on Cybertron. He created many things for the Decepticon Empire. He also created a series of all-powerful Seekers, cloned from the Air Commander himself. He gave them internals—wiring, a processor, everything. Well, almost everything.
You see, Shockwave was not interested in creating average Seekers. In place of an energon pump, he fit his creations with solar-powered fusion reactors. Nearly all of his creations burnt out, their bodies unable to contain the nearly limitless energy, but one remained. He was special, his body carefully coated with electrum. His name was Sunstorm.
But there was a problem. Sunstorm was unable to shut off the harmful radiation that emanated from his frame. Dangerous to all he encountered, he was shunned by the other Decepticons, forced into stasis in his creator's lab.
Eventually, Shockwave succeeded in hacking Vector Sigma, but he was soon thwarted by Optimus Prime. Left with no time to examine the data, he sent it to a terminal in his lab, where Sunstorm lay in recharge. Overwhelmed by the surge of data, the poor Seeker descended into insanity. As all-knowing as Vector Sigma, the clone assumed he was an oracle of Primus, a living god. Following the will of Primus, he set off to the planet Earth in search of a mysterious seal, but his search came up fruitless.
Failed in his work as an oracle and despised by his comrades in arms, Sunstorm retreated to the arctic north of the alien planet. There he remained, in his icy sanctuary, incomplete and all alone.
