11* Recommended by: Troper Name
12* ''Synopsis:'' What's the story about? Give here a brief summary of the plot. It would be also useful to point out in what moment of the series the story takes place. If it's a Gen Fic but it has some romantic elements, note here the characters involved too.
13* ''Pairing(s):'' If it's a Shipping Fic, list here the pairings that feature in the fic (warn here if it's het, male slash or female slash). If it's a Gen Fic, remove this line. To tell the difference between the two, notice if the focus of the fic is on a romantic relationship or if it focuses on the other aspects of the story. In case of doubt, classify the story according to the genres it's been tagged: the Romance tag for Shipping, absence of that tag for Gen Fic.
14* ''Tags:'' If any are known. This would be things like SugarWiki/{{WAFF}}, {{Lemon}}, DarkFic, any known {{Crossover}}s etc.

35* Recommended by @/{{Cedarleaf}}
36* Another very character driven writer, Aspirare is one of those true gems of an author who's just a pleasure to read. While she tends to write for Sam/Bumblebee and Ironhide/Ratchet, many of her fics have few or no pairings at all. Her writing is just wonderful and ''smart'', and her later fics especially have this beautiful, dark eeriness to them, she can play you, and your heartstrings, like a virtuoso, and leaves you as enchanted as you are disturbed. Specific fic recommendations include ''[[http://community.livejournal.com/tf2007fun/967524.html That Still Small Voice]]'', ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5136761/1/Nemesis_Theory Nemesis Theory]]'', ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4292787/1/Birds_Through_a_Window Birds Through a Window]]'' (no pairings), ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4470438/1/Heavens_Shore Heaven's Shore]]'' (Ratchet/Ironhide), ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4049691/1/Another_Gate Another Gate]]'' and ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3916465/1/Beautiful_Day Beautiful Day]]'' (Bumblebee/Sam if you want them to be).

40* Originally, I was going to recommend one of their fanfic, but I had so much trouble choosing which one that I decided to recommend them all. Seriously, read their stories for yourself, and you'll see what I mean - they're all ''so good'' that it's nearly impossible to pick a favourite!

48* A blog run by the Autobots as they attempt to fit into this strange new world they're on. Limited action, but long on {{character development}}.
49** Updating regularly again after a three-year hiatus. Still delivers an excellent balance of plot, character development, and humor.

51''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/287003/CasusFere CasusFere]]''
52* Recommended by Error404_File_Not_Found
53* A brilliant author, who tends to focus on the less prominent characters of Bayverse and G1. CasusFere's Vortex fics, particularly [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6415766/1/Under-Scrutiny "Under Scrutiny"]], [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6534734/1/The-ExProblem "The ExProblem"]], and [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4742365/1/A-Rock-and-a-Hard-Place "A Rock and a Hard Place"]], are definitely the best BlackComedy this troper ever had the fortune to see. Besides Vortex and the Combaticons, (s)he also writes for many other characters such as Smokescreen, Red Alert and Inferno, the Wreckers, Blackout, and more.

60* Recommended by Alyssa Macki
61* A great author with one series that created three pairings for TFP, June Darby/Megatron, Miko/Bumblebee and Arcee/Shockwave. Mixes Prime canon with some of the comics and G1, and really fleshes out the characters. Her current story, [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10657923/1/Blast-from-the-Past Blast from the Past]] focuses on the characters' histories and gives great depth to them. Some grammar mistakes due to english not being her first language, but she is great.

63''[[http://envyskort.deviantart.com/ EnvySkort]]''
64* Recommended by rrcandthemuse
65* EnvySkort is an writer/artist who has compiled an exceedingly entertaining and rather insightful collection of transformer comics comprised of both G1 and Transfomer Prime continuities. Some are one shots and short two-parters, while others, such as [[http://envyskort.deviantart.com/gallery/27859953?offset=168 A Very Decepticon Christmas]], span over one hundred pages. She also seems to have a soft spot for minions and the less utilized characters, such as Cosmos. Also, her SmugScream. ''[[http://envyskort.deviantart.com/gallery/27859953?offset=0#/d3htd6y Primus, her SmugScream...]]''
66** Seconded wholeheartedly. The range of facial expressions is amazing to see, especially the contrast between Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp. Everyone is surprisingly identifiable and in-character, but are just put in the most ridiculous situations, leading to such phenomenons such as Depressed!Hook, BigDamnHero!Cosmos, Fanboy!Blitzwing, etc. The dialogue is excellent, and the artist's notes are hilarious sort-of Non Sequiturs. Tons of SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments buried in each comic, as well as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} almost every page. Go read.

69* Recommended by Sayacha
70* Easily has some of the best stories this troper has read, ever, her ''War Eternal'' series in particular. Her fics mostly focus on the relationships between all the bots, but she also writes wonderful fight scenes, and her sense of humor is in no way lacking either. Some parts can get a little cheesy at times, but overall, this is one author you don't want to miss out on. Not to mention, her OCs (most notably Chase Banes and Virus/Moonfly) are absolutely wonderful and very well fleshed out. Definitely worth browsing her stuff.

74* Okay; I know I've recommended 2 of this person's fics. But they're a good writer and they handle their topics well...even if they seem to like torturing Jack a bit much. While not exceptional, if you have some time to kill, Inkcrafter is worth your time.

81* Recommended by Zephyr77
82* Just everything by her is just amazing. She wrote an amazing series focusing on a young Bumblebee (ages could range from toddler to child to teenager-ish) and his interactions with others, particularly with Optimus and Ironhide (and even Megatron). She does a great job on characterizations, adding humor, fluff and angst in a perfect balance. Some of her stories include ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3706989/1/Nightmare Nightmare]]'', ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3655596/1/Little_Brother Little Brother]]'' and ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3694179/1/Youngling Youngling]]''.

85* Recommended by @/{{Tick}}, seconded by @/{{Flyairth}}
86* Why did I choose a fanfiction writer instead of a website? Simple: she's the whole reason I became a Transformers fan! Seriously, read her stories - they are fantastic with a capital F. Admittedly, her grammer isn't very good (she's French), but that doesn't detract from the awesomeness of her stories. Oh, a quick warning to you slash haters: she's a huge slash fan, especially where Megatron and Starscream are involved. Seriously, nearly every story she has written features these two as lovers. And she portrays it in a 'realistic' way, i.e. the way it would have happened in canon: the relationship isn't sugary-sweet, but it isn't violent and abusive either (well, except when the two 'Cons have a really bad falling out). Her stories also contains a LOT of smut. So if you're anti-slash/anti-smut, steer clear. Otherwise, enjoy.

90* Her fics, though incomplete and likely abandoned, are fantastic works featuring Prowl, Bluestreak, Elita-1, and G1 humans as prominent characters (to name a few) and would be especially enjoyable to fans of these characters. However, all of it is brilliant.

One, several series of utterly hilarious photocomics that skewer, satirize, and AffectionateParody various aspects of the Transformers characters and series, as well as often also comic books in general. Two, a number of brilliant fanfics which often expand upon the existing comic and cartoon plots to give them interesting new twists, fill in missing scenes, or smooth over plot holes.

116* An excellent author with some very intriguing ideas and a quirky sense of humor. Also very versatile, writing for both G1 and the movie'verse. She's very character-centric, focusing a lot on character relations and their reactions to all the weird stuff around them that makes this series so much fun, but also still down to earth at the same time. Features Sam a lot, and has a few Prowl/Jazz fics. One of the staples of this troper's Transformers fanfic collection.

176* ''Status'': Dormant
177* ''Continuity'': ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars''
178* ''Synopsis'': Exceedingly difficult to put into words. A highly ''highly'' absurdist take on Beast Wars. It's straight humor and difficult to imagine it wasn't written on acid. Much of the humor comes from the continual upping the ante of increasingly bizarre plot twists.
179** It's a CrackFic, but they have ''some'' measure of plot. The first one revolves around winning the personified love of the forests, and is resolved via a race between Megatron and Optimus, who has evolved into [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Rapidash]]. The second deals with a zombie outbreak (seeming to very vaguely parody ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead'' in one instance) and a strain of cancer that effects all characters not present in the pilot episode of the series.
180* ''Comments'': Absolutely pure comedy, you'll likely either find it complete unreadable gibberish or the funniest thing you've ever seen.

Mostly about Annabelle and Ironhide, sometimes the other Autobots and human characters show up, and Annabelle's antics drive everyone a little nuts. They are very good stories!

288* ''Pairing'': Starscream/Optimus Prime. ''Waaay'' better than it sounds. There is a background mention of Prowl/Jazz, but the fic doesn't explore it much.
289* ''Synopsis'': The War for Cybertron is over, Optimus Prime is retired, Megatron has long since been executed, and the Decepticons are prisoners serving sentences for war crimes. The world of Cybertron is at peace, but trouble still manages to spring up in the form of contaminated energon and a rapidly spreading sickness. When Optimus Prime travels to the mines to investigate the epidemic, he discovers some ugly truths about the hard-won "peace" of his world and soon realizes that a Decepticon's aid may hold the key to unlocking the disturbing mystery before him.
290* ''Comments'': I hesitated to recommend this fic because 1) I ''really'' don't read slash fiction 2) particularly ones with a detailed sex scene in them. I realized, however, that to snub it for those reasons would be unfair because this fic is ''excellent''. It's beautifully descriptive and introduces some fascinating ideas. The slash fiction part is actually more of a component rather than the sole focus of the story, and the reader can pretty much take it or leave it depending on taste. As a slash fiction, [[ItMakesSenseInContext the progression of the relationship is handled well, all those involved remain completely in character, and the explanation of the pairing, however bizarre, is reasonable.]] Even the afore mentioned scene was well written. My reasons for my (repeated) reading of this fan fiction, however, are primarily: 1) it introduces some interesting musings on the characterization of Starscream. I haven't added all of them to my [[{{Fanon}} personal canon]], but the insight is well done and appreciated. 2) It explores a post-war Cybertron with the Autobots on the winning side, but the depiction is far from a Utopia. It dares to question how the Autobots, after millions of years of tragedy, loss, and warfare, would treat their enemies after conquering them... Overall, I recommend this fic for its gusty take on the Transformers universe and it's populace, it's well-written characterization and descriptions, and it's ability to inspiring musing and feeling in its readers.

This time, the curse is louder. Acid Storm’s voice comes muffled through the door. “I’m putting my face on!” “Frag it, not again!”

420* ''Status'': Dormant
421* ''Continuity'': Film/TransformersFilmSeries
422* ''Synopsis'': Follows ''Revenge of the Fallen'', but goes in drastically different directions. A very long and as yet incomplete fic, with a very large ensemble cast bringing in more characters from G1. To quote the summary: After Egypt, the Autobots cannot remain a secret. They are Earth's first contact. In some ways they are truly alien, in others, they are much like us.
423* ''Comments'': It's surprisingly hard to provide a synopsis of this fantastic fic, since it's more of a serial than anything else - new characters and plots appear and develop, and things just keep moving forward. The first element is Wheelie struggling to become an Autobot in the face of justified suspicion and paranoia, but it's a lot more than that. A brief warning, however - some of these developments include unconventional relationships, including slash amongst others, that some tropers may wish to avoid. It also has politics, drama, action and humour and many characters, and this troper - who usually avoids slash entirely - can't but recommend it in the strongest possible terms.
424* It manages to weave a lot of the incoherent plot points of [=ROTF=] into a logical whole.

486* ''Summary'': A woman named Tessa (not to be confused with the one from TF: Age of Extinction) gets a job as a mechanic at NEST and intends to teach what she knows about machines to those who work there but after actually meeting the Autobots, finds that the "machines" have a lot to teach her as well. Starts sometime before the events of Revenge of the Fallen and goes through the movie timeline from there.
487* ''Pairings'': some Optimus Prime/OC but the story focuses on the main OC's relationships with the other Autobots and fellow humans in addition to the romance.
488* ''Comments'': there is some Artistic License regarding Diego Garcia's location as the author did not know it was an island when she first started writing the story but it doesn't detract too much from how well written it is otherwise. For those who want to read a story where the OC/Canon romance is slowly built up to, this is one of the few in the Transformers section of fanfiction.net that has that and the author does a good job with it. It is 118 chapters so far (and on the events of Dark of the Moon, timeline wise) so be prepared to spend a lot of time reading it.

This is set in the real world and centers around a fan, and isn't some lame self-insert story. If you're part of the newer generation of Transformers fans, like this troper was, and never understand why Optimus mother-friggin' Prime was so important to the Geewuners, this story explains it, and may have you believing. Very melodramatic, but still truthful and touching in its approach. If you are a Geewuner, prepare to weep.

Not only does it remain faithful to the original classic that was Generation One that old and new fans will like, but even the characters are fresh but still have that sense of familiarity. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves something fresh but still love the old G1.

Evy may be the OC-centric puny Earthling, but damn if she isn't one of the best, well-written characters I've ever seen. The story's original (dude, there's the consciousness of Sideswipe ''stuck inside her body'') and the interactions between her and the Autobots who inadvertently kidnapped her are amazing. There are several other spin-offs in her profile.

Sadly no VillainTeamUp here. (Terrorsaur and ''Waspinator'' can beat the controllers.)

885* ''Synopsis:'' ''Drift Compatible'' is a {{Crossover}} fic between WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime and Film/PacificRim, where all the mecha are miniature transforming Jaegers that require a human pilot to function (well), either by having the human's consciousness transferred into the mech itself or by {{Synchronization}}. The story starts with an Autobot and his pilot being KIA, which spurns the military into searching for new pilots to fill their role, and everything spirals from there.

930* Synopsis: Yes, this is a [=SuperWhoLockFormersOmens=] fic. Yes. Yes, you read that correctly. Here is the prologue of the insanely long series called Small World, in which I've blended about five different fandoms (plus many cameos in the background of others), which focuses mainly on Superwholock. Small World, the actual main story, will debut once the fourteen prologue stories are published here. They are all separate one-shots that create the basis of this little world you are soon to fall head over heels into.
931* ''Comments'': Don't run away! This is written by the same person as Fallout: Transformers, and ohmygosh I can't recommend it enough! She has been planning it out for a while, and knows exactly what she's doing- for the person who only wants the Transformers bits, then chapter 6 is the part that introduces them. I would recommend this JUST for that part. And she made the Impala [[spoiler: Tracks!]] Just... it needs SO much more love!
