* ScheduleSlip: The author's difficulties with his senior year of college interfered in the completion of installment #35, "Combine and Conquer", while various other RealLife difficulties between him and the editor have delayed release of new installments (and edits of older ones). Unfortunately, the schedule has continued to slip from there.

As for that little thing called plot. [[Franchise/TheTwilightZone Imagine if you will]] a Transformers universe where things are a little different. Nine million years ago, the Quintessons created what would one day become the Autobots, Decepticons and Mini-Cons. They rebelled. Five million years after that, the Decepticons suffered a political split as a result of a power-hungry general named Megatron, and civil war erupted, with the end result being the Mini-Con exodus. In AD 2005, the Mini-Cons are found on Earth, and all three factions - the Autobots, led by [[BigGood Optimus Prime]]; the rogue Decepticons, led by [[BigBad Megatron]]; and the allied Decepticons, led by Straxus [[spoiler: and later Starscream]] - all try to retrieve them, eventually revealing themselves to humanity at large. Oh, and did I mention there's TimeTravel, more than one AlternateUniverse, and [[EldritchAbomination Unicron]] is involved too?

Aside from that, and some odd references to Cobra-La, nothing's been firmly established.]]
