Summary
The dark was pressing in all around Optimus, a thick sludge that weighed on him like a rockfall, heavy and suffocating. You would assume it would be quiet here, in this strange, suspended place- but it was deafening. The soft, young voice of a boy would sometimes cut through, calling out, begging him to transform, to run, to stop whatever destruction he was causing. When this happened, it was like the sludge thinned to water, allowing him a brief glance at the world and his actions, but he just couldn’t reach the surface. His heavy metal frame made him sink lower and lower, no matter how hard he tried to swim upwards, until the voice faded and he was once again alone in darkness.
Optimus snapped his optics open, his intake quicker than normal, relaxing only when he identified the roof of his small room at his base. The dream- or memory, more like it- whilst it was most definitely not pleasant, didn't hurt as much as it once had. He had seen and felt the memory over and over, waiting in the shadows to drag him back.
Or: Optimus struggles to come to terms with his new Dino alt mode.

Summary
The Lost Light crew is living their best life after splitting off from their extradimensional counterparts. Or, well, BECOMING their own extradimensional counterparts. Dimensional travel is confusing like that!
Unfortunately it's about to get a lot more confusing because Brainstorm has been up to something(tm), and it has led to consequences.
Meanwhile, in another dimension, Rodimus has woken up in a completely unfamiliar place!
Meanwhile, in another dimension, Ratchet has woken up in a completely unfamiliar place!
Meanwhile, in another dimension, Cyclonus has woken up in a completely unfamiliar place!
Meanwhile, in another- you get the idea.
This is basically going to be a connected anthology of crossover stories plopping IDW characters into other continuities' universes.

Summary
How do you hide an alien who can turn into a fighter jet? In plain sight, of course. How do you make sure his alien, also transforming, former friends don't get at him? By employing him with the only team around that can take the hit of protecting him. And you can't forget his dog.
The Avengers get a new team member, though they don't immediately realise it. Thundercracker gets a new team, but it's going to take a serious adjustment period.
An Avengers focused crossover AU for IDW Transformers Gen1 that started as a love letter to MCU Avengers 2012 and rapidly devolved into something closer to Earth's Mightiest Heroes in vibes and continuity. Pulls extra characters and plot points from Transformers G1 and Marvel 616. Arc 1 complete, Arc 2 in progress.

Summary
After the events of Transformers: Prime, Starscream is beaten to near-death by Predaking, leaving him completely blind. When a ground bridge suddenly opens in front of him, Starscream takes the chance at rescue and crawls through, only to find himself on the Nemesis with the remaining Autobots. Supplies are limited, and Starscream is forced to live without optics until a suitable replacement set is discovered or built from scratch. Alone, blind, without a leader to serve (or overthrow), or even a war to fight anymore, Starscream is left completely powerless for the first time, having no choice but to submit to the Autobots or take his chances on the ruins of Cybertron. Optimus Prime is dead, but the Autobots honor his spark by giving the seeker one final chance to change his ways, as they know he would have. Starscream, stripped of all of his power, is forced to face what is left, finding nothing but a husk of the mech he was before the war. Is it truly possible to change after losing so much? Or is he doomed to repeat his past mistakes?
