This is the third time I've read through this FanFiction. It's just that good.
This is honestly the story that attracted me to Soundwave (my favorite character from any fandom ever) and the Constructicons to begin with-which, believe me, is a big deal for me. I held absolutely no interest in any of those mech.s before reading this. This also fueled my obsession with Barricade and Blackout practically being best friends. I just can't get over how wonderfully-written this FanFiction is, and this time around, it fueled a lot of other FanFiction ideas.
I, myself, do not like my own Fanfictions, no matter how much praise I receive, which is why I'm about to shamefully make the suggestion for you to possibly write them. (Plus, I'd feel like I'd be stealing your ideas anyway. Ha, I don't even know if you still write or even check anymore.)
These are the ideas I got (some are better than others):
~You guys touched on Barricade's PTSD, but I would like to see it elaborated. Like, it's triggered somehow and he tries to hide it for a long period of time/others don't notice the agony he's experiencing for some reason and he's left to deal with it.
~Blackout's claustrophobia. I don't know, buried or trapped in a small space for an extensive amount of time until someone finds him?
~Blackout actually trying to come-on to Barricade instead of just the usual play, or the other way around. Both would be very interesting. (I know you personally have paired Barricade with Skywarp before in a few of your other 'Fictions)
~Bumblebee contacts Blackout at some point in the far future. I was feeling it would have to be in secret for some reason, however. Add to the suspense.

Now, I honestly feel really crappy about suggesting you write specific kinds of FanFictions because, for all I know, you really just do not want to, or aren't a fan of this kind of pressure/suggestion. But, there's also the slim chance that you actually like these ides, are willing to write them, and eventually do. And for me, this risk is worth-it.
Thank you for any sort of consideration, and, simply, for writing this FanFiction with Optimus Bob in general. It will always be one of my favorite FanFictions of all time.

How to get away with collaborating with Autobots... Blow up the one mech who would likely have something to say about it! Good plan Starscream! This story was awesome! Good job!

"No more Special Barricade Help." BARRICADE, I LOVE YOU! XD Antepathy, your version of the four-eyed 'Con is quite possibly my favorite character ever, in any story, fanfiction or otherwise. I just love him to pieces. :) Snark on!

I absolutely LOVE how Blackout never calls Bumblebee by his correct designation. Bonanza... Boobleblurp... Billybong... I laugh at each and every one. ;)

Oh man. The sheer snark in this was wonderful.

Ok.

I absolutely love this story to bits- everything was just awesome. The characterisation was excellent (I loved your interpretations of them- Starscream, Barricade, Blackout, Soundwave, Megs- just all of them!), great plot and some of the funniest lines of my life (chapter 15's "Show me on the dolly where the bad robot touched you" nearly killed me! XD). I loved the banter between the Decepticons and the line "There is easy, and then there is," they both spoke the last part, like a secret joke, "the Decepticon way." XD

Gold.

Yeah, basically I loved all of it. :D You two are probably my favourite writers on FF- no other writers can drag this level of enthusiasm about a story from me.

I would be very much up for reading the sequel, should it ever occur... ;D

Thanks for the awesome story. :D

Okay, the tension is about to break the little rubber band!

Outtta review-words. Still good stuff, though.

Oh, let's just crank up the tension a notch or eight-three, ya think?

This chappie is better-written than a few of them. Tersely, it puts forth the problem, and offers a completely unacceptable solution. Cause we've only got like nine chappies left.

Oh, slag. Wait. Someone just said that. Still pretty good.

And the snark just keeps on snarking ... to continued amusement of all beholders.

I like the fact that Bumblebee is never called the same name twice by Blackout. Pretty funny. Getting worried though, because I think you might have used every name except Beeblebrox and Dumbledore so far ...

This "Yes, I might like him" dropped into the middle of a situation where liking anyone merely makes both liker and likee vulnerable is quite touching.

And in the middle of all the exciting jollies, a moment of vulnerability.
