UPDATE:

I was surprised to see reviews asking me to just keep going, and I appreciate them more than you know. I didn't think anyone was actually reading the story, but if even one person enjoys it and wants me to keep going, it's worth the effort to me.

I went back and re-read the story, and I was trying to figure out how to bring it to an end. The end episode of Transformers Prime season 3 (not the movie) had left the Well of All Sparks an unresolved issue, along with some left-over Decepticons (and Predacons) that could possibly be trouble. Without spoiling too much, the ending of Pax Cybertronia was going to be about restarting the Well and bringing more new Cybertronians online. The movie ... resolved that for me. I both loved it and wanted to throw a shoe at my television at the same time. X)

I realize I don't have to follow canon but I enjoy trying to weave canon events into my story, I dunno, I guess it feels as if it makes the story "legitimate". I want to write something that feels as if it could be published by Hasbro and be canon itself. So that left me wondering what the ending of my story was going to be! I had to take some time to think about it.

Work on Last Generation gave me more ideas to think about, and then after coming back and reading all the recent reviews, I decide to give canon a wash (Hasbro seems to do this a lot anyways...) and handle things my way. After going over ideas in my head before bed, I ended up, of all things, dreaming of the perfect way to mix what I'd planned, what I'd imagined, and canon into an interesting finale.

Rose's Wings: Kickback was turned female for a specific reason, and it will play into the story. It wasn't like IDW Arcee, who was just surgically altered by Jihaxus in sort of a 'lol what does this button do' way.

Status-Endless, bladerunner89, Anodythe: Thanks for the push, guys. I'll set canon aside, and tell the tale. Now that I have an ending that mentally satisfies me (I often lose heart on a story when canon beats me to the punch), I can pick up where I left off.

Time to get out my Pax Cybertronia youtube playlist and start writing again!

Cheers!
