Well, its good to see that Tara can do other things than using Magicks. But with Megatron on the scene, it might be time to USE that Old Black Magick to put him DOWN!

Primus? PRIMUS! The Autobots and Tara are invoking PRIMUS! Things must be bad if they are calling in the creator of ALL Transformer life! Time to make like a bannana and SPLIT before we puny humans get crushed by all this metal!

Great story. And Tara is still my favorite character. I keep enjoying your wonderful writing. Can I still understand this without seeing the most recent movie?

This is set at the end of the first movie.

Awesome, more Transformers stuff. Good stuff here. And I like what you're doing with Tara...I can see her as being into guns, you make it work. Good show.
Comments from author:
Well, all we know about her is that she's from a redneck-ish family and her mom is dead. My interpretation fits within those guidelines.

Thought this chapter was a little harsh on Sam (not real bashing, but it takes away from his character as shown in the movies and esp. for Mikeala to be so abrupt about Bee when she goes and helps him fight later), maybe I'm just a stickler for the canon heroes to be saving the day in the re-write type of fic. You might be edging a little towards "super-awesome" Tara a little too quickly. Still a very interesting story, and I'm going to keep reading. But there are some points which can let it down.
Comments from author:
To be fair, Sam just sat there with the All Spark feet away staring at Bee, while Mikaela actually did something and the soldiers prepared for battle. I know he's supposed to be the Xander-esque 'everyman' while Mikaela's a bit tougher and the military is obviously tougher, but still. And seriously, there are major plot holes in his behavior, like agreeing to climb a giant building to get away from a FLYING ENEMY as opposed to hauling ass for city limits for an evac in a stolen car or Jazz.

You have done a very well executed story and the way it flows is great. I was pleased to see you make Tara a stronger person, I never did like the meek version of her in the shows - just wrong if you get me.
I was laughing for much of this story and as a gun-toting Northern Michigander I was drooling at the M4. At the moment I only have my Remington 20 Gauge, 30-06 Springfield Semi-Auto Rifle, 16 Gauge and 18 Gauge shotguns and I am hoping to get a new rifle soon if I can find the one I want.
I love the fact that you have the Femmes here and Chromia telling Ironhide off was priceless, I an't wait to see Bee's face when he see's Arcee is here.
I will await the next chapters with baited breath and a prayer to Primus that it is as excellant and laughter filled as these have been. Hope you don't kill off Jazz - that would make me cry, as he is one of the better characters in my mind - but that is me being a Transformers Fan from the 1980's for ya.
Good luck with this and will read more soon.

I'm gonna skip the Arcee/Bumblebee, I think, unless I reassign Arcee to Mikaela and they return to Tranquility with Sam and Bumblebee. Tara could take up with Chromia or our soon-to-arrive other Transformers.

Nice chapter Joe! Love Tara's new hair color and her gun totting self. Nice touch with the added Transformer tech that Tara uses to 'chat' with her new robo-gal pal. Looking forward to more chapters and what might happen to the All-Spark this time around.

It's nothing more than Bluetooth; the Transformers can broadcast straight onto the frequency, acting as the cell phone to Tara's headset.
