I love this story.Please keep writing.I would add you to my favs but on this site there aren't any.Do you have a mailing list for updates? I you do please add me to it. I also have a question. Couldn't Sam have both 'Bee and 'Cade? As the chosen one of Primus.It's gotta have perks of some kind right?
Please continue this, as I usually stay up to the "Daily moment of Downtime." To read thereby getting into all kinds of trouble with y husband for staying up too late.

See, I knew I would forget something important! KNEW IT!
And, since essentially what I wanted to comment on was boldly taken to light in chap. 148, I thought that actually reviewing for that chapter (again) would be better then waiting for the next update. (Two reviews for the price of one chapter! It doesn't get much better! ;D )
Ahem...
You have a great many couples in this fic so far. Autobot couples, Decepticon couples, Autobot/Decepticon couples, and even Cybertronion/Human couples. Some just make you feel all warm and bubbly inside, some are too sweet for words, while others are more entertaining and unpredictable. While I enjoy all the couples that you have brought into this story, I must say there is one among them that I feel stands out above the others, in a whole other way. Of them all, Thundercracker and Skywarp have the best dynamic so far.
Why them, one may ask? They're one of the ones we've seen the least of! I didn't even know these two existed before this fic, so why them? Simply put, I like their interactions as a couple best. Please don't take this the wrong way, but the others... Just seem to be all the same. Most of the Autobot couples, and one Decepticon one, act mostly the same way with each other. One is overly protective, while the other hates it, and tries to get away from the extra attention, which causes more trouble and over-protection. Sunny and Sides are one of the different ones, as they make me think of a young teenage couple that don't quite realize what they've gotten into yet. The budding relationships I'll leave alone, as they aren't honest couples yet, and the shyness/oblivious factors make them adorable. Rumble and Frenzy haven't really had a chance to show how they interact yet, what with Megatron in the way, so they slide by too.
Thundercracker and Skywarp, on the other hand, are equal partners. That's the best way to put it. One doesn't hover around and fret over the other, they simply both watch each other's backs. Where one goes, the other would follow; They react to protect each other from threats; They back each other up when it is needed; They can get into fights and then bounce back from them; And they still know how to cuddle. ^-^ This chapter honestly cinched them as one of my favorite couples here, because they work so bloody well together.
(PS- Looking back at my other review today, I was appalled with myself. Offering to help on the grammar side of things, when the last half of it was riddled with typos! *facepalm* Only thing I can say in my defense is that I typed it up too fast and didn't give it a decent 2nd go over before hitting the submit button because friends were at my door for D&D...

Be prepared, as this is gonna be a long one. I have 148 chapters to make up for, you know. ;)
Let me start by saying that this is one of the best stories that I have read in a very, very, VERY long time. You, BDQ, should be very proud of what you have done with this! It's original, engaging, and full of so much well thought out plot that it makes my head spin! Honestly, after seeing Transformers 2, I got into a little fanfiction kick for it, and I didn't have to look far before I found this gem. It's taken me about a week to get through it all, in between work, sickness and general lazy factors, but I couldn't stop. I've stayed up till 3 in the morning all this week because I just didn't want to stop. I've been looking forward to the end of my shift at work, simply because I wanted to get back to this. I have never found a fanfiction that has stolen my attention so! I could sing your praises forever and a day girl! Particularly impressive is your update schedule! Even though you weren't able to make your first deadline of finishing before T2 came out, you've still managed to churn out excellent chapters every time, despite criticism and apparent IRL jack-assery. (BTW, best of luck with regards to all the lawyer/police business!) You truly must have some godly powers in order to keep up with it all!
...Hmn, is that enough ego boosting for now? Really, I can go on. I have a big vocabulary. ;)
(Maybe on to the actual review part now, yes?) There is so much I want to say, that I'm sure I'm going to miss at least a few things. Firstly, I should say that I'm not a hard-core transformers fan. I've never seen the G1 series. The oldest one I can recall watching was Beasties (Beast Wars, whatever...), and I've watched bits and pieces of the newer series, but not enough to really follow the story. That said, I've enjoyed being introduced to characters I'd previously never heard of before through Cover Me. For those introduction chapters, I had another window open on wikipedia/google to look up each new name as I got to it, but all the information I found was sub-par at best. I was a little apprehensive going in then, because I had no idea what to expect. Hell, I didn't even know that these guys even vaguely looked like! (You mentioned bio pages that you worked off of to write characters like the RTP. Could I beg you for the links? My goggle powers have failed me, I can't find anything! It makes me sad...) But despite that, I have come to love the characters you've made. Maybe it's because I have no prior experience with them, and so cannot rage about any OOCness, but I probably wouldn't care either way. The development of them within this universe you have is realistic, quirky, and down-right fun! And, I can honestly say that I'm surprised at how often you've had to remind people that the characters were going to be/are OOC. Boggling, really. You've even given explanations for OOCness in story (Survival mode, Pregnancy mood attacks, etc.), so it shouldn't be a problem at all...
And I LOVE all the plot twists! MegaFrenzy has to be one of my favorites! The pairings are all so fun too! Though, I have to admit, coming in I totally though things were going to end up Barricade/Bumblebee. I was actually starting to root for it too. They were bickering like an old married couple, I thought it was so cute! But then Sam had to get in the way.... BAH! (Lol, j/k) That made me a little sad, coming to accept that shocker, but I've moved on. I'm all for Optimus/Megatron now. >:D Make it happen! It is my one demand! I want a happy ending for them... And for Bumblebee too! Two demands then. I hate seeing 'Bee so angsty sad. Megs too. Happy endings, please? (I'm a happy ending person, so sue me. XD) I was happy that Jazz came back too. He was one of my favorites from the movie, so I can't express the sheer happy feelings of having him back! And poor Perceptor and Misfire. When nobody was listening to them! I wanted to give the both of them big hugs! "I'll listen to you!" :D And Will's predicament made me giggle. I knew something had happened when that Sparkling disappeared after their 'moment', but I wasn't sure at first who it went too. But, I guess it was Spark radiation that mutated Will's inner anatomy after all. XD Primus is awesome epic funny too. He keeps on making me laugh! And I think I've fallen in love with the RTP because of this too. LOVE EM! The Gremlins too. They need no explanation.
SEE LOOK. I'm rambling now, because there is so much I love, and not enough brain space to formulate honest sentences to convey it! And all that doesn't even cover the theories! Like Megatron's 'virus'! He's been all hush-hush about it, and you can tell it's probably not just a virus for the way he talks/thinks about it. I thinking, maybe an actual bug? Like, a parasite, not a virus. Something that took him over? And it was gone without Primus' help because the parasite couldn't follow his spark in death. Then, perhaps it jumped to the nearest available thing, being Starscream, which is what is making him worse? That's another thing. I gotta wonder if Starscream is really going to be the ultimate bad-guy here, or if he is just another victim too. You have shown yourself to twist that notion already. The bad-guys not being as bad as everyone thinks. ;) Will he get a happy ending too? And, if it really is something else entirely that made Megatron/Strascream go 'bad', maybe that was what the whole war was for? So the Cybertronians could learn to fight again so as to repel an attack from a whole different source? More aliens, perhaps?...
OH, the possibilities.
I told you this was going to be long. ^-^ Either way, I think I've finally run out of things to say. I'll probably remember something else later, but I suppose I can include that in later reviews. On this parting note, 3 more things to cover.
1. It you would like, I would be more then willing to help re-vamp past chapters if you need it. While I am not an editor by career, I am a decent proof reader. Seriously, I get all my friends essays/assignments to read over before hand-in because I'm somehow naturally good at it. Oo' And if I can help such an awesome author with my weird skills, then I will offer!
2. Damn you for giving me inspiration bunnies. I am an artist by career. You will most likely get fanart from me soon….
3. Keep up the good job! I can’t wait for more! (Literally! I was running through all those chapters so fast, because I wanted to catch up, but now I regret no having more to read! D: )

Hey, ilove your story! I have a question though. Is Will preggers? cause if he is, how are you gonna explain that?
