K.W.C. Side Trips

[GmkGoji]

Oh hey, new side tri-
That's mine!

Was fun to write, and I hope you all enjoyed it! And thank you very much to those who've already said they have!

[Voyager]

Is anyone working on these? It's been pretty quiet.

I have an idea in mind but I gotta focus on other matches I've been behind on for a while.

As a Transformers lover, No More is a pretty great start to their time in the KWC.

Spoiler:

This is a pretty unique take on the end of the Cybertronian war, not in some big battle against the ultimate enemy, but a slow, meticulous end over the course of years, each side slowly losing more until one simply has gained more ground to force a surrender. It’s a realistic take on the situation that I appreciate.

I really liked everyone’s stories, though my favorites would probably have to be Megatron and Wheeljack’s.

“How the mighty have fallen” doesn’t even begin to describe this. I can see the DOTM inspiration with Megs being alone forced to deal with bugs in his brain forever, but it’s got enough to make it feel distinct. Megs’ bridges being burned has a deliciously dark comedic edge to it, (I especially liked what I believe to be a Keyan Carlile reference), and the final scene actually gave me chills. Megatron just giving up and letting Starscream have his victory, giving him some final pieces of advice. There’s almost a twisted sweetness to the scene, the two acknowledging that their long game has finally come to a close. Megatron has fallen…

Wheeljack’s tale was also really nice to read, watching as he dealt with his grief by just talking to one of his best friends. Optimus is written immaculately here, I’m glad he actually gets something resembling a happy ending here as he comforts Wheeljack by letting him share stories of the ones they lost. It’s a nice, warm scene to end a story filled with bloodshed.

Immaculate job here, can’t wait for the Transformers to get a proper match of their own.

Aye, I must concur. This is a pretty solid read throughout, and it was really cool seeing the other characters coming to their conclusions.

Spoiler:

While Megatron and Wheeljack's chapters are great conclusions to the story, I find myself drawn to Thundercracker's chapter. That one just kinda spoke to me. The start of a slow defect on the Decepticon side.

Though I do want to highlight Shockwave's death, and how it informs Elita's story. So good.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you really liked it and thought it was a great debut for the Transformers in general. And yeah, focusing on the thought process between six characters as opposed to the war as a whole was definitely my goal and something I really wanted to do. It's something I feel like we don't get too often. Not just Transformers, but other franchises in general.

I can't say I'm too familiar with Keyan Carlile aside from that kickass Transformers: Combaticons pilot he did. However, that was the intended reference I made for the Combaticon mention during the Megatron chapter. I am very curious to check out more of his channel now that you mention it.

Thank you, my good man. I'm glad you liked it as well.

That was indeed what I was referring to! Thanks for the kind words, hope to enjoy your next venture.

[Nickel Smart]

I can easily see a fair amount of stories and matches coming from the world of No More considering everything we didn’t see from the war,

Spoiler:

Soundwave deserting the Decepticons, Megstron mentioning Blitzwing deserting, and Starscream now leading them

. I’d love to see portrayals of the Maximals, Predacons, Quintessons, and Unicron. Not to mention potential non Transformers characters potentially appearing.
