Author's Introduction and Warning

OK, here it goes, I know this introduction is over a year overdue, and I know you just want to read the story, but I've had this idea nagging at me for a while, and I thought: 'Hey, what the heck. LET'S DO THIS!' So if I could have a few minutes of your time, this is very important.

Title: Forgotten Heroes (just in case you didn't know that already)

Rating: Rated M for high levels of violence, disturbing scenes, and mentally sensitive material.

Summary: Danger's coming. Megatron is in Kaon prison, Sentinel's a dictator - and an ancient Evil has arisen, hungry for revenge. But it was no accident Optimus Prime found the AllSpark. It is time for the forgotten heroes to awaken. Involves quite a lot transformers mythology. Sort of an AU, but continues from Season 4 of Transformers: Animated.

Disclaimer: I hate the idea of doing one EVERY CHAPTER. So, this is the big main one; I don't own transformers, no matter how much I pray and beg and be a good girl for Ol' Saint Nicholas, so I never will. I only own some plotlines, and any OCs I choose to create.

Warnings: Now, by violence, I mean serious violence – like torture, bucket loads of energon, and full blown gory war scenes. So, if you have a weak stomach, or think it will give you nightmares – don't read. There now you can't sue me for emotional trauma – nana nana na!

Beyond the canonical ones, there will be NO RELATIONSHIPS in this fanfic, because I understand everyone has different tastes, OTPs and all that jazz, and I respect that; so whilst I myself am I BIG slash fan, there won't be any in here.

Then, there's the Transformers Mytholgy/Religion. Looking back, I've realised I've made some mistakes, so I'll just take liberties and tweak them a little bit, especially with the whole Primus/Unicron concept, but that's only for the Pre-Cybertron part of the story, so once we're back to the present, the FH Train will be back on the continuality tracks and following the legit Primus/Unicron story in no time. Also whilst characters WILL be popping up from different continuities, this is primary a TFA verse; so again, NO LIKEY, NO READEY. (UK TV joke)

OCs: Yes, I have an OC, and… NO! Please don't throw stuff at me! STOP IT! Oh, I, uh, OK, let's not get aggressive here, just put down the chair, that's it, not good, you know throwing stuff at people before they can finish what they're saying, so if you don't like what you hear after I'm done then you can throw your, um, big, heavy, iron, chair… Yeah, anyway, I have an OC, and she does take up the first five chapters, but that's only so I could get her backstory out of the way as soon as possible, CUZ I HATE 100'S OF FLASHBACKS, JUST GET TO THE DAMN MAIN PLOT ALREADY, yeah rant over, and then the plot bunnies found my sugar cabinet, and just went crazy. So yeah, if she does seem like a Mary-sue, trust me she won't be for long. She seems to be in the beginning, but she's like that for a reason, can't tell you more as it would be a spoiler, but trust me, she's not as 'perfect' as she seems. MWUHAHHHAS!

Yeah, so no Mary-Sues inna my fics – so sit still and don't you dare become major plot characters, or I'll blast your annoying little heads offa ya necks. WAIT! DID YOU JUST MOVE! #cocks machine gun menacingly# I dun wanna see no Mary-Sues in dis here fic, y'all hearin' meh!

Author Record: Honestly – I'm rubbish at deadlines.

I can only write if I'm happy/not busy. I'm studying my A-levels now, so I'm really busy, and I suffer from CRAZY EXTREME MOOD SWINGS – I'm basically the saner human version of TFA Blitzwing – and I get depressed for sometimes months on end, and when I chuck will to live out the window, my desire to write gets flying lessons with it. I've started to see a counsellor, so I'm finally getting the help I need, so I'll be getting better, but if you look at the published date (15th May 2011) you'll see it's been a long hard slog.

Chapter 1 was my first try at writing, and then I gave up on it for a year, but then regained my faith and began chapter 2. So chapter 1: Primus Awful, and Chapter 2: A Pit of a lot better.

But, if you can put up with my random updates, I hope you enjoy the story. I'll try and update quickly, but, we'll just have to see how it goes.
