One-Shots #1
Presentations
Two mechs stood proudly as their raised their chestplate towards the few visitors who came.
The first mech was half the size of the other one. It had a small frame covered with pale blue paint job for his arms and legs and darker blue paintjob for its chestplate. It had pointy spikes on the back of its helm and its shoulder plates. It had a pair of blue optics. Its designation was Blurr.
The taller one had a larger frame with its body covered with gray and black paintjob on most of it with a few blue green paintjobs on its servos and shoulders plates. Its faceplate was black with a large red optic with two horns looking like reindeers. Its designation was Shockwave.
"I am disagreeing with you author!" Blurr protested as it took a step forward, "When you describe us, you will give a he! I'm a mech and you can consider us living beings from Cybertron."
"I agree with his logic author. Please correct our description," Shockwave nodded positively, "Also, for being clear, our appearance is the same as Transformers Animated, but the author isn't the best to describe us."
Fine.

Better?
They positively nodded.
Let's move on then. Don't break the fourth wall right in the first One-Shot again.
They didn't reply.
"Hello everyone. I am Blurr, one of the two main characters of those collections of One-Shot." What did I say? But the author words were ignored, "You can consider me a more excited one with a lot of energy and doing many things at high speed."
Fine. Do whatever you want.
"What he means is that he is a trouble maker and will act more on the spot than with its helm," Shockwave precise, which cause the other one to hit his chest plate, "Compare to him, I am a calm and collect one who acts on logic. I think you've seen enough incarnation of me to know that."
"Yeah. Boring to the point of feeling like you are offline," Blurr teased.
"If you are wondering why we are giving the presentation, it's because the author is mostly known for more longer stories that he often never finished," Shockwave said with a powerful accusatory tone.
"So this has no plot-line, large scales story or anything like that. It will be divided into one-shots and short stories that will be conceived in one chapter," Blurr added.
Shockwave nodded, "Anything that comes from his imagination, or you suggestion, will be written. One-shot will have between one to five one-shots inside a chapter and will be known to contain around 1 000 words. While the short stories will vary," he checked his data pad, "I think this is all we have to say."
"Time to being the first one-shot!" Blurr said.
"I concur," Shockwave answered before firing a laser blast on the back of Blurr's helm, leaving him offline.
There was a long awkward silence.
"My logical conclusion is that it is boring. Any Cybertronian offline in one shot like that for a many one-shot as we want is going to be unsatisfied for the readers."
That's not the kind of one-shot we are going for. That's obvious. It's not one shot, but one-shot.
Shockwave tilted his helm before nodded, "My mistake. Anyway, being offline is always non-canon and each one-shots have no effect on the next one. Have fun," he looked at the offline body of Blurr, "Because I have to fix him up," he picked up Blurr before adding, "Move on. This one-short is over. Go to the next one already."
Street Race
Blurr was standing on the white line in the middle of one of the largest street of Iacon city. He stretched his joints and prepared to race in the middle of the street.
By his side was a yellow Cybertronian with blue optics, frame built looking a little similar to Blurr, a pair of short yellow horns and a gray faceplate.
Blurr smirked, "You are going to regret challenging me to a race Bumblebee, because I'm going to win this!"
"I am going to show you who's the fastest Cybertronian Blurr," Bumblebee replied, smirking at the victory he was already seeing.
As the tradition in a street race, femme was going to give the signal. Both Bumblebee and Blurr laughed loudly when they saw Shockwave coming in with pink paint. Soon, the crowd watching them also laughed.
"Yeah. Yeah. Laugh all you want. There is no femme who's going to give the signal. It's considered downgrading for a femme to do this," he gazed at the readers, "Thank you SJW and being a bitch about this," he shook his helm, "Anyway. The race starts from here, go around the council building while avoiding the guards and come back here. First one back wins the race!" he grabbed the flag and raised it, "Let's get this over with. Ready!"
Bumblebee and Blurr prepared themselves.
"Set! Go!" Shockwave yelled.
The two cybertronians dashed at extreme speed. They were both side by side as they quickly reached the Council building. They noticed the guards who were having a normal conversation.
"Nice weather we have today," one of them said.
"I heard my horoscope. It said that nothing bad will happen to me," another one said.
It was then that Bumblebee and Blurr passed in front of them and created a large gust of wind that blew at their faces. The guards covered their faceplate while they were hit by debris, denting their frame. They never really saw who passed in front of them. The one who heard his horoscope was the only one who had no dent on his frame. He raised his servo while letting out a victory cry.
Bumblebee accelerated and slowly took the lead over Blurr. They were halfway to the finishing line when the yellow cybertronian said, "Looks like victory is going to be mine Blurr!"
Blurr grinned as he suddenly accelerated, "You can keep dreaming that Bumblebbe. Because I'll stop holding back now!"
The two were once again side by side, no one was sure who was the first in the race as they quickly crossed the distance to the finishing line. At the speed they were going, their optics had trouble to give them the detail of their surrounding, letting them believed they were going blind.
Then, Blurr and Bumblebee made a mistake as they judge the location of the competitions and collided. They both lost their balance and rolled on the ground as their frame slowly dented himself by the damage they were cumulating.
Shockwave sight as he heard them coming back. He turned around, "They are really fast. Anyway, it's time to-" he noticed them rolling at fast speed. Before he could do anything, Blurr collided against him and they were sent to the ground.
After rolling a few times, they stopped rolling and were saying gibberish as their voicebox wasn't fully functioning for a few seconds while Bumblebee continued until he hit someone in the crowd.
Shockwave was the first to recover. Being a warframe had its advantage. He put his servo on his helm and grumbled, "You two are!" he saw Blurr on stasis on his chestplate, he said nothing else as his sparkbeat increased in his spark chamber.
Someone in the crowd asked, "Who win?"
That was a question, no one had the answer. No one could see who was first.
In the end, Shockwave declared, "All of this for almost nothing," before patting the backplates of Blurr.
Closure:This is the end of those one-shots. There will be more one-shots on the way.
Shockwave and Blurr added, "And here's the trailer of the first short story that will be on the way!"
"You better like it, even if they are weak," Shockwave warned them.
Blurr concluded, "Please leave a comments or suggestions for more one-shots, as long as it doesn't go beyond T rating."
Short Story Trailer: The Spark Of Hope
