Chapter X: Epilogue

Soundwave and Tracks took some time to adjust to each other, but they ended up staying together. Their passion not only outlasted the war on Earth, but it also outlasted the concept of "Decepticons". After the war, they spent many eons traveling the universe. Mostly just for fun.

They had a whole bunch of little sparklings. To list all their children would be a huge effort, and it'd all be silliness like "SOUNDWAVE begat URSUS who begat WINDCHIME and FALCO who begat TORPEDO and FORTUNE and RAINMAKER and SOUNDWAVE II and etc etc."

Soundwave and Tracks got married shortly after the war ended. Soundwave wore a very nice tuxedo, and Tracks wore a big frilly dress. Optimus Prime was the minister, and the list of guests included Smokescreen, Mirage, and all the cassettes. And they all wore tuxedos. Yes, even the cassettes wore tuxedos. Ravage so cuuuuute~

Starscream was a terrible bumbling leader to the decepticons. He and his crew got savagely beaten in every fight they got into. Starscream spent more time dancing around in his cape and singing "Queen" songs than he did actually fighting. Starscream was taken prisoner after he attempted to fend of the autobots by himself, claiming to be the incarnation of Primus and Unicron. After the war, he went back home to Cybertron and resumed his career as a scientist.

…He still spent more time dancing around in his cape and singing "Queen" songs than he did actually doing science, though... Although some would argue that that is practically its own science. Which would make Starscream a really good scientist... It's all about perspective, really.

Skywarp joined the autobots after Starscream poked him in the optics, made him cry, and then laughed at him. He spent most of his time with the autobots doing little more than stealing energon and getting wasted behind inconspicuous rock formations. He proved instrumental in defeating Unicron, and was given a really neat medal that he still wears to this very day.

Smokescreen mellowed out a bit, and stuck around as the official psychiatrist on the Ark. He preferred to stay out of combat situations, and ended up relocating his office to Cybertron after the war ended.

Mirage continued to fight alongside the autobots right up until the end of the war. After the war ended, he went back to his estate on Cybertron. Mirage had many awesome tea parties.

Optimus Prime ruled over the autobots until the war ended. He became elected as the official "Prime" of Cybertron. He spent many years as prez, until he got bored and retired. As in intergalactically famous celebrity, he had absolutely no problems in launching his otherwise-flawed art career.

Megatron's remains stayed in stasis lock for ages upon ages. Eventually, Optimus revived his rival... with a catch. Megatron was rebuilt and free... But Optimus had a giant orange cap welded onto the barrel of Megatron's cannon, leaving his offensive capabilities... somewhat neutered. Now he's just a homeless guy who gets beaten up a lot.

And... that's that. Thanks for the read-through, script kiddies. See you next fic~
