I'm glad to know that the dark atmosphere came through so well--the image of Iacon as a polluted, horrific industrial metropolis grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let me go until I'd finished the piece. Strangely enough, I found a benevolent Megatron a little easier to write than a diabolical Optimus, which probably has something to do with my love of Optimus' usual character.

There may be more, in fact. This universe is mightily addictive. ^-^;
