I'm finally out of my writer's block! Not only am I working on a new story from an old idea, I have an idea for a fanfic and for a possible novel!
The fanfin is bounced off of Transformers 3 screenplay novel. I loved the action on the last Transformers movie, but the story line sucked in a lot of places. The original screenplay, before Michael Bay fucked it over- please note that I mean exactly that, and I very rarely use profanity even at home- had a lot more interaction of Sam and Sentinal. It had Megatron survive as well as Optimus, though Optimus executed Sentinel. Cybertron was not destroyed. Sam stopped the space bridge, by throwing Dylan in it. That son of a bitch Bay did not want another movie coming after his and showing it up for the crap it was. And while a lot of you (meaning most of the guys) got something out of seeing Carly's legs, I sure didn't.
In other words, if that jackass Bay had followed the screenplay, the movie would have been one hell of a lot better.
However, in my AU, Optimus would be thrown into stasis by Sentinel, who then kills Megatron. Starscream, Soundwave, and a lot of the other Decepticons who died in the movie will remain dead, as Sentinel was not all that impressed with them. He needs builders and workers now, not sadistic killers.
The surviving Autobots are rounded up and sent with Optimus and the sparklings to Mars or the Moon, where they can be left to their own devices but are unable to leave, and left to raise the sparklings along with a few other projects.
Sentinel tried to take the Matrix from Optimus, and goes on a trip to visit the Ancients. They tell him that he is not worthy to handle the Matrix, but that he can redeem himself. They also tell him that one other person besides Optimus can handle the Matrix "the one who has already earned the right by his sacrifice, as Optimus did." Sentinel leaves the Matrix with Optimus, who remains in stasis.
Sam and the survivors to both Lennox and Epps' teams retreated into Chicago, which is sealed off. Sentinel calls off the Decepticons left, and tells them to leave the humans alone, but not allow anyone else to leave. From there, he uses his study of humans to begin their change from an independent species to a subservent one.
Epps and his team get out to spread the word of what happens; Carly and Sam are with them, but get cut off by a patrol. At some point, Carly is away from Sam, recognized by one of the Cybertronians, and taken back to Dylan. Sam is caught up in a press gang, and winds up being on one of the first working teams to go to Cybertron to start the rebuilding. Sam is not recognized as the Cybertronians who took and work with him are new to humans and he has grown a beard.
For that reason Sentinel is not able to find him for quite some time. Then, when touring an area that is being rebuilt, he hears that one of the humans are caught in a sentient factory which has been restarted. The factory recognizes Sam as sentient and gets him out, where he lands in his supervisor's hands before Sentinel's eyes. Sentinel claims Sam, though the supervisor protests that Sam is one of his best workers.
I haven't gotten much further yet. But that's a start. I want to get my original story going a little better and reread the screenplay novel before I start working on this. But I think it will be a good fanfic.
If you are reading this, give me an opinion!
