Archive? You'd better.
Warnings: None really, at least not here. My Transformers are overall less blocky than the ones in G1, shaped more humanoid but still with plates. Makes for easier sex scenes to imagine. They can also reproduce via the spark principle, among compatible individuals. More on that later. And yeah, they have sex.
Skyfire has a major falling out with Optimus Prime. He leaves the autobots and learns his true heritage as decepticon. Starscream awaits, as do many others. (Blitzwing, Astrotrain, minicon Breaker, Thundercracker, Starscream, Skywarp, Octane) H/C,Yaoi
Pairing: Skyfire, Astrotrain, Blitzwing, minicon Breaker
Wing Shift
Kisses and Consequences

Skyfire and Starscream stretched lazily inside a small cove. They watched the stars among crystal skies, cuddled against mossy rocks.
"Hmm." Skyfire kissed his seeker. "I wonder...is love a drug?"
Starscream nipped his nose affectionately. "If it is, I hope to stay high forever."
White fingers stroked silver lips. "I never get enough of you, Star. You drive me crazy."
A blissful sigh. "Perfection, Sky. Everything will be ours one day. An empire, glorius rule..."
The big jet nuzzled. "Speaking of the future, I wonder what Breaker's warning was about?"
"What warning?"
"The odd comment he made about sparklings. It seemed to come from nowhere."
Starscream reached for an energon treat from their provisions. "Lie back."
"Mm." Skyfire angled himself to a resting position. Starscream climbed over him.
"Who knows what your minicon is up to?" he fed his bondmate the candy.
Skyfire munched, content. /Breaker can be exasperating at times, but he's very knowledgeable./
Starscream snuggled and fed his lover more candy. "Maybe so, but he's still a little pain."
/He means well./
Starscream leaned down for a kiss. /I don't doubt that. Still, listening to _him_ preach control is pretty funny./
"Mnn." Skyfire clutched his seeker. /Can't control.../
/Greedy, cog sucking jet.../
The hard kiss lasted nearly ten minutes. /I need sweet things to eat. Like a tasty seeker!/
Sleek blue hands found sensitive body seams and probed. "I plan to have cake myself." a raspy giggle.
Skyfire closed his optics to slits, wings flexing anxiously. "Yesss..." pale fingers massaged his bondmate.
A soft whine of engines was heard in the faint distance. Starscream angled his head upwards momentarily.
_"Damn._ Always an unwelcome interruption!"
Skyfire groaned beneath him. "Sounds like we have company." he eased to a sitting position.
Starscream molded against his larger bondmate. "Just outside of scanner range. We'll know soon enough who it is."
The couple patiently watched the skies. Two familiar forms were now detected in range. Familiar forms flying even more erratically than Thundercracker and Skywarp had earlier.
"I don't believe it!" Starscream exclaimed.
Skyfire stared, nearly enraptured. "It's Blitzwing and Astrotrain."
****
The two triple changers put on an aerial dance show complete with flips, slow arcs and wing taps. They moved in flawless synch from eons of intimacy.
"Amazing." Skyfire stared at their movements.
Starscream nodded in agreement, not liking the tone. "Yes, they're very impressive. You seem quite taken with their performance."
Blue optics blazed in the cove gloom. "How long do you suppose they've been together?"
"Far longer than we've been alive, I would venture." Starscream was edgy. "And now that we're all in sensor range I have no doubt part of the show is for _your_ benefit."
It was Skyfire's turn to be annoyed. "Give me a little credit, Starscream. I told you I'm fully aware of their tricks."
"Being aware and resisting are two different things. Aren't you the least bit concerned about the possibilities?"
Skyfire kept staring up. "Somewhat. But they aren't hostile, and I owe them my life."
"But _not_ your spark!" Starscream nearly shouted. "This is ridiculous. If you succumb, it will complicate things and make our relationship difficult."
"No." Skyfire stroked a silver cheek. "Nothing comes before you, Star. You know it's true."
Starscream kissed a white hand. "I don't like the idea of sharing you, no matter how pleasant."
"You worry too much." Skyfire cradled his bondmate. "Aren't they _wonderful?"_ he was staring up again. "Beautiful and timeless..."
Starscream watched his expression in shock. His bondmate was positively star struck.
"They gleam in the moonlight like polished gems." the deep voice was smooth.
Starscream shook him. _"Snap out of it!"_
Blue optics flickered wildly. "Do you feel hungry, Star? Perhaps we should call them down."
The red seeker tried another tack. /Listen to me! This is what I tried to warn you about./
Skyfire glanced at him in distraction. /Warn me?/
/Use that fabulous brain, you big oaf! Astrotrain tampered with your spark. I suspect there's an activation that's going on./
"Activation of what?" Skyfire asked dully.
Starscream shook him again. "Call it a love switch, I guess. Once activated, well-"
Blue optics narrowed. "I'm not...in love, Starscream."
"Then stop acting like a hopeless sap!" Starscream turned his head skyward. "I almost _wish_ they would come down. I've a few choice words to say-"
Skyfire pointed at a sudden descent. "I think they heard you."
****
High above, Astrotrain and Blitzwing were enjoying themselves. Playful dives and spins followed a heavy night of passion.
"I suppose I shouldn't stay angry too long." Blitzwing admitted while doing a crazy whirl. "Skyfire is quite tasty."
Astrotrain likewise did wild loops, nearly standing on his nose in midair. "My other skills didn't sway you, Blitzy?"
A tap from a purple wing. "Well, talent _is_ important." a snicker. "Making up is most delightful after fighting!"
"Of course." Astrotrain straightened up suddenly. "Blitz...I sense the change in Skyfire! My touch holds."
"Hmm." the shuttle flew alongside his bondmate, also sensing something. "I do believe it's started, Astro!"
Hollow laughter from Astrotrain. "No time like the present."
Blitzwing did a sudden dive. "I just _love_ fast food!"
****
Starscream stood defiantly as the triplechangers descended. "I'll reward their nerve with much pain!"
Skyfire still sat in a relaxed pose nearby. "They aren't enemies, Starscream. Their manipulations annoy me, but there's no reason for hostility."
"Speak for yourself." the red seeker hissed. "People need to learn their place!"
"I consider them friends." Skyfire was stubborn. "As do you. Don't forget, I feel your conflict in our bond!"
Starscream spared him an exasperated look. "Whose side are you on, anyway?!"
Before Skyfire could respond, the triplechangers landed nearby. They transformed and approached.
"A beautiful night, is it not?" Blitzwing smiled secretively.
"Yes." Starscream agreed. "A night for truth!"
"Oh?" Astrotrain edged alongside his bondmate. He glanced at Skyfire. "And what truth would you care to reveal, Starscream?" a sly smile.
"The truth of injury if you don't back off!"
Blitzwing observed him. "Such harsh words, seeker. Hardly necessary, considering our history."
_"What_ history?" Skyfire asked sharply. He looked at his bondmate suspiciously.
"It's nothing, Sky. They're just trying to confuse the issue-"
Blitzwing smiled at the big jet. "He never told you?"
Skyfire stared at his mate, demanding answers. "Starscream? What's he talking about?"
A sigh as Starscream capitulated. The seeker lowered his gaze. "It was so long ago. When I returned to Cybertron after losing you on earth, I was...hurt, lonely. I had nowhere to turn, nowhere to stay. Our world was embroiled in war."
Skyfire stuttered. "Are you telling me-"
Starscream nodded at the triplechangers. "They took me in, helped me get on my feet."
Skyfire stared in amazement and shock. "They..._recruited_ you!" the similarites to his own situation slammed home.
"Yes, Sky." Starscream's tone was flat. "I was...adrift, my spark was cold. And I felt anger. Anger at losing you to a primitive planet. Anger at myself for not finding you. And finally anger at what happened on Cybertron. Most of our associates and friends were dead or missing."
"Primus." Skyfire covered his optics. "So then...are you saying they _saved_ you?"
Starscream cleared his vocalizer. "It is difficult for me to admit being so needy...as well you know. I've always been prideful. But Blitzwing and Astrotrain came along at the right time in my life."
Blue optics narrowed. "You didn't tell me-"
"Don't condemn him, Skyfire." Blitzwing said, his voice deep with memory. "Starscream was so young. No direction, no purpose...a recipe for extinction in the midst of war. And his pain attracted us, he was so very lovely."
"We _felt_ for him, Skyfire." Astrotrain supplied.
Skyfire sighed. "I suppose I owe you again, then."
"Don't be angry with me, Sky." Starscream pleaded. "No matter their tricks. I would never...it was so long ago I didn't see where it was relevant now."
Skyfire reached out. "Come here, Star."
The seeker moved to him and took his hand.
Astrotrain smiled at the couple. "They remind me of us at the beginning, Blitz."
Blitzwing grinned. "Yes. So very protective of a bondmate."
"I won't trade for the past." Starscream insisted.
"We aren't asking you to." Blitzwing stunned the seeker by squeezing his other hand. "Our touch is many things."
"I...remember." Starscream faltered.
"There is no need to be defensive, either." Astrotrain soothed, his voice like silk. He glanced up at Skyfire.
"As I told you before, _many pleasures_ are yours for the taking."
"Y...yes." Skyfire felt himself lost in fiery red optics. Like a moth to flame.
Skilled fingers trailed touches of fire along a white arm. "You will come with us now. _Both_ of you."
"I...will...this...is..."
Blitzwing was already embracing an entranced Starscream. "Once touched, always touched. The night is young, beautiful ones."
Skyfire dragged his optics from Astrotrain momentarily. "Starscream...." /what's happening to us? I feel weird./
"It's...alright, Sky." Starscream stumbled, his optics glazed. "Everything will be fine. You'll see."
"But...something...can't...resist..." Skyfire couldn't form a coherent thought. Astrotrain was staring through his very _spark._ The big jet was utterly transfixed.
/Come to my touch, come to me./ a timeless voice echoed in his head.
Skyfire shook his head desperately to clear it. /This is...insane...not bonded.../
/There are other ways, young one./ Skyfire found himself being led into the cave. He vaguely remembered seeing his bondmate kissing Blitzwing feverishly nearby.
/You were right, love. I didn't listen!/
/Enjoy this night, Sky. Nothing else matters now!/
Skyfire had no memory of how or why. He only knew seconds later he held an irresistable Astrotrain in his arms.
****
/The world dissolved into a haze of pleasure and sensation. Bodies blended and merged, only to separate and merge again. Vague impressions of lust/want/love? Protectiveness and need. Lips kissed, hands were everywhere. Scorching touches and ecstatic moans followed by bursting wetness. He was on top, then below. Starscream was pressed into everyone, his body moving in rapid and sinuous motion. Skyfire grabbed his prize as he could. Starscream moaned loudly, clutching everyone with need. The white jet completely lost it when skilled hands brought him to climax several times.
The sex was delicious, sweetly evil. Unbound and unasked for, yet explicitly wanted. Pleasure so intense it was nearly pain. His mainframe shook and rattled with each thrust, horrible noises erupting from his vocalizer. His beautiful Starscream was likewise consumed. Some small part of Skyfire rebelled before an invisible _something_ would stroke his spark, driving him to insanity once again. Processors cooked, ports boiled and spilled over. The universe was deep and wet, splattered with twisting, lusting, fucking, humping lushness. Blessed overload finally sent everyone over the edge./
Blitzwing and Astrotrain recovered first. They sat against a wall in the cave, embracing. Like protective parents they watched the unconscious bondmates still tangled from passion.
Blitzwing kissed his own bondmate. "So...are you finally satisfied?"
Astrotrain sighed happily, optics nearly closed. "Very much so. Aren't they adorable?"
A nuzzle. "Hmm. I must admit, that was subtle. Working their own bond to our advantage was a masterpiece."
Astrotrain kissed his mate's hand. "Didn't I _tell_ you, Blitzy? No one lays a better trap than me. Besides, I thought they would make a nice anniversary present for you."
Red visiors glowed. "You wicked, evil, useless piece of scrap. No wonder I love you!" another kiss.
A snicker. "After all, how could I forget our 598,200th anniversary?"
Blitzwing coughed. "I'll have you know that was _last_ vorn."
"Would you feel better celebrating in earth years?"
The decepticon tank thought that over. "Never mind. I'm sure Breaker would have fun teasing us about _that."_
Astrotrain smiled at the young decepticons. "So when will the sleeping beauties awaken, I wonder?"
Blitzwing glanced out at the cave entrance at still dark skies. "Dawn's about three hours away. We'll have to be back to base by then. They can still rest a little."
Astrotrain followed his optics. "Well, well...maybe we should call this _lover's cove!"_
"Indeed." Blitzwing grinned. Through the cave opening they saw the sleek forms of Thundercracker and Skywarp flying west towards open ocean. Their forms outlined against the moon at low horizon.
"They're probably heading back now." Blitzwing observed.
"I believe they've bonded, Blitz. Long overdue if you ask me-" Astrotrain's comment was interrupted by a deafening sonic boom that rapidly faded into distance.
Blitzwing chuckled, leaning back against his bondmate. "That's Thundercracker's signature _I'm freaking happy_ racket."
"Good for them." Astrotrain cuddled. The triplechangers were quiet for a bit, relaxing in afterglow.
A scratchy cough caught their attention. Starscream sat against Skyfire awkwardly, retracting his pleasure unit with care. He was terribly sore and exhausted.
"That...sounded like Thundercracker."
"It was." Blitzwing nodded. "Early morning to you, Starscream."
"I'd tell you what's right and wrong with it." the red seeker held his head. "But right now I'm in no shape to do so."
The tank waved at the cave entrance. "Well as you can see, it isn't even light yet. So relax a bit. We'll be returning to base soon enough."
A raspy rattle. "My chronometer says just under three hours to dawn."
"Starscream." Skyfire finally spoke. A hand covered his optics.
Sleek blue hands touched the prone jet. "Are you alright, love?"
"I've been lying here for some time, trying to get my brains unscrambled." the white jet sat up. Blue optics flared in the cave gloom.
"I was just lying here thinking about _treacherous and funky_ old decepticons!"
"My, haven't we gotten up on the wrong side of the cave?" Astrotrain was nonplussed. "You're beautiful, first thing."
"I don't feel beautiful. _You tricked me!"_
"Tch. What trick? We never lied about wanting you. Besides, you knew about the spark tampering. Are you finished being in stubborn denial?"
"What denial!" Skyfire snapped.
"I _told_ you this would happen!" Starscream screeched.
"We'll talk about this later." Skyfire held his head, wincing. "I think I've burned out something."
Blitzwing stared at him intensely. "No, but I suggest you do a system shutdown for an hour or two. At your earliest convenience, of course."
"No thanks to you!"
"Why are you so angry?" Astrotrain asked. "You seemed to enjoy yourself with great...relish." a snicker.
"I didn't even know what I was _doing!"_ Skyfire attempted to stagger up, his pleasure unit dangling heavily.
Starscream noticed. "Sit down, you'll get them started again!" he hissed, yanking at a white hand.
Blitzwing smacked his lip components. "You might want to do something with that, pretty one."
Astrotrain watched with great interest also. "Or surely _we_ will. Come, a touch will ease your aches and pains."
Skyfire fell to a knee, pointing a shaky finger. "You stay over there. There's been enough _touching_ for one night!"
"I sense the lie on your lips, Skyfire." Blitzwing chastised. "Pain sometimes follows pleasure, but the truth always remains."
The white jet shook his head. "Slag it, I'm too...I can't argue about this right now." he fell heavily over Starscream. The seeker braced him.
"Skyfire?" strong blue arms held fast.
"You were right, Star. Now I need to sleep some more." sky bright optics flickered and narrowed.
Blitzwing pointed. "Astrotrain."
Silently, his bondmate nodded and approached the other two. Starscream pointed a null ray in warning. Unfazed, Astrotrain took his hand and stroked it, tickling the palm.
"Bright Star, I mean no harm to either of you."
Starscream gawked. "You haven't called me that in eons."
Astrotrain smiled vaguely. "This is a special occasion." Fingers spaced over crimson optics. Starscream felt his systems realign somewhat to functional order. His headache disappeared.
"And now for your stubborn bondmate." Astrotrain spread his fingers over a pale faceplate.
The bleary Skyfire managed to open his optics a crack. "I can't stand you."
"Of course, darling." another mysterious smile. Skyfire blinked briefly before sitting against Starscream.
"You...I'm not wrecked anymore."
"No. You might want to pull yourself together, though. Megatron might get ideas." crimson optics glanced down with mischief.
Cursing, Skyfire retracted his pleasure unit. The abused body part would need some recovery time.
"Thank you, Astrotrain." Starscream held his bondmate possessively. "Now back off. We've a couple of hours to dawn, and I wish to rest."
****
The four flew in relative silence to base. Lightening skies hailed the approach of dawn.
"I'm not a slave." Skyfire felt the need to announce as they went along.
"We don't want a slave." Blitzwing retorted. "Unicron take it, you're stubborn beyond belief!"
"A four way relationship? What do I look like, a _landing platform?!_ Go get your kicks with each other!"
Astrotrain flew to his side briefly. "Time is endless, Skyfire. You will come to know there are many satisfying combinations to make one happy."
Starscream finally spoke, faint sunlight gleaming on his sleek nose. "That may be so, but he is still _my_ bondmate. You two took advantage of his confusion. As you did mine, long ago."
"Our embraces were always gentle, were they not?" Blitzwing retorted, firing his thrusters. "You waste time being angry, Starscream. There are larger goals ahead for the future. Or have you lost focus of the plan?"
"Never!" Starscream accelerated a bit.
"Then, consider _all_ your options. Both of you."
Skyfire responded to that. "So you offer something more than partnership."
"We offer the _ultimate_ partnership." Astrotrain chimed in. "Despite our reputations, we don't love lightly or for fun. A few playthings are always game. But when it comes to the _spark,_ we are deadly serious."
The valkryie jet rumbled a sigh. "I just want to get back to the lab."
"We've never forced anyone." Blitzwing continued as they blazed through thin clouds.
"No, you just _compel_ them past the point of control!" Starscream said over the whine of engines. "What's the difference?"
"The difference is we chose you. Think on _that_ the next time you decide to be angry."
"I would trust you a lot more if you'd come clean about your motives."
Astrotrain nearly giggled. "Why Starscream...what kind of decepticons would we _be_ if we did that, hmm?"
"Infernal triplechangers." Skyfire muttered. "Is anything ever what it appears to be?"
"Oh, you love it." Blitzwing spied the base tower a few miles off. "This has been wonderful, but it's back to work now."
"I for one couldn't be happier at the prospect." Starscream groused.
The deep voice rumbled in laughter. "When you need us most, _we will be there!"_ and with a sudden turn Blitzwing banked away, mirrored by Astrotrain.
Skyfire flew to Starscream's side as the triplechangers faded into distance. "I think we made it back in time, Star."
"Yes, everything should be fine."
"I admit I'm out of my depth with those two. And I apologize again for not listening."
The sleek jet began descent to the tower. "Pleasure and power feed the appetites of any decepticon. The conditions were ripe for their influence."
"But is what they've done reversible?"
A pause. "I have no idea. To their credit, they haven't really called on me much the last few centuries."
"But you've tried, right?"
"Every scientific angle turned up empty. And they refuse to withdraw their influence from my spark. Now they've ensnared you also. It's worse now because of our bond."
"Even if they respect our wishes, I don't like this contingency."
"Nor do I, love. But if it doesn't hamper our plans I can live with it. What harm can hot sex do, really?"
Skyfire prepared to land alongside his bondmate. "The control aspect worries me more than the sex."
"They don't want slaves, this much I know. But you're right, I don't like not being in control."
"Maybe through our bond we can neutralize their influence? Instead of going at it separately?"
The red jet hummed. "Or perhaps reverse the situation...yes!"
They transformed to bot mode on the landing platform. Starscream pulled his bondmate down into a kiss.
/You're such a genius. Always thinking!/
Skyfire smiled against the liplock. /I always aim to please you./
****
Skyfire headed to the lab for a bath and recharge. Starscream retreated to his own unit before reporting to Megatron. The early morning cycle on base was relatively quiet.
He waved at the combaticons as they moved along. Footsteps echoing loudly, Skyfire entered the dimmed lab and hit the light control. Breaker was nowhere to be seen.
/He must be off visiting or on assignment./
Skyfire started his silicone bath and tested the temperature. He could barely move, despite managing to fly back. /Star's in pretty much the same shape as I am. Hopefully he can get a quick steam, too./
Long legs edged into the tub. Skyfire sighed, sinking into the hot mixture in relief. /Ah, this is good./ Steaming silicone worked into his joints and panels, easing tension, pain and soreness. He reflected on the last few hours.
/This transition in my mind is too confusing. I don't trust my feelings at all. One minute I want to break their heads for what they've done. And the next...all I want is humping and heat. Maybe the change is finally complete, and I'm just as crazy as the rest of them./
A loud plop between his legs splashed silicone everywhere. In surprise his optics snapped open to see a perfectly gleaming, bobbing sphere floating in the tub with him.
"Breaker!"
"Is so. Morning good, friend Sky!" a beep.
Skyfire wearily rubbed his face. "Uhh. I never even heard you come in."
"Not worry. Breaker quiet, know exhausted."
"Um hmm." Skyfire edged up a little. "So, how was _your_ night?"
The happy sphere turned in the silicone. "Visit old friend Octane. Long talk, catch up. _Tickle sticky!"_
Skyfire laughed. "I should have known."
"Big Sky tickle sticky, too. Enjoy self?"
"It's complicated."
"Not complicated. Learn enjoy pleasure. No questions!"
Skyfire absently poked the minicon, turning him about. "Are you advising me to just go with the flow, then?"
"Much easier. Stop analyze. Blitzwing and Astrotrain, like. Soft spot."
"Maybe so, but I'm not a puppet."
"No puppet need. Triplechangers very old, seen much. Appreciate you."
Skyfire felt an odd pang. "Are you saying they really want us?"
"One bang or many, still same. Still want."
"I found out about their history with Starscream the hard way."
"Hard way good, feel _nice."_
"That wasn't what I meant."
The sphere spinned and bobbed again. "Not matter, context still same!"
"Breaker, is it _always_ about sex with you?"
"Breaker not crude. Just horny."
"I disagree. I think you're both."
A quick beep. "Is so. Not deny. Nor will you."
"Really?"
"Sense hardwire nearly clear. Final resistance last night. Not same next time."
A sigh. "I hardly resisted anything. I couldn't stop myself, and neither could Starscream."
"Astrotrain touch powerful. Seen influence many."
Skyfire sat up suddenly in the broth. "Breaker. You would know. Is there a way to break his touch?"
"Why break?"
_"Why?"_ Skyfire couldn't believe his audios. "I don't want to give up control!"
"Control not goal. Want pleasure, partnership. Said this before!"
"I can't trust them not to try for it at some point. Nor can Starscream!"
"Starscream never puppet. Made choice to be together."
"That was a long time ago under different circumstances!"
"And _still_ not puppet." Breaker insisted. "Too young, not understand."
"Don't give me that. I want Starscream to myself. Free and clear!"
The sphere spun wildly, beeping. "Sky like child! _No_ decepticon relationship ever over, ever free and clear. Will learn over time!"
The big jet stammered. "What...are you saying, that everybody has been with _everyone?"_
"When live long enough, make rounds. Much happens over eons. Relationships change, shift. Starscream first great love, only one know."
"Yes." Skyfire was frowning, his processors catching up.
"Bonds evolve, flow. Cluster fucks everywhere. May be affectionate mind links. Or several bonds in lock."
"That's _crazy!"_
"Not crazy, decepticon way. You young yet, not experienced enough. More than one bond possible. Often harmony if right."
"How can it be possible, Breaker? If there's that special harmony-"
"Can have more than one. You only with Starscream, not know difference yet. But will in time."
"Does my bondmate know this?"
"He know. Panic when touch threatens feelings. Will always love Thundercracker, despite bond. Always is the way."
"I suspected as much. I don't condemn him for that."
"One day, you face same dilemma. Will have love threat."
Skyfire was clearly worried. "Breaker, I have to know. Is Astrotrain that threat?"
The sphere stopped bobbing. "Not yet. Potential there."
"I don't know what to do."
"Nothing do. Just enjoy."
"Starscream would hate me-"
"No. Decepticons love once, love forever. Never change. Can lie or fight. Still love."
Skyfire cradled his friend in both hands. "Remind me to never underestimate you, Breaker."
The sphere beeped, vibrating. "Can have one great love, but always more to get. Not forget."
"I won't. You're speaking from experience, I take it."
"Breaker know much love across eons. _Good stuff!_ Many bonds."
Skyfire smiled a little. "Any of them special?"
"Twelve."
"Anyone I know?"
The sphere rocked in his hands. "Think not. Long before born!"
"No one more recent, then."
"Is four. Three known endless time, one not. Still special, want."
Skyfire cocked his head to the side. "I can guess the three. Who's number four?"
Breaker vibrated, heating white hands. "Silly Sky. _Not know yet?"_
_"Me?"_ Skyfire stammered. "You're serious, aren't you?!"
"Is so. Said before. Know feelings strong. Not love yet, Breaker patient."
Skyfire struggled for words. "You sound like Astrotrain and Blitzwing-"
"Know complexity. Experienced."
Skyfire held his head. "I can imagine. You've probably had more experience than transformers twice your age."
Breaker buzzed. "Nearly none exist. Breaker older than Sky know."
"I...see."
"When say love big Sky, not expression. Breaker serious."
Skyfire impulsively kissed the sphere. "Breaker, I can't promise the future. But I'll tell you I consider you a great friend. The more about you I know, the more amazed I am."
Breaker rocked again, beeping. _"Much glad!_ Not worry, Sky. Patience with age. Breaker both."
Skyfire leaned back into the tub, looking over his friend. "Just how old _are_ you, anyway?"
The sphere was silent a moment. "Know time before first war."
"You mean the golden age of Cybertron?"
"Golden age much later. Ancient time with Quintessons, even before guardians like Omega Supreme."
"Incredible. I've never met anyone who knew of that history in person."
Breaker beeped. "Breaker old, others older still. Not many alive. Time wipe out weak and stupid. Or unlucky."
Blue optics flared in curiosity. "I've learned so much hearing this. My own life experience was stunted by the accident on earth."
"Barely grown when left Cybertron with Starscream."
"Yes, only a century from the Tolstad academy."
"Both very young."
"I had some small experience in exploring, cataloging nearby star systems to Cybertron. I know the legends of the original transformers. Do any of them still exist?"
"Only The Fallen from first twelve. Primus reject, strike down. Fallen killed other eleven. Fled, hides in dimension."
"It would be awesome to meet someone like that. Think of the knowledge and experience they would have!" blue optics blazed wildly in excitement. "A scientific miracle."
"Very close, nearby." Breaker beeped. "Not look far!"
"I don't follow you."
"Said others old too. Even more! Sky still silly, not see obvious."
The big jet was annoyed. "Maybe that's why I don't see it. Who are these ancient transformers?"
Breaker beeped rapidly. "Same ones want. Triplechangers."
"Wait, I know they're old, but-"
"Older than Breaker. Even older than _Soundwave and Constructicons."_
A deep sigh. Skyfire sank into the hot silicone. "They told me on Bardocki 5, but I only halfway listened."
"Triplechangers perfect allies, lovers. Loyal and treacherous, same time."
Skyfire sounded far away. "It seems as if I've underestimated too many around here."
"Youth mistake." Breaker plopped into the silicone again, bobbing. "Triplechangers see most Cyberton history. They _third_ generation! Know Alpha Trion as sparkling."
Skyfire gawked. "Optimus told me Alpha Trion was a second generation transformer!"
"Not true. Many old ones mysterious. Lied about birth time for status. Alpha Trion fourth generation."
"But why would Optimus lie?"
"Optimus only know what told. Eighth generation, was Orion Pacs."
Skyfire shook his head. "Is there anything you _don't_ know, Breaker?"
"Database rival autobots Rewind and gestalt Computron. Life experience incalculable."
Skyfire twirled a finger over the bobbing sphere, pushing it down momentarily. "Breaker, my scientific curiosity is killing me here. How the hell are you _floating?_ Even in silicone your density is far too great for that."
A quick spin by the sphere. "Easy to talk, float. If sink not talk."
"Yes, but explain why."
"Can alter density."
"What about mass?"
"Not mass. Increase density, factor 10."
Skyfire had to smile. "Can you give me a demonstration?"
"Is easy." Breaker immediately sank like a stone. He bobbed up seconds later.
"That was normal density, I take it."
"Is so. Full density, crash through everything."
