Note: I grew up with the original cartoon series. I loved it, still do. I liked Beast Wars, but nothing else after that, tv wise. This is a reboot, and a changeup using the original characters. Some characters are going to be cut, because there are just too many to keep up with in this format.
I really liked what Beast Wars did for the TF Universe. I liked the spark and how they were in a protoform before they got their form. They also introduced the concept of sexual interactions and lineage (Rattrap said “What in the name of my Great Aunt Arcee is going on here?”) I wanted to put purpose to females, explore more with the protoforms & sparks, and reproduction.

Prologue
Wheeljack was alone, looking through the Ark computer room. He would remove panels to check the severity of the damage to the systems. The crash had left several systems beyond repair and they needed to be replaced. He just hoped that they will be able to find the materials needed to do so. He got down on the floor to open the access hatch under Teletran only to have an arm flop out. He paused. All Autobots have been accounted for.
Getting down lower so that he could get a better view he felt his spark pulse when he saw the rest of the body that the arm was attached to. “A female?” he asked no one. He pulled her free and laid her on the ground then slid open her front plate. He could see the glow of her spark, “You’re still alive.”
Like the rest, she was in stasis mode. They had crash landed on a strange organic planet and went off line for an unknown number of cycles, when Decepticons had attacked. A seismic event brought enough systems back online to revive some from each team.
The Decepticons took as many of their kind as they could and sadly this included their leader Megatron. The rest were kept in stasis and locked away. The Autobots who survived were revived with the loss of only a few. Now they wait and repair what they can while they try to figure out where they were and what they were going to do next.
The female was small and a beautiful pink pearl color that reflected a gentle rainbow of colors as the light struck her. At closer inspection, Wheeljack could not find an insignia. No insignia, no alliance. She was a civilian. There were few civilians left. Most had joined the war on one side or the other, or fled Cyberton in hopes of finding peace. None were female.
His spark surged in his chest cavity as the realization struck him. If she was not a soldier then she was not a Transformer because only the females who chose to fight could transform. He had to be sure. First he looked around to make sure he was alone then slid open more plates working his way down her chest and abdomen. With each new section he confirmed what he believed.
She was an entertainer. Her kind used to work in the pleasure district on Cyberton. They ran spas that the elite, workers, and soldiers would go to after a hard day. Hot oil baths would soothe aching gears while the females used small instruments to clean tiny crevices of debris. Sometimes, if a bot was lucky, she would use her circuits to connect to the male’s and send pleasure through him and on occasion their sparks would meet eliciting the ultimate pleasure. His hands shook as he continued to look. He had never seen one before, only hearing stories from the older males that lived back before the war. He had known female soldiers but they weren’t the same.
When the war started some of the females took up arms and had their circuits changed so that they could transform. As new bots were born they would all choose one side or another. The entertainer females became more and more rare until one day they disappeared altogether.
The females that were soldiers could still be connected to and pleasure could be shared between male and female, but, from what Wheeljack was told, it was nothing like what one could experience with a ‘true female’. The soldier females hated that term, ‘true female’, and looked down on the ones that had remained entertainers.
Some of her circuits looked damaged and he wasn’t sure if it was from the crash or if somebot had done it to her. He closed her back up and lifted her up. If she was going to be revived then she would need to see Ratchet.
