Summary
The war is over, and the Autobots won. Megatron has been cured of his dark energon contamination.
Optimus didn't want anybody else hurt, so there are no death sentences. The Decepticons are in a cross between a prison system and a rehabilitation system, an attempt at getting everyone to get along. The more dangerous Decepticons are restrained in some way or another, and most are living with chosen Autobots. Some are doing fairly well, Breakdown for example. Some don't like the situation and are trying to fight, but they can't do much. And it's harder to fight a foe who isn't hurting you.
Megatron and Optimus are attempting to collaborate with repairs. It's working fairly well, since they both have a fair amount of respect for each other.
In all the confusion, though, Soundwave went missing. Turns out there were some mechs who wanted their revenge... and they got what they wanted.
Soundwave, helpless and restrained.
And there's only so much a mech can take before something snaps.
HEED THE TAGS. Bad things have happened and will be happening.
Chapter 7 is particularly nasty. You can skip it if needed, it's entirely made up of a very intense flashback. It just helps explain.
