The Universe of the Transformers is vast, and populated by many characters. Their universe is a large tapestry, made up of the stories and points of view of countless experiences that serve the larger whole. These are some of those stories. This is: It should be noted that while this project has been recognized by IDW Publishing and Hasbro, none of the works presented have been commissioned or solicited by either company. The stories are not official canon, except where noted. These stories are the result of Transformers enthusiasts taking the time out of their busy days to contribute to a universe they love. No one has been paid for the production of these stories.

I dig the writing, good art as well. One thing confuses me though. Is this supposed to take place during season 3 of the G1 cartoon? Neither the Autobots nor Decepticons cannot possibly know about Paradron at this point. And, after the battle on Paradron when they meet Sandstorm , the planet is destroyed. Or is this right after Sandstorm is captured? Of course this can also be an alternate reality
Or Swindle could be using 'Paradron' in the same way that humans use 'Atlantis'. Or there might be a different planet called Paradron. Sector 7 might even be a region of space rather than a planetary surface area, in which case Swindle would be pointing them to "The Paradron which is in Sector 7, as opposed to the other Paradrons in other sectors." I like the art and designs. I'm not sure about Blades and Air Raid's personalities here - particularly within the likely-to-be-monitored halls of Metroplex, are they likely to do something like this? It seems more likely to be part of a longer-running gambit - get Swindle thinking that they just want the details of the base and are willing to act extremely un-Autobot-like to get it, then take him offline but arrange for the Decepticons to 'accidentally' find him and revive him, whereapon Swindle gives them information he overheard from Autobots who thought he would never be able to talk... but the information is planted, leading to a later Autobot victory somewhere. Or Swindle is revived by a Junkion some weeks later at a distant location, and thinks he has to hurry to prevent an Autobot plan of some kind, but things have been rigged so that his likely actions under pressure actually benefit the Autobots' longer-range gambits. I can see Prowl's hand in this, even if it's post-Movie and it's just a result of Jazz working off Prowl's contingency notes.
