"The Primeval Dungeon" - G1 cartoon timeline prose story (four chapters)
 

I had previously shared this work on my SHOC FB page when I originally wrote it in June 2020, but FB eliminated its Notes feature about a year ago. So I've posted it to a new digital home on my AO3, so it'll be easy to access again.

Premise: As the Autobots are on the verge of losing Cybertron, Grimlock challenges Shockwave to a duel. Will Shockwave accept, and will a Decepticon experiment affect the outcome?
