This is a very good story so far, and I'd go so far as to say it's your best work yet. I like how you've left this new universe open to be explored by any author, even though it hasn't really been exploited yet. The main prototypes/insanity storyline that you have going right now has been for the most part excellent. I really like how you've managed to build this universe. It's fun to watch as the droids begin to develop their own independent personalities, often unique from the transformer they've been modeled after. It's also heart-wrenching to watch Scream suffer at the hands of his abusive owner Angie, who herself is a rather ironic character in that she's become as much of a monster as her abusive father was.

What has intrigued me the most about this story, however, are the political ramifications that are sure to come about in this universe because of this. Since the "pleasure" droids being produced by Tim's corporation are fully sentient beings, the issue of allowing them to be owned as property raises the question of whether they should be allowed civil rights like human beings are afforded, since at present they're pretty much slaves to whoever owns them. This would be a threat to Tim's interests, since any civil rights for droids would put him in the same category as human traffickers, and would thus make his business illegal. This would be against the interests of the Decepticons, and I can imagine the Autobots would side with rights for them considering that Optimus Prime's motto is "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings".

Until this is resolved, though, it doesn't look like Scream's pain will end any time soon. Even if Sharon/Daniel discover the abuse, they'd be powerless to protect him from Angie since under existing laws Scream's her property. I'm looking forward to see how you deal with this little dilemma in the story, and hope you update soon.

I love this arc. I really do. Concentrate on this one. Help Scream.

I was planning on pointing out that there are no laws to protect the clones from abuse, because they're made to be tools and sex toys. You might as well accuse somebody of abusing a vibrator.

Kekekeke!

Yes I so am going to go into the "How sentient and what rights do they have," dealie. X3 Remember, mines kinda an alternate future in TFA universe so yeah.... things might be different. Sparks and no sparks will be a strong issue. Everyone in what happened in my alternate future's past better hoped they were nice to their clones...... X3 Working on part 2 right now while working on Glitch chap six at the same time. X-x Yep, I multitask.

Yes, sparks will be explained more as I go on. The bots were not created with the intent of having sparks. Your theory is pretty close in some respects. Its something that happened later on.... It will be explained! :D

Don't worry about the Skywarp thing! XD As you can see he acts nothing like TFA Skywarp. And I do plan to clear up back history to what is going on. One of the first paragraphs of part 2 I already have typed up explains the team's job and what the Earth is going through at the moment. X3 First chapter was meant to be a bit vague. I notice I start a lot of my stories like that. X-x;;;;

Oh, YES! I just KNEW you'd fire up the guts to have people mistreat the clones.I had a mistreatment idea myself a while ago. Because not everybody will be able to BUY the clones... there will definitely be some android brothels springing up. And designed for sex they may have been (hell, so are humans) but not all of these clones will enjoy being fucked by a different human every night.

Give me a few days, and I'll have a chapter ready.

**Insanity PT 1**

I assumed some clones would be abused. XD Nice job~ Poor Screamclone! I like where this is going though~


In reply to Skywarp being able to warp, I would think all their combat abilities are currently dormant. I thought either when Megs was supposed to activate the sleeper program (which was what Shanon took out) or a series of hacks are the only way to activate weapons/combat abilities. Am I right to assume this?

**To Feel Human pt 3**

OMG, this was awesome! I loved how they helped everybody in the accident. Changing to a News point of view was awesome too. So they have their weapons systems already. Interestingggg. Now I have to do research on some TFA Deceptions. X3 Sounds like Autobot clones are coming soon? :D

Review for Insanity Part 1:

Honestly, I wasn't sure whether or not there would clones made of Megatron. Personally, I could totally see him having sex clones of every Decepticon other than himself, because human scum are not allowed to touch even a clone of him. xD Lol. But I'm glad you decided to use him.

Sometimes I like Starscream and sometimes I don't but this chapter certainly made me feel for the poor guy. Megsy is such a bitch. ...And now I want someone else to do a Megatron clone and name him Meg. Or Megan. xD

Still, I liked this chapter and I think you have an interesting idea going for this story arc. In reality, most humans would probably abuse their droids. Not necessarily by physically arming them but by simply using them for nothing but sex and chores and not intellectually and emotionally stimulating them.

I like how you made all the characters act in this, even Megatron and all his bitchiness. Scratch that; especially Megatron and all his bitchiness. I love how even a clone of him feels like he has to be top dog. makes me wonder if a clone of Starscream would get jealous and try to find ways to get Megatron's position of power he holds in this little group. :D Mwahaha.

Review for To Feel Human Part 3:

No Daniel and Speed sex; I was wrong. But pleasantly surprised. One again, you've made even more shocking developments about the clones.

It's sort of dangerous that a company plans on selling droids with weaponry. Of course, if it's a part of the Decepticons original plot then they might be unaware. Still, if other droid owners find out this knowledge they might be tempted to take advantage of it. Hmm...

And I love the ending of this chapter. Now that the Decepticons are being seen as good would that mean that people will start to see the Autobots as bad for getting in the Decepticons' way?

Just as an added note, even though I'm progressively working on my first submission, I won't be able to get it submitted probably for a week or two. College finals are kind of keeping me busy. Honestly, even if I didn't have to do that it would probably still take me a week. I have no idea how you manage to update so often StSE, but I'm loving it. I honestly think that this is your best work you've posted here. It's easy to tell that you actually enjoy what you're writing and that really adds to its greatness.

Also, experience is sexy. Personally, that's why I prefer older men; they know what they're doing and they're not as idiotic and immature as guys my age. ;3

I really liked your story it is a very interesting idea. But why did you have to go and ruin it with chapter nine I mean it was well writen but what you wrote is pretty much a dime a dozen and they are all the same. Give people time to write stuff too, you would have got a chapter about Megatron from me and you still will eventualy. This is a lot harder to write then you think it is. So not being mean just wanted to say that.
