G1: Maximal Traces

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

I have never seen much in the way of fics that take on the issue of the Maximal residency in the Ark, and what the Autobots would make of it after they wake up in 1984.

Even the best job at cleaning up may leave traces, even if the only traces left is a data trail in Teletraan - they did, after all, need to wake up the computer to help fix up Optimus Prime after Pred!Megatron tried to kill him.

I would love to see someone in the Ark crew uncovering traces of the Maximals and, given that the Maximals did try to clean up, becoming a sort-of detective trying to find out what the hell this stuff he's finding means.

Extra kudos if it includes Optimus knowing far more than he lets on (after all, his spark got temporarily transfered into Primal, for it's protection).
