Jazz/Prowl

Jazz/Prowl

The Autobots' free-wheeling special ops bot who loves Earth culture and the logic-driven tactician with a literal battle computer are fandom's classic opposites pairing, cemented through decades of G1 fic and IDW's morally fraught Prowl. Jazz improvises, Prowl calculates, and together they cover each other's blind spots. The ship is a cornerstone of older Transformers fandom.

Sunk Cost Fallacy

by Sunset_Mountain_Lion

It turns out that being wired into giant war machines doesn’t play nice with human brains. The Earth Mechanical Defense Force, or EMDF, learned that the hard way when their pilots started going… neurotic, let’s say, after a few missions. The obvious solution to that problem was to simply wire the pi

Nothing Goes As Planned

by Centrifuge_CybertronianBiologist

This was spurred on by my other Jazz and Prowl centered fic "Two Sides of the Coin", though it is not necessary to have read it for this one. There are a few references, but not detrimental.
