suuuuuper messy thing for a new au :3
okok hear me out on this. in some kind of g1-adjacent universe, the ark starts burning up and breaking into pieces in earth's atmosphere, leading to autobots and decepticons alike flying out of the ship and crashlanding in little pockets all across the americas. they're all separated, and without long-range comms or teletraan-1, they can't communicate.
enter jazz and prowl. they wound up crashing together into the forests in new hampshire, with no other bot or con in sight for miles and miles. all they've got is a last transmission from optimus prime- a message calling to all surviving autobots to come to the west coast, where the ark's remains crashed. jazz and prowl team up and decide to head over there together, though not without some bumps along the way. cue silly road trip montage where jazz collects bumper stickers from virtually every stop they make
