Very interesting indeed.

A few lines I particularly liked:

as if his captor gave the weapons the respect he no longer accorded to their wielder

and:

But a Decepticon's weapon was part of him. And if he loved it enough --

"Don't -- touch -- those," Drift ground out.

I really like Drift's internal monologue concerning the contrast between Autobot and Decepticon weapons. Also, that first section there - it has a gorgeous rythm to the prose, very nicely done indeed :D
