''Eugenesis'' is a Franchise/{{Transformers}} fanfic written by James Roberts. Yes, [[ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye ''that'' James Roberts]].
It is the year 2012, and the war between the Autobots and Decepticons is at a standstill, both sides poised for a big push. But outside the plotting and schemes of the Cybertronian forces, there are others with their own dark designs for the children of Primus, as elements of the Transformers' past long since forgotten return for their revenge.
One of the most well-known Transformers fan-fics out there, Eugenesis is a much darker and more cerebral view of everyone's favourite robots in disguise, and also [[{{Doorstopper}} very, very long]]. It's also not for the feint of heart, with some very grim and graphic sequences, but it isn't a mindless gore-fest. It... well, it might just be best to read the thing itself.
!!This Franchise/{{Transformers}} fanfic contains examples of:
* DarkerAndEdgier: Oh Gods, yes. Far darker than any official Transformers media, and much darker than [[ComicBook/TheTransformers the stories it's a continuation of]].
* {{Doorstopper}}: Two-hundred and eighty two pages long, on a PDF format.
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Prowl.]]
* KilledOffForReal: Several big name characters on both sides perish during this story.
* LossOfIdentity: [[spoiler:Part of the Quintesson's plan for crushing Cybertronian rebellion.]]
