Chopshop in TF Fanfics
Insecticons rarely gain fanfic appearances and
Deluxe Insecticons such as Chopshop never appeared in the
comic or cartoon. Their only official portrayals were within
the tech specs that came with their toys. However, unlike
most other Deluxe Insecticons, this thief is blessed with a
creative tech spec. Such a rare piece of writing has inspired
some rather unforgetable moments, especially for a character
who is virtually invisable to the official cannon.
Fanfics w/ him as a Main Character
Insecticons parts 1-6 (done) by Harith Jameel Alkhafiz

- As far as I know, this is the oldest a.t.t. Fanfic to have Chopshop in
it. Quite a few times I've considered adding it to my book of favorite
dramatic fanfics, because this story went to great lengths to change
my image of 'Chopshop, one of 4 Deluxe Insecticons' into 'Chopshop, the
thief and individual.'
Rise of the Morning Star parts 16-29 (He appears in most of those
parts. Incomplete) by ZacWilliam
(I don't know if this is on a web page, but it was posted to a.t.t.f.)
- This also gives Chopshop a chance to be a main character as a
carefully-weaved crisis explodes on Cybertron. Normally, when a
character doesn't show up in all the parts, I don't call him a main
character in the story, but in this case, he *is* a main character.
He plays a very major role in the story and taking him out would
leave a gaping hole.
Other Major Appearances and Significant Cameos
- To be blunt, those two stories are the only ones I know of where
even his name is mentioned.
