A sonic shockwave erupted in space, An alien ship returning to it’s home world.

Cybertron.

A smaller vessel departed from the lower hull of the alien ship and entered orbit heading for the landscape and one of the many techno-cities built on the surface.
The smaller craft landed and transformed revealing the lone traveler, Starscream. He looked about as other Transformers like him stared at his arrival.

“At last, I Starscream have returned my loyal followers!”.

Many of the on lookers blinked their optics and turned away some even snickering.

“Where is Shockwave?” Starscream shouted, looking at the mass of departing Decepticons. “I personally left him in charge!”.

One of the many spoke, “He was dethroned”.

“A true Leader wouldn’t have left us to suffer on this rust ball” another spoke.

“ENOUGH!” Starscream shouted, "While the quest I led to find the Alspark failed because of the destruction of our great leader Megatron, I vow to find a even more powerful energy source!”

“Now Starscream” A sinister voice spoke as a laser blast slammed the returning Decepticon to the ground.

“You know you shouldn’t make promises to us you can’t possibly hope to keep”.

“Thundercracker…How dare you!” Starscream Growled as he leaped to his feet only to be knocked back down by a sneaky Skywarp.

“Stay on the ground Starscream, It’s where slime like you belong!” Thundercracker mocked.

“Where is the rest of your loyal crew Starscheme?” Skywarp hissed.

“Deactivated by the massive Autobot strike force on a water logged planet in the Sol system”

Both interrogators laughed, “A Massive Autobot strike force you say?”.

“YES!” Starscream spoke excitedly, “They also worked with the inhabitants of the planet, Armored Fleshlings!”

Both Thundercracker and Skywarp erupted in laughter.

You were defeated…By FLESHLINGS?” Thundercracker smirked.

“Armored fleshlings!” Skywarp corrected.

“Say what you will, I don’t care you were not there. I only managed to escape with my skid plates intact after Optimus Prime Destroyed our leader Megatron”.

“Optimus Prime you say?” Thundercracker took on a more solemn tone.

“Yes, Optimus Prime” Starscream groveled beginning to pick himself up.

“Soundwave’s gonna love this” Skywarp sighed.

“Of course the reappearance of a delusional Starscream is sure to make his stellar cycle…” Thundercracker laughed as his blaster barrel slammed into Starscream’s back, “Let’s go I’m sure Soundwave will love seeing you again”.

Oooohhhh I like where this is going Rod can't wait for more :hat:

I voted 'throw him in the pit'

Now I'll read it. :sharky:

not bad. It would be interesting to see where you go with it.

oh, and grammar correction:

He 'vowel's to do it? Is that an a, e, i, o, or u? You want 'I vow to find...'
:lol:

:P eh I clicked the wrong Vowel or Vow yada yada yada :nuts:

CHAPTER 2

Stumbling to the ground Starscream looked upward at the de-facto leader of the Decepticons.

“Ah Soundwave my comrade, How nice of you to keep my affairs in order” Starscream smirked as he again stood to his feet, “During my trying absence”.

“Micro modulate your vocal processor” Soundwave spoke, “Why have you returned without our leader, Or the Alspark?”.

“Megatron was destroyed by Optimus Prime as well as the rest of the crew I brought with me!” Starscream spoke.

“Negative!”, Soundwave growled. “The Nemesis’s sensors detected Barricade, Bonecrusher and Scorponok on the surface of the planet you went to!”

“Impossible…” Starscream stuttered, "Barricade and Scorponok I can't vouch for but Optimus Prime deactivated Bonecrusher!"

“Remove him” Soundwave grunted.

One of the surrounding Decepticon’s shadow eclipsed Starscream as he stood over him.

“Onslaught?” Starscream asked as he was grabbed and thrown half way across the citadel’s main chamber.

“You will pay for the loss of our brother, Brawl!”

Starscream grunted as Onslaught tore parts off his exo-skeleton, before tossing him out of the citadel’s court yard.

His damaged body rolling to a stop Starscream struggled to upright himself once again as a system’s crash over took him.


In the distance another shadowed form stood watch over Starscream’s resting place.

“Heh, That had to hurt, Poor loser”.







Earth.



Ratchet sorted through the influx of communications the Autobots had received since Optimus Prime had sent out the summons.
During that time they had brought the Ark to Earth establishing their base on Earth.
Sam and Bumblebee went to someplace called “New York” While Sam attended a place called college.

Mikaela on the other hand took up residence with her father that the American government recently released from imprisonment.

Ratchet marveled at his new gloss coat of paint, looking more like a emergency vehicle that actually fit in around these parts.

Ironhide stalked in grumbling over one of his arm cannons as a puff of smoke trailed upwards from the barrel.
“Slaggin power feed got fragged again”.

“You do have to let it cool down between repeater loads”, Ratchet grunted.

“That’s not any fun…” Ironhide trailed off.

“Ratchet?”.

“Yes Optimus?”.

“Is the holographic transmitter online?”.

Ratchet looked over the display to his right tapped in a command, “All systems are running at peak levels… Were hidden under the dormant volcano simulation”.

“Good, because it looks like someone is searching for something out here and I’d rather it not be us they find” Optimus replied.
“Don’t worry they won’t, Who ever they are” Ratchet spoke assuringly.

“I can go take them out!” Ironhide offered.

Ratchet shook his head negatively, You need your processors checked.

“What?” Ironhide grunted, “It’s not completely a bad idea”.

“Sometimes I wonder who’s dumber…You or a Dinobot?”, Ratchet chuckled.

“I’ve got more firepower”.

“Primus save me…”.

Heh this is getting really good Rod can't wait for the next the installment of the story. Very interesting keep up the awesome work! :thumb:

Chapter 3

New York City.


“Sitting in traffic is not my idea of fun!” Bumblebee spoke.

“Nether is it mine…” Sam replied as he looked around, “I always heard stories about how bad it was out here, but I never expected this many taxies!”.

“Well we are quite a bit a way’s from your destination… New York University Sam”.

“I know Bumblebee” Sam replied looking out the window to a street sign, displaying 28th street. Exasperated he picked up his acceptance letter, “I still can’t believe I got excepted to go here, It’s such a long way from home.

“And I believe as your father put it” A static sound busted over the mic, “Of all the places you could have gone too…. New York?”.

Sam went wide eyed at the sound of his father’s voice coming from Bumblebee’s audio mic.

“Funny…”.

“It looks like the traffic is starting to break up some” Bumblebee spoke.

“Then lets go before someone slips past us!”

Bumblebee started turning out of the current lane as another taxi rushed into the open spot.

“So much for that thought…” Sam grumbled slapping his hands together.

“Sorry Sam, Next time I will just go”.

Sam smirked as he pushed on the radio.

“I need the news… Something to tell me what’s going on!” Sam spoke.

“Scanning the local frequencies now” Bumblebee replied.

“…. A pile up on the FDR is forcing traffic onto the local streets, Avoid Houston, Broadway, and La Guardia Place…”.

“Great… The direction we needed to go in…”, Sam growled.

“I’ll find another route”.

“No we might as well pull over so I can get something to eat” Sam replied.

“I can display a list of eateries in the general vicinity” Bumblebee replied, “There’s a Chinese place on the corner”.

“Not unless you want the interior smelling like ass”. Sam warned

“Deleting Chinese restaurants from database!”.

“Wise choice” Sam laughed.

“Also deleting all fast food categories”.

“No wait!… Dam”.

“Sorry, But preservation of my interior comes first!”

“Bastard…” Sam said in faux shock.

The sound of car horns woke Sam up as Bumblebee began rolling forward, “Were moving?” Sam asked.

“Yes” Bumblebee replied.

“Good… good”.

Shortly there after Bumblebee pulled into the parking lot of the University as Sam looked around at the main hall of the campus he stared in awe.

“This place is huge…”.

Sam opened the door and stepped out of Bumblebee.

“Shall I accompany you?”.

“No, Your draw too much attention. Stay here and act like a normal car”

Sam turned as he heard laughter from a distance, and saw two girls pointing and laughing one even mouthing He‘s talking to his car! The other replied, What a loser!.

“Great…” He sighed, “They’re all going to think I’m a nutcase…”
He reached in grabbing his acceptance letter and backpack.

“Keep a low profile, don’t do or say anything!”.

Sam shut the door and stood up fixing his shirt and tossing his backpack over his shoulder and walked away heading for the campus proper.

With in an hour he returned to Bumblebee opening the door and sliding into the driver’s seat tossing his backpack to the passenger side.

“Well I have my dorm assignment”. Sam spoke aloud.

Silence.

“Bumblebee you can talk now” Sam spoke.

“Sorry I didn’t know if I was able too” Bumblebee replied.

Sam sighed, “The only problem is my dormitory is far off from the parking lot so I’ll have to come to you when I go out instead of you picking me up”.

“Ok” Bumblebee replied.

“Although there ain’t really to many open roads to drive around Manhattan, Which means you may be stuck in the parking lot from time to time…”.

“Understood, Let’s go get you settled in to your dorm Sam”.


Nodding Sam turned the key and put Bumblebee into reverse pulling out of the parking spot and out of the parking lot.

Well I know the lot of you here have read this sofar, so What do you think?

I have 4 more chapters writen and im working on one now, I promise you'll like what I have in store I also find it funny that I wrote a character in that nobody would have thought would be in this untill said character was mentioned officially by Michael Bay himself late last week. So my fanfic's character inclusion pre-dates his anouncement by 3-4 days. :nuts:

Chapter 4

Las Vegas.



Mikaela walked out onto the porch of her home her father sitting off to the side in a old deck chair.

“Hi Dad” She spoke as not to startle him.

“Hey baby, Where are you off to?” He asked a look of concern on his face.

“Going to see some friends, I’ll be back later” She smiled as she walked off the porch and startled her recently acquired motorcycle.

“Be safe on that thing!” He called after her.

“I will” She smiled as she placed the helmet over her head and back peddled the bike off the front lawn and took off down the street.

The black motorcycle with pink accents and it’s rider roared down the street before it spoke over the helmet’s built in mic.

“Don’t worry dear, Your father will be ok”.

“Thanks Arcee, I know… But, Old habits die hard”.

Arcee, A recent member of the Earth Autobot team came about when Ratchet found the Autobot spark less as Optimus Prime put it, Mikaela was there when Optimus opened his chest plates and shot a beam of light at the wildly flaring Autobot sending it back into it’s vehicle mode then transforming again.
Arcee like many of the spark less drones as they were called were created by the Alspark. Megatron corrupted most of the drones prior to his destruction but they too were all destroyed during the last minutes of the battle for the Alspark.
Somehow Arcee escaped the destruction And was found by Ratchet who implored it upon Optimus to give the Autobot a Spark with a item called “The Matrix” an item given to each Autobot that becomes leader of the Autobots.

During the ride to the Autobot base Mikaela filled in Arcee on her unexpected turn in her personal life ever sense meeting Sam at John Marshall high school, The first Autobot battle, Gradulation, and Sam’s departure to New York city.

Mikaela wanted to go with him to school in New York but she couldn’t gather enough money to pay for a semester let alone the travel expenses.
Mikaela knew Sam vowed to return as soon as he could, during breaks. But it would be sometime before his first semester’s break.

They entered the holographic field protecting the massive Autobot ship, The Ark. And into it’s open entrance bay.
Mikaela dismounted allowing Arcee to transform as her vehicle mode parts shifted and remolded themselves into the slender Body that made up Arcee’s robot mode. She stood slightly taller then Mikaela but not as tall as Bumblebee but maybe slightly shorter then Jazz had been she thought.

“Let’s go say hi to the boys” Mikaela smiled.

“Lead the way” Arcee replied.

They walked into the command deck which had become a frenzied scene of chaos.
Ratchet’s armored hands scrambled over the console he sat in front of shouting out positions from the sensor board.

Optimus stomped into the room and looked over Ratchet’s shoulder, “Any identification on our visitor?”.

“Negative but he’s coming in hot” Ratchet replied as he scaned the board.

“What’s going on?” Mikaela asked.

Ironhide grumbled, “We got company but they won’t let me warm up the mega cannons”.

Arcee smirked “Bots and their toys”.

“Yeah” Mikaela nodded, “Tell me about it”.

“Ratchet what does the scanners say?” Optimus Prime asked, “Is it hostile?”.

“I don’t know but It’s not a earth vehicle in origin”.

“Cybertronian?” Optimus asked.

“More then Likely…” Ratchet grunted.

The beat up pick up truck appeared on the main screen belching black smoke from it’s exhaust a faded blue with rust spots and bondo work the front bumper bouncing loosely as it continued to approach stopping just outside the holographic shield.

“Hey!” The speakers erupted, Are you gonna let me in?”

“Kup?” Ironhide grunted.

Optimus turned to him his optics adjusting to glare at Ironhide, “Kup?”.

“Yeah” The speaker boomed, “Are you hard of hearing?. I might be an old bot but I still have the sharpest audio facalties this side of Tarvan 8”.

Optimus turned to Ratchet, “Let him in”.

“Great” Ironhide grunted, “Another stow away…”.

Mikaela looked up at Arcee and shrugged.


The Beat up Pick up drove into the hanger bay and begain to transform, the loud grating sound of rusted servos and gears sliding into place and reconfiguring parts screeching into place echoed in the hanger bay. The sound was loud enough that Mikaela stuck her index fingers into her ears to block out the sound.

Finally Kup stood up slightly hunched over, “I hope you got some lubricants laying around I need some lubing in a bad way“. Kup wheezed.

A puff of black smoke trailed out from behind Kup as he begun to wave his hand in front of his face, “Whooo… Someone needs to change their oil”.

Mikeala laughed as Arcee shook her head in shame.

Not bad. Yer weak spot is writing for the girls though ;) I like the story so far. You emulating and following along the general pre-script idea that went around?

What do you mean writing for the girls? There is no slash so far. :P

I'm enjoying it, I hope to read some more soon.

Well since Mikaela is the Hot slient type im trying to emulate her character as it would be the second time around she's starting to trust more, and begining to open up some, plus having to deal with the dramatic change her life has gone through in a year's time since the battle for the alspark.

Yea im sort of following the pre-script but adding some of my own ideas to it


And Prisma, I wouldn't be suprised if Arcee had a piston action attachment imbeded in her seat for Mikaela's Happy time :P

So, does that means new material for the RLD?
:slurp:

Well since I've never done a Slash before idk...

Chapter 5

Cybertron.





The battered form of Starscream was carried into the chambers of Shockwave’s hidden base.

Shockwave’s mono optic blinked slowly, “Does he still function?”.

“Barely my liege”.

“Bring him to the C.R. Chamber, Once he is functional return him here”
Shockwave turned, “He possesses critical data we need”.

“My liege!” a second Decepticon cried, “Soundwave has assembled the Constructicons at the Citadel!”

“Interesting” Shockwave spoke, “Prepare our defenses, bring the Automated Sentinels online. We will not be caught off guard!”.




The five assembled Constructicons stood in front of Soundwave, Each one recalled from the projects they headed up around Cybertron and it’s orbital space yards.

“Constructicons will unite as one” Soundwave spoke.

“Unite?”, The first Constructicon, Scavenger Spoke.

“Affirmative” Soundwave replied crypticly.

“Explain yourself!” Hook demanded, “The art of combination was lost eons ago”.

“Discovered it has been!”.

“Impossible, You don’t have the power to achieve that lofty goal” Mix master laughed, “I’m returning to my work in Iacon city. Summon me when you actually have a real plan in mind”.

“Bonecrusher’s not even here to be apart of this, He went to the Planet Starscream Identified as Earth. Where he lost in battle To Optimus Prime” Long haul barked.

“I will show you” Soundwave replied mid transformation converting to his vehicle mode, the large transmitter dish fired a beam of intense energy at the five Constructicons their bodies glowing a purple hue.

Soundwave transformed again, “Proof has been given”.

Scrapper growled stepping forward only to be held back by his brethren, “What proof you idiotic fool? You shot us with some energy beam that barely tickled my power cells. There’s no proof in you claim”.

“You will find out when we reach Earth”, Soundwave replied and strolled away returning into the Citadel.




“He’s insane, We dethroned Shockwave for this?” Scrapper grunted.

“More to the point… He said were going to Earth!” Longhaul grunted displeased.

“We bide our time, And with Luck we can rejoin Starscream’s group”. Hook spoke

The other four Constructicons looked him over.

“Soundwave’s plan is the only way to get for us to get to Earth first and recover Bonecrusher” Scavenger offered, “We do as Hook as said, We bide our time”.




Onslaught stood before Soundwave, “I wish to go to Earth with your attack force”.

“Revenge will be dealt out in due time”, Soundwave spoke.

“If were not going to Avenge Megatron’s destruction, Then what are we going to this planet Earth for?”.

“Megatron’s resurrection” Soundwave replied turning his back to the former.

Onslaught’s optics went wide with shock, “Resurrect Megatron, But how?”.

“We will find a new power source and rob Optimus Prime of the Matrix and the resurrection will be complete”.

Soundwave left the throne room and Onslaught to his questions, Swindle approached Onslaught “Can he really do that boss?”.

“I don’t know” Onslaught admitted.

“Could he resurrect Brawl as well?”, Swindle asked.

“I doubt that’s on his list of priorities--”.

“Then Onslaught”, Vortex spoke aloud with Blastoff trailing behind, “We make it his priority!”.

* * *

Starscream stood from the C.R. Chamber the first face he did not expect to see made him pause, “Shockwave?”.

“Yes Starscream, Welcome back!”.

“It wasn’t a welcomed greeting I received” Starscream replied, “What has happened here, I thought you were capable of being in charge during my absence?”

“Soundwave challenged your leadership and your commands, He gathered the Decepticons that were still completely loyal to Megatron and declared a mutiny”.

“Then the traitors to My reign will be dealt with!” Starscream growled, “Assemble those still loyal to our cause. We will return to Earth to Find a more powerful energy source. With it we can we charge Cybertron’s core and reign dominant over this galax- No the universe!”.

Starscream stood observing Shockwave then decided that a full plan needed to be formulated, “Leave me!”.

“As you command” Shockwave bowed and exited the chamber.

I care not for reviving Cybertron, As far as I’m concerned I don’t care what planet we go to as long as He can wipe them all out. Megatron, Optimus and his followers, and any disloyal Decepticons that I deem useless. To the pit with them all and he’ll make sure that’s were they’ll stay!.

“But once we get to earth I must destroy What ever power source remains and the Matrix along with it, Once that’s done there will be no one to stop him”.

Starscream turned and exited the chamber himself, Watching him go another set of eyes blinked in confusion.

I gotta warn Optimus!.

The Shadowed form stepped out from the concealing darkness and exited the chamber avoiding any Decepticons along the way as he made his way outside and transformed rocketing towards the sky.

“Earth here I come!”.

CHAPTER 6

“It was nice of Starscream to leave the Nemesis in orbit for us to go conquer the planet he was defeated on” Skywarp snickered.

“Silence” Soundwave spoke, “The Nemesis is a Decepticon warship, Not Starscream’s”.

“According to the Sensor log of the planet Earth, Before Starscream’s departure, There is indeed another Alspark type energy source on the surface” Hook reported.

“Then it will be ours!” Soundwave answered, “Set course for Earth”.

Hook nodded as he imputed the course the Nemesis rumbling as it moved forward it’s powerful engines sending it forward as it passed the extra orbital satellites and Moons of Cybertron.

A warp field opened and the Nemesis entered disappearing into the great void beyond.



Behind the warship’s wake a smaller vessel followed the course entering into the warp field as well, It’s lone occupant pushing his small ships engines to the max.

“I hope I can slingshot ahead of the Decepticons and get to the planet Earth before they do, If not I’m going to have to send them a message and hopefully warn them before it’s too late”.

He turned to the communications board and activated the recording system, “Attention Optimus Prime. Hot Rod reporting, there is a Decepticon force heading towards your location in the Nemesis.
They’ve located another source of power according to the interrogation of Starscream, A power source in comparison to the Alspark.
Beware this group of Decepticons is being lead by Soundwave”.

Hot Rod turned the recording system off and transmitted the message via the hyper wave link to the Ark.

“I hope they get it in time”.





* * *





“They did what?” Starscream growled in rage as he knocked aside one of the Unknown Decepticons near him.

“Onslaught sent Blastoff to retrieve the Nemesis, Soundwave assembled the attack force they just left orbit and entered into a warp field”.
Shockwave looked down at the fallen Decepticon as it struggled to stand up untill Starscream smashed it back into the ground with his foot.

“Get another ship, A fast ship. We are going to beat them to Earth”
Starscream erupted kicking away the Decepticon under foot.

Shockwave nodded solemnly as Starscream stalked away.
He looked down at the crushed Decepticon it crawled towards him leaking mech fluid.

“He---llpp meeee---”.

Shockwave took aim with his arm cannon and fired, disinigrating the Helpless Decepticon.

“Sorry we cant afford to waste resources for repairs”.


Shockwave turned and exited to carry out Starscream’s orders.


Shockwave even consolidated the fact that even if it came down to it, Starscream was expendable. If the resources that were on Earth we true, Cybertron wouldn’t miss the losses if it’s restoration to greatness was a matter and the future leader of the Decepticon Empire would guarantee that restoration.



Starscream flew to a stop as he was greeted with the loss of his missing ship, feeling that rage well up inside him he commed Shockwave to confirm the earlier report.


“They took my ship!” Starscream growled as he turned back and flew towards Cybertron, “They took Nemesis!”.

“Well get another ship” Shockwave replied, “There’s thousands on Cybertron in her spaceports”

“Find one fast, were losing time every cycle we delay!” Starscream replied as he entered the atmosphere.






His look of scorn was amusing to Shockwave, “It is faster then the Nemesis we’ll get there before Soundwave does”

“I hope so for your sake” Starscream growled as they entered into the warp field.





Hot Rod was surprised his idea of sling shotting around the Nemesis in the warp space worked as he looked down at the white blue planet below.

“So this is Earth?” he spoke aloud to himself, “Looks like it’s gonna be a fun trip”.

Navigating the small ship for decent it flew low into the atmosphere buffered by the re-entry and gravity being pushed against the hull it made groaning noises and pops as it absorbed the heat from the vector. He changed his course and leveled the ship as he scanned for Cybertronian signals and located the Autobot signals two in fact one a group signal the other across the same continent of land it identified it as Bumblebee.

“Why would Bumblebee be way over there, I’ll have to ask Optimus Prime once I land and report to him”.

“CYBETRONIAN CRAFT ADDJUST YOUR TRANSPONDER FREQUINCY!”.

“Eh, Ratchet?” Hot Rod asked aloud.

“WHO’S THIS?”.

“Hot Rod”.

“STAND BY!”.

Hot Rod adjusted the transponder as order realizing he wasn’t broadcasting his FOF signature as he shut it off to sneak under the Nemesis’s sensors.

“HOT ROD?” Came a voice he recognized.

“Optimus” Hot Rod said in relief.

“WELLCOME TO EARTH, FOLLOW THE SIGNAL RATCHET GIVES YOU AND GET HERE SOON. WE HAVE A LOT TO DISCUSS”.

“Roger, Prime. I Have a lot to fill you in on and to ask as well” Hot Rod replied.

“UNDERSTOOD, OPTIMUS OUT!”.

A tone sounded on his display board as the ship’s tracking system locked onto the signal Ratchet had provided.

Soon he would be able to get all the answers he needed, and then some.







The small craft landed just outside a mountain range, Hot Rod thought His optics had malfunctioned when the same mountain disappeared and in it’s place sat the Ark.

“HOT ROD BRING THE YOUR SHIP CLOSER WE CAN’T HIDE IT IF YOU LEAVE IT OUT IN PLAIN SIGHT!”

“Oh right” Hot Rod replied and moved the ship forward landing it close to the Ark as the Mountain reappeared over them.

The cockpit hatch raised Hot Rod climbed out and dropped down to the surface where a cloud of dirt puffed up from under his feet. He looked up and saw things he didn’t recognize and armed his weapon.

“Stand down Hot Rod!” Optimus spoke.

“Optimus?” Hot Rod squinted.

“Yes, It’s me, and My crew”.

“Ratchet” he pointed to then to, “Ironhide”.

“Looking a lil naked there kid” Ironhide chuckled.

“Looking a lil bloated there old man” Hot Rod replied.

“I’ll show you bloated-”.

“Stand down Ironhide” Optimus warned.

“And these two are our latest additions, Arcee” Optimus pointed out, “And Kup”.

“I don’t need no introductions I know this turbo revving young punk!”
Optimus nodded as he tuned to Mikaela, “This is one of our Human allies. “Mikaela, This is Hot Rod”.

“Hi” she replied.

“Human allies?” Hot Rod asked.

“I’ll explain it later” Optimus replied as he turned to lead him to the Ark,
“So lets hear your report.




Hot Rod explained the events that had happened since their departure ghis recent dethroning by Soundwave a loyal follower of Megatron who had demanded answers as to what happened to their misplaced leader and Why Starscream, a known backstabber was allowed to lead his own mission to recover the whereabouts of Megatron. Optimus interjected at points filling in gaps to Hot Rod’s report, replaying the battle they had fought on Earth against the Decepticons led by Starscream and how they were all defeated and the bodies of Megatron, and Blackout were disposed of by the Earth government after the battle, and the destruction of the Alspark.

“Strange On my approach I detected four Decepticon signals”

“Four?” Optimus replied his optics adjusting from shock, “Ratchet?”

“Going to check now” Ratchet turned and left the group.
