Life of an Agent (Transformers Prime Seasons 1 & 2) Chapter 24
"Prime! What in blazes are your people doing out here?!? We had an agreement! No colateral damage!" said Fowler though the video com-link at the Autobot base. "What'cha talking about dad?" asked Madalyn who was sitting on Optimus's shoulder. "I am sorry Agent Fowler. But all Autobots are present and accounted for." corrected Optimus..."Then explain why I'm recieving reports of two jumbo size bots, mizing it up, 20 miles outside of Omaha!" replyed Fowler. "Decepticons?" suggested Ratchet. "There's has been plenty of in fighting lately." said Arcee. "Yeah, Megatron can't seem to keep his ranks in line, after that incident with Starscream." added Madalyn. "Well I'm just arriving on the scene. Have a look." said Fowler. Agent Fowler brought up on the video screen one of the robots. His armour was dark blue while his insignia and details were yellow. His weapon was a giant machine gun. "Is that?" asked Madalyn. "I don't know. Pant job aside it can't be Skyquake. Bee and Optimus pounded him to the ground." explained Bulkhead. "Before Starscream yanked him back out." added Arcee "As somekind of undead terrorcon. Question still stands, who's the dance partner?" Fowler flew his jet to see a cybertronian fighter ship, with a Cybertronian hiding behind it. Once the bot was in view, Fowler zoomed in on him. Once Madalyn and the bots saw him, they knew exactly who he was. "Oh my gosh!" said Madalyn in shock. "By the allspark! It is one of ours!" said Ratchet. It was Wheeljack. "Wheeljack! Ha, ha, Jackie's back!" cheered Bulkhead. "I don't care if Aberaham Lincoin is back!" replyed Fowler "We have to contain the situation before we all wind up, on the 11:00 o'clock news!"
"Come on Ratchet! Open the bridge were missng all the action!" said Bulkhead. "I'll come too." said Madalyn as Optimus let her down on the foor "Never know if you'll need the extra fire power." Ratchet activated the ground bridge and the portal opened. "Autobots! Roll out!" commanded Optimus as he and the autobots ran though the ground bridge. "Wait for me!" called out Madalyn as she ctivated her communicator and transformed into her Autobot form as she ran though the ground bridge.
Madalyn and the Autobots arrived at the other side of the ground bridge to find themselves at an abandon gas station. Once they arrived, Madalyn stopped Wheeljack, on one knee with his right hand on his left shoulder. "Wheeljack's down! Arcee, Bumblebee, keep that Decepticon distracted." said Madalyn. "You got it." said Arcee as she and Bumblebee ran towards another building next to the station for cover, while Madalyn, Optimus, and Bulkhead ran towards Wheeljack. As they were running, the Decepticon began concentrating his fire on Madalyn, Bulkhead, and Optimus. Bulkhead fired back at him, while Arcee, and Bumblebee took cover and began shooting at the 'Con to distract him. Sureenough it worked, and Madalyn and the boys succesfully reached Wheeljack. "Ugh.." groaned Wheeljack. "Jackie!" yelled Bulkhead as he helped him up. Madalyn, and the other's watched as Decepticon ran off, behind the gas station, and spoted Agent Fowler's jet. Two green lasers shot out of the Decepticon's optics, and scanned Fowler's jet. "oh no not again!" thought Madalyn. Once the scan was done, the 'Con began to run off. "Oh no you don't!" yelled Wheeljack as he pulled his arm away from Bulkhead, transformed both hands into blasters and aimed them at the 'Con. "Wheeljack!" called out Optimus. "Don't! yelled Madalyn. "Jackie no!" yelled Bulkhead. But it was too late. Once Wheeljack took the first shot, instead of hitting the 'Con it, hit one of the gass pups and the entire station exloded and blew up in flames. Madalyn watched as the 'Con flew out of the smoke, zooming past Agent Fowler's jet, and flew off into the night sky. "Dreadwing regged the place to blow!" complained Wheeljack as he transformed his blasters back into hands. "Dreadwing?" asked Bulkhead. "Actually that was your handy work sparky." corrected Arcee as she and Bumblebee walked over and met up with the others. "It's called a gas station, kinda like an energon depot." explained Bulkhead. "Doesn't mix very well with blaster fire." added Madalyn. "Huh. Well our 'Con's getting away!" said Wheeljack as he started to walk away. But Optimus stopped him. "Wheeljack, there are other considerations. While on this world, you would do well to follow my lead." explained Optimus.
When they arrived back at the Autobot base, the sun was coming up. Ratchet was fixing the scortch mark on Wheeljack's shoulder, when everyone got back. "Your kidding me! I stayed up all night?!? My dad is gonna kill me!" said Madalyn talking to herself, but turned her attention back to the others when she heard Wheeljack cry out abit in pain. "Ow! Take it easy Doc, I need that arm." said Wheeljack. "Hold still and maybe you'll keep it.." replyed Ratchet as he continued working. "Look commander, apoligizes about the fireworks. Won't happen again. But I've tracked Dreadwing across 100 lightyears of space!" explained Wheeljack. "I thought you were roaming the galaxy." said Bulkhead. "Yeah, looking for Autobot refuges?" asked Madalyn. "I was, untill I found one, a Wreaker." answered Wheeljack. "Who?" asked Bulkhead all excitd all of a sudden. "Seaspray." answered Wheeljack with a blank expression. "Hmm, he doesn't look oo happy though." thought Madalyn. "Ha! How is old barnical butt?" asked Bulkhead. "Not so good Bulk'. Blown to bitts, actually." answered Wheeljack. Madalyn gasped at the answer. "What? No!" said Bulkhead as he backed away a bit. There was slience for a moment then Optimus, spoke. "Dreadwing." said Optimus with a serious expression on his face. "That Decepticreep from earlier." said Madalyn. "My flyer, the Jack Hammer. Picked up Seaspray's signal, acouple of light years from the darn. We made contact and arranged a rendevous in the Dramadan System. But Dreadwing must have intercepted it, because he got to Seaspray first. He used a proximity bomb. Mean't to take us both out. Guess I should be glad the Jack Hammer could take a punch. I picked up Dreadwings Ion trail, and tracked him through a dozen solar systems before catching up with him. And he lead me right back to this marble. Some cowencidence huh." explained Wheeljack. "Yeah, a big one." replyed Madalyn with a smile. Wheeljack smiled back at her. "I know of this Dreadwing. He was captain of a Seeker Armada. And as such, like this twin Skyquake, friecly loyal to the Decepticon cause. Dreadwing has no doubt come to Earth to pay alligence, to his one true master." said Optimus. "Megatron!" added Madalyn. "Hope he's enjoying the visit" said Wheeljack as he got up from the medic bed and formed his hnd into a hist "Cause it's gonna be his last!" Ratchet sighed in annoyance.
"Wheeljack, this planet is heavily inhabited. Any strike me make against the Decepticons, must be carefully measured. As a team. Least, we risk endangering the human population." explained Optimus as he waved his hand for Wheeljack to look at Madalyn as an example. "Are you suggesting we sit back and do nothing?!?" asked Wheeljack. "Wheeljack, what Optimus means is..." but before Madalyn could finnish, Agent Fowler came barging in. "You! Loose Cannon! Your cowboy antics almost blew our cover!" complained Fowler as he stood next to Madalyn. "Cover?" asked Wheeljack in confusion. "Were robots in this dusguise Jackie. You need an Earth based vehicle outside of here." explained Bulkhead. "That space ship you shot down, NOT EARTH BASED! I had to jump through some big hoops, to get it out of plain sight! You need to keep a tighter lease on your people Prime!" explained Fowler. "A tighter lease?!?" said Wheeljack as he tunrd to face Fowler with a angry expression on his face. "Uh oh." thought Madalyn. "Let me clarify, tiny!" said Wheeljack as he walked towards Fowler. "Jackie!" warned Bulkhead. Wheeljack came up to Fowler, face-to-face. "I'm not one of Optimus Prime's poeple!" said Wheeljack. Then he got up and walked away. "Whoa." whispered Madalyn, "I'll talk to him! With your permission?" asked Bulkhead. "Of course." answered Optimus. Bulkhead then left to follow his friend. "Is Wheeljack alright?" asked Madalyn. "Looks like the new guy has a little problem with authority." commented Fowler. Madalyn nodged her dad in the arm with her elbow letting him know not to be rude. "Wheeljack and Bulkhead served together in the Wreakers. A combat unit that operated outside the noraml chain of command." explained Optimus. "Huh, black ops." said Fowler. "They accepted missions no one else would. And not many of them came back." finnished Optimus.
"I'm gonna go check on the boys." said Madalyn. Madalyn used the elevator to go up to the roof of the base. Once she madeit outside, she saw Bulkhead walking towards a a big crack, where Wheeljack was keeping his ship. "Hey Bulkhead! Wait up!" yelled Madalyn as she ran towards him. Madalyn caught up with him, as Bulkhead stoped to wait for her. Then the two of them proceded inside the crack to find Wheeljack leaning against his ship. "Jackie, look if it weren't for the humans, we couldn't take on the 'Cons right now. Were out numbered!" explained Bulkhead. Then Wheeljack got up from leaning againstthe ship, and looked down at Madalyn, thinking abut what Bulkhead said, then looked up at Bulkhead. "Roadbuster, Pyro, Impactor, Rodostorm, Seaspray, all dust!" explined Wheeljack. "Other members of the wreakers." said Madalyn. "That's what I'm talking about! Wreakers are Autobots! There's just not that many of us left." replyed Bulkhead. "But if we get behind Optimus, then you guys have a chance to end this war once and for all!" finnished Madalyn. Wheeljack looked down at Madalyn and smirked at her, then looked up at Bulkhead again. "Guys, like Optimus, they talk a good game. But when your in the scrap, they don't wanna get their hands dirty." said Wheeljack. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, you don't know Optimus like I do. Being a Wreaker mean't everything to me. But I left that behind." replyed Bulkhead. "Because Prime was the real thing, blah, blah, blah." replyed Wheeljack. "Is he holding a grudge or something?" thought Madalyn. Then there was a beeping noise coming from inside Wheeljack's ship. Madalyn, Wheeljack, and Bulkhead walked inside. "Wheeljack! I know your out there listening! I have a proporision for you." said an unknown voice through the com-link. "Is that?" asked Bulkhead. "Dreadwing!" answered Wheeljack. "That nasty Decepticreep!" said Madalyn while pounding her fists together. "Meet me at these coordinates. If you have the spark." said Dreadwing, then the transmission ended. "I'll see you there 'Con. Just to watch you fry!" said Wheeljack. Then Wheeljack sat in the pilots seat of the jet. "Jackie it's a trap!" said Bulkhead. "I know. But when's that ever stoped me?" replyed Wheeljack. Wheeljack pressed some buttons in the control pad and started the ship. "You coming with?" asked Wheeljack. Bulkhead was silence for a moment then, moved in to the passenger chair. "You tagging along kid?" asked Wheeljack as he turned and looked down at Madalyn. "Me?" asked Madalyn in surprise. "Yeah." answered Wheeljack with a smile. "Well, I guess. But only to keep you too out of too much trouble." replyed Madalyn. Wheeljack scouped her up in his hand and placed her on his right shoulder. "At least let us call for back up!" Bulkhead finally said. "You know Wreakers don't call for back up." replyed Wheeljack. "Let me guess...." said Madalyn with a smirk. "They call for clean up!" they all cheered and Bulkhead and Wheeljack bro-fisted. "Of course." said Madalyn with a small laugh. And after that, they were off, to Dreadwings coordinates.
After about half an hour of flying, they arrived at the coordniates Dreadwing supplyed to them. "It's show time boys!" said Madalyn, Wheeljack let her down on the floor, then Madalyn activated her communicator and transformed into her Autobot form. "Whoa! Never knew she could do that. Are you an Autobot?" asked Wheeljack. "Actually, it's the other way around Jackie." answered Bulkhead. "Thanks to Ratchet, I'm a human who can transform into an utobot." explained Madalyn. "Impressive." replyed Wheeljack with a smile and winked at her. Madalyn blushed slightly, then Bulkhead nudged Wheeljack in the arm. "Jackie, I know that look, don't even think about it!" said Bulkhead. "What? Come on Bukhead, I'm just being nice." said Wheeljack as he regained focus and walked pasted the others "Come on, let's go kick Dreadwing's skin pllate!"
Wheeljack came up with a great plan against Dreadwing. He would chase him into a big trench near by, and keep running till they come to a dead end. That's where, Bulkhead and Madalyn will be waiting for them, to ambush Dreadwing. Bulkhead was already in his position at the trench, while Madalyn stayed behind to watch Wheeljack. "Gotta edmit, Wheeljack is pretty cool." thought Madalyn as she hid behind a tree, while Wheeljack met up with Dreadwing. "I wasn't certain you'd come." said Dreadwing. "I don't like unfinnished business." replyed Wheeljack. Then they both moved into a stnad off, getting ready to fight. Dreadwing grab a bomb and threw it at Wheeljack. But Jacie intercepted it, by thowing his grenade at the bomb, and the collision between them, caused an explosion. "Whoa!" said Madalyn as she looked away and took cover behind them tree. She heard Wheeljack yell, and then looked back to see, Wheeljack running through the smoke with his katanna blades out, then jumped in the air to perform a jump stab attack. But Dreadwing jumped out of the way as Wheljack landed. Dreadwing then made a running retreat, as Wheeljack put his mouth guard on, and followed him into the trench. "That's my cue!" thought Madalyn as she went out of hidding and ran to Bulkhead's position.
"Aura! Over here!" whispered Bulkhead. Bulkhead waved to Madalyn for her to find him, and Madalyn met up with him at the dead end of the trench. "Why are you using my Autobot code name?" whispered back Madalyn. "Just incase Dreadwing might hear me." answered Bulkhead. Near by they heard an explosion coming from the far end of the trench. "What was that?" asked Madalyn. "Dreadwing, no doubt." answered Bulkhead, as he transformed his hands into blasters and waited for Dreadwing and Wheeljack. Madalyn did the same. She looked up and saw the smoke coming from the explosion, and then another one, closer to their location. "Please be safe, Wheeljack." thought Madalyn. Bulkhead and Madalyn ducked their heads down, and soon enough say, Dreadwing comerunning in, and stoping in his tracks when he he saw the end of the trail. And sure enough, Wheeljack was walking behind him, with his katannas crossed and his mouth guard on. He took off his mouth guard then looked up at the others. "If your thinking about flying out of here..." said Wheeljack. "Then think again!" finnished Bulkhead as he and Madalyn came out of hiding and aimed their blasters at Dreadwing. Madalyn saw a smirk coming from Dreadwing, who was looking at Wheeljack. Wheeljack looked to the side where Madalyn and Bulkhead was, and found a bomb attached to the dirt wall they were on top on. "Bulkhead! Aura!" cried out Wheeljack. But it was too late. Dreadwing set off the bomb, and Madalyn, bulkhead, and abunch of rocks and boulders came crashing down ontop of Wheeljack, while Dreadwing flew off and took cover. "Ahhhhh!" screamed Madalyn as she fell to the ground and rocks came tumbling down on top of her.
Madalyn must have recieved a conncusion from all the rocks falling ontop of her. Because everytime she tried to wake up, her vision kept fding in and out, and she could only see afew things. First time shee woke up, she saw all the rocks ontop of her, and then saw someone, moving them out of the way, but she couldn't quite see who it was. The second time she opened her eye's she saw, Bulkhead being dragged off somewhere. Then she realized that she was also beening dragged by someone. But the person who was taking them away, grabed bulkhead's arm and was dragging him on the ground, while for Madalyn, was being help over the person's shoulder and being held in place. SHe turned her head over abit to get a goodlook, at either their rescuer or kidnapper. Once her vision cleared up abit, the person who found them, appeared to be.......... Dreadwing. As Madalyn's vision was fading again, Dreadwing turned his head and looked into Madalyn's eye's. He smirked at her and chuckled abit, as Madalyn blacked out completely.
"Aura? Aura, can you hear me?'" asked Bulkhead nervously. Madalyn finally actually woke up to the sound of Bulkhead's voice. She looked around her and saw that she and Bulkhead were handcuffed against a big metal crate. The cuffs were made of purple electricity, so if you try and struggle out of the cuffs too much, they would shock you. "Ugh... Bulkh..head?" said Madalyn. Bulkhead sighed in relief. "Phew. Thank Primus, your alive. Had me worried sick, kid." said Bulkhead. "Yeah... Where are we?" asked Madalyn looking around in confusion. "Some kind of cargo bay. Don't know which city exactly." answered Bulkhead. Madalyn looked up hearing a jet noise, and to her surprise, saw Dreadwing in his vehicle mode, which was a miliatry fighter jet. He transformed to robot mode in mid air and landed infront of Bulkhead and Madalyn. "Decepticon scum! Let the girl go, I'm the one you want! Not her!" yelled Bulkhead. "Don't friet Autobot. Plenty of fighting to come." replyed Dreadwing. "What is this about anyway? We never did anything to you!" argued Madalyn. "I'm merly seeking vengance for my twin Skyquake. You Autobot's will pay for his demise." answered Dreadwing. "That's it? Just getting revenge?" asked Madalyn. She watched Dreadwing as he walked over to Bulkhead, and attached a bomb to his chest, and set the timer. "Dreadwing, listen to me!" continued Madalyn "I knwo that you value loyality and honner. Revenge isn't the right and honnerable thing to do!" After Dreadwing was finnished with the bomb he turned his head at Madalyn. "Maybe so, Autobot, it is also my hope that vanquishing you Autobots, shall earn Lord Megatron's respect, in memory of my departed twin." explained Dreadwing as he walked over to her and placed his hand under Madaln's chin, for her to face his direction "But although, I do find you somehow, intreiging. If you manage to survive, you'll make an excellent trophey." with ath Dreadwing walked away, transformed into his jet mode and flew off to the top of a crane, and resumed back into his robot form. "Ok, that was intense. And second of all, did Dreadwing just call me cute?" said Madalyn. Just then Madalyn and Bulkhead heard another jet noise. They looked up in the sky to see Wheeljack's ship flying by. "Jackie's here. Let's hope he get's here, before this goes off." said Bulkhead. Madalyn looks back at Bulkhead's chest and see's the timer of the bomb counting down. "How long do we got?" asked Madalyn. "About an hour." answered Bulkhead.
"Wait! You hear that?" whispered Madalyn. Madalyn heard footsteps coming from afew yards away from them. She watched as Wheeljack and Optimus turned the corner with their blasters out, and looked at them. "Hey guys." said Bulkhead nervously. Wheeljack then turned to Bulkhead and saw the bomb attached to his chest. "Srcap." said Wheeljack as he and Optimus looked at each other then back at Bulkhead and Madalyn. "You really got yourself into a heep of scrap this time partner." said Wheeljack as he walked to wards them. "Jackie stay back!" said Bulkhead. Madalyn looked at the timer. "45 minutes left." said Madalyn as she turned to Wheeljack. Wheeljack nodded. "Better get to work." said Wheeljack. "Have you defused one of these before?" asked Optimus. Wheeljack touched the bomb, and the screen opened up. Behind it was a bunch of connected wires. "Failsafes, dummy weeds, booby traps... it's a work of art." said Wheeljack while carefully examening it. "Better hurry you guys. Dreadwing's not to far behind. If he see's you, were in deep trouble." warned Madalyn. "No problem, kid. I've been in tougher situations than this. We'll be out of here in no time." replyed Wheeljack. Madalyn smiled slightly at the reply. "Well at least he knows what he's doing." thought Madalyn. "Jackie, if you do't abort now, were all gonna need clean up!" said Bulkhead. "I'm trying to focus here Bulk." replyed Wheeljack, trying to figure out which wire to pull out. Madalyn watched Wheeljack as he tried to disarm the bomb. SHe looked away slightly and noticed that Optimus had vanished. At first she didn't believe it so she shook her head then looked again. Still no Optimus. "Wait, where did Optimus go?" asked Madalyn. Wheeljack stoped working for a moment to look behind him. "It's like I told you." said Wheeljack as he looked back at them "When the scrap hits the fanblades, the generals are the first to bail." "No, not Optimus!" replyed Bulkhead. "Yeah, Optimus is defenitly up to something." said Madalyn.
As Madalyn as watching Wheeljack trying to disarm the bomb again, she heard some yelling coming from close by. "What is that?" thought Madalyn. She tuned her head into the direction of the yelling to listen better. "Dreadwing! If you are anything like your broher Skyquake, I know that you value loyalty and honer." said Optimus. "Is there a point to your bluster Prime?' replyed Dreadwing. "Only that Megatron knows nothing of those principals. He lives only for destruction and conquest!"" explained Optimus "But there is another path. Deactivate the bomb!" "So that's where he went. He's trying to reason with Dreadwing." thought Madalyn. Then out of the blue, there was the noise and explosions of blaster fire. "You guys hear that?"asked Madalyn. Bulkhead and Wheeljack look around, while listening for the blasts. "Yeah, I heard it too." replyed Wheeljack. "Same here. Prime must be picking a fight with Dreadwing." said Bulkhead.
Madalyn checked the time on the bomb. "#0 minutes!" said Madalyn. "Get out of here already! Break Madalyn lose and run while you still can!" said Bulkhead. "I didn't leave you on Sandacan and I'm not leaving you here!" replyed Wheeljack while still working. Madalyn listened as the blaster fire got louder and louder. "Ugh guys?" said Madalyn nervously. "Face it. There's only one Bot who can defuse it and his name's Dreadwing!" said Bulkhead. Then the blaster fire came back, alittle bit louder than before. "The blaster fire's getting closer. As if the commander..." but before Wheeljack could finnish his sentence, Bulkhead pulled his right hand lose of the cuffs and punched Dreadwing in the face, sending WHeeljack flying and landing on his stomach. Bulkhead pulled his other arm lose and looked down at Wheeljack. "I'm sorry Jackie. It's cause I love ya." said Bulkhead as he ran off. "Bulkhead!" yelled Madalyn.
"Quick, Wheeljack get me out of here! We gotta go after Dreadwing!" said Madalyn. "Agreed." said Wheeljack as she rubbed his head while getting back up on his feet. He then put his mouth guard on then pulled out both of his katannas. "Stay still." said Wheeljack as he sliced Madalyn's cuffs in half and they feel to the ground. At last Madalyn finally put her arms down and streched. "Thanks Jackie. Come on, let's find Bulkhead. Besides, you own him an apologie." said Madalyn as she jumped up on top of one of the crates while Wheeljack followed. "An apologie? What for?" asked Wheeljack all confused. "Don't you see? It looks to me that you've been holding a grudge about Bulkhead leaving the Wreakers to join up with Optimus. ANd your acting like it was Optimus's fault. Optimus is a great leader. Bulkhead told me, he left was because he knew that Optimus can end this war. But he can't do it, without the help of his FELLOW Autobots. That's were Bulkhead comes in. Bulkhead left because he wanted to HELP Optimus and his team. Not to leave you. You see where I'm going with this?" explained Madalyn. Wheeljack thinks for a moment then loks up at Madalyn. "Whoa. I had no idea. I think I get it now. Thanks... Madalyn." replyed Wheeljack with a smirk. "Heh, heh, no problem Jackie." said Madalyn. "Come on, let's find Bulkhead!" said Wheeljack as he and Madalyn ran and jumped acroos the metal crates looking for Bulkhead.
"I found him! He's headed for the river!." said Madalyn as she jumped on a blue crate near a giant crane. "Stay here I got him." said Wheeljack as he jumped off the crate and landed infront of Bulkhead. "Bulkhead wait!" yelled Wheeljack. "Out of my way!" yelled Bulkhead as he ran into Wheeljack. But Wheeljack stayed and tried his best to push him back. But Bulkhead was pushing Wheeljack towards the edge of the harbour. "Will... you.. listen to me.. Bulk!" said Wheeljack. "Come on, Wheeljack! You got this!" thought Madalyn. Bulkhead finally stoped right out the edge of the harbour. "You were right! Dreadwing's the only one who can defuse it! And Optimus knows it too." said Wheeljack as he looked at the top of the crane. Madalyn turned her attention to the top of the crane and saw, Optimus, climbing up to the top of the claw and standing on it. Then she heard some footsteps coming from behind her. She turned around and saw Dreadwing, with his machine out, and loaded. "Dreadwing!" whispered Madalyn. She layed down, stomach first on the crate and ducked her head down slightly so Dreadwing wouldn't see her.He walked towards the crane, and under the claw. Then Madalyn heard Optimus yelling and he fell from the cran taking the claw with him, and the claw landed right ontop of Dreadwing. "Alright Prime!" said Madalyn. She jumped down from the crate and she, Wheeljack and Bulkhead surround Dreadwing with Optimus. "Dreadwing, defuse the bom, or fall victum to your own device." said Optimus. Madalyn looked at the bomb and the timer had 3 minutes left. "Oh boy.." thought Madalyn. "I will gladly sacrifice myself to avenge my brother." replyed Dreadwing surprisingly remaining calm. "Then we will in turn, gladly join the allspark with our brother." said Optimus. "And with you. You'll never shake us!" said Wheeljack while crossing his arms and giving Dreadwing a serious look. There was an intense moment of slience. Madalyn and Bulkhead looked at eachother neverously, then looked at the bomb.But, with one minute to spare, Dreadwing answered. "Very well." said Dreadwing. Optimus and Wheeljack pull the claw of Dreadwing, to let him get up. He stood infront of Bulkhead then pulled out a blue wire, and it stoped the timer and defused the bomb with just 1 second to spare. "Phew." said Bulkhead in relief. "That was WAY too close." said Madalyn. "I had it narrowed down to the blue or the yellow.... or the red." said Wheeljack. Madalyn then saw Dreadwing secertly take out a remote a pushed a botton on it. "Guys! Watch out!" yelled Madalyn. And out of nowhere there were explosions all across the cargo bay, with crates flying in the air and catching on fire. Dreadwing used the distraction to transform into his jet mode, and flew away to escape. Madalyn and the Autobots watched as Dreadwing flew away, then turned and looked back at the fire. "So, who do we call for clean up?" asked Wheeljack.
Madalyn, Optimus, Wheeljack, and Bulkhead arrived back at base. Madalyn was back in her human form and sitting on Optimus's shoulder when Wheeljack walked up to them. "Listen commander, I just wanna say it was an honnor watching you work." said Wheeljack while rubbing the back of his head "I, uh, think I had the wrong idea about you." "And it would seem that you place a better value on community then you otherwise led on." replyed Optimus as he extend his hand for a hand shake. "Wait, he's joining Team Prime?" asked Madalyn wth a smile on her face and acting all excited. "Whoa, let's not jump the gun here!" said Wheeljack in shock. Then Bulkhead slaped him on the back. "Come on Jackie, if you leave, your gonna end up coming back again." said Bulkhead. "All that wasted fuel. And energon is in sort supply." added Arcee. "Beep bop bop beep bop 'Plus we could use the back up against the Decepticons'" said Bumblebee. "They got a point, ya know." said Madalyn. "But then again, we do have limited space." said Ratchet sarcasticaly. "Please, Wheeljack!" begged Madalyn while giving him a sad puppy dog face. Wheeljack smiled at her then laughed. "Not sure if I'm ready to give up my freedom just yet. Maybe I could do some exploring. See if this rock suites me." said Wheeljack. "No offense to the Jack Hammer, but you'll need an Earth-Based vehicle mode." replyed Bulkhead. Wheeljack thinks for a moment then smirks at his friend. "And I got just the thing!" said Madalyn.
Ratchet ground bridge Madalyn, Bulkhead, and Madalyn to a factory in Malibu, California. She puhed a button on a remote control and the metal front door opened, to reviel inside the factory, a ton of sports cars. "Whoa! what is this place?" asked Bulkhead. "It belonged to my dad." answered Madalyn. "wait, Fowler?" replyed Bulkhead with a shocked look on his face. "No, no, my first dad. Fowler is my step dad. After my old dad retired from the milatry and the university, he used some of the money he had, and bought some sport cars. After awhile he started a whole collection." explained Madalyn. "I'll say, look at all of these!" commented Wheeljack. "After he passed, he passed down his collection to me and Cole. It didn't feel right to sell them for extra money, so we kept them here. Follow me Wheeljack. I have the perfect vehicle mode for you, and it's right here in this collection." said Madalyn. Wheeljack and Bulkhead followed Madalyn through the factory while looking at the cars. There was everything from Cadilacs, to Chevys, to GMC's, to Lambergini's, you name it. Once they reached to the middle of the room, Madaly removed a giant sheet that was covering a car. "Behold! The Mitsubishi Concept-RA sports car." cheered Maalyn. It was white with red and green secondary detail colours. "Hmm, I like it." said Wheeljack with a smile. "Go ahead and try it on." said Bulkhead. Wheeljack walked up to the vehicle and a green scanning beam out from his optics and he scanned the vehicle. He then transformed into his new 'Earth-Bsed' vehicle mode. "Not bad, kid. Not bad at all." said Wheeljack.
