Cybertron 4.4 Million years ago

Fifteen highly futuristic cars were driving down the streets of Cybertron, with one standing out like a red and black car with the others being just being one color. "We showed those creeps didn't we!" Said the voice of Cliffjumper over his comms.

"Take it easy Cliffjumper, but yes we did a good job out there. Everyone gets charged up when we get back to base." Said the voice of Ironhide. They then made it to a large building with many other Autobot troopers all over the base. The cars then changed shape and a few of them were a few Autobots such as Jazz, Ironhide, Perceptor, and Cliffjumper, however, they looked different than they do on earth, it was due to them having different Alt modes back on their homeworld.

"Alright Bots, we'll be given another mission soon from Ultra Magnus until then, get charged and ready and if you can even do some practicing. Just don't accidentally shoot yourself in the Aft again." Ironhide said with a few Autobots chuckling at that comment with one looking annoyed from the joke.

"When will everyone stop making that joke?" Said the Autobot.

"Never Sunstreaker." Said Cliffjumper. As they were all walking away Cliffjumper walked up to another Autobot with a red blocky body with white wings on the side of their head. "Hey, rookie, excellent job out there, and thanks for getting that Con that was behind me, you saved me back there. It's Inferno, right?"

"Yes sir." Said the young Autobot named Inferno, giving a salute. "I was just doing my duty, sir, blasting a Con and saving one of my own."

"I like your attitude kid, if you're ever in trouble, I'll have your back," Cliffjumper said as the two walked alongside each other as they begin to talk more to each other.

Earth Present Day

Somewhere in Oregon, in the middle of a forest tons of trees were knocked down, either pushed, torn, or even cut down and even some with bite marks on them and some blue webbing in the branches, it was clear that there was not any wildlife in the area as they would be either be scared off or worse. One man was walking down the destructions, they were wearing an auto mechanic jumpsuit with the name Witwicky on it and looked around and took some pictures with their phone seeing all the damage, all of it did not look natural.

Their phone then rang with the caller ID called "Pops" on it and answered it. "Dad, what's up?" Said the man as he took off a grey beanie hat revealing his short light brown hair.

"I was just checking in we're on our way to your location." Said the voice of Commander Vincent Witwicky, he is the father of this young man. "I think we're near- hold on I think I see your location." Vincent Witwicky said as the man holding the phone heard a horn go off. He looked at the road and saw four cars.

One car was a large red Freightliner FL86 truck with a large trailer that had a blue streak on it. The other cars were smaller cars, such as a white Nissan Silvia S15 with red streaks, a red Dodge Challenger with black streaks, and an iconic black and yellow 1990 Chevrolet American muscle car.

The man walked up to the side of the road where the cars parked with the drivers of most of the cars with only the truck not opening and out of the cars were four people, out from the Challenger was Vincent Witwicky in his military uniform, from the Silvia was Mari Fujiyama, and from the black and yellow car was Lincoln Loud with his youngest sister Lily Loud.

"For anyone wondering what we're doing here, Vincent needed some Autobots for a mission that was only a few hours away from the ark and tagged along with us," Lincoln said as he looked at the viewers--or well readers--and then saw the young man walking to them, who Vincent also walked up to and shook their hand.

"Good to see you again Isaac," Vincent said to the young man.

"Nice to see you too dad." The man named Isaac said revealing that he is the son of Vincent Witwicky and saw the others who were right behind him. "Hey, you guys must be the others that my dad told me about, I'm Isaac, Isaac Witwicky."

Isaac Witwicky (22)

-Only son of Vincent Witwicky

-A mechanic who owns a garage

-Friend of the Autobots

"Nice to meet you Isaac I am Lincoln, and this is my little sister Lily, and this is a friend of mine named Mari," Lincoln said to Isaac who walked up to them and shake their hands. "And again, sorry Mr. Witwicky for bringing my little sister along, my mom couldn't find a sitter and needed to run some errands for the next few hours, and I was the only one home."

"It's all fine kid, my son also already knows about the Autobots too, so we don't have to hide it from him," Vincent told the others. "So, where is it?" Vincent asked as his son just told him it was in the forest and ask the Autobots who were still in their alt modes and others to follow him.

"I found it when people around my town said that they heard a meteor crashing off in the woods, and one of my guys back at the shop said they saw it the "meteor" but it wasn't one, it was that," Isaac said as they all stopped to see it was really one of Lockdown's prison cells, it looked beaten up from the outside, most likely from the impact of the fall but most of them looked like they were fresh, like it was resent and that someone or thing wanted whatever it was on the inside. "Looked Alien to me so I called you guys and well here we are."

"That looks to be one of Lockdown's prison cells but, what was inside of it?" Lincoln questioned himself until he saw something, large blue spider webbing. "And now I really don't want to know if that came from the cell."

Everyone then saw the webs, seeing the size of it, whatever made it had to have been larger than a human. The Autobots then transformed into their robot modes revealing them to be Optimus Prime, Cliffjumper, Bumblebee, and their latest member Deadlock, they all take a closer look at it. "Where have I seen this before?" Cliffjumper said as he looked at the webbing.

"Well, it's a good thing we have an expert," Bumblebee said as he opened a part of him to let something out of him, he placed it on the ground, it was a Microscope, Perceptor.

"Perceptor, Transform!" Perceptor said as he changed into his robot mode and took an even closer look of the webbing, using his shoulder-mounted scope. "Interesting, it is a form of organic Energon webbing, the chemical breakdown of it does match that of natural earth spider webbing. fascinating, I'll need to take a sample for further study."

"Optimus Prime sir, I think I found some tracks that lead back to the road," Deadlock said as he was standing near what looked like large foot stomps. Cliffjumper walked up to the tracks and even pushed Deadlock out of the way without any care for them just to see the tracks.

"Now I'm really wishing that I asked Blaster if I could barrow Steeljaw, he's an expert tracker," Cliffjumper said as he followed the tracks and see that they were dying down. "I think who or what was in that cell may have been a flyer, the tracks end here."

"That's not good, there's a town not too far away," Vincent said as they finished looking at the cell. "I'll tell some suits I know to help clean all this up and say it was a radioactive rock that came from the sky, Lincoln well drive to the town, Isaac can let you, your sister, and Mari hang out at his garage while the Bots search for whatever it was in that cell."

"Alright, Isaac, you need a ride, or do you have wheels of your own?" Lincoln said to Isaac.

"No, I got my own wheels, he's a good friend," Isaac said to them making Lincoln question his choice in words, a good friend and thinks if he is talking about if he also has an Autobots companion. "Beachcomber, you can stop hiding now," Isaac said in his own watch with not getting a response and looked worried. "Beachcomber?"

"Huh, oh hey Isaac sorry I was just having a staring contest with this beautiful looking baby deer, it was so majestic." said a voice on another communication line from his phone.

"Oh, sorry then bud, anyway, can you come here and pick us up, we're heading back to the garage now," Isaac said as they all heard a car heading their way and they all saw a blue dune buggy with no driver, and it stopped right in front of them. "Hey, Beachcomber."

"Hey, Isaac. Hang on. Beachcomber, Transform!" Said the voice of the buggy as it turned into another robot this one with blue armor and a white chest plate. "Hey, long time no see Bee, you look different, new paint job?" The bot was named Beachcomber.

"Whoa, another Autobot?" Lily said in excitement to see another giant robot, today she did meet only a hand full of the Autobots since most of them were already out.

"Oh, no he isn't an Autobot or Decepticon, he's a neutral bot," Isaac said to them.

Beachcomber

-Neutral

-Blue Dune Buggy

-Peaceful map maker

"Beachcomber, long time no see." Said Bumblebee as he goes up to them and shakes their hand. As the two talked like two old friends that have not seen each other in a long time while Lincoln noticed Cliffjumper who looked annoyed seeing this Bot, it was like he had some bad history with them.

"Beachcomber, it is great to see you again, but you must know that we are searching for possible dangerous targets that could be a danger to humans," Optimus said to Beachcomber to get him to know what they are going to be dealing with before handing him a laser weapon. "And I know you hate weapons, but I think it would be a good idea if you carried a weapon-" Optimus said before Beachcomber refused.

"I'm sorry Optimus Prime, but I can't take this, it goes against what I stand for," Beachcomber said as Cliffjumper just looked even more annoyed than before, and Optimus looked like he understands.

"Very well, but if we do get into trouble, I would need you to take the humans somewhere safe from the danger," Optimus said with Beachcomber nodding in agreement.

Lincoln then walked up to Cliffjumper to talk. "Hey, Cliffjumper," Lincoln said getting their attention and getting them to kneel so they could communicate. "Are you all right, you seem annoyed by Beachcomber. Did something happen or...?"

"I don't think now would be the best time, but I'll say this, Beachcomber is nothing but a traitor and shouldn't ever be trusted." Said Cliffjumper, but before Lincoln could question anymore of what he was talking about they all heard Vincent talking on his phone.

"Alright, ETA 27 minutes? Got it. Be sure to inform the town nearby that the meteor is possibly radioactive and that the forest will be closed off for a few days maybe even weeks just so you won't miss anything." Vincent said to whoever was on the other side of the phone before hanging up and turning to the others. "Cleanup crew, we'll be gone before they arrive. Optimus, we have the green light to start heading out."

"Very well old friend, Autobots, Transform and Roll Out!" Optimus said as both he and the Autobots transformed into their alt modes to let the humans inside of them and started to drive off without knowing that something was watching them, a dark beetle came out of the tree lines, but it looked robotic, not organic.

After some time driving down the road, Bee had taken control of driving to let Lincoln communicate with the others as they were also away on their own mission, well more like the Autobots mission and they were dragged on as the area they were sent to had a nearby town. "So how is Alaska?" Lincoln asked his best friend Clyde.

"Well other than the fact it's cold but it is nice, mostly because of this base we're in," Clyde said as he, Ronnie Anne, and Raoul were sitting at a table in what looked like a military underground base with stone walls. "That and this base is heated, it is mostly us and our Autobot companions."

"Yeah, well things here are as much as the same, were just driving to town to drop us off, mostly so we won't get hurt or captured." Lincoln said with Ronnie Anne chiming in with her saying "Again?" which did make Lincoln laugh nervously, as even though they all have been taken prisoner before, Lincoln officially has a history of being taken prisoner from enemies now. "Yeah."

"So how is this "Bug hunt" Vincent talked about? He was a little vague about it when he told you and Mari about it." Ronnie Anne asked her friend.

"Well, it looks like we found one of Lockdown's cells from his ship, but it was opened and whatever was inside is now on the loose, but we'll find it."

"Well, we hope you'll find whatever it was inside that cell, who knows maybe they'll be good guys like the Mini-cons," Clyde said in a naive tone of voice.

"I doubt that young Clyde." Said the voice of Perceptor, who was in the front seat of the car sitting in it like a second passenger, even though he was in his Mass shifted Alt mode of a Microscope. "Don't forget, Lockdown was still a Bounty hunter and a Mercenary, the Mini-cons were bots he attacked because they might have had something, while his other prisoners were most likely not just personal jobs he just took up but maybe even did some real bounty hunting work." What Perceptor said did make everyone who listen get what he was saying, not everyone was like the Mini-cons and could be a major threat if left unchecked.

"Man, I didn't really think about that..." Clyde said getting the situation that they might be dealing with could be something they needed to take care of as soon as possible. "We do wish you guys' luck buddy," Clyde said with a smile towards his best friend.

"Thanks, Clyde," Lincoln said as he hung up to focus on the mission at hand. While they were driving Lincoln looked at Cliffjumper while he was in Alt mode, wondering if they were okay. "Hey, Perceptor?" Lincoln said as he looked to the passenger seat with Perceptor, once again sitting in that seat, and Lily Loud sitting in the back as she was still too young for the front seat.

"Yes, Lincoln Loud?" Perceptor said to them.

"What's with Cliffjumper, before we first went out on this mission, Cliff seemed like he was ready for anything but after meeting this Beachcomber Bot he seems as if he was mad or something... what's with him?" Lincoln asked.

"Well, that's a long story but I'll shorten it, you see Beachcomber was once one of us, an Autobot, but then one day he just left with him telling Optimus that he quits, Optimus let him go and well that was that... Cliffjumper was always a pure loyalist Bot to the Autobot cause and would never turn his back on this army." Perceptor said to Lincoln.

"Why did they leave?" Lily asked as she joins in on the conversation.

"I don't know the whole story but from what I heard from Optimus Prime, he said that he left due to something that had happened a long time ago after a mission, no one asked after that," Perceptor said to the two. "Whatever the reason was it may have been serious for them to leave, I don't hate him for doing so but Cliffjumper, to him it was unbelievable what he did."

"Sounds like he was overreacting, shouldn't they just talk it out?" Lily asked Perceptor.

"Easier said than done, Cliffjumper would never listen to him, he would just yell at them, punch them in the face, or drive away, maybe all three in that order. He just really doesn't like Bots who turn their back on us all, it all started back with Wire- well Foxwire when he sold Ironhide's team out." Said Perceptor.

"Was Cliff on that team?" Lincoln asked.

"Correct, he was on that team alongside him were also me, Jazz, and a few others... our last mission cost us a lot of good Bots, even Inferno," Perceptor said with his voice showing that he was upset with what had happened a long time ago.

"Inferno?" Both Lincoln and Lily said confused, who was the Bot they had just brought up?

"Oh, sorry, Inferno was another member of our team, he was a young, stubborn but still greatly eager young Bot who looked up to Cliffjumper for being a Bot who never gave up no matter what. Our last mission was also his final one..." Said Perceptor.

"I'm so sorry... He must have been a good Bot?" Lincoln said to the Autobot scientist.

"They really were," Perceptor said to them, and with Cliffjumper he did not like that he was on the same road with Beachcomber, they left the Autobots when they were so low on troops, to begin with when landing on Earth. He wished that other Bots were here, such as Inferno.

Cybertron 4.4 Million years ago

The same group of Autobots in their Cybertronian Alt modes were driving down a long and large tunnel way, leading the group was Ironhide with Jazz by his side. Cliffjumper and Inferno were in the middle of the group keeping guard. "The intel that Ultra Magnus gave us said that this Decepticon Energon storage was midway through this path. Keep your Optics on high alert."

"Roger!" Said all the Autobots, what they did not know they were being followed. "Hey, Cliffjumper, do you think there'll be some Cons there for us to blast." Said the voice of Inferno.

"I hope so, just not too many of them, I would blast a few stinking Cons in the face." Said Cliffjumper. "Just remember though kid, don't try to take on too many of them and you'll be-" Cliffjumper said before a large door had suddenly appeared midway through the group making six of them cut off from them. "What the Frag?!"

"Ironhide, Transform!" Ironhide said as he drove back to the new wall and turned into his robot mode to communicate with his men. "Mudflap, this is Ironhide, report!"

"Ironhide sir, we don't know what happened we were just driving and then the tunnel closed off on us-" The Autobot named Mudflap said before being cut off by the sound of laser firing. "Decepticons! There are Decepticons here! It is an ambush! I repeat it is an am- GAH!" Those were Mudflap's last words before being cut off. Just then their heard others coming their way.

Earth Present Day

As they were all driving with Optimus in the front, he had to slow down confusing the others behind him until they all also notice it, some trees had fallen in the middle of the road. Optimus then noticed where the tree came from and saw that the stump of the tree looked as if it was chopped down with a sharp point.

"Optimus Prime, Transform!" Optimus said as he switched out of his Alt mode to his robot mode and signaled the others to do the same. He then walked to the side of his trailer and pressed his hand on the side of it which made the back open to reveal heavy weapons were in the back along with the Mini-cons Over-Run and Sparkplug who dashed out. "Autobots, this tree didn't fall on its own, which means the enemy could be nearby."

"Hiss. That does not look right. Hiss." Said Sparkplug, well not really him but a recording of an earth radio that was now his voice.

"Happy that you can talk to us now buddy." Said Over-Run.

"Not good, we need to be ready for anything," Bumblebee said as he turns to Beachcomber. "Beach, I need you to take the humans to the town for their own safety, can you do that?"

"You bet I can Bee," said Beachcomber.

"Are you sure you want us to go?" Mari said to the Autobots, she looked like she did not really want to be separated from them. Deadlock then took a knee to get closer to her.

"Mari, I can see in your eye that you wish to see us in action, to fight, but we want to see you safe and we think it would before the best if you go with the-," Deadlock said as he then noticed something was heading towards them, he drew his sword and ran in front of Bumblebee, taking a defensive sword stance as lightning came from the woods, Deadlock swung his sword that clashes with the lightning catching it into the blade, he then stabbed the ground.

The Autobots then turned to where the attack came from and drew their weapons, ready to fire, what stepped out of the woods was a robotic-like figure, with black and purple armor and a yellow chest plat, along with on its shoulders looked like two curved blades with some electric energy on them. "My, aren't you skilled, skilled." Said the robot.

They all then heard the sound of something that landed on Optimus' trailer and all looked up to see two more, just like the other one along that one was larger and bulkier than the other and had what looked like a knight-themed helmet with what looked to be a cannon on it while the other looked slimmer with wings on their shoulders and had a pair of antenna on the sides of their head. "What the heck are those things?" Lily said as she was starting to get scared from this moment and started to hide behind Lincoln.

"Oh, were simple little travelers, which is all. All." said the one with bladed shoulders, repeating the last word they said.

"Hiss. Objection! Hiss. You attacked us, dude. Hiss" Sparkplug said as everyone had their weapons out, ready for a fight.

"Oh, that was an accident. Accident." They said with a large smile, it was clear that they were lying. "We bring you no harm. Harm."

Deadlock however was not pleased by their claims as he knew that they were lying. "Drop the act, Shrapnel." Deadlock said as the large bot now named Shrapnel changed and started to look surprised by the fact Deadlock knew him.

"You know him?" Bumblebee said to Deadlock.

"Yeah, before coming to earth I read up on a bounty hunter board and I heard that three Insecticons were taken into custody, Kickback, Bombshell, and Shrapnel. They overthrew an entire planet some time back." Deadlock said to the other Autobots before looking back to Shrapnel. "How did you three get free from captivity?"

"We were captured by a hunter named Lockdown, but then his ship ejected us before it crashed. Crashed." Shrapnel said as Lincoln whistled as he and the Autobots were the reason that happened.

"You will surrender, Insecticons!" Optimus said as he pointed his weapon at Shrapnel, all while Cliffjumper, Bumblebee, and Deadlock were pointing their weapons at The other Insecticons, Kickback and Bombshell.

The three Insecticons did not seem to care about the weapons being pointed at them and even started to laugh a little. "Do you think we'll just give up, NEVER! We are free now, and plus I think our new employer wouldn't like that we were gone." Said one of the Insecticons on the trailer. "Kickback, Terrorize!" Said the Insecticon and they changed their form to that of a large and robotic Grasshopper.

Kickback

-Insecticon

-Metal Grasshopper

-His kicking powers will send you flying

"Bombshell, Terrorize!" Said the second one named Bombshell with his deep and intimidating voice as they changed to that of a metallic Rhinoceros Beetle.

Bombshell

-Insecticon

-Metal Rhinoceros Beetle

-He forces others to do whatever he wants

"Shrapnel, Terrorize! Terrorize!" Shrapnel said as he changed into a large Stag beetle with sharp bladed horns.

Shrapnel

-Insecticon

-Metal Stag beetle

-Someone who enjoys shocking others a little too much

"What the- they turned into bugs- Oh right Insecticon, now the name makes sense," Mari said understanding why they were called that.

"Hiss. That is like shocking. Hiss." Said Sparkplug.

The fight then began with Shrapnel charging at Optimus, firing lighting at his weapon knocking it out all while Bombshell charged at both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper and crashed into them before going into the air, going back into robot mode to fall and land on them and Kickback went to the ground and charged at Deadlock and Perceptor.

The Mini-cons ran up to two of the Autobots, Over-Run ran up to Optimus and yelled: "Over-Run, Powerlinx!" and turned into a large laser rifle for Optimus and Sparkplug went to Bumblebee and did as what Over-Run did only the Audio was of both R.A. and Over-Run. "Hiss. Sparkplug, Hiss. Powerlinx. Hiss." And now they were on Bumblebee's arm as a yellow wriest mounted double-barrel cannon. "Hiss. Groovy. Hiss. Say hello to my little friend. Hiss."

Beachcomber then grabbed the humans and Transformed into his alt mode, the blue dune buggy, and began to drive off so they will not get hurt. "Let's get out of here, I'd actually don't want to be kidnapped a third time by evil robots," Lincoln said as Beachcomber managed to drive past the fallen tree.

"Strange, they turned into insects that don't have webbing, could there be more?" Isaac said to himself.

However, before they could even get more than fifteen feet past the tree, the sound of loud buzzing could be heard from a distance and then a blast was fired in front of Beachcomber forcing him to stop driving. They all looked to where the buzzing was coming from and saw something in the air, it looked to be a giant green wasp.

"Another one?!" Mari said as Beachcomber began to drive away again but was forced to stop as something was now under them, and then they were lifted into the air and thrown a short distance, and when they landed both Lincoln and Vincent fell out of the transformer. When they see what it was that threw them, they saw a huge red ant or a fire ant with silver mandibles.

"Giant ant, why-" Vincent said as he got back and started to pull something from his pocket. "-did it have to-" He then pulled out a human-sized laser pistol and aimed. "-be a GIANT ANT!" He said as he started to go ballistic on the thing which did not do any effect. "Well, I did what I could do."

"I think you've made it mad," Lincoln said the giant ant borrowed from its underground tunnel and started releasing fire from its mouth like a flamethrower. "AND IT HAS A FLAMETHROWER?!"

While the fighting was going on, with Optimus dodging lighting from Shrapnel, Deadlock blocking Kickback his... well his kicks, and both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper managing Bombshell due to him being having slow movements while in robot mode. Cliffjumper noticed the humans in trouble. "Oh no, Bee, do you think you can take on this Bombshell?" Cliffjumper asked Bumblebee.

"Sure, he isn't really that tough." Bumblebee said jokingly with Bombshell giving a loud 'HEY!' as that comment did hurt him a little, and to add insult to injury Sparkplug said "Hiss. Ha-ha. Hiss." To the Insecticon. But as Cliffjumper left, Bee did not know that this was part of Bombshell's little plan, well Cliffjumper getting away was just mainly dumb luck, but he still had a plan. He then charged at Bumblebee and the leader readied their Stinger to stun them, however, it was all a trick as Bombshell fired something from the horn of his head and it hit right onto Bumblebee's forehead.

Cliffjumper jumped over the fallen Tree and screamed: "Cliffjumper, Transform!" And then drove fast into the giant ant and sent it flying. "You guys alright?" Cliffjumper asked as Lincoln and Vincent were about to get back into Beachcomber until they saw that one of his tires was missing, must have fallen out when he was thrown by the giant ant.

"Foolizzh Autobot, you are facing the Insecticonzz, the mozzt mightiezzt warriorzz in the Prediconzz race, now face the wrath of Wazzpinator!" Said the giant green wasp as it got Cliffjumper's attention, big mistake. "Wazzpinator, Terrorize!" said the bug named Waspinator, their abdomen split into a two-piece and looked like legs, their chest opened up to release a pair of arms with the wasp legs on them and the head-splitting in two and formed on the chest and what came out was an insectoid-like head, green like his body and color purple eyes. "Now face Wazzpi-" They said before Cliffjumper pulled out a canon the size of their arm and fired it at Waspinator blowing them up and sending them flying.

Waspinator

-Insecticon

-Wasp

-Do not worry he will be fine, he survived worse

Waspinator Owned Counter: 1 (Yes we are doing this now)

Cliffjumper then turned to the humans, with Lily pulling out from her pocket a large red button with EASY written on it and pressed it with it saying: "That was easy." Beachcomber had to transform into his robot mode to get his wheel back on.

Back when the fight was still happening, Perceptor and Deadlock were fighting Kickback who the leader was throwing kicks at them with them even using them to block Deadlock's sword, how? And with Optimus, he was managing Shrapnel easily, his hand changed his hand into some sort of energy and his hand changed into a blade and used it to catch the lightning and then fires his laser weapon in his other hand to hit Shrapnel in the gut area and knocking them down. "GAH! BLAST! BLAST!"

Optimus walked up to Shrapnel and pointed the weapon at them. "It is over Shrapnel; you will surrender and face the crimes you've committed-" Optimus said before he felt a sharp pain in his back and was stunned. He could not move, he was stunned, he was in stasis lock. He knows what this was, he was hoping that this was not true, the one who did this to him walked past him, it was Bumblebee with his eyes glowing red and holding a gun in his hand. Sparkplug out of his Powerlinx and going up to him pounding at his leg like he was trying to make him stop.

Bee's hand was shaking, it was like he is trying to hold back and not harm him, but he could not and fired at him and shot him at his side three times putting a hole on his side, everyone heard the shots and look to see what had happened. When the stasis lock wore off Optimus fell over. Over-Run and Sparkplug ran to Optimus to help him.

Shrapnel was trying to get back up but then felt something, it was a pain but something, he turned around and saw a small robotic spider-like robot the size of a small tiger, it had a green diamond symbol with spider legs and eyes. "Shrapnel, return to base, you can stop searching now." said the voice from the robot who sounded rough and like a full-time smoker.

"Search? Search?" Shrapnel said confused.

"The search for our missing crewmate, they are still missing but they are not in this area." The voice said with them sounding annoyed and when Shrapnel did not respond, the voice just said. "Oh, for the love of Primus, have you all been wandering around causing trouble this whole time- You know what don't just get back here."

The robot then started to wander off and Shrapnel rose from the ground and shouted. "Alright, we're heading back!" He said as he turned back into his Insect Alt mode and flew away with Kickback and Bombshell doing the same and leaving along with Bumblebee running through the forest.

"Bumblebee! Where are you going!" Deadlock screamed as his friend was getting away and he chose to follow him and Perceptor going to Optimus to help him. Cliffjumper ran to also follow Bumblebee however something had grabbed him from below and dragged him under.

Cybertron 4.4 Million Years Ago

Blast after blast of lasers was being fired in every direction in the tunnel with eight Autobots in a corridor from being hit while the other Autobots were not there. Two of them were lying down on the ground as they looked injured with one of them looking to be Jazz and needed help just to get up and both Ironhide, Cliffjumper and Inferno were firing back at them to keep the others safe while Perceptor was deeper down the corridor that was closed off but was trying to get it open.

"Ironhide, I can't reach any of the others, I don't think-" Said an Autobot who was cut from the sound of an explosion going off, they all turned to see that Perceptor had tried to use an explosive that did a number on the door but was still standing.

"Just hold the ground until we are ready to leave men, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker will carry Jazz and Hound as we escape, Cliffjumper and Inferno, you bot helps me give cover fire as we-" Ironhide said before something hit a wall, it was not a laser but a ball shaped object, a bomb that went off.

Ironhide was quick and used his armor ability to take less damage, but Cliffjumper and Inferno took a heavy hit. Perceptor finally got the door down and told everyone to get ready, two Autobots picked up the injured and carried them as Ironhide and Cliffjumper picked up their weapons and fired, while Inferno was struggling to get back up. "Cliffjumper... help!" Inferno said as Cliffjumper was running to him, but they did not notice it, the second bomb that was thrown at them and exploded, this time higher and closer to the ceiling, the blast knocked Cliffjumper back a few feet, but inferno was just knocked back to the ground again.

If only that was the worst of it as when he tried to get back up, the ceiling began to collapse and the last thing the young Autobot did was look up to see debris from above fall and landing on top of him not covering but crushing them. "INFERNO!" Cliffjumper said as he ran towards them again to try and help them, but Ironhide stopped them. "SIR! WE NEED TO HELP HIM-"

"He's gone Cliff, I'm sorry but we need to get out of here." Ironhide said as he had to drag Cliffjumper out of there with the Decepticons closing in on them, with Cliffjumper saying that he might be still active, but eventually having no choice but to just admitting that they were gone.

Earth Present Day

Cliffjumper fell deep into the hole all because of a large bug, the humiliation, he now wants to add giant bugs to his list of things he hates. As he was getting up, he could not see anything as it was dark, he did feel like he was begging dragged more than just down and in a deep tunnel, but he felt something, warmth, like from fire. Cliffjumper then saw something, wait he can see something, a light. "Is... is that a light?" Cliffjumper said surprised.

"WALK TOWARDS IT!" Screamed a voice as the light was coming at Cliffjumper but it was not a normal light but fire, flames were coming at them and Cliffjumper began to run off and saw something another tunnel and jumped in it to avoid the flames. He then saw what it was causing the charging flames as he saw the same Fire ant from before charging with flames coming out from between the silver mandibles, and Cliffjumper pulled out another weapon and fired it at the bud covering it in a blue liquid. "GAH!" The bug steamed as the flames started to die out.

"Hydro cannon, can't use any flames while you're soaked." Cliffjumper said as he leaped at the bug to tackle it, but what he did not expect was that this thing was much stronger than him physically as it picked him up and threw him down yet another tunnel. "Ah, how many of these tunnels did this bug make?"

"Oh, I don't think of them as tunnels," The fire ant said as it began to change shape, just like Waspinator, abdomen split into a two-piece and looked like legs, their chest opened up to release a pair of arms with the ant legs on them and the head-splitting in two and formed on the chest and what came out was an insectoid-like head, unlike his red body it was silver and had red eyes. "I see them as your grave, traitor!"

"Traitor? I don't even know who you are?" Cliffjumper said as he threw a punch at them, but the Insecticon grabbed his punch, threw their own punch, and sent them to a wall and proceeded to beat them down. Once they stopped, they kicked them to their side. "Okay, now that hurt."

"You don't even know who I am, do you?" said the Fire ant. Cliffjumper did not know, he just met them and how was he supposed to know. "How could you forget me... I was once one of you," The Insecticon said as he picked Cliffjumper back up and punched him in the face. "I was once on your side!" They said throwing other punch, they then pulled out weapon that released flames, like a flame-throwing pistol. "I am Inferno!"

Inferno

-Insecticon

-Red Fire Ant

-Burns with a vengeance

Cliffjumper's optics were wide, was this real? A trick? A lie? Was this real Inferno? It could not be he was gone, that is what was going through Cliffjumper's mind, it could not be him it had to be a lie. "You- Inferno are gone, he's offline- This is- this is unforgivable lie you-" As they said that they were punched yet again, this time fell to the floor and had a weapon pointed at them.

"Oh, but I am Inferno, maybe this will prove who I am, back at Iacon 4.4 million years ago I saved you from a Decepticon from blasting you from behind and in our last mission, you left me for scrap!" Inferno was about to fire his weapon but was stopped at they were hit by a car.

It was Beachcomber who had followed Cliffjumper to save him. He picked him up and started to drive off. "Go on, run, the next time I see you I'll burn you down, you hear me?! I will burn you down!" Inferno screamed, knowing they would hear him, he then transformed and walked down the other end of the tunnel.

Beachcomber exited from the same hole that Cliffjumper was dragged into, he was known as a map make because of a sonic map device he owns that could make any map easily even if it was a set of tunnels and Cliffjumper did have a tracker on him, so it was easy finding him.

He laid him down on the ground to see that he was beaten up but did look fine. "Are you alright?" Beachcomber asked Cliffjumper, who just did not know how to answer after everything that has happened to him.
