Last Time: The Autobots were searching for a pod from the Fallen Knight, the ship of Lockdown, and met Isaac and Beachcomber, but not long after ran into the Insecticons, giant bug robots and after the fight they took Bumblebee and one of them was a former Autobot named Inferno.

Cybertron, 4.4 Million years ago

In an abandoned tunnel, there was a tone of damages everywhere with the walls covered in burns, two robotic figures walk over to a pile of rubble and saw that something was moving and removed the pile to find a heavily damaged Inferno. "Help..." Inferno pleaded without knowing those to whom he was talking.

"Check it Flywheel, it is an Autobot." said one of the figures, with the lighting showing that they were Decepticons.

"Nice find Tailwind, should we finish it off?" Said one of the Decepticons named Flywheel while the other was named Tailwind.

"Not yet, go get Storm Cloud, you know he'll get upset if he doesn't get to have any fun too." Said the Decepticon named Tailwind as the other walked away and Tailwind got closer. "Don't worry, we'll put you out of your misery, eventually, not soon of course but you'll understand that we're just looking to have some fun and-" Tailwind said before he stopped he heard something he looked to where Flywheel walked off to but was knocked down as several small green dart-like objects hit them in the chest and then they fell.

Someone was then walking into the light, Inferno could see them, they had a female form and was covered in black armor and in their hands looked to be some sort of staff in their hand which looked green and one side of it was releasing some green gas from it. "Well, aren't you a good-looking young bot, you'll be perfect for my work." Said the figure before pointing the staff at Inferno and firing some sort of dart at him and knocking them out.

When Inferno woke up, they were inside some sort of chamber full of a green liquid and tubes and wires connected to him, he tried to look around, but every movement was painful, but he did see her again, the figure that knocked him out. She turned to look right at him in the face and press a single button without even a moment of warning.

The liquid started to change to red and a blue liquid entered him via the tubes and if he was not in pain before, he was in agony now. His body started to change, it was almost shifting, changing, and growing like he was about to pop like a balloon. His body then started to shiver like a grape drying into a raisin.

The pain then finally stopped and Inferno then looked towards the figure who he thought moved closer to him as they were right in front of the chamber but when he raised his hands he saw that they changed, looking almost to an insect-like pair of hands and moved them to his face and realizes that what he sees isn't the figure but rather himself as that is his reflection, this is how Inferno became an Insecticon.

The chamber then opened, and Inferno fell out of it, he felt weak too weak that he could not even raise up to stand or use his arms to get himself up but just could not even. He then felt the eyes of someone watching them, he then turned his head to see the same figure watching him. "Well now, I see that it worked and that you're still alive, don't worry I'll make sure you'll be staying alive too."

"W...Why did you do this?" Inferno said they did not even know just how much his voice had changed from the experiment.

"I did this because I needed to evaluate this experiment and good news for you, you're the first test subject to survive." Said the figure as they walked up to them and picked them up to hold and put them on bed rest. "Oh, right my name is Antagony by the way."

Inferno just could not understand why all of this was happening to him, why he was left for scrap and near deactivation, to being taken by a strange being named Antagony and then painfully turned into an overgrown bug. One part of him blamed one bot, however, Cliffjumper, he left him behind, he did not even try and help him and left him for scrap.

Earth, Present day

It has been ten or a few minutes since the encounter the Insecticons, Optimus was shot in the side by Bumblebee and then taken by the Insecticons, but luckily they had help, Ratchet who managed to come in time to help and had R.A. along with them to help, they would be the only backup as the others were too busy and only Mini-Cons were all that were left at the base.

The humans, Lincoln and Lily Loud, Mari, Isaac, and Vincent Witwicky were watching what was happening, they were worried for Optimus but knew he was well cared for as Ratchet may be the only medic in Optimus group but from what Ratchet has told them he is the best medic out of all the Autobots.

As for the other Autobots, Over-Run and Sparkplug were taking a closer look at both Beachcomber and Cliffjumper, the ladder of which looked as if he was panicking. Cliffjumper was processing something, a fact. The Insecticon from earlier said they were his friend Inferno, but that could not be true, Inferno was gone. It could not be him.

"Cliffjumper," Beachcomber said as he placed his hand on their shoulder which made them jump, he looked back at them looking confused but not Beachcomber's fault because of what Cliffjumper had experienced. "Are you alright?" Cliffjumper just did not answer. "Guess not."

"Bumblebee, come in?" Lincoln said as he was trying to contact Bumblebee over his communicator. "Bumblebee, come on, where are you?" Lincoln kept on trying but nothing.

"Bumblebee went with them, why?" Mari asked as she paced back and forth. "Could it be some sort of hypnosis, no, that Insecticon, Bombshell, he fired something at his head could it be a Cerebral-controlling devise?" Mari said surprising Lincoln with what she was saying, when he asked her how she knew that she said: "Surprised? Just because I'm a wildcard doesn't mean I don't hit the books from time to time, that and I enjoy science fiction movies."

Lincoln did not want to question it more and dropped but was still worried about Bumblebee. Sparkplug goes up to him. Using his radio voice to talk to him. "Hiss. I miss them too, son, I miss them too. Hiss."

The others then saw that Optimus was slowly getting back up. Vincent ran to him to see that his side was slightly damaged, it may have been a good thing that Bumblebee was carrying a weapon that was not too powerful and that Optimus was tougher than any metal. "Prime! How are you feeling?"

"Just Prime," Optimus said as he got back up, Ratchet did try to make him go slow so he would not strain himself. "Bumblebee?"

"Missing, the Insecticons had taken him." Ratchet said as helped them up. "Deadlock went after them, and he hasn't been back since. Hope he gets back. And as for you, you should take it easy Optimus, you took three shots to the side and-"

"One of our own is missing, I will not take it easy," Optimus said as he got back up, he showed no sign of backing down or stopping, no pain or fear was slowing him down. Ratchet still stayed next to him to make sure he was really alright, and impressively he was.

Cliffjumper paid no attention as he was still processing what had happened, Inferno, was that really Inferno, it could not have been. He then looked at his hands, as if he were questioning what he has been doing this whole time, his friend was gone wasn't he?

"Cliffjumper, you seem troubled, what happened?" Perceptor asked as he walked up to his teammate, who was having a tough time thinking of what to say. Before Perceptor could talk again, he heard someone coming, it was Deadlock who had returned.

"Sir, Optimus Prime, I had followed the Insecticons for a brief time, but I lost their trail and they still had Bumblebee." Deadlock said lowering his head in shame.

"Don't beat yourself up Deadlock, you still tried-" Optimus said before Cliffjumper got up.

"He should have tried harder!" They all looked to see that Cliffjumper started to have a look of panic that started to grow before, just like Mari, started to pace back and forth. "He should have tried harder to help, he shouldn't have just given up, we should have." He then started to repeat himself, he was muttering 'we should have.' then started to 'I should have.' over and over like a broken record.

The others were thinking about what to do until Ratchet then walked up to him and looked him straight in the optics right before slapping him in the face. "Augh! What the- Doc, what was-"

"You need to calm down, what is wrong?" Ratchet asked with Cliffjumper looking uncertain as to what to say. "C'mon soldier, let out what's going," Ratchet asked again, this time seeming more caring and concerned for them.

"One of the Insecticons, they claimed to be a former Autobot named Inferno," Cliffjumper said surprising the Autobots, mostly Perceptor. "I know it doesn't seem right, and I don't know if it's true-"

"It can't be true," Perceptor said as he walked up to them. "They had to have been lying to catch you off guard or they shared the same name," Perceptor said trying to think of logical explanations as to what is going on. "I know a way to see if they are really them or not if I could just get some-" Perceptor said before noticing that Beachcomber on a small amount of green goo on him, and asked, "Beachcomber, what is that."

"Huh?" Beachcomber said as he looked himself over and noticed the goo. "Oh, I guess when I hit that Insecticon some of his bodily fluids... I don't want to know just what this is, got on me." Beachcomber said as Perceptor started to take some of the goo on a disk and then transformed into his alt mode of a giant microscope.

"Alright, let's see just who they are," Perceptor said as he looked at the sample. "Ha-ha, look that doesn't- wait no, that isn't right. Is this mutated... it is. This is all- no wait." Perceptor said adding tension to everything. "This goo has Cybertronian code in it, it seems to be mutated somehow, but by calculating it I managed to remake it, reversing the mutation in a database, it does have the DNA of Inferno."

Cliffjumper just did not know what else to say, it was Inferno, how? "This can't be happening; it has to all be some sort of twisted nightmare-" Cliffjumper was stopped as Ratchet once again slapped him.

"Ratchet, slapping him doesn't really help." Said Lincoln.

"Helps for me." Said the Autobot medic.

Cliffjumper just looked more distorted over the matter, someone who he left on the battlefield is back from being thought to be long gone and was back trying to take him out and a large part of him felt like he deserves it. Deadlock then walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Seek for forgiveness."

"Huh?" Cliffjumper then seemed confused.

"Seek for forgiveness. This Inferno, I don't know what it is that you did to them, but it is clear you a full of regret for it." Deadlock said to Cliffjumper.

"Of course, I am full of regret! I LEFT THEM FOR SCRAP!" Cliffjumper said as the guilt was overwhelming for him if he had normal eyes, he would be crying them out. "I should have saved them! Helped them! ANYTHING! I DON'T KNOW EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO?!"

Deadlock was a little lost for words, but he still placed his hand on their shoulder. "It is hard, but what happened to your friend, it was out of your hands, you couldn't have known what had happened to them. You cannot let this harm you forever. Try and seek forgiveness, by going to Inferno and talking to them." Deadlock said to him.

"... you're right," Cliffjumper said as he raised his head up, Deadlock was giving him some solid advice. "I need to see them again; I need to face them. Thank you Deadlock."

"You know, with a name like Deadlock, it doesn't make him sound like an Autobot," Mari said stepping forward. "Do you think we can change your name?"

"Change my name? I never did plan to change it, but I did have one name in mind, you told me that my Alt mode is highly popular for Drift racing, correct?" Deadlock asked with Mari nodding her head. "Then I will call myself from this point onward, Drift."

Drift

-Autobot

-Nissan Silvia S15

-Once a vile Decepticon, now an honorable Autobot

"Alright then Drift, any ideas where they went before you lost them?" Over-Run asked but who answered was not the newly named Drift, but Beachcomber.

"Actually, when I was underground, I managed to use a sonic sonar map and the end result was this," Beachcomber said as a hologram appeared from his hand which showed what looked to be a set of underground tunnels, from the Insecticons but all of them lead to one area a large underground dome-like area. "I'm not a betting bot but how much you want to bet that's where they're staying at?"

Optimus was then handed the map made by Beachcomber, which had to be where they were heading and now was going for the offensive against the Insecticons. "Ratchet, contact any of the Autobots who are not on a mission, we'll need all the help we can get." Optimus then turned to the other Autobots and said to them; "Autobots, Transform and Roll out!"

Elsewhere, underground, there was a giant spaceship hidden underground. It looked like a giant Tortoise Beetle. The only light source is coming from the ship, it was glowing as if it was radioactive or something.

Outside of the ship, there was the Insecticons Bombshell, Shrapnel, Kickback, and Waspinator were getting yelled at by someone, they looked to be covered in a purple smooth armor that looked organic, they had what looked like a scorpion tail but had the tip of a blade with the blade looking lime green and instead of hands, they had what looked to be scorpion pincers. The last thing was of their head which had a purple helmet and orange visor over their eyes. One thing about him was that he was around the same size as Optimus Prime. "What do you mean you idiots couldn't find her!"

"We mean we couldn't find her; she was nowhere in the area." Kickback said sounding smug until he got punched in the face. "OW! WHAT THE SCRAP!"

"You think this is a joke or something, this is serious! We are low on troops and can't afford to lose anyone!" Said the scorpion.

"Calm yourself Scorponok, the stress won't be good for you. You." Shrapnel said before also getting punched in the face.

"Quite all of you!" Said the Insecticon named Scorponok.

Scorponok

-Insecticon

-Scorpion

-A sinister foe with a toxic stinger

"How dumb are you, idiots?!" Scorponok said as he was just full of fury, he then out of nowhere punched Waspinator.

"Ow, pleazze don't hurt Wazzpinator."

"Why don't you ever yell at Inferno," Bombshell asks expecting a punch that never came.

"Because he always takes his tasks seriously, unlike you idiots," Scorponok said as he looked at Bumblebee, he was a little discussed that someone is using a name that would be better for an Insecticon rather than an Autobot. "Augh, worthless, if Antagony was here I would have let her do whatever she would want to do to you, I guess I'll just leave you with Tarantulas."

"You mean that psycho?" Kickback said as he was getting back up.

"Correct," Scorponok said as he started to walk off. As he was walking to the ship he was met by another figure, they were purple armor with yellow marking and green shoulders and spider legs on their arms. "What do you want Tarantulas?"

Tarantulas

-Insecticon

-Spider (Ironically not a Tarantula)

-Mad scientist who takes joy in harming others

"I want to talk about why we are looking for Antagony? She left us." Tarantulas asked with Scorponok looking annoyed.

"We need all the forces we can get, the only reason we helped those three idiots were because we were just looking for Waspinator and that they were Insecticons." Said Scorponok.

"They are nothing but a joke, we don't really need them." Said Tarantulas.

"That isn't your choice to make Tarantulas, we need all the troops we can get, we're low with them and we could need all the help we can get." Scorponok said as he once again tried to walk away, but Tarantulas just could not keep quiet and said: "And we are low on troops because you and that Predicon Glitch, who got our original crew scraped." Scorponok then charged at Tarantulas and grabbed him by his neck with their pincers.

"AGH! W-WAIT I DIDN'T-" Tarantulas couldn't speak much more as Scorponok squeezed his throat harder, stopping him from speaking. "AGH!"

"You will shut up! Don't you dare ever speak to me like that ever-" Scorponok said with so much uncontrollable anger, he was like a raging beast at that point.

"Scorponok! Stop, he didn't mean any harm!" Said the voice of someone else. The Insecticon looked to the side to see two other figures, one was a slim woman figure with golden and black armor and spider legs on their arms and the other figure was another bot but they didn't look to be an Insecticon as they looked a bit smaller but bulker with spikes on their arms and back with everything on them being pitch black or dark purple, they also seemed to be the one who spoke out.

Scorponok then looked back at Tarantulas and let them go and walk off. "Be lucky that Skold convinced me to let you go, but if you speak out of term again, I will have your head." He walked into another room with the other figure following him. They were then in a large room that might be the control room of the ship with a captain seat in the center of the room and Scorponok then sat down. "Uh, this is just stressful, Blackarachnia, please tell me you have good news."

"Well, the repairs to the ship are now finished and we are good to go, and Skold found enough Energon for the ship's engines and leftover for us not to lose power." Said the one named Blackarachnia.

Blackarachnia

-Insecticon

-Spider

-Rebellious soul with no care

"Good work then and thank you Skold for finding the Energon." Said Scorponok with the other Predicons named Skold trying to explain that it was not all her doing as Blackarachnia helped but kept stuttering and sounded nervous, making it was hard to understand them.

Skold

-Predicon

-Black snapping Turtle

-Nervous turtle but can snap with violence

"Skold, calm yourself and take some time before you speak, I can't understand a single word you're stealing," Scorponok said as he placed a hand- well pincer on his head showing that he was not wanting to talk.

"S-sorry, anyway, we-we can soon leave and find an a-another new location to continue our search-" Skold said before Blackarachnia stopped her.

"I don't think we should keep on looking for her, she left us without letting us know where she went off to and it would just be a waste of resources to look for her," Blackarachnia said before continuing her point. "Think about it, all she ever did was get us Inferno as a soldier, but she never trusted us, plus we still have those three idiots, give it time and they'll follow you without question."

Scorponok did think this over, before answering. "Alright, you make a good point, but..." Scorponok said to his crew before getting back up. "This planet does seem to be almost like Eukaris, the only difference seems to be no flying islands, this would make a suitable place for making a long-term base."

"That sounds like a great idea, Sir," Skold said while Blackarachnia had another idea but could not really say out as it would be like stepping out of line and kept to herself to avoid Scorponok's wrath she has seen him the first hand when he was angry.

"Until we're ready to leave this area finish getting any Energon that might be left here and then we'll-" Scorponok said before a blast could be heard and the three ran out of the room and they make it outside of the ship to see where the blast came from, it was the Autobots, Optimus Prime, Cliffjumper, Drift, and, Perceptor along with four other Autobots, Wheeljack, Ironhide, Chromia, and Arcee.

Scorponok looked annoyed and yelled: "Insecticons, terrorize and Swarm them!" As he said this something came out from the back of his head and it covered it, making it seem he was wearing a purple cone-shaped helmet with normal-looking eyes but still had insect features.

"Transform and roll out sounds better." Said Ironhide as everyone then charged at them with Perceptor standing behind. When both sides collide, Optimus faced Scorponok, with Optimus turning his hands into energy blades, with both being short swords.

Ironhide was facing Bombshell who the ladder tried to charge at them, but Ironhide was much stronger. With both Shrapnel and a mind-controlled Bumblebee going up behind them, ready for an attack with Shrapnel ready to shock them and Bumblebee ready to sting him. In just a matter of a second, a laser blast was shot and had landed the hit on Bombshell's head, blasting off the antenna on his head. "My-my antenna!"

After that moment, Bumblebee's eyes went to looking normal and the object on his head fell off, and not even hesitating stings Shrapnel instead, and once they were stung, he threw a punch at them as he remembered everything that he was doing while under their control and was mad.

Drift went to face Kickback, who just like in their last fight was using his kicks as his weapons and was still good at blocking his swords. Their movements were swift with Kickback using mostly power in his attacks while Drift was using his speed and persisted movements.

Wheeljack was facing Tarantulas, the two were using different weapons such as Tarantulas using was looked like a golden crossbow-like gun firing a small missile while Wheeljack fired his own missile from his shoulder-mounted cannon and both missiles exploded on contact. Tarantulas then threw a small orb object and Wheeljack threw his own object that released an electromagnetic shock and blew up the orb, and finally, the two pulled out melee weapons, with Tarantulas having what looked like a barbaric sword while Wheeljack had looked like an electrical baton and collided their weapons.

Arcee was facing Blackarachnia with her dual-wielding swords while Blackarachnia was using mostly her movements to evade the swings and used her spider legs to fire lasers from them and even throwing a spider web at her with Arcee using her swords to cut the webs.

With Chromia she was facing Skold, using a bow staff that was her size, and battled Skold, while fighting she asked this, "Why are you with them, aren't they called the Insecticons?"

"I-I have been working for Scorponok f-for the longest time, and I will always help him." She said to her, with her voice stuttering. She blocked every hit Chromia tried to land but Skold used the spikes on their arms which glow a dark purple color with every hit. "Skold, terrorize!" Said Skold as they changed into a pitch-black spiked back snapping turtle confusing Chromia but then released a blast of purple energy from their mouth sending Chromia away. "Ha-ha, my shell can absorb energy and I can even emit it too."

Chromia then got back up and was ready to attack but she did not go for the shell she went for Skold's head and smacked it. Scorponok then saw this and left his fight with Optimus and ran towards Chromia and attacked her by throwing a punch and sending her flying, Optimus then tried to slash at him, but he grabbed Skold and used her shell like a shield and pushed back Optimus.

Scorponok then put Skold on his back and lowed himself with Skold facing Optimus, they seemed like a cannon now, and they did fire a blast of energy at Optimus, but he easily blocked used his swords. "You dare attack us! My Insecticons!" Scorponok said to Optimus.

"You have attacked us first and took one of our own, you will be stopped before you become a major threat to us all!" Optimus said with him carefully and swiftly attacked with his sword hands to slash at the scorpion Insecticon who used both his claws and tail's stinger to slash and attack Optimus.

"Technically it was those three idiots when I wanted things to be stealth but yeah, we would have attacked you Bots anyway," Scorponok said as he kept up his assault. "Now get ready to die, Autobot!"

While everyone was fighting with the Insecticons, one Autobot was not looking for a fight but was looking for someone, Inferno, he then saw them near the ship and drove at them. Waspinator then saw Cliffjumper and try to block his path. "Wazzpinator will zztop you Autobot, I will ta-" Waspinator said before he was hit and ran over by Cliffjumper who kept on driving. "Ow!"

Waspinator Owned Counter: 2

Inferno saw him and thought he was charging at him and fired his weapon at him, but Cliffjumper evaded the attack and kept his charge at them and once he was close enough, he transformed into Robot mode and stopped in front of Inferno.

"Cliffjumper! You traitor, I will take you down!" Inferno said ready to fire at them.

"Inferno, wait!" Cliffjumper said to Inferno who was ready to fire at them but stopped as Cliffjumper dropped his weapon and pleaded with them. "Please let me explain," Cliffjumper said as he asked with Inferno only slightly lowering his weapon. "I am so sorry for what happened to you," Cliffjumper said before Inferno smacked him across his face with his weapon.

"You're Sorry?!" Inferno said as he placed his weapon to his face again. "Do you have any idea what I have through because of you! The pain from the changes and the fear of being a monster forever until the end of time. This is all your fault!"

"I know, and I do deserve what happens to me now," Cliffjumper said catching the attention of Inferno once again. "I know I will never understand what you've been through but I do feel pain for what I've done, for leaving you behind and not saving you, I regret that day, every day for the past 4 million years of never having the chance to save you, I am so sorry and if the only way for you to forgive me is to just be melted to scrap, then just do it then, I don't care anymore."

Inferno kept the weapon to his head, one part of him wanted to fire and set them ablaze painfully but he did not, he could see the pain in his face and hear it in his voice, he just could not do it. Inferno then tossed his weapon and stepped away from Cliffjumper. "I-I can't do it... It is unfair what happened to me but... it was out of your control; I can't hate you Cliffjumper."

"I will never fully forgive myself for what I did Inferno and I know you won't either, but please come back with us, Wheeljack and Perceptor, they can help you, we can help you. Come back to the Autobots, come back to us and we can help you. Said Cliffjumper.

"I...I can't, I have done some things I will never forgive myself for doing either and I don't think I can rejoin you all not yet... someday with hope I will." Inferno said as he was beginning to walk away.

Back at the fight, Scorponok was still using Skold like a cannon firing at most of the Autobots, the other Autobots were doing better with Wheeljack, Ironhide, and Bumblebee had taken down the Insecticons they were facing while Arcee and Drift were still on equal footing in their own fight but Perceptor using a sniper rifle fired at Kickback in the chest knocking them down.

While firing a nothing shot, Skold could feel that she was losing power. "Sir, I think I'm almost out on juice."

Scorponok then lowered Skold to the ground. "Don't worry, I can get you more energy by pounding on your shell with the force of my punches easily," Scorponok explained but was stopped as Chromia dashed past them and placed a disc object on her shell which explodes and sends Scorponok away from Skold who was sent flying and crashed into Blackarachnia. Scorponok could now see that the fight was a lost one and he yelled. "Everyone falls back now!"

The Insecticons then switched to their Insect alt modes to get away from them fast and still fired back while retreating. The Autobots did try and go after them, but the ship auto-defense systems activated, and small bumps came out from the sides of the ship and fired lasers at them forcing them to evade and stop following them.

The Insecticons all made it back on board and once they got on the ship started to act up, even though it was underground it could easily get out by justifying as it was not too deep as the surface of the cave was only around 20 ft. They had gotten above ground in under a minute and flew into the sky to get away from the Autobots.

"Cowards!" Ironhide yelled as they all regrouped as the Insecticons left.

Outside not too far from the cave, Lincoln and Lily Loud, Mari, Vincent, and Isaac Witwicky along with the Mini-Cons Sparkplug, Over-Run, and Red Alert, and both Ratchet and Beachcomber were all not too far from where the Insecticons base was, and they all saw the ship flying away. "Um, should we worry about that?" Mari asked with no one answering.

"We should all be worried for what may be to come." Said the voice of Optimus as they and the other Autobots all came out of nowhere into the view of the humans. Lincoln was excited and full of joy to see his friend Bumblebee, running up to them to see how they were. "It's a good thing that we now know about the Insecticons, we'll have to stay more on guard than we have before."

"Optimus," Bumblebee said as he walked up to the Autobot leader with his face showing guilt. "I am so sorry for what had happened, I wasn't in control of myself and-"

"It is alright old friend," Optimus said to Bumblebee to make him feel at ease. "I know you were never in control of yourself, and I know you would never harm another Autobot willingly."

"Thank you, Optimus." Said Bumblebee as he felt the guilt of what he did to him removed.

As everyone was talking about what had happened, Drift had walked up to Cliffjumper to ask them how they were. "Cliffjumper, are you alright?"

"I don't really know; I feel like I've failed at helping him and trying to save him then and now. I wish I can just go back in time and save him instead of leaving him for scrap," said Cliffjumper.

"We all wish we could do that, go back and try to stop ourselves to change the past for the better but we can't, we just need to accept the past for what had happened and live life, knowing that we went through them." Drift said to him in hopes to cheer him up and a part of it did work.

"Yeah, I'll keep on living then, thanks Drift."

"Drift?" Bumblebee said confused.

"Oh, Deadlock changed his name to Drift as it sounds better than a Decepticon name," Beachcomber said to Bumblebee to catch him up to speed.

"I think that's a pretty cool name!" Said Lily.

"Yeah, it was a pleasant change, better than Deadlock really." Said Lincoln.

"Yeah, I never really did like that name, to begin with anyway. Hahaha." Drift said as started to laugh a little nervously.

"Alright, now Autobots, let's go back to the Ark and rest, and send the humans home, it has been a long day for us all," Optimus said as the other Autobots agreed to that, it was a long day for them, and it was close to sunset.

"Yeah, I need to pick Stella up from the movies too," said Chromia.

"And I could really go for a round at the car wash, just to get all the dirt off," Arcee said as she clapped her hands, and a cold of dirt and dust came from them.

"What's wrong with having dirt on yeah?" Ironhide said as a joke and with some of the Autobots either rolling their eyes or laughing at him joking. Ironhide then turned to see that Optimus was still looking up, he must have had the same feeling of knowing that the Insecticons would return someday, most of the Autobots knew that. "The number of threats we are facing in this world just keeps getting bigger, huh?" Ironhide said quietly to make sure the humans did hear what they were saying.

"I'm afraid you're right, and a part of me thinks we are to blame," Optimus said surprising Ironhide. "I know it is hard to believe but if we were not in this world then none of this would have happened."

"You don't know that Optimus, for all we know this world could have gotten much worse without us." Ironhide said as he turned to the humans and other Autobots as they were getting ready to return to the Ark. "Without us, who knows how terrible things could have gotten for them."

"You're right Ironhide, we are needed to protect this world, for as long as we are here we must treat this world as our home too along with the humans," Optimus said as both he and Ironhide went with the other Autobots and a ground bridge opening to take them back to the ark, all except for Beachcomber and Isaac as they needed to get back to town.

While going back to the Ark, both Mari and Drift decided to head back to Royal Woods as they were planning to join a race later tonight. Vincent left the room to go back to his own car to drive back to a military base. The other Autobots went to get a medical check-up with Bumblebee just getting a quick one so Lincoln and Lily could go home sooner.

While waiting for Bumblebee Lincoln thought of calling Ronnie Anne, Clyde, and Raoul to see how they were, he readied his communicator to call them, however, they would not pick up.

In Alaska, the Land of the Midnight Sun, or the Last Frontier. It is always cold and snow due to it being close to close to the top of the world and is just one of the coldest places on the planet. In the middle of a forest area, with paper birch trees all over, making both the ground and the area covered in what looked to be never-ending white.

On the ground was an injured Blaster along with him were an equally damaged and injured Rewind, Eject, Sundor, Steeljaw, and one red Mini-Con with what looked to be helicopter blades on their back with them facing down.

Deeper in the forest a little away from where Blaster was, both Ronnie Anne, Raoul, and Clyde were hiding behind a fallen tree that was large enough to hide them, there were wearing proper winter gear of heavy jackets and pants to keep them all warm in the coldest of winter days, the three were from Michigan so the cold is not a joking matter for them.

Clyde seemed to be shaking but it looked like he was doing so out of fear rather than being cold while both Ronnie Anne and Raoul were looking ready for something, they still had a little fear in their eyes as they without a doubt knew they didn't stand a ghost of a chance to what every they would be facing as it was what took down Blaster and his Mini-Cassettes without any issue of their own, so they knew deep down that if they faced whatever it was they would be doomed.

"Where are you, humans? It is safe to come out." Said a voice that they easily remembered as it belonged to whoever it was who took down Blaster. Ronnie Anne pulled out a pocket mirror from her pocket to use to look at whatever it was they were facing, there was still sun in the sky even if the sun were setting and could see what they were running from.

They had a large robotic body covered in white armor with some red marking on them, they also had on their back that looked like a jetpack and wings, and their face has a single horizontal red visor on it, being the eyes of them, and the most bone-chilling thing about them was that they have the Decepticon symbol on them. "Don't worry, I'm not your enemy it is safe to come out, you can trust me, I swear it."

They did not believe them for a second.
