ER, hello there, MoneyMan538 here. I'm new to the whole thing so I don't know much on how to do this. This is going to be a MLP and Transformers fanfiction. I plan on writing this on my free time and will see if I should continue if I get any comments. I think this is what people call a "one shot"? Wow, yeah, I defiantly am new… Anyway constructive criticism is welcomed. Please don't hold back, I was never good at writing. Anyway, enjoy the story! :)
And yes, I am a Brony.
MLP FIM and Transformers War and Fall of Cybertron are all owned by Hasbro. (I think) All I own are the OC's that I create.
Chapter 1: The All-Purpose unit
(This takes place during the Trailer for Fall of Cybertron)
Cybertron
Once a peaceful planet where both Autobots and Decepticons lived together peacefully, but is now a war torn planet filled with chaos and destruction. Before the autobot Optimus Prime took over as the autobots leader the decepticons leader fought unchallenged since the defeat of Zeta Prime. Now, though, both armies are at their strongest and plan on trying to finish this war once and for all.
A giant red and blue autobot stood on top of an iron plateau while holding a small damaged yellow transformer, while overlooking the battle that was going on between the warring armies.
"Optimus."
Optimus looked over to his right and there stood an autobot that stood about a couple feet shorter than him (Hey, I don't know what they have for units, ok?), covered in black metallic paint with lime green lines covering his body as the same design as the circuitry on the inside of him. Unlike any Transformer, both autobot and decepticon alike, his optic sensors (eyes) were green like the lines that cover his body instead of the blues or reds that others had.
"Live Wire" Optimus nodded the response and set the yellow bot down, Grasping his hand to make sure that he was still functional.
Live Wire walked up and looked at the yellow bot with concern on his face, he may not have had many friends but the small autobot was his only best friend. "Will Bumble Bee be okay?" he said.
Optimus let out a sigh and stood up. "I don't know, can you get him stabilized till Ratchet gets over here and fixes him up?"
Live Wire quickly looked at Optimus then back and Bumble Bee. "I don't know, but I'll try." He said as he kneeled down next to Bumble Bee.
Optimus nodded and walked away to where Grimlock stood to give Live Wire some space.
As he left Live Wire stared at his friend and said, "I don't think I have what it takes to fix you up." He said grimly as his right arm turned into several smaller arms and his eyes began to scan him to check where the damage was the most severe.
Bumble Bee chuckled at this and grasped his friend's left shoulder, "What are you talking about? Aren't you supposed to be an all-purpose unit?"
When Bumble Bee said "all-purpose" unit, Live Wire knew that he was talking about the fact that he was a rare model of transformers that had the abilities of all the other unit types. This included the medical knowledge and abilities of the medics but he was only average at everything. He was never good at anything, just average. Live Wire saw this this as a liability from making him special, Bumble Bee saw it itself as being special.
"You need to stop talking to save your strength. Your energon levels are running low, so I'll have to strap an energon pack to keep you stable till Ratchet comes."
"Why don't you fix me up here?" Bumble Bee inquired. "I know you have the knowledge to."
Live Wire shook his head. "I'm afraid that I'll just make you worse than you already are." He replied as he strapped the pack on to Bumble Bee and turned it on.
He stood up. "Alright, that should do it." He replied as he held out a hand to help Bumble Bee up.
Bumble Bee looked at himself and did a quick run in place. Once satisfied that everything worked he stared at Live Wire and said, "Thanks a ton, don't know where I would be without you."
"Probably still on the ground half asleep." Live Wire teased.
"Will I be able to fight?"
Live Wire glanced to where prime stood next to the transformed Grimlock. He knew that Optimus wouldn't want Bumble Bee moving too much, but also knew that his friend didn't want to feel useless.
"You should probably stay still till Ratchet arrives, but-" he paused. "If you grab a combat rifle then you could probably hit the decepticons from here without putting yourself in danger.
Bumble Bee nodded and limped off to where Optimus stood, looking back and saying, "Thanks Live Wire, I'm going to go tell Optimus, you should hurry and go see if anyone else needs help."
Live Wire nodded and was about to say something when Optimus motioned for both of them to come over.
When everyone was gathered around Optimus, he spoke. "We need a plan to stop the decepticons from advancing once and for all, I have spoken with several bots and we have figured out the best course of action." He said.
Everyone looked at their leader with a newfound hope, praying that his next words might help save them all and hopefully end the war.
Optimus pointed to a large tower that was the decepticons temporary base, on it were giant lazars and anti-air guns, shooting at the autobots incoming air support. The hologram of the decepticons symbol was floating above it. . "If we can destroy that tower then we might be able to have Omega-Supreme come in and wipe out the rest of the enemy soldiers, as well as bringing in the air support." He paused to look at the autobots standing around him. "We plan on sending in one autobot to sneak pass security and to destroy its central energon core."
At this all the autobots looked shocked and looked at each other. They knew that if Optimus planed a suicide mission then there was little else left to do. Prime cared for all bots, and it hurt him the most to see them get hurt.
"There may be no chance of getting out, once in there, but if you get to the roof Jetfire will be there waiting for you to get you out." Optimus replied glumly. "I understand if none of you are willing to do it which is why I have volunteered to do it."
Everyone gasped in shock. If the autobots lost their leader now, then all hope was lost.
"Prime, you can't go in there. It's suicide!" Replied Ironhide. "Let someone else go."
Optimus looked Ironhide right in the optic sensors and said, "I'm not forcing anyone to go unless they want too, so I'm going to volunteer. It's the only way to push the decepticons back."
While this was going on, Live Wire was looking at the ground, thinking really hard. "Hmm, maybe I should go. That way, even if I go offline, nobot important gets disabled."
"I'll go."
Everyone turned to Live Wire with a surprised look.
"Are you sure son? Once you go in, you might not make it." Replied a red and white autobot named Ratchet.
"I'm sure I can do it." He said, turning to Optimus. "Give me the coordinates, Optimus, I can be in and out of there in a flash."
Optimus looked unsure at Live Wire. He knew he could do it but Live Wire was only 1,700 years old. (Teenager in robot standards. Take your age and multiply it by 100. Time goes by fast when you're an uber sized robot.) He still hade thousands of years ahead of him.
"I don't think you should go." Ratchet answered.
Ever since Live Wire's parental units were destroyed when he was little Ratchet acted like a fatherly figure in his life since he was good friends with them. Live Wire was only 200 years old when they were destroyed. All he has left to remember them are a few old stories Ratchet told and some ancient holograms of them together in front of their house before it was destroyed.
Live Wire looked towards the old medic, "I know I can do this, trust me."
"I do trust you, it's just-"
He was interrupted when Bumble Bee spoke up.
"I think he should go."
This got the attention of everyone, as Live Wires best friend, they all knew that if he didn't come back Bumble Bee would be devastated.
"He is an all-purpose unit, remember? If one bot were to go in alone, then Live Wire would have the best chance of surviving."
The other plus sides to being an all-purpose unit was that Live Wire could also had the extra data space to use the weapons of other units and still use his own. The data he had so far was a leaders ionic cannon (Ion shotgun thingy?), the medics repair kit (What he used on Bumble Bee), the scouts energon blaster, the soldiers standard combat rifle, and an extra laser pistol. (Dunno the names)
Live Wire nodded and looked at Optimus.
Prime sighed, "Alright, but I want Ironhide and Cliffjumper to escort you to the front of the building." Both Ironhide (a large red soldier) and Cliffjumper (a small red scout) nodded in response to this.
Bumble Bee and Ratchet looked at each other and said simultaneously, "We want to go to."
Optimus looked between Ratchet and Bumble Bee.
"Ratchet, you may go too, but not Bumble Bee. You're in no condition to be in combat."
Bumble Bee looked at the ground in defeat. "I understand Optimus."
Optimus nodded and gave Live Wire the chip.
Live Wire then took the chip and opened up his chest plate a bit so that he could fit it into one of the dozens of slots that he had for memory storage.
He then turned to Ratchet, Ironhide, and Cliffjumper.
"Let's roll out!" he shouted.
Then he and his companions transformed and drove off toward the decepticon base.
Off in the distance, a tall decepticon almost all in a metallic grey was beating the living hell out of an autobot that was under his feet.
"Hmmm." He said, noticing the small group of autobots making its way around the edge of the battlefield.
"Bruticus!"
A large decepticon towering over the others turned to the call.
"Yes, Megatron?"
"Watch and make sure that nothing happens while I'm gone." He said with a slight smirk. "It seems that we have some "Unwanted" guests coming to visit. Wouldn't want them to feel lonely now would we?"
"Yes, Megatron." Bruticus replied as he tore apart an autobot defender in two.
Megatron then walked off towards their temporary base, thinking "Prime, what do you have up your sleeve this time?"
So, what do you think? Surprised that there are no beautiful colored ponies yet? There will be, it's just that I want to start the story with how the main character got to Equestria. It will be soon, I hope. He will be in the land of pony's by chapter 3 so please wait. Also, I want to thank the 3 stories that got me into wanting to try writing fanfiction. If you have not read any of these then I recommend that you do. They are awesome. (From my point of view.)
My thanks to:
thunderhawk6894's: The 7th Element
Alex Barkhorn's: My Little Pony: Brave New World
And DeadLight63's: Guardians of the Elements of Harmony
I wanted to say thanks' for the totally awesome stories for making me into an official brony.
