Finally, my OC Moonstriker is back in action. I haven't used him for a long time.

Moonstriker: Yeah, I thought I was your best OC.

Me: You are, chill out! At least this story will have you in it and take place during a Transformers Prime AU. And I'm giving you a few new modifications!

Moonstriker: True

Me: Okay then let's get started. By the way, some episodes of Prime will be mentioned or featured but they will all be altered in some way. No other OCs can be featured in this. Every chapter has been written and I will try to post one or two a day.


Moonstriker: Lost In A War

Chapter 1: Early Years

Long before the war...

As a young scientist, Shockwave was always out exploring and trying to find new discoveries. He had found interests in Predacons and wished he could find some bones. He walked through some deep caverns scanning for any signs of life or pure energon.

"Ugh, there has to be something around here." Shockwave muttered as he walked down a long path.

Eventually, he came across a small puddle of energon. It seemed to be making a trail leading further into the caverns. Shockwave's interest's increased with curiousity and followed the trail. At the time, he had both his arms intact but was unfortunately weaponless at the time. As the path began to get darker and darker, he could see only a hint of light...from a pair of dark red optics. Shockwave walked closer and closer and his red glowing optic soon illuminated a mech about a young as Shockwave himself.

"It can't be true...it defies all logic!" Shockwave gasped backing up.

He was looking at a mech...but not just any mech, it wasn't a Predacon or Insecticon. It was an ancient type of cybertronian, who have evolved some point after the predacons were starting to go extinct. They were called Monster Mechs, rare but extremely intelligent. Unfortunately they didn't last long. In fact, the last time anyone saw one, was around the time the great Megatronus himself was just a youngling. Shockwave may have just found the last Monster Mech alive.

Shockwave had only seen Monster Mechs in old archives and other records. Seeing one now was just...illogical. Monster Mechs all looked the same except for color scheme. They were huge, slightly bigger than Megatronus even. Their bodies were extremely durable to the point they rarely experienced pain. They could barely be dented as well and have proven to be the strongest mechs on Cybertron, at least after the Predacons. They had large horns on the sides of their head, dark-colored optics, several rows of razor sharp teeth, large fangs that stretched down a bit past their chin, big legs and arms with large razor sharp claws on both hands with knuckle braces on their fists. Finally, they possessed large bat wings and tires on their backs making them appear as triple-changers. The one Shockwave found had all those qualities but had dark red optics and was black with blue lines going down his chest.

"What is your name young mech?" Shockwave asked stepping closer.

The Monster Mech looked at Shockwave like he was going to hurt him. He hadn't spoken in a long time so he found it hard to try.

"It's okay, I'm Shockwave, I saw you were leaking energon, are you hurt?" Shockwave said.

The mech nodded as energon slid down his mouth. Shockwave walked over and made it clear he was no threat. He examined the mouth, it seemed to have been damaged from getting hit by something or someone.

"I'll take you back to my lab, I'll keep you safe I promise!" Shockwave said. "But please, you must have a name."

"...Moonstriker..." He finally spoke with a deep but soft voice.

"Well Moonstriker, it's nice to meet the last Monster Mech on Cybertron. You're not safe here, how long have you been here?" Shockwave asked.

"A few years...in hiding!" Moonstriker said sadly.

"Come with me...please!" Shockwave held out a clawed hand.

Moonstriker made a little smile and grasped his new friend's hand and they walked out of the caves. Shockwave had to keep Moonstriker hidden from Megatronus and especially Soundwave, that mech always liked to sneak around and spy on him.

During Megatronus' days as a gladiator...

Shockwave was busy in his lab talking to Moonstriker who was more talkative now. Soundwave was a good friend of Shockwave's and often visited after Megatron was done with his fights. Shockwave depended on the Insecticons Hardshell, Sharpshot and Kickback to hang with Moonstriker when he was busy. But whenever Soundwave or Megatronus would visit, he'd have no choice but to hide Moonstriker, however, Soundwave was starting to get suspicious whenever Shockwave always seemed to be coming out of a back room. He finally snapped the next time he visited. Unfortunately for Shockwave, Soundwave was more talkative on Cybertron.

"Shockwave, what is in that back room?" Soundwave asked.

"Nothing but old data pads and broken machinery." Shockwave shook his head.

Soundwave noticed the Insecticons were standing side-by-side against the door. Megatronus was also there observing the scene. He secretly loved it when Shockwave and Soundwave would argue about anything.

"You're hiding something!" Soundwave sneered.

"I am not, I'm trying to do some work!" Shockwave lied again.

Soundwave went silent for a moment before lunging at Shockwave trying to get past him. Shockwave luckily didn't have his gun yet and was equally matched with Soundwave. The Insecticons laughed at Soundwave who eventually got past Shockwave but was tripped. Megatronus face-palmed when the two started wrestling, he groaned and walked past them, glared at the Insecticons who cowered away, and finally opened the door to a shocking surprise. Moonstriker was sitting on a berth, staring right at the gladiator.

"By the Allspark!" Megatronus gasped.

Moonstriker was a lot older now but still considered young, probably like Orion Pax. Megatronus had heard about these species but never thought he would see one alive.

"Shockwave...how long have you had him here?" Megatronus spoke up.

Shockwave and Soundwave's scuffle ceased when he spoke. Shockwave groaned knowing it was too late to turn back now.

"Many years, I've been raising him. You know what speices he is right?" Shockwave asked.

"Indeed, a Monster Mech!" Megatronus examined Moonstriker.

"Megatronus, I've heard about you!" Moonstriker stood up.

Even though he was younger, he was a bit taller than Megatronus.

"You look like you would make a fine warrior in the arena!" Megatronus said.

"Thanks but...I'm not into the whole fighting thing. I'm better at being a scientist like Shockwave." Moonstriker said.

Soundwave looked at Shockwave unimpressed.

"That's what you've been hiding all this time?" Soundwave said.

"Yeah, so?" Shockwave said.

Soundwave decided to take a look at the mech himself. He was large...mabye too large...

"Has Shockwave given you any combat training, he must've have if you've survived this long in Kaon." Soundwave said.

"I've had some, but I don't need much!" Moonstriker said.

Later after Soundwave and Megatronus left, the Insecticons observed Shockwave and Moonstriker who were working on something.

"You think these two will last together forever?" Sharpshot asked.

"I'm sure!" Hardshell said.

"Hehehehehe, we're going to have so much fun, fun, FUN!" Kickback said.

Moonstriker loved the life of a scientist. He was able to explore, create, and mess around with tools. Shockwave had became his mentor and was becoming an excellent student. It became a father and son relationship since Shockwave pretty much adopted him. As the years went by, Megatronus and Soundwave grew to like Moonstriker and was considered a good secret friend...but all this would change...when Orion Pax becomes the next prime...and Megatronus...becomes Megatron, leader of the Decepticons.

During the war...

Shockwave's first lab was about to be invaded by the Autobots. Shockwave had to flee along with the Insecticons. Moonstriker was in his room reading a data pad when Shockwave ran in.

"Moonstriker, we must go! The Autobots are coming in!" Shockwave said.

"Can't we handle them?" Moonstriker asked.

"NO! COME ON! I MUST GET YOU TO SAFETY!" Shockwave growled.

Moonstriker could hear the banging and blasting outside. The whole lab was coming apart. The Insecticons had already left...unfortunately...Moonstriker would never see them again. He followed Shockwave to another hidden room where inside were a few stasis pods. Moonstriker had never seen them before, he didn't even think he could fit in one. However, Shockwave had built one just for Moonstriker just in case.

"GET IN!" Shockwave demanded.

Moonstriker obeyed but looked at Shockwave with worry as his wings folded.

"Wait Shockwave, what about you? What will happen to me?" Moonstriker asked.

"I have recently discovered a planet rich with energy. I will send you there, it will be a very long trip and I will need to put you in stasis until then." Shockwave explained.

As he did, more of his vehicons started attacking the Autobots. Moonstriker didn't want to leave Shockwave. He was all he got now.

"Shockwave don't do this please! I can help!"

"No! I need to keep you away, no one else can find out about you. I will come back for you on the primitive planet. After all, I've built a spacebridge that will take us there. I'll miss you Moonstriker, and I won't forget you. I promise...if I survive...I will find you...again." Shockwave said.

"Goodbye Shockwave!" Moonstriker said.

Shockwave nodded before a vehicon came over.

"Shockwave, it's now or never!" The drone said.

"Goodbye...son!" Shockwave sighed before activating stasis and sending the pod off Cybertron.

Little did Moonstriker know...a lot of changes were gonna happen when he woke up...before he fully went into stasis...he looked through the glass to see Cybertron being covered by explosions and fire. He would never guess Shockwave would eventually forget about him and focus on taking over Cybertron with Lord Megatron. Any traces of Moonstriker were gone and Moonstriker was...lost in a war...
