Well everyone, this idea just sorta popped into my head while playing 'Transformers Rise Of The Dark Spark' on my xbox 360, but what if after the first half of the Mystery Meat episode, Danny was chosen by the autobot Matrix of Leadership? What if his mom was there when it happened and found out his secret? *GASP!* WHAT IF THE TWO OF THEM AND SOME OTHERS BECAME AUTOBOTS?! Please feel free to leave constructive Criticism in the reviews. I promise, I will take reasonable requests. Something like, oh, I don't know...TURNING VLAD INTO A DECEPTICON! Well onto the story! Read and Review! Also the transformers timeline that this takes place in, is the generation 1 transformers! Please note that I will also be using a few Beast Wars references. I don't own those either! Optimus, please do the disclaimer.
Optimus Prime: Very well. SaurusRock625 does not own Danny Phantom, or any of its characters. He also does not own any generation of Transformers. Transformers G1 is owned by Takara Tomy, Hasbro, Toei Animation and AKOM. Thank you and enjoy this Fanfiction.

Prologue: Finding The Matrix! The New Prime!
Danny was not having a good day. First, he couldn't tell his family about his ghost powers because of his sister. Then, one of his best friends, a goth girl named Sam changed the school lunch menu. And finally he had to fight a ghostly lunch lady who went ballistic because of it! He just wished that he could seek comfort from his mother right now. (AN: Danny is NOT in love with his mom! Okay? I don't do incest! He's just more emotionally attached to his mom! Any questions? ...No? Good! Now on with the story!)
As he was walking home, he saw something shiny in a crater in front of his house! Letting his curiosity get the better of him, he slid down into the crater to get a closer look. Once he got to the center of the crater, he saw that the shiny thing was buried with only a bit of it showing. Danny got down on his knees and began to use his hands to dust it off. What he saw shocked him! Not literally mind you.
It was some sort of glowing blue crystal inside of a red, spherical machine. It also had two yellow handles on the sides. What Danny didn't know, was that it would change his life forever.
"What is this thing? It doesn't seem like it has any ghostly properties...oh great now I'm starting to think like my ghost obsessed father!" Just then, a woman in a blue jumpsuit appeared next to him. She had blue eyes, light colored skin, and shoulder length orange hair. Her hood was down, that's how you could tell. This is Madeline or Maddie Fenton, Danny's mother.
"Be careful Danny! We don't know what kind of ghost could be looking for this thing!" She said putting an arm in front of him protectively. Suddenly, they both heard a voice coming from the machine!
"There is no need to fear Mrs. Fenton. The matrix shall never harm it's chosen." The voice was deep, booming, and slightly metallic. Maddie was very much freaked out! "How do you know my name?! Who are you?! And more importantly, what do you mean by chosen?" The voice let out a good natured chuckle and explained the situation to them.
"My name is Optimus Prime. I was once the leader of a race of autonomous robotic organisms from the planet cybertron. But just call us Autobots for short. And as for what the device that your son found is. It is known as the matrix of leadership. A relic that is passed down to every primes successor. It contains the knowledge and memories of all of the past primes. And it has chosen you, Daniel Fenton, as the next prime!"
This took Danny by surprise! He didn't really think he was all that special. You see, due to all of the constant bullying he's received since middle school, Danny's self-esteem has dropped to practically zero! That actually factors in as to why he can't control his ghost powers very well.
"But why me? I'm no one special. I'm just a loser who's only good for getting beat up and stuffed into lockers. The matrix must've made a mistake..." Danny asked/replied sadly. Maddie could see the tears welling up in her son's eyes, and brought him into a hug while making a mental note to speak to the principal about the constant bullying that's been happening at Casper high. Especially towards her son.
She decided to tell Danny how wrong he was, while building up his self-esteem. "Oh Danny. My sweet baby boy. You are special Danny! I know that you may not get the best grades in school, or be the most popular kid in your grade level, but you have what they don't! And that is a pure and kind heart! They may have money, athletic abilities, popularity, but your heart is the one thing they don't have. Just know that I'll always love and support you, no matter what! I promise." When Maddie was done explaining, Danny was in tears clinging to her like a lifeline. This was when Optimus began to speak again.
"Your mother is right Daniel. It is for these reasons that the matrix has chosen you as the next prime. Now, take up the matrix of leadership, and assume your rightful place as prime, brother!" Optimus said further boosting the boys self-esteem.
Danny looked up, a newfound confidence in his eyes, and grabbed the matrix by both handles. He and his mom were then bathed in a white light coming directly from the matrix's energon core, but there was no pain. Looking at a microscopic level, we can see Danny's ghostly DNA being fused with cybertronian CNA! Thus he is now half human, half ghost, half cybertronian! Even Maddie's DNA was being loaded with cybertronian CNA! She was also half cybertronian.
"Now, arise, PHANTOMUS PRIME! And you as well, VECTOR SIGMA!" And lo and behold, two new cybertronians were standing in place of the two Fentons. However, the two are completely grey, have weaker armor, and almost looked to be naked by cybertronian standards. The only difference was that the one that stood in Danny's place was a lot taller than the other.
Maddie then spoke up, her voice now having a metallic tint to it. "Why do we look like this?" Surprisingly it was Danny, now known as Phantomus who spoke up. "The matrix has given me knowledge as to what we are. We are a stage called 'protoforms.' We need to go out and scan suitable vehicle modes. And no! We are not using the RV for a vehicle mode! Let's split up, and meet back up at the city limits of amity park when we've found suitable vehicle modes." He replied in a deeper voice.
Although slightly downtrodden at not being able to scan the 'Fenton Family Ghost Assault Vehicle', she agreed.
*****With Vector Sigma*****
Vector Sigma soon found herself at the docks of amity park. She was about to give up and head for a parking lot, when she spotted a beautiful Ariel boat! (Just think of Vector primes vehicle mode in the transformers cyber planet key series.) Acting on instinct, as if she somehow knew what to do, she scanned it and was then covered in armor that looked like pieces of her Vehicle mode. She then transformed, her body shifting until it fully changed into her vehicle mode, and flew off to meet up with her son!
*****With Phantomus Prime*****
Phantomus was in the wooded area surrounding amity park. He was searching for a suitable vehicle mode. He came across something he thought he'd never see in his lifetime! It was a family of Tasmanian Tigers! But these creatures are supposed to be native to Tasmania, and extinct! Yet he found them! And sunning themselves next to the Tasmanian Tiger family, was a Siberian Tiger, and an American Alligator!
Phantomus thought to himself. 'How am I going to be able to pick just ONE?!' Before he knew it his scanners went into overdrive! He saw a blueprint of the Tasmanian Tiger, and the stats being changed. He had all of the original stats of the beast, but now had a tigers maximum speed of 40 mph. He also now has the bite force and swimming abilities of an American Alligator. The perfect beast mode. He finished the scan, and transformed. His coloration is pretty much Danny's hazmat suit when he goes ghost inverted. (White with black color, gloves, and boots.)
And with that, the cybertronian Tasmanian Tiger ran off at incredible speed to find his mother. But on the way, he spotted something. It was a sleek, black peterbilt and trailer. It was black with gold tinted windows, and white hot rod flames.(Think Galvatrons vehicle mode from the transformers 4 movie, only the coloration I just described) Thankfully, it was parked, and looked to be brand new!
Phantomus decided it may come in handy, so he scanned it, storing it in his vehicle mode banks. He then ran to meet up with his mother, Vector Sigma.
When he got to the outskirts, he found his mother waiting for him. "Hi Danny. Ready to go home?" She asked. He nodded at her, before two thoughts occurred to him. "Two things. One) when in our robotic forms, we call each other by our cybertronian names. And two) HOW IN THE ALLSPARK DO WE CHANGE BACK TO OUR HUMAN SELVES?!"
The moment he asked that, the two began to shrink, and their transmetal armor began to absorb into them, becoming flesh and blood again! They took a look at themselves, before Maddie spoke up again. "That was easy! Tomorrow's Friday. How about we go to the carnival tomorrow instead of school to celebrate? Just a mother, son day, like old times."
Danny was surprised, but that was soon replaced with great happiness. "Yes. Yes I'd like that very much!" With that said, they headed home to get some sleep. It's been a long day for the two of them.
Done! Read and review and tell me what you think! Also tell me who the first decepticons Danny and his mom fight should be. Depending on who it is, that's who they'll fight! Well like I said, read and review! No flames!
