Author's note: was supposed to be a short and funny piece, got a little bit lost in it and now I'm planning more chapters. Hope you like it, please review and enjoy.

(I don't want to continue my other story until I have had a review so I have an idea of what I'm doing.)

The plan.

He couldn't believe it, after all the precautions he had taken; Megatron still somehow got his hands on Elita and Arcee.

His mate and daughter were abducted, and now Megatron demanded, not only his, but the entire Autobot alliance' surrender. They had just received the holographic recording in which Megatron explained that if the Autobot alliance wouldn't surrender before eight a.m., he'd kill Elita and if they still hadn't surrendered at eight p.m. he'd kill Arcee as well.

The choice was his to make; save his family, or save the Autobot resistance. He didn't know what to do so he called in a meeting with his commanders.

They had discussed the matter and drew the conclusion for the sake of the Autobots, and they were right, how could he blame them. But they had not forgotten about the femme's, he was allowed to try and save them. He had to come up with a plan himself and organize it all without endangering the Autobot cause.

He decided to set up a small elite team to enter Kaon and the Decepticon citadel where the femme's were held captive. The team needed to be quick, stealthy and strong enough to withstand the worst Decepticon's which they, for certain, would run in to.

He had been discussing the plan with his friend Ironhide, who, in fact, would become part of the team as an explosives expert.

"Alright Optimus, you need someone for communication, explosives, scouting/exploring, someone to break in the security network, and last of all an extra pair of eyes to cover your back. And your entire crew needs to be able to defend their self without help ór back up. And then of course they all should join the crew voluntarily or you'll get in trouble with the council. Now, I agreed on being your explosives expert, so that is one soldier less we'll have to search for. Optimus, who did you had in mind for communication?"

"..hmm.. What about Elect-vibe? He knows his way around a comm. link and things like that."

"Not a bad suggestion, but he sucks at self defense. I was thinking about that young mech who so eagerly wants to fight at the frontlines. I believe his name is Radarpoint. He knows his way around a comm. link and he is a skilled fighter, even though I say so myself."

"hmm.. You may have good idea there Hide. You were the one who trained him, so I'm sure he can defend himself, but are you sure he knows enough about communication?"

"I've heard your chief of communication, Elect-vibe, talking, and, well, let's say he was rather complimenting about Radarpoint."

"Alright then, I'll discuss it with Elect-vibe. But then who do you think we could use as a scout?"

"…hmm We could use.. uuhh no, maybe.. Dust-runner…?"

"Dust-runner huh..? I don't think she is a good choice, ok she can defend herself and she is a good scout.. but every time she sees a Decepticon she faints."

"O.. yeah, but who else do you think is good enough to join the team?"

"Well, there is one guy I think is good enough, but I don't think you're going to like it."

"Well, spit it out Prime, who is it?"

"Bumblebee"

"Ooh no, that is not going to happen, he is too young Prime. He hasn't seen much of the war yet, it's too dangerous."

"Ironhide, I understand that you see it that way since the young mech is like a son to you. But he is skilled enough in both self defense and scouting, he is just the perfect candidate and you know he is. I would say, we ask him, if he doesn't want to he'll say so and everything will be alright, if he does want to join the team then that's great."

"You know he won't say no to you Prime."

"That's why you'll ask him to."

"… hmpf fine I'll ask him, but I am going to advice him not to."

"and that's fine with me, you've every right to. Now let's get back to the rest of the team, I think we'll both agree on Perceptor as our security system offliner."

"..hmm yeah he's pretty good with things like that. But you still need someone to cover the rear."

"mh, don't worry about that, Hide. I'm not going to take a risk now Elita and Arcee are involved, I know the perfect candidate for that function."

"hmm, well, who is it?"

"You'll see. You should ask Bumblebee now first since he might say no and we should find someone else for the job."

Ironhide growled in agreement at that and left the room to ask Bumblebee to join the team. During the meeting they had decided to call the mission Delta wing and that's how it would be referred to during the next couple of cycles.

After a heavy argument between Ironhide and Bumblebee, Bumblebee had accepted Optimus' request in great dislike of Ironhide.

Now Optimus almost had his team complete, he only needed one more member and he was certain to get exactly the one he wanted.
