ooooOOOOoooo
Floating through the vastness of space a prone figure drifted. Scorch marks covered the bipedal metallic form. Suddenly erupting from the figures neck, sparks lit up the darkness in a display of white light.
The being flinched, curling in on itself. "If we don't find a medic soon I'm going to be in serious trouble…" The figure spoke in its language of sonic pulses.
-We'll find one, hang in there.-
"Easy for you to say. You didn't get the brunt of Shockwave's cannon blast." Gingerly groping its terribly scorched left shoulder it continued, "It was sheer luck that he missed my primary fuel line."
-Hey, that same shot nicked my sensory array. I'm riding blind here.-
"Yeah, yeah… You know-"
-SHH!-
"Don't 'shh' me you!"
-SHH! I'm picking up an Autobot transmission. It's a bit garbbled but I'll replay.-
"-… My name is Optimus Prime and I send this message to any Autobots taking refuge amongst the stars. We are here… We are waiting.-" Following the message came a data feed that had coordinates encrypted in it.
Patching the coordinates into its internal navigation system the metallic being eerily glowing red and blue eyes took on a brighter glow. "I've gotta beat on the signal! We're located in the same system!"
-Where they located?-
"Third planet in from the star." Reverting shape the once bipedal being was now a shape similar to that of a comet. Metal creaked and sparks flew as the transformation ended. "GAH!" Came the pained yelp. "By the Matrix I hope they have a medic." It stated powering up its thrusters, propelling itself past a medium sized planet with rings of ice and rock. Channeling all available energy it soared past the remaining planets until a brilliant world colored in blue and green came into view.
-Do we know the name of this planet?-
"According to what the coordinates have encrypted in them, the locals call it 'Earth'."
-Earth? Hmm… Interesting.-
"Agreed. I'm going to send out a transmission to inform Prime of our arrival."
-Not to mention have a medic standing by.-
"That to, due to my weakened state the landing won't be… What's the word?"
-Graceful? Soft? Painfree?-
"… I don't know why I even bother."
-Heh.-
"Shush, I'm calling in." Came the being preparing for entry onto the new world. "-Optimus Prime, message received. Allegiance Autobot. Core number 5-0-9-1-3 Sierra Kilo. Designation – GAH!!" It shrieked as laser blasts pelted its already sweltering form as it descended through the atmosphere. A scratchy laugh reached the audios of the injured bot as it started to tumble, twist, and burn.
-STARSCREAM!-
Trying to regain some sense of equilibrium the protoform plummeted to steeply through the atmosphere. "THRUSTERS FAILING! COMMUNICATIONS DOWN!" It shrieked as the heat started melting its metal skin. "I'M FALLING APART!"
Breaking through, fire still engulfing the metal being, it careened into a snowy mountain peak sending rock, snow, and ice flying. Easily shooting through the rock and ice something split off from the protoform and crashed down slope as the rest of the protoform shot off out of sight.
Flying across the massive landmass the protoform lost speed, fire, and smoke; revealing the now bipedal mechanoid. Crashing hard into the frozen tundra the protoform flailed like a ragdoll as it skidded and crashed leaving a mile long scar in the dry frozen waste land, kicking up frozen ground as it went.
As the dust cleared a sickening whirring sound came from the crater. Laying on its back, its three fingered hands sparked and twitched as a strange glowing blue liquid seeped from deep gauges in its metal skin. Scorched grey and black its robotic eyes flickered weakly.
Rerouting any available energy into its communications array the protoform sought out Prime. "-P-P-Prime… Crashed landed… Location unkown… Power dwindling… S-Starscream… A-A-Attack… Hel-l-l-l-p!...-" Then slowly it laid its back, eyes barely alit.
