Author Notes: I've had this story in mind for a while now and thought I'd upload it and see what you guys think. This is based when Breakdown is still around because he and my OCs become close friends. I should mention that this story is not based off any episodes and will not have the more 'recent' characters in it like Wheeljack, Smokescreen, Dreadwing, Shockwave, or any of the Predacons. This may be a bit OOC, but this is how I see the different characters of TFP. This is also going to be based mainly around the Decepticons because two of my favourite characters are on that side (Knock Out and Starscream) and also because my OCs are 'Decepticons' too (they're more neutral than anything though). Also, if you want to see what my OCs look like, you can go to my DeviantART page which is:- scaryk26 (I tried putting a link but it wouldn't let me, not even if I took the spaces out. Sorry guys.)Anyway, enough rambling! On with the story!

It was midday over the Eastern Coast of America and things were quiet aboard the Nemesis. Lord Megatron, leader of the Decepticons, had assigned most of his Vehicon troops to search for energon as they were in desperate need of more. They were more than halfway through their last batch of energon already, despite their best efforts to ration and save as much as possible. Megatron assumed that the Autobots were in low supply as well, seeing as their battles were becoming more and more constant near whatever energon mines they could find. Usually if either team did find an energon mine it would be close to empty and have only a few scraps left in it; but both teams were so desperate for more that they were forced to fight for it.

The mighty warlord was dragged out of his thoughts when he heard the door 'swoosh' open behind him and multiple metal footsteps could be heard clanging his way. One of his group of troops had returned from their search.

"Well?" Lord Megatron asked impatiently as he looked over his shoulder at the small group of Vehicons.

"Nothing, my lord. We've searched across the entire area and still have no energon signal." The lead Vehicon bowed his head in both respect to his master and in disappointment for his lack to find even a single energon signal. Megatron snarled as he growled to himself in disbelief.

"How could this be?! It's been months since we've harvested a decent amount of energon and now we can't even find a single shard!" Not long after, Knock Out strolled in.

"My liege, I have good news and bad news." Megatron gave the small 'con his full attention by turning towards him. "The good news is: we've uncovered the location of an energon mine and a few of the troops have already been bridged to its coordinates."

"And the bad news?"

"The bad news is: the Autobots must have uncovered the same mine because they too have bridged to the location and are currently fighting for the energon." Megatron growled once again and dispatched some more troops to deal with the Autobots. Knock Out dismissed himself and made his way back to the med bay where Breakdown and a fresh Vehicon patient were waiting for him. "Prepare yourself for a lot more than this, Breakdown. Lord Megatron has just sent out more troops." Breakdown sighed as he and Knock Out got to work on fixing up the damaged Vehicon.

Time skip...

The energon battle was lost and the two medics were hard at work fixing and repairing more than enough injured troops. Megatron's mood hadn't lifted as he felt the need to beat the scrap out of his own troops himself. As well as assigning more Vehicons to search for energon signals he also had Soundwave on the job to make sure that every last speck of Earth was scanned. Everything was quiet, once again, in the warship, until the computer beeped as an unknown Cybertronian life signal came online, quickly followed by two more. Soundwave immediately decoded them and presented their profiles to Megatron. Their designations were unknown for some reason, but they must have been triplets from the sight of them and each of them bore a striking resemblance to his main medic, Knock Out; aside from the longer bodies and faces.

"Hmm..." Megatron mused as he looked over the strangers' profiles. Though there was hardly any information on them at all, he figured they must be of some importance. Usually only Decepticons and Autobots were the only signals to show, and since he had never seen either of these Cybertronians before, he immediately thought that they were on the opposite team. He couldn't be too hasty, however, for the constant battles between the two teams were slowly picking off the troops one by one and Megatron would soon be in need of more. If they were rogues and had not yet picked a team, or better, had not even heard of the Autobots, then maybe Megatron could convince them to join their side. After a little pondering he had made up his mind. "Starscream, bring Knock Out to me. I need to speak with him."

"Yes, my lord." He 'bowed' and headed towards the med bay. When he arrived, and the door whirred open for him, he was half surprised to find that only Breakdown was there looking up at him. "Where's Knock Out?"

"Right here." The red mech said smoothly as he slid past Starscream with a handful of freshly sterilised tools. "Why? What's the matter?" He asked as he aligned the tools on the tray.

"Our master wishes to speak with you. So you had better come quickly." The medic sighed, asking Breakdown to take care of the patients while he's gone. He and Starscream made their way back to the bridge, bowing when Megatron turned to them. Starscream returned to his master's side and placed his servos behind his back.

"You summoned me, lord Megatron?" Knock Out asked curiously.

"Do you have siblings, Knock Out?" The warlord asked rather seriously. Knock Out grew silent for a moment as he processed what his master asked him. Why would he want to know that? The medic thought to himself.

"Yes, sire." He answered slowly. "I do. Um... forgive me for asking, my liege, but why do you want to know?"

"Your brothers' profiles have appeared on our scanner, however, there is not a lot of detail about them." Megatron shifted to the side and allowed his now extremely confused and baffled medic to observe the three unknown profiles.

"... Dear Primus..." Knock Out breathed out quietly, not believing what his optics were seeing.
