AN: Hi this is my first transformers story and I wanted to use the plot point of Cybertronians being around during key points in history and stuff from the fifth movie, but have it actually make sense in the timeline and give deceased characters a time to shine (Shockwave, Jazz etc.). But before we get started, here are a few key points.
No main humans (except maybe Lennox), this is a transformers story
Hot Rod doesn't have a French accent, that's dumb and
Bumblebee can talk
Quintessa isn't gonna be included
Barricade has his original body and voice from the first three movies
No Dinobots aside from Grimlock will appear (at least in this first "act") and Grimlock has a voice as well
These ideas may be changed as I better establish the story but as of right not these are the guidelines I'm following story-wise.
The voice of a reporter echoed from a small, old tv. "The Autobots who haven't been seen since the disaster of Hong Kong, have been reported to be stopping the invasion if the KSI robots, have now regained the trust of many people who witnessed the incident first hand. Now the task force, who hunted the Autobots have now disbanded but there are rumours of the returning threat of the Deceptions…"
"Oh, so now they like us!" Crosshairs jabbed over the poor audio of the tv. "Took them long enough to learn the difference from us and the cons!"
"Shh! I'm trying to hear it!" Hot Rod hissed back and the emerald Autobot.
"Quiet new kid!" Crosshairs snapped back "Why don't you run along and talk to Bumblebee." Hot Rod reluctantly walked off and sat over with Bumblebee who was awfully quiet even with his voice box repaired.
"Hey bee…" Hot Rod said.
"Hi…" He replied looking down.
"Don't worry, he'll come back…"
"This isn't the first time he's… left" Bee recounted the fight in the forest from what reals like an eternity ago. "But back then I had Ratchet, Ironhide, Sideswipe and the other Autobots to help me… but now? Just five Autobots and a giant dinosaur who all hate each other hiding in a junkyard and I'm in charge! It's too much to deal with at once, I'm not ready."
"I-I'm sorry…" Hot Rod was speechless, being the rookie, he couldn't exactly relate to the situation Bumblebee was in but none the less he tried to console with him. "But you're not alone. I know none of us are exactly… fond of each other, but we fight for the same cause and we've all gone through a lot of hard times both on Cybertron and here on earth.
"After all we're all gonna have to learn to work together if we want to beat Megatron or Galvatron or whatever and his cronies for good" The large and lovable Hound added joining their conversation.
"Yeah that's my point, what if we can't do that and the Decepticons take over the planet."
"Eh it's happened before…" Hound recalled to both Cybertron and the Chicago battles both of which were devastating. "You gotta get your brain chip focused in the present, focusing on the past or future won't get you anywhere.
"Plus, it isn't like the cons know where we are now." Hot Rod added.
"Yeah I guess you're right." Bee said. "I guess when I really think about it… things are finally looking up a little."
"I have a visual, I'm heading there now" A police car with the words punish and enslave engraved on the side began to approach the secluded Junkyard from afar.
