Cybertron, the outskirts of Tesarus...

"How much longer are we gonna be standin' here for?!" Crankcase, a black and blue Decepticon with a golden face-plate, complained. To the annoyance of the bot next to him, a yellow and purple and also bearing a golden face-plate. His name was Ruckus. Ruckus groaned,

"Will you quit your complaining. If you say one more word my brain-module's gonna explode!" Ruckus snapped,

"Oh please, you can't tell me you're not bored too! I want to crush some Autobot's heads." Crankcase replied,

"Yeah, but at least I can keep those thoughts to myself."

"Both of you shut up!" another behind them shouted, "Can't you see I'm workin' here!" his words silenced the two's argument. This one was mostly purple, with blue legs. And unlike the other two, he transformed into a helicopter, instead of a ground-vehicle. His name was Spinister. He was in the middle of fixing a transmission tower that was damaged during a battle. Then out of nowhere, Crankcase noticed multiple dots on the horizon that looked like they were getting closer,

"What the?"

"What is it?" Ruckus asked. As the dots came closer, Crankcase realized that they were Autobots approaching them,

"AUTOBOTS!"

"Scrap!" Spinister cursed,

"Finally, some action!" Crankcase charged forward to take on the Autobots, grabbing his two SMG's and opening fire,

"Crankcase you idiot!" Ruckus shouted,

"Don't worry about him! Just call for backup!" Spinister ordered. Ruckus did as he said and contacted a nearby outpost.

"Come at me!" Crankcase shouted as two of the many Autobots drifted to a stop and transformed, firing upon Crankcase. crankcase dodged the blasts and gunned down one of them, the other charging towards him. Just as Crankcase lifted his guns to fire, the Autobot grabbed them and thrust his knee into crankcase's face, causing him to let go, "Is that how you wanna do this? Okay then!" Crankcase then engaged the Autobot. The Autobot threw a punch, but Crankcase grabbed his fist and twisted it. The Autobot groaned and kicked Crankcase back, freeing his arm,

"I love a challenge!" Crankcase said,

"Me too." the Autobot replied.

The rest of the Autobots were nearly to the tower,

"Hold them off until I finish fixing this thing!" Spinister ordered. Ruckus nodded,

"That, I can do..." Ruckus grabbed his rifle off his back and loaded it as the Autobots transformed and engaged him. Ruckus manage to gun down four before his blaster jammed,

"Scrap!" Ruckus then broke the gun on an Autobot's head, killing him, "Let's do this the old-fashioned way!" Ruckus advanced on another Autobot and slid across the ground, grabbing his leg and causing him to fall. Ruckus then got up and stomped on his head, instantly killing him. Three more Autobots advanced on him, and he prepared to take them all on.

Crankcase hit the Autobot with a barrage of punched to his stomach, then kicking his leg and knocking him into a kneel,

"Looks like I won..." Crankcase announced, wrapping his arms around the Autobot's neck and breaking it, throwing his corpse to the ground. He then grabbed his blasters off the floor and transformed and sped off to help Ruckus.

ruckus took a punch to the face, stumbling back as the Autobot who punched him grabbed a pistol out of his holster and aimed it at Ruckus' head. But before he could pull the trigger, his head exploded from an Energon-blast from behind, and he fell to the ground. Ruckus turned to see Spinister standing behind him, lowering his blaster,

"The tower's finished! Let's go!" Spinister said, "Our backup'll take it from here." Ruckus nodded and transformed, Spinister doing the same. And with that, they both took off,

"HEY! WAIT FOR ME!" Crankcase shouted, ramming through an Autobot's legs as he chased after his team, leaving the remaining seven Autobots behind them. The Autobots transformed to chase them, but before they could, they were quickly disposed of by Decepticon reinforcements...

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of a new story/one-shot thing I'm working on. This takes place in the same universe as War on Earth, and is set after the Autobots arrive on Earth, as will be most of the chapters in this story...
