Hey guys! This is a Rewrite of my first fanfic Wreckers Ascending (as you probably guessed from the title). It will be similar to the original except the writing style will be changed and some tweaks to the story and dialogue will be made. Please enjoy and NO FLAMES PLEASE, criticism is okay but just talking about how bad my story is isn't. Enjoy :)!
"It's already been 3 months since Prime sacrificed himself so that Cybertron can support life" complained Wheeljack "and I'm already bored".
"Could be worse," said a larger red mech with a scope on his left shoulder."you could be wandering around space aimlessly like you did before".
"Heh, I forgot how annoyingly accurate you can be Percepter". Perceptor grinned with amusement.
"Still, although the war's over, there are still some loose ends out there that need to be tied up" said Wheeljack.
Percepter looked at Wheeljack with a confused look "Loose ends? Like what?".
"Well I heard that some cons decide to enslave an ENTIRE alien race for their own enjoyment" said Wheeljack.
"If that's even true, why hasn't our new government taken care of the problem? It seems quite logical to save an alien race like you did with the humans," said an even more confused Percepter.
"Logic ain't got anything to do with it. Our new government just doesn't have the muscle to do the dirty work that needs to get done! That's why us Wreckers were needed, cause we weren't afraid to get our hands dirty and 'cause we knew how to handle our business!" Said Wheeljack.
"Yeah, I do miss the old days. However, the Wreckers are no longer a team. We disbanded years ago when Cybertron was lost," said Percepter.
Wheeljack thought for a moment then his optics lit up. "What if we form a new team of Wreckers!" said Wheeljack.
Percepter was stunned by his statement, but nodded in agreement. "Then it's settled, we should form a new team of Wreckers".
"Yeah and I already know who our first recruit will be" said Wheeljack with a smile.
(...)
"You want to do what!" shouted Bulkhead, who was bit surprised.
Wheeljack sighed "We want to start a new team of Wreckers and I want you to join".
"But Jackie, you know I'm head of all construction on Cybertron, plus if I leave, Scrapper will take over and I don't really trust those Contructicons" complained Bulkhead.
Wheeljack was beginning to lose his patience and Percepter noticed. "We need Autobots like you Bulkhead, Autobots with your experience and skill" said Percepter.
"Plus, it just won't be the same without you Bulk" added Wheeljack. Bulkhead's face began to soften. "Look, I have a job here that is really important, something I can't just leave behind. But, I can get you the resources and equipment you will need" said Bulkhead.
"Thanks Bulk. But if you ever change your mind, we'll gladly welcome you in" said a now grateful Wheeljack. "Whose next?" asked Percepter, as they both walked from the construction site Bulkhead worked in. "Next we go looking for a new leader" answered Wheeljack. "Maybe we should give Ultra Magnus a second chance. After all, if it does not workout we can always go for Springer" said Percepter. "Fine" said Wheeljack, though he didn't like the idea of giving Ultra Magnus another chance to ruin the Wreckers.
Wheeljack and Percepter transform into their alt modes. Wheeljack still has his earth mode, while Percepter turns into a Cybertronian tank. They make their way to the newly rebuilt Iacon, now serving as Cybertron's capital city. Inside Iacon, the two Wreckers head to a secure building, where the High senate are located. Two Titan class guards stand at the entrance.
"Halt, state your names and you reason for coming here" says one of the Titans.
"My name is Percepter and this is my friend Wheeljack. We have come to speak with Ultra Magnus," States Percepter.
"Fine, but will have to go through the security scanners before you go in" the other Titan.
"Is this really necessary?" Groaned Wheeljack as he went through the scanners.
"Absolutely, unless you want an escort." said the Titan smugly.
After finally getting through the security, Wheeljack and Percepter enter into the building and begin to search for Ultra Magnus. They end up instead finding Smokescreen.
"Wheeljack? Percepter? What are you guys doing here ?" asked Smokescreen.
"We're here to talk to Ultra Magnus, have you seen him?" asks Percepter.
"Yeah, I just saw him, he's 3 hallways away from here" answers Smokescreen.
"What are you doing here Smokescreen? I had no idea you were into politics," said Wheeljack.
"I'm not, I decided to follow Optimus Prime's footsteps and become a data clerk. It's a lot cooler than it sounds," says Smokescreen.
"Not sure following a military commanders footsteps would be becoming a data clerk but whatever." said Wheeljack.
"Anyway, I gotta go, see you around" said Smokescreen in a hurry.
Wheeljack and Percepter meet Ultra Magnus a few minutes later.
"…and that's why we want to form a new wreckers team" finished Wheeljack.
"And you want ME to lead the? YOU of all bots, Wheeljack, want ME to lead you?" asked Ultra Magnus in astondment.
"Hey, it was Percepter's idea, not mine." said Wheeljack.
"So will you join us once more Ultra Magnus?" Asked Percepter.
Ultra Magnus looked at both of them then said " I have duties here in the High senate. Moreover, it would be impossible to maintain my job here and lead the Wreckers. So no, I can't lead you".
" Pfft, I knew this would be pointless. Come on Perceptor, We're out of here." Said Wheeljack as he starts to walk away. Ultra Magnus didn't say anything. Perceptor follows Wheeljack, but not before looking at Ultra Magnus with a hint of disappointment in his optics.
(...)
All of the other bots the were chosen to join accepted. Those members besides Wheeljack and Percepter are Kup, Whirl, Warpath, Scoop, Blaster, Powerglide, and Springer as the new leader. Bulkhead, although no longer a member, provided the Wreckers with a ship and weapons.
"So, where do go now?" asked Percepter.
"Earth, we one more member we need to pick up," said Wheeljack with one of his famous smirks.
