Chapter 1: A new bot and new powers

Arcee and I were on the road one night, on a routine patrol. It was a nice quiet night. Nothing but the sound of Arcee's engine and the sounds of her tires rolling over the black top, that is until we passed by this old abandoned mining town. As we were passing by we heard the faint sounds of metal on metal clashing together. So we pulled over and radioed the base.

"Arcee to base, did anyone radio for backup?" she asked as the clanging and clashing started to get closer.

"No, everything is fine. Arcee, is something wrong?" Ratchet said sounding concerned.

"There might be, Jack and I were passing by one of the old mining towns in the area when we heard metal clashing. We thought it was one of the others, but now were not sure."

"I'll radio Bulkhead and Bumblebee to see if they can get there on time."

"Arcee look!" I exclaimed as Arcee turned just enough to see what was going on. Just on the outside of the town there were two bots. One face we recognized automatically as Arachnid, the other was a completely new one. This bot looked really high-tech and really low-tech at the same time.

Just when Arcee was about to go help him out Arachnid struck with one of her bladed legs, which the new bot blocked with one of his arms instead of one the two swords he held in either hand. Arcee had just been given proof of just how thick his armor was, and instead of striking back with one of his swords, he sheathed them and started knocking Arachnid senseless with his fists.

The next thing Arcee and I saw was the new bot doing a round house kick to Arachnids face sending her flying at least 20 ft. backwards into a small rock wall. Then in the blink of an eye his hands turned into what looked like the barrels of a mini-gun, but when he started shooting there were no bullets. What came out of his guns were pulses of energon. He was only shooting for less than 20 seconds when Arachnid finally decided that it wasn't worth it and flew away in her helicopter form.

As she left the new bot looked at us. He just stood there staring at us for almost a minute, then he started coming our way. As he was closing in on us Arcee decided that it was time to transform and take a battle stance.

That's when I remembered that robot that Silas created as a knockoff of Optimus, the knockoff that MECH made.
