Transformers: Resurrection

The thunder roared and the lightning lit up the night sky. The rain became harder. It stung as it hit the skin. Lightning flashed again. Every time the lightning flashed a glimpse of Autobot City can be caught. Everybody is inside, staying out of the rain.

"Man, the lightning out there will fry the circuits of a Sekonian Eel Bot." Sideswipe said.

"Yeah, it will probably eat the enamel off my paint job too." Sunstreaker said.

"Well, you guys don't have to worry about it. I'm the one who has to drive in it." Dustin said.

Dustin hung out with the Autobots ever since they saved him from Trypticon. Three months ago, Trypticon stomped his way through Pittsburgh. Casualties were somewhat light but Trypticon still destroyed a quarter of the city. Dustin was in town to watch a football game when Trypticon attacked. The Decepticon city had kicked Dustin's 2002 Chevy Cavalier while Dustin was still inside. The impact mangled the car and trapped Dustin inside. Metroplex and Defensor had come to the rescue. The two Protectobots: First Aid and Streetwise rescued Dustin. Since then Dustin helped out the Autobots when they needed it. Dustin was an average guy. He was about to graduate college and worked at Lucky's Sports Tavern and Nelson Dining Hall. The 5'7", brown haired, green eyed bartender studied the Autobots. He was fascinated by them ever since he found out about them. He used to play football for Ohio University as a wide receiver. He got most of his work outs by practicing with the Dinobots. His friend Nick Mathias also admired the Autobots. Nick was about 6'2" short blonde hair, blue eyes and goatee. He mainly helped First Aid and Perceptor with the injured Autobots. Autobot City was now located outside of Athens. It moved from its Oregon location to Athens, Ohio. Spike and Carly had moved to Athens after Carly got a job as a doctor at Ohio University Osteopathic Center. The Autobots moved as well. They positioned Autobot City near Albany in a vacant field. People drive out of Athens down State Route 50 towards Albany to see the massive city.

"Hey Nick, what time is it?" Dustin asked.

"Almost nine."

"Damn, I gotta be at work at ten thirty. And I have to drop some history notes off to Liz. She and Katie are working late at Nelson. I'll be back in a couple of hours."

Dustin walked out of Metroplex and got into his car, which was a 2007 Ford GT. He pulled out then drove away. His headlights flashed across the wooded area that surrounded Autobot City. The figure stood among the trees while Dustin drove off. The figure stood about eight feet tall. It stumbled towards the Autobot camp. Alarms went off inside.

"Something has tripped the proximity alarm." Bluestreak said.

Some of the Autobots ran outside to see what had tripped the alarm. Mirage, Hound, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Bluestreak and Cliffjumper ran outside into the rain and were stunned by what they saw.

"Holy Cybertron!" they all said at once.

The figure came into the light. It was Brawn.
