This was by far the weirdest world they had landed on. At first it had looked tranquil, innocent. A massive waterfall roared down from a tall cliff. Trees grew thick around them and everywhere, organic matter. Blackout let out another disgusted sigh and Starscream turned to glare at him. In that moment Misfire, stuck in between the two feuding mechs, was very glad that looks couldn't kill. He let out a nervous squeak and stumbled into a tree that fell with a groan to the forest floor. "Be careful," Blackout snarled and Starscream growled darkly. Misfire bobbed his head in agreement and let Blackout pass him before following.
"I highly doubt Lord Megatron is here," Starscream snarled.
"You do not wish to see his return," Blackout retorted.
"Um, guys?" Misfire said nervously, staring up at something hanging above them.
"I think we must face the truth that Megatron is dead," Starscream hissed.
"If he survived your treacherous machinations surely he can survive and crash on a distant planet," Blackout sneered. "Unless you wish to lay claim to killing our glorious leader."
"Hey," Misfire said a little louder, his expression one of dread.
"Silence!" Blackout and Starscream shrieked in strange tandem.
WHUMP!
Like a blanket from above a thick white layer of snow fell straight from the sky to coat everything in sigh. Misfire let out a little squeal at the cold, Blackout yelled in surprise, and the weight of the snow took Starscream down to the ground. "I tried to warn you," Misfire grumbled and both his companions eyed him strangely for a moment.
"Never mind that," Starscream snarled. "We need to find shelter." Blackout turned his considerable bulk and made a path deeper into the woods. "And get me out of this stuff!" Starscream shrieked after his subordinate.
...
They had resumed their search of the dreadfully organic planet in vain attempt to find Megatron when they came upon something that would have fried the most creative Cybertronians logic circuit. On a frail branch attached to the edge of a cliff near a massive waterfall there was a tiny creature with a fat white nose and what looked like a box on his head. The branch was dipping perilously toward the distant ground as two furry masses with horn like ears clung to the branch. "STUPID, STUPID RAT CREATURES!" the little white creature shrieked just before the branch broke.
They went hurtling into the water below only to resurface a moment later. There was a mad dash to the shore and the two furry creatures cornered the white one near what appeared to be a large orange rock. The fuzzy ones argued until the rock, which was most definitely not a rock, lifted up its head and turned to stare at them. "SSSSS!" the fuzzy creatures hissed in panic. "THE DRAGON!" They promptly turned and made a mad dash into the woods while the white creature proceeded to yell at the so called dragon.
FOOMP.
In a surprising display the creature ejected flames out of its mouth to fry the hat the white creature was wearing before walking off. The three Decepticons exchanged bemused glances. "That's it," Starscream declared suddenly. "This is just too weird! We're leaving!"
"For once, Starscream," Blackout replied coolly. "We agree."
"But guys," Misfire whined.
"Silence!"
Misfire pouted but silenced anyway and the All Spark enjoyed a temporary respite from war in the Valley until the Rat Creatures came in force from the Eastern Mountains and the Hooded One, terrified of the All Sparks power, launched the cube back into space where it landed on another organic planet. This one known simply as Earth.
