Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with Transformers, except my OC, Rex. Hope you enjoy the story, and please R&R.


Season 1. Episode 1. The Beginning.


My name is Rex. I am an Autobot warrior who fought alongside Optimus Prime in the war for Cybertron. After Cybertron fell, I was shot off into space in stasis. I crash-landed on a remote planet called Earth, in a place called North America. This... is my story.


"Incoming!" Alex shouted from the ground next to my left foot. i spun, changing my hands into blasters as i turned. Three Decepticon sentries were flying towards me.

"Get back!" i shouted at Alex, my human counterpart.

She ran into the forest behind us. The three 'cons transformed and landed with ground-shaking crashes. They immediately pointed their guns at me and fired. i dodged, shooting at them with renewed vigor. i was still injured from my crash that brought me to Earth. My leg was slowly leaking Energon. I shot seven or eight times at one of the cons, and the blasts tore it apart. it fell to the ground in pieces. the other two ran towards me and i turned running into the forest. I hid behind a large tree and i used it for cover as the 'cons shot at me and i shot back. i heard two loud thuds and i looked around. the two 'cons were lying on the ground twitching. i shot both of them, and their sparks expired. "Alex!" i shouted.

"Over here!" i heard Alex shout back. i walked five or six steps and found her, hiding behind a large rock. i picked her up, and walked out of the forest. After we were clear of trees, i set her down and transformed into my chosen vehicle form: a light green Hyundai Elantra. We drove off towards the setting sun to search for the Autobot Base.


Transformers!

The Autobots will never back down or cower,

And will fight to the end of their darkest hour.

Optimus Prime is the leader, and he is really brave. Ratchet is the doctor, for when you need a save.

Arcee is reliable, she'll help you in a pinch. Bumblebee is the scout, he'll beat 'cons in a sinch.

Rex is the rookie, so we can't forget him!

Transformers!


"Ratchet, prepare the ground-bridge." Optimus Prime said to his medic. "If there is a source of untapped Energon, we must investigate, before the Decepticons can seize it."

"Opening a ground-bridge." said Ratchet.

"Arcee, Bulkhead, come with me." Optimus said as the ground-bridge opened behind him.

Arcee and Bulkhead walked forward, weapons at the ready. Together, Optimus, Arcee and Bulkhead walked into the ground-bridge.


"Hey Alex!" i said, "Wake up!"

Alex muttered in her sleep and jolted awake, rubbing her eyes with her fists.

"What's going on Rex?" She asked.

"I'm getting a signal of an untapped Energon deposit. Want to check it out?"

"Yes!" she shouted, pumping her fist. "Some action, finally."

I made a 90 degree turn and shot off, faster than i normally would, mostly because i had a feeling that today would be the day that i finally found Optimus again.


Optimus, Arcee and Bulkhead jumped out of the ground-bridge, guns at the ready. "No 'cons here Optimus." Arcee said.

"Keep your weapons at the ready though. we might be ambushed at any moment." Optimus replied, turning his Ion cannons back into hands, and walking into the cave in front of then. Arcee and Bulkhead flanked him, looking around and keeping their weapons up. **BOOM** The roof of the cave shook as a explosion shook the Autobots down to their spark chambers. Some dust and rubble rained down upon them.

"Optimus Prime! I know you are in the cave directly below me! come out and surrender now, before i blow this roof down onto you!"

"Scrap." Arcee said. "It's Megatron."


Me and Alex drove up over a hill, and we stopped. We could see the Energon source from where we were parked. But i could see a figure that was DEFINITELY not Optimus Prime standing on top of the cave.

"Megatron!" I whispered to Alex. "Big bad leader of the 'cons"

I backed up until The hill was blocking us from view. Alex got out and i transformed into my bot mode. My Autobot symbol gleamed in the rising sun, standing out as the one part of my body that was gold, embellished on my chest. I got down on my stomach and army-crawled to the very edge of the hill. Megatron was aiming his fusion cannon at the leader of the Autobots, who had obviously just come out of the cave, with two Autobots that i had never seen before. There were five Decepticon sentries, like the three i killed yesterday, standing behind Megatron aiming at him as well. I changed my hands into my gun and my unique signature, a shield. large round and glowing slightly due to the Energon flowing through it. "Stay here." i said to Alex. Then, without a second thought, i charged the six Decepticons.


Optimus was standing outside the cave, with Arcee and Bulkhead behind him, weapons drawn and pointing at Megatron. Suddenly, as Megatron opened his mouth to speak, one, two, three, four, five shots rang out and five Decepticon sentries sparks suddenly died, and they fell, one after the other, to the ground. Megatron looked around in surprise to see an Autobot charging towards him. Optimus, Arcee and Bulkhead took the opportunity to strike. They all fired as the unknown ally rammed Megatron straight in the chest sending him flying to the ground. The three Autobots jumped the ten feet to the roof of the cave, shooting at Megatron all the while. Megatron had no choice but to transform into his Cybertronian Jet mode and fly away, leaving the Energon to the Autobots. Optimus Prime turned towards me.

"Rex?" he asked me.

"In the flesh. Well... if i had flesh, then yes. it's me Optimus."

Optimus blinked once, then walked forward and shook my hand.

"It's good to see you old friend. May i introduce you to my fellow Autobots. Arcee and Bulkhead."

I shook each of their hands in turn, and Optimus said into his com-link system, "Ratchet, open the ground-bridge and send Bumblebee through. We are going to need some help carrying all this Energon. We also are going to have a new recruit. He and i fought against Megatron on Cybertron."

Ratchet said something to Optimus, and Optimus nodded.

"Rex," he said to me, " Welcome to Team Prime."

"Rex!" Alex shouted to me.

"Alex! come on out! it's safe now."

She ran up to me and looked up at the Autobots.

"Wow!" she said, her eyes widening at the sight. "You guys are so cool!"

I smiled.
