10 years ago, an advance race that resides in deep space is known as Cybertronians. Among the Cybertronians are Autobots, fighter for piece; and Predacons, chaos bringers. The Predacon leader is known as Megatron. He plundered countless of planets dry from energy siphoning. His path of destruction took him to Planet Earth. On Earth is a world renowned archeologist known as Doctor Kenneth Onishi. Megatron kidnap him to found the location of a massive energy source. The Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, stopped Megatron in his tracks every time but Optimus didn't know was the source of Megatron's interest, Fortress Maximus. Megatron had little success with his Predacon team so he raid an Autobot ship that crashed landed and converted them into Decepticons known as Commandos. With Scourge as leader, the Autobots had a challenge. During their time of need, a new Autobot name Ultra Magnus stepped in. At first, he wanted the matrix and had nothing to do with Optimus' team. But overtime, he lend a help when need and if he felt like it. But the stakes rose when the Decepticons found Cerebros and controlled Fortress Maximus. Every attempt to control him was foiled by Dr. Onishi's son Koji. After being Megatron was reborn as Galvatron, Galvatron had stolen Fortress Maximus' power. Both Optimus and Ultra Magnus linked up as Omega Prime and defeated Galvatron in the Earth's core. With Galvatron, the Predacons, and the Decepticons arrested and hauled off to prison, people of Earth can breathe a sigh of relief. Most people say that Galvatron was the first and last threat on Earth and even Optimus agrees. What Optimus didn't know that a new threat was growing and this battle will be for keeps?

Somewhere on the dark side of the moon lies the Decepticon warship called The Hydra Cannon where it lies in wait for the moment when Scrash has enough power to raise the Decepticon mother ship and descend to plunge Earth into darkness. The Hydra Cannon starship was constructed on the Moon, largely using Autobot slave-labor until the Autobots conducted a raid to free them eons ago. She was built as a means to contain the Hydra Cannon weapon itself, and serve as transport for the Decepticons under Scrash's command for their trip home to Cybertron. The ship has a throne room for Scrash, living quarters for the crew, energon smelters, and special vats for converting other energy sources into energon. The ship's arsenal includes 16 particle-combustion canons (port), 16 laser emitters (starboard), a primary star field missile launcher, and an Overshock sonic battery. It also has a shield that would reflect incoming beam weapons back at attackers.

The Decepticon named Scrash is sitting on his throne on the bridge of his warship. Looking down from where he was, he saw his army. He smiled at them as he heard of their reputation when they were working for Galvatron at one time. After their defeat, they were sent to the Graviton Prison which was a maximum-security holding facility for the vilest criminals in the galaxy. The Prisoners are kept under a heavy-gravity field to limit their movements while giant Warden Robots patrol tirelessly. Even if a prisoner were able to escape, the entire prison sits at the mouth of a black hole, and it is impossible to leave without a ship outside to pick you up. Scrash remembered he and his Jet Corps had to break them out because he wanted an army that believed in his cause. Scrash stood up in front of his team and spoke out to them. "My people…for many years, we have been a broken faction... Shunned, oppressed, and conquered by those we sought to escape. Ten years ago, I asked for time, and that time was granted by you. You, the strength in my arm, and the holders of my dreams…our forefathers embarked on the greatest exodus in the history of all mankind, an exodus for freedom. The Decepticons became that freedom…our new world changed our bodies. At first, it weakened us, but in fact, we were growing…stronger. In the time you have given me, I have rebuilt our faction, I have rebuilt our strength, and I have rebuilt our pride! Our enemies at home have been re-educated. We have given them new insights into our cause. On this day, we stand united once more. On this day, those driven to divide us will hear our voice! On this day, we shall act as one, and we shall be ignored NO MORE! Defenders of the Decepticon dream, NOW IS OUR TIME!"

The Decepticon army consisting of The Ruination Team aka The Commandos - Mega-Octane, Ro-Tor, Movor, Rollbar, Armorhide and the Jet Corps who consist of Nightfire, the leader of the Jet Corps, Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk stealth jet; Sunstorm, a McDonnell-Douglas F-15 Eagle fighter jet; Caliburst, Grumman X-29 fighter jet; Slugslinger, a XF-23 Black Widow II fighter jet and last but not least a new member of the Decepticon ground forces named Man-O-War, a four-tracked ICBM launcher vehicle.

They all cheered while clapping their hands together after hearing this speech. Scourge took note of his new leader's impressive speech and spoke out to the army while standing beside his leader's throne. "I too share Scrash's sentiment. Take heed, we have no other choice. Let us fight venerably with courage and pride, without fear for we are the Decepticons…the most powerful army in history!"

They cheered again shouting their battle cry and raising their fists in the air. "Decepticons forever!"

Transformers Robots in Disguise (RID): Return of the Decepticons

Chapter 1

Army

Location: Autobot Headquarters on Earth in the middle of Metro City

Things had been quiet since the end of the war against the Predacons and Decepticons, and many of the Autobots had grown restless. Earth Politicians had begun debating about the need for the Autobots' services anymore, since the Predacons or Decepticons had not been heard of for so long.

Meanwhile in Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany…
Time: 2:47am GST

A black oil tanker, followed by a mobile anti-aircraft truck of made-up origin, armed with a large double-barreled cannon mounted on the flatbed, a tiny Rockwell International NASA Space Shuttle, a Kaman Aerospace SH-2G Super Seasprite helicopter, a General Dynamics M1 Abrams MBT tank, and a FMC XR311 combat support military jeep rolled up behind him. Each parked on the outside hill of the base.

"Scourge, TRANSFORM!" The truck of the vehicle detached itself from the rest of the tanker and split open as a black and gray head came out of the gap. The truck stood on its tail and the bottom half split apart to form legs. A fearsome warrior now stood where the tanker had been.

"Mega-Octane, TRANSFORM!" The missile truck's cab split open as two arms formed from the head. The back folded up on itself, then split to become legs leaving a giant robot in its place.

"Armorhide TRANSFORM!" The tan tank leapt into the air, virtually inverting itself before it landed as a robot.

"Rollbar, TRANSFORM!" a higher pitched voice added as the jeep too seemed to invert itself, leaving a robot with a huge gun positioned on its shoulder.

"Movor, TRANSFORM!" The space shuttle split in two and performed a three point landing as a cocky looking robot.

"Ro-Tor, TRANSFORM!" The final Decepticon, a dark blue helicopter, tail end split to form arms and its cockpit came down to form legs, leaving the final transformer.

"Lord Scrash, we're ready to move," Scourge reported. "Now you will be able to see the Commandos in action."

Location: Decepticon Mother ship.

Scrash looked at the monitor with ADA, a woman similar to the Autobot's T-AI system who was monitoring the situation. "If they take out this target then soon we will take this planet but these Commandos better do the job, Scourge," Scrash advised.

"They will strike like a fist of steel," Scourge assured. "Nothing can stop them. Mega-Octane has twin laser cannons. Ro-Tor has sting blades. Armorhide has plasma morters. Rollbar is all-terrain terror. Movor, air attack. Together they're all action. Overwhelming power, applied with absolute and devastating precision and all to serve you, Lord Scrash."

ADA narrowed her eyes at Scourge's promise. "You better hope so Scourge," ADA said. "I calculated 3 to 1 chance of you failing this mission and Lord Scrash does not allow failure."

"Do not worry I'll assure you, that it will not happen."

Country: Germany

All seems normal on the military base, until a targeting scope appears on screen. It examines various parts of the German base. The Decepticons from the outside then launch a surprise attack, completely decimating the German base until they retrieved their objective which was a large container full of energy. The humans were no match against these mighty machines. "Wahhooo! That was fun," Rollbar said as he killed the last human solider with his blaster.

"All right, listen up. I've got the energy. Let's move out!" Mega-Octane said. With that, they all transformed into their vehicle modes and drove off with their prize in their possession.

Mega-Octane was pleased with their mission success. "Ahaha, that was like taking candy from a baby," he said.

"Indeed it was, Mega-Octane," Scourge agreed.

Location: Autobot Base

News was reported about the Decepticons most recent attack. Optimus was watching the newscast and he wasn't happy. "I can't believe it," Optimus sighed. "It has to be a mistake."

"I'm afraid it's true Optimus," T-Ai said. "Those were Decepticons alright."

Optimus pondered in silent about his next move. "T-Ai, alert all Autobots," Optimus ordered. "Tell them the Armistice has been broken and the war has continued."

"Right Optimus." T-Ai couldn't believe that the war has been restarted and everyone on the planet is once again in danger of the Decepticons.

Location: Highway

On the highway, the Decepticon commandos were chit-chatting amongst themselves from the recent battle at the German base, as Scourge turn on his radio to report of his progress. "Scourge to base, the mission was a success," he reported. "And we are now heading for the final approach to coordinates three-seven-alpha for the rendezvous point extraction."

Scrash was pleased with his new addition to his army. "Well done Scourge, you and your team live up to your reputation," Scrash praised. "The Jet Corps will meet you in 013 hours. If you meet any resistance on your way there, deal with them personally."

"By your command," Scourge said. He then radioed the rest of his teammates "Let's move out team, we can't disappoint Lord Scrash."

"Yes Sir!" the Commandos stated.

Not too far behind the Decepticons were three ordinary vehicles approaching them. A silver Mercedes-Benz ML320, a white Lamborghini Diablo police highway pursuit vehicle, and a blue flame hooded Dodge Viper. They were fast approaching the convoy. There was a police chirp and everyone looked back. "Hold it right there Deceptacreeps, you're not going anyway," Prowl stated.

"Heads up, we got company," Rollbar said.

"It's the Autobots," Ro-Tor said.

"Decepticons, TRANSFORM!" The truck of the vehicle detached itself from the rest of the tanker and split open as a black and gray head came out of the gap. The truck stood on its tail and the bottom half split apart to form legs. A fearsome warrior now stood where the tanker had been.

"Mega-Octane, TRANSFORM!" The missile truck's cab split open as two arms formed from the head. The back folded up on itself, and then split to become legs leaving a giant robot in its place.

"Armorhide TRANSFORM!" The tan tank leapt into the air, virtually inverting itself before it landed as a robot.

"Rollbar, TRANSFORM!" a higher pitched voice added as the jeep too seemed to invert itself, leaving a robot with a huge gun positioned on its shoulder.

"Movor, TRANSFORM!" The space shuttle split in two and performed a three point landing as a cocky looking robot.

"Ro-Tor, TRANSFORM!" The final Decepticon, a dark blue helicopter, tail end split to form arms and its cockpit came down to form legs, leaving the final transformer. Each of them is armed with a blaster and they all fired at the Autobot Brothers. The Brother dodged the assault and move in for battle. "Okay brothers, let's get them," Prowl said.

"Payback time, Autobots!" Mega-Octane shouted as he fired his gun at the Autobot bros.

Ro-Tor and Movor took to the air to strike at them from above while Armorhide and Rollbar continued blasting them. Scourge unleashed his laser shoulders at them. "Decepticons, Delay the Autobots, our pick up is heading towards us in 009 hours from now."

"Yes Sir!" the Commandos shouted as they continued the battle.

The Autobots Brothers switched to robot mode. With their weapons drawn, they lunged towards their opponents. The Decepticons opened fire but most of their attempts missed. They had to hold the Autobots back and avoid close combat. X-Brawn rushed in for a tackle and knocked Ro-Tor to the ground. "Give it up Decepticons," he said.

"Never," Mega-Octane shouted. "We'll scrap you before we give up to you scums."

Then 4 unidentified jets arrived to the scene. They were armed and dropped missiles on the battle scene. The Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk stealth jet was leading the air raid. He was happy to have some target practice. "Jet Corp, we arrived to the scene, destroy the Autobots and secure the container," he said.

"Yes sir," the jets said and broke formation. The jets came back around for drop number two and the assault was worse than before. Sideburn noticed the party crashers and opened fire. "Prowl, who are those guys?" he asked.

"Don't know," Prowl said. "But they have to be taken down."

The jets came together and swooped in. The Commandos moved out of the way as the jets tackled the brothers to the ground. They climbed to the skies as they switched to robot mode. "Nightfire TRANSFORM!" The XF-23 Black Widow II fighter jet transformed into a robot.

"Sunstorm TRANSFORM!" The McDonnell-Douglas F-15 Eagle fighter jet transformed into a robot.

"Caliburst TRANSFORM!" The Grumman X-29 fighter jet transformed into a robot.

"Slugslinger TRANSFORM!" The Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk stealth jet transformed into a robot.

Each carried hand held missile weapon pointed at the Autobot bros. Nightfire had a sinister smile on his face. "You're way out of your league Autobots," he chuckled. "You have no clue who you're messing with."

"We eat Autobots like you for breakfast," Sunstorm snickered.

Slugslinger had a vile look on his face. "Prepare to die Autobots!" he said.

"No way flyboy, you have no idea who you're messing up," Prowl said. He locked on and fired. Sideburn followed suit and released hell. As the Autobots and the Decepticons continued to battle, Mega-Octane decided that the battle went on long enough "Ok troops, let show these chumps what we're made off." Mega-Octane leapt into the air and transformed, as the four smaller components did the same. Ro-Tor and Movor became arms and hands, Armorhide and Rollbar became legs and feet. The four connected themselves to their leader, as a large chest plate and a golden lined head attached themselves to the base body. With a roar, the new creation shouted for all to hear, "Ruination awakens!"

Ruination takes out his guns and starts blasting at the Autobot Bros. Meanwhile Scourge radioed H.Q. "Scourge to base, The Jet Corps have arrived on time but we are under fire from the Autobots, requesting to beam us out."

Back on the Decepticon Mother ship...

ADA got the message and turned to her master: "Shall this request be carried out Lord Scrash?" she asked.

Scrash crossed his arms and nodded his head: "Proceed. Teleport them all and have them meet me on the bridge."

Location: Highway

With Ruination on the field, the Brothers decided to retreat. They made a run for the forest to lose but the Decepticons followed. The Brothers opened fire to break their assault line and to provide cover. Nothing worked. Ruination took flight and charged straight for the Autobots. The Brothers saw their reaper and brace for the worse then poof. They were gone. The Brothers were confused. "Is my mind playing tricks?" Sideburn wondered.

"What was that?" X-Brawn asked.

"I don't know," Prowl said. "They had us and they vanished. My sensors are not picking them up."

"So they left?" Sideburn asked.

"They did but why?" Prowl wondered.

Location: Decepticon mother ship
Area: Bridge

The Decepticons appeared on the bridge from their battle. Ruination was still on the assault and saw the wall. Too fast to stop, he broke up and the Commandos bounced off the wall and landed on their feet. The door hissed open as Scrash entered the room. He was pleased with his lineup. "You all did well," he praised. "But going up against the Autobots brothers was not part of my plan, but none the less, there is a plan where we can use the Autobots to our advantage."

"How?" Scourge wondered.

Scrash turned to ADA as she pulled up the Autobot Brothers' profile. She hovered in the air and pointed at Sideburn. "It's been known that this one have an obsession with red sports cars," she said. "I believe that we can use his craving against him."

"Not to bash you or anything but we already tried that," Movor said. "Megatron lured Sideburn into a trap to get Optimus to surrender but it failed. Plus Sideburn's obsession caused nothing but trouble."

Scourge snarled as he remembered the Movor's mistake from space. Movor picked up the hint and coward. "How many times do I have to apologize for accidently shooting you?" Movor said.

"You'll get your day," Scourge said. Movor went pale with that remark. "What Movor said is right," Scourge agreed. "What makes this time any different?"

Just then 5 automobiles came rolling in; One was a black Kenworth K100 Aerodyne sleeper truck pulling a long, dark silver trailer, a yellow Tyrell P-34 Six-Wheeler F-1 race car, a maroon Porsche 928, a dark grey Ferrari 308 GTB sports car, and a white Lambourghini Countach. The Decepticon army turned around to face them. Scrash gave a command to them: "Stunticons, present yourselves."

"Motormaster, TRANSFORM!" The black truck stood on its cab, as powerful arms unfolded from the trailer and the top half whirled around to reveal a glaring face.

"Drag Strip, TRANSFORM!" The small yellow F-1 racer yelled as its hood flipped backwards as the rear end extended straight onwards to form legs, and the large wheeled sides became arms.

"Breakdown TRANSFORM!" The white Lamborghini's hood flipped behind it as the back end split and rotated down to become legs, leaving a wildly grinning robot in its place.

"Dead End, TRANSFORM!" A red Porsche followed the same pattern as the Lamborghini, as a dark robot screamed the activation.

"Wildrider TRANSFORM!" Rang through the clearing as the wild looking grey Ferrari transformed, leaving a wild maniac in its place.

"The Stunticons?" Nightfire questioned. "My lord, is it necessary to call them?"

"It is, for you see, the war-like Decepticons that's us are given mostly military vehicles as alternate forms, while the more peaceful Autobots are given civilian vehicles. I needed to have my own car team, the Stunticons. At some point in Cybertron's recent history, the Stunticons were deemed psychotic and too dangerous to function in society, and as a result were placed into perpetual stasis lock inside of a prison facility. I freed them of course, knowing that the Autobots have the SpyChangers and what not. Even Scourge has a civilian vehicle, but the Autobots know of him too well," Scrash explained.

"I still say my boys could handle the Autobots," Nightfire said. "I mean they already know the cease-fire has been broken. We don't need Deceptitrash helping us"

Motormaster whipped out his large, silver, vacuum-metalized sword and points its sharp end at Nightfire's neck, "Watch your words, Lord Scrash knows what he is doing,"" he stated in a thundering voice that has the hollow, doom-laden tone of an echo from a bottomless well.

"Oh does he?" Nightfire questioned.

"I find your lack of faith disturbing Nightfire," Scrash said.

"I say we all go back down then and destroy the Autobots once and for all," Nightfire suggested.

Scrash shook his head in disagreement, "Patience Nightfire, I know your lust for battle is at hand, but if we were to go in full force, we'd end up like Galvatron and his goons. That's a mistake I cannot allow. We first have to know their tactics and weakness beforehand. Then when their guard is down, that's when we strike."

"But my lord…"

"Are you questioning my leadership, Nightfire?" Scrash stated as he crossed his arms.

"No," Nightfire said. He knew his place and the last thing he wanted to do and to make Scrash angry.

"Good," Scrash said. "I don't want any insubordination amongst my ranks. Proceed with the operation. Sideburn is to be captured at all cost," Scrash said.

"As you command sire," Nightfire said. "Let's rock and roll boys." He turned to his team and led them out the bridge.
