I wish to warn you all
Cyberstep story is not part of TFP, but his background of him was born on earth durning the war. I may decided on making a G1 story of him just as a sparkling, maybe, i dont know if i want to or not. Anyways, Hints, hints and hints. I will be mixing Oc's and main characters from the originals shows, to build up their ' autobot/decepticon, family tree' Horizon: A blue and gold seeker, who was once under megatron command as a breeding bot, later escaped from his grasps and joined the autobots, bonding with prowl and optimus son, blade. Carrier to Cyberstep, Fuse, Goldrush and fire. Adopted Son of Ratchet. Cyberstep: The Silver and gold mech, son of megatron, Nephew of optimus prime, Grandson of ratchet, brother of fuse, fire and Goldrush. Born on earth, raised as an autobot, hates megatron to the pits as he proves his worth as an autobot fighter, friend and family. Fuse: youngest brother, Twin to Fire, Blue and red mech. Mates to Red alert. Grandson of optimus prime Fire: Youngest brother, Minicon seeker, Blue and gold, frame shape of optimus prime. Grandson of optimus prime Goldrush: Black and gold praxian, Law enforcer, security second officer, Tactical officer. Limps on his smaller leg, frame shape of prowls, Son of Prowl.
- I may be your typical gray with fade in cybertronian golden tribal marks and red optics who look exactly like Megatron but we were different people, different personalities. I wanted to protect, he want to offline. I wanted peace and he.. he wanted destruction. So Drift gave Rodimus the wildest dream ever.. the Knights of Cybertron.
They said I end up like him, but I proved them wrong. I may have been his son but I was accepted to be part of the lost light. I guess Rodimus saw the difference in me that he didn't see in Megatron. Just like Optimus did.
"And four million years ago to the day, Optimus Prime stood where I now stand and turned down Megatron's first and only invitation to surrender." Cyber smirked and nodded his head his blue visor brightening up from the information.
"What happens here tomorrow will rank. Alongside those moments, tomorrow this patch of land becomes a launch pad. Tomorrow, I will board the lost light and set off in search of our ancestors. They were known as the Knight of Cybertron. They're real. I'm going to find them and I want you all to come with me." Rodimus voiced out the encouragement.
Cyber looked over to his carrier. "Bumblebee says it's your duty to stay here on a planet you no longer recognized. Among people who resent you for the sacrifices you've made in their name. I say: You've done your duty. The war is over. That day you never thought would come? That's today." Rodimus spoke out with the truth. Cyberstep knew it was true and he was happy about it.
"You've earn the right to see the universe without a gun in your hand." Cyber nodded as Horizon rubbed his optics.
"Kid knows how to work a crowd." Wheeljack stated as Horizon nodded.
"We could be witnessing a mass exodus at this rate." Hori held his head and then tapped his helmet with thought. Prowl snorted.
"Are you disagreeing or are your pistons playing up?" Wheeljack asked.
"Wheeljack, I can observe 800 moving objects and compute their directions of travel in 0.5 seconds. This is no different. As soon as Rodimus said he was leaving I mentally complied two lists: those who'd go with him and those who'd stay behind. Trust me. All reliable indicators suggest that tomorrow's launch.." Prowl explained, as he glared.
Hori looked down nervously and smiled. Prowl looked at him and frowned. "You're not going are you?" He asked as Hori nodded and sighs.
"I have to Prowl, your son is going on there and I need to watch him, so is Fire and Fuse. I have to watch Fire since one, he's a minicon and two Fuse doesn't protect him." Prowl sighed and nodded.
"Try not to offline yourself, we need someone here to put Wheeljack back in his place of inventing." Hori smiled softly as Wheeljack flails.
"I resent that!" Horizon laughed with a smiled as Prowl placed a small kiss on Horizon cheek.
"This is going to be one big non-event." Horizon reminded as Wheeljack and Prowl both nodded their helms.

Today.We'll good news and bad news. A nail ended up destroying himself by transforming over and over and over, non-stop to prove Rodimus stupidity. Burnt the frame and the t-cog but.. still active.
"He transformed himself to death." Ratchet explained, sliding out from under the slab. "His transformation cog looks like a lump of coal. He must've been changing non-stop for weeks. Where'd you find him?" Cyberstep questioned as he was looking over the offlined bot.
"Outside, on the steps he was a nail, A protester. He did this on purpose to draw attention to our illegal occupation of Cybertron. Thanks for look him over. Metalhawk and Skylight both said he'd only accepted a verdict of suicide if it came from y-" At that time, Bee jumped as if he saw a ghost as the offlined bot transformed into its vehicle mode.
Cyberstep had to laugh at him. "You jumped."
Bee glared at him."You're lucky I don't shock you if you weren't Goldrush brother." Cyber grins widely, almost as a playful insane smiled.
"Relax you two or I'll throw the wrench. It's just a reflex action. Rigor Morphs: the dead body assumes its preferred shape. And yeah. Sometimes. It's the alt mode." Ratchet explained as Ratchet looked at his hands.
"He wasn't dead when you brought him in. He still had a spark. It was tiny, but it was there. I should've been able to save him." Cyber mumbled, setting his hands on Ratchet shoulder.
"An overheated transformation cog! I've fixed millions of them! Millions!" Ratchet watched his hands shake. "It's these damn fingers. They're getting old. Seizing up." Ratchet grumbled as there was silence.
Cyber and Ratchet looked at Bee."We're leaving. With Rodimus. Tonight. I'm sorry, we've been waiting for the right moment to tell you. The massively awkward silence suggest that probably wasn't it." Ratchet explained as Bee looked began to harden.
"No, uh-uh. No way. You're joking, right. This is one of your jokes. You always joke. Knowing Goldrush is going but you.." Cyber looked away.
"I'm sorry Bee" Cyberstep mumbled.
"I need you both. You're the best there is-The only autobots to have saved the life of every mechs and Prime since Nominus." Bee explained.
"Precisely, I've been doing this too long. It's time someone else, other than Cyberstep, to become Chief Medical Officer- someone who isn't losing their touch." Ratchet looked away and down. A shadow casting over his face.
"I need to learn more. Earth has been my homeland for a long time, Bee. Born and raised on there. This.. this gives me a chance to discover who I truly am. Not a warrior, not a gladiator or a medic. I'll be with Ratchet to help him with most medical procedures. But this isn't my place yet." Cyberstep explained with a small smile.
"I'm panicking now. You made me panic. I've got the shakes. Look, look at the cane." The cane was shaking as Cyber rolled his optics. "See that? I'm not doing that on purpose." Cyberstep groans and shakes his head.
"You don't even need a cane anymore. I told you Bee, I've told you I found the spare parts I needed to-" Bee cuts Cyberstep off and glares at them.
"Did he seek you out? Rodimus did he give you all that scrap about finding the Knights of Cybertron and retracing our steps to the golden age. it's all a scripted you know Drift writes it for him." Bee declared as if he knew about it.
"Look it's not about the destination so much as the journey. Rodimus has promise to pick up some waifs and strays along the way." Ratchet stated, steading his hand as Cyberstep spoke up.
"You and I both know that not everyone accounted for. A lot of Autobots are still there and some of them could be injured. Maybe I can help them and help Ratchet find a successor in the process. Think of it- Think of it as my swan song." Cyberstep tried to persuade with convince in his tone.
-
"So, you're off then?" Prowl met up with Goldrush, Rewind and Chromedome. Goldrush nodded, look just like Prowl but with gold replacing white. " This is a setback Chromedome. A real setback." Prowl looked at Goldrush. "I'm disappointed in both of you.." Goldrush looked down.
"Yeah, well, I'm sure you'll get over it."Chromedome spoke softly.
"I'm going to level with you. Somehow-Dont asked me. How-Rodimus has found two hundred Autobots, plus my son, will to join him on his foolish crusade. We'll good riddance. I can make do without each and everyone of them but I can't-"
"Even Ratchet and Goldrush?" Chromedome asked but Prowl skipped pasted it.
"Make do without you and my son. You're both gifted. You both can do things no one else can and if I had either of your talents…" Prowl said with honesty.
"Primus help us all." Rewind groans for mercy as Goldrush smiled happily, leaning against his cane to put the extra weight on his small leg.
"Rewind! You're his best friend. Can't persuade him too.." Then Prowl then noticed. "You light's on. Are you recording this?"
Rewind nervously spoke. "Um.. yes?"
"We'll don't it's extremely annoying. You filming everything all the time." Prowl announced.
"I'm an archivist. I'm archiving. This could be an important conversation. It could have repercussions!" Rewind countered back. Goldrush chuckled. "Besides, can't you persuade your son not to go?"
"Rewind!" Goldrush whined, not wanting to deal with his sire, persuading him.
"Prowl, you and I go way back, yeah? You know I've done more than the Autobot cause then most and you know I've done things that are in the past. I bitterly- Oh forget it. "Chromedome stop trying to convince Prowl. "The point is using my 'talents' is the way you suggest is hardly going to help me draw a line under the past." Chrome walked out of the door with Rewind as Goldrush followed them, mostly limping.
"You know what..YOUR problem is Chromedome. You think just because the war is over we can afford to stop fighting," Prowl yelled as Goldrush heard his sire table being thrown into the ground before he heard his sire spoke through the bond.
::Be careful and watch your carrier. Watch them for me since I can not...:: Goldrush smiled and nodded silently.

Fuse stood beside Red Alert, watching and listening him talk. "I'm going to need to search your Briefcase, Brainstorm." Fuse snicked and smirked.
"You're kidding right? This case contains a work-in-progress. if I open it outside of a controlled environment. Do you know what'll happen? End of the world, my friends. End of the world. I'm serious. I'm serious. I'm almost certainly serious, besides…" Brain storm looked at Fused.
"Go on and speak…" Fuse grumbled with no interested at all.
"I'm exempt from all security checks, see? Special dispensation from Rodimus himself. It's authentic, check out the rubsign," Brainstorm hold the badge up as he leans in and looks over it.
Red Alert started to show the stress and look of freaking out. Fuse set his hand on Red Alert shoulder and hums softly. "So as head of security I'm supposed to let the Galaxy most famous weapon engineer on board without checking his bags?" Red Alert question with slight nervousness.
"The Galaxy's most famous weapon engineer, eh? You've been reading my autopedia entry?" Brainstorm asked with interested. Fuse growls.
"Did he say famous? I'm sorry he meant to say notorious, now get. Who's next?" Brainstorm glared at Fuse and walked into the lostlight as Fuse snorted. Fuse crossed his arms as Red Alert chuckled at Fuse.
"Name?" Fuse mumbled at the bot.
"Megatron. but you can call me death." Fuse looked at Swerve and shaked his head.
"Swerve. Please tell me you're here to wave us off." Fuse pleaded with annoyance.
"No, no no. I'm here for the quest. Love a good quest. Haven't been on a quest since the whole Luna 1 thing, the Moonquest." Swerve squealed with excitement. Fuse started to growl.
"Stop saying quest, it's annoying." Fuse snapped.
"So can I go board?" Swerve asked, Fuse snorted.
"OF course- if you promise to never ever speak." Fused growled. Red Alert set his hand on Fuse shoulder.
"Why don't you check on Radio System?" Fuse nods and walked away toward the security room.
"I'm telling ya Red, he sleeps like a turned off radio, not sounds at all." Red shaked his head.
"I would like to see that." Fuse chuckled and walked into the security room, watching the soundless, sparkling recharge in the crib. The red and silver helm with blue and silver chest, legs and arms were red laced with blue waves. Small antennas that matched like Optimus would spark each time in the sparklets recharge. "Recharging like a sparkling."
Fuse was known to have an additude. He was the oldest, the biggest actually. Like his grandsire, he was a truck former. Fuse was a deep blue and gold armor. He never favored his twin, Fire, who was a like him but with a lighter blue and gold armor, seeker shape.
He is quick to get annoyed but there was a few he respected, his grandsire, his carrier and his mate. Sometimes it would be Ratchet. He didn't have the spark to care about anyone but his mate and sparkling.
He was proud to have his sparkling.

Goldrush, Cyberstep, Ratchet, Chromedome and Rewind were walked toward the launch site. "Ten minutes to launch. You know Rewind, if you had a decent alt mode we wouldn't have to walk to the launch pad." Chromedome complained.
Cyberstep chuckled as goldrush smiled. " Oh, it's started. The alt mode bashing every time we get agitated. You do realized were also walking because of goldrush and his limpy leg, right?" Rewind smirked behind his masked as goldrush glared.
"Well excused me for being born like this." Goldrush said coolly. Cyberstep and ratchet looked at each other with worried.
They knew goldrush had a problem of walking and understanding. Goldrush would glitch from the stress or the missed input words.
"Let's have a go at rewind because he turns into a giant memory stick and not a super space tank or or-whatever." Rewind mumbled.
"And drag my limping aft into this conversation. who could transform into a decent police car with a busted tire!" Cyberstep mumbled a sorry for that one. Goldrush glared and sighs.
" I just don't see the point of turning into a giant memory stick you might as well be a mono former or a you know police car." Chromedome admitted.
"Remember the old saying. Everyone shape serves a purpose." Goldrush nodded to rewind in.
"Yeah? Tell that to skylynx." Ratchet said. Cyber gulped.
"Yeah… i wouldn't want to be torn to shred by him." Cyberstep looked away in fear. Everyone laughed at cyberstep.
"So the big baddy has a fear of someone bigger than him." Cyberstep glared.
"I do not! I just don't want to be torn to shred by someone who walks on four, has razor sharp teeth and flies around like a prehistoric dinosaur." Cyber snorted as rewind and ratchet chuckled at him as goldrush shook his head.
Something fell from the sky as it landed in front of them. Whirl got up with cyclonus on the ground. "Whirl? You okay? What's going on?" Ratchet asked as cyber and him walked over to whirl.
Goldrush and the three watched them." He attacked me after i caught him desecrating corpses. I suggest you look away now if you have an aversion to explode heads." Whirl warned as cyber step up to whirl.
"He's offlined, whirl. Whatever he's done. He's not a threat best lower the gun, eh?" cyberstep tried to convince him,
"You talking me down, doc? is this you talking me down? like i'm some kind of maniac that needs….. that needs talking down? " Cyberstep blinks confusedly.
" I'm just saying.." Whirl cutted him off as cyberstep glared.
" No, i'm just saying, he started it. I'm finishing it. and a nice, clean head shot is always the best way to finish it." Whirl explained.
"Whirl list-" Soon a light reddish-purple beam shot out of the ground and through whirl chest, straight to the sky as whirl felled backward. Cyberstep ran to whirl side, checking the damage as the others beside goldrush, pulled the minibot out of the ground.
"C'mere pal. I don't believe we've met." chromedome asked.
"Have i… miss the launch?" Goldrush frowned and shook his head.
"By the shadow of the underbase! did i do that?" Cyber nodded. Tailgate visor flared out. "Stay calm stay calm. "Tailgate chanted to himself. " He de- he de- he's de- He's dead. I killed him!" Then tailgate plopped onto the ground.
" This is turning into a very odd day." Rewind admitted.
"Whoever he is. he's just had some sort of panic attack. He mention the launch. I'll fix him once we're on board the lost light. I'm going to regret saying this but we'd best bring whirl long too. We can't risk leaving him… we'll anywhere really" Ratchet explained.
"I'll er catch you guys up.." Rewind said as cyber and the rest nodded. Cyber stood up and picked both cyclonus and whirl up.
-
When they finally made on the lost light and into the medibay. Everything went downhill. Cyberstep tensed and ratchet saw this. The alarm went off just right on time as cyberstep bursted out of the medibay doors.
"Scrap!" Ratchet watched.
"It had to be the siblings or the carrier." Ratchet spark filled with worried, he loved the little sparks he happy to call grand sparks.
Cyberstep stormed down the halls in the run, before slamming the door open wide. "Would somebody please tell me what just happened? Perceptor? Mainframe? Highbrow? Anyone? Come On!"Rodimus spoke in worried.
Cyber ran over and pushed the mech away, typing away. " We quantum jumped before we were ready! We've hopped halfway across the galaxy and we're flying blind." The mech that cyber pushed stumbled and rubbed his head." I'm sorry i don't know why!" The mech whined.
"Damage?" Rodimus asked in worried.
" One of the rare thrusters exploded, deck six is in flames and… " Cyberstep tensed. "Oh no… no no. My carrier there!"
Rodimus looked at cyberstep. "What? what is it?" Rodimus questioned.
"We've got a hull breach- one of the hangers on the upper decks. Resealing.. now, structural integrity restored, Heat shields in place, rodimus?" The mech asked and looked at rodimus.
"Set us down, we're not going anywhere until we find out why the quantum engines malfunctioned." Rodimus ordered and pointed out. Cyberstep growled.
" Sensors indicated we're missing fizzel, polaris, waverider, hyperion, rad, Horizon.. we're 40 autobots down, all told. They must of have, i mean, the breach must've.. "Drift tried to explained.
"They're not dead, i'll tell you that now. No one dies on my watch. No one, not this time. How i know, because cyberstep in a furious rage paging beast right now until his carrier is safe. We'll find them as soon as we touch down. We'll find them.."
Cyberstep stand behind rodimus as rodimus looked up, making a promised smiled.
"We better find them.. or it's your head.. rodimus."Rodimus gulped and smiled nervously. He would see the red glow under cyberstep visor as cyberstep stormed out of the command room.
No one has ever… ever seen cyberstep this ticked off since.. we'll since he gotten ahold of starscream and destroyed starscream wings. Cyberstep was one to accept mercy but when it comes to harming family, he gets royally ticked off. The bots, including drift all gulped.
"Remind me why he's here?" Rodimus sighs and rubs his optic's, they knew the only few mechs not scared of cyberstep was ratchet, magnus, even optimus prime himself, ironhide and cyberstep family. They we're the closest ones to cyberstep and he keeps it that way.. that is until his mate got involved with him and was left on cybertron with prowl.
The ship has landed on the planet as cyberstep stepped out. "Big place. Where do we start?" Rodimus asked.
"How about over there?" Magnus pointed out as the red with teal swirls stepped out of the ship and crossed his arms.
" Not a bad place to start." Magnus looked down at the mech and smiled.
"Under the meteor shower?" Rodimus looked up at the falling bots.
"That's not meteor shower.."Cyberstep walked out of the ship as they turned to him. "That's my carrier, fizzle, polaris, waverider, hyperion and rad. Their burning up as they enter the atmosphere." Cyberstep explained as roddy pinched his nose bridge.
"not a good start." he muttered
"Sorry?" Magnus asked.
"I said not a good start!"Rodimus spoke up a bit louder. Something's been nagging cyberstep from the start though. Ever since fuse told him about brainstorm, he couldn't place his finger on it.
"Im coming for you carrier. "Cyber looked up at the sky as he watched the last falling autobot.
Rodimus, magnus and the red bot watched him. Cyberstep transformed and drove off. Everyone knew it was his job.. everything fell onto his shoulder. When optimus offlined, he became the matrix guardian until rodimus accepted the responsibility. That burden was his.
Protecting his family was his burden.
Fighting the decepticons wasn't his burden… but being megatron's son… was.
Protecting cybertron.. a place he never called home.. was his burden.
His temper comes from his fears.. and now.. right now.. he is fearing.
