Legal Schtick: I don't own Transformers, just write about 'em. Hasbro/Takara are the guys that actually own 'em. Go talk to them.
Warnings: Political pop-culture jokes in here, big time. I'm still assuming I have to warn about those.
A Day Late and a Buck Short
It is the year 2007.
It had been months since the Autobots and the Nebulons had defeated the allied evil forces of the Decepticons and the Hive. They had not been heard from since. The remaining Quintessons had never tried to resurface, either. For once, it looked like the galaxy was finally going to see peace.
On Earth, Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus were overseeing the construction of a new addition to the embassy building. Suddenly, Optimus received a transmission from Blaster. He opened up his commlink.
"Yes, Blaster?" he asked.
"Yo, Prime!" the communications expert replied. "Some humans dropped in from outta the blue, and they say they wanna rap with you!"
Prime was surprised. The Witwickys were on vacation, and the embassy was closed since it was under construction. He wasn't expecting a visit from any other humans here today. He shrugged it off and said, "Alright, then. Send them in."
As he closed the commlink, he turned to Magnus and asked, "Were there any representatives from Earth scheduled to come today?"
"Not to my knowledge, Prime," Magnus answered. "Maybe it's a group of tourists?"
At that moment, a large group of humans wearing blue coats and caps stepped into the room. One carrying a clipboard approached the two Autobots.
"Optimus Prime, sir?" he addressed the Autobot leader. "We're from the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency. We're here because of a..." He paused to check his clipboard. "...Decepticon invasion. We were sent here to help because, at the time, the attack took place on American soil."
"Decepticon invasion?" Optimus asked, mystified. "But the Decepticons have been defeated. Also, according to our records, there weren't any full-scale invasions of Autobot City while Rodimus was in charge."
Ultra Magnus suddenly realized what was going on and groaned. "He means the Decepticon invasion from two years ago, Prime," he explained.
Optimus raised and eye ridge. "You mean Megatron's invasion?" he asked.
The FEMA officer quickly checked his clipboard. "Yeah, that one," he confirmed, looking embarrassed. "Sorry we're a bit late."
Ultra Magnus just sighed. He should have known this would happen eventually.
(A/N: Okay, I hope that didn't sound too politically charged. Just wanted to have some fun with a semi-current scandal.)
