AU taking place during season 3. It was waay too short to be enjoyed to its full potential!

It all started out as any other day in Hanger E.

Arcee, Ultra Magnus, and Optimus Prime had all gone out on patrol. Ratchet was keeping himself busy, working on the Synth-En formula, locating any predacon bones, and ignoring the human children, and younger bots in the base.

The three kids were having a video game marathon. Their autobots counterparts cheering them on.

Then, alarms blared from Ratchet's console.

[Arcee to base!] Arcee's voice yelled from the main comm link, console.

"We hear you Arcee! Have you located another predacon fossil?" Ratchet asked.

[Yeah, but the 'Cons got here two seconds after! We need backup!] she replied.

"Understood!" Ratchet replied as he turned to the other 'Bots that had been listening in.

"Sorry, guys. Duty calls. Be right back!" Smokescreen said with a grin.

"No prob." Jack said.

"Yeah, don't worry about it! You guys go kick some 'Con tailpipe!" Miko exclaimed.

"Alright then. Doc, open up the groundbridge!" Wheeljack exclaimed.

Ratchet rolled his optics as he pulled the lever that activated the swirling green and blue groundbridge portal. Then Bumblebee, Smokescreen, Bulkhead, and Wheeljack ran into the groundbridge, heading towards battle.

The three human children watched as their Cybertronian friends left the base. Then Miko sighed.

"What's wrong, Miko?" Raf asked.

Miko looked at the younger boy, then turned around and abruptly pressed play on the previously paused game they had been playing.

"What? Miko!" Jack exclaimed as he scrambled to pick up his controller.

"That wasn't fair!" Raf screamed as he too hastily grabbed his own controller.

Miko just laughed. "Ya snooze ya lose, losers!"
