I have come up with a different story. This fanfic is mostly about some bots that didn't appear in the movie arriving to Earth and meeting the humans at NEST. Enjoy!
Vorn=80 years
"Sir, our ship is running out of energy and we still haven't found Optimus or his crew." Red Alert said.
"Sir, engine one has been turned into ashes and engine two will soon ignite as well." Inferno said.
"Sir, my paint job is a mess and I have a dent on my armor!" Sunstreaker said.
Prowl was Second in Command in leading the autobots and he was now leading a ship through space looking for Optimus and his crew. So far no success and the ship was turning into a wreck, but he didn't complain. Complaining was illogical. Complaining will never get them to their destination and it will also not fix their ship, so there was no logic in complaining.
"Go repaint your color then." Prowl said with a neutral tone.
"I can't! I finished my last dose of paint a vorn ago! And I can't paint over a dent anyways!" Sunstreaker said.
Prowl sighed mentally, still keeping a neutral expression.
"Sir, we have a pinpoint location of energon signals." Red Alert said.
"Where is it located?" Prowl asked.
"In a planet called Earth. Permission to proceed?" Red Alert asked.
"Permission granted. Use remaining power to get there." Prowl answered. Inferno nodded and pressed the button that would use whatever power the ship had left to get to Earth.
"Sir! The ship isn't going to last in the atmosphere! It will burn both the ship and us into melted metal!" Inferno said as they got closer to Earth.
"Then it looks like we will take the emergency pods there." Prowl said getting up. The crew nodded and each bot entered a pod. Prowl entered a pod that was made specifically for Praxians, due to their wings. The pods evacuated the ship just in time, before the ship exploded due to so much heat and damage it went through before they got here. The four pods entered Earth, but were separated into different location. One pod landed near a car paint shop, one at a hospital, one at a fire station, and the last one near a police department.
The one at the car paint shop opened. The bot exited the pod and scanned a Lamborghini nearby and changed the color to yellow. "Aww yeah! This is what I'm talking about!" Sunstreaker said as he revved up his engine.
The pod that landed near the hospital opened. Red Alert exited the pod and scanned an emergency vehicle, transformed, turned on the sirens, and started to look for Prowl.
The pod that landed near the fire station opened. Inferno came out and looked for a vehicle to scan. He eventually found a fire truck and scanned it. He saw some flames near the pod and he right away extinguished them. He then transformed and looked for the SiC.
The pod that landed neat the police department opened, and out came Prowl. He scanned a police car that was nearby. He was about to transform, but was stopped when he heard engines and sirens. He looked towards the location of the noise and saw three vehicles approaching. The vehicles transformed and revealed Sunstreaker, Inferno, and Red Alert.
"What are our orders now sir?" Red Alert asked.
"We are to look for either Optimus or anyone from his crew. We will start by looking for energon signals." Prowl said, looking through a data pad. "According to these readings, it says that there are signals in an island called "Diego Garcia"." He said looking through the details. "Hmm."
"Is something wrong?" Inferno asked.
"It appears that information on this place is guarded by the government here." Prowl said.
"Oh puh-leaz. I can hack that thing with my optics closed." Sunstreaker said as he grabbed the data pad and started to hack it.
"You are actually participating in looking for Optimus?" Inferno asked surprised.
"Eh not really. Don't get me wrong, I respect the boss bot, but I'm actually worried about Sideswipe." Sunstreaker said as he handed back the data pad.
"I got the location. We are to follow them, but we must respect the humans' rules in driving. Oh and Sunstreaker, you are to be sentenced in the brig for hacking government files. Even though it was for a good cause." Prowl said.
"Aww come on!" Sunstreaker complained.
"Hahaha. We haven't even been here for an hour and you already got yourself in the brig." Inferno said, laughing.
Sunstreaker frowned then they all transformed and headed towards their destination. After hours of driving, the bots finally reached a military airport that lead to their destination. Prowl activated a holoform and exited the car.
"How can I help you sir?" a man in military uniform asked.
"Yes, my comrades and I would like a ride to Diego Garcia." Prowl said, fixing his sunglasses.
"I'm sorry sir, but that place is classified." The military guy said.
"Oh right. Especially with all those bots roaming around. It's defiantly not safe for any regular person to go there." Prowl said.
The man was left speechless, but recovered. "Very well. I guess you guys were sent by the government or something. The name's William Lennox. I am the captain of the U.S. military." He said formally.
"My name is Prowl. I am a Law Enforcer and collector of reports on any events." Prowl said.
After getting in the plane, Lennox got tired and fell asleep on the bench.
"Sir, I believe we should recharge as well. Do we deactivate our holoforms?" Inferno asked.
"No. We cannot risk having the human know about us. We must first make sure he has Optimus' trust." Prowl answered back.
"Sleeping in our holoforms? What a drag!" Sunstreaker complained.
"Maybe, but it is for the good." Red Alert said.
"Last time I did something for the good, it got me sentenced to the brig…" Sunstreaker muttered to himself. All the holoforms entered their vehicles and went into recharge.
Hope it was good enough and I hope you guys will review some ideas for me and I might consider them.
