Soundwave stared at the femme that Shockwave had pushed forward, toward him. The femme was mostly black with a single red stripe running down the length of her metal body. She looked up at Soundwave.

"What is your name?" Soundwave asked the femme.

"T-techsound sir." She stuttered. Soundwave looked at Shockwave, Shockwave in return shrugged and then walked off. The femme was staring at Soundwave with open curiosity now. Soundwave sighed, he loathed new recruites. They were nervous, annoying, and eager to please. Soundwave motioned for the femme to follow him. She complied, sticking to his left side like glue. Neither of them spoke as they walked to Soundwaves office, they entered and Soundwave looked at her. "I want to know everything about you, so I know what job to assign you Techsound." She looked at him and then spoke.

"My name is Techsound. My alt mode is a cybertronian speeder. My weapons are two blasters and my holo-projector. I-"

"That is all I need to know Techsound."

"Okay." She stared at the door, wondering when she could leave Soundwaves office. She hated having him look down at her, he thought she was just like every other recruit. She sighed and began to look around the room.

"Techsound."

"Yes Soundwave?"

"Here is your schedule, this is your room number and code." He handed her a data-pad, she smiled and thanked him before sprinting out the door.

Techsound entered her room and looked around. It had grey walls, a grey floor, one window that over-looked a training facility, a dark blue desk, and a silver re-charge berth. She quickly locked the door and the sighed. She was alone, happily by herself. She looked over her schedule and sighed, she had training practice with Starscream in 20 minutes. For the next 15 minutes Techsound spent the time re-charging, she knew she would get her aft kicked anyway but it was always nice to at least be as alert as possible. She ran to the training area and stood alone. Starscream frowned at her. "You're late."

"What?!" She checked her internal clock. "No i'm not! I'm right on time!"

"Well I prefer that recruites show up early." He told her, glaring.

"Well if you want me to show up early then make my class a few minutes earlier!"

"What is it with recruites thinking they can order veterans around." Starscream walked up to the femme, showing her that he was taller and bigger than herself. Techsound didn't back down, instead she straightened herself out trying to look taller.

"Well I wouldn't act like that if you weren't acting like such a freaking afthole!" She retorted.

"You will not talk to your superior like that!"

"I just did!"

"I will not refrain from punishing you just because you're new."

"Oh I'm SO scared! NOT!" Starscream slapped her, Techsound stumbled from the blow but then regained her balance. She glared at him while putting a hand on her metallic cheek. Starscream smirked, crossing his arms and giving her a yeah-I-just-did-that-and-im-not-afraid-to-do-it-again look.

"Now that we have realized who the real superior is we shall get to the training session."

"I can't wait." Techsound growled, clenching her fists.

"You must be ready for any attack, autobots are very un-predictable so you must be ready." Starscream smiled at her for a moment then lunged, Techsound sidestepped but wasn't ready for the rebound. Starscream crashed into her back knocking Techsound to the ground, he laughed as he got up. He placed a foot on her back and kept her down. "I win." He stated simply.

"Thank you Captain Obvious." She mumbled, he growled then took his foot off.

"My aren't you a cocky bot."

"Well I turn to act like that near smartafts." Techsound dodged Starscreams fist.

"Someone needs to beat manners into your thick processor."

"Someone needs to learn how to fight." Techsound laughed as Starscream scowled.

Techsound frowned. She was on the floor, Starscream was laughing hard and her head seriously hurt! He said that he gave, that she won. When she turned to walk off he jumped up and hit her in the head. Resulting in her going offline for a few minutes and him laughing at how pitiful she was to actually believe him. She got up slowly, checking to make sure she was okay. She was in top condition if you didn't count the dent in her cheek she had sustained when Starscream had hit her. She glared at Starscream and quickly walked out of the room. "What a aft hole!"

"You better not be talking about me like that Techsound." Soundwave looked at her.

"I-i-i'm not sir. I'm talking about Starscream sir."

"Well then, that's different. I never had patience for that egotistical bot either." With that said Soundwave resumed walking to Megatrons office, probably to report something he had heard while spying. Techsound blinked shocked, she was expecting him to lecture her or something related to that. She smiled, maybe Soundwave wasn't as bad as she thought he was.

Soundwave entered Megatrons office and then set a data-pad on his desk. Megatron gave him a questioning look. "What is it Soundwave?" He demanded.

"I have news that the autobots are getting ready to go looking for energon. They are preparing a shuttle for launch Lord Megatron."

"Excellent. Gather the other decepticons and get my shuttle ready. We shall follow them. Once we reach the planet we shall kill them and steal all the energy!" Megatron smiled evilly.

"As you command." Soundwave walked out of the room and got all the decepticons he could, including Techsound. The decepticons began to follow the autobots, until they hit an asteroid field. The autobots used their laser to clear the rocks so the decepticons got right behind them. Realizing they had been spotted they attacked early. The result was that they ended up crashing onto an unknown planet. The bots fell into stasis lock.

~4 million years later~

Teletran mistakenly repaired bots of both sides. Quickly the decepticons fled. Megatron growled, mad that the autobots had lived. "Those autobot fools will pay!!" He yelled. All of the decepticons quickly left the area, bent on getting away from Megatron's wrath. They were going to steer clear of him until he had calmed down enough not to blast them. meanwhile Soundwave was searching his data banks trying to find out what planet they were on. After 20 minutes of searching he found the most likely planet yet. Earth.

"You think we are on Earth?" Techsound asked him confused. "How do you know?"

"Because the coordinates say we are." Soundwave replied.

"Well what if the coordinates are wrong?! We can't be that far away from Cybertron!" She threw her hands into the air for emphasince.

"Well we are Techsound. Nothing can change that fact, so stop acting like a spoiled sparkling." He commanded, authority in his voice. Techsound just stomped her foot, turned on her heel and walked off. Soundwave shook his head and sighed. 'What is wrong with femmes these days?' He wondered, 'They always are so sure of themselves even when they're wrong.'

Techsound knew she had acted immature but she was not about to apologize to Soundwave for acting disrespectful to her superior. "Oh I can't believe we are on Earth! No bot has been here since before the war! This planet is so outdated!" Techsound turned around when she heard a noise. It was a car. 'It has to be an autobot!' She thought crouching behind a huge rock. But it wasn't, the car stopped and two pink things got out of it. The car did nothing, it just sat there as the two pink things walked off toward a building that was being constructed. Techsound pulled out her blaster and got near the car. Pointing her blaster at the car she hissed, "Why don't you transform and defend yourself autobot?" The car sat there motionless. She growled in frustration and kicked the car sending it flying a few feet. She walked back to where the decepticons had last been at. There they were, already constructing a base. Megatron was barking orders and Soundwave made sure they were being followed. "Glad to see I was missed." She mumbled sarcastically as she passed Thundercracker.

"Shut up and help us." He told her.

"Did someone forget to re-charge?" She glared at him.

"Techsound, stop instigating and get to work." Soundwave commanded.

"So......what do you want me to do?"

"Spy on the autobots."

"Me? Alone? Why can't I help construct the base?"

"Because femmes aren't meant for the real work." Thundercracker smirked.

"Why you little-"

"Techsound! Get to work. Thundercracker, shut up and get back to lifting." Soundwave cut in. Techsound glared at Thundercracker for another second before walking off toward where the autobots ship had crashed. She lay down on the top of a cliff that overlooked the ship, which had crashed into the side of a volcano. She watched as the autobots checked to make sure everyone else was okay, especially Optimus Prime their leader. Once everyone was accounted for they began to explore the planet, Prowl told them the same as what Soundwave had told Techsound, they were on Earth. Techsound shifted and caused a small avalanche to happen, the autobots looked up and spotted her, "Oh this is so not good!" Techsound jumped up and transformed, she sped in the opposite direction of the decepticon base, in training they were taught to lead the enemy away from their hideout so that the decepticons wouldn't have to move as much. Techsound hurridly alerted any decepticon she could reach, the only one was Thundercracker.

"Aw our little Techsound can't handle a few autobots." Thundercracker mocked.

"A few!? You think it's only a FEW! They sent like five of them after me! I'm not a warrior! You yourself said that! And to top that I'm a femme against five mechs!"

"Okay okay. Calm down, I'll send the others to rescue you."

"Oh Thundercracker, you do not want to know what I am doing to you in my mind."

"Oh shut up, the feelings mutual."

Techsound kept speeding down the barren stretch of land. She chanced a glance backward and immediatly sped up as fast as she could go. The autobots were gaining on her fast! The twins were right behind her, only mere feet. "Slag it Thundercracker! You better have told the others I needed help!" She growled. As if she had called them, Skywarp, Starscream, and Thundercracker came from the horizon.

"So it seems you weren't kidding." Thundercracker told her through the comm link. The decepticons began to fire at the autobots, the autobots transformed and then began to fire at the seekers. Techsound transformed and fired at the autobots who had been momentarily distracted by the other decepticons appearence. The twins returned their attention to Techsound. They overwhelmed her and grabbed her.

"Stop shooting or the femme gets it!" Sunstreaker yelled up toward the seekers. Techsound was struggling to get free but there was no luck. She looked up to see the other decepticons holding up their hands up in surrender. "No you idi-" Sunstreaker held his hand over her mouth.

"Good. Now go tell your leader that we have her. We want you to give us all of your energon in exchange for her." Sunstreaker told them smiling. Sideswipe put a pair of stasis cuffs on Techsound and they took her with them towards the autobot base.

Techsound was set in a room with a lot of spare parts. She was in the dark, alone. There was only her internal clock to tell her that time was passing. After two hours Ironhide and Hound came in. They grabbed her and lifted her to her feet. Then they walked her to the front of the base. The other autobots were there, waiting. They glared at her, loathing her exsitence. The only reason she was still alive was because she could get them something they needed desperatly. She kept her head down, looking at her feet as she was put into a transformed Rachet. She felt them take off, driving to who knows where. The next thing Techsound knew the back doors to Rachets vehicle mode opened and she tumbled out. "Ow." She mumbled as she got up.

"Come on decepticreep." Sunstreaker growled. He grabbed her elbow and dragged her along. "Gosh you're heavy." He muttered.

"I am not! You are just plain weak!" Techsound shrieked. Sunstreaker stopped suddenly.

"Nobody calls me weak."

"I just did."

"You are so going to get it. Mark my words. Next time I see you on the battle field you're gonna be a dead femme."

"Yeah right. Like you could do anything." She grinned. "What? Did I hurt your little feelings Sunny?"

"DON'T CALL ME SUNNY!!!" He growled.

"Or what?"

"If Optimus or the others weren't here I would have killed you by now."

"So you say." Techsound smiled.

They stopped once they saw the decepticons. 50 feet away stood Soundwave, Starscream, and Thundercracker. Ten energon cubes stood there beside them. The exchange was simple, Techsound would be accompanied by Sunstreaker to get the cubes, when he got the cubes she would walk with him to the halway point, then she was free to go. The exchange went smoothly as they reached the halfway point he reminded her, "Next time I see you, you're fair game."

"Ditto." Techsound grinned as she walked toward the decepticons. She stopped inchesw away from her team mates. "What?"

"What were you thinking Techsound?! Getting that close could have been a fatal mistake!!" Soundwave shouted.

"Excuse me! I don't have the proper spying gear!"

"You don't?"
"No! Or I wouldn't have gotten that close! You big blue idiot!"

"Heh. Big blue idiot." Skywarp smiled.

"You. Shut up." She pointed at Skywarp. "Thanks for the backup Thundercracker! What did you wait ten minutes before telling the others?"

"No. I couldn't track you."

"Oh my Primus. You could have tracked my spark energy." She pointed out.

"Why wasn't I alerted about this?" Soundwave asked turning to Thundercracker.

"I thought she was lying and I didn't want to get in trouble for interupting you." Thundercracker looked down at his feet. Soundwave put a hand over his face and sighed deeply.
