The Curse of the Chibi Autobots!
by Yami-Yugi

Chapter 1

It was a beautiful day and in Autobot headquarters, and deep in his lab; Wheeljack was working on his latest experiment. Wheeljack was so deeply involved with his work he didn't hear the commander of the Autobots come in. "Wheeljack what in Primus are you doing in here all day?"

"WHAT IN PRIMUS?" Wheeljack shouted in surprised, dropping what he was holding onto the ground and it exploded. Pink clouds of smoke started to fill the base. But as the smoke cleared, all the Autobots were...smaller...like toddlers!

At that same time Prowl and Bumblebee, who was out scoping Decepticon activity with Spike and Sparkplug, drove into the base. But once there they heard tiny voices coming from inside the base. "What in Primus?" Prowl asked as they finally got in the base and Prowl transforms back into his normal bot form. Bumblebee had let Sparkplug and Spike out before transforming as well. They all saw the baby Autobots crawling around the base. "What in Primus is going on here?" Prowl shouted "Ratchet? Wheeljack?"

Then a little Optimus crawled over holding a small blanket. "Dada?" he cooed.

Everyone looked down at him. "O-Optimus...sir?" Bumblebee said a bit confused. Prowl looked like he was going to go off line in a human way of faint any moment. The once leader started sucking his thumb as baby Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were fighting over a toy bear.

"Mine Sunnie!"

"No mine, Siddie!"

"What happen here?" asked Spike "When did the Autobots got small and baby like?"

"Sup, dude?" a baby Jazz cooed trying to dance.

Prowl was determined to find the Autobots' mad scientist. "Bumblebee, Spike, Sparkplug..." he started "Keep an eye one things; I'm going to see if I can find Wheeljack. He might know what's going on around here." With that Prowl gently stepped over the small baby Autobots trying not to hurt them while he tried to make his way to Wheeljack's workshop.

Prowl finally made it to Wheeljack's workshop. He started pounding on the door. "Wheeljack! What in Primus did you do to Prime and the others?" But no reply came from the other side. "Wheeljack, you better open this door so Primus help me I'll bust it down!" Still no answer came. "Okay you gave me no choice Wheeljack! After this is all over you are spending some time in the brig!" With that said Prowl kicked the door in. Once inside he found little Wheeljack asleep on his desk. Prowl's optics widen in shock. "PRIMUS!" he shouted and started to bang his head against a near by wall. Now waking up, the little Wheeljack rubbed his tired optics. Prowl was too busy banging his head to notice.

"Papa?"

"...P-Pri...mus...!" Prowl said still banging his head on the wall. Wheeljack crawled over the desk towards him. Prowl finally stop banging his head to notice how dangerous the small Wheeljack was before the dangerous fall off the tall desk. "Primus! Wheeljack!" he shouted and race over and scoops the small bot off the desk into his arms. Then the little bot began to whimper. Prowl looked a bit confused as he held little Wheeljack in his arms, in the same position he had grabbed the bot. Then the little bot began to cry. "Primus Wheeljack..." Prowl started "What's going on with you and the others? Did you do this?"

"Me...make booboo?"

Prowl sighed. "Primus Wheeljack, you always make...I mean you sometimes mess up."

"Ohh..."

Prowl sighed again. "Now what are me and Bumblebee going to do with a base full of little sparklings?" Then little Optimus crawled in the room wandering what was going on. Prowl notice him. "Prime? What are you doing in here?" he asked. The little leader tried to stand on his own but fall onto his back and began to whimper. "O-Optimus sir!" Prowl said worriedly as he gently set Wheeljack on the ground and came over to the little bot of his leader was. The young bot still whimpered and shied away from Prowl. "Prime sir?" Prowl said, confused on what was going on. The bot then tried standing up again and waddled outside the room. Prowl smiled a bit. Even as a sparkling, Prime is trying to be brave. Just as Prowl started out of the room something bit and hold onto his leg. He looked down seeing a little Grimlock latching onto his leg like a dog. Primus! Not the Dinobots too! Prowl tried to shake the little bot off. "No Grimlock! Get off! My leg is NOT a chew toy!"

"You toy! Me play!"

"Grimlock...Off!" Prowl shouted as he still tries to get the small Dinobot off his leg. He wasn't watching were he was going and nearly tripped on a young Autobot he didn't know that as there.

"Owie." Sadly Prowl already lost his footing and fell on his back. Thankfully he didn't hurt any one. Little Grimlock was still chewing on Prowl's leg, only growling playfully. The young Autobot that Prowl nearly tripped over started to cry.

"You hurt Oppie!" Grimlock cried.

At that moment Bumblebee, who heard Prowl shouting race into the room. "What happened?" he asked when he saw that was going on. He notices his now young leader crying his optics out.

"Oppie hurt! Papa hit him!" Grimlock cried.

"Papa?" Bumblebee asked confused. Prowl sighed.

"Bumblebee..." Prowl started "Try and cheer up our leader... And Grimlock...Get OFF my leg. My leg is not a toy." Grimlock let go of Prowl's leg. Prowl was happy Grimlock wasn't any bigger. He knew in his normal size Grimlock could badly damage him. Bumblebee slowly came over to the crying Optimus, as he did the little one turned away.

"Huh?"

"Optimus don't want you to see him cry, Bee." said Prowl as he slowly stood up.

The young bot wiped away his tears and turned back to Bumblebee. "Bee...?"

"Ahhh yea." Bumblebee said with a smile "I guess you probably won't be able to say Bumblebee any away." The little bot just giggled. Bumblebee smiled a bit. "What's so funny sir?" he asked.

"Primus! Sunstreaker! Sideswipe! Put Ratchet's welding torch down!" Prowl commanded to the small twins, who had found said torch "It's not a toy for Primus shakes!"

"Mine, Sunnie!" Sideswipe cried.

"Mine!" Sunstreaker cried back. Bumblebee started to make funny faces at the baby version his leader as Prowl race over to get said torch from the twins. Oppie just continued to laugh as the brothers started to cry since their toy was taken away.

"It's not a toy you two." Prowl said with a serious look at them "You could have gotten hurt."

"That mine!" Sunstreaker cried.

"No..." Prowl said "A welding torch is not a toy." The boys only cried more. Bumblebee and little Optimus looked over to where the twins were crying.

"Bad Sunnie!" Oppie cried. The twins stopped crying and looked over at Optimus. Oppie only shied away form the boys just like a little boy or girl would do.

"Now what, Prowl?" ask Bumblebee.

"I don't know..." said Prowl with a sigh as he came over and gently picks Optimus into his arms "Who knows how long this will last."

"Sup, dudes!" a little voice called.

"Jazzy!" Oppie called.

"You know what Prowl." started Bumblebee "Even though it might be temporarily, they are kind of cute."
