Introductions Part 1

Rated: K+

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen titans or Transformers, duh.

This is basically how the Autobots came to Earth. This story is not based on any continuity. If you are asking, Rodimus, Bumblebbe, and Longarm all look like their Animated design. Bulkhead looks like Prime design.

"LOOK OUT!" said Kup. He was in the middle of training some soldiers for the Autobot army. Things weren't looking so great though. His students were far behind the other trainees, and it was only a matter of time before Optimus would ask for another group of well-trained Bots to help fight. To make things worse, all his students were in a simulation. And completely failing.

"Hot Rod, pay attention! For Primus' sake, you could get killed if you don't!"

"Skram! Don't just stand there and look like a cyberfox in headlights, throw the grenade already!"

"Quickslinger, don't wait to reload! Just get another gun nearby you and use it!"

"Blaster! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! Send Steeljaw or Ramhorn in to support your teammates!

"You guys need to work on your teamwork. When you are in that battlefield, there will be lots of Autobots that you will need to work with cooperatively." Kup said.

"I'm trying to, if Skram would just throw his grenades where the Cons are, not where our fellow soldiers are!" Quickslinger said. Skram glared at her before trying to defend himself.

"Well, I would know where to throw them if Blaster would stop playing his "victory music" whenever we're in battle." Skram looks at Blaster, who only gives a small shrug.

"It doesn't matter what you guys are doing, as long as you're helping each other out!" Kup was about to leave the room when Skram tripped and dropped a grenade. The pin was loose and easily came off upon impact. Kup turned around to see the grenade on the floor.

"Grenade!" Kup yelled. All his trainees ran out of the room. "So this is how I die" he thought. "I'm gonna get blown up by one of my own students and they aren't gonna help me."

Just then, one of the students, Hot Rod, jumped and got the grenade. He then threw it to the other side of the room where it blew a massive hole in the wall.

"Are you okay?" Hot Rod asked. Kup looked at him as though something changed. He remembered his punk attitude. And he remembered telling Hot Rod he was "All smoke and no flame."

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why did you do that?"

"To save you I guess. Did I do great?" Hot Rod asked. He had a hopeful look, one that screams "Please don't say I did well".

"Yeah kid, you did great. Better than you fellow teammates." This statement made Hot Rod smile. As Kup was about to leave the room, Hot Rod stopped him.

"Hey, you think I'll do something great one day?"

"Whadda you mean kid?" Kup asked, interested in what he wanted to talk about.

"I mean do you think I'll do something great one day. You know, like storming Megatron's base or taking down Soundwave or-"

"I think you'll do just fine. Just try hard enough and maybe Optimus could assign you to a unique mission. You seem like someone who would do something great. I just have a feeling you will. But you gotta finish your training first."

"Yeah, okay."

A few thousand years later…

"Bulkhead, I need you to take out those heavy troops to the left. Windblade and I will take the ones on the right. Bumblebee, protect Nautica while she disarms the bomb."

"Okay, got it." Bulkhead replied.

Rodimus' team was taking down a small Decepticon bomb squad. Everything was going well. Nautica just needs to disarm the bomb and they win.

"Um, uh oh." Nautica said.

"Uh oh? What did you do now? Are we all gonna be blown to oblivion? Do we have a small amount of time to escape?" Bumblebee said. He did not like the idea of becoming a death in the war that has torn their planet apart.

"I didn't mess up! It's just that this bomb is more complex than I thought."

"Just make sure not to kill us all." Rodimus shouted from afar.

"I'll try…"

Nautica desperately cut wires. She had to be careful though. One mistake could destroy everyone nearby. That includes her whole team and the Autobots fighting in the nearby area. She had two wires left. One could deactivate the bomb. The other would instantly kill everybody.

"Red, or purple…"

"Just pick one!" Bumblebee yelled. He was currently being punched by a large Leaper. Bulkhead's flail then landed right on the Leaper's back. The Leaper let go of Bumblebee, feeling the immense pain on it's back. Before they know it, the Leaper explodes violently.

"Don't rush her! Take your time Nautica!" Windblade said reassuringly.

"Um, You do realize the bomb is timed, right Windblade?" Rodimus asked.

"Yes I know. I was just trying to be nice."

"Okay. hopefully she picks the right one."

Nautica looked back and forth. Red or purple. Why was it so hard to choose? She decided to just trust her gut. What could go wrong?

Nautica snipped the purple wire. The bomb immediately deactivates. Nautica released a sigh of relief. She just saved them.

"Great job!" Rodimus said, with a cheerful look.

"Yeah. I was scared for a moment, thinking you would blow us to bits." Bumblebee said.

"WELL DONE!" Windblade shouted hugging Nautica.

"Thanks guys."

The group returned back to Iacon, where they were told they were being assigned their new mission.

"I hope this mission is a fun one!" Windblade says, still happy about the last one they were in.

"It's probably another supply run or bomb disarming. Just the usual." Rodimus said. It's been a few thousand years since he was just a trainee. A few thousand years since Kup told him he could do something great…

At the Decagon, Rodimus' team was there awaiting orders. Optimus Prime, Kup, and Ultra Magnus walked into the room.

"Rodimus, I see you came back i one piece." Optimus said. His voice was known to silence a room.

"Yes we did. We also disarmed the bomb and Ironhide's troops are safe from any other bombs in the area." Rodimus responded.

"Good. I know, you are probably expecting another small mission. But your next mission will be big." Optimus said.

"Wait, so is it big as in it's gonna help another army or big as in it might help us win?" Bumblebee asked.

"This mission is very important. And to answer your question, Bumblebee, yes, it can help us win this war." Everyone's eyes went big, especially Rodimus. This was the moment he had been waiting for.

"As you may have heard, Cybertron is dying. It has lost the ability to support life, and therefore create any energon." Optimus said with a stern look. Everyone knew a low Energon supply was bad. They needed Energon to fuel their weapons. To fuel them.

"In this mission, you will travel the galaxy and look for something else we can use as a fuel source. Megatron already started to take over planets and civilizations, but from the information we have, he hasn't succeeded in finding a valuable fuel source."

"But to travel the whole entire galaxy like that, you would need a really good ship. One with Quantum engines, a good weapons system," Nautica trailed off.

"Yes. That's why you will take this ship." Optimus said. He nodded to Ultra Magnus, who pulled up a screen.

"This is the Lynx. It has Quantum engines, a great weapons system, and modern Cybertronian controls." Ultra Magnus said. He looked at Nautica, who was acting like this was the best thing she had seen.

"Wow, and we get to actually use this?" Rodimus said. He couldn't wait. Finally, the moment he had been waiting for!

"Yes kiddo, but be careful. Ever since Megatron's conquest of some planets, Cybertronians haven't been so popular with other civilizations. Best to keep a low profile." Kup said. Just then, Perceptor walked in.

"These are holomatter will allow you to project a holomatter disguise from far away. That way, you can keep a low profile and just stay in your ship. The holomatter disguise does take a minute to solidify, so don't let anyone touch you. Also, you can't feel pain while in holomatter, so pay attention. If you have to, pretend you are hurt." Perceptor said.

"You understand your mission right?" Optimus said, looking at the team. "They will do well" he thought to himself.

"Yes, we do" everyone said in unison.

"Then get ready. You leave first thing tomorrow."

"Got it Prime. We won't let you down!" Rodimus said with a big smile on his face. The team leaves, and Optimus, Kup, Ultra magnus and Perceptor look at each other.

"Do you think they will do well? Ultra Magnus asked.

"C'mon, I trained the kid. I've seen his team fight. They can handle it." Kup said reassuringly.

"Let's go and get their things ready. Megatron won't know what we are up to." Optimus said. Little did they know, Laserbeak had been watching and recording the whole thing…

Kaon. The Decepticon City. The first city taken over by Megatron. Laserbeak was flying over to the Darkmount, Megatron's impenetrable fortress. Laserbeak had important info that the Decepticon leader needed to hear.

"Laserbeak has returned." said Soundwave in his monotonous voice.

"Laserbeak! Play your recordings!" Megatron ordered.

"This mission is very important. And to answer your question, Bumblebee, yes, it can help us win this war." As the recording played, Megatron listened to every last bit.

"Let's go and get their things ready. Megatron won't know what we are up to." the recording said before it ended.

"Oh Optimus, if only you knew…" Megatron said slyly, with a smile on his face.

"Please, I don't know what their plan is! I don't know where Ironhide is attacking next! Just let me go, I won't tell anyone what I saw!" the Autobot plead.

"That's what they all say. Then, when they leave, they tell all their superiors what they saw and how they can defeat us. But you know what? Your just some useless soldier. No information for me to use." Tarn said, his voice getting lower by the second. His "killer voice" as some might call it was something many feared. Not to mention the fact that he has extraordinary combat skills.

"Please I'm ack-" the Autobot tried to fight back, but it was useless.

"Aw, don't be scared. Y'know, torturing prisoners is a process. You have to make them feel safe. Then, when they feel like everything will be okay and that Primus is on their side, you bring them into a world of pain and suffering. If they don't tell you the information, you threaten their lives or just dispose of them. How unfortunate…" Tarn said, the last sentence being a quiet whisper. The Autobot soldier could feel his spark giving up.

"Now, what do you have to say?" Tarn's voice got even quieter. The Autobot's spark gave up and his head exploded violently, sending little bits and pieces all over the interrogation room.

"If your done with that, Megatron wants you in the briefing room. Now." Starscream said amusingly.

"Very well."

"Lord Megatron, what is it that you request?" Tarn said.

"I want you to find a valuable fuel source. Our energon supplies are depleting every second and we are running out of it."

"Yes, I can tell. But where do I look?"

"In this solar system. It has several planets. One has inhabited life on it. The others are barren wastelands. The Autobots are already searching." Megatron said, pulling up a screen.

"This is their ship. Find it, and destroy it and everyone on board. Understood?"

"Yes Lord Megatron. But why are you not coming"

"I am needed here. If Optimus is staying, I need to as well. That way, the Autobots don't have an advantage over us."

"Who do I bring?" Tarn asks. Megatron then gave him a list of Decepticons to bring with him.

"This are the Decepticons assigned to go along with you."

"You want me to bring Starscream? He would try to stage a mutiny once we take off!"

"Yes, but I trust You will keep him in line. Oh, and don't fail me." Megatron said.

"As you wish Lord Megatron."

"Alright, are we good to go?" Rodimus said cheerfully. "This was it" he thought.

"Yep. The engines are in great condition, the weapons and shields are all fully powered, and we are ready to take off!" Nautica said.

"Think about it Bulkhead! We are about to embark on a awesome adventure!" Bumblebee said.

"I know, you already told me" Bulkhead replied, rolling his eyes. The whole team was excited about the mission. If they succeeded, they would be famous as the Autobots that helped win the war. They would be heroes.

"Hey, are we lifting off right now?" Carnifex said. He had missed the briefing, being stuck in a medibay. Nearby, Longarm was helping load some crates inside the Lynx.

"Yes, we should be." Windblade said with excitement.

"Alright, well, we are ready for takeoff Optimus! Don't worry, I won't fail you!" Rodimus shouted.

"May Primus be with you. Goodbye Rodimus." Optimus replied, waving at the departing Autobots.

Meanwhile, at the Darkmount, Tarn was preparing to leave in the Nemesis with his crew.

"Alright, roll call. Just say if you are here or not."

"Starscream."

"Here"

"Soundwave."

"Present"

"Astrotrain."

"Here"

"Blitzwing."

"Here."

"Octane."

"Hm? Oh, here."

"Are all the Constructicons here as well?"

"Yes, all Constructicons are present." replied Scrapper.

"Is the whole Reflector team here as well?"

"Affirmative. We just got here because of somebody…" Viewfinder said, looking at Spyglass.

"Hey, I wanted to stop for Energon goodies, is that so bad?" Spyglass said trying to defend himself. Spyglass was dumb, though, so no one took him seriously.

"It appears we are all accounted for. Everyone on board and prepare to launch. We can't let the Autobots get a headstart." Tarn ordered. Everyone entered the Nemesis, making sure everything was functioning properly. And with that, they took off.

"Finally. We are in space. I still can't believe this is happening." Rodimus said, leaning back on his chair.

"Yes, this is all new to us, but I'm sure we can manage." Longarm said. Everyone was doing their own thing. Windblade was looking out a window. Nautica was checking every control on the ship. Carnifex was piloting the ship. And Bumblebee and Bulkhead were fooling around in the back.

"Wanna see who can make those crates fall the fastest?" Bumblebee said.

"Um, sure. But let's not destroy anything, ok?" Bulkhead said. The two then started shooting the stacked up empty crates making them fall. When the last crate fell, the whole ship rocked.

"I swear, that wasn't me…" Bulkhead said.

"There's another ship behind us. It's gunning us down!" Carnifex said as he read the scanners.

"Decepticons…" Rodimus said under his breath. "No, no, no, this can't be happening! How did they find out?" Rodimus said in his head.

A holographic image popped up. It was Tarn sending a transmission.

"Greetings Autobots! I'm feeling a little kind today and I'm giving you one option: turn your ship around, or be prepared to be boarded. Once we board, there will be no survivors." The transmission ended, and all the Autobots looked at each other, fear in all of their eyes.

"What do we do? We can't fight them! That's Tarn, a powerful Decepticon commander. Not to mention that their ship is bigger than ours! We're toast!" Longarm said. It was pretty obvious he wanted to surrender.

"As much as I want to, we can't surrender. The Autobots depend on this mission. Carnifex, Bulkhead, since you two are our heavy hitters go for the large guys. Everyone else pick a target you see." Rodimus said. He looked confident on the outside, but on the inside he was worried. This could go bad in so many ways.

"We refuse to surrender Tarn. We won't turn this ship around and there is nothing you can do to make us!"

"Very well. Prepare to be boarded and killed. And just to be clear, I'm going to give you the most pain you will ever experience." Tarn said. The Nemesis got closer to the Lynx. A small tube was sent down and attached itself to the ship. The group can hear the Decepticons coming in. All they can do is wait, and fight for their lives...

So, how was it? Btw, Carnifex is Overlord."Carnifex" is name given to his third party toy from Mastermind Creations. Also, if you watched Animated, it's pretty obvious who Longarm is. The Teen Titans will be introduced in the next part, trust me. Please review!
