I finally finished patrolling the streets of the nearby city for any Decepticon activity, and once I didn't find any, I decided to go back to the Autobot base. I sighed and transformed into my regular mode which was a sleek, blood red mixed with black femme. I stretched and looked out into the distance which was dotted by the large rocky mountains out in the distance.

I sighed and turned into my other alt mode which was a shiny Seeker and started to fly back to the base. As I started getting closer to the base, I had to make sure that I changed back into my car mode, otherwise, the other Autobots would see the part of me that I could never let them see. It would be the end of me.

Literally.

I started driving down the rough, dirt path towards the rocky entrance but was quickly ambushed and held down by an unknown force. I tried shouting for help, but a sticky substance was put over my face plate. I turned my head to the side and there were ropes tying me and nailing me down to the ground.

I looked up and saw a weird looking human standing over my frame. He raised a taser-like object and struck it on me. The darkness overtakes me and my processor starts to shut down.

-.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.-

I forced my optics back online, but my vision was half as clear than it usually is. When my optics started to refocus, I finally took in the sight of a large type of lab and sat up slowly on the berth looking slab of metal. It looked like the same one that Ratchet has, but slightly smaller. I looked up and searched for any signs of life.

I finally took sight of that same weird looking human again, "Hello, my name is James. I'd love to know your name," he said as if he didn't do anything earlier.

I restrained my anger and decided to be polite but forceful, "Flame. Who are you, where am I, and what are you doing?"

"One shouldn't be so needy for answers," the man said. I growled and opened my mouth to speak, but he said quickly, "But I will provide them. As you already know, my name is James, you're at a MECH laboratory, and I'm just experimenting. You ever wanted to be human?"

"You're point?" I asked impatiently with an optical ridge lifted.

"How do I somehow manage to capture all the cranky ones?" he muttered to himself.

"I'm not cranky, now answer me," I demanded.

"Yes, yes," James said putting up his hands in mock surrender, "Silas ordered me to see if human to bot transformation is possible, and of course they don't want me to test it on a human because it's not "morally correct." I don't see their point, but I have to follow orders."

"So you decided to experiment on me?" I asked.

"Pretty much. Now, we don't want you awake during this procedure. It'll be quite painful and a lot of Energon will be spilled and blood will be given."

I scoffed, "Yeah, just what I wanted. 'Cause y'know. Life's not important. I wanted to die today anyway."

James burst out laughing, "Yes, I know. It's quite jarring, but, it's all in the name of science!" he shook his head, "You know, you're quite the company. Nobody really ever bothers talking to me. They say I'm crazy. What do you think?"

"You're fucking insane."

"Aww, and I was just beginning to think this was the start of a beautiful relationship," he said teasingly.

I shook my head and laid down on the metal slab, "Whatever doc, just work your magic," I gave in.

"With pleasure."

With that said, I lost my vision once more.

-.~~~~~~~~~~~~~.-

When I woke back up, I saw James crying, his hand on mine. I squeezed his hand to see if he was okay.

He looked up shocked, "H-how d-did you s-s-survive?"

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"Look at the heart monitor," he said and pointed.

I looked over and saw that it was beeping like it should, but rather it showed that there was one long line and a loud "BEEEEEP" coming from it. I believed that's what humans call a "flatline."

I looked back over to James and he said seriously, "I don't want you to tell anybody, okay? You don't know how many agents would swarm over us if you told. They'd be watching your every move."

"I promise I won't Jamie. Anyways, why were you so distraught? You barely even know me?" I asked.

"I-I really don't know. I just feel like we have a connection," he said as his face turned an interesting shade of red.

"Your face is turning colors, is that normal?"

James jumped up and covered his face, "Hush!"

I looked at him confusedly but just shrugged, "Well, anyways, did the experiment work?" I said as I stood up.

James looked back up at me and screeched like a girl and turned back around while covering his eyes, "YES! IT FUCKING WORKED, BUT LET ME GET YOU SOME CLOTHES, SO JUST LIKE, DON'T COME NEAR ME. OKAY?" he yelled.

I laughed internally as he left. When he finally came back in, he had in one arm, some underwear, and in the other, a black t-shirt that said in red letters, "It's Every Other Day Bro" with black skinny jeans.

He walked back out so I could change, and once I pulled on the underwear, I started at the shirt. I tried thinking of where I had seen that before, but couldn't put my finger on it. So, I stopped trying to figure it out, and just slipped it on and tugged up my pants. It was a perfect fit.

I went over to the mirror on the other side of the room and checked myself out. My curves fit nicely in the jeans, and my breasts were nice and perky.

When James walked back in, his jaw practically unhinged and dropped to the ground.

I started twirling and swishing my hips then asked James teasingly, "What do you think, Jamie?"

"You look stunning," he answered truthfully, "Now, let's see if you can transform back to your bot self. Think hard and focus on what you want to look like. Kind of like how you transform into your car mode."

I thought really hard about my original frame, and then all of a sudden I started transforming back to my bot self again.

After I transformed, a loud explosion appeared in front of us that knocked both me and Jamie out. But before my optics offlined, I saw Knockout walking towards me.

"Well, if it isn't the great warrior princess," Knockout said joyfully.

After that comment, a wave of darkness overcame me once more that day.

-.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.-

When I onlined my optics again, I looked around at my surroundings, realizing that I'm in familiar unfamiliar territory:

The Nemesis, the Decepticon warship.

"Glad to see your online again. Welcome to your new home."

I turned around to see who the voice belonged to and gasped when I saw who it was.
