Knockout pulled along side Optimus Prime. He whistled at the rims on the truck mech. Optimus froze. He didn't remember this Decepticon, maybe he was an Autobot? But that can't be, if he was, he would have reported. He kept up the mental battle until it hit him, the mech..was..flirting with..him?

Knockout: nice rims…real heavy duty..just like my buddy here!

Optimus Prime didn't see any "buddy" but he sure as hell felt the blast from the rear. Knockout shifted to Robot-Mode and pulled out a electic spear. Optimus did a double take, Knockout was small for a Decepticon and he was a car. Both things didn't fit with the Decepticon image. His eyes shifted to the blue jeep. He didn't catch a name, nor did he get the name of the red car. He just knew this was not going to go well.

Knockout: oi! Big guy, just stay still, your too old to keep up with me!
Breakdown:Red, move it…he's heavy..and fat
Knockout(tugging on the line): tsk tsk…you're a big duty mac truck…shame I'll have to dirty up those rims!

He turned his spear on and Optimus stared in horror as the mech moved like a blurr and shoved the spear into his neck. The pain was more than he had ever felt before. He had to get him off. He knew a mech that small, would be so light that he could be shoved around like a doll. He had Bulkhead knock him into the glass. It should have been that easy but when Knockout didn't get back up right away, Breakdown was enraged.

Breakdown: Knockout!
Bulkhead: you..mean..the..knockout..the doctor?
Breakdown: hello old friend, but you better move before I rip you apart!
Bulkhead: you and the red car,huh? He doesn't seem your type

Breakdown growled and shifted his hand into a hammer and went after Bulkhead. Optimus Prime looked back at the car mech as he slowly woke back up. A gay Decepticon? That was extremely unheard of. Why was Breakdown risking Knockout at the hands of Megatron if he loved him?

Miko: that car…is..hot! He is a race car..and..he is mega sweet!
Jack: miko, he is the bad guy!
Miko: dude, he is sweet..I bet he goes up to 100 mph in his sleep…I'm in love!
Jack: miko…

Knockout looked at the human kids. Tools? Yes. Fan girl? Sweet. He went to make his move. Optimus prime knocked him into the tree. Knockout got to his knees before he spat out Energon. Breakdown roared in his anger. Knockout tried a new tatic. He looked at Optimus Prime, his eyes low and frail looking. Optimus Prime stared, he couldn't harm someone who was helpless. He walked over to the car mech. Knockout grinned and shoved his spear into Optimus's Chest.

Knockout: oi! Breakdown!
Breakdown: yeah? Oh..hey..Screamer is here!
Knockout: wait for it…wait for it…drive!

Both shifted to cars and sped off in a rush. Optimus stared at the hole in his chest. He couldn't get that face out of his mind. He had cheated and even played dirty, but Optimus had wanted to stoke his cheek and tell him it was okay.

Ratchet: how could you let him get you!
Optimus Prime: he played me..knowing my code of honor
Ratchet: Knockout is never that cute! How could you fall for him!
Optimus Prime: the face he made…he truly looked scared..and needy…like he was looking at death and knew I would craddle him from it..
Ratchet: you better not be in love with him…
Optimus Prime: I see..,Ratchet.
