Okay here we go, Enjoy and Review.

Lazerbeak watched from his hiding spot in the factory in Chernobyl, waiting for the targets to approach the area. He growled quietly in anticipation, making sure not to alert any of the fleshlings to his presence, when he spotted a red a blue truck approaching the plaza with the human soldiers.

:Shockwave, Optimus has arrived and our operative is about to bring the NEST soldiers inside the facility: Lazerbeak reported to Shockwave.

:Good, I am in position with my pet. Remember, while I deal with Optimus, you shall 'thank' our operative: The one-eye Decepticon ordered.

:Understood: Lazerbeak said with a sinister grin as he watched the soldiers enter the building.

Lennox felt something was wrong here. The fact that he was in the ghost town Chernobyl wasn't the problem, but was their guide. Alexi Voskhod, the General Counsel of Ukraine Department of Energy, had met with him secretly, to inform him that his people had discovered what he believed to be Cybertronian, thus earning NEST's curiosity.

Coming with them were Optimus Prime and Ratchet, thus leaving Prowl in charge of the Autobots back in D.C, with Jazz backing him up. Optimus was happy to have the 1st lieutenant among them again, and it was thanks to Ratchet's medical skills and the Matrix that made it possible.

Lennox had Graham inform all the soldiers to be ready to have their radiation suit on once they reach the vicinity and He and Ratchet begun scanning for anything unusual, :Ratchet, do you detect anything?: Optimus asked the medic.

:Hard to tell Optimus, the radiation is blocking out anything else in there and causing my sensors to scramble so it's hard to get an actual fix on whatever this human found: The medic replied.

:Then all we can do now is wait for Colonel Lennox's findings: Optimus stated.

The closer they got to the device, the more Lennox smelled a trap. His first realization of it was when Mr. Voskhod wasn't wearing his protective gear and said it does not matter anymore.

The next part is that as they reached their destination, he felt like something was watching them, but could never see it. Whatever it was, Lennox had a hunch that Alexi knew what it was. His reasons for believing this was because just as the General Counsel was going to tell him something, he freaked out and left.

His men finally reached the device that had led them here. It was spherical shape device and looked like it was damaged. It gave off a decent amount of Energon, wish meant it had to be Cybertronian. "Okay prepare containment vessel and contact Optimus that we go what we came-"

Lennox's sentence was cut off when something shook the factory. At first nothing happened but the shaking continued and soldiers were shouting everywhere.

"Sir, the Energon detectors are going crazy, something is coming towards us." Graham shouted to Lennox.

Lennox had just gotten his weapon's safety off when he asked, "How close?"

Graham looked at the detector before replying, "Right underneath us!"

And suddenly it stopped. No one moved, as if worried that they might set it off again. Before anyone could relax, several metal tentacles, blades spinning around them, popped out of nowhere, and started destroying the room. The soldiers shouted in alarm and tried to avoid the tentacles and the blades. Lennox and another soldier had just gotten out of the way of a tentacle when it grabbed the device.

"Shit, everyone outside now! Do not fire until we are outside the factory and Optimus can back us up, move now!" Lennox ordered as he helped the soldier beside him get up.

Outside the factory Optimus was racing alongside the creature as he currently had it on his scanner. Judging by its form, there was no question to what this creature was.

:A Driller: Optimus told Ratchet through their transmitters. Drillers were large and dangerous creatures that lived underneath Cybertron's crust.

:The chances of a wild Driller coming to Earth is impossible, meaning that its being controlled. And there is only one Decepticon I know with the strength and cunning to accomplish such a task: Ratchet said.

:Shockwave: Both said, the name bringing dread and grief to their sparks. The Decepticon was the only Cybertronian considered an equal to Megatron, excluding Optimus Prime. He was also deadly, combining raw power with ruthless logic to win his battle. Shockwave was responsible for many deaths, not just Autobots.

:Ratchet, when we reach Lennox's team, stay with them while I'll deal with the beast: Optimus ordered.

:Understood: Ratchet replied.

Optimus continued scanning for any signs of their human allies, keeping an optic on the Driller too. Finally his audio receptors heard Lennox's voice, calling his name as he and his men fled the facility, followed by Russian soldiers too.

Suddenly the Driller and its tentacles popped out. Several came out right underneath Optimus, flipping the Autobot leader in the air. He managed to transform into robot mode, grunting as he landed on the ground with a thud.

As his trailer landed, it changed into an arsenal hangar, weapons along with his flight parts out and ready for action.

Lennox's team managed to get to Ratchet and gave Optimus space for him to fight. Optimus ran towards his weapons, grabbing a sword and shield, "Get behind me!" He shouted as he charged the tentacles that were currently harassing the soldiers and Ratchet.

Ratchet was doing okay, using his machine gun and saw to push the deadly tentacles back. But this caused him to get further away from the humans, who were having less luck then he was.

Suddenly the tentacle that had grabbed the device appeared, attacking the humans. With a jump, Optimus sliced off a part of the tentacle, releasing the device as it landed on the ground.

The Driller's head popped out, followed by its body. On a part of its body appeared what looked like a door, which what it was when it opened. Coming out of it was Shockwave, his one optic scanning the area, and his cannon arm fully charge. "Optimus" He snarled as he looked at the Autobot leader.

Optimus responded to it by raising his sword and shield and charged Shockwave. But instead, the massive Decepticon disappeared underground with his pet. Optimus stares before returning to Ratchet and the soldiers.

"Optimus are you alright sir?" The medic asked as the Autobot leader threw his sword to the ground. "I am fine Ratchet." Optimus replied before looking at Lennox, "How are you and your men Colonel?"

Lennox just nodded, still staring at the spot that Shockwave was standing. "What the hell was that thing?"

"That" Optimus said while walking towards the device, "Was Shockwave" He said, but his voice lowered as he stared down at the device, his optics widened, "It can't be…" He murmured.

"Do you know what it is?" Lennox asked, trying to figure it out this device. Ratchet got a better look at it and his optics too widened at the sight of it. "This is an engine part, from a long lost Autobot ship."

Somewhere else Lazerbeak watched as Alexi was scrambling to his car, fear in his eyes. The mini-con had already received Shockwave's communication about his engagement with Optimus and now was the time to act.

Squawking, he flew from his hiding spot straight towards Alexi's car, shooting at the front part of the vehicle. Once he was done, he landed on its roof to take a peek and was delighted to see the body of Alexi laying in the driver's seat.

Giving a cackling laugh just as the sounds of soldier's feet were closing in, Lazerbeak said to the corpse, "Pleasure doing business with you." And flew off.

So there you go, the first chapter of my altered DOTM story. Hope you like it.
