Optimus, Blackwolf, Arcee, Jack, and Ratchet all went out to find this stasis pod, and find out who or what it was. Everyone was driving while Optimus flew overhead, he then spotted the crash site. "Autobots, I've located the stasis pod, uploading coordinates now." he informed, flying to the crater. They all drove to the spot and there they saw it, a large container looking stasis pot, It was larger than Optimus, even in his 2.0 body. "Arcee and Jack, search around in case you see any signs of the Decepticons." he ordered them as they walked over to keep watch.

Optimus, Ratchet, and Blackwolf slid down to the pod, there was a control to open the house like stasis pod. "Ratchet, begin working on opening the pod." he ordered to the medic.

"Right away Optimus." he answered walking to the controls and getting to work. "Who do you think will be in there?" asked Blackwolf. Optimus thought about all the very large Decepticons, and Autobots. Only two matched this size. A decepticon this large would have to be Bruticus, but he would arrive as the separate Combaticons. And only one Autobot fits that description, but that would be-" he was interrupted by a mechanical roar, he looked to Ratchet who had gotten the pod opened. "Autobots, fall back!"he yelled as they scrambled to get up Optimus flew up, Blackwolf got up and gave Ratchet his servo and hoisted him up.

"What in Primus's name is happening?!" Arcee yelled, having heard the noise.

"The pod is opened, and I don't know who the frag is inside!" exclaimed Blackwolf. But then they felt the ground shake, and saw as a giant metal T-rex slowly walk up the slope. It had glowing red eyes, most was metallic silver, except the lower body was golden. It looked towards them, and showed it's metal teeth to the group. "Arcee, grab Jack and prepare to get him to safety." Optimus whispered. The titan roared again. "NOW!" Optimus yelled as Arcee grabbed Jack, transformed, and drove off. Optimus and Blackwolf opened fire, but their shots just bounced off. Ratchet got flung into several trees by it's tail. It seemed to just wanna keep destroying whatever it could.

It opened it's mouth and they saw the fumes of fire, "DUCK!" yelled Blackwolf as he pushed Optimus to the ground before the flames hit. They got back up but the mechanical beast was preparing to attack. "Autobot's, RUN!" Optimus yelled as he grabbed Ratchet and carried him with Blackwolf in tow. The metal monster was right after them, crushing trees in it's way. They saw as Arcee came running in their direction. "NOT THIS WAY!" Blackwolf yelled to her. She saw it coming and turned tail as well. Their hopes of escape were erased when they came to a cliff. "Arcee why are you here? I ordered you to get Jack to safety!" Optimus exclaimed.

"Jack's safe, I hid him, but I wasn't leaving you three alone!" she explained her actions. They then felt the stomps get closer, the ground shaking even more, and the thuds even louder.

"Autobots, Prepare to make a stand!" Optimus ordered drawing the Star Saber. Blackwolf stood in a battle stance, as did Arcee as they readied for their possible dooms.

The metal dinosaur appeared and the small group of Autobots charged at it. It rammed Optimus out of the way, Blackwolf leaped at it but the thing turned and swatted him with it's tail. Arcee blasted her arm cannons at it, which only seemed to make it angrier. It threw her down with one charge. It stood over her, ready to deliver the killing blow to her. When she closed her optics awaiting the end, nothing happened. She opened her optics and saw that Blackwolf had grabbed it's jaws holding it back, but his optics, they were deep red, much deeper than his old Decepticon optic color, when he saw Arcee near death he felt a deep anger and fury in is spark build up, he wasn't letting anything hurt his beloved Arcee. He switched his right servo to it's cannon and fired into the giant's mouth. It made it's mechanical roar in pain, it walked away for a moment before growing more angry and charging at Blackwolf, it roared ferociously and he challenged it with his own roar of battle, once it got too close he slid to the left side of its large head, used his right arm, and threw it over his head. Arcee was shocked at what he was doing, he was fighting it. Optimus too was shocked when he saw the display. Blackwolf leaped and mid air, switched to his right arm cannon and blasted at it's head, stunning it, and came down slamming his fist onto it's head.

It got back up and tried to fight but Blackwolf kicked it back to the ground, he pulled out his blades and held them to the beast's large neck. "If you hurt or so much as even touch her again, I will bury my blades as far as they can go through your spark." he threatened, slightly calming down, his optics returning to their bright yellow.

Blackwolf stood up, victorious, with the opportunity to end this titan's life when Optimus stopped him. "Stay your blades soldier, this one isn't an enemy." Optimus informed, Blackwolf was thinking his leader was crazy until the giant, metal T-Rex slightly stood up. It's body started shifting. It formed up into a huge titan looking transformer, he was nearly three times Blackwolf's height. His chest and upper torso was gold, his head and other features were black, and he had a red, visor instead of optics, he also showed no mouth. On his side was the hilt of what probably formed into a giant sword.

But then the titan spoke, "Me Grimlock sorry for hurting smaller bots. Me Grimlock was angry." the giant apologized. All their optics flew open except Optimus whose optics only widened slightly and Ratchet who was still knocked out cold. "It is good to have you back Grimlock." Optimus said, looking at the old Autobot war titan.

"Well Grimlock...welcome to Earth and Team Prime." Optimus nervously greeted the giant bot.

Several hours later, the bots were being patched up, but Grimlock was having trouble moving within the base, due to his large size. Finally Ratchet awoke and saw the titan and was struck with fear. He dropped to his knees, "My equipment is as good as scrap metal." he exclaimed sadly.

Blackwolf walked in and the giant saw him and walked slowly to him. "You fight well, you beat me Grimlock in battle, not many who could beat me, you are truly honorable warrior." he congratulated him.

"Thanks big guy, but know that you have to watch your anger, I don't want to see any of my family threatened by one of it's own members." Blackwolf explained to the giant, giving him a slight warning. Grimlock nodded understandingly and turned to Optimus. Blackwolf remembered how late it was and made his way for his quarters, ready to get some rest.

Optimus still had questions for the old Dinobot leader to answer."Grimlock, why did you come to Earth?" he asked, Grimlock sighed, knowing his story would have to be revealed.

"The others are dead, Shockwave killed them, we fell for ambush, I wake up, the others dead around me, Shockwave planning something big, and is making things that terrify even me." the titan explained, Optimus sighed, knowing Grimlock and Shockwave's past.

"I'm sorry for your losses Grimlock, I am sure they all died with honor, fighting for the glory of Cybertron, and whatever he plans, we will face it, no matter the situation or risk." The Prime explained, Grimlock seemed to calm at those words.

Blackwolf arrived to his door, he typed in the key-code and let it slide open, when he entered, it was dark and he saw those gorgeous blue optics with pink rings peering at him, he felt his spark melt. "You're always going to get me at the most unexpected moments, aren't you?" he asked the femme.

"Yup." she cooed. He chuckled as he got in and laid next to her. She shifted over and kissed him. Her arms wrapped around his neck and he put his hands around her waist. They held the kiss for minutes before separating. Just as she did earlier, she held her helm against his, being around him made her feel safe, loved, wanted. After a short while she finally leaned into his chest and slowly drifted off into sleep mode.

He looked at her and remembered how lucky he was, how great life was for him right now, how his life had truly changed for the better. He slowly drifted off thinking, "Heh, now a cybertronian dinosaur, what else is next?"

He then closed his optics and went into sleep mode.
