After Sentinel Prime (TF Animated) had arrived at the Autobot base, he was disgusted by what he saw. As if Optimus being the commander of the Autobots was not bad enough, Starscream was now part of the Autobots, bonded to Hotshot, and the two had sparklings. And while Snowseeker was too young to bother Sentinel, Sentinel could not stand Slugbug and Kryptonight, though he was unaware that they were twins. Sentinel did not like Kryptonight because the little one was a seeker. Sentinel did not like Slugbug because the sparkling could see right through him and his motives.
And then there was the matter of Slugbug's and Kryptonight's friends. Luckywing, a part organic part robot saber horse, was always playing with the twins, as was Hurricane, the oldest sparkling of Demolisher and Cyclonus, both former Decepticons. Sentinel was appalled at these four little sparklings as they represented everything he hated, even though since Megatron had been killed in action, the cons and the Autobots had made peace. And, while Slugbug Sentinel could tolerate, he was not going to tolerate Luckywing, Hurricane or Kryptonight.
And so Sentinel bided his time, waiting for an opportunity. And while the wimp was not going to go directly after Starscream, for Sentinel knew of Starscream's deadly accurate reputation, and was not going to get his aft slagged by a seeker. But since Sentinel knew next to nothing about saber horses, particularly femme saber horses, Sentinel figured that he would have it easiest when Safire watched the little ones.
The problem was that Safire was usually running about, and so Hotshot, Optimus, Starscream, Demolisher, Jazz (G1), Prowl (G1), or Ultra Magnus (G1) would usually end up watching the sparklings. Cyclonus was never left alone to watch the young ones as he just was not responsible enough to watch four sparklings. And so Sentinel just bided his time until the time came when he could make his first attempt of going after the four little sparklings. And in not too long, Sentinel would have his first chance.
About 2 weeks after arriving on earth, Sentinel finally saw his chance as Safire was alone watching Slugbug, Luckywing, Hurricane, and Kryptonight. And figuring that femme bots were not built to fight, Sentinel approached. Safire saw the bot coming, but not knowing his intentions, she kept a sharp optic on the bot as he approached. Safire could tell from the bot's attitude that he was not very respectful of femmes and their capabilities. But sensing that the sparklings did not want this bot near them, Safire got up and went to go confront the unwelcome mech.
"What are you doing here, Sentinel? What do you want?" asked Safire, placing herself between the sparklings and sentinel.
"I wanted to go see the sparklings" Sentinel lied, hoping that Safire would not catch it.
Safire sized up the mech, and then looked at the sparklings. Sentinel, being new, did not know how to read Slugbug, but Safire took one look into Slugbug's optics, which began flickering in blue. Safire knew from the look on Slugbug's optics plus with the reactions of the other sparklings, including her own little femme Luckywing, that Sentinel was not telling the full truth. And when Safire received a secret message from Slugbug about how Sentinel had greeted the twins, Safire grew even angrier.
Meanwhile, unaware of just how deadly the femme was, Sentinel tried getting past her to see if he could get his hands on the sparklings. But as he tried, Safire changed from her robot mode to her Saber horse mode, a mode she was much more deadly in. Sentinel merely laughed, thinking the femme was nothing to concern him – how wrong he was.
As Sentinel tried to make a bee line for the sparklings, Safire used her powerful back legs to kick the much larger mech halfway across the room. Sentinel hit the metal wall with a loud thud, but that did little if anything to stop him. And as he tried to come back again, Safire reared up, bringing down her powerful front legs on Sentinel's chest, denting his armor. Sentinel was completely caught off guard as he had never expected a femme to be so strong. And as Safire continued to beat on Sentinel, the sparklings gathered in a group to hide, afraid of Sentinel, triggering Safire to change.
Sentinel managed to get out from under Safire's hooves only to look up and see that no longer was a red and blue saber horse looking down on him, but a black and red one, with anger in its eyes. Sentinel was scrabbling, as the Black mare that stood before him was starting to scare the oil out of the poor bot.
"Who...Who the hell are you?" asked Sentinel, trying to back away from the enraged mare.
"My name is Evil Angel, and if you think that you can threaten my sparkling as well as her friends, you have another thing coming!" Shouted the enraged mare, anger flashing in her eyes.
Sentinel swallowed hard as he tried to find a way to leave, but was unable to before Evil Angel took a bite out of his armor. And sense Evil Angel wanted to teach the mech a lesson and not kill him, she injected a milder poison into his systems, one that would cause the bot to be delirious for a total of 48 earth hours. And as Evil Angel injected the substance into Sentinel, it started working quickly. And as it started working, Evil Angel turned back into Safire. Watching her work, Safire remained between Sentinel and the hiding sparklings. And when Prowl (G1)came along and saw Sentinel acting up and bothering Safire, Prowl had the blue plow thrown into the brig.
And once Sentinel was removed from the room, the sparklings came out from hiding. Safire looked at the little ones as they looked gratefully up at her. Slugbug, the leader of the group, spoke for them all.
"Thank you, Safire. He wants to harm us, and thought you would be an easier target than a mech" stated Slugbug, putting things bluntly.
"You are welcome, and I will tell Prime and alert him and the rest of the crew. We want to make sure you all stay safe" replied Safire, as she guided the small herd out of the room and toward Prime's office.
And down in the brig, Sentinel was going crazy and there was nothing he could do about it. He would just have to suffer until the 48 hours were up, and then – no more mr. nice bot – he was going to get those sparklings come hell or high water.
