I know Transformers don't have DNA but I couldn't find anything else to go with so just go with it.
Darkblade just stood there with his feather blades out. "Who are you!" he demanded.
Dinobot stepped in front of Darkblade. He was easily taller, about three times Darkblade's raptor height. "The larger question is who are you?" asked Dinobot while staring at the new being.
"I can honestly say I don't know." said Darkblade crossing his arms. He eyed everyone cautiously.
Rhinox was busy examining Darkblade's data.
Optimus stepped forward. "My name is Optimus Primal. We are the Maximals…"
"Maximals!" shouted Darkblade in shock. He readied his feather blades and growled. "Don't come anywhere near me you monsters!"
Optimus stepped back in surprise.
"Monsters?" asked Cheetor. "This guy's obviously a Pred." Cheetor grabbed his blaster but didn't aim it. He just kept his hand on the trigger. Rattrap did the same.
"I'm not a Predacon!" hissed Darkblade. "At least I don't think I am." He became deep in thought for a moment then looked around. "I don't know what I am but I do know what you Maximals have done." He turned his attention to Dinobot.
"The Wielder!" he thought.
Rhinox turned around in his chair. "I believe I can shed some light on this. His analysis is finished." He motioned for everyone to gather around the screen. Rattrap stayed where he was with his gun ready.
"His Spark isn't very old. Readings indicate that he was created quite recently. A few weeks ago at the most." said Rhinox.
"So he must have just been made then somehow got on this planet." stated Optimus.
"That's not the strangest part. His energy signature is unlike anything I've ever seen. It doesn't match any known faction but it is similar to the alien technology."
Cheetor looked at Darkblade who was still battle ready in the corner just staring at Dinobot apparently in thought.
"So he's an alien?" asked the young bot.
"I don't think so." said Rhinox typing into the computer. "They may be similar but it is still very distant from the alien tech." Rhinox typed in one more code. When the results opened up Rhinox read them carefully then jumped in shock. He leaned in closer to see if he was reading it correctly.
"You are not going to believe this." said Rhinox in shock.
"What?" shouted Rattrap. "Is he the son of Unicron or something?"
"Nope." stated Rhinox. "He's the son of Dinobot."
The crew just stared in disbelief.
"Dinobot's DNA seems to serve as a template in his DNA. It combined with the code from an unknown source and it mutated to become individualistic just like all of ours' did when we exited the Allspark and went into a protoform." said the bewildered Rhinox.
"This is impossible!" Dinobot growled. "The readings must be wrong. He is obviously another clone Megatron produced to fool us all!"
Rhinox studied the data carefully. "There is no error Dinobot." He looked at Darkblade. "He is your son. Like it or not."
Darkblade overheard this. The wielder was his father? How could that be? What did this mean?
Rattrap began to chuckle that turned into outright laughter.
"What fembot got over-energized enough to have a kid with Dino-butt?" he gasped. He placed his weapon aside and walked toward Darkblade to examine him. He then looked at Dinobot. "And you didn't even hand out cigars." he laughed. "But seriously, who was it?"
Dinobot growled at Rattrap's laughter. He was a warrior. He had never been with a fembot. As a warrior he was to fight and defeat his enemies until there were no more to defeat. He didn't have time for a relationship. Then he suddenly remembered something from long, long ago. His train of thought was interrupted abruptly by Rattrap slapping his back in a congratulatory manner.
"I'll run an analysis on the DNA to see if I can come up with a match." said Rhinox.
"What do we do with the kid?" asked Cheetor. He leaned in to pet Darkblade's head only to receive a scratch.
"Stay away from me Maximal!" he yelled. He leaped into the air and kicked Cheetor in the face. The yellow mech fell down and Darkblade jumped onto his chest. He raised his blades to deliver a blow but was suddenly swatted away.
Dinobot pinned him against the wall and growled.
"I do not know what Megatron has told you but I can assure you it is lies!" He yelled.
Darkblade didn't pay attention to the statement and just looked at Dinobot.
"You're the wielder." he said. "The one who defeated the monster."
Dinobot just stared at him with a questionable face.
Optimus grabbed Dinobot's shoulder. "Perhaps a more peaceful father-son meeting is in order."
Dinobot let go of Darkblade who fell to the ground. The teen-bot looked up. Dinobot actually listened to the Maximal. Why? Didn't he know of their crimes? So why was he on their side?
"Dinobot, you are in charge of… of… What is your name?" asked Optimus.
Darkblade growled but tolerated the Maximal. "Megatron called me Darkblade." Dinobot snarled.
"That is no longer your name." said Dinobot. Darkblade stared at him in confusion.
"I you bare my DNA then you shall have a name fitting to a warrior not a soldier."
"Then what is it?" asked the young mech.
At the Darksyde…
Megatron growled in anger as he dangled Tarantulas over the CR tub.
"I would take this opportunity to destroy you." said Megatron squeezing Tarantulas's neck. "But I need you alive. Now tell me all you know about the artificial Spark!"
Tarantulas choked in Megatron's grip and struggled in the CR tub.
"You worked on it just as much as I have." he choked. "You should know."
Megatron tightened his grip.
"You changed something. The sparkling couldn't transform!" he yelled.
"I only added some sub-conscious education in the Spark. I didn't affect anything that would interfere with his transformation." scratched Tarantulas. "It must be his DNA. His mother…" Megatron moved the frightened spider's face closer. "Yes? Go on!"
"His mother was a neutral." Tarantulas choked under Megatron's grip, "She was a former Predacon of the warrior variety. I don't know her name but I do know she didn't any part in the war. She changed her activation so she wouldn't be considered a member of either faction." said Tarantulas. "She was the one who actually found the Spark in an alien pod. It absorbed her DNA code I couldn't reverse it! You only worked on increasing it's power so you didn't see this."
"Then why didn't you get the activation code from her?" asked Megatron angrily.
"She was defending the Spark when I went to retrieve it." said Tarantulas nervously. "She was in the way so I had to… Take care of her."
Megatron roared in anger the slammed the spider into the CR tank.
"What do we do now Royalty?" asked Inferno.
Megatron walked past Inferno and sat in his commander's chair. "Attacking the Axalon head on would be foolish. I still influence his processor. If we can't grab him, he'll just come to us. Yeees."
