Wall-E: Transform and Roll out
Chapter 6: The origins of the Vector Sigma Key
After hearing EVE's question about "who is Megatron," Optimus moves his right hand to his head and presses a button. His eyes shoot out what appears to beam and aims it on the dry ground where John, WALL-E, and EVE. The beam created holographic images of the Autobots home planet Cybertron involved in an out war between factions. Scenes of explosions, robot vs. robot fights, and evacuations of innocents. Women and children being helpless while the young are left in tears of sorrow and fear. The three Earth residents looked in awe at the images while Prime tells the story.

Prime's Narration:
For years, our home planet was in a brink of civil war. Cities and the Orbital Torus States were major battle grounds for two factions: Autobots and Decepticons. Megatron, the evil leader of the Decepticons, had one thing in mind: domination of the planet. However, in order for him to conquer the planet, he had to retrieve the only item that will make him more powerful: the Vector Sigma Key. Vector Sigma is a super computer that gave me and every other Transformer life and personality. The key was protected by my creator, Alpha Trion. As for Vector Sigma, the High Council from the Chamber of Ancients, were the guardians of the Vector Sigma Matrix.
One day, Megatron and his forces invaded the home Alpha Trion and stole the key to create his new team of Deceptions: Dead End, Drag Strip, Breakdown, Wild Rider, and Motormaster; the Stunticons. Megatron determined to fight fire with fire since our team consisted of land vehicles and the we were no match against them. We fought for the key but Megatron and the Decepticon's had held us back from ever reaching it. Three of our spies, Bumblebee, Rewind, and Eject, were able to retrieve and infiltrate inside Decepticon HQ and found out Megatron's new plan: create an ultimate Deception with the power of the Vector Sigma key.
In our last effort, we stormed into Decepticon HQ and regain control of the key but the ruthless Megatron was not going to give up. We hurried back to Alpha Trion, who was waiting for us Iacon. Suddenly, the Stunticons broke through our defenses and attacked with full force to reclaim the key. Alpha Trion did the only thing possible for: send the Vector Sigma Key away into space. Megatron's ultimate plan was ruined and he gathered his forces and headed to space to reclaim what he has loss. However, we did not leave Cyberton just yet. We needed a new team to help us defeat the Stunticons. With the help of Alpha Trion, we the Autobots created a new team of our own: Silverbolt, Air Raid, Fireflight, Slingshot, and Skydive; the Aerialbots. However, we did not use the key to create the Aerialbots. Instead, Alpha Trion sacrificed himself to Vector Sigma in order to create our new warriors. Alpha Trion had requested to return the key back in order to restore full power of the matrix inside of it.
End of Prime's Narration.
"So you see WALL-E." Prime said. "After a very long search, you found the key to Vector Sigma. You hold the key to saving our world. Do you know where it is?"
WALL-E thought for a minute and he spoke to Prime the best way he can.
"Mmm...Shhip." WALL-E said.
"Ship?" Kup said confused. "Does the lad know how to talk?"
"Maybe his vocal process is damaged." Cliffjumper added.
"He can't talk perfectly though he can say a word or two." John said to the two Autobots. "But I know where the key is."
"You do human?" Prime said. "Where?"
"What WALL-E meant by "ship," meant that it's located in our ship called the Axiom. However, the Captain is at his residence and he knows how to gain access. I can you lead the way if you can give me a ride."
"Then take us. Autobots! Transform and Roll out!"
The Autobots and Prime transformed into their vehicle modes. Prime opened his doors and instructed John, WALL-E, and EVE to get in. Prime drove out first on the road to Captain McRea's residence with the Autobots following behind and leaving the Ark parked at its location.
As the Autobots drove off, they are unaware that familiar adversary was watching them from a hiding place on the edge of land where the dry land is – Frenzy. The young Decepticon was spying on them and learning the information that he needed to know about the Vector Sigma Key. He contacts Megatron on his communicator.
"Frenzy to Megatron." The Decepticon spy called. "Come in, Megatron."
In the far reaches of space, at the Nemesis control bridge, Soundwave was getting a signal from his Cassette-Bot.
"Megatron." Soundwave said to his leader. "Incoming message."
"Put it on screen, Shockwave." Megatron commanded.
"Yes your excellency." Shockwave replied.
Shockwave goes to the control panel and press a button to activate the screen monitor. The monitor came on to reveal Frenzy on Earth.
"Frenzy calling lord Megatron." Frenzy said on screen. "Do you copy?"
"This better be good Frenzy." Said a sternly Megatron.
"I have some good news and some bad news. The good news: I just found out the location of the Vector Sigma Key. It's located on a human ship called the Axiom."
"What's the bad news?"
"The bad news: the Autobots are here on Earth and they are going to the Axiom immediately."
At this minute, Megatron exploded in anger of what he heard.
"WHAT?! YOU FOOL!" shouted Megatron as pound his fist near a control panel."YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO NOTIFY ME ABOUT THE AUTOBOTS ARRIVAL BEFORE YOUR DISCOVERY. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR ASSIGNMENT?"
"But sir," Frenzy stuttered. "I...I...I got beaten pretty bad by Wheelie who was protecting the Earth robot named WALL-E who had the key."
"I say we go to Earth now Megatron." Starscream said. "It's a perfect opportunity to destroy those Autobots."
"Who said that you are calling the shots Starscream?" Megatron unhappily said. "I'm still giving orders here and I demand that we get the key my way. Shockwave, run me an analysis on this Axiom through the Earth's archive files."
"I'm already on it sir." Shockwave replied.
Using his only hand on his right arm, Shockwave searched for information on the Axiom through the ship's computer mainframe and the Earth's archive files.
"I have found an article about the Axiom." Shockwave said to Megatron. "The Axiom is a human, intergalactic starliner that left Earth 700 years ago when the planet was covered in junk. It housed over a thousand flesh creatures or more and it had mechanical robots as assistants and servants."
"So Megatron," Starscream pondered. "What do you suggest?"
"I say we go onto Plan B." Megatron answered.
"Plan B? You're not thinking about retreating are you?"
"No. I have the perfect solution to bring the key back by force. Soundwave!"
"Yes Lord Megatron." Soundwave said.
"Bring forth my two loyalist Decepticons: Blackout and Barricade."
"As you command sir."
"What?" protested Starscream. "You're not going to send them to Earth. Why not me or Thundercracker or Skywarp? We can get the key in a microsecond!"
"Shut up Starscream!" Said an impatient Megatron. "I had heard enough out of you. Blackout and Barricade have been my best two Decepticon warriors for decades and they never fail me."
Soundwave went to a control panel that is part of the Nemesis' communication relay and activates a microphone to call out Blackout and Barricade.
"Blackout and Barricade." Soundwave said on the mic. "Report to the bridge. I repeat: report to the bridge."
"One last thing Soundwave." Megatron said. "Bring out Rumble from your compartment."
"Yes lord Megatron." Soundwave replied after he disconnected the microphone.
Soundwave presses his eject button to let out his third Cassette bot named Rumble, who is the "twin-brother" of Frenzy, though his body color is black, gold, and red. At the same time, two more Decepticons entered the bridge. One is a transporter for the Decepticon drones and he carries his companion on his back named Scorponok, a mechanical scorpion. His alternate mode, in vehicle mode, is an MH-53M Pave low helicopter. His name is Blackout. Next to him is his partner of the team and Decepticon hunter. His alternate mode, in vehicle form, is a Saleen S281 Mustang Police Car with the words, "To Punish and Enslave," imprinted on his side. His name is Barricade.
"You requested our services lord?" Barricade asked Megatron.
"Yes I did." Replied Megatron. "It's time we go with Plan B."
