Hearing the words Optimus quickly ran over to his crying son and leaned down in front of the tiny young mech.
"Bumblebee why would you say something like that?" The prime asked surprised to even hear the words.
"Cause that's all I am I can't do anything your so great and strong and I'm your weak and useless son…" Bee buzzed between sobs.
"No your not I'm great and strong because I have the support of my family" the prime said pulling his son close to his chest.
"What?" Bee stared at the prime with tear filled optics.
"Our team our family I couldn't be great with out you guys we all somehow keep each other going" the prime smiled as he looked at his team.
"yeah…. But what am I supposed to be?" Bee questioned hoping for a good answer.
"What do you mean?" the prime wondered.
"Well the twins bulk and Wheeljack our the top warriors Jazz and Arcee are great field marshals Hound and prowl are great at making quick battle plans and Mirage is a great spy and Ratchet can fix anything!" Bee listed off everything about the team.
"And what am I?" Bee buzzed.
"your our soon to be scout" the prime said to his ranting son.
"How soon?" Bee asked a little happier.
"Well I was going to tell you I can probably give you some better mobility but you decided to blow up" Ratchet started to rant sarcastically.
"Sorry Ratch so when can you dod that!" Bee questioned excitedly.
"Anytime now if you bots move the hell out of the way!" Ratchet yelled at the bots in the crowded room, and watched them scatter.
Bee giggled at the scattering bots as Ratchet picked him up and placed him on the medical berth.
"Alright I'm going to put you out ok?" Ratchet told the young mech that nodded and drifted into a deep recharge.
"How long will it take?" Jazz asked the medic that was picking at the small mechs processor.
"Not to long" The medic answered concentrated on the processor.
"How will the recovery come?" Optimus asked the hard working CMO.
"well it'll be like teaching him how to again but it will be faster" Ratchet said as he pulled fried dark micro chips out of Bumblebee's processor.
"The mobility will be better but he can only walk around for so long I am not able to fully make his mobility functional" Ratchet said as he closed up the opening he made on the young mechs helm.
"That's alright as long as he can walk somewhat I'm sure he'll appreciate it" Arcee said happily as she leaned against a red mech.
"Yeah I know he's a pretty forgiving sparkling….. I meant young mech" Ratchet corrected himself.
"So when's he gonna come to we haz to show him all our tricks" the twins excitedly asked as they jumped up and down with giant smiles.
"Pretty soon" Ratchet couldn't help but let out a small laugh at the bubbly twins.
"I didn't put him out for to long so he should be coming out of recharge anytime now" Ratchet said watching the tiny mech awake from recharge.
"how are you feeling?" Ratchet asked as Bees optics flickered on and off.
"What did you do Ratch I feel like I'm going offline" Bee burly buzzed out slipping into a permanent recharge.
"WHAT!" Ratchet panicked all the bots in the room followed Ratchets panick.
"Ha ha I got you guys good!" Bee beeped through laughs.
"THAT WAAS NOT FUNNY!" Ratchet freaked on him and whacked him with his wrench.
"Ow hey…" Bee whined rubbing his hem.
"Ha ha that was a good one" the twins encouraged him.
"Hey don't encourage him!" Ratchet snapped.
"I'm feeling fine especially since I can feel my legs!" Bee cheerfully beeped.
"yes I'm glad your happy but you should know that your legs will only work for so long so don't forget to take it easy and take breaks!" Ratchet explained to the young mech who nodded to every word.
"are you listening to me!" Ratchet snapped at Bumblebee that was watching the twins.
"Aw come on doc bot we'll take care of him!" the twins said waving Bee over to them.
"Oh yeah is that so?" Ratchet scoffed turning to the twins.
"Yeah we were listening to you go on saying his legs only work so long he needs to take it easy and take breaks" the twins said as they walked towards Bee and helped him walk to the door.
"Wow you guys were listening is there some odd planet alignment today?" Ratchet asked watching the three go outside the door.
"they better take care of him" Ratchet said going to clean up his tools.
"Ratchet I'm sure they will" Prime smiled.
"Hey wait up!" Bumblebee hobbled behind the skating twins.
"aw we're sorry Bee here let us help you" Sideswipe skated back to him.
"Yeah her take this foot take a step yeah just like that now take your other foot and take a step there you got it one foot after the other and you got it!" the twins encouraged the tiny young mech, that started to walk and buzzed happily as he walked.
"Yeah!" the twins cheered and high-fived.
"Aw they can be really helpful when they get the chance huh?" Arcee said standing on top of the cliff side on the roof of the Autobot base.
"Yeah I agree" an accent came from beside her.
"I'm glad Bee's finally walking around I hate seeing him depressed" Arcee added.
"Yeah after 15 years he finally gets to walk" Mirage said, pulling Arcee into his side watching the twins skate around the walking Bee.
"So what we gonna do Sides n Sunny?" Bee bubbly buzzed.
"Well we were going to go to a decepticon mine and bug the crap outta them but I don't think it would be to safe for us to take you there when your still figuring out your new legs" Sunstreaker explained to the young mech.
"aw come on I wanna go fight cons to I'm going to be out in the field with you guys now" Bee told the twins.
"Yeah….true but I don't feel like knowing what the wrath of a prime could do if we did take you n you got hurt" Sideswipe shivered.
"yeah we'll take you once you get the hang of your legs n you get out in the field we promise" The twins nodded there heads at Bee.
"You promise?" Bee asked.
"We promise" the twins said skating backwards.
"we should take you back to base to show the bots there how good you can walk what you think?" Sideswipe said trying to change the subject.
"yeah!" Bee cheered and followed the twins to the base.
"Hey guys look at this guy" the twins said as they stood on each side of the doorway, as the bots in the room all turned to see a happy young mech proudly walk in.
"Well look at that you just get out of recharge and your up and walking around.
"Yep I sure am Ratch thank you!" Bee excitedly beeped and hugged the medic.
"your welcome kid" Ratchet smiled and guided the limp young mech to the couch beside his father.
"Now rest, your legs are getting tired" Ratchet said as he placed Bee on the couch and patted him on the head and walked off to his lab.
"Hey there you!" Prime cooed pulling the small mech fully onto the couch and tickling him.
"Nn…nn…no….da…..da…dad st…st…stop!" Bee giggled madly, trying to beep out the words as he kicked at his dads strong chest that did little to repeal the prime.
"Oh you think you can kick me away do you!" The prime blew on Bee's stomach making the young laugh harder making the tiny mech's cooling system turn on.
"Ok…ok…you win!" Bee beeped desperately trying to catch his breath.
"For now" the prime smiled at his son that lay weak on the couch beside him.
Ratchet rolled his optics but had a giant smile on, as he missed hearing Bumblebee's giggles.
"He got you good didn't he squeaky?" Bulkhead asked walking into the room with Wheeljack and jazz.
"y..ye…yeah.." Bee finally got a breath.
"I don't think I got him good enough!" Prime tickled Bee's doorwings.
"awash" Bee screeched as he was tortured.
"Prime stop torturing the poor little guy" Arcee smiled walking over to the father and son on the couch.
"let him cool off" Arcee laughed pulling Bee back up into a sitting position on the couch.
"Thanks for the help Cee" Bee buzzed happily and swung his legs that didn't come close to touching the floor.
"No problem Bee" Arcee smiled and walked back over to Mirage.
"are my legs rested now Ratch?" Bee beeped ready to hop off the couch and walk around the desert with the twins Wheeljack, Jazz, and Bulkhead.
"Yes your free to go just don't push yourself to far!" Ratchet called after Bee, as he followed the twins out.
"I won't bye dad, Cee, Ratch, Mirwage, Houn, and Prow" Bee buzzed back and waved to them.
"You take care of him and let him rest when he gets tired ok!" Ratchet sternly said to Bulkhead, Jazz, and Wheeljack that were halfway through the door.
"Don't worry doc bot we got him covered" Jazz said as he followed the bigger bots out of the base.
"Good" Ratchet nodded and walked back to his med bay.
"I love how Bee still calls us by are pet names it's so cute" Arcee giggled.
"Yeah that's because that's all his processor can compute" Ratchet explained.
"Even if that's the reason why it's still adorable" Arcee cheerfully corrected Ratchet.
"Yeah" Prime said with a smile.
"I'm happy he's up and out enjoying hanging with the twins" Optimus joyfully said to the bots that walked in the middle of the room.
"Yeah the only thing I don't look forward to is the pranks that are soon to come from him, he's enough of a trouble maker now!" Ratchet complained as the bots in the room chuckled at his comment.
"agh right…" Prowl sighed.
"those twins are nothing but trouble" Prowl complained.
"That is not true" Mirage actually spoke up for once.
"wha…ok how so?" Prowl asked surprised to hear the spy speak clear and loud.
"well they are very caring and are very smart and inventive" Mirage said answering a shocked Prowl.
"Inventive yes caring maybe smart no!" Ratchet added to Mirages explanation.
"why would you say that!" Mirage snapped.
"Can you say that again?" Ratchet asked not understanding the bots words with his heavy accent.
Mirage gave a blank angry look at the medic.
"What when you get angry or excited you speak fast and it's hard to understand you" Ratchet snapped at the red mech.
"I said why would you say that…" Mirage calmed down.
"Because I know you and Jazz hung out with the twins on cybetron in that abandoned warehouse causing trouble and pulling pranks" Ratchet explained as Arcee and prime giggled at Ratchets fury.
"yeah and!" Mirage spoke faster.
"Well at least you settled down a bit the twins haven't changed one bit" Ratchet scoffed.
"Yeah so they're awesome, live life and don't dawn on the bad things that go on" Mirage defended his friends.
"that was your motto wasn't it?" Hound joined in the conversation.
"Yes… how'd you know?" Mirage suspiciously asked Hound.
"Because you used to yell it at everyone who got angry at you guy's and that one time was me" Hound laughed.
"oh… sorry bout that…" Mirage hunched over a bit.
"Don't be sorry" Hound laughed.
"It's great advice to give" Optimus joined in the happy conversation.
Outside with the lively one's
"Hey Sideswipe catch!" Bulkhead shouted as he threw a boulder at the silver mech.
"Holy crap!" Sideswipe slid back as he caught the boulder.
"Here Sunstreaker!" Sideswipe threw to his twin.
"Thanks hey Jack heads up!" Sunstreaker tossed the boulder to Wheeljack.
"Hey Jazz heads!" Wheeljack threw the boulder to Jazz who burly had a chance to cath the boulder.
"Geez man give the bot the warning when you toss the boulder not after!" Jazz laughed with the others.
"Jazz pass it to me!" Bee beeped jumping up and down.
"uuuh sure Bee here yeah go" Jazz said tossing the boulder that, Bumblebee had second thoughts about seeing the boulder was much bigger than him.
"oof!" Bee was tackled out of the way by a red blur.
Bee switched his optics back on to take a look at who saved him from becoming sheet metal.
"I think that might be a little to much for you to handle" a familiar bots accent came through to Bee's audio receptors as he was picked up off the desert floor.
"yeah… thanks Mirwage…" Bee whistled a little embarrassed.
"What brings you here my red friend?" Jazz asked as he walked over and picked the boulder up.
"well I the bots were starting a conversation with me and a didn't like that fact so I came out to hang with you crazy mechs" Mirage explained.
"Good enough excuse for me you never liked those big annoying conversations anyway!" Sideswipe grabbed the boulder from Jazz and quickly tossed it to Mirage.
"Hey a little warning would be nice?" Mirage tossed the rock back to the silver twin that had a giant grin.
"of course sorry I forgot" Sideswipe tossed the rock at his brother who got the impact of the rock in his stomach.
"Ow you ass!" Sunstreaker tackled his brother and started a full out brawl, Sideswipe quickly escaped his brothers grip and started skating down the canyon, as the bots that were with him laughed hard and gave chase to the two brothers.
"Ha good luck trying to catch me Sunshine I'm faster!" Sideswipe teased.
"Hey don't call me that!" Sunstreaker dangerously caught up to his brother.
Bee was at the front with the twins but quickly started to fall behind the bots that were much bigger than him, and eventually his legs gave out and made him slide a good distance on the dry desert floor.
Mirage jumped in front of the twins that quickly skated around him dodging him easily, Mirage got a good site from behind the other charging bots, of a downed youngling.
"Hey guys!" Mirage quickly called as he ran back to be who was trying to get back onto his feet.
"Hey Bee you alright?" Mirage said helping the young mech to his feet.
Bumblebee had no feeling in his legs what so ever as he fell to his knees as soon as Mirage let him go, Mirage quickly knelt down to be level with the youngling.
"are you alright?" Mirage asked in a worried tone.
"Yeah my legs just need a rest that's all" Bee beeped as he leaned back and sat on the ground.
"Hey everything ok?" Sideswipe and Sunstreaker quickly skated up to the two on the ground.
"Yep just taking a break" Mirage answered the concerned twins.
"oh ok" the twins settled down.
"Hey everything ok?" Jazz asked as he and two others came over.
"Bee just needed a break that's all" Sunstreaker answered the three that jogged over.
"Oh… why din't ya tell us you needed a break Bee?" Jazz asked the youngling on the ground.
"I was having to much fun!" Bee whired happily.
"Aw Bee your such a good lil mech" Jazz cheerfully laughed.
The twins transformed into their alt forms and revved their engines.
"How bout a race?" the twins both suggested.
"I'm in!" Bee quickly said transforming he knew this canyon from the inside out.
"Alright!" the other quickly transformed.
"the finish is at the boulder arch at the end of the canyon" Jazz said revving his engine.
"Ok go!" Sideswipe shouted doing a burnout.
And they were off the sound of engines roaring down the canyon echoed off the canyon walls.
"You sure you have enough energon Sideswipe!" Mirage teased.
"You sure you still have racing still in ya?" Sideswipe teased back as he pulled ahead, but was quickly passed by a red blur, Bee turned down into another road knowing it was a shortcut and he could easily pass the older mechs, BANG!
Bee quickly came to a halt as his front end hit something, Bumblebee quickly reversed to so what he hit, Bee Transformed and walked backwards and tripped over his own foot since he didn't know walking backwards very well, the object that he hit watched his every move as he sat on the desert floor.
"uuuh s…sorry I didn't mean to hit you…." Bee beeped sincerely to the con.
The faceless con didn't say a word he walked straight up the Bee and leaned down staring into the younglings icy blue optics.
*I think I know you…* Bumblebee jumped at hearing a voice echo through his head.
"y…you…do…" Bee beeped quizzically as he felt the con wasn't going to hurt him, actually he kind of recognized the con.
"You seem familiar…" Bee told the faceless con.
*maybe we know each other who are you?* the faceless con asked
"I'm Bu…." Bumblebee was cut off by a plasma shot hitting the con in the chest and making him fly away.
"mblebee…" Bee finished beeping as a large green mech followed by five others approached him.
"Bee are you alright!"
"Did that con hurt you?"
"I swear if he touched you he's not going to see the light of day!" Sideswipe threatened.
"That's right" his brother agreed.
"No I'm fine…" Bee beeped to his caretakers.
"Ok good you can never trust one of those cons" Wheeljack added as he and the twins put their swords away.
"we can't but he seemed really nice he didn't even hit me or yell at me" Bee buzzed as he was placed back onto his feet.
"That's weird" Jazz said wondering off into a cloud of thoughts.
"What con was it I didn't get a really good look" Wheeljack asked.
"I don't know" Bumblebee whistled as he shrugged.
"Oh well your safe now let's go home" Sunstreaker whined.
"yeah ok Ratchet can you give us a ground bridge?" Bulkhead asked as the green swirls popped up in front of the group.
"so did you have fun?" Prowl asked the bots that cam through the bridge.
"Yeah!" the group answered.
"you guys are covered in dirt and dust" Hound said walking into the main room.
"Go wash yourself you filthy animals out out out!" Ratchet snapped.
"There's a hose out back and some cleaning supplies go!" Ratchet shoed them out back, except one that escaped.
Bumblebee squeaked as he was picked up and taken out back.
"Oh no you don't if we have to wash up to do you" Wheeljack said holding Bee in place as the twins sprayed each other with the hose than quickly sprayed the squirming youngling in the wreckers servos.
"NO JACK!" Bumblebee clicked as he was scrubbed and sprayed by the bots that were outside.
Bumblebee's chirps and squeals could be heard from inside the base.
"That kid's never going to change" Arcee smiled after she jumped from hearing the younglings squeals.
"nope" Optimus agreed as the soaking mechs walked into the main room.
"GO DRY YOUSELVES OUTSIDE GO!" Ratchet said throwing a bunch of towels at the bots and on the soaked floor.
"Ha ha oops sorry doc" the twins laughed and dried themselves.
"Geez commonsense!" Ratchet scoffed as he handed each of the mechs some energon.
"How come I don't get any?" Bumblebee whined seeing the other mechs drinking energon.
"Because that energon is to strong for your little frame so here" Ratchet said handing him some medium grade energon.
"thanks…" Bee buzzed rolling his optics.
"So what did you crazy bots do?" nothing out of the ordinary just running around and racing" Wheeljack and Jazz explained..
"Well it sounds like you guys had quite a day" Optimus said to the mechs as he walked over to his yawning youngling.
"Yeah we had lots of fun Sides hit Sunny in the stomach with a big rock!" Bee chirped excitedly.
"He did, did he?" Optimus chuckled wiping a piece of mud off of Bumblebee's faceplate.
"Yeah he did" Sunstreaker pointed to the dent on his stomach and whacked his brother.
"Ow!… well imma hit the berth" Sideswipe said hopping off the couch as his brother followed.
"Yeah me to" Jazz Wheeljack, and Bulkhead said walking down the into there rooms.
"we better do the same hey Mirage" Arcee asked knocking on the half recharging red mechs helm.
"uh yeah" He jumped up and walked to their room.
"NIGHT!" Bee waved.
"Yeah I'm going to pack up now to" Ratchet said as he shut off a few lights and watched Hound and prowl enter their rooms.
"Yeah I think we are to" Prime said looking at the recharging youngling under his arm.
"yeah goodnight you two" Ratchet said walking past the prime with the youngling that entered their room.
"Night Ratchet" prime said as he shut his door and placed a very tired youngling on the berth.
"hey dad guess what?" Bee buzzed half in recharge.
"What Bumblebee?" Prime asked in an amused tone.
"I saw Wave today" Bee beeped quietly as he slipped into recharge.
The prime gasped that Bumblebee remembered the con from long ago.
"WAVE IT WAS WAVE!" Bee jumped out of recharge and scared his father to death.
