Night Club Shootout

It was not very long before Optimus Prime lead the Autobots to Carson City, along with Lennox, Epps and Reno. Ratchet had waited back at the Richards for the answer from Martha Richards and her family. It wasn't before the day was through when he reported to Optimus that he was taking Keller, Rex and now the Richards family back to the base. It was apparent that Theodore and Martha Richards had had their talk and agreed with Keller that it might be safer for all of them to stay at the base for a little while. Ted Richards had some of his work hands stay at the ranch to run things while they were gone.

And of course, they had to leave the giant dog back at the ranch. Ratchet had put up a pretty good argument about there being no room for a huge animal like that.

As for Optimus Prime and the Autobots going to Carson City, it took the rest of the day to get there. And it didn't take very long to find the night club that Cole might have been at. There were a few night clubs in the city but none that was as flashy as The Exotic Desert Rose. Just pulling into the parking lot had all of their attention.

The Exotic Desert Rose was clearly a former warehouse, remodeled with flashing neon lights of red. There was a sign with a rose among the lights with the sillouette of a woman dancing around it. Music was already booming from inside and out and there was a line of men right outside, waiting to go in. But what had everyone's attention was a man sitting on the curb, nursing a bloody nose while the large brawny bouncer was laughing his butt off on the stool right outside the door.

"Whoa! I wonder what happened to that guy." Epps said as he, Lennox, Reno and the Autobots in their human forms approached the door, which was admitting the men inside.

"Why don't we just ask the bouncer at the door?" Reno remarked as he took out his ID from his wallet.

It only took a few minutes for all of them to get to the door, where the bouncer, a really big built black man, was still laughing and watching as the man on the curb let blood drain from his nose. He was having a hard time stop laughing even as he checked the IDs handed to him. "Hey, what happened to that dude?" Epps asked, looking at the man.

The bouncer just snorted another laugh as he glanced at the man in the curb before shaking his head. "That foo' got too feisty with one of the dancers. He thought it was okay yanking her off the stage onto his lap for a lap dance. Too bad our inside bouncer doesn't think so. Totally knocked him around before throwing him out on the street. That's one rule we have here. The dancers can touch you but there won't be any grabbing from the customers." He told them.

The Autobots and the human men looked at one another, almost uneasily before Reno began to smile suspiciously as he took back his ID and stuffed it back into his pocket. "Got a question for you then. Is your inside bouncer a guy or a woman?" He asked.

A sly smile curled on the bouncer's face as he looked directly at him before nodding. "A woman. Watch out for Red, man. You don't want to piss her off. She came here to the Rose to get a job as a dancer but only a week after she started, she proved to be more bouncer material." He laughed. "I've had a great time just watching her kick a bunch of guys' asses just because they got too rough with the dancers. She's a fierce one. Even though I'm a lot bigger than she is, she still could kick my ass." He remarked.

Snorting, Reno looked back at his companions and nodded. "Yup. We found Cole, all right. That could only be her." He remarked before he lead the way into the building.

Once inside, all seven were greeted by blasting music and flashing lights. The music that being played at the moment was Three Days Grace's Animal That I Have Become. The club's inside was very big with lots of chairs and tables surrounding circular stages with long metal poles sticking out of the ground all the way up to the low ceiling. There were exotic dangers already on the stages dancing to the music booming. Men were watching with excitement was they were entertained.

Just glancing at the Autobots, Reno, Lennox and Epps nearly started laughing to see the looks on their faces. All of the Autobots were staring around the crowded room with wide eyes and alarm to see the nature of the women that were dancing on the stages. They were not used to sights like this. Prowl was taking the worst out of it. His eye was starting to twitch as he stared at a pole dancer and everyone was very sure that if they looked outside at the Dodge Charger Police cruiser, its hood would probably be smoking.

"Prowlie." Jazz laughed when he noticed, clapping the man in full black on the back. "Don't even think about what you're seeing, man. Just concentrate on finding Cole Keller. We don't need you glitching out on us."

Prowl blinked several times before he nodded and started to look okay again.

Optimus cleared his throat as he looked around, deciding that advice was better for all of them. "Reno, maybe you should at least explain a little of what a Strip club is. I don't think any of us really understands." He told his human ward.

Reno just smiled and folded his arms as he looked around at all of the Autobots, who were still gawking around the room. "Okay. A Strip Club is where men come to watch exotic dancers express their selves in a kind of…..well, alluring dance. It's all about men's entertainment. They like watching the way that women move to the rhythm of music." He explained.

Slowly nodding Optimus was starting to understand. But he knew that this wasn't going to be easy at all for all of them. He knew that they'd better concentrate on finding Cole Keller instead of paying attention to the way that the exotic dancers were moving. "All right. Let's split up and see if we can find anything on Cole. According the guard outside, she is going by the name of Red. If you find her, let all of us know." He told them.

"Uh, you know what, Optimus." Reno remarked looking off somewhere else. "I don't think we need to look too hard for her. Because there she is."

Everyone looked to where he was pointing at, which a far stage in the corner with a lot of men standing around it. A new song, Muse's Supermassive Black Hole had just came on just as the exotic dancer came onto the stage and began her routine. And everyone but Reno and Ultra Magnus nearly bugged out their eyes to see her.

The exotic dancer was very beautiful with thick red hair spilling down around her in curls and waves. She was wearing a black leather skirt with net nylons and knee high black leather high heel boots with only a black leather bikini top, revealing her creamy skin. A lot of men were cheering and cat calling her as she danced sexily around the pole in the middle of the stage. She ignored them as she continued her routine, swinging around the pole with one heel hooked around it to keep her on.

It was easy to say that everyone in the group had let their jaws drop wide open, and eventually it had Reno laughing when he glanced around at all of them. Even the Autobots were staring with wide eyes and jaws open wide.

"Damn! That is one fine lady!" Epps finally perked up as he shook his head after hearing Reno laughing.

Lennox cleared his throat and shook his head as if he was shaking himself out of his stupor. He looked around at the Autobots, were who were still gawking, minus Ultra Magnus. The Autobot Commander seemed to be the only one who didn't care for how sexy that Cole Keller looked. "Um, we should probably get her attention and see if she will talk to us." Lennox suggested.

Clearing his throat and rubbing his somewhat reddening neck, Optimus nodded as he looked around at his Autobots. Jazz had to shake Prowl to get him to stop twitching his eyes. "Yes. That's the best suggestion." The Autobot Leader stated as he already started after Reno as he took the lead.

The entire group stood near the stage, watching as Cole danced around the pole, not even paying attention to her audience. She seemed to only be concentrating on her job. She was quite a good exotic dancer as it was. She grabbed a hold of the pole once she stopped swinging around it and flipped upside down, using her strength to hold on to it. For an added affect, she did a split in the air before letting herself flip back down to her feet.

"Hey! Hey, baby! Give it to me baby! I wanna see your tits!"

The men and the Autobots frowned and glanced to the side to see who was yelling such crude words and they spotted a biker looking fellow standing nearest to the stage. He was howling with four other bikers, high-fiving them and continuing the crude calls.

"Hey! Baby! Take it all off! Let's see what you really look like under those clothes!" The biker called again.

Frowning almost darkly, Reno shook his head and folded his arms as he watched the crude biker continue his rude comments towards Cole. "That guy better shut up or Cole's going to kick his face in." He muttered for only Lennox, Epps and the Autobots to hear.

Of course, the biker kept it up before he reaching out and tried to grab Cole's leg as she swung around the pole, still dancing in such a sexy and exotic way. "Hey! I'll give you money if you give me a lap dance without those clothes on…" He was saying.

But of course, Cole didn't seem to like be touched. Her face had already been darkening as she heard the biker's crude words but she had chosen to ignore them. But she would not ignore the fact that someone just grabbed her leg. She shot the biker the darkest look before she lashed out a foot and kicked the man's hand hard, causing him to yowl in pain.

"OW! What the fuck! You stupid bitch!" The biker snarled before he lashed out and grabbed a handful of Cole's nylons, trying to yank her towards the edge of the stage.

Glaring fiercely at him, Cole stopped dancing and turned to give him another kick, more like aiming for his face. But before she could even manage to kick the biker in the face, a strong hand lashed out and grabbed the biker's wrist, squeezing only hard enough to make him let go of her.

Surprised, the biker swung around to glare at who was interfering only to be freeze when he found himself looking into the cold blue eyes of the tall and powerfully built human form of Ultra Magnus. He couldn't help but cringe back, yanking his hand back out of the Autobot Commander's grip.

Of course, even Cole finally noticed him and looked down at him in surprise.

But Ultra Magnus paid her no attention as he glared directly at the biker, letting his hand drop to his side. "I suggest you leave right now. I won't have you attempting to harm her, even though she's well manageable of defending herself." He said very coldly.

"What the hell?" The biker snarled before looking around at all of his companions who stood up and started to back him up. "Who the hell do you think you are? Can't you see that we're just trying to have fun?"

Ultra Magnus just narrowed his eyes dangerously before tilting his head to look at Optimus' hand when he dropped it onto his shoulder. Every one of the Autobots and the three human men had stepped forward to back up the Autobot Commander to glare at all of the bikers. "Gentlemen, if you are wise, you won't mess around with this one. And I don't mean him." Reno said, tossing a thumb towards Ultra Magnus. He folded his arms across his chest. "The lady can wipe your face all over the floor without breaking out a sweat."

"Hick, you and your punk friends better back off or….!" The biker started warning.

Prowl moved forward, pulling back his black jacket and revealed the police badge he was carrying on him. "Or you'll what?" He asked way too seriously.

The bikers eyed the police badge with surprise before they began to back away. They might have just been rough and gruff bikers, but even they knew better than to mess around with a cop. The head biker looked like he wanted to keep on fighting but his companions were grabbing his arms and started to drag him towards the exit.

"Forgive him, Officer. We're just leaving." One remarked before slapping the arguing biker's head when he tried to protest. "Shut up, man! You want to end up in the can for the night?"

Prowl, of course, just had to frown and glance around while everyone else was glaring after the bikers. "What do they mean they will end up in a can?" He asked.

Snorting, all of the Autobots and the three humans glanced at him before shaking hteir heads. They really didn't want to explain it to Prowl right now. "Don't worry about it, Prowlie. It's just a human saying for brig." Jazz said laughing, patting the Autobot Security Chief on the back. And then he turned with everyone to look at Cole.

And that's when Cole Keller lashed out and punched Reno Banes right in the face, sending him sprawling backwards into the crowd of men, who were all laughing. "You son of a bitch, Reno Banes! What the hell are you doing here?" She snapped, glaring at him.

Everyone froze with alarm, though Optimus was already hurrying over to Reno's aid, helping him get set back on his feet.

Groaning and chuckling, Reno rubbed his now sore chin as he looked at the extremely pissed off looking red haired beauty, who looked ready to swing at him again. "Hi, Cole. It's nice to see you too. It's been nearly fourteen years since we last met. I'm glad to see that your right hook hasn't changed much." He said a little sarcastically.

Cole just glared harder at him before she moved forward to lash out at him again. She didn't get too far because Ultra Magnus swung an arm to block her off and hold her back. So she decided to ignore Reno and shot the Autobot Commander a dark look next. "And you! What are you doing here?" She demanded, her gaze shifting from Ultra Magnus to Prowl, remembering the Security Chief just as well.

Ultra Magnus didn't look a bit fazed as he folded his arms across his chest and looked her square in the eye. He looked as if daring her to swing at him next, even though it wouldn't do much to him at all. He could have easily evaded it, being a holographic image more than anything else. "Looking for you, Agent Cole. We had a run in with the Department. They came after some of our human allies because one of their friends were caught snooping around. One of the files that the kid found was on you. It had your full name, your relations with Secretary John Keller and we found out from your femme creator, mother, where we could find you." He tilted his head to the side. "We also go the impression that you made a call to Rex's family in Alabama. Why? Are you looking for him?" He asked her.

Almost glaring at him, Cole shook her head as she thought about his questions. "I was checking on him. I was just trying to find out if he was safe or not. I talked with his uncle, asked him where I could find him. He wouldn't tell me because I wouldn't tell him who I was. But he did tell me that he was safe and that was that." She said, almost grumpily. "Now, why are you here? How did you even find out who I really was?"

Ultra Magnus didn't reply but looked right back at her. But Optimus stepped forward, trying to smile warmly at her. She did not return it. "Cole Keller, I am Optimus Prime. We found out who you were due to a young human hacker who was snooping around on Department files. He had a file on you and it said your name. Plus, we simply had to ask your father about you. He told us that you were suppose to be deceased but with confirmation from your mother, Martha Keller Richards, we found you just fine." He said calmly.

Narrowing her eyes at him, Cole folded her arms and shook her head. "John Keller might have helped concieve me, but he is not my father. He stopped being my father when he even started politics." She said very coldly. "Now, what do you want with me? Why did you track me all the way here?"

"We want to help you stop running from the Department, Cole." Reno said, still rubbing his aching jaw.

Shooting him a look, Cole jabbed a finger in his direction. "You do not talk to me, Reno! I don't want to hear a word from you! You!" She jabbed her finger right into Ultra Magnus' chest, who glowered at her. "Where is the kid? He better not be here! He has no business…!" She was nearly yelling at him.

"Rex is not here." Magnus cut her off, glowering at her. "I would never bring him to the likes as this place. He's safe back at home, with Robert's wife. Whom is his foster father and mother."

Cole glanced over at Epps who spared a grin and a wave at her before shrugging. She chose to ignore him before looking back at Magnus again. She looked as if she was considering her next words carefully so not to say anything that she might regret.

But before she could, Magnus held up a hand. "Where's Agent Sean?" He suddenly asked.

In all honesty, Cole looked as if she had just been slapped. She flinched away from the large brawny Autobot, looking at him in surprise before she looked away, her face starting to twist with pain. She didn't look like she dared to look Magnus in the eye. But all she could do was shake her head. "The Department Agents got him." She said very quietly. "He gave himself up to Freddricks, whom you should remember well, just so that I could escape."

Frowning, Magnus looked at her with dry surprise before he heaved a sigh and unfolded his arms, letting them fall to his side. He stood there for a moment before glancing at Optimus as if he had said something to his older brother. The older Autobot just nodded before looking back at Cole. "Agent Cole, will you please come with us? We can protect you from them. And we could use your help stopping them. And perhaps we save your partner again." He said quietly.

"Sean is dead!" Cole said almost harshly, looking up at the Autobot Commander with a dark look. "There is no saving him again! There is no way that Freddricks would have taken him alive again! Not after everything we did to keep him and the Department away from the kid! And tell me why should I help you? Why would I want to take down the Department?" She asked coldly.

"So you can stop running and hiding from them." Lennox spoke up before any one else could. He got quite the surprised look from Cole, as well. But he chose to ignore it as he shook his head, looking directly into her eyes. "Because you can help us take them down and stop them from trying to hurt more innocent people. And it would definitely give you a chance to avenge your partner if he really is dead."

For a moment, Cole didn't say anything as she looked directly at him. But then she narrowed her eyes and looked very sour. "Well, try telling them that then." She said nodding away from the three men and four Autobots.

Frowning, everyone slowly turned to see where she had just nodded to and noticed that there were six men in suits now walking into the club. They hadn't noticed them or Cole yet, but they were looking around as if they were enjoying the view of exotic dancers on the stages. Ultra Magnus recognized one of the Department Agents immediately.

Agent Freddricks.

It only took the Department Agents a moment to look around and see Cole as she stood in the middle of several men. Freddricks seemed to freeze for a moment before he sneered and headed straight for them. He didn't seem to have recognized Ultra Magnus or Prowl, though. He barely even noticed them as he just stared directly at the glaring Cole. "Well, well, well. Agent Cole, your sure looking fine tonight. I never pictured you as the stripper type. But I gotta say, I'm liking the view." He said, grinning as he looked her over.

Cole's face hardened and she gritted her teeth before starting to step towards Freddricks. She didn't get too far because Magnus rose an arm and blocked her off from going to start a fight with Freddricks. He was giving the Department Agents quite the dark look, not happy to be dealing with them again.

However, the moment that the Autobot Commander had moved, Freddricks frowned and looked at him. He stared at Magnus for a moment, looking confused. It was like he recognized him but he couldn't place his identity. But after only but a moment, his eyes slowly widened with realization and horror and he stepped back, causing his fellow Agents to tense up. "Oh, shit!" He swore loudly, now wrenching his black suit jacket open and reaching for his gun. "It's Him! He's the One from Montana!"

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Prowl warned, now pulling back his own jacket to reveal his police badge. "There are too many people in this building and someone could get hurt."

But of course, the Department Agents didn't seem to care as Freddricks was the first to yank out his gun and aim straight at Ultra Magnus. He pulled the trigger without any hesitation and there was a violent spark as the Autobot Commander flinched once before glaring at the D-Agents with brightly glowing blue eyes. It was very clear that the bullet had passed right through his holographic imager and slammed into the wall right behind him. All four humans; Cole, Reno, Lennox and Epps had flinched and backed away from the Autobot Commander as if they knew what would happen next.

"Big mistake." Growled Ultra Magnus before he flickered right out of view.

"Oh, Primus!" Optimus groaned before he too quickly flickered out of view, probably to stop his older brother from doing anything he might regret later.

Again, of course, that didn't stop the Department Agents from firing off their guns at the Autobots and towards Cole, who had grabbed Reno's arm and literately tossed him behind a stage before shoving Lennox and Epps behind another one as she barrel rolled across the ground. They were lucky enough to have missed being hit by the flying bullets.

Still, the damage was done.

As soon as the firing began, exotic dancers began screaming and men began diving in all directions to avoid getting shot. They were running away from where the shooting was being taken place. The Department Agents tried to shoot at Jazz, Prowl and even at where Cole was hiding with Lennox and Epps. Gunfire ripped through the air even as the remaining two Autobots flickered out of view.

Suddenly, the entire building shook violently before the roof was ripped right off, revealing a pair of vicious blue eyes, that were flickering from blue to red. It was not hard to make out Ultra Magnus as he glared down at the startled six Department Agents, who quickly rose their guns and started firing at him. The bullets bounced right off of the Autobot Commander's armor, richocheting elsewhere. He practically snarled at them as he rose an arm and aimed his large cannon right at them.

"Ultra Magnus!" Optimus Prime yelled from somewhere behind him. "Do not fire on the humans!"

"I got 'em! Mags, step back, mech! I'll take their guns away!" Jazz yelled as he bound over to the building and thrust his arm over the building's roof.

There was a vibrating noise in the air before the guns were ripped right out of the six D-Agents' hands, slamming right into Jazz's claws. With them being unarmed, Freddricks and the Agents quickly rose their hands and attempted to back peddle away from the extremely pissed off looking Ultra Magnus.

"Lennox! Epps! Reno!" Optimus shouted as he appeared right beside his older brother, grabbing a hold of his shoulder and trying to pry him away from the ruined night club. "Hurry! Come outside! We should leave before this gets out of control!"

Lennox, Epps and Reno quickly stood, already racing towards the door. Reno, however, paused to look at Cole as she jumped up and rushed right over to Freddricks, tackling him around the stomach and throwing him to the ground. She was already throwing punches right into his face, even as he grunted when they hit the ground. He yelled loudly in pain and anger as she continued to punch him.

"Where is he?" Cole screamed into Freddricks' face before punching him and drawing blood right out of his mouth. "Where is Sean? What did you do to him, you son of a bitch?"

Glaring up at her, Freddricks lashed out a hand and grabbed her around the throat while kicking one let up and knocking her right over his head. He quickly followed her and sat right on her stomach, wrenching back a fist to punch her right back. He didn't seem surprised to see the glaring defiance in her eyes as she looked up at him. He had always known that she was a tough one and she could take a hit pretty well. "Don't worry about your boyfriend, bitch! You'll be joining him soon enough!" He yelled before starting to throw his fist.

But, again, a body hit him hard throwing him right off of Cole and to the ground.

Cole, startled, quickly jerked her body to her side and pushed herself up to see that it had been Reno who tackled Freddricks and was now having his chance of punching the Department Agent in the face, nearly knocking him out before he was on his feet again. He ignored the groaning Agent as he jerked around and grabbed Cole's arm, pulling her too her feet. "Come on, Cole! Let's get out of here!" He yelled, pulling her towards the door.

Of course, it didn't settle too well on Cole's part that Reno, of all people, had grabbed her and was dragging her towards the door. She gritted her teeth and yanked her hand right out of his grip, startling him. "Don't touch me, Banes! I still have questions for that….!" She was saying as she spun around to march right back over to Freddricks.

But she didn't get too far.

A large hand swooped down from above and wrapped around her, startling her so bad that she seemed to have lost her knack of communication for a moment until she looked up to see that it was Ultra Magnus who had just grabbed her. She balled up her fists and began pounding on his metal fingers as he lift her right up and out of the Night Club. "Hey! Let go of me! Put me down right now!" She screamed at him.

"Oh, shut it! We're getting out of here!" Ultra Magnus growled at her as he began to transform before stuffing her into his cab as he finished. He really had to block out her screaming, though as she began yelling obscenities at him.

All of the Autobots were quickly transformed back into their vehicle forms, throwing their doors open to let Lennox and Epps jump into Prowl and Jazz. Optimus was waiting as Reno came running out of the ruined building, racing directly for him.

But as soon as he was even half way to the Autobot Leader, the Department Agents were out the door, yanking out another gun they must have had hidden somewhere on their person. Freddricks, of course, was in the lead, with blood trailing down his face from his bleeding nose and mouth after the abuse he had just gotten from Cole and Reno. He raised his secondary gun right after Reno and fired it.

Luckly for Reno, the bullet merely grazed his arm. But it didn't mean it didn't hurt. He yelled out in pain, sliding to a stop and slapping a hand on the now bleeding graze just on his bicep. He had to jerk around to glare at Freddricks as he was preparing to fire at him again, possibly for a killing shot this time.

But of course, Optimus Prime would not have it that his human ward being hurt.

His engine revving very loudly, the Autobot Leader hit his gas pedal and charged forward until he was in between Reno and the Department Agents. He took that time to let out a very loud, angry blow of his horn, causing all of the Department Agents to flinch and drop their guns so that they could cover their ears.

It was then headlights came out of no where as a loud revving engine came roaring into the Night Club parking lot. Tires squealed across the pavement as a car came roaring right up to where the minor fight was happening.

And everyone had to do a double take to make sure that it wasn't a pissed off Prowl that was speeding right for the Department Agents, slamming on his brakes as he came inches from hitting the six men, who yelled out in terror and scampered across the black pavement.

None of the humans or the Autobots had expected to see that Saleen Mustang come out of no where to their aid, so they were all quite shocked and speechless.

Even as the Mustang clicked and seemed to explode into his transforming into his real form. Violent scarlet eyes glared down at the six Department Agents as they cowered under his cannons trained right on them, staring up at him with shock and fear. They were practically lying right on the ground, looking up at the Decepticon as he glared down at them, ignoring the sounds of more tires squealing and chains clinking loudly as a large tow truck joined him. It was quick to transforming and joining him to point his cannons at the six.

Of course, every one of the Autobots and the four humans with them stared at the two Decepticons with alarm.

And since he was the only one that did not have a passenger at the moment, Optimus Prime was quick to transforming, standing over Reno, the six Department Agents and the two Decepticons. He spun his arm until it transformed into his cannon and pointed it right at Barricade and Groundhog.

The two Decepticons didn't seemed fazed getting a cannon pointed at them. They just shot the Autobot Leader a glare but held their fire on the humans. Barricade had to hold up one hand to get him not to fire on them though. "Hold your fire, Prime!" He growled, his voice grinding as if he was injured. And now that every one did get a double look at the two Decepticons, they realized that the two were actually rather beaten up. Their armor was a little dented and bent as if they had just been in a battle, their selves.

"We're not here to cause trouble!" Groundhog added, letting his cannons spin back into his arm before he raised his hands in surrender for the both of them. "We're here to assist you!"

Optimus frowned but held his fire as he lift his cannons only a fraction so that he wasn't pointing directly at them. But there was no way he was going to put it away. Not until he knew that the two Decepticons weren't there to start a fight. "Barricade, Groundhog, why are you here? What do you mean you're here to assist us?" He asked, rightfully confused.

Barricade kept his cannons trained on the six Department Agents as they were finding some courage to stand up and look wide eyed between the three metal giants. They weren't sure what to do with this situation at all. "We've been scouring this fragging city, looking for you, Prime!" snarled the Decepticon Police cruiser. "We've got a problem! And it deals with you too! Starscream's hurt really bad and we're in need of your Medical Chief Officer's skills to fix him!"

Stiffening, Optimus finally decided to lower his cannon a little more, looking at the pair of Decepticons with confusion. "What? What do you mean….?" He asked, confused.

"We mean, Starscream is in forced recharge because that pit forsaken Megatron, who is not Megatron any more beat him so bad that he nearly knocked his Spark Chamber right out of his chest!" Barricade snarled again, snapping his cannons away and not caring for the Department Agents any more. "Megatron is dead! He never came back as Megatron! He was a pit sucking Minicon all along! His name is Galvatron now!" He snapped.
