A/n: Takes place some time after the episode "Roll For It". From now on, most of the stories will take place on Earth

Featuring: Thundercracker

------------------------------------------

If the Decepticons were good at something, it was studying their enemies in order to find any sort of weakness that they could use to their advantage. It was no coincidence that Soundwave had so many cassetticons at his disposal, able to observe and record every Autobots' movement, stance and fighting technique. So, when Soundwave showed Megatron the recordings of a particular battle that occurred while the Decepticon leader was considered dead, Megatron deemed that he had found an officer vulnerable enough to capture.

After all, by Megatron's logic, it would take a pretty pathetic Autobot to become defenceless by a single blast and then need a flesh creature's help to fight.

At least, that was how much Prowl could guess as he swerved abruptly to the left to avoid Thundercracker's rays. Moreover, the Decepticon must have been following him for quite a while, for he chose to attack as soon as Jazz drove away and let Prowl to continue the patrol on his own.

"You can run, but you can't hide, Autobot!" the Seeker declared, still firing at the police-car.

"You would be surprised at what I can do," Prowl retorted and he swerved again. He just needed a few more seconds to calculate the right angle and Thundercracker's position…"Especially when my battle computer isn't crashed!"

Thundercracker realised his mistake too late. As Prowl veered to his right, his metal roof reflected the sunlight directly to the Seeker's optic sensors, blinding him. Before the jet had any time to recover, Prowl had already transformed to his robot mode and launched himself upwards, managing a direct uppercut on the jet's nose. Thundercracker tried to reset his stabiliser at that hit, but it wasn't possible. He crashed onto the ground, knocking himself out on impact.

Prowl landed on the ground with experienced ease, thus completing his leap, and assessed the outcome of the battle.

Victory: Flawless.

Allowing himself the luxury of a triumphant grin, Prowl transformed and continued on with his patrol.

A/n: Thundercracker wasn't harmed during the making of this story (well, okay, maybe a little...)

For the record, there's also a vid of Prowl kicking some ass, except he takes on Soundwave. Here's the link: http:// www. youtube. com/ watch?v = 6oi6pYJxLd8 (Just copy and paste, then delete the spaces. If it doesn't work, then just look it up using "Prowl Vs Soundwave" in the search button.)

And make sure you check the other guy's vids as well. They're brilliant. :)
