Sam was shocked at the damage, if the shot had missed then he could have scrapped any bot in his firing line. "sam will you deploy your guns again?" there was something in Ironhide voice when he asked like he was curious about the weapons, once again the guns deployed and rested on Sam's shoulders, "interesting" murmured Ironhide as he examined the guns and their connections the weapons specialist gently took hold of thick flexible tube that connected to the back of one of the guns his hand followed it until it disappeared into Sam's back, Ironhide placed a finger on a spot in the middle of the new Autobots back and asked "sam please open your armor at this point", Sam focused hard on Ironhide's request at first he got the same error message as before, willing his body to open he thought of how he needed this checking out and how only the weapons specialist was able to do it, very slowly a few plates shifted they moved just enough for Ironhide to take a look inside, "that's interesting" as soon as Hide had spoken the plates snapped shut with enough force to remove any intruding fingers.
"what is it?" Sam asked, "you have a compressed energy weapon system I've never seen one this compact, there were a few bot's on cybertron in the old days with systems like this but they were always on the large side, normally this kind of weapon as very long and heavy as the parts have to be made very thick in order to withstand the pressure, but yours are much lighter and the main compression tank is connected to the weapon apertures by these tubes, I don't understand how they can work without exploding" Ironhide walked round so that he could examine the front of the weapons system, "we could never do this on cybertron, I heard of bots who tried to make this type of weapon smaller but none ever managed it, your going to need special training with these their ability to punch a hole through just about anything makes them very dangerous".
Great this was all he needed, his shoulder guns were so dangerous they even had Ironhide worried and that was no easy feat, "what kind of training?" Sam asked worriedly, at first the weapon specialist did not answer then he shifted and said "sorry sam I was asking ratchet how you could fire your guns with out blowing up, when he told me that you were made out of the same metal of the allspark it made sense, as for your question you need to learn how to calibrate your guns so they wont fire to far when you use them the last thing you want is to blow holes through your enemy and the buildings behind" as Ironhide said this he pointed to the still smoking holes in the target and the wall behind it, "I better get started on a new range this time as close to the beach as possible so there wont be any accidents, but before that I want to see what other weapons you have to play with" there was a happiness in his voice as the weapon specialist said the last few words, truly there were few things that Hide loved more than a good weapons test.
As everybody gave him plenty of room Sam switched his weapons system to close combat mode, he hoped that this system was something he could handle easily, as the guns retracted plates shifted in his right arm and a sword shot forward, it rested over the back of his hand and extended a good six to eight feet beyond his finger tips, at least this looked easy to use just stick the sharp end in anything you didn't like. Sam looked at Ironhide and the weapon specialist nodded back at him, Sam rushed one of the last targets and sliced in two as the blade glowed red hot, "this is very easy" he thought as he brought his arm back for another attack on what was left of the target. Just as he had raised his hand back behind his head for the next attack the air was filled with a clicking sound this was followed by something that sounded like a cable unwinding, Sam had barely noticed the noise as he made his attack, it was only when he saw that his blade had split into some kind of whip did he realize that things had gotten more compacted. This new weapon wrapped it's self round the target before glowing red hot, as Sam pulled back it cut deeper and deeper into what remained of the target before slicing it in half, as the weapon broke free it's tip caught against another target leaving a deep score mark, Sam stopped moving as soon as this new weapon was free from the target, now that his arm was still the weapon stopped glowing it looked like a snake as it lay across the floor.
Sam looked at it, in this form his close combat weapon looked more dangerous, it was like a whip but with parts of the blade attached at regular intervals, a winding noise filled the air as the weapon retracted into it's blade form. Sam looked at it like it would bite him if he dropped his guard how had something so simple become so complicated in a matter of seconds he had gone from a basic sword to this thing and now he had no idea on how to control it, the blade highlighted in his vision and the weapon icon flashed an information box appeared and details on the weapon filled it, according to what he saw this thing was called a snake sword, it could change from a standard sword to a whip in any time he wanted all he had to do was think and it would change, this gave him two sets of distance when in close combat fighting meaning that an enemy would have double the threat to deal with when fighting him, this was all well and good but it gave him no information on how exactly how he was supposed to use it with out causing damage to him self or others on his side.
Ironhide however had the answer, "well sam it looks like your going to have close combat training with both optimus and jolt, I'll give you one thing your going to make one unique autobot", the weapon specialist was loving this it had been a long time since he had seen such an interesting weapon and even longer since he had been able to study it up close, this one had the best quality's of both Optimus's and Jolt's close combat styles it would make any con think twice about battling Sam and given his ranged ability's there would be few willing to fight him at all let alone be able to beat him, given the right training of course, the way Sam was looking at his new weapon told Ironhide that he had a long way to go in mastering it. "so what shall we call your new weapon sam?" asked Ratchet, "it's called a snake sword" said Mikaela, Sam looked at her, from his body language she could tell that he was about to ask how she new, "it's easy sam, it's from a video game, yours looks just like it except for the glowing red-hot part that is" Mikaela just smiled as Sam tried to work out how he had missed this, he had seen this thing so many times in game shops, on posters and in adverts, this was Ivy's snake sword made real, couldn't he come up with any original weapons of his own.
This was all knocked to one side however when he felt Bumblebee approaching, his spark danced with joy as his lover got closer and soon the sound of Bee's engine echoed around them, the yellow camaro slowed as he drew close, the passenger door opened and Will got out he smiled and asked "hay sam how you doing?", "great besides having weapon systems I can't control" the sarcasm in Sam's reply was missed by no-one, only Bumblebee knew that he was really afraid and this was a cover to protect himself. Bee opened his comlink to Sam and said "don't worry you'll get the hang of them I know it, I'll help you any way I can", his lover then commed back "thanks bee, it's just having built in weapons is a little frighting and I don't want to hurt anyone, especially you", "you wont sam you'll learn to control it I promise". Hearing this made Sam feel better it was the way Bee said it, there was no doubt in his voice at all he believed the words with all his spark and that strength helped chase away Sam's fears a little.
After there little com session Bee transformed, "I have a surprise for you sam I found the perfect alt mode for you" Bumblebee's voice was filled with excitement that made him sound like a little boy on Christmas morning, "which one is it?" Sam asked feeling the joy coming form his lover, "there isn't one here on base" Will said "and if I try to get one then it'll raise to many red flags in D.C so bee is going to make an avatar version for you", "absolutely not!!" Ratchet yelled "do you know how much power that will take, making an avatar that's almost your size could drain you badly", Bee answered this by saying "this is the only way, there are no other cars that I think of that will work for sam, I've worked out the energy requirements and I can do this with out harming my self", before Ratchet could answer Bumblebee commed him "I know what I'm doing ratchet, this is my choice and if you cant stay out of this or help then kindly (cybertronian language unfit for human ears)", all Ratchet could do was put his face to his hand and shake his head in response to the message.
"don't do this bee, not if your going to hurt your self I'd rather not have an alt form if it meant keeping you safe" Sam was worried he knew how much Bee would risk to make him happy if only for a moment, "trust me sam" was Bumblebee's only answer, the yellow Autobot got down into a position that looked like he was meditating his legs were folded and his hands rested on his feet. Very slowly light's drifted away from his body, Sam now knew that they were nano particles used in making an Avatar more and more gathered into a swirling mass in-front of his lover they danced and twisted in ever changing patterns. As beautiful as it was to watch Sam needed to get ready he wanted Bee to use as little energy doing this as possible that meant it had to be done as fast as possible, turning his attention form the display of lights he looked across the icons and found one of a robot changing into a car, it flashed just as the others had then a message came up on screen "transformation setup starting please wait", then a new message replaced it "please select target to be scanned", all he could do now was watch and wait.
Finally enough nano particles had gathered for this to work, Bumblebee went through the data he had and slowly the a particles started moving into a set pattern a metal frame formed, it hovered in the air as if supported by invisible wheels, then the parts of the car started to take shape, first the engine, unlike Bee's alt it was mounted in the back, then more parts joined it breaks, steering, one by one the parts of the car built them selves, nothing was missed, every detail, every screw, every wire, the process was strangely mesmerizing to all watching it, this Avatar was growing out of thin air becoming more solid and corporeal with every passing second, finally the the outer panels formed and the car was complete, to Sam it was a thing of beauty not just because of it's shape but because Bumblebee had chosen it just for him, in the moment he almost forgot to scan it, a blue light flashed across the Avatar and his system read it as a normal car not a creation of nano particles and energy, a message appeared "scan accepted, beginning transformation".
Bee had detected that the Avatar had been scanned and he let the thing fall apart relaxing from the strain, this had been way harder than making a human form and he felt a little drained like he had been in combat but it had been worth it, Sam was transforming for the first time. This was the strangest thing yet, Sam could feel his body folding in on it's self in places and stretching out in others, his armor shifted of it's own accord he could feel part's of it changing their form from metal to other substances that would look like the parts found on an earth car, though the process lasted only seconds Sam could feel almost every part of his body change even his face was shifting and he had no control over it. Finally his body settled onto it's wheels the feeling was strange he could feel the ground beneath him but it was different from how it had felt as either a human or a robot, it was like he was standing on tiptoe as only part of his tires touch the ground at any one time and his vision had changed as well it was a more wide angle view than before and strangely he could tell where objects were next to him, this of course was not as strange as the fact that he now seemed to have optics facing backwards as well as forwards so that he could see behind as well as in-front, "bee are you ok" his voice came out through his radio, this time it sounded more like his human voice than anything had done so far. Bumblebee was tired the process had taken more out of him than he thought it would, as the last of the dancing lights had rejoined his body and he got up and walked over to Sam's alt, his lover had done it there before him instead of an Autobot robot form was an Autobot alt form, Sam's Bugatti Veyron alt mode stood there it's ebony and gold paint work shone in the sunlight like it had just come from the factory, to Bumblebee Sam's alt looked even more beautiful than he had imagined it could ever be.
hi thanks for reading if you want to know why i chose this car for Sam's alt then go to youtube and type in bugatti veyron top gear and choose the speed test, seeing the car move like that made my decision for me
