A/N Before we get into today's story, I would like to say thanks to everyone who is enjoying the story and checking in for every following update. I am planning a few Webtoons with this idea, I have nothing set in stone as I am the only one doing it, I have no artist or other help so it may take some time.
Here is a link to my Deviantart page(if it doesn't work look up IceEmperor26)

It has all of the transformers sketches I have made thus far; hope you love them.
"So, tell me about yourself, Sam." Mr. Sumdac said.
"Oh well I uh, I see myself as a very hard worker…and um, although I um….not a genius, I could do whatever job you give me very efficiently." Sam said.
"Hmm, I see. Do you know what we do here?" Mr. Sumdac asked.
"Oh um, well I know that you aim to make the planet more advance, with all of the technology you are making….like um that over there." Sam points to a robot who was using a vacuum to clean the office, it turns to Sam and waves. "Your company is aiming to make old things obsolete, so things like that would be able to be in every homes."
"Correct. Here at Sumdac systems, we are here to move the world alone, advance all sorts of technology. We are not here to make technology meant for military combat, just technology that will send all of humanity into the future." Sumdac said.
"How….h-how would this deal with my job?" Sam asked.
"I believe in giving people a chance, and when I first saw your application, I was thinking of tasks you could do." Sumdac said. "And knowing that most of my workforce is either adults or very gifted college students, I wanted to branch out more, and give you a janitor and entertainment role."
"Okay." Sam said, trying to hide his excitement. "But um. What do you mean by entertainment role? Like a clown or something?"
"Not exactly. You see, I have a daughter, and it's hard to keep her entertained for so long, and she has a hard time making friends, so I was wondering if along with cleaning a few places, you can possibly entertain her." Sumdac said.
"I um….I possibly can." Sam told Sumdac. "But maybe I can suggest a friend who could help me out whenever he can? He already has a job, but he's way, and I mean way, way better at taking care of kids than me, one time I saw him keep a baby entertained with the same method for three hours straight, do you know how easy it is for a baby to get distracted?"
"Quite, so, you're saying your friend may be able to help you, watch my daughter?" Sumdac said and Sam nods. "Well, it would be good for her to have two people to hang out with rather than one, whenever he can come, he will get paid."
"Sweet! I get to have a car in no time!" Sam shouted.
"But question, what is the name of the friend you are talking about?" Sumdac asked, Sam only smirks.

"So, you're saying this kid named Sam has the glasses we need…..and he's selling them on eBay?" Arcee asked placing her hands on her hips. Stinger only snickered while leaning against a wall.
"That makes this easier, let's just create an account and have him bring it to us, what is he going to do when he sees us walking to him? Fight back?" Stinger asked.
"How does eBay work exactly?" Bumblebee asked.
"You order it….like I just said. It's not a hard concept to grasp" Stinger said, Bumblebee simply sighs internally.
"Anyways, it seems like we can get the glasses easier than we're attempting to do." Bumblebee said.
"Optimus believes it would be best if we get the human. The Decepticons will try anything to get to him, and when they do, they will end up killing him." Ratchet said. Ratchet opens the ground bridge as two new Autobots walked through, one of them was a few inches taller than Bumblebee, closer to Stinger height, her armor color was silver, she had dark skin, short black hair, and a cyan visor that functioned as glasses, the other had red armor, a little taller than Bumblebee as well, she had horns, long red hair, and was seemingly more bottom-heavy, Stinger glanced at the two, a smirk grew on his face as they walked into the base.
"What's popping doc?" The silver one asked as she walked up to Ratchet.
"We're waiting for Optimus; she wants to give us a rundown on what's currently going on and how we should all address it?" Ratchet said.
"Cool, so we're finally about to do more than small scavenger hunts." Jazz said as she stretched.
"Well, I would hardly call what y'all did a scavenger hunt Jazz," Ratchet said.
"Searching for energon is a scavenger hunt." The red bot replied, she then noticed Stinger. "Who is she, and why is she so….um….flat?"
"Here we go again." Stinger muttered, he then stopped leaning against the wall. "The names Stinger."
"What is he exactly?" The red bot asked Arcee.
"Why do you let him explain, I'm sure you might get a good laugh from it." Arcee said.
"Well, basically I'm an S model, better than that one." Stinger points to Bumblebee who subtly glared at him. "In almost every way,"
Cliffjumper tried to not snicker, but she did crack up a few times.
"Woah, pretty big assumption there." Jazz said. "Besides that, it ain't cool to compare yourself to another bot like that, especially a teammate. Might make them feel some type of way."
"Well in the police bot eyes I'm just a squatter." Stinger said as he leans back against the wall. "And what's the harm?"
Jazz was about to respond, but Optimus walked into the base, all of the other Autobots turn around standing in attention when Prime walked in, Stinger didn't move, still leaning against the wall. Prowl walked into the room standing beside the other Autobots.
"Autobots, it has come to my attention that the Allspark is indeed on this planet. Along with the Allspark being here Megatron is also here, hidden on this planet by the humans." Optimus said. "The humans do not know how deadly that combination is, our objective now is to find the human known as Sam Witwicky who has the pair of glasses, we need to find the Allspark, once we get the Allspark we will need to keep it from Megatron. Bumblebee, you will head out and keep a close eye on the human, find some way to get close enough to him a reveal yourself. Stinger, you will work alongside Bumblebee. You will make sure no Decepticon gets too close to her and interfere with what she is doing."
"Optimus, with all, do respect, don't you think a more qualified Autobot should take the place of Stinger?" Prowl asked. "Besides, why trust the outsider with guarding her?"
"Yeah, I have to agree with Prowl on this one, I don't think having those two around each other for so long will be such a good idea, unless someone would be there in the middle," Arcee said.
"I also agree with them." Stinger said, Bumblebee looks at him, she didn't say anything, she wanted to hear why he agrees with the two. "I rather not be left alone or paired with her and only her."
"I believe the two will get the job done, as of now the order stands, I have jobs for the rest of you to do." Optimus told them; she then looks at Stinger. "If you for some reason feel…. uneasy around her, maybe you two getting to know each other would lessen your uneasy feeling around her.
Stinger just stares at Optimus, the thought of Bumblebee blowing his head off, calling him a cheap knockoff, and feeding his head to some dinosaur flashed through Stinger's mind.
Stinger simply inhaled and mutters to himself. "Yeah, hanging out with my inferior killer isn't what I would call a nice time." He tried to think of something else they could do that will throw out him being Bumblebee guard of sorts, but he's not sure how the heck that would work, is he just supposed to ram any con that attacks her? Or transform and fight them? "Why though we just use the website and message the boy to meet us somewhere else so we can just take the glasses?"
"We can not let any human see us; Rule one is keeping a low profile?" Prowl told Stinger.
"I doubt they would believe him." Stinger said causally. "Just walk up to him and say your first name is Robbing, the last name you" He chuckled to himself, but noticed the deadpanned stares from most of them.
"Hold on Prime, I think I have a much better idea, but it will involve Stinger and Bee going with the flow of what will happen." Jazz said. Stinger simply raised an eyebrow.
"What is your idea Jazz?" Optimus asked.
"What if we have them pose as cars that he may be able to buy, once he gets either one of them, it may be easier to get the glasses." Jazz said.
"It feels like we're overcomplicating things for a pair of glasses." Stinger said.
"As of now it still stands, You and Bumblebee will work together and get the human before the Decepticons do" Optimus told Stinger. "We have no idea what the Decepticons are planning to do so they may retrieve the glasses, so we should hurry and get them before the Decepticons do."
"Yes ma'am!" All the Autobots said.
"Yeah, whatever." Stinger said.

In Texas, Shatter and Dropkick were driving towards a large group of soldiers, all aiming at them, tanks and military trucks were aiming at the pair as well. Above them, a helicopter and jet fly past them, Shatter scans the jet while Dropkick scans the helicopter.
Starscream plan was simple, get the humans to believe the Decepticons are the good ones, after the incident in Qatar it would be hard to convince them unless they were to try and talk with a more secretive branch of the military. Once they get the humans to believe them, they will want access to every satellite so they may find the boy, Starscream told them Soundwave was doing more important matters so she would not be able to hack one, but she did mention that having the humans believe they are the good ones will ensure one thing. That they will start to hunt the Autobots, making it easier for them to get rid of all of them while finding the boy.
Standing there was Agent Burns, Agent Simons, and Dr. Powell, Burns looks at his gun, taking the safety off, Dr. Powell looks at him.
"The goal, sir, should be to communicate with them" Dr. Powell said, he then smiled as he sighs, very excited to meet them. "First contact with an alien species. I've spent my whole life waiting for this moment."
"If they make one wrong move, we put 'em down. "Burns told them. "After what happened in Qatar, we should not be so trusting of them."
Shatter and Dropkick transforms, the soldiers slightly moved back as they saw the two cars turn into what practically resemble two women with undersuits and armor that's the same color as their cars, however, they did notice the blue one seemed to have helicopter blades, while the red one had wings moving down to her side, Dropkick looks at the humans, then she face her partner.
"The humans are multiplying. Please let me kill them." She whispers.
"Not yet. We need to locate the glasses and or the boy, once we do, we will give Barricade the location, and search for Megatron." Shatter whispers. "I have an idea."
"Listen up! I'm Agent Burns and this is Dr. Powell. We currently have 100 guns pointed right at your head! So, state your business." Burns told them; Shatter then kneels getting on one knee.
"People of Earth, we are Decepticon peacekeepers patrolling the galaxy." Shatter said, Dropkick looks at her raising an eyebrow.
"What are you doing?" She asked, getting a glare from her partner she sighs and gets on one knee." Primus, this is humiliating."
"How can you call yourself peacekeepers, I take it that your buddy didn't tell you about Qatar?" Simons asked.
"Oh, that. If you did not know the base was hiding one of the most dangerous criminals, our teammate was sent to take them out, however, when she got into a fight, they caused the destruction of the base." Shatter said. "But we believe more war criminals from our planet is hiding somewhere here."
"I don't know how you expect us to trust you." Burns said.
"Because these criminals hide in plain sight. While we came here to get your assistance, they are still hiding, and if they get their hands on what we're looking for, your planet is in danger." Shatter said.
"How is it you think we can help?" Dr. Powell asked as he moved in front of Simons, and Burns.
"We need your eyes." Shatter said as she looks up to the sky.
"Wait. You want access to our satellites?" Burns asked.
"Our scanners' range is limited. Your infrastructure is primitive. But combined, they could be quite powerful." Shatter said. "And it would help us in finding off-limit places."
"No way! Out of the question!" Simons shouted. "We can't just up and trust you out of nowhere!"
"We have a common enemy, Agent Simons. There's a war that raged on our planet for two long, resulting in its death. If the war criminals are not found, then your planet will have the same fate."
"Perhaps... We can find a way to help one another. We'll talk it over with our superiors. In the meantime, if you could follow us." Dr. Powell said, both agents just stare at him.
"Very well, friend Powell. Take us to your leader." Shatter said. "And we will introduce our commander, and our other allies, so you may know who you shouldn't attack when the criminals show themselves" as all the soldiers lower their weapons and turn around Dropkick looks at Shatter.
"Do you think this would work." Dropkick asked.
"Of course, it will." Shatter answered with a sharp whisper. "It shouldn't take them too long to agree with us, besides, if this fails Barricade may have found a way to find the boy"

Stinger was sitting alone in one of the rooms, the door opens as Optimus walked inside, Stinger only glanced at her.
"What do you want?" He asked.
"I wanted to address a small issue that I have noticed recently." Optimus said. "It pertains to your…. new behavior."
"My behavior has not changed." Stinger said.
"When first meant you, choosing sides was something you didn't want, then when you first came here, you seemed nervous, like a recruit who wants to do good. Now, you're more brash, arrogant, and…cocky"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Stinger told her.
"What about comparing yourself to Bumblebee, multiple times." Optimus said. "Your comments are starting to get to her."
"Because she's realizing it's true?" Stinger snarked. "It shouldn't bother her if she doesn't believe it, unless she has some inferiority complex, even then, what's the harm?"
"Bumblebee is your teammate, and she at first was interested in you, now with your new attitude things are becoming much more…tense" Optimus said. "Though I have never heard of the S models, I am not sure if they are better than the B models. However, Bumblebee has proven time and time again to be a very good soldier. You could be stronger physically, faster than her, or whatever, you lack the skills and years of experience that she has."
Stinger looks at Optimus, she does have a point, but he was stronger than his world Bee, and he could've had a different past, but that's the thing, he was made to be better than his Bumblebee, this place is more different than where he came from, there's a chance Bumblebee past could have been different. He however sighs and chuckled.
"I'll try my best." Stinger said. "And we won't know who's actually better until we put it to the test"
"Please do, we all need to work together, instead, most of the Autobots do not trust you, some have come around to liking you. To most, you're just a teammate, not a friend." Optimus said. "You should work on changing everyone's thoughts on you. A good place to start is with Bumblebee"
"I don't need any friends." Stinger scoffs and Optimus looks at him.
"How about you just, come and talk to your teammates, show them your weapon and other abilities before you and Bumblebee will head out." Optimus told Stinger who rubbed his chin.
"Eh I dunno, hanging out with bots who don't like me, trying to get them to like me, seems hard and not worth my time, and I'm sure that even if I do, I'll just show them how I am better than-"Stinger stops seeing how Optimus looks at him and he cleared his throat. "Sure, I can maybe, talk to them for a bit…."

Starscream was standing in the dropship looking at some diagrams with a new Decepticon projecting it. This Decepticon had dark blue armor plating, from the looks of it she had multiple sound systems in her, on her arms were long gloves reaching her elbow and stockings reaching up to her thigh, she had a red glass visor and a silver mouth guard on her face, this was Soundwave. The diagram was that of Stinger, Soundwave was able to bring together a small diagram of him, however, it's very uncompleted so they would need to get him so they can see what makes him tick.
"Interesting. He lacks a T-Cog." Starscream said as she rubbed her chin. "He wasn't made a natural way, but I can't think of any other way you could make a Cybertronian without that part is in place. Does he have anything else in a place of a t-cog?"
Soundwave just looks at her, the model of Stinger started to glow red as the word incomplete comes up above his head. Soundwave points to his head, she displays an extra mode inside of him, Starscream looks on with interest.
"Good, perhaps making him a Decepticon could be easier than we thought, but we need to get closer to him." Starscream said. "Soundwave, my dear, check up on Barricade and the other Decepticons, I want to finish our current mission before we focus on the red bug."
"No need lady Starscream, I was about to report in about my progress." Barricade said over the comms. "With the help of Frenzy and the computer inside we were easily able to find out more about the boy who has the glasses, so along with knowing where he lives, we have much more information, as of now I will wait for the perfect time to strike, he's currently not home"
"Do not ambush him at his home, you would need to find a more private area to show yourself, but you need to make that he still has the glasses on him." Starscream told Barricade. "Did you hear from Shatter?"
"Yes, the deal was a success, the two are preparing the satellites and they will send Soundwave a link to it, even if the humans wise up, most of the satellites would still be in our control." Barricade told Starscream. "However, they could not locate the missing Decepticon and got no information about it from the humans."
"Hmm, tell them to work faster, whenever you go after the boy get some backup." Starscream said. "The Autobots will no doubt send more than one bot after you."
"Copy that my lady. Barricade over and out." She said as she disconnected.
"Once this is done, we will go back to focusing on mining more energon, I need you to find more locations for us to mind, and perhaps get the doctor and her sidekick." Starscream told Soundwave who nods. "As of now, I will head to the humans, Thundercracker, Brawl, Bonecrusher, Blackout, and Barricade will accompany me to the humans, so we would be able to introduce ourselves to them, hopefully, all goes according to plan, if it does, we may be able to eliminate all of the Autobots quickly and have a clear path to what we are looking for."

"So, what weapons do you have red bee?" Jazz asked Stinger as she leans against a wall with her arms crossed.
"I would assume standard weapons." Stinger said as he looks at his head.
"No Lil homie." Jazz said, Stinger only raised an eyebrow, one part of it is why does she speak like that, second is that he's slightly taller than her…slightly. "I mean what weapon do you have that is more so your own."
"Yeah, like I have this triple-barrel blaster." Cliffjumper said as her left arm changed to her blaster. "Jazz also has an electric whip or grappling hook"
"Oh, well I have this." Stinger held up his right hand and they watched as his weapons forms atop his forearm, looking like a 3d test model before the color and properties filled the weapon making it look complete. "My arm doesn't really become the weapon itself."
"Cool." Jazz said as she nods. "But one question, what's the purpose of having a pincer-like design?"
Stinger remembers how it was used against him, he clears his throat and point to his weapon. "Say if I put this around an enemy head, then pulled the trigger? Or I dunno, come from behind and stab it into their back and pull the trigger?"
"Okay, well it's pretty odd to have a weapon designed like that, rather than the usual looks of them." Cliffjumper said. "Is that all? And what's with the little cube things?"
"Oh, it's nanometal, I'm able to make my weapons out of them, but besides that, I have these cool ninja stars, a hidden blade, missile launchers, and a grappling hook." Stinger told them proudly. "And I have this cool battle mask."
He forms his battle mask, it looks like his face from his previous world, now its only function as a battle mask, it still had green eyes, which resembles the properties of a bee's or wasp eye.
"Nanometal huh?" Jazz asked as she looks at the weapon. "Can you make anything else with them."
"Oh, I dunno." Stinger said as he deforms his weapon. "Seems like a very hard thing to- wah bam!" Stinger made his weapon almost resemble Cliffjumper's weapon.
"Huh, pretty cool newbie." Cliffjumper said as she lightly punched his arm. "So, is that all?"
"It shouldn't be, I haven't tested the full limits of this." Stinger said. "It's programable for all I know, but I can just make new weapons and replicate them."
"You mentioned having a grappling hook." Jazz said. "Can you perhaps show us it?"
Stinger points his left hand to a wall. His cannon materialized, only this time it was shaped and gestured oddly, he twists something before firing a metal tip out, the tip instead hits something Ratchet was about to use, Stinger then pulled it towards him, ripping it out of place. He catches it as the grappling hook slides back into place.
"Alright, that's kinda cool." Jazz said, "But I won't say it's cooler than this." She displaces her electric whip,
"Bulkhead I needed that!" Ratchet shouted.
"Uh, Ratchet I'm right here." Bulkhead said and Ratchet turns to her.
"Sorry force of habit, Stinger I needed that!" Ratchet shouted.
"Oh, um….I buy you a new one? What is this anyways?" Stinger said as he inspects it.
"I would much rather keep the one I have, now I don't need you to become Bulkhead 2.0 and break things I need." Ratchet said as she walks overtaking that from Stinger.
"I have no idea what you mean by that, all I can say is no promises." Stinger told Ratchet who scoffs and walks away. "So…what now?"
"As of now, wait until you, Bee, and I are told to head out and find the human." Jazz said.
"You too?" Stinger asked.
"Yup, Prime thought I should come along with you two and keep an eye on you both, we can't afford any mistakes at the moment." Jazz said.
"Well, I'm sure this may be interesting." Stinger sarcastically said.
"Oh, trust me, it will." Jazz said as she pats his shoulder.
"Besides that, maybe we should try to get you in the training room one day, see where you may be ranked among us Autobots." Cliffjumper told Stinger as she punched her fist together. "I hope you put up a good fight."
"Easy Cliff, once our mission is over, we could possibly try and see where he would be, as of now, you may have to watch him perform." Jazz said, Cliffjumper sighs, however she nods.
The Autobots went back to talking, unaware of what will await them for the next few days thanks to the con's crafty plans.
A/N and the Fifth chapter is done! Sorry for the long wait, there were some bumps in the road, and I've been busy. I am super pumped to make this story and I have one more transformers story in me, but I will get to that later.
So going to the topic of Stinger, I'm not sure if Bayverse Bee would be stronger than Transformers Prime Bumblebee, giving all that Bayverse Bumblebee have done and how he will always manage to win, you can possibly look at Prime Bee past since he's connected to aligned, but technically that's also Bayverse Bee past thanks to Rise of the Dark Spark. Y'all can debate about the feats and strengths in the comments, I already thought of what I will do with Bayverse Bee and Stinger.
So, Stinger is stronger than his world Bee(it's my head canon, don't kill me) from what we saw he got more hits on Bee and was only killed by chance than anything else, we didn't see much, so here I would say that he has the edge in some categories, as for Prime Bee, well that'll be shown later
I will strain together all Cybertronian terms and their measurements of time, along with stringing together some strengths for Stinger.
Anyways, I hope each and every one of you enjoyed this chapter, stay tuned for more story updates and new stories in general, spread the word, and see you all next time. IceEmperor26 out!
