Transformers Animated Rewrite: Episode 1
Transform and Roll Out: Part 1
"Many millions of years ago, war raged between the forces of the heroic Autobots and the the brutal Decepticons, for the control of the planet Cybertron, the Autobots battled valiantly in the name of honor, their courageous exploits bringing hope and glory to a bleakered war torn planet, and inspiring countless generations of robots, yet to come online"
That was the voice of a narration from a history vid being played on a space ships terminal, the one watching said vid was a red and blue Autobot, with his alt modes front window screen as his chestplate and treads on his blue legs and the autobot insignia on both of his shoulders, this was Optimus Prime, he was part of a space bridge repair crew for Cybertron.
Walking up behind him was a old but strong looking Autobot with red and white metal, a noticeable feature was that a piece of his headwear was missing, it also looked like he had a beard of sorts, the autobot insignia on his belly, which was also the front of his vehicle mode.
[I don't know how to describe the broken part of Ratchet's head]
"What a load of scrap metal" said the red and white bot in a grouchy tone as he turned to Optimus, "Why do you waste your time watching those old history vids?" he asked.
"All the great autobot leaders learned from the past" Optimus said in a voice that would belong to a young adult.
[don't know how to describe his voice, thats the best I got *shrugs*]
Ratchet then told Optimus, "Look around Prime, the great wars ended centuries ago" as he pointed out the asteroid field they were stationed in at the moment.
"But you were there Ratchet, you saw some action" Optimus said, "What were the Decepticons really like?" he asked eagerly.
"Trust me kid, you're better off not knowing" Ratchet said, he could kind of understand why Optimus would be interested, but he didn't want to be reminded of the old days in the war, so many good autobots were lost due to the war.
He then directed Optimus' attention outside the ship.
"Besides, looks like the young bots could use a hand" Ratchet said as Optimus looked outside, seeing their largest crew member dangling from a large cable stuck onto a large chunk of rocks as then the comlink went off.
"Bumblebee, Arcee, my wrecking ball got stuck again!" said the large bot on the com link, apparently this has happened more than once, to which Optimus groaned before getting up from his seat as he and Ratchet went into the cargo hold of the ship and walking to the door that would lead outside the ship.
"Do you ever get the feeling you were programmed for something more than just, repairing space bridges?" Optimus asked Ratchet as they walked.
"I got a diagnostics program that can delete that feeling like a bad line of code" Ratchet said as Optimus pressed a button to the hatch, the ship made an alarm to say the hatch was about to open as the outside sprouted out a large tunnel bridge to connect the Asteroid and ship together, the hatch then opens as the 2 autobots then transformed into their cybertronian vehicle modes.
Both vehicle modes had treads for all terrain travel, Ratchet's vehicle mode was that of a cybertronian ambulance, used to help transport injured autobots and for storing things inside him.
Optimus Primes however was more akin to a truck with the back part missing a large storage trailer or some other kind of attachment for his vehicle mode.
Soon the two drove through the tunnel bridge to the asteroid.
The large bot was still dangling from his wrecking ball cable as 2 new bots came running to his rescue, "I-I don't like heights Bumblebee!" the large bot said, he was dark green with silver arms, legs and head, his head had a green shovel like attachment to his mouth, he had treads on his arms, feet and back and the hand that wasn't being used showed he had 3 fingers, the autobot symbol was on his chest.
"Cool your circuits Bulkhead" the bot known as Bumblebee said as he ran to where the wrecking ball was stuck, this bot was mostly yellow with black stripes, his helm had 2 little yellow horns, he was the smallest compared to the rest of the crew and had the autobot symbol on his chest wherehis vehicle modes windows strangely looked like a face.
[I'm not the only one who saw his cybertronian versions windows that looked like a face in robot mode right?]
"I'm working as fast as I can" Bumblebee said as he ran to the top, "And you know there's no bot faster" he said before he made it to the top of the rocks and sees the wrecking ball wedged in many rocks, he then transforms his left hand into some type of sharp blaster before he shot electrical bolts into the rock, breaking some of it apart.
"Don't worry Bulkhead, we got you" said a feminine voice which belong to the second new bot, she was the 1st female autobot in this crew, her armor was blue and had a thinner body compared to the bulky and bigger bots of the crew, she had small treads on the back of her legs with pink boots and pink stripes along her arms and chest, her helmet had a small blue and pink fin on the top with some smaller pink fins on the sides.
Bumblebee stopped blasting to show not much had changed to the rocks, making Bulkhead deadpan at that before the yellow bot started to stomp on the rocks, causing that to tremble and shake.
The motion of the shaking was causing Bulkhead to get nauseous, "Oh I think I'm gonna blow a gasket!" Bulkhead said as he held his mouth as a rumbling could be heard from him.
"Bumblebee be careful, you could end up making a rockslide!" Arcee said.
"Try to hold it in a little longer buddy" Bumblebee said to Bulkhead before he lost his balance as the rocks started to come apart and fall, freeing Bulkhead but ended up making him and Bumblebee fall, Arcee quickly ran to dodge the falling rocks while Bulkhead and Bumblebee crashed onto the ground, Bulkheads wrecking ball landing on Bumblebee.
Soon Optimus and Ratchet arrived at the scene as they transformed into robot mode, "Alright, what seems to be the problem?" Optimus asked.
"I think the technical term is, "Bunch-a big hunking rocks jamming space bridge"" Bumblebee said sarcastically, as if the problem was obvious as he climbed off of Bulkhead as the bots gathered together.
"You know what I can't figure out?" Bulkhead said as he stood up and reeled in his wrecking ball, transforming it back into his normal hand, "Why would anyone WANT to transport to this all-spark forsaken sector?" Bulkhead asked.
"That's not the point Bulkhead" Optimus said as he walked over to some rocks, "We have a job to do here, and no problem is insurmountable without the right tools, and a little teamwork" he said before he pulled out a metal axe, which the handle extended and the blade separates revealing blue energy inside it before Optimus starts to chop through the rocks with ease.
Suddenly the group heard something flying by, the thing flying by was a red and black cybertronian jet, it flew in closer and then transformed into another female autobot, this one was the 2nd female member of the crew, her vehicle modes wings were placed on her back with massive turbines in them, her face was white with red markings and a golden headpiece on top of her head, her boots were black and red with thrusters at the bottom for minimal flight in robot mode.
"Hey, just heard a commotion going on, something happened?" she asked.
"Nothing to worry about Windblade, mind helping us here?" Optimus asked.
"Sure thing Prime" she said before everyone got to work.
"Alright everyone lend a servo" Prime said as he hacked at more rocks.
"Bulkhead!" Bulkhead proceeded to punch and smash any rocks coming at him.
"And you Bumblebee" Bumblebee brought out his stinger weapon again and blasted at the rocks coming to him.
"Come on Ratchet" Ratchet activated some types of devices on his arms which he then used to blast some rocks.
"Got these ones here" Arcee said as she transformed her arms into having arm blades as she slashed at some rocks.
"These ones are mine" Windblade said as she pulled out a sword which had glowing dark pink energy before she slashed at the rocks, destroying them.
"You too Prowl" Optimus said, only to hear nothing from Prowl, "Wait...where is Prowl?" he asked.
Suddenly, a golden shuriken flew right past him and destroyed a large boulder next to him, the shuriken then returned to its holder, which was a slim bot in the shadows.
"Just had to know the weak spot," Prowl said.
"Yeah, next time, you might wanna give us a little more warning" Optimus said as he didn't like Prowl just doing things without anyone's knowledge.
"That would just mess up my timing" said Prowl as he walked out of the shadows, showing his armor was black and gold and had wheels on the back of his legs with two thrusters on his shoulders going behind him, his eyes were covered by a blue visor, the autobot symbol was on his chest.
"Young bots...can't live with them, can't melt 'em down for spare parts" Ratchet said, annoyed at Prowl as well.
Bulkhead whispered to Bumblebee and Arcee, "Why's he so grumpy all the time?" he asked them.
"You'd be grumpy too if you had one servo in the scrap heap" Bumblebee joked, causing him to get whacked in the head by Ratchet, causing Bulkhead to jolt back and Arcee to wince at seeing that.
"I may have one servo in the scrap heap, but I can still hear!" he said angrily.
"Ease up on him Ratchet, he's just joking around" Windblade said.
Optimus then stood on top of some rocks with his hands on his hips, "Ok, I know we're stuck out here in the middle of nowhere on a thankless assignment, but remember, we're all cogs in the great autobot machine" Optimus said.
Prowl however facepalmed at this, "Not this speech again" he said, he had heard this speech too many times already.
"A machine that's stronger as a whole, than any one component part" Optimus said, not noticing the ground shaking.
"Uh, Optimus?" Arcee tried to get his attention.
"Together, we can move mountains!" Optimus said, suddenly the large space bridge activated, a large explosion of light burst in the area, blowing back everyone.
Prowl used his thrusters to glide in the air and Windglade used her turbines and wings to fly in the wind.
However Bumblebee, Ratchet, Bulkhead and Arcee tumbled away due to the strong winds.
"Bad choice of words big bot!" Bumblebee said as he was blown away.
Optimus acted quickly as a mouth guard covered his face, he fires a grapple hook from his arm, grabbing onto a nearby by floating rock, he then quickly swings around and grabs Bumblebee and tosses him nearby Ratchet, he then quickly used his axe which had a thruster on the back of the blade and it activated, to chop a large rock heading to Ratchet, destroying it.
Prowls thrusters suddenly deactivated, he was starting to fall, only for Windblade to swoop in and catch him, "I gotcha Prowl!" she said before noticing a very large cluster of rocks heading for Bulkhead, "Prime, net launcher!" She called out to Optimus who quickly acted and used his axe to fly ahead, firing a net that caught the cluster of rocks, saving Bulkhead from them.
Windblade then notices Arcess kept trying to dodge the rocks before going into an alt mode which resembled a motorcycle, only replace the tires for treads, however she couldn't steer properly in the winds, Windblade set Prowl down before she charged in to help Arcee, she used her wings to maneuver through the winds as she grabs Arcee and then flew upwards, away from the incoming rocks.
Optimus then maneuvered his way through the rocks, then his Axe's handle extends, he uses it to leap towards the space bridge, he then shoots out his grapple, the claw at the end hits a control panel on the space bridge, shutting it down, soon all the wind disappears and the rocks fall to the ground.
Windblade flies down and lands, putting down Arcee as the blue and pink bot transforms back to robot mode.
Bulkheads jaw was left open in shock before Prowl walked over and closed it, "Impressive" Prowl said.
"Where did you two learn moves like that?" Bulkhead asked Optimus and Windblade.
"We trained at the, Autobot Academy" Optimus said as he and Windblade winced a bit.
Ratchet, who was repairing Bumblebee, stopped and looked at the two bots.
"So how did two academy bots end up on a broken down maintenance crew?" Ratchet asked before Bumblebee stood up, "Yeah, shouldn't you two be leading the Cybertron Elite Guard or something?" he asked.
"We trained for different things, I was trained to be a scout, unlike Optimus" Windblade said.
Optimus was about to explain before a bright blue light caught his attention, he looks to where it was coming from and saw the light was buried under rocks, he walked over and ripped apart some boulders, he could see what it was but there was still some rocks in the way, he then pulled out his axe, making everyone get worried.
"Uh, I don't think that's such a good idea boss bot!" Bulkhead said as everyone braced for what could happen, Ratchet who knew what it was, panicked and tried to stop Optimus.
"Prime! NO!" Ratchet yelled.
Optimus then brought the axe down, uncovering the light's origin, inside was a strange container, it had glowing blue lines and two large handles on the sides, the metal covering was orange.
Everyone gathered around it and stared in awe, except for Ratchet, who was concerned.
"What is it?" Bulkhead asked.
"I don't know" Bumblebee said, "Maybe we should take it back to the ship so the doc bot can check it out" Bumblebee was about to reach in and grab it, only for Ratchet to stop him.
"Leave it! Or better still throw it back through the space bridge" Ratchet said before turning to the container, "This thing wasn't meant to be found".
"Woah, Ratchet being scared, that's a new one" Arcee said.
"What's got you so spooked all of a sudden Ratchet?" Optimus asked before being interrupted by a voice coming from his flashing autobot insignia.
"Teletraan 1 to Optimus Prime Teletraan 1 to Optimus Prime" The Voice, Teletraan 1, said.
Back in the ship, on the ship's interface showed a radar, showing energy signals, one of which was approaching and had the Decepticon Insignia next to it.
"Unidentified spacecraft entering this sector, energy signature consistent with Decepticon Warship" Said Teletraan 1.
"Decepticon?" Optimus asked, making sure he heard that right, "That must be a mistake, the Decepticons were destroyed centuries ago" Optimus said.
"Defeated, not destroyed" Ratchet said, "And we're not waiting around for them to find us" he said before transforming to his vehicle mode.
"What are you bots waiting for?! An invitation?! Load it up, pronto!" Ratchet said to Bumblebee and Prowl, to which they looked to each other in confusion before doing what the medic said and grabbed the container.
"Wait Ratchet, why the sudden urgency? What is this thing?" Optimus asked, wondering why the container was so important right now.
As Prowl and Bumblebee loaded the container into Ratchet's storage, Bulkhead closed it up, "There's no time, let's move!" Ratchet said before driving off back to the ship, everyone else followed.
Soon everyone was on board and the ship departed, leaving the asteroid and space bridge by itself.
Inside the ship, the bots were in the cargo hold, they unloaded the container from Ratchet and set it on the ground.
"You're the history bot Prime, ever heard of the Allspark?" Ratchet asked, still in vehicle mode.
"Well yeah, the most powerful energy source in the universe, it gave the spark of life to all Cybertronians" Optimus said before Ratchet transformed back to robot mode.
"Every bot knows that story" Bulkhead said before they all gathered around the container.
"Here's another one, the only way we were able to win the great wars all those centuries ago was by keeping the Allspark out of the Decepticons hands, so it was sent through a space bridge, hidden in some far flung corner of the galaxy where no one would ever find it" Ratchet said, soon everyone knew what they were looking at.
"So, you're saying we found the Allspark? The real Allspark?!" Bumblebee asked, surprised and shocked.
"No, I'm saying IT found US" Ratchet explained.
Soon alarms were going off, getting all of their attention.
"Warning, Spacecraft approaching, positive identification as Decepticon Warship" Teletraan 1 announced.
"It's not the only thing that found us" Windblade said as the Autobots quickly went to the ship's controls, leaving the Allspark in the cargo hold.
As everyone was at a station, leaving Windblade to stand by Optimus as there were no more seats left.
"It's following us" Prowl said as the screen showed the Decepticon Warship following them.
"You wanted to see action kid? Be careful what you wish for" Ratchet said to Optimus.
"Uh hello, we're a repair crew, please tell me we are actually thinking of taking on Decepticons?!" Bumblebee asked, scared he might actually fight Decepticons.
"Not without backup, patch me to Cybertron Command Headquarters" Optimus commanded.
"Wow, when you want backup you go straight to the top" Bulkhead said, surprised at the command.
Optimus smirked at this while Windblade playfully rolled her eyes at that.
Soon the screen appears with a blue, orange and silver autobot face appearing with a ridiculously massive chin.
[I am so gonna be making fun of sentinel every time he appears]
"Optimus Prime, you mean they still let you command other autobots? And Windblade? Still thinking about the so-called "Titans"?" Sentinel Prime said with a smug smirk.
"Don't start Sentinel, just put me through to Ultra Magnus" Optimus said, not wanting to deal with Sentinel.
"Now how could a third rate rock buster possibly merit the Autobot Supreme Commander's attention?" he asked with a dumb smirk.
Optimus was getting tired of this so he decided to one up on Sentinel to shut him up, "Display Cargo Hold visual" he said as the crew brought up a visual, showing the Allspark, as soon as the big chinned [Moron] Prime saw it, he went from smug to shocked.
"I-I'll put you through right away" he said before he disappeared from the screen.
Ratchet and Windblade smirked at Optimus at his commands, soon the screen appeared again, this time showing a blue and white bot who was aged and looked stern, "Ultra Magnus here Optimus, we're tracking your Decepticon signal".
The screen showed an image of the Decepticon Signal getting bigger and closer, however Ultra Magnus didn't seem to be worried, "Probably just a lost scout ship" he said, although Optimus didn't seem accepting of that answer.
"Ever since we drove them off Cybertron, the Cons have been wandering the reverie, they'd never be so foolish as to invade Autobot space" Ultra Magnus said.
"Tell that to the history records" Windblade mumbled.
"Still, I'm sending out a strike force to intercept if necessary, meantime, you and your bots just sit tight" Ultra Magnus said before looking straight at Optimus.
"And Prime, don't try to be a hero, it's not in your programming" Ultra Magnus said before the screen disappeared.
"Decepticons still on our tail and closing in fast" Arcee notified.
"So uh, why don't we see 'em?" Bumblebee asked
"Decepticons love to use dirty tricks, they might have some cloaking on their ship" Windblade keeping an eye out for the warship.
Optimus sat down in his seat before typing on a keyboard at his terminal, "Teletraan 1, set a course for the nearest Space bridge".
Bulkhead turned to Optimus, "But Ultra Magnus said to sit tight!" he said, surprised by Primes' action.
"With all due respect, Ultra Magnus isn't carrying the Allspark!" Optimus said as the ship changed course.
"So, we'll make a b line for a space bridge and blast through whatever debris is in our way" Optimus said as they all kept a lookout for the Decepticons, before they saw it, and the warship was no joke, it was massive, it was mixture of different shades of purple, mostly dark shades with menacing purple lights on the warship.
"Uh, Boss bot...I don't think we can blast through THAT!" Bulkhead said, everyone was terrified at the size of the warship.
"I've never seen a Decepticon ship up close" Bulkhead said.
"No one has, and Lived" Ratchet said
"Great, just when I thought we could get out of this alive" Windblade said sarcastically.
Optimus typed on the console before getting his results, "It's a command ship, I've recognised the markings from the history vids".
"Megatron" Ratchet said fearfully.
"Megatron? As in the cruel and vicious decepticon leader? Who eats Autobot protoforms for breakfast?!" Bumblebee said, very scared for his life right now.
Meanwhile on the Decepticon Warship in its command bridge, stood 2 Decepticons, one was the average size of most Cybertronians while the other was enormous, the first one had wings belonging to a cybertronian jet on his back, his paint had mixtures of crimson red, grey and black with a orange chest piece resembling a jet cockpit on his torso, his boots and back had his alt modes thrusters on them and his Decepticon insignia was on his wings, he also had 2 blaster like weapons attached to his arms, he scowled with his red eyes towards the small Autobot ship.
The larger one had purple all over with some grey on his head, hands, feet and shoulder armor, he had 1 large red circular optic with 4 smaller red lights on the sides of his head, whether they were his eyes or not, no one can tell.
[Seriously I can't tell, does he have 1 optic or 5?!]
It was hard to tell what his alt mode was as his body was so big and bulky you could barely make out anyone for his alt mode other than the windows attached to his chest.
"Megatron is a fool who's been chasing a ghost for centuries" said the smaller Decepticon with a whiny yet arrogant voice, "I seriously doubt we will find this, "Allspark" on board such a insignificant vessel" he said as he scowled, you could tell he didn't have faith for his leader.
"TRAITOR!" said the larger Decepticon in a deep voice as he marched over to the smaller one, "Megatron is wise! Megatron is bold! Megatron will return the Decepticons, to Cybertron! And-" before the large one could speak, a annoyed female voice interrupted him.
"And wipe our homeland clean of the stench of autobot tyranny, bladdy blah blah blah" walking in was a female Decepticon, her body was coated in purple, black and gold armor, she had high heels and her armor seemed very different, not resembling a vehicle at all, not showing what her alt mode could possibly be with two large rods on her shoulder armor pads, her helmet didn't show her face, only her mouth and strangely, four red optics, her helmet had a symbol of a sharp looking hourglass, which was kind of strange, her Decepticon insignia was on her collar armor.
"Did you memorize that speech, Lugnut? Or is it just hardwired into that thick one track processor of yours?!" she asked before suddenly her arm got blasted by a blue beam with swirling purple energy, it stopped to reveal her arm was now covered in ice.
The one who fired the beam walked in, this Decepticon had light brown armor and his armor resembled that of a soldier, he had large shoulder armor with spikes in them and two mounted cannons on his back, his insignia was on his chest, his face was oddly blue with 1 normal red optic and one circular optic.
"As usual Blackarachnia" said the blue faced Decepticon as his cannons, which had ice coming out of the barrels, rose up on his back, "Your demeanor is unpleasant as that cursed organic mold of yours" he said in oddly, a german accent.
"Blow it out of your actuator three-face" Blackarachnia said as she hissed and flexed her arm, breaking the ice away.
Suddenly, the blue faced Decepticons face spun around before he revealed to have a red face with a gap in his teeth and his optics were now a single red visor, "The name is Blitzwing insect! Remember it!" He said, now in a Austrian accent, "Cause its the last thing your going to hear before I-" before he could finish, his face spun again to reveal a menacing black face with sharp red optics and fanged mouth with red in his mouth.
"Express me feelings in song!" he said now speaking normal while sounding a bit crazy before he started to sing?" "The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout!" he sung as he started to dance aswell
Soon enough te four Decepticons started to argue amongst themselves.
[more like three and Blitzwing just singing to himself].
Suddenly, the doors leading to the bridge opened to reveal the leader of the Decepticons, Megatron, his armor was grey with red on his torso, arms and legs, his shoulder armor was spiked and he had a large black cannon attached to his right arm, the Decepticon symbol was on his chest.
As the four Decepticons saw him, they stopped arguing and stood at attention, even Blitzwing switched back to his blue face.
Megatron walked into the bridge as the four Decepticons awaited for his command.
"Starscream, report" Megatron demanded in a commanding and deep tone.
"Energy readings are off the scale my liege, shall I fire on the Autobots?" Starscream asked, wanting to end the autobots lives then and there.
"Cripple their ship, but do not destroy it, yet" Megatron said as he glared at the ship.
"Yes yes yes! Brilliant strategy, oh wise and great leader" Starscream said, now acting like a suck up like Lugnut.
Soon the Warship started to charge its weapons, the autobots see this and panic as alarms started to go off.
"Teletraan 1, evasive maneuvers!" Optimus said as soon the ship moved out of the way from the blast.
"Activate emergency defense system! Codename: omega!" Optimus commanded Teletraan 1, however the answer he got shocked him.
"I'm sorry, this function has been disabled in compliance with Cybertrons ongoing efforts to conserve energon".
"What?!" Optimus and Windblade said, not wanting to believe their defense systems were disabled right when they needed them.
Soon the ship jerked, causing everyone to fall out of their seats and onto the ground while the ship continued to avoid the laser blasts.
"We're all gonna die, aren't we" Bumblebee said, defeated.
"I'm not giving up that easily" Windblade said as she got up from the floor.
The ship continued its course before Teletraan 1 spoke again.
"Warning! Asteroid field, initiating alternate route".
Optimus got up and tried to stop it, "No! Override!".
The ship kept on as it flew through the asteroid field, the Warship however just blasted through any asteroids in its way.
Back on the Decepticon warship, Blackarachnia was on one of the ships terminals in the bridge as she scanned the ship for the massive energy source.
"I got a match on the energy reading, if it's not the Allspark, its something just as powerful" she informed Megatron who was now in a throne like chair.
Starscream then bowed in front of Megatron, "I volunteer to deploy and breach the Autobot ship" he said, only for Megatron to clench his fists in anger.
"I didn't spend the last 4 millian solar cycles searching the galaxy, just so you can lay your greasy wings on the Allspark!" Megatron said as he grabbed Starscream's left wing and tightened his grip, bending his wing as he lifted him up to his face.
"Ow ow!" Starscream said in pain from how tight Megatron grabbed his wing.
"I will harness its energy into the ultimate weapon, and crush the Autobots for good" Megatron said as he got up from his chair and let go of Starscream's wing, showing it was now bent and damaged, Starscream scowled at this.
"Well I'll just, get this fixed then" Starscream said before coming up with an idea, one that would surely get him what he wants as he smirked evilly.
A few minutes later, Megatron stands before the launch bay of his ship as the bay door opens, then Starscream is seen walking to him.
"What do you want now, Starscream?" Megatron asked, not caring why his follower had come to him.
Starscream sneakily placed a blinked red object onto Megatron's back before patting the Decepticons leaders back.
"Only to wish you luck, my liege" Starcsream said as he bowed.
"I do not believe in luck" Megatron said before he transformed into his cybertronian alt mode and flew out of the launch bay.
Starscream then smirked evilly, "Neither, do I!" he said.
As Megatron drew closer, he didn't notice the device beeping on his back, he then transformed into robot mode and he got closer.
In the Autobot ship, the team saw on the live feed and were absolutely shocked at seeing Megatron.
"Is that...Megatron?!" Optimus said, clearly shocked at this turn of events.
Everyone looked shocked and afraid of this, "You never said he was so big," Bulkhead said.
"You never said he was so, terrifying" Arcee said.
"You never said he could fly!" Bumblebee said, completely surprised that the Decepticon leader could fly.
As Megatron flew to the ship, everyone inside the ship braced for impact, waiting for when the Decepticonleader would crash in, only after a few seconds, nothing happened.
"...Huh, guess he wasn't coming for us" Bulkhead said.
"I doubt that Bulkhead" Windblade said, only for the shi to suddenly jolt, making everyone lose balance and try to get balance, outside the ship, Megatron was using his cannon to make his way inside the ship as the laser was piercing through, melting the ships metal.
Optimus looked up to see the melting point of the metal, knowing where Megatron was located now, he turned to Ratchet, "Ratchet! Seal the hull breach!" he said as Ratchet typed away on his terminal.
"Prowl, Arcee, hold the ship steady!" Optimus said as said bots operated their terminals to make sure the ship stayed on course.
"Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Windblade, guard the Allspark" Optimus said as they went to the cargo hold, Windblade bringing out her sword out ready.
"I'll handle Megatron" Optimus said as Bumblebee turned to the red and blue bot as he opened the door to the cargo hold.
"But, we're repair bots! We're not programmed for this kind of action" Bumblebee said as Bulkhead went in first.
"Then consider this an upgrade" Optimus said before he brought out 2 handles, which activated two large mechanical arms outside the ship.
"Try not to panic Bee, me and Prime had our training, I'm sure big bots got this" Windblade said as she tried to keep the yellow Autobot from panicking as she went into the cargo also, bringing Bumblebee with her.
Outside the ship, the mechanical arms grabbed a hold of Megatron, making him ceasefire on the ship as the Decepticon leader tried to forcefully release himself from the arms hold, inside the ship Optimus was also wrestling for control as he tried to keep a strong hold on the evil cybertronian.
However the device on Megatron's back beeped louder and faster, before suddenly, a giant explosion consumed Megatron and the top of the ship, a massive dark cloud surrounded the area of the explosion, concealing anything within from anyone seeing inside it.
Everyone inside the ship fell from the force of the explosion, the ship was now no longer piloted as the ship was damaged and some parts of it on fire, outside the ship resided the damaged left hand of Megatron gripping into the ship.
Back at the Decepticon warship, Starscream saw the explosion and the ship of course and smiled evilly, "YES!" he said excitedly, only to turn and try to compose himself, "Right then, solemn face, solemn face" he said to himself as he walked away from the launch bay.
Back on the autobot ship, it was out of control as it was of course.
Inside, the autobots groaned as Teletraan 1 let out many alarms, "Warning, hull breach, sealing patches Alpha, Omega and Epsilon." then more hatches opened as pumps shot out foam at the breaches as smoke was filling the ship, however it was still off course as the ship was nearing a large asteroid, "Warning, Planetary impact, imminent!".
Optimus however made it to the main control terminal as he said, "Go to manual override!".
Prowl was concerned at this, "Can you even do that?" he asked.
"How about we let him try and not ask question Prowl" Arcee said as a a pair of handles for the ships control appeared, Optimus grabbed it as he attempted to steer the ship away from the asteroid, it barely scratched it as the ship flew past it and was heading to a nearby spacebridge, the one the Autobots found the Allspark at and left before.
Inside the cargo hold, the Allspark glowed brightly, catching the attention of Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Windblade, "Hey, what's that thing doing?!" Bumblebee said, freaked out at the moment after the explosion from earlier.
"I don't know, be careful guys" Windblade as the Allspark glew brighter.
Suddenly the light covered the entire ship, catching all of the ships occupants off guard before the Allspark shot out its energy toward the spacebridge, activating it as the ship went through, as it did, the space bridge started to spark before it suddenly exploded, the energy too much as it's explosion was destroying the spacebridge, the asteroid it was on and the explosion kept growing, destroying anything that came near it.
Back at the Warship, Starscreamstared at the explosion, not knowing what was happening as he smirked evilly and was giving a speech, "This is a dark day in Decepticon history, may the legacy of our fallen leader, Megatron, live in our memory cores, for all eternity" he said, not realising the explosion was getting bigger, or that he was alone on the ship.
"As I appoint myself, new leader, I solemnly pledge to-" he turned, only to see nobody was there and alarms were going off, "W-wheres everybody gone?" he asked himself.
Outside the Warship, many escape pods shot out of the launch bay and faraway from the ship and the incoming explosion.
Back inside the Warship, Starscream finally took notice of the growing light and explosion, only to realise he had no escape, he screamed in panic and soon, agony as the explosion broke through the ships windows, tearing the ship apart.
Meanwhile in another system of the galaxy, a space bridge portal appears and the Autobot ship flies out of it, the portal disappearing soon after, the ship was still repairing itself but heading to a planet unown to the Autobots.
"Prowl, Ratchet, Arcee, everyone alright?" Optimus asked as they groaned from the surprise travel, he then pressed a button on his terminal, "Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Windblade, report" he asked through the intercom, but soon a large shadow loomed over him.
It was Megatron, still alive but damaged, he grabbed Optimus with his only hand and shoved him into the terminal, the difference in size letting the Decepticon overpower the Autobot easily.
"The Allspark, where is it?!" Megatron demanded, however, Prowl and Ratchet grabbed Megatron's arm and pulled, only for Megatron to overpower them too and push Prowl to the ground and throw Ratchet away while still holding Optimus, he then pushed his foot onto Prwols chassis as he stood straight, showing the only remains of his right arm being the inner workings and some rods while pressing Optimus into a wall.
"I grow impatient" Megatron threatened, only for Arceeto jump in with her arm blades and slash at Megatron's face, only for her to step back in fear as Megatron glared at her, thankfully this distracted the Decepticon long enough for Optimus to activate his grapple claw and fire it at a lever on one of the terminals and pushing it.
"Artificial gravity, Disabled" Teletraan 1 informed as now there was no gravity in the ship, letting Optimus now have a chance and he kicked the damaged Megatron away from him.
"Good thinking Prime" Ratchet said as he smiled in hopes that they had a chance, "Putting us on equal footing, so to speak".
Everyone floated in random directions as they tried to sustain ground, Ratchet used some electromagnets in his feet to stand on the ceiling while Megatron used what was left of his right arm to wedge himself in the ceiling, preventing him from floating around.
The doors to the cargo hold opened as Bumblebee and Bulkhead floated out while Windblade used her turbines and wings to fly around.
"Hey, who turned off the-" before Bumblebee could speak, he was accidentally knocked away by Bulkhead.
"Sorry! My bad!" Bulkhead said.
Bumblebee rolled around in the air before colliding into Megatrons foot, he looked and saw the massive Deception and for whatever reason taunted him, "You know what, you're even uglier at this angle" he said with a smirk.
Megatron growled as he glared at the small autobot, before he suddenly pulled out a large sword from his back, Bumblebee saw this and quickly dodged a swipe of the sword, "Scary too!" he said before Windblade flew in and dragged him away by his foot.
"I got ya bee!" she said as she flew away from Megatron.
Optimus had his axe embedded into a wall as he was behind Megatron, he then spoke to hims team mates, "Everyone position for a coordinated attack on my signal" Optimus said, only for suddenly Prowl to fly by him using his thrusters, "Prowl no! Wait for my signal!" Optimus said as he tried to grab Prowl, only for it to go through his foot.
Megatron saw Prowl coming for him and slashed at him, only for it to be revealed to be a hologram, Prowl was now behind Megatron as he used a small golden chakram to slice the remains of Megatrons arm, leaving the Decepticon leader with no leveridge and left him now floating in the air.
Optimus glared at this however as Prowl once agin acted without orders, "Ok, the decoy was a nice touch, but once again a little warning would have helped" he said.
However Bulkhead was still floating around as he bumped into Optimus, leaving the red and blue autobot in the air.
"Will it kill you bots to say something like, "Heads up" or I dunno "Watch out" or-" before Optimus could continue to rant, Ratchet yelled out.
"Icoming!" Ratchet used his magnets to use the leftover Megatron arm and launched it at Megatron, hitting him and sending the Decepticon away and into a control panel, activated the artificial gravity once more but also activated the thrusters on the ship, forcing it to fly faster and towards the planet below, the force of the sudden speed caused everyone to be pushed back into different places, however, Optimus and Windblade were pushed into the cargohold.
Optimus struggled to get up because of the force of the speed they were going, only for Megatron to step on him, who was not affected by the speeds force.
"Now bring me the Allspark, and I may spare your miserable, Autobot lives" Megatron threatened, Optimus struggled as he tried to push him off, but it wasn't working, Megatron decided to end it as he raised his sword and swung it downward, only for Optimus to stop it by using his axe to shield himself.
Outside the ship it was burning up in the atmosphere, luckily the ship could survive the heat but it would soon crash into the planet's surface.
They both struggled against each blade before Megatron was distracted by the light of the Allspark, he finally saw it, before he could do anything however, Optimus extended the handle on his axe and activated the docking tunnel and it opened the doors to the outside, causing a vacuum of wind to start sucking up Megatron, however the decepticon grabbed into the doors edge to prevent him being thrown out, however Optius tackled him through it.
"Optimus!" Windblade yelled inpanic.
Optimus and Megatron tumbled in the tunnel before Optimus used his axe to stop him from being sucked out, Megatron tried to grab him but Optimus quickly kicked him away, throwing out the Decepticon leader who burned up as he descended to the planet below.
Optimus stared out of the tunnel before he saw Windblade behind him, using her sword stabbed in the tunnel to reach him, she took out her hand to which he grabbed onto, pulling him back inside.
Meanwhile below on Earth, just outside a small town called Paw Paw, Michigan, was a large barn with a satellite and a massive telescope built on its roof, inside the barn was a young Indian man, his hair was styled back and was wearing a green button up shirt, he was surrounded by technology as he was seen building a robotic arm of sorts before he suddenly heard something crash outside.
Curious, he decided to see what it was as he took a flashlight to see in the dark since it was currently night time, he followed a trail of smoke as he saw the damage of a field, as he got closer, he saw a massive trench and saw, the head of Megatron, it was inactive, the young man gasped in shock, not noticing the autobot ship flying past behind him.
Back with the ship, it was still burning up from entry as was flying towards a city, "Warning, planetary impact imminent!" Teletraan 1 announced as Optimus made his way to the bridge before giving out his next order, "Everyone to the stasis pods!" he said.
Everyone followed the order but Bumblebee looked back to Optimus, "What about you?" he asked.
"Not until I've steered us clear of this populated sector"Optimus said as he piloted the ship away from the city the best he could, the stasis pods with bots in them closed as Optimus guided the ship, he luckily managed to steer it towards a massive lake of water, which had a sign near it which had the name of the Lake, known as Lake Erie, Optimus then made it to his Stasis pod as it closed, putting all the bots into stasis as the ship crashed into the lake and descending into the water.
"Initiating, emergency stasis mode" Teletraan 1 said as the stasis pods activated and fogging up the glass on the pods with frost as the ship descended deeper into the lake before finally landing on the floor of the lake, however, it wasn't the only cybertronian ship down in the lake as another was down there, green and silver metal casing on it while also having a symbol on it, a green symbol showing some type of animal with large fangs.
50 Years Later
"Back in the earlier 20th Century, Detroit was known as the motor city, the automobile manufacturing capital of the world" A voice with an Indian accent narrated as we are shown a large city with roads almost everywhere with tall buildings and train tracks too with many cars and trains to occupy them.
"Today, Detroit is once again the world's leading manufacturer, not of automobiles, but automatons! Robots!", we are then showed many different types of robots, each with a different purpose, from cleaning trash, to serving food, to even walking dogs.
"Or as we at Sumdac Systems like to call them, our tireless mechanical partners, ever reliable, never complaining, not task to mundane or unpleasant" we are then shown more as serving humans like carrying shopping and serving on food vendors and some even working in places people don't usually want to work , like in a public bathroom and cleaning it.
"Unencumbered by fears and phobias, able to survive and withstand extreme environments, far beyond the capacity of us mere humans" we are shown more such jobs as cleaning a buildings windows from a very high point and even working in hazardous areas like nuclear radiation plants.
We then see a factory of sorts near a dock, just by Lake Erie.
"The robot revolution begins here, on the typical Sumdac Systems assembly line, where we make the latest lines of my Sumdac robots" we then see the owner of the voice is the same Indian man before, only 50 years older as he wore a lab coat with black gloves, had tired eyes and a white line in his hair, still styled in a odd shape.
"Any questions?" he asked, to a group of children on a school trip, one kid raised their hand.
"Where'd you get the idea for you robots Mr. Sumdac?" the kid asked.
"It was something that I just sort of, stumbled upon" he said, as he truly did stumble upon something long ago.
Mr. Sumdac would have continued on with the tour he had, before a robot dog ran around him as a little dark skinned red head girl chased after the robot dog while another robot with a monitor for a head and a teachers hat chased after her.
The girl continued to chase the dog bot past the tour crowd, "Sparkplug! Get back here, you mangy little furbot!" the girl yelled as she kept chasing the bot before finally stopping as she grabbed what was in its mouth, which was a key card as she tugged on it, Sumdac sighed as this was normal to him by now.
The girl tugged on the key card as the dog bot didn't let go, "My key! Is not! A chew toy! Let! Go! Now!" the girl said before Sparkplug actually let go, making the girl fall back and into Sumdac.
Now we could get a good look at the girl she has dark skin like Sumdac but had red hair tied in short twin ponytails, she had 2 hair clips in front keeping her hair from blocking her face, she is wearing a orange dress with a lighter orange stripe in the middle going upwards and orange boots with lighter orange soles, her eyes are brown.
She gets up and looks embarrassed, "Sorry Dad" she says quietly, yep,she is the daughter of Professor Sumdac, who was getting up as well.
"Forgive me children, this is my daughter, Sari" he introduced as Sari blew a large bubble from some gum she was chewing, to which it popped in her face, she then tried to get the gum off her face and hair, "Sari, what do you say?" Sumdac said to her.
"Anybody got a pair of scissors?" she said before finally getting the gum off her before putting it in her mouth again and chewing it, "Eh, never mind" she said without a care in the world, which grossed out the children.
Sumdac facepalmed and sighed in dismay.
"So uh, what's it like to grow up around all these cool robots?" one of the kids asked Sari.
"I don't know, what's it like to go to school with other kids?" Sari asked only to be stopped by her father.
"I apologize once again for the interruption, but my daughter must return to her studies now" Sumdac said
"Hey! Let go!" Sari said, annoyed that she was being taken to do her studies again by the teacher robot made for her by her father.
Later on the tour continued with the kids looking through a window into an lad where an experiment was going on.
"Here we are, working on the latest development in nanotechnology, self replicating, submicroscopic, biodiagnostic robots, designed to fight disease, monitor and repair the human body from within" Sumdac explained as the scientists inside wearing hazmat suits, injecting a cockroach with the nanobots.
Back with the tour, the kids looked inside microscopes to see the microbots at work.
"Not quite the cure for cancer, but these Microbots are a major first step, in the fusion of the organic and the technological and quite possibly, escape way to immortality" Sumdac explained.
However the cockroach that got injected, started to grow, first the legs, then its out as it soon started to grow out of control.
"I, I can't stop the replication, the cells are growing out of control!" a scientist said as the cockroach grew big enough to shatter its glass casing.
The kids were scared at this as the cockroach knocked over a shelf which contained more microbots, "It's merging with more Microbots! They're merging with everything" a Scientist exclaimed as jumped out of the way from the growing creature as it absorbed more technology, it briefly turned into disgusting slime before solidifying again into a bigger version of its self as it became more monstrous.
Sumdac tried to calm down the tourists, "Nothing to be concerned about children! These happy accidents are often what lead us to discovery".
"Uh, Mr. Sumdac? I think this accident doesn't look to happy" one of the kids said, before suddenly, the monster crashes through the glass as it sees the tourists and Sumdac, they quickly make a run for it outside the factory, hoping to escape the monster.
Meanwhile at the bottom of Lake Erie, inside the green and silver ship, the lights suddenly turn on, showing some type of battle took place as the inside shown signs of a wreckage but luckily no water inside the ship, then a single stasis pod activated within a stasis pod chamber, steam poured out of it as a pair of blue eyes shined through it while the green Animal symbol shined in the mist as well.
"Maximal stasis pod 1, Online" said a voice that was similar to Teletraan 1.
To be continued…
Heya guys, thats right I got a new main story idea here, this is the Transformers Animated Rewrite, I loved Transformers Animated as a kid and with all the new stuff with Transformers today, I wondered how different Transformers Animated would be if it was made today with all the new stuff like the concept of Minicons or Cybertronian Colonies or the Beast Wars or maybe even combiners and titans, so I decided to make a rewrite with all of those things added to make something awesome, also this would be my first non-crossover story so far, until I decide it has a crossover chapter or something, we'll see.
So I hope you like the additions I made, I wanted to add Arcee with the main team but not the one from Animated. I made her design a bit based on Transformers Prime Arcee but instead of her attitude and personality from that show, I am making her kinder.
I also added Windblade to the crew and gave her a new background in this universe, she is like Optimus as she was dropped out of the Autobot academy but for a different reason, don't worry she's still a city speaker so we will get to see some Titans eventually.
More changes will be explained as soon as they appear in the story, for now I jope you enjoy the future chapters to come from this story.
