Ladies and gentlemen, organics and inorganics, Autobots and Decepticons, I AM BACK!!! After taking a break to recollect myself, I am continuing the story ONCE AGAIN! This chapter is going to be focused on backstory. "Aw man, not more character dev-." *shot* Anyways, let's get on with the story. As always, Hasbro is responsible for ALL THINGS that is Transformers.
We now return to The Transformers!
Chapter 12: Basics
Say it with me: on the planet Cybertron, a group of Autobot recruits were beginning their training to prepare them for the war that is raging around them.
One female autobot with a red and white paint scheme was looking around nervously from the thought she was going to go to war, despite not even knowing about the very emotion she was feeling. "Hey, what's up with her," a Bumblebee asked. A green autobot whispered, "SHUT UP, prime's coming!" "Which prime? I hope it's Optimus," a large red autobot exclaimed, shaking with intent.
"ATTENTION," a voice shouted, making the recruits stand in a single file order. Before the recruits was an autobot who was taller than all of them, along with a slightly taller autobot who was also blue, except had bits of white in his paint scheme as well. "Aw man, I thought Optimus would be here," the same red autobot whined. "Quiet," the prime ordered, "be happy you're lucky you're being trained by ME." "...And you would be," the yellow autobot asked. "Don't you know? I'm Sentinel Prime, I was the one who took down The Fallen!" "THE FALLEN," a smaller blue autobot exclaimed, "THE original decepticon?" "That's right," Sentinel answered, "and with my BARE HANDS too!" "He sounds LESS AWESOME, since you described how you destroyed him," the yellow bot joked, followed by the other recruits laughing.
"Well then," Sentinel Prime began, "I see that you've already told me why you're here, you're just here to waste everyone's time with your terrible jokes!" "No it isn't," the Bumblebee protested. "It's mine," a different red autobot recruit joked. "Oh, so now we got TWO IDIOTS MAKING DUMB JOKES," Sentinel exclaimed as he walked over to said autobot, "are you two by some chance related?" "Negative, sir," a female yellow autobot bearing a resemblance to the other female interrupted, "the one you are talking to currently is my brother, sir!" "Well, you better make sure he stays in line," Sentinel advised, "now everyone, tell me why you're all here."
"To join Rodimus Prime's team," the same autobot stated, "because he's the best looking Prime." "Same here," her brother added. "I'm here because I want to join an elite unit, preferably the elite guard," the green autobot explained. "I want to be an elite espionage agent, sir," the blue recruit said. Another blue recruit who had a red face replied, "to fight alongside my fellow autobots, preferably good looking female autobots." "I want to fight alongside Optimus Prime," the large recruit answered. "Ditto," the Bumblebee added. The last recruit stammered, "I... uh... want to be a... uh... doctor, sir..."
"WRONG ANSWERS," Sentinel responded. "SENTINEL," the bot accompanying Sentinel scolded. "Sorry Ultra Magnus," Sentinel apologized, "what I meant was: the REAL reason you're all here, is to help us destroy EVERY decepticon on Cybertron." "But... I want to save lives," the red and white recruit objected weakly. "You'll save lots of lives by destroying every decepticon there is! Do we have a problem, recruit?" "Enough, Sentinel," Ultra Magnus ordered, "as for now, I think the recruits should be introducing themselves to each other." "All right, you're all dismissed... for now!" The recruits saluted Ultra Magnus and Sentinel Prime before parting ways.
Do do do do do DO!
"Way to start your first day," the Bumblebee said to himself as he was taking a stroll. "What's the matter," the green recruit asked in a mocking tone, "did you finally realize you're not cut out to be a soldier?" "Ha ha, good one," Bee remarked. "Maybe you should've volunteered to clean guns instead," the green recruit suggested, "even Optimus Prime wouldn't want you fighting next to him!" "Hey, what's THAT supposed to mean?" The green recruit looked over towards the large recruit talking to the female red recruit and suggested, "why not ask THAT big loser over there? He wants to fight by Optimus' side just like you." Bumblebee then decided to do as told, instead of trying to make a come back, despite his desire to get back at the green autobot.
"Hey, little buddy," the big autobot greeted, extending his hand out. "Hey," Bumblebee chuckled nervously as he shook the bot's hand, "uh... what are you guys doing?" "We were just talking about all the AWESOME THINGS Optimus Prime has done," the large bot answered. "I came here to do the same thing, the name's Bumblebee." "It's nice to meet you," the female recruit replied shyly, "I'm..." "RED ALERT," a different female voice called.
They were then approached by both the yellow recruit and her brother. "We came to check up on you," the brother explained, "are you having fun?" "Yes," Red Alert answered. "Who are your new friends," the yellow bot asked. "They call me Inferno," the large bot answered. "I'm Bumblebee," 'Bee answered, "who are you two?" "The one whose beautiful form you are witnessing right now is Sunstreaker," the yellow bot answered as she did a variety of different poses, "only THE best looking Cybertronian there is!" "I can see that," Bumblebee complimented. "Sis," the one known as Red Alert whined, "not in front of my new friends!" "Sorry, I keep forgetting how sensitive my little sister is!" Sunstreaker teased in a cutesy voice, causing Red Alert to whimper. "That's enough you two, do I always have to be the adult," the brother asked. "Shut up, Sideswipe," Sunstreaker laughed as she playfully punched him in the arm, "that's what I am supposed to be." "You're all related? I can see the resemblance," Bumblebee joked.
Meanwhile, the other recruits were having their own discussion. "Why would ANYONE want to fight alongside Optimus Prime," the green recruit asked. "Hold on there, Wasp," the red-faced blue recruit interrupted, "if it weren't for him, we wouldn't be here training!" "And thanks to him, we have to go through training because there are still decepticons alive," Wasp corrected. "And your point is?" "My point is that Optimus Prime doesn't deserve to even BE A PRIME!" "Remind me again WHY you want to be an elite guard member?" "Because they are the BEST OF THE BEST, and everyone KNOWS IT, even the decepticons!" "Lay off him, Tracks," the other blue recruit replied, "if he wants to be an elite guard, let him." The only thing Tracks did was shake his head in disbelief. "It's better than your goal! You want to surround yourself with femmes," Wasp argued.
"All right recruits, report back to me AT ONCE," Sentinel ordered.
Do do do do do DO!
"I have some bad news for all you junk piles," Sentinel began, "you will have to train alongside some other recruits, as well as receive training from their instructor: Chromia!" "Eh, that's not so bad," Tracks replied. "NOT SO BAD!?! DO YOU EVEN KNOW THE BOTS SHE'S TRAINING RIGHT NOW," Sunstreaker exclaimed. "At ease, Protoform," Sentinel ordered, "on the plus side, I will personally drop in every so now and then to inspect your progress!" "You just had to say something," Bumblebee complained to Tracks.
The Transformers will return!
(I was going to save this chapter for the second... quarter(?) of this story, because it dives into the backstory of some of the autobots. I forgot to mention this, but Elita One as of this point of the story being written so far is NOT CANON (mostly because of which design to go for, as well as if she is even STILL ALIVE or not). Blurr IS canon, he just won't be appearing for a while (mostly because writing his dialogue is a bit tricky). This chapter is based on the Transformers: Animated episode "Auto-Bootcamp". There WILL be a few faces returning from previous chapters, ESPECIALLY the first chapter (anyone who can guess who the pink autobot at the beginning was, gets a cookie). This chapter also takes place millions of years before chapter 1 (which takes place in 1984). Anyways, I am BACK, and as always, leave your reviews (remember: they have to be in-depth) so we can ALL make this story better.)
*side note: I will try to upload chapters on a weekly basis on say... Every Friday, instead of every day (because GENIUS needs rest)
*edit: the 'other' chapter 12 (not the 'original' since that chapter is just going to come later) has been removed, therefore 'non-canon' (in this story's 'canon') due to it spoiling the story and disrupting the pacing
