"The invasion of Tokyo is an event that permanently changed our world!" The Combiner Wars in Tokyo has been spread through the public via. The news making people more afraid of the Transformers taking refuge on their planet whether they're Autobot or Decepticon.

"The entire Tokyo population has been wiped out with the entire city destroyed, even the least damaged buildings are starting to fall apart!" A news reporter explained.

"Some people are saying that this alien attack is the worse then the drop of the Hiroshima bomb!" Another news reporter said.

"Will we be safe now knowing that any of our vehicles could transform into these "Transformers"?" The news has made the entire human race panic and bringing the TRF back into business.

"I still don't get you Lennox, these alien terrorists have killed our soldiers, destroyed our homes and yet you still see good in them!" Santos said mocking William Lennox.

"With all due respect General Santos, both you and I have watched the broadcast of the invasion. Those Transformers were fighting each other. I think they're divided into factions and one is trying to save us!" Lennox explained.

"Save us?" Santos begins laughing.

"You are so naïve….so good-hearted. Have you ever thought about the fact that they're merely fighting just because one faction wants this planet as a prize and is trying to wipe out the competition?" Santos asked.

"Maybe but"

"No buts (Santos grabs Lennox by his uniform and pins to a wall, making direct eye contact with the soldier.) Listen to me, I do not care about their factions, I do not care about their goals all I care about is this planet staying human do you understand?" Santos lectured Lennox with a threatening tone in his voice.

"Yes…I understand!" Lennox reluctantly says as Santos lets go of Lennox's uniform causing him to drop down to the ground.

"You are playing god Santos (Santos who was walking away looks back with a mad look in his face), nothing good happens to those who play god!" Lennox says to Santos metaphorically predicting his fate, Santos tried to forget the insult but turned around and growled. He proceeded to walk away and even pushed some of his men to the ground in order to calm himself.

Chicago, Illinois:

The Midwest part of the U.S has become a somewhat landing platform for the Transformers primarily in Chicago, three recent newcomers that were part of the Nexus-Nebula scout team have landed on Earth in search of Optimus, two of which are the former Constructicons turned Autobots "Canopy" and "Minedigger". Canopy and Minedigger had recently scanned Earth-based vehicles, Canopy was a yellow dump truck while Minedigger was a yellow Caterpillar excavator. They drove around the ruins of Chicago searching for their lost partner or any other Autobots that might be around their area.

"You picking up anything Trench?" Canopy asked referring to Minedigger by his nickname.

"I'm picking up five Autobot signals and there is this strange one really close to us—Oh no!" Minedigger said deeply concerned about the other energon signal.

"Trench what is it?" Canopy asked.

"Canopy don't move a gear!" Minedigger said telling Canopy to turn off his engine and stay very still, suddenly a blue and white Mustang police car drove in front of them seemingly ignoring until the police car stopped in its tracks and slightly turned to face the two vehicles. The police car flashed a beam of light on them and noticed their Autobot insignias.

"Trench—I think he noticed us!" Canopy whispered.

"Shut up!" Minedigger loudly whispered back. The police car then turned off the light and hid it under the hood of its car.

"Well Autobots…today is your lucky day!" The police car spoke and drove off sparing the two Autobots' lives.

"Trench I'm scared!" Canopy said transforming into robot mode.

"Hey, hey Canopy calm down, listen I will go patrol the perimeter I need you to wait here and hide!" Minedigger said transforming into robot mode.

"Hide? But how?" Canopy asked.

"Remember that thing you used to do in the Nebula system where you disguised yourself with a pile of rubble?" Minedigger asked.

"Yeah!" Canopy replied.

"Well do the same thing right now!" Minedigger said.

"But Trench, I have an implant on my back that only attracts metal objects, I highly doubt I will be able to blend in!" Canopy said.

"Hey! Metal is simply just an element, trust me you can blend in!" Minedigger said running away from Canopy to go on patrol.

"Trench? TRENCH?" The scared Canopy called for his friend but got no response.

"Okay, you got this Canopy. Like Trench said…..metal is simply an element!" Canopy said activating the magnetic cog on his back causing multiple debris to latch onto his back.

"HOLY SCRAP IT WORKED!" Canopy said amazed by how debris that didn't seem metallic became attached to his back.

"WHO'S THERE?!" A TRF soldier yelled close to Canopy's location.

"Oh scrud!" Canopy said, he then proceeded to lean down to the ground and bury his limbs and head into the ground.

"Show yourself!" The TRF commander proceeded to yell.

"Hey you (The commander points at the soldiers behind him) guard this perimeter!"

"Yes sir!"

"The rest of you….with me!" The Commander said to the remaining soldiers.

"Search this pile of rubble for any sign of Transformers!" The commander said pointing at the large debris in the middle of the alley that is connected to Canopy's back. Suddenly Canopy started rising from the ground and began firing at the TRF soldiers.

"HOLY SHIT!" A TRF soldier yelled.

"We need more firepower (The commander pulls one of his soldiers to his face.) Get the Sentries here NOW!" The Commander growled at the soldier.

"Yes sir!" The soldier moved back and turned away from the commander and requested two TRF Sentries.

"We are under attack! The target is hostile, WE NEED SENTRIES UP IN THIS BITCH NOW!" The soldier yelled.

"Two TRF Sentries standing by!" A pilot responding flying a helicopter that is carrying the Sentries with it. The helicopter dropped the Sentries to the ground who immediately activated and walked towards Canopy.

"NO! STOP! I just want a home!" Canopy yelled begging for mercy while firing back at the TRF soldiers.

"FIRE THE ROCKETS!" The commander yelled. Two TRF soldiers fired sabot missiles from their RPGs (which were specifically designed for taking down Transformers) at Canopy. The first missiles hit Canopy's right forearm causing it to separate from its socket with his gun at hand, the second missiles hit Canopy's right upper arm after his forearm was severed. Canopy kneeled to the ground with his hand covering his right shoulder socket.

"Any last words "Alien"? The commander asked with an evil grin in his face.

"We just want a home!" Canopy said once more trying to reason with the soldiers but to no avail.

"Open fire!" The commander said making all of his soldiers and the Sentries fire multiple sabot rounds at Canopy which kept weakening him. Canopy turned around to cover his chest and head from the firepower but a TRF Sentry's bullet pierced through the debris on Canopy's back and burst open his chest. Canopy fell to the ground from the impact and started leaking green energon from his mouth. The commander began slowly walking towards the dying Canopy to get a look at his face.

"Minedigger old friend…..I…failed!" Canopy said before his optics faded and his head dropped to the ground. Canopy succumbed to his wounds and died in front of all the soldiers all of which showed no remorse.

"Well that was easy!" The commander said walking away from Canopy's corpse.

"Sir we just picked up more energon signals, two of them are close to us and four more are coming our way!" A TRF soldier explained to the commander.

"Take them out!" The commander said as all the TRF soldiers rushed to either one of the six energon signals. The police car known by the Optimus Prime and his team as Barricade drives by Canopy's corpse to investigate. Barricade transformed into robot mode and sat down right next to Canopy's body and started gently rubbing his forehead.

"Poor treacherous Constructicon…I hope you realize that your death will not be in vain for you are still useful-(Barricade began laughing). You're going to make a wonderful bargaining chip!" Barricade said looking down at Canopy's face. In Ohio where Cade and the Autobots are currently at, TRF soldiers were driving by a road that lead to the Optimus Prime's and the other Autobots' current hideout. They are soon stopped when Grimlock jumped out of the ground and crushed the vehicle with the soldiers inside. Grimlock fell to the floor and started sliding and flipping over from the collision. Slug, Scorn and Strafe then later proceeded to burst out of the ground and destroy more vehicles except for one that was merely flipped over with both passengers alive but one of them was badly injured.

"Hey Desi you alright?" The TRF soldier asked his partner.

"My arm's broken, but I think I'll live!" Desi replied spitting blood and gripping on to his left arm. The soldiers then turned away from his friend and looked up at the sky where Strafe was flying. "It's payback time!" The soldiers said walking to the back of his vehicle and pulling out a grenade launcher.

"Sayonara you son of a bitch!" The soldier whispered and proceeded to fire his grenade launcher at Strafe. Being a two-headed Pteranodon, Strafe's body was frailer especially on the wings and chest. The soldiers kept on firing at Strafe's chest until the Dinobot started falling. Grimlock quickly noticed his friend being injured and proceeded to crush the soldier with his foot. The three Earth-bound Dinobots watched helplessly as Strafe transformed into his robot mode in mid-air and crashed to the ground sustaining more injuries.

"STRAFE!" Scorn transformed into his robot mode and ran towards his best friend, Slug followed Scorn and transformed into robot mode and slid to the ground beside Strafe. Strafe's optics began to flicker in front of Scorn who was holding on Strafe's right hand and sitting beside him while Slug stood right next to the two and simply looked down at the dying Dinobot with sadness in his helmet-like face.

"You're going to be okay old friend!" Scorn said trying to comfort Strafe. Grimlock began walking towards Strafe and kneeled to the ground placing his right hand on Strafe's burst open chest.

"Well?" Scorn asked, Grimlock at first was reluctant to reply but knew he had to break it to Scorn.

"I'm sorry!" Grimlock quietly said to Scorn causing the Dinobot to panic.

"NO! NO! I'm not letting you die on me Strafe!" Scorn began yelling.

"RATCHET?! RATCHET!? WE NEED MEDICAL HELP IMMEDIATELY STRAFE HAS BEEN….." Scorn tried contacting Ratchet for medical help, but Strafe using all his remaining strength grabbed Scorn's head and moved it closer to him.

"Ti—Ti—Till…All…Are one!" Strafe said his first words to Scorn.

"Scorn what is it?" Ratchet responded to Scorn's transmission.

"SCORN REPORT!" Ratchet kept yelling.

"No…No!" Scorn kept crying out as Strafe succumbed to his wounds and died in front of everyone.

"Scorn what is it? REPORT!" Ratchet proceeded to yell at Scorn through the comm-link.

"NO! NO! WAKE UP STRAFE WAKE UP!" Scorn yelled trying to wake Strafe up.

"SLUG GRAB HIM!" Grimlock ordered to grab Scorn and pull him away from Strafe.

"I HAVE TO HELP HIM! I HAVE TO HELP HIM!" Scorn kept crying out but Slug wouldn't let go.

"HEY! HEY! LOOK AT ME!" Slug yelled at Scorn. Scorn quickly looked at Slug.

"I'm…so sorry!" Slug said mourning Strafe as well.

"No, No please….This can't be happening!" Scorn began crying but is unable to physically shed a tear like humans do.

"Grimlock what happened? Why is Scorn not responding?" Ratchet contacted Grimlock demanding an answer from him.

"There is nothing you can do for us now doctor—Strafe is now one with the Allspark!" Grimlock replied to Ratchet.

"Oh Primus!" Ratchet replied back with a shocked tone in his voice.

"I'll get Hound and Optimus to escort you back to base!" Ratchet informed Grimlock.

"Strafe will have an honorable burial for his dedication to the Autobot cause!" Optimus said to Grimlock and ended up the transmission as the Dinobots waited on the road for help to arrive.

Back in Chicago. Minedigger continues searching for his second Autobot companion and the other four Autobots he found using his energon detector. He hid behind a few buildings trying to avoid the TRF but a Sentry soon picks up on his energon signal and fires at the building Minedigger was hiding behind, Minedigger falls to the ground and is cornered by the Sentries but suddenly, Bumblebee crashes through a building right next to the Sentry and jumps on top of it pulling out it's turrets and blowing it up instantly with his plasma cannon and then jumps off the Sentry as it collapses to the ground.

"I'm tired of people messing with me!" Bumblebee said facing Minedigger.

"Come on Drift there is only one more Sentry left!" Crosshairs yelled driving by the last remaining Sentry. Drift drives behind it and then turns around to face its right leg, Drift transforms into his robot mode and severs the Sentry's right leg off before Crosshairs jumps in front of the Sentry and destroys it. Drift and Crosshairs then walk away from the TRF soldiers and towards Minedigger.

"Are you alright?" Bumblebee asked leaning down to check on Minedigger.

"OPEN FIRE!" A TRF commander yelled.

"LOOK OUT!" Minedigger yelled causing Drift, Crosshairs and Bumblebee to turn around and face the soldiers. Suddenly a blue and black 2015 Ford Mustang GT drove towards the four Autobots and transformed in front of them blocking the TRF's firepower but all the bullets cause his limbs and head to separate from his torso and collapse to the ground seemingly killing him.

"Oh Primus!" Bumblebee said.

"Wait for it!" Minedigger said to Bumblebee, Drift and Crosshairs. Suddenly the Autobot's severed arms begin to twitch.

"What the hell?" The soldier says to himself before one of the Autobot's severed arms grabs the soldier and crushes him to death. After killing the soldier, the Autobot continued to re-assemble himself in front of the humans and the Autobots and as soon as he finished re-assembling, he made direct eye contact with the humans.

"Hello there humans…The name is Break-Apart!" Break-Apart introduces himself to the TRF soldiers.

"You know why they call me Break-Apart?" Break-Apart asked but the humans didn't respond.

"Because I literally…BREAK-APART!" Break-Apart shouted and started firing at the humans, killing a few and causing the rest to retreat. Crosshairs and Drift were happy to see Break-Apart but Bumblebee was simply shocked since he never met the Autobot.

"I'm here guys! I'm he—"Hot Rod drove towards the Autobots and transformed into robot mode.

"Uh…who's this?" Hot Rod asked.

"I don't know him either Hot Rod!" Bumblebee said.

"That's because Break-Apart and Trench, the Autobot behind you left Cybertron in the middle of the Great War!" Crosshairs said walking towards Break-Apart.

"Left Cybertron?" Bumblebee said in confusion.

"Break-Apart and Trench were part of the Nexus-Nebula Scout Team!" Drift explained.

"Nexus? Nebula? WHAT?" Hot Rod asked just as confused as Bumblebee was.

"The Nexus-Nebula Scout Team was an interstellar scout team that traveled to both the Nexus and Nebula systems to make peace with any metallic beings living in their solar systems!" Minedigger got up and explained.

"Optimus sent us back to those systems so then we could ask those metallic beings for their assistance but Megatron sent Sixshot and his Injustice Division to hunt us down and destroy us both and the metallic beings native to the Nexus and Nebula systems!" Break-Apart explained to Bumblebee.

"Sixshot? Is he still alive?" Hot Rod asked.

"We don't know, we fired at his ship and it crashed onto the planet "Anubis" in the Nexus system but we don't know if he and his entire crew survived or not!" Break-Apart explained to Hot Rod unaware of whether Sixshot survived or not.

"Why you ask?" Break-Apart asked.

"No reason really!" Hot Rod replied.

"Okay! So Trench…where's Canopy?" Break-Apart asked Minedigger.

"Oh uh, I left him behind I told him to attach some debris to him and camouflage!" Minedigger explained.

"Do you still know where he is?" Break-Apart asked.

"Yeah I still remember. Follow me guys!" Minedigger said transforming into his excavator form and driving to Canopy's location but little did he know that his close companion passed away during his absence.

"I guess we should follow him!" Crosshairs said.

"Very wise!" Drift replied to Crosshairs and both Autobots proceeded to transform into their vehicle modes and follow Minedigger.

"So Break-Apart….can you explain how you are able to separate your limbs and re-assemble yourself?" Bumblebee asked Break-Apart wanting to know he can dis-assemble and re-assemble himself.

"Oh that, I was part of a special breed of scouts known as the Disassemblers, we all could do that but I'm sadly the last member of that breed!" Break-Apart explained before transforming into his vehicle mode and driving after Crosshairs and Drift, Bumblebee and Hot Rod then accepted his explanation and transformers following the four Autobots. They arrive at Canopy's location but what they notice upsets everyone including Minedigger.

"Canopy?" Minedigger said in shock as he watched Barricade sitting beside Canopy's corpse.

"I'm deeply sorry for your friend Autobot!" Barricade said to Minedigger.

"You Decepticon filth! (Minedigger transforms into robot mode and began walking towards Barricade.) YOU KILLED MY FRIEND!" Minedigger yelled charging at the Decepticon enforcer. Barricade gets up and punches Minedigger in the face knocking the Autobot of his feet.

"TRENCH!" Break-Apart yelled running towards Minedigger.

"What did you do to Canopy Barricade?" Break-Apart angrily asked.

"Don't worry about him Break-Apart, I'll tear his spark out!" Bumblebee said grabbing his hammer and preparing to swing at Barricade but Barricade quickly grabs it.

"I did not kill Canopy!" Barricade said to the Autobots.

"But I can lead you to his killers!" Barricade said to the Autobots trying to make a deal with them.

"You? Lead us? What makes you think we will trust you Decepticon?" Crosshairs asked as Bumblebee began walking back.

"Most of my Decepticon friends are being held prisoner by TRF. Mohawk, Hooligan, Nitro and a few others are inside TRF's headquarters awaiting their sentence!" Barricade explained.

"What sentence?" Drift asked.

"Death!" Barricade says to the Autobots.

"TRF is planning to execute them once the rest of us are captured or killed off!" Barricade explained.

"My brothers will be used as a message to any Transformer that plans to arrive to Earth!" Barricade explained.

"So you need our help to free your friends? NO WAY… that is not going to happen!" Hot Rod said to Barricade.

"If you help me I will literally be leading you to TRF's current headquarters, I will help you destroy it and kill off their leader but you will have to assist me in freeing the imprisoned Decepticons!" Barricade kept trying to persuade the Autobots to help him.

"They were once your brothers if I'm not mistaken—as was I, Autobots!" Barricade said.

"I can't trust him, he still has a grudge against me for killing Stockade!" Bumblebee said.

"Like we have a choice Bumblebee, he will be leading us to TRF!" Crosshairs said for once being reasonable.

"We take out their leader, we won't have to worry about them anymore and we can focus on finishing off the Decepticons, rebuilding our home and defeating Quintessa if she ever comes back!" Drift explained. It took a while for Bumblebee to decide since he has a blood-thirsty rivalry with Barricade.

"UGH—FINE!" Bumblebee reluctantly came to his senses and decided to aid Barricade.

"It's a deal (Bumblebee and Barricade proceeded to shake hands) Decepticon creep!" Bumblebee whispered so then Barricade wouldn't hear him.

"Follow me Autobots, we are going to Wisconsin!" Barricade said transforming into his police car form and driving off with Minedigger, Break-Apart, Bumblebee, Hot Rod, Drift and Crosshairs following him.

"Drift to Optimus can you hear me?" Drift contacted Optimus through the comm-link while traveling with Barricade and the other five Autobots.

"This Optimus. Report!" Optimus responded.

"We have encountered the Decepticon, Barricade and are currently heading to TRF headquarters with him!" Drift explained.

"You are doing WHAT?" Optimus asked.

"I don't have time to explain just get to Wisconsin and bring everybody!" Drift said.

"Understood Drift…Prime out!" Optimus replied ending the transmission.

"Did you seriously just contact Optimus?" Barricade asked.

"Just in case you start attacking us right away!" Drift replied.

"You don't trust me? I don't blame you!" Barricade said to Drift. After hours of driving, both Barricade and the Autobots make it to TRF headquarters.

"Alright, so here's the plan! Bumblebee, Hot Rod and Trench….."

"Will you bots stop calling me that for Primus sake?" Minedigger angrily whispered.

"Will distract the TRF soldiers outside! Break-Apart you will dis-assemble yourself and sneak inside to disable the security cams and set off the explosives!"

"Got it!" Break-Apart replied.

"Crosshairs, Drift—you two will help me free the Decepticons!" Barricade said giving all the Autobots their instructions.

"Good grief!" Crosshairs said.

"Come on Autobots, move out, MOVE OUT!" Barricade said as all the Autobots ran off to start and complete their tasks.

"Hey what's that?" A TRF soldier outside said pointing at Bumblebee, Hot Rod and Minedigger.

"Transformers? ATTACK!" Another TRF soldier yelled firing at the Autobots. While the soldiers were distracted, Break-Apart separated his arms from his body and made them crawl inside where he planted explosives and disabled both the security cameras and the alarms.

"General Santos, A few of our men have spotted three Transformers outside the base!" Lennox said reporting to Santos.

"What?" Santos asked.

"Get all the men outside immediately!" Santos said to Lennox, grabbing his weapons and leaving his office.

"Yes sir!" Lennox replied.

"Man I hate that guy!" Lennox's best friend Robert Epps said standing behind Lennox.

"I know but the good news is—soon we won't have to deal with his bullshit anymore!" Lennox said to Epps.

"Man I hate these cells!" Onslaught said.

"SHUT THE HELL UP, ALIEN!" A TRF guard yelled at Onslaught who was inside his cell with Nitro.

"YOU SHUT IT!" Onslaught yelled back at the guard.

"Don't worry about him Onslaught, he's always grumpy—isn't that right Enrique?" Nitro said saying the guard's name out loud.

"Oh don't act like I don't know anything about you…. (Nitro started laughing.) I know where you live Enrique, say hello to your wife for me!" Nitro started mocking Enrique. Enrique then responded by giving Nitro the finger.

"Okay the security system has shut down and the explosives are set!" Break-Apart reported to Crosshairs.

"What did he say?" Barricade asked Crosshairs.

"He said mission accomplished!" Crosshairs replied.

"Great now let's get inside!" Barricade said as he along with Crosshairs and Drift snuck inside the cellblock where all the Decepticons were locked up.

"Hey!" Epps said to a TRF soldier.

"I know you hate Santos as much as I do but I have some good news for you—we are taking over this task force!" Epps said to the TRF soldier.

"Tell everybody that hates him to take out anybody loyal to him while we deal with Santos!" Epps said.

"Sure thing Epps!" The TRF soldier said running to the cellblock and firing at the soldiers loyal to Santos. During the sudden treachery. Barricade, Crosshairs and Drift broke into the cellblock and started freeing the Decepticons that were locked in which included Nitro, Onslaught, Hooligan, Mohawk, Berserker, Scrapper, Long Haul, Overload, Rampage and Hightower.

"Deadlock?" Onslaught said noticing that Drift was rescuing him.

"Don't call me that Onslaught, I haven't changed a bit!" Drift said to Onslaught as he broke open Onslaught's cell freeing both him and both Long Haul and Nitro at the same time. Mohawk, Hooligan, Berserker and the remaining Constructicons are the last ones to be freed.

"Barricade, where's Megatron?" Long Haul asked.

"He is at our new Decepticon base in Wisconsin!" Barricade answered Long Haul with Crosshairs and Drift standing behind him and eavesdropping on the conversation.

"Megatron is around here somewhere?" Drift whispered to Crosshairs.

"QUIET! I'm trying to hear what he is saying!" Crosshairs whispered back to Drift.

"My brothers…Shockwave has instructed me to rescue you and I have a very important assignment for you!" Barricade said to his freed Decepticon brothers.

"I'm scared now!" Crosshairs said.

"This facility is rigged to blow so before we escape, my assignment for you is to—KILL THE AUTOBOTS!" Barricade says turning around and pointing at Drift and Crosshairs.

"Oh Scrap!" Drift says as all the originally imprisoned Decepticons walks towards Drift and Crosshairs. Suddenly Onslaught is shot by an RPG missile and collapses. Drift and Crosshairs turn around and see Santos with an RPG aiming at both them and the Decepticons.

"ENOUGH FIGHTING, ALIENS!" Santos said to the Autobots and Decepticons.

"Time for your judgement!" Santos says with his finger on the trigger but he is ambushed from behind by Lennox who grabs his head and slits his throat with a knife killing him instantly.

"You two!" Lennox points at the two Autobots.

"GET DOWN!" Lennox yells throwing a mine at the Decepticons and as Barricade starts to get up he accidentally steps on it causing it to go off.

"Alright while those guys are down…help me remove the explosives!" Lennox said asking the Autobots for help.

"You are TRF—why are you helping us?" Crosshairs asked.

"Because I've seen footage of you, you are fighting for our planet and for that I wish to help you!" Lennox said offering the Autobots an alliance.

"Uh great, more humans!" Crosshairs said with an annoyed tone in his voice.

"Deal!" Drift said to Lennox surprising Crosshairs.

"Break-Apart! Disarm the explosives!" Drift contacted Break-Apart.

"But Barricade said—"

"Barricade betrayed us, do it now!" Drift said.

"Okay!" Break-Apart replied and started disarming all the bombs in the building. Suddenly the Decepticons get back up and burst out of the building before the Autobots' and the humans' very eyes.

"STOP THEM! OPEN FIRE!" Lennox immediately took command of TRF and ordered them to fire at the retreating Decepticons. Long Haul transformed into robot mode as a reaction to the firepower and got cornered by Drift and Crosshairs. Crosshairs jumped in front of Long Haul and fired at his chest but Long Haul didn't go down but then a bullet from a Sentry brought him down. Long Haul started getting up but Drift jumped on his back and impaled his sword through Long Haul's mouth and began pushing deeper through his skull. Long Haul then died from the stab.

"That was too easy!" Crosshairs said mocking Long Haul for not putting up a fight.

"The rest of the Decepticons are escaping we need to go after them now!" Drift yelled but before their very eyes Optimus and the other Autobots drove by and transformed in front of them.

"Drift report!" Optimus said.

"Well Sensei, I got good news and bad news!" Drift said.

"Give me the good news!" Optimus said.

"Well the good news is—"

"The good news is that you now have some new allies!" Lennox said walking towards Optimus.

"You? You are a TRF soldier if I'm not mistaken!" Optimus said to Lennox.

"I killed the original leader of our task force and took his place, we are now dedicated to fighting alongside you!" Lennox explained, Optimus then leaned down to get a good look at Lennox and was able to tell from the look of his face that he wasn't lying.

"You seem to be honest, you have yourself an alliance General Lennox!" Optimus said to William Lennox.

"That's great to hear!" Lennox replied to Optimus.

"Optimus?" Break-Apart drove towards Optimus with Bumblebee, Hot Rod and Minedigger following him.

"Is that really you?" Break-Apart asked transforming into robot mode.

"Break-Apart old friend….you're alive!" Optimus said happy to see his old friend.

"Prime, we don't have time for a reunion! Barricade has escaped with many Decepticons and are heading to Megatron's current base!" Crosshairs explained.

"Megatron's?" Optimus asked.

"Yes!" Crosshairs replied. Optimus then turned around to see the direction in which the Decepticons drove through.

"You don't know when to quit do you Megatron?" Optimus whispered to himself.

"Dino! Take Bumblebee and Jolt with you and follow those tire-tracks and when you have found Megatron's base you will report back!" Optimus said assigning Dino to a very important mission.

"Will do Prime, come on you two roll out!" Dino transformed into vehicle mode and drove off with Jolt and Bumblebee following him.

"GOOD LUCK TO YOU THREE!" Optimus yelled to the three Autobots.

"May Primus have mercy on their sparks!" Optimus said worried about sending them on this dangerous mission.

TO BE CONTINUED…..

And that was Chapter 26 hope you guys enjoyed it and also this might be a bit of a spoiler but Hot Rod asking about Sixshot is kind of a foreshadowing. Anyways let me know what you guys thought off Break-Apart (my new OC) and Minedigger/Trench (the Autobot resembling Scrapper from The Last Knight) and stay tuned for Chapter 27.
