Chapter 1: The Race

Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Jazz, Crosshairs and their Vehibots were driving and travelling across the a long highway. They were searching out for any sign of planet's locals, so they can find and use the ship to leave the planet and regroup with their comrades and continue their mission.

However, during their travelling across the long highway, the Autobots found no signs of locals, city or even village. Nothing but a large desert wasteland. They continued their driving on the long road, though they often come across to a dead end, roadblocks, wrong turns, potholes, burnt marks and damages on the road, wreckage and even dangerous yet twisted routes they have come across.

Autobots have managed to drive and escape the spinning yet twisted rollercoaster's tracks-like. They quickly transformed into their robot modes. They're now taking a break after their long travel. They're now sitting down on couple of rocks.

"This is getting us to nowhere!" Crosshairs groaned in frustration before throw the rock at the big rock, "This is sucks, yo!"

Sideswipe sighed, "Hate to admit it, guys. Crosshairs got the point. We don't even know where the heck we're going." He turned and looked around of his surroundings, "We haven't found the locals or even the city. The highway looked badly damaged and total bust too. Looks like we're on the dead planet..."

Bumblebee beeped in annoyance, "Come on, guys! We can't give up now! We've gotta be close to a city or local. I know we're almost there!"

"Give it a rest, Bee. We'll never be there, you know," Crosshairs exclaimed in annoyance, "We are nowhere to a city or even a crowd! We might as well be dead!"

Sideswipe sighed, "Well, it won't hurt to give one more try."

"I'm with this guy and Bee," Jazz said proudly as he made some funky spin before jumped and landed on the ground hard. He then approached to the mountain peak. He then climbed up it, "I'll take the peak to see if we're close to the city or not."

Bumblebee beeped, "I wanna check it out too."

Jazz laughed amusingly, "Alright. Don't try to leak the transfusion fluid again."

"Hey!" Bumblebee beeped angrily and annoyingly, "I'm not a kid, you know!"

Jazz and Bumblebee climbed up all the way to top of rocked mountain, where they can see everything. And to their surprise and relief, they have found a long highway was leading straight to a large shiny capital city, along with some dome cities. They both whistled in surprise and amazement.

Bumblebee beeped happily, "We finally found the city, Jazz!"

Jazz scoffed, "You could say that again." He turned and climbed down, "Come on. Let's tell the rest about the city. They're about to go nuts!"

Jazz and Bumblebee climbed all the way down from the mountain's peak. They reported to the rest of their friends about what they have found.

"You sure you're not pulling my tailpipe?" Crosshairs asked in annoyance. Bumblebee shook his head happily. He scoffed, "Well, it's about damn time!"

Sideswipe nodded, "Yeah! We'll be home free soon!"

"Then, let's get a move on now," Bumblebee beeped happily.

"Yeah. Just leave the talking to me, Bee." Jazz said calmly. Bumblebee turned and looked at him. He smiled uneasily, "Yeah. No offense, kid. But you're not good in negotiation. And the last thing we want is troubles."

"And of course, you don't have voice too," Crosshairs joked, making angry Bumblebee to punch on his face. He yelped in pain, "Ow! What did I say?!"

Sideswipe sighed, "Nice going, bozo."

"Let's roll, Autobots." Jazz commanded firmly.

And just as Jazz got on the highway road, something just went pass and scared him off. He got dropped and fell on his back on the ground. The rest of Autobots quickly came and helped him out. They then witnessed many Cybertronian sport cars and trucks were racing wildly and ragingly on the road. This surprised and shocked the group.

"Wow! What the heck was that?!" Crosshairs asked in shock and confusion.

"No idea..." Jazz said in shock and concern. He coughed a bit while dusting off his dusts, "One thing I'm sure of - this planet is not dead. We've got locals alright."

"But who the heck are they?" Sideswipe asked curiously and concern.

"No idea. But I'm gonna not sitting out of this one," Bumblebee beeped excitedly and happily. He transformed into a Cybertronian Camaro, "I'm gonna join the race and find out!"

Jazz gasped, "Bumblebee, don't you dare!"

VROOM! Bumblebee drove off and joined the race at once, causing his turbo engine launched out some smokes on his comrades. They all yelped and coughed heavily. As soon as the black smokes dispersed, the Autobots found Bumblebee has drove off already.

Crosshairs groaned in annoyance, "I really hate when he does that!"

"Well, that's Bee. He loved racing. He was the youngest champion in Cybertron's Speed Race," Sideswipe said amusingly before laughed, "He can never forget about it, guys. He missed it. That's why he rushed off to have the moment in it."

Jazz sighed, "Miss it or not, he'd better not get us into trouble. This is another planet, not Cybertron."

"Well, we'd better get going now!" Sideswipe said amusingly as he transformed into Cybertronian Silver Car. While driving off, he shouted, "See you in the finish line!"

Jazz scoffed as he transformed into his Cybertronian Groovy Car before drove off, "No way you could outrun me that easily!"

Crosshairs groaned in annoyance, "I'd swear that kid's gonna get us killed."

Crosshairs transformed into his Cybertronian Greenish Car and drove off to chased and catch up with his friends. The Vehibots also transformed into their blue armored Cybertronian Sport Cars. They followed their leaders now.

Like the Autobots, Barricade's Team was driving across the desert wasteland, searching and locating the capital city for shelter and ship. During their traveling across the desert, the Decepticons got some issues and problems such as Bonecrusher complained angrily of getting lost, Mohawk was getting crazy and paranoid as he wanted to scream out of his frustration, and also Breakdown was getting tired and exhausting. Barricade remained firm and calm as he continued leading the team.

The Decepticons quickly halted their positions, upon hearing a loud noise of cars' screeching the wheels, bursting out the turbo engines and even clashing and crushing. They halted and transformed into their robot modes. They moved to the large rock while hiding behind it. They then witnessed cars racing across dangerous yet twisted highways and routes.

"What the heck are this?" Breakdown asked in confusion.

Mohawk shrugged, "No idea." He then looked at some cars were driving through the rollecoaster's route and spiral highway. He groaned as his face turned into green, "Seeing this race makes me sick. I don't feel so good now!"

"Hey, look over there!" Bonecrusher shouted as he pointed at the highway, where Bumblebee's Team was driving and heading to the capital city. He groaned as he burst some steam from his exhaust pipes, "Autobots! Let's get them!"

"Halt your positions!" Barricade ordered firmly. Everyone looked at him. He took a deep breathe and released it, "We follow them. But do not engage them!"

"Are you kidding me?!" Bonecrusher asked angrily and annoyingly.

"You wanna go toe-on-toe again?!" Barricade demanded in fury. This made Bonecrusher to back off. He scoffed, "That's what I thought. Remember, do not engage them. We just observe and learn what this planet has and what Autobots are planning. Decepticons, let's move out."

Barricade's Team transformed into their vehicle modes. They drove off towards the capital city at once while keeping their distance from making contact with the Autobots or locals.

Driving on the long highway route, Bumblebee, in his vehicular mode, has managed to catch up with the rest of strange Cybertronian Racing Cars. He tried to talk with them, but they evaded him or even tried to crush him for getting in their ways. Moving to the front, he then came across to a crimson armored sport car, an orange-black sport car with blazing yellowish flames on it, and also dark greenish pick-up truck.

Bumblebee honked out loud, "Hey! Hey! You three! I need to talk with you!"

"Che diavolo!" The crimson sport car demanded angrily, "What is wrong with that amateur?!"

"Who cares, mate?! I'm winning this race!" The orange-black sport car shouted proudly and arrogantly, "No way I'm gonna let some bot stopping me! Not a chance! I'm gonna win this cup!"

The greenish pick-up truck used his left side mirror to look at the yellow car. He hummed calmly and firmly, "He doesn't seem he's around here... Maybe we should talk with him."

Orange-black colored sport car scoffed amusingly, "No can do, old timer! I'm gonna win it!"

"Il monello!" The crimson sport car exclaimed angrily, "I will not let you win while I'm still around!"

As soon as both sport cars drove off at once, the greenish pick-up truck sighed, "Kids..." He turned and looked at Bumblebee, "Sorry, kid. In this race, we don't talk slow! We drive fast! Catch up with us and win the race if you can. Then, we'll talk."

"W-What?! Wait!" Bumblebee asked in surprised. The pick-up truck drove off as well. He groaned in beeping tone, "Great..." He turned and found his friends managed to pick up a pace and met up with him. He greeted, "Hey, guys!"

"Seriously, Bee. Wouldn't kill you hold still and wait for us?!" Crosshairs asked in annoyance.

Sideswipe nudged Crosshairs' side, "Cool off, Crosshairs!" He then looked at Bumblebee, "What you've got, Bee?"

Bumblebee sighed while beeping, "I was trying to talk with them, but instead, they drove off. They're really into winning the race, you know."

Sideswipe chuckled, "Kinda reminds me of you, Bee. Always jump to win the race."

Bumblebee chuckled in beeping tone, "Yeah. That was good old days."

"Well, if winning the race get their attention, let's groove it, ya'll!" Jazz said happily, "Let's show what we can do!"

Bumblebee smirked, "Yeehaw!"

"Yippee ki yay!" Sideswipe shouted happily and wildly.

Crosshairs groaned, "I'm gonna regret this again..."

The Autobots continued driving towards three racing cars. They have to catch up with three leading racing cars or at least win the race, so they can talk with the locals. However, behind them were more Cybertronian Racing Transports were catching up while ramming and knocking other racers aside. They were catching up with both Autobots and three Racing Cars.

Among wild and rogue racers were a crimson armored motorcycle was driving very fast, followed by a dark crimson armored sport car, black armored giant F1-like Truck, a crimson-black colored demonic car-like and a blue-black colored short car. And their rogue racing troops are dark purple armored racing cars and motorcycles.

"Yo! Boss, who the heck are the losers here?!" The black armored F1 Truck demanded angrily.

"No idea, Crumplezone." The crimson armored motorcycle said dryly and darkly, "But one thing I hate the most is some bots' getting in my way!"

"Do you wish us to handle him, Ransack?" The demonic armored car asked.

Ransack scoffed, "Yeah! Go and teach them a lesson; Shatter! Don't know if they're Override's side or not. Who the scrap cares?! Make sure they stay out of it, so our big gun can take care of them for good!"

"As you wish," Shatter said firmly, "Dropkick, Stinger, with me."

"With pleasure, Shatter," The blue-black armored car - Dropkick said calmly and humbly as he activated and armed with his blasters, "Can't wait to shoot them off."

Dark armored crimson car - Stinger chuckled evilly, "Get ready to get stung by the Stinger!"

Shatter, Dropkick and Stinger drove off while picking up the pace with the other racers. Ransack and Crumplezone remained behind while still driving and knocking some racers aside.

Contacting his allies, Ransack spoke, "Motormaster! It's time. Don't screw it up again!"

"Will do..." Motormaster the dark grayish-purple colored armored giant robot spoke in deep yet scary voice.

The giant warrior deactivated his com-link. He turned and looked at the rest of his gang - dark yellow-purple armored slick warrior, dark bluish-reddish armored scrawny soldier, a large bulky armored grayish warrior and his twin is dark bluish-silver armored warrior.

"Alright, Stunticons! It is time!" Motormaster said firmly, "We will show them what we're made of! Crush any of them for getting in our way! No mercy!" He turned to dark yellow-purple colored armored sick warrior, "Dragstrip! Is everything prepared?"

Dragstrip scoffed, "All is ready, boss! Count on it!" He nudged dark bluish-reddish scrawny soldier, "You'd better don't screw it up, Wildbreak. I'm counting on you, you know!"

Wildbreak yelped in fear, "Got it, Dragstrip! Will do my best." He turned and looked nervously at the twins, "As long those two don't get us into trouble. Heatseeker likes firing missiles and even Slashmark always wanted to get some attention."

Slashmark scoffed and snorted angrily, "You dare mock me, peasant?! Though I get the attention of my appearance, I fight them with style!"

"Scrap it, Slashmark! Just blast and blow them up, simple is that!" Heatseeker exclaimed wildly as he armed and readied his missile launchers, "So, let's get going and blow things up now!"

Dragstrip chuckled happily, "Yup. They're ready, boss."

Motormaster groaned, "Honestly. Stunticons, let's roll! To Speedia!"

Motormaster transformed into Cybertronian Armored Truck, followed by both Dragstrip and Wildbreak turned into armored sport cars while Heatseeker and Slashmark changed into forms of armored hummers. They all headed straight to the city now.

During the race, the Autobots managed to catch up with three racing cars, who were still ahead of them. They have now entered the Capital City - Speedia, where they have found the rest of its local sitting and standing on the spectator's seats for supporting and cheering wildly for the racers to win the race. This surprised them a lot.

"Guess we know what happen to the crowd," Sideswipe said amusingly and happily.

Crosshairs grunted, "No kidding! Think the leader at the finish line?"

"Have to be," Sideswipe shouted in agreement.

Bumblebee honked happily, "Then, let's win this game and meet him!"

Jazz laughed, "Loved your spirit, Bee! We're almost to the end! Get ready to bogie!"

VROOM! Shatter, Dropkick, Stinger and some of rogue racing cars are closed to the Autobots. They're activated and armed with their blasters. They're aiming their blasters at the Autobots. The rogue racing cars fired their guns at some of Autobots, killing three troopers.

"Huh?!" Vehibot exclaimed in shock and concern. He then contacted Jazz, "Lieutenant Jazz! We have rogues attacking us!"

"Rogues?! Attacking us for what?!" Jazz asked in shock and concern.

"No idea, sir." Vehibot said in concern, "Seems like they wanted more than just racing! What should we do now?"

Jazz hissed, "Damn it! In the middle of the race? So, not cool!"

Bumblebee beeped, "I'll take care of them. Go ahead and win it!"

And just anyone could react, Bumblebee put his gear into reverse mode. He reversed his car all the way back in knocking Stinger off. He then transformed into his robot mode as he quickly kicked and flipped both Shatter and Dropkick over in blocking the rogue racers from driving and moving.

Rogue racers transformed from their vehicular modes into their robotic modes. Stinger is revealed to be a crimson yet demonic version of Bumblebee with spiked wheels on his back. Shatter revealed herself to be tallest crimson armored Cybertronian with armored engine with wings and her face is a skeletal appearance. Dropkick transformed into a blue armored short warrior has twin doors as his wings and six wing-blades on his back. The rest of rogue racers transformed into black armored Vehicons-like with spikes on their backs and armed with blasters.

Bumblebee whistled in concern as he readied himself for the fight against his newly enemies now. The Rogue Racers surrounded while aimed their blasters at him.

"Well, what do we have here?" Dropkick asked amusingly while looking at Bumblebee. He turned to Stinger, "Hey, Stinger. This kid looked like you. Is he your brother or twin?"

Stinger scoffed angrily, "I'd never had a twin. Even if I have one, I'm expecting him to fight on our side, not against us! I will kill anyone for standing in our way."

"Indeed..." Shatter agreed as she armed with her Dual Blades, "Whoever you are, we will kill you for interfering our plans."

Bumblebee narrowed his eyes firmly, "Whatever your plans, I'm gonna stop it!"

Shatter snickered and giggled amusingly, "For someone so small, you're quite brave yet foolish to think you can stop us!"

"Yeah..." Dropkick snickered in agreement, "Let's rip him apart now!"

Stinger screeched angrily, "Take him down!"

Stinger screeched as he charged while armed with his gauntlet's blade. He swung it at Bumblebee, who easily dodge and evade the attacks while fought back at him for three times. Both of them continued punching at each other for ten times before held each other's arms. He then gave his crimson clone's a headbutt before kicked him off. Dropkick jumped before Bumblebee, whom he slammed a powerful punch on his head twice before grabbed and nudged his kick at the scout's gut. Dropkick held Bumblebee up to finish him off but got headbutt and has his tight shot.

Dropkick groaned in anger as he thrown Bumblebee at Shatter, who grabbed and thrown him to the ground. She began slamming some punches on his head for few times. Shatter gestured her crew to join her to torture and punish Bumblebee wildly and angrily. Bumblebee felt pain on his body yet he endured it while evading and blocking the attacks.

During the race, Sideswipe noticed Bumblebee's struggle against the Rogue Racers. This has made him groaned in anger and concern, "Honestly... Bee! I'm going back!"

Jazz nodded within his vehicular mode, "Watch your six, Sides!"

"Got it!" Sideswipe agreed.

Sideswipe and 10 of his troops turned and headed towards Bumblebee's aid. Both Jazz and Crosshairs continued catching up with three racing cars. They're close to the finish line.

And just before they could reach it, they heard a loud honks from their right direction. Five Stunticons were charging and ramming three racers out of highway. And at the same time, all of them transformed into their robotic modes. Motormaster and his team are facing three robots - a crimson armored assassin with twin arm-blades and winged-like doors on his back; black-orange colored robot with blazing flames on gauntlets, armor and knee pads; and an old man-like dark greenish colored Cybertronian Veteran Soldier stood before them group.

"Stunticons..." The veteran soldier said dryly and annoyingly, "Still up to old tricks, I see..."

"Old Bot Kup. Still a critic, I see." Motormaster said amusingly with a chuckle.

"Well, guess what? You'll never had a chance to win." Kup said firmly and calmly, "As long we're still standing, this race will be righteous side! You can count on it!" He turned and looked at two young Autobots, "Mirage! Rodimus! I hope you're ready for the fight."

An orange-black robot - Rodimus scoffed, "I'm always up to the challenge!"

"Si!" Mirage agreed as he readied his weapon, "Stunticons are about to learn the hard way about what it means to cross the experience racers like us!"

Jazz, Crosshairs and 10 remaining Vehibots have arrived and joined the fight as well. They all transformed into their robot modes as they're ready to fight.

"Mind if we join the gang?" Jazz asked amusingly.

"Really?" Kup asked in surprise. Jazz and even a reluctant Crosshairs nodded firmly. He scoffed in pleasant tone, "You're welcome to join the fight!"

"Hey! Where's that yellow racer?" Rodimus asked curiously, "I thought he was with you."

"Holding off some cheaters," Crosshairs answered as he readied with his twin blasters, "Sideswipe's backing him up now."

"You're kidding me?" Rodimus asked in shock. He then transformed into his sport car, "There's no way I'm gonna let that guy down when we're having a race! See ya!"

As soon as Rodimus drove off to aid Bumblebee, Kup sighed, "Typical lad. Always with the rivalry..."

"Focus here, Kup!" Mirage exclaimed firmly as he armed with his scythes, "We need to deal with them first!"

Wildbreak yelped in fear, "This isn't part of the plan!"

"Gee, you think?!" Dragstrip asked sarcastically.

"Who cares?! I can blow things up!" Heatseeker exclaimed happily.

Slashmark scoffed, "These fools will pay for interference!"

"Well, what are you waiting for?!" Motormaster asked in annoyance. He roared in anger, "Take them down now! The race will be ours!"

Stunticons gave a loud battle cry as they charged and attacked Kup, Mirage and their newly allied friends Autobots. Both sides gave each other a fierce fight. Jazz and Crosshairs fought off both Dragstip and Heatseeker while Kup and Mirage fought both Slashmark and Wildbreak. Motormaster was fighting off the army of Vehibots by punching and firing his blasters at them.

Shatter, Dropkick and Stinger continued punching and kicking Bumblebee for their amusement and entertainment. While they were busy attacking him, Sideswipe and his soldiers have arrived. The silver Cybertronian Car transformed as he slide down and tripped his enemies down. He then got up and helped Bumblebee to stand up.

"Thanks," Bumblebee beeped happily.

"No problem," Sideswipe said happily. He readied with his blades as he found Shatter and her team slowly getting up from the ground. He scoffed, "Many against one? That's hardly fair. Luckily for me, two against many will be enough."

"Make that three against many!" Rodimus exclaimed happily as he transformed and landed on the ground. He readied with his blaster, "Coz I've join the fight."

"Wow! Thanks for the support," Bumblebee beeped happily, "The name's Bumblebee. This is Sideswipe."

Rodimus smiled happily, "Rodimus! Let's see what you're made of, buddy!"

Shatter scoffed, "Adding the numbers to your force means nothing! We still outnumber you!"

Dropkick chuckled sinisterly as he readied with his blaster, "I'm so gonna enjoy this."

"Me too," Stinger agreed while looking at Bumblebee, "I hope you're ready to die, my twin clone!"

Bumblebee beeped angrily, "Bring it on, you cheap knockoff!"

Bumblebee and his team charged and engaged Shatter's team. Vehibots fought against the army of Rogue Racers. Bumblebee battled with Stinger. Rodimus battled with Dropkick. Sideswipe is dealing with Shatter.

Bumblebee and Stinger gave some firm and strong punches at each other, as well as blocking and evading the attacks for a few rounds. The crimson robot struck his punch at the yellow robot, who dodged down and grabbed his hand as he thrown him at the signboard. He charged while readying to launch his punch at him. Unfortunately, Stinger swung his legs in tripping Bumblebee to fall down on the ground hard. He slammed a powerful punch on the yellow bot's head and chest for three times. Bumblebee kicked at his head before jumped and got up from the ground. Both of them continued punching and kicking at each other for a few rounds. They armed and readied with their fists. They both charged and slammed at each other's faces before they got pushed back and dropped on the floor hard.

Rodimus screamed as he tried to slam his punches at Dropkick, who easily and quickly dodge the attacks. And at the same time, Dropkick struck back from behind and below the knee of his. The orange-black robot grew frustrated and annoying as he tried to take the blue robot down. After few rounds have passed, Rodimus became tired and exhausted from chasing and fighting with him. This allowed Dropkick quickly gave a hard kick at his opponent's knee to bend down before launching his multiple punches at orange-black robot. During punching at him, Rodimus quickly grabbed his enemy's fist before giving a headbutt, and then slammed the blue robot on the ground hard. And just before Dropkick could do anything, Rodimus gave a powerful kick in knocking him out.

Both Sideswipe and Shatter screamed wildly and angrily as they struck and clashed their blades at each other fiercely and determinedly for few rounds. They then have their blades clashed while glaring at each other for the moment. Shatter gave a loud battle cry as she thrust her punch at Sideswipe's face, making him to back off. She then slashed her blades at Sideswipe's chest for five times. As she was about to cut him down, Sideswipe blocked the attack before thrust his right blade at her gut, and then kicked her of. He charged and rammed her off. Shatter yelped in pain before landed on the ground hard. She activated and fired her blasters at Sideswipe, who swiftly and quickly dodge the attacks thrice. He then threw his left blade in knocking her blaster off before he charged and rammed her off. He aimed his blade at Shatter's neck.

"Looks like we win!" Sideswipe said confidently.

Shatter scoffed, "Do you believe so?"

And just before Sideswipe could ask, he heard a loud turbo engine passing him and his team. The Autobots found Ransack and Crumplezone have passed them by as they're heading straight to the finish line.

Rodimus gasped, "Ransack! He's gonna win the race! Damn it!"

Shatter laughed amusingly, "Good luck, Throttlebots. You will need it."

Shatter quickly transformed into her vehicular mode. She then honked out loud, attracting the attention and alerting her team. She turned and drove off at once. Dropkick, Stinger and even their rogue racers transformed and followed Shatter to escape. The Autobots regrouped at once.

"What was that about?" Bumblebee asked in concern.

"We've gotta stop Ransack from winning the race!" Rodimus exclaimed in concern.

"Why?" Sideswipe asked in confusion.

Rodimus hissed, "Because whoever win the race, not only become the champion of the race, but also gets both the title of leader and the Planet Cyber Key to rule Velocitron! Today is the Final!"

"Velocitron?!" Sideswipe and Bumblebee asked in confusion and surprise.

"I've gotta go now! I have to win for my team!" Rodimus exclaimed in concern.

Rodimus transformed into his vehicle mode and drove off. Sideswipe and Bumblebee looked at each other for discussion about the latest situation.

"Race? Velocitron? Cyber Planet Key?" Bumblebee asked in concern and confusion, "What was that?"

Sideswipe sighed, "Velocitron is one of Cybertronian Colony during the early Golden Age. And if what Rodimus said is true, then we've gotta help him win it. Once we do that, he can help us prep the ship for us."

Bumblebee hummed thoughtfully, "Good idea. We'd better roll now!"

Sideswipe nodded in agreement as he, Bumblebee and their soldiers transformed into their vehicular modes. They drove off and went after Rodimus to help him win the race.

At the finish line, Jazz's Team was still and also busy fighting off Stunticons. Heatseeker and Dragstrip laughed evilly and crazily as they fired both their blasters and missiles at Jazz and Crosshairs, who dodged and evaded the blasts while shooting back at them. Kup and Mirage fought and dueled with both Slashmark and Wildbreak through combats. Motormaster has finished defeating most of Vehibots. He turned and approached to the Autobots as he came to attack them.

The Autobots noticed the behemoth warrior's coming to them. He roared in anger as he jumped and slammed his fist on the ground, causing a powerful shockwave in pushing them off. He and his Stunticons charged and engaged them. Two Autobots and Throttlebots bravely and determinedly fought back against five Stunticons.

During their fierce fight, Ransack and Crumplezone have just passed the group by. Their passing the group by did not go unnoticed, making Kup and Mirage looked worry and uneasy.

"Damn it! Motormaster and his Stunticons are decoys!" Mirage exclaimed in concern.

Kup hissed, "No! This cannot be!"

"It is," Motormaster said calmly, "We win."

Kup and Mirage screamed in fear as they tried to stop Ransack and Crumplezone, but they were held off by Heatseeker and Wildbreak. Jazz and Crosshairs were busy fighting off both Dragstrip and Slashmark. And at the same time, Motormaster also joined the fight to finish his mission. Ransack and Crumplezone were close to the finish line now.

"I can't believe it..." Ransack said happily, "I'm gonna win it!"

Crumplezone cheered wildly, "Woohoo! Ransack! Ransack! Ransack! He's the best! If he can't do it, then no one can! Go Ransack! And the winner and new leader is Ransack!"

Ransack laughed amusingly, "I loved being the winner!"

"That would be premature, my friend..." The British Accent spoke, scarring off both Ransack and Crumplezone. They looked on his left side, where they found a fine-looking butler-like robot was running besides him. He spoke, "Didn't anyone teach you not to brag until you actually win the race, mate?"

"Yikes! Cogman!" Crumplezone exclaimed in concern. He transformed into a giant black armored bulky warrior with demonic face with large jaw-like chin. He roared, "I'm gonna kill you now!"

"I don't think so!" Cogman grabbed and slammed Crumplezone to the ground before slammed some punches on him to the ground.

And just before Ransack could reach the finish line, he heard a loud turbo engine charging and roaring out loud. He turned and looked back as he found a familiar crimson-white armored sport car. It was coming straight to him.

And just before he could do anything, the car transformed into a female robot worn a crimson helmet with V-Shape. She then skidded and tripped Ransack off. He transformed into a shorter crimson warrior with futuristic helmet and jetpack on his back while slammed on the ground hard.

The female racer landed on the finish line. Above her was a banner signboard flashed brightly in green and revealed its words - 'FINISH!' while honked out loud. The signboard's two poles began to create electrical energies, which shot out and hit each others, thus creating an ancient crimson colored disc-like key. It dropped on Override, who grabbed and held it up high. And at the same time, it also fired the fireworks, making the crowds went wild.

"Damn you, Override!" Ransack snapped in annoyance and anger.

"Oh yeah! Who's the winner?!" Override cheered wildly and happily while standing before the crowd. They gave a loud cheer to her. She turned to Ransack. She smirked, "Looks like I win again, pal. Honestly, Ransack, did you really think that you can try to cheat to win again?" She scoffed, "I mean, seriously, I'm the best and fastest racer alive. Now, I'm the leader."

Ransack groaned in anger, "Don't think this is over! I'll get that title and leadership! Count on it!"

Ransack transformed into his motorcycle mode. He drove off at once, making both Stunticons and Crumplezone to transform and follow him at once. And at the same time, Motormaster groaned in anger to see his teammate ran off. He transformed into his truck before drove off and followed them as well.

Barricade and his team were hiding behind the large rocks. They have observed and watched the whole event. Most of Decepticon Troopers were annoyed and upset that they didn't get the chance to start the fight with Autobots and the locals.

"Game over..." Breakdown commented, "And we didn't start anything, at all..."

"Yeah. We should have attacked them when we have the chance! And now we've wasted it!" Bonecrusher snapped angrily as he glared at Barricade. He continued, "I'd say we do it now!"

Mohawk laughed happily, "Yeah! Let's start killing them all now!"

"No... Not yet... We need an army to help us beat both Autobots and their new friends." Barricade said firmly. He turned his attention to Ransack and his Rogue Racers, who were driving through the wasteland. He hummed thoughtfully and calmly, "And I know who can become our Decepticons of this planet's."

"Wait? What?!" Breakdown asked in surprise.

Mohawk shrugged, "I have no idea..."

Barricade was about to turn but held by Bonecrusher, who growled, "I hope you know what you're doing, Barricade..."

Barricade scoffed, "Don't worry, Bonecrusher. I've got the plan. Just follow my lead."

Barricade transformed into his Cybertronian Armored Police Car. He drove off as he was following after Ransack and his group.

Bonecrusher turned and looked at the rest of his Decepticon Troopers, who shrugged in uncertain. The hunchback Decepticon Warrior growled in annoyance as he transformed into Cybertronian Mine-Sweeping Truck and drove off as well. Breakdown and Mohawk transformed into blue armored truck and scrawny form of motorcycle, along with their soldiers as well. They all followed Barricade now, hoping that he has some plans.

Bumblebee's Team have arrived and regrouped with the rest of their friends at the finish line. They even found Override stood before them. She smiled proudly and happily while waving to the crowd. Sideswipe yelped in surprise upon looking at Override.

"Wow!" Sideswipe whistled in surprise, "By the Allspark! Who's the femme over there?"

"That's Override," Rodimus explained happily, "She's the best racer we ever had among us! And since she won the race, she is the new leader of Velocitron!"

"Wow..." Bumblebee beeped in surprise, "That's awesome..."

Override approached to Bumblebee's Team. She smiled and asked, "Hey guys. So, who's the newcomers? They sure don't look like Velocitronians."

Sideswipe smiled and waved to Override, "Hiya. I'm Sideswipe. Nice to meet ya, babe."

"Excuse me?"

"I mean, my lady! An honor to meet you and congratulate you to be a winner and leader! That was totally awesome! Nice!"

Override looked surprise and amazed, "You think so?" Sideswipe nodded happily. She smiled, "Thanks. Not bad for yourself too, Sideswipe."

Sideswipe sighed happily while his face blushed in red, "She knows my name. That's something..."

"Oh boy..." Crosshairs said in annoyance.

Bumblebee beeped playfully, "Looks like somebot is in love..."

"Anyhow. Four of you looked like that you're not around here," Override said calmly while having her hands held each sides of her waist. Her comrades came and stood behind. She continued, "I'm Override - Leader of Velocitron. The old bot is my drill sergeant - Kup. My spy - Mirage. My butler - Cogman. And also, this new kid - Rodimus or Hot Rod, because that name was his original. We're the Throttlebots of Velocitron."

Jazz and his Autobots bowed humbly and firmly. The lieutenant spoke, "The name's Jazz, that marksman is Crosshairs, our swordsman - Sideswipe, and also our scout Bumblebee. We're Autobots from Planet Cybertron."

Heard the word Jazz has spoken, Throttlebots looked shock and surprise. They all chatted and muttered to each other about the Autobots. It surprised and confused the Autobots.

"What we say?" Bumblebee asked curiously.

Sideswipe shrugged, "I wish I knew, Bee."

"You guys are from Cybertron? Really from Planet Cybertron?" Override asked hopefully.

The Autobots nodded in confirmation. Override panicked in surprise as she panted frantically and wildly. Cogman approached as he gave her a hard slap on her face. She yelped in pain while shaking her head. She took a deep breathe before release it. She thanked her butler.

"Sorry about that, everyone. I'm just surprise and shock about this revelation especially you guys are really here from your home! I've been waiting for this for quite some times." Override said calmly yet happily. It still confuse the Autobots. She cleared her throat, "Autobots from Planet Cybertron! I welcome you all to Velocitron, home of all fastest racers and daredevils, who enjoyed racing, challenging and trying to be fastest guy in this planet especially when it comes to driving. And also, we're also one of Cybertronian Colonies!"

"WHAT?!" Autobots asked in shock and surprise.

"Get out of town!" Sideswipe exclaimed in surprise.

Crosshairs nodded, "Yeah. No way that this is real deal! It's impossible!"

"Believe it or not, it's the real deal," Override said calmly. She approached and patted both Sideswipe and Jazz's shoulders. She smiled, "Follow me, guys. To Speedia's Capital City, we're gonna have some celebration for not my accession to be leader, but your arrival to our home!"

"Ah... Thank you?" Jazz said in uncertainty.

"Kup, Cogman, prepare the feast and celebration!" Override ordered happily. Kup and Cogman bowed humbly before her. They turned and headed off to Capital City. She smiled as she nudged them both happily, "Follow me, guys. I'm gonna show you all around the Velocitron. You're gonna love it."

"Sure. Be my guest," Jazz commented happily.

Override, Mirage and Rodimus led the Autobots to Speedia for a grand tour. Though Autobots weren't uncertain of what's really going on, they go along to find out of what's going on.

"Seriously, what was that?" Bumblebee asked in concern.

Rodimus laughed happily, "Simple. You guys are from Planet Cybertron. We don't get much visitors from your home since our ancestors escaped Quintessons and also Sentinel Zeta Prime's Era."

Bumblebee was in shock and surprise to beep, "N-No way. Velocitronians are Cybertronians..."

Ransack and his rogue racers have escaped. They have arrived at the old abandoned yet ruined factory, which served both base and home to them. After they entered their home's living room, they transformed into their robot modes.

Ransack screamed angrily as he began throwing and destroying everything that he sees. Crumplezone remained outside as he avoided to get in way with his master's temper. Shatter was crossing her arms while leaning against the walls, and her two partners - Dropkick and Stinger were sitting down close to her. Motormaster and his group were standing still while glaring at him.

"How could this happen?!" Ransack demanded angrily, "I was so close to win! What did it go wrong?!"

"I wonder the same thing..." Dropkick muttered in annoyance.

Stinger scoffed, "Typical idiotic Ransack as usual..."

"Quiet..." Shatter shushed her partners. She turned and glared at Ransack, "I can name two things that ruined our plans. These newcomers' interference and some incompetent fool."

"You're right. It was them. It was their fault, and also..." Ransack said dryly and angrily. He turned and glared at Motormaster, "You! You screw it up again!"

"Excuse me?!" Motormaster demanded angrily.

"Yeah! You always argued with m and protest against my order and plans of winning the race! You were holding me back! You wanted to get the glory for yourself, just because you're big and stronger than me. But in reality, you're still an idiot."

"I watch that language if I were you, Ransack. If it not for me rescuing and backing you up, you wouldn't be here at all! Not only that. I took the risks! I took the blame! I protected our group! I'm the one, who do the dirty work! I built the gang! And the only thanks I get is blaming me!"

"That's because you screw up and mess things up! I knew you're trouble the moment I met you! Nothing but trouble because he wants the glory for himself!"

"Don't you mean you wanted the glory for yourself?! Because you're the trouble to our group!"

"I will not let you bully me, Motormaster!" Ransack snapped angrily, "I'm the leader and boss! I can do whatever I want especially you're the big mess!"

"Hey, watch what you're saying, punk!" Dragstrip snapped in anger.

Slashmark nodded, "Indeed. We do not take this insult of yours lightly!"

"I'd say that Motormaster is the best leader, and even better than you!" Heatseeker said firmly, "You should have let us win, instead of just ambushing and holding the rivals off!"

Wildbreak nodded in agreement, "Yeah. That could save a lot of trouble!"

Ransack looked annoyed and frustrated as he screamed in anger, "Just shut up! Shut up!" He groaned in anger as he slammed his fist on the walls hard. He hissed, "There's gotta be a way! I gotta be the leader again!"

"Perhaps, we can help..."

Ransack and his rogue racers turned and found Barricade and his Decepticons entered the living room. They all stood before them.

"Who the heck are you?!" Ransack demanded angrily.

Barricade smirked amusingly, "We're the Decepticons from Planet Cybertron. We're here to help you achieve your goals. Count on it..."
