Questions and Answers(pt 2)-

Amalgamous shifted nervously as the Autobots watched him. Miko was leaning against the cat-walk poles with the other human children, having already told them what was going on.

"Why are you here? On Earth I mean" Bulkhead asked, nervous and hesitant.

"I did not lie about that" Amalgamous shrugged, giving a small smile, "got jumped, gave a guard the slip, hopped into an escape pod, and crash landed."

"What have you lied about?" Bumblebee bleeped.

Amalgamous hummed, tilting his head back to think, "let us see, I kinda stole the Phase Shifter" he shrugged, uncaringly yet sheepish, "but considering it was mine to begin with, I guess 'reclaimed' is a better word. I lied about my name of course, although, I guess in this form I am 'Smokescreen'. I knew about Alpha's fate." Amalgamous seemed to think, what else did I lie about? …That cannot be all…

He shrugged, "I guess that is the main ones, I cannot think of the others. I will have to get back to you for that."

"What about why Unicron became insane, or were you created after and don't know the story?" Ultra Magnus asked, seeming bolder but Amalgamous could tell that he was terrified in upsetting him.

"We were all created before Unicron 'became insane'" Amalgamous did air-quotes around 'became insane', "he became the way he is because of a betrayal, which was followed by a lot of death, small peace, and more death." he shook his head, "To be honest, I am surprised he lasted how long he did."

"Why Unicron became insane..." Amalgamous pondered, "Thirteen killed Solus' and Megatronous' sparkling, and severely injured one of the other Primes. Unicron and Primus created a space where time and space did not meet with ours, and forced Thirteen inside of there.

Years passed and Onyx and Micronous created their kin, Alpha and Prima helped the newer generation of Cybertronians to build their homes and start their civilization. After an eon or so, Prima and Onyx began to get under one another's metal and got into a big fight. That's when a meteor shower happened and it killed all, or I suppose, most Predacons. I heard that Unicron gave Prima a huge punishment for not helping even when he was able to, but I was not there so do not take my word for it.

After that, Unicron became extremely cold and volatile, but Primus and a Prime helped him the best they could and were able to calm him enough that he did not commit genocide, or something worse. The Prime that was able to help him became married at some point and a large era of peace started.

Ummm... other things happened, oh! Some of Quint's squids got loose and caused havoc, Unicron used some of his power to stop them, scolded Quint' about being more vigilant. More stuff happened... Unicron stabbed Primus, more stuff happened..."

Amalgamous continued talking, his optics seemed to be dull and he seemed to be on autopilot.

"Amalgamous Prime" Optimus broke into his thoughts and tore him out of his mind after calling to him the fifth time.

"Hmm?" the Original looked at him in confusion.

"You were starting to ramble"

"Oh..." he looked sheepish before grinning at the other Prime, "I guess I did." He turned to Ultra Magnus, "sorry, it would be better to hear the story from him or Primus rather than from one of us because we are all a bit bias in that fact."

The Military Expert nodded and Amalgamous asked if there were any more questions.

"What were the other Original Primes like?"

Amalgamous looked at the Medic, humming softly while he nods.

"Prima is the first Prime. He had a silver protoform and white warrior-grade armour to protect it. His optics matched Ca- Primus's but were bluer around the edges.

Prima was the most mature out of all of us, but also the most ignorant and arrogant. I believe in schools; everyone was taught about the Great Exodus?"

The other bots nodded.

"Like it was told, Prima got into a fight with Solarflare, who became Predaking after his father offlined. When the meteors came, Prima was still holding the grudge, grudge that was not to be held. He taught the Ancient Cybertronian race, what we called Roller Descendents, how to go into Stasis; leaving the Predacons to their fate."

Amalgamous rubbed his hands together, massaging the taut wires.

"Vector Prime, or Vec', was dark grey and blue with blue optic. He was an interdimensional traveler who spent most of his life in the multiverse, observing it, and occasionally stepping in to help. He took me and the others on a few outtings, they were fun." Amal' smiled, closing his optics. "Alpha Trion, or as I call him "Alpha", was almost the same age as Vec' but was much more mature."

"Wait, Alpha Trion, as in the Master Archivist, was also an Original Prime?!"

The young Prime nodded, "yup, though he preferred being considered a normal Cybertronian. He learned a lot, teaching us whenever we asked and hated violence. Him and Nexus trained often but they were the biggest nerds out there."

"Micronus Prime was teal and cyan with dark blue optics, he was the first Mini-Con. He could enhance our skills and powers and he assisted Solus Prime in the creation of many of our artifacts."

"Solus Prime, the first and only female-like Prime, had Blue-purple armour with black accents and indigo optics. She was beautiful, brave, strong and talented." Sadness filled his optics as he remembered the past.

"Megatronous Prime had dark grey, purple and black armour with vermillion red optics. He and his twin were considered our 'keeper' because of how often we got into trouble. I pranked him the most. You should have seen his face when I dyed him pink!" Amalgamous laughed, voice full of joy and mirth. "Lock- I mean Thirteen was black, grey and dark purple with scarlet optics. He was basically an ass."

"Alchemist Prime and Onyx Prime were created two days apart. Alch' was dusty grey with gold-blue optics while Ony' was red with golden accents and grey-blue optics with specks of gold. They were complete opposites; it is a surprise on how none of them killed the other."

"Nexus Prime was our Triple Changer. He was brown and red with a silver visor. NEVER get on his bad side. He can and WILL sit on you. I think Shadowflake taught him that."

"Quintus Prime was yellow-ish silver and gold with yellow optics. He was also the first one with a "Golden Spark"."

"Liege Maximo was the first "adopted" Prime, adopted by Prima. He was green, silver and gold with golden optics."

"And, as you all know, I am Amalgamous. Prankster and first Shifter."

Amalgamous Prime grinned, "Vec', Micro', Alch' and Quint' were always in the lab together, Solus always made her toys in her room or random places around our home. Alpha and Nexus trained often, but they were also big nerds. Ony', Megzy and lock' fought about everything, from who sits where to who gets Solus."

Amalgamous laughed softly, shaking his helm, "Sol' found out about their little challenges and gave all three of them sore helms and second thoughts."

"Liege was adopted by Prima after he was found on a remote planet. Not sure how he got there or how he was made" Amal' gave a slight shrug, "Megzy and Lock' argued with Prima on how to train him and soon, they all agreed to train him to be a... uh... what is it called? It's in one of the human movies... Manipulator!"

Amusement flowed through all the bots, to think that an ancient Original Prime can forget information similarly to them!

"Anyways." Amalgamous restarted his vocalizer before continuing, "close to 40 Stellar Cycles passed and Megatronous and Solus "got together" as humans would say and had a sparkling. They named her Sula, which means "the strong warrior" in our language."

A sad smile played at his lip-plating and he shook his helm, getting rid of memories, "at that time, Cybertronians were able to give live-birth, similar to humans, but later on, they mutated into not being able to reproduce. I am not sure how, Alchemist tried to explain it to me but back then my train of thought was "if I can't use it for a prank, I won't listen""

Everyone was silent for a bit before Jack asked, "what happened to them?"

Amalgamous looked at him in surprise before shrugging.

"When Megzy and Solus were busy, I was entrusted to take care of and watch Sula. We played many games that day" his voice became lower, and his wings drooped. "I saw Thirteen coming over and was excited, we could use a third player, but I noticed something was wrong, he wasn't acting right..."

Amalgamous inhaled before exhaling, calming himself. "I think after he... I think that something broke inside of Sire afterwards. He grew colder, detached. Megzy and Solus vanished, Alchemist and Nexus stayed in the labs longer, Onyx went to the other side of Cybertron and created his own kind using the Matrix, Prima, Liege and Quin' trained more. Basically, everything fell apart."

"What about you?"

Amalgamous laughed, cold and detached "'what about me?' I left, going down to Cybertron and hid. Got trapped in my first Shifted-form and met my pack. I got better off than all of the others. Sol' and Megzy lost their sparkling and I got a mate."

Silence followed and Amalgamous crossed his arms over his chest.

"What other questions do you all have?"


AN: It was pointed out to me that my poll was a bit confusing and contradicted with one another. So, another poll; 1) Second Story updated before Oneshots. 2) Oneshots updated before Second Story and Alternate Timeline Story. Please choose only one.

Also, if you have any questions (for either me or Amalgamous) please comment them.
