Transformers: TransWarp

Season 2

Episode I

1 "Unsafe Passage"



A few clouds slowly began to swirl over a small abandoned canyon as a large beam of purple shot down and hit the dusty Earth below. A few chirping noises began to emanate from the area as a rather large, low-cut pyramid began to take form, seeming to fade in and out of existence.

"We've finally made it." Exclaimed a voice as the purple beam suddenly disappeared. A moment later two small sections of the pyramid slid away as the four insides stepped out onto the canyon surface.

"It's been awhile..."

"It's been too long...Come, let's find Autobot HQ and this 'Mecca."

The groupe of four autobots each transformed. Optimus Prime into a red tractor-semi, Hot Shot into a sleek black sportscar decorated with red hot flames, Red Alert into a small white police car, and Phazer into a small jet.

"Why go to all that trouble to drive ALL that long way to base when you guys can hitch a ride with us?"

One portal from the Cybertron Network had opened and Team Bullet Train rested at the edge of the canyon.

"Come on, the Cybertron Network will get you to base in no time. Follow us!"

The three trains managed to turn themselves around just speeding off into the portal, the four others speeding shortly behind.

"I say, it's an honor having you visit us Optimus Prime." Exclaimed Midnight Express happily.

"Thanks Midnight. Its good to be here..."



"Ugh...We can't hold out much longer. We've recalibrated our shields a dozen times over but they keep adapting!" Exclaimed Cheetor as he manned the remaining Autobot complex's defensive controls.

"We have to survive. At least until Optimus Prime returns." Responded Liger Maximo calmly.

"Rarr! Me Grimlock want to munch metal!"

"Easy Grimlock. You'll get your chance soon enough."

"Soon enough not soon enough for me Grimlock!"

Just then, a large explosion slammed into the side of the complex, shards of panels falling from the ceiling as everyone covered themselves, the pieces bouncing off of them like subtle raindrops.

"The base can't take much more of this. And where's Strider and Nebulos?!" Cried out Optimus Primal as he surveyed the damage.

Responding to Primal's question, one of the CNF soldiers pointed to the gates stating,

"The Admiral went out to look for them Optimus Primal. But, he's been gone for mega-cycles now."



The glow from a pair of Autobot headlights lit up its surroundings as the long hover-truck came to a stop.

"Strider? Nebulos? Where are you two?"

A moment later, one of his internal sensors gave a light 'peep' noise as the computer voice reported,

"Scanners have detected two alien signatures closing on current position."

"The aliens...

Magnum Convoy, TRANSFORM!"

His body complied as his form quickly changed.

After the transformation Magnum went to a blackened ally, peering over the wall.

A moment later, his internal computer became active again,

"Warning: Energy packs low. Recharge is strongly suggested."

"No...Re-route all available power from weapons to vital systems."

The computer clicked in response as the action was carried out.

"This wont hold for very -"

"Look! There's one!"

Magnum was interrupted in mid-thought as a pair of Tyrannicons had spotted him.

It was the two brothers, Drax & Hidrax.

"Let's turn him into slag..."



Back on Earth, Fire Convoy was briefing Optimus and his small crew on the Mecca.

"Do you know where it's located?" Asked Optimus Prime.

"Of course. We'll grab the other key and take you to it."

"Excellent."

The group of Autobots stirred as the other key was recovered.

Not long after, the small team, including Fire Convoy and the Car Brothers, left for the Mecca via the Cybertron Network.

They arrived shortly, Optimus and Phazer inspecting this lone doorway to nothingness. Mysterious writings and drawings etched into its borders.

"Sir, I've found a keyhole. It seems to have a depiction of a planet above it. Maybe I'm just homesick but, it kind of looks like Cybertron." Phazer said, bewildered at all the extraordinary details.

"Hey Prime. Here's another hole. This one looks like it's got a picture of the Earth on this one." Said Speedbreaker, inspecting the hole and its surroundings carefully as well.

"Here. Put the key we had in that hole," Fire Convoy pointed to the hole Speedbreaker spotted, "and the one Prime brought in the other."

"Excellent idea Convoy." Replied Phazer.

Optimus nodded in approval of the suggestions. The two Autobots inserted the narrow keys into the slots on the sides of this doorway. The keys began to turn on their own until they snapped in a lock, the door once occupying the space in the middle had disappeared, but was replaced with many images of an ancient Cybertronian ship breaking apart in a luscious green planets atmosphere. Ship and crew scattered across the horizon.

"W-what was that?" The young Hot Shot asked shakily.

"Come on, let's go find out." Prime said as he stared at the images, almost mesmerized.

The other three looked among themselves hesitantly for a moment but followed prime into the portal. Into the great unknown...

After the last bot stepped inside the Mecca, weapons fire had erupted around Fire Convoy and his men.

"Great! Who invited THIS guy?"

"I fear that the only person who is going to enter that portal is myself. It would be in your best interest to step away and let me take it!"

Fire Convoy turned his head to look at the hovering Gigatron just to be pummeled in the chest with a missile, knocking him back a few paces from where he stood.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Gigatron laughed much like a madman before transforming into his bat mode, swooping down and then landing on top of the Mecca.

"Gigatron, No!"
