A shiny RV parked at a gas station as a Native American family came out "Junior, you get the franks, we'll get the beans. Let's make our eighth campout and eight nights something really special" the father explained as he, his wife, and son were heading to the convenience store.
"Ah, save me...hashtag: family vacation ugh" the boy "Junior" said holding his phone as he is not interested in this family vacation. A loud screech was heard as a giant metal bird landed on the RV, the parents turned around and became shocked when they saw the giant bird.
The view showed the giant metal bird being purple then a Decepticon insignia was on its chest and has yellow optics with blue iris as it turned to the family and then screeched. The parents came to Junior as they watched the Decepticon flies away with their RV as they were horrified while Junior is glad that he doesn't have to go on this vacation.
"Sleeping in motel tonight hashtag: awesome" he exclaimed.
Prowl and Misfire were in their Alt. modes were searching for the Decepticon bird "This Prowl and Misfire, no sign of the fugitive" Prowl explained.
Different location...
Strongarm and Sideswipe were in their vehicle modes also searching for the Decepticon bird "Beta Team leaving sector 84 sector 9 zero contact optical or auditory" Strongarm explained as Sideswipe groans "What Strongarm's trying to say is we got zots" he said as he grown annoyed with Strongarm's "By-The-Book" language "What, I'm doing is using language appropriate for Cybertronian law enforcers on duty which Prowl and I are, something you've all forgotten" she explained as she speed up away from Sideswipe.
"Who's been putting shrapnel on her intake vale lately?" Sideswipe muttered.
At the Scrapyard...
Denny, Russell, and Fixit were at the Command Console with the holographic map that has images of Prowl, Misfire, Hivemus Prime, and the Recruits "A Decepticon signal keeps flopping-copying-dropping out" Fixit explained then a beeping came as a Decepticon insignia appeared which is the fugitive that the Autobots are after "Oh wait, it's back and on the move" he said as the signal was heading towards Strongarm and Sideswipe's position.
At Strongarm and Sideswipe's position...
The shadow passed over Strongarm "Alpha Team direct contact" Strongarm said as Sideswipe passed her "Party time!" he exclaimed "Sideswipe, this is not a party, it's a pursuit regulation 1-34 section 2 an officer shall not initiate a high-speed chase without you-" Strongarm explained as Sideswipe interrupted her "It's an expression, Strongarm...and you want to follow all the rules or the bad bot?" he rhetorically asked.
"On Cybertron, we did both" she said as the Decepticon bird landed on a transmisson tower as it turns to the coils on the cable. Sidewipe and Strongarm arrived where the Decepticon fugitive is and they transformed into their robot modes "Know rule for getting that thing down?" Sideswipe asked. The Decepticon bird looks at the young Autobots as Sideswipe's finish shined bright "Shiny" the Decepticon bird said in a high screechy voice as it flies towards the duo and screeched.
Scrapyard...
Russell, Denny, and Fixit were watching the fugitive signal heading towards Sideswipe and Strongarm as a ding is heard.
"The front gate, please let it be someone wanting to sell a pristine eight-track player" Denny said as he leaves the Command Console "Mayday, officer's under attack-oh!" Strongarm exclaimed "Prowl, did you hear that?" Fixit asked.
"We'll be there, stat!" Prowl said as he hits the gas pedal as Misfire changes from his Dino mode into his jet mode to keep up with Prowl.
Scrapyard...
Denny and Russell were at the front gate as Denny pushes the button and the front gate opens, man appeared, he has fair skin, curly black hair, brown eyes, wearing a red plaid shirt with a light gray shirt under it, gray jeans, and is in his late 30s. "Denny" he said as Denny made a disgruntled expression and pushes the button again for the gate to close.
"Whoa, hey it's me, Larry LaRue" he said as he quickly enters "Hello, Larry" Denny said in a unfriendly tone with his arms crossed "What do you want?" he asked "Well, I'm out of the collecting biz, and hosting a new reality TV show "Scrapmeisters", I searched through people's junk for hidden treasure and I thought who has more junk than my pal, Denny Clay?" Larry explained.
"Actually, it's vintage memorabilia for the-" Denny corrected as Russell interrupted "You want to put my dad on TV?" he asked "You betcha little man, your dad's scrapyard is legendary. Maybe, I'll even buy something for old times sake because I'm dying-my audience is dying to know what is in your collection scrapmeister, Denny?" Larry explained as he had his camera out that he has been holding.
"Well, there's our magical closing gate, good seeing you Larry" Denny said as he pushes Larry out and pushes the button as the gate finally closes and Denny walks away. Russell stood there and is confused by his dad's behavior towards Larry.
Meanwhile...
Sideswipe activates his mask and had his servo gripped on Decepticon Hunter handle as the Decepticon bird screeches and pushes Sideswipe on the ground as it grips Sideswipe with it's talons.
"Polly wants to crack me!" Sideswipe joked as the Decepticon bird screeched and had it's other talons out until a blast hits in the head and turns it's attention to Strongarm with her mask on and holding it at gunpoint with her Decepticon Hunter. "Wings up, bird brain" she said as she scratches her chest.
The Decepticon bird used it's wing to swipe the Decepticon Hunter off of Strongarm's servos and pins Strongarm down "Scrap!" they yelled as it took off with them.
Misfire and Prowl arrived as Misfire sees them "Prowl, there's the fugitive, but its got Sideswipe and Strongarm" he said "Got it!" Prowl said as he transforms and leaps towards the Decepticon bird and kicks it causing to release Sideswipe and Strongarm.
Sideswipe lands on his peds, Strongarm lands on her back, and Prowl lands on his peds as the Decepticon bird landed on it's body. Strongarm had gotten up as Misfire transforms into his Dino Mode "Who needs punching?" he exclaimed. Prowl activates his mask and pulls out his blaster "Time to go back into your cage" Prowl said as the Decepticon bird recovers and screeches and flies off. The Decepticon bird sees a shiny part of transmission tower "Shiny" it said as it lands on the transmission tower and grabs the coil with it's beak.
Prowl climbs up the transmission tower to apprehend the Decepticon bird as it finally disconnect the coil from the tower and flies off disconnecting the cables in the process as it shocked Prowl, causing him to fall "I got it, I got it" Misfire said as he is in his robot mode with his arms out to catch Prowl. But, Prowl ended up landing on the ground instead "I don't got it" Misfire said.
Strongarm and Sideswipe helped their instructor to get up as they watched the Decepticon bird fly away. Strongarm deactivates her mask and starts scratching her shoulder.
Scrapyard...
Denny and Russell were walking back to the Command Console as Russell asked Denny about why he declined Larry's offer "Why'd you tell that guy, you wouldn't be on his TV show? Don't you want to be a star?"
"Pardon the interruption, but I'm confused. How would appearing on television and do stellar fusion?" Fixit asked Russell and Denny remained silent "I mean how would it make Denny a star?" Denny turns to Russell "Son, I collect this stuff because I love it. I don't-I don't have a burning desire to be rich and famous like Larry LaRue does and we have Autobots to hide" Denny explained as Prowl, Misfire, Hivemus Prime, and the Recruits arrived and transformed into their robot modes.
"We lost the fugitive. Anything on the scanners?" Prowl asked as Fixit looks up on them "Let's see the mugshots flyers only" Strongarm said "Don't forget to mention that it's a beastformer as well" Pyrostorm added as Fixit looks at the mugshots to match Strongarm and Pyrostorm's description as he finally founds the Decepticon bird that Sideswipe and Strongarm encountered.
"That's our foul" Sideswipe said "Filch...compulsive thief" Hivemus said "Does it say future punch taker? Because she's gonna be that too" Misfire explained as the mugshot says that Filch is a female "Seems she's been stealing everything from water tanks to railroad switches and radar domes" Fixit explained "And endangering humans" Hivemus added "Not to mention almost taking Me and Strongarm, if Prowl and Misfire didn't arrived on time. We would definitely be seen by other humans around if she is taking us to her nest" Sideswipe added as Strongarm is scratching her shoulder as Impactra noticed it "You alright Strongarm? You've been itching all day" Impactra explained.
"I'm fine and Filch would already be in custody if Sideswipe hadn't broken regulation 1-3-4 section 2" Strongarm explained showing the holographic textbook of regulations and deactivated as Sideswipe spoked "You've been a total freak about these rules these last few cycles and it's really annoying me than the usual" Sideswipe explained. "We won't make any real progress here until we all go by the book" she explained.
"I don't know how to put this, but Sideswipe is right, you've been acting more "By-The-Book" than usual" Jake said agreeing with Sideswipe "Excuse me, pardon me for asking this, but...does your dad, Ultra Magnus acts more "By-The-Book" like you did today" Rotorstorm asked. "Well, my dad wanted what is best for me and taught me about rules and regulations of being an Autobot and no, he's not more "By-The-Book" like I am today, he's very "By-The-Book" " Strongarm explained as she walks away.
"Well, look on the bright side. I didn't start it this time, you're all witnesses" Sideswipe said while defending himself so his two instructors won't blame him for this situation with Strongarm. Hivemus and Prowl watched Strongarm leaved as they were concerned with Strongarm's behavior. Strongarm's behavior had started two weeks ago.
Strongarm was sitting on a old billboard as she is scratching her thigh that has some hives on it, "Those your old citation logs from Cybertron?" Hivemus Prime asked as he and Prowl came up on the billboard. "Public rustiness, indecent transformation" he said as he and Prowl sit next to her as Strongarm pulls her textbook "You feeling homesick, cadet?" Prowl asked "Just studying procedure, sir. Continuing my education" Strongarm explained.
"Huh-uh when I first came to Earth, I missed Cybertron something awful, got a case of alloy hives felt like I had tin flake under my armor" Hivemus explained while demonstrating by scratching his forearm "Cybertron was the only home I'd ever known. I knew how things work there. I wasn't sure I'd ever feel comfortable here" Hivemus explained as Strongarm deactivates her textbook "How-how did you get past that?" Strongarm asked.
"I decided to think of being on Earth is a game with new rules to figure out, took a while but it got easier especially once I opened up to it" Hivemus explained. They heard throat clearing as they turned their attention to Sideswipe, who had climbed up the billboard "Excuse me, sorry for overhearing, but I know what it's like to be homesick too" Sideswipe said as Prowl scoots over to have Sideswipe to sit next to Strongarm.
"Remember, back on Cybertron, the day that I took you and our classmates to meet the Dinobots?" Sideswipe asked "Yes, I remember" Strongarm answered.
(Flashback)
Sideswipe and his classmates were walking at the far side of Polyhex to meet the Dinobots as one of his classmates, Pyrostorm is concerned "Hey, Sideswipe. Are you sure it's a good idea to bring me along to meet the Dinobots? Because they have a feud with the Predacons." he stated. Pyrostorm was made in a lab by Shockwave from the CNA of the late member of the Wreckers, Pyro and CNA from the Predacon, Firestorm. "It's okay, Pyrostorm, I told them about you that you are on our side and made from a lab. I didn't tell them about Shockwave because they would go berserk since Shockwave experimented them to become what they are today as he had cloned the Predacons" Sideswipe explained as he reassured the Autobot – Predacon hybrid.
"Are you sure that we have to go to Polyhex on our own?" Strongarm asked as she is concerned about the safety of her and the others "Of course, Strongarm, I have known the Dinobots for life more than you know on your history books, they might be big and a little hostile, but they have a soft spot and they would be more than happy to welcome us" Sideswipe said as they arrived at the Dinobots' dens.
Impactra became puzzled about the dens "Are you sure this is the right place?" she asked "Of course, after the Great War they couldn't go back to their old homes because their Dino modes were too big and don't want to cause destruction on their neighbors' properties, so they made a den where it's big enough for their Dino modes and where they won't cause any destruction to other people's stuff" Sideswipe explained "And besides, I lived in Grimlock's old house before he became a Dinobot when I became old enough to live on my own" he added as a shadow passed them from above the sky.
They looked up and saw a robot Pteranodon as Sideswipe recognized it "That's one of them, now" he said as he did a Pteranodon sound and his classmates looked at him with surprise "You can do Dinobot noises?" Jake stated "Yes, the Dinobots had taught me to call them if we were separated or to get their attention" Sideswipe explained as the Pteranodon lands and transforms into a mech "Guys, meet Swoop. Swoop, these are my classmates" Sideswipe said introducing them "Sideswipe had told me, so much about you" he said "Especially, you Pyrostorm, the Predacon hybrid that you are one of them" Swoop said as pointed Pyrostorm's Autobot insignia that is on his wing.
Then five more Dinobots came from the dens. The first one is a Tyrannosaurus Rex, the second one is a Triceratops, the third one is a Stegosaurus, the fourth one is a Brontosaurus, and the fifth one is a Velociraptor as the T – Rex did a roar as the Autobot recruits covered their audio receptors expect Sideswipe as he roars back. Then the T – Rex stopped as he transformed into robot mode: he is a mech and he is taller than Optimus Prime and he hugs Sideswipe "Sideswipe!" he shouted "Me Grimlock hadn't seen you since you went on your own" Grimlock exclaimed as he puts Sideswipe down "Me too, Grimlock" Sideswipe said as he turned his attention to his classmates.
"Guys meet Grimlock, the leader of the Dinobots. Grimlock, these are my classmates: Impactra, Rotorstorm II, Pyrostorm, Strongarm, and Jake" Sidesswipe exclaimed. Grimlock glances at them one outta time "Him Sideswipe told Me Grimlock about you recruits: You Impactra and Rotorstorm are the female clones of the late Wreckers, you Pyrostorm made in lab from the CNA of another late Wrecker and a Predacon, You Jake, son of Vehicon and Autotrooper, and You Strongarm are a police cadet and daughter of Him Ultra Magnus" Grimlock stated.
"Me Grimlock introduce to the others" Grimlock said he turned his attention to his teammates "Him Slug, Him Snarl, Him Sludge, Her Slash" as the other Dinobots transformed into their robot modes. Impactra approached Slug with excitement "Slug, you are my favorite Dinobot because you don't back away from a fight and you can knock anyone out with those horns of yours" she exclaimed as Slug smiled "Looks like I have a fan."
"Can you teach how to roar like you?" she asked "Okay" Slug said as he transforms into his dino mode and roars as she does a roar too "Nice one, Impactra" Rotorstorm exclaimed as she looks at Sludge "Hey, Sludge if we ever fought in battle together, you can do your earthquakes and I do my whirlwinds, so our enemies won't fight off against the ground or the sky" Rotorstorm explained "Ooooh, I like that" Sludge agreed with excitement. "So, Snarl you can transform into a Stegosaurus?" Jake stated "Yes" Snarl replied "I looked up about Earth's Stegosaurus that Stegosauruses used their spiked tails to whack their enemies and turn their plates red as they are my favorite Earth creature" Jake explained "Now that's what I like to hear" Snarl said.
"Strongarm what do you think of me?" Slash asked "Well, Velociraptors are fast creatures like you, they are pack hunters which your team is kinda like a pack, and they slash their prey with their toe claws. That's why "Slash" why suits for you" Strongarm explained "Yeah, it's much deadlier than a spiked tail, no offense, Snarl" Slash stated "None taken" Snarl replied. "Speaking of spiked tail, Grimlock, where's Scorn?" Sideswipe asked. "Him Scorn is giving Him Crosshairs for a ride" Grimlock answered.
"Hey, Sideswipe, can you tell us more about you and the Dinobots?" Jake asked "Of course, you see the Dinobots raised me after I got lost in the Badlands and they saved me from being taken by a group of vehicons and they took me in like I'm one of their own" Sideswipe explained as his teammates are touched by Sideswipe's answer and Strongarm is surprised that a group of ferocious warriors raising a young Autobot as one of their own. "But you don't have the same Alt. modes" Strongarm replied "That's called being related like my twin brother and I are related to our mother" Sideswipe said as he pulls out a picture of him, his brother, and his mother "See" he said as they looked at Sideswipe's picture: Sideswipe and his twin brother, Sunstreaker were toddlers and their mother, Nitroblaze looked like Sunstreaker, but more feminine "Aaaaaw" his classmates exclaimed as they find toddler Sideswipe and Sunstreaker adorable as Sideswipe puts his picture back into his compartment "Being a family isn't about being biological, it's about the one who raised you and loves you" Sideswipe explained to his classmates.
"He's right" Impactra agreed "I have been cloned by Perceptor from the CNA of the late Wrecker Impactor, when Clobber adopted me, I got along with her friend, Hot Rod's kids, Cascade and Ford Runner as I see them as siblings" she explained and smiled the memory of her and Hot Rod's kids. "I may be a clone of Rotorstorm, but Roller took good care of me and became like a father to me then he adopted me" Rotorstorm added "I agreed, Brawn had took good care of me since the day we met, I see him as a father I never had and that's what gave him the idea to adopt me" Pyrostorm retorted "When ever I sparklingsit my cousin, Aaron, he's like a little brother to me" Jake replied.
Strongarm is impressed by her classmates' speech and turned to Sideswipe "I'll admit Sideswipe, you are right about family and honestly, I see Wheeljack as a uncle to me when he sparklingsits me" she replied with a smile as they smiled back. Then they spotted something racing towards them as Sideswipe recognizes the figure in the distance "That must be Scorn" Sideswipe said as Scorn, who is a Spinosaurus arrived at the dens and lets out a roar "Yeah, that's right, Spike let it out!" the green Autobot mech, Crosshairs shouted as he slides down from Scorn's tail in Fred Flintstone style.
"Spike?" Jake said "It's a nickname that Crosshairs calls him" Sideswipe replied as Scorn transformed into his robot mode "Who are Sideswipe's guests, Grimlock?" he asked "They are Him Sideswipe's classmates" Grimlock replied as they introduced themselves. "What are you doing here, Kid?" Crosshairs asked "I'm want them to meet the Dinobots" Sideswipe answered. "Is it okay you just stay here with us for a couple of minutes, just to get to know the Dinobots better?" Jake asked "Why not? I have nothing else to do, I would like to hang out with you guys" Crosshairs explained.
Minutes go by as the recruits and Dinobots got along, Grimlock is telling Strongarm his war stories, Slug is teaching Impactra dinobot calls, Jake is riding on Snarl and Sideswipe is riding on Slash, Swoop racing with Pyrostorm in his beast mode, Sludge, Scorn, Rotorstorm, and Crosshairs are taking a R and R (Rest and Relaxation).
(Flashback ends)
"When I was living with them, I got the hives all the time" Sideswipe said as he chuckles "You should've seen me like that, I was scratching like crazy as if I were an Earth dog having a flea season" he explained. Strongarm chuckles "Wow, it must've a long time to cope with living the Dinobots" she said. "Yeah, I had really missed my family, mainly my twin brother, Sunstreaker" Sideswipe explained.
"He and I were close ever since we were born. Until it became strained after our mom died as we lived with our stepfather, he began treating me like a younger brother than a twin and I hated it. Then I had enough of it and I ran away and you know the rest" Sideswipe said as Strongarm and Prowl nodded. Hivemus felt sympathetic to Autobot recruit "How old you were when you lost your mother and when you ran away?" he asked.
"I was 8 human years old when Mom died and I was 13 human years old when I ran away" Sideswipe answered. "Every time when I look at the stars, I always pray that Mom's spirit is watching over my brother. Now, today He and I reconciled thanks to Strongarm's advice" he explained as Strongarm smiles.
At Crown City...
Filch was in her robot mode standing on the large Crown City statue called "Crown City Colossus" as she jumps out and transforms into her beast mode and flies off to steal more shiny things.
At the Scrapyard...
"Filch is on the move" Fixit said "Strongarm, Sideswipe let's go. You too Denny, we may need yo to help with civilians" Hivemus said as he turns to Denny while explaining about keeping other humans safe and out of sight. "Sweet" Denny said as he gets his suitcase which is white with red and orange flowers "I got my Go-Bag of disguises ready" Denny exclaimed as Misfire transforms into his Dino mode "Let's rumbllllle!" Misfire shouted.
Prowl sighs "Not this time Fire, We'll be close to downtown and your Jet mode won't be-" Prowl explained as Misfire interrupted "No, no I've been working on looking like an Earth-based vehicle" Misfire explained as he fishes something out of the pile "Just hang on" he said "One second, oh you're gonna love this...almost got it and bang!" he said as he pulled out a homemade car grill necklace and four tires attached to his arms and legs.
"Check it out, I'm a truck, vroom vroom" he said with all his four tires on the ground while moving around to pretend to be a truck. "Right?" he asked Hivemus smiled and shook his helm "Oh come on" he complained as the car grill necklace and tires fell off of him as he censored himself despite that he doesn't wear clothes.
Hivemus, Prowl, Strongarm, Sideswipe, Impactra, and Rotorstorm II were in their vehicle modes and were heading to Crown City "Woah" Denny exclaimed when the Autobots dodged a incoming car "Look!" Strongarm said as Filch is seen trying to pull the bridge support beam as Denny gasped in horror.
They arrived at the bridge as Hivemus transforms into his robot mode "Quick before she-" Hivemus was cut off as Filch finally yanked the bridge support beam off as the rest of the Autobots in their robot modes came to Hivemus Prime's side. Filch screeched and flies passed them "That stays here" Hivemus Prime said as he grabs the bridge support beam and plants his peds as he reached to the edge of the bridge and planted them as he prevented Filch to fly off with the beam.
Hivemus saw that the bridge is cracking without the support it will collapse "Stabilize the bridge" he ordered as Strongarm looks at her regulation book "Disaster protocol states that if more than one officer is on the scene" Strongarm explained as Prowl interrupted her "Just do it, that's an order" he said as he comes to Hivemus' aid as he grabs the beam as well. Strongarm complies as she went off to help Sideswipe.
"Denny, Impactra, Rotorstorm don't let anyone back on the bridge "On it" Denny said as he puts his suitcase down and open it to find the right disguise as he found a shiny hat.
At the bottom of the bridge...
Sideswipe was stabilizing the bridge like Hivemus told him as he was struggling to keep the bridge from collapsing then Strongarm came to his aid as she holds the bottom bridge too " Oh-how do we fix this? Rules call for repair as soon as-" Strongarm explained as Sideswipe interrupted "Worry less about following the rules and worry more about the bridge collapsing" he said becoming worried about Strongarm's concern for rules is distracting her from the mission "You know you are homesick, but we are on an important mission and you're distracting yourself for what's at stake, so keep bracing the bridge" Sideswipe explained. As Strongarm braces the bridge with all her might.
Meanwhile...
Hivemus and Prowl were struggling to pull the beam away from Filch as Hivemus finally got his peds down as Prowl follows "Mine, mine, mine!" Filch screeched.
A police car came as Denny came wearing the shiny hat and green overalls as he rushes towards police car "Look out!" Denny shouted "Hi, Officer" Denny greeted in a different voice as the police officer pushes the button as his window goes down "What the heck is going on here?" he asked.
"Nevada Fleeber from the Witch of Houma county exotic bird park opening next May, could you set up temporary roadblock?" he asked "A roadblock? Why in the name of Sam Hill do we need a roadblock?" the officer asked "One of our larger specimens got loose, our high-tech robot keepers will recapture it and take your prick" Denny explained as he showed the officer of Hivemus and Prowl preventing Filch from taking the beam as this shocked the officer.
"One roadblock coming up" he said as he turns around and leaves "Rotorstorm, how's everything up there?" Impactra asked as she transformed into her robot mode after pretending to be the bird watcher's truck.
In the sky...
Rotorstorm was in her helicopter mode, flying above the other side of the bridge "All take care of, I contact the bridge crew to close the bridge" Rotorstorm explained.
Hivemus and Prowl were still preventing Filch from taking the beam to her nest "Mine! Mine!" she screeched.
Scrapyard...
Russell and Fixit were at the Command Console along Pyrostorm and Jake, who had decided to stay behind, to which Prowl and Hivemus respect that.
Misfire rushes towards the Command Console "Hey Russell, do customers usually climb over the walls if the gates not open?" he asked "Only if they're shady" Russell answered "Okay, Then I think you have a shady customers" Misfire said.
Larry LaRue had climbed over the walls to get inside the Scrapyard as Russell, Fixit, Pyrostorm, and Jake watched him from the security videos "It's that TV guy" Russell said "You mean Larry LaRue?" Jake said "Yep" Russell replied.
"Maybe, we should let him film here" he suggested "I don't think your dad would be who-remove-approve. What if they see the Alchemor or Misfire or Me or Pyrostorm and Jake?" Fixit explained. "I agree, any cause of seeing one of us would expose us and that's why it's better that we be kept a secret from the half of the planet that doesn't know our existence" Pyrostorm explained.
"I should be detailed first" Fixit suggested as he thought about being on TV "Being on TV could mean more business for the Scrapyard then maybe Dad would sell some stuff and we can move out of here and into Crown City" Russell said as he got off the Command Console as he is heading to where Larry is until Jake used his servo to block Russell's path "Woah, there Rusty" Jake said "We know how much you want to move to Crown City, but we should think about this" Jake suggested "Yeah, if you had put the Scrapyard into business that would cause the mission into capturing the Decepticon fugitives and we might get expose and we don't know any place to hide in the city" Pyrostorm added. Russell sighed and reluctantly agreed to Jake and Pyrostorm's concerns. "Log off this area and stay out of sight, I'll handle Mr. LaRue" Russell said as he resumes to head to where Larry is.
"All right, but if he tries anything...Dino Destructo Double Drop boom!" he exclaimed as Fixit zooms in on the security camera to see Larry's camera "That's the device that induces stellar fushion?" Fixit said. "Fixit...a star has another meaning, a "star" is a person that is very famous, successful and important, it could either be a musician, actor, or an athlete" Jake explained as he remembers from what Denny told him about the definition of a star.
Larry is searching for Denny as Russell arrives "Oh hey, little man is your dad around?" Larry asked as he saw Russell "Na, he had to go out, I'm handling customers and TV interviews while he's away" Russell explained "Don't you mean "We" are handling customers and TV interviews?" a voice corrected as Russell turned around as he saw two young men there.
They are 18 to 19 years old. The first one had black messy hair, golden eyes, tan skin, brown short-sleeved shirt with a red leather vest with black marking along with matching pants and wearing black combat boots. The second one had silver hair with black roots, purple eyes, pale skin, a black shirt that covers his upper arms with a blue and white vest the was a hood, dark gray pants, and purple boots. "And who are you two?" Larry asked.
The one in red said "I'm Parker" "and I'm Jake" the one in blue said "We were sent by Denny to help Russell of handling customers" Parker said, who was actually Pyrostorm using his avatar to avoid being seen by Larry as Jake did the same.
"And that's me" Russell said as he pointed himself "TV, oh right, terrific. Russell, Parker, Jake, what can you tell us about the scrap-tastic here at rusty acres?" Larry asked as he had his camera ready "Its enormous and its for sale" Russell said "Great, cu-" Larry said as he was about to cut but Parker intervened "Woah, woah, woah, woah, it's partially for sale. Because there are things that Denny likes to keep it here" Parker explained.
"And besides, Denny calls it "Vintage Salvage Depot for the Discriminating Nostalgist" " Jake added "Okay, cut" Larry said as he cuts "You're a natural that's all we need from you" Larry said "Just gonna poke around get some background video for the piece" he said "Hey, you can't just go off without a guide" Russell said "And besides, you could get lost. Like Russell said its enormous" Jake added.
Meanwhile at the bridge...
"Bee, Prowl" Denny said as he rushed towards Hivemus and Prowl "Bridge is clear, anyone asks you're a zookeeper" Denny explained as Filch turns her attention to Denny and saw the shiny hat "Shiny" the corvicon (crowcon) said as she turns around causing Hivemus and Prowl to fall off the side of the bridge, Denny runs off "No ,no, no!" Denny cried as Filch grabs him with her beak.
Impactra tried to stop Filch from taking Denny away as she grabs the beam, but ends up being flown away "Woah! That didn't go well" she exclaimed. Hivemus and Prowl climbed back up to the bridge as they watched Denny and Impactra being taken away by Filch "Woooaah!" Denny exclaimed "Scrud" Hivemus said.
At the scrapyard...
Misfire was standing here with his arms crossed as he got a comm call from Hivemus "Misfire, we need you!" he said "Say it again? Slooooower?" Misfire asked "JUST GET OVER HERE!" Hivemus shouted as Misfire quickly changes into his Dino mode and he was about to sneak out until he stopped "Wait, can't just got rolling out with that human running around the scrapyard" he said as he contacts Pyrostorm "Pyrostorm...Pyrostorm" he whispered.
Pyrostorm was hiding behind a shelf as he gets a comm call from Misfire "Pyrostorm, do read me?" Misfire asked as Pyrostorm answers "Loud and clear" he whispers "Hivemus Prime called me to help him, but I can't sneak out with that human, Larry around and I cannot use my jet mode it bring too much attention to him" Misfire explained "Understood, Pyrostorm out".
Larry was filming the scrapyard around as he stops when he saw something "Wow a selector soda 68 never seen one up close before" Larry explained as Russell and Jake behind them was Misfire trying to sneak out without being seen. Larry turns around as Misfire froze and he became shocked when he saw Misfire "What is that?" Larry asked as Russell and Jake turned around and gasped in horror as Misfire is there.
Somewhere at Filch's nest...
Denny groaned as he regained conscious and saw a pile of junk "How'd I get back to the scrapyard?" he wondered as he saw Impactra there "Impactra, do you know how did we got back to the scrapyard?" he asked as he walks out "Denny, we are not at the scrapyard" she said "Why?" Denny replied as he went to the edge and saw the road down there and they were way high up. Denny gasped in shock "That's why" Impactra retorted.
The view showed that Denny and Impactra are at the Crown City Colossus. Denny turns around as he bumped into Filch and landed on his rear. Denny looks up at Filch as she screeched "Not shiny" she said.
Denny gets up as Impactra comes to his side "Listen, I'm a collector too just like you. You-you like shiny stuff right, I know where there's lots of shiny stuff" Denny explained "Shiny?" Filch said as Impactra looks at Denny with "what are you doing?" expression. Denny climbs on top of the loot as Filch looks at him with a straight face "Straight out that way" Denny said as Filch turns to where Denny said.
"Big ol recycling plant" Denny said "Shiny" Filch said as she glares at Denny as she not convince with Denny's explanation. "Denny, something to let you know...Corvicons are interested in metal not non-metal materials" Impactra explained "Shiny like her" Filch agreed.
"I know what I'm doing just play along" Denny whispered "Don't worry about us, we'll-we'll take good care of your treasure while you're gone" Denny reassured "Shiny" Filch said as she flew off. Denny pulls out his phone to call the Autobots "Really dead battery? Shouldn't have played so much Sodoku" Denny said "Let me call them" Impactra said as she contacts the Autobots "Hivemus, Prowl, are you there?" Impactra asked "Prowl, here. Are you all right Recruit Impactra?" Prowl replied "I'm fine and so is Denny, listen we are at a giant statue outside of Crown City. Filch is heading to the old recycling factory" Impactra explained.
"Good, just stay put, once the bridge is handled. Prowl, out" Prowl said.
At the scrapyard..
"What's that you mean you've never seen one of these life-sized metal dinosaurs?" Parker asked as Misfire did a growl "Oh, seen one, I have three" Larry said as he puts his camera down and approaches Misfire as Jake and Parker blocked Larry with their arms out "You don't won't go near this thing if I were you, there is still some kinks to work out for it to move" Parker explained as Russell goes to Misfire and pretends to fix him.
Fixit grabs Larry's camera and examines it "Well, Jake may had told me the definition of the star. But for me, there's no way this induces a stellar fusion, there's no Neutron igniter" Fixit said as he unknowingly turned on the camera. Jake gasped as he saw Fixit turned on the camera then he did a fake cough "Fixit" he said as Fixit drops the camera and wheels away as Larry picks up his camera.
"Go Misfire, we keep him distracted" Parker/Pyrostorm whispered the trio rushed towards Larry as Misfire sneaks away. "Whatever do don't waste your time going that way. That's the stuff my dad will never sell" Russell said as Larry walks away and Fixit appeared "You recorded a video of yourself on that camera" Jake whispered "Scrap, did it get my good side?" Fixit asked.
Meanwhile...
Sideswipe and Strongarm were still holding the bridge as it began to cracked more. Hivemus and Prowl aid them as they hold the bridge too "You two okay?" Hivemus asked "Other than ignoring every disaster protocol ever written. We're great" the panicked Strongarm explained.
Misfire was on the road and now transforms into his jet mode and flies off to the bridge. He stops and transforms back into his Dino mode indicating that's the bridge that the Autobots are at. He sneaks passed the cars and the officer. Prowl, Hivemus, Sideswipe, Strongarm, and Rotorstorm, who came to aid them as they kept holding the bridge as Misfire appeared.
"Someone call about a bridge?" he said as he pushes the bridge up as the two halves connected. "I could do this all day" he said "We don't have all day team and neither does Denny or Impactra" Hivemus explained. "Impactra, called me, she said that she and Denny are a giant statue outside of Crown City and Filch is heading to the old recycling factory" Prowl explained.
"The Crown City Colossus, Russell told me about it when we went sight-seeing two days ago" Sideswipe said.
Scrapyard...
Larry was filming the scrapyard, Russell was hiding behind the self and finding away to take the camera away from Larry without getting suspicious. He heard his phone ringing as he answers it "How's it going out there?" Russell asked.
Denny was inside of Impactra's vehicle mode, she has a charging station as she allows Denny to connect the cable to charge his phone as he is now talking to Russell "Let's just say, I need ride" Denny said.
"Dad, I'm so sorry I let that TV guy in and now there's a footage of Fixit on his camera" Russell explained "Calm down, Kiddo. We can deal with that later, right now I need to get a message to Hivemus Prime" Denny said as Russell hangs up "Mr. LaRue, I need to..." Russell paused as Larry wasn't there "Mr. LaRue?"
At the Crown City Colossus...
Denny was out of Impactra as she is in her robot mode and they both waved their arms "There's Denny and Impactra, just like Impactra said" Hivemus said as he, Prowl, and the Recruits head towards the Crown City Colossus "Misfire, how are you holding up?" Hivemus asked through the commlink.
At the bridge...
Misfire was still holding the bridge "Awesomely. I am literally holding up awesomely" he said as the bridge starts to crumble "Slightly less awesomely now" he said.
At the Crown City Colossus...
"Get to the top" Hivemus ordered as he races towards the statue "I'll race you there" Sideswipe said as he follows Hivemus. Strongarm scratches her shoulder "Both of you are violating section-" she said until she growls with frustration and just follows them.
"Rotorstorm, go into the sky and be on high alert in case if Filch comes back" Prowl ordered "Yes, sir" Rotorstorm II said as she transforms into her vehicle mode and flies off as she is above the Crown City Colossus and Prowl was climbing the statue stand too. Then Sideswipe leaps pass Hivemus as he was on the statue
"Just passing through" Sideswipe grins as Filch passes "Guys, look out! Filch is back" Rotorstorm yelled as Filch charges as them "Secure Denny and Impactra" Hivemus ordered as he activates his mask as Filch snatches Hivemus "Hivemus" Strongarm exclaimed.
Denny and Impactra gasped in horror as Filch pins Hivemus down. Filch screeches "Mine" she said.
Scrapyard...
Larry was wandering around the scrapyard still filming as he sees an old telephone "Mmm, Mine" he muttered.
Crown City Colossus...
Hivemus kicks Filch causing her to release him and fights her "Hivemus Prime...regulation 1 section 3 a junior officer shall never disobey a direct order from a senior officer" she explained as she watched Sideswipe reaching the top of the statue of where the torch is "Strongarm, you need help Hivemus Prime immediatly. He can't hold Filch much longer, Sideswipe and I have our servos full and Rotorstorm is keeping on alert for any humans" Prowl said as he reach to the top too.
Strongarm thinks and has to decide whether to help Hivemus or retrieve Denny and Impactra from the Crown City Colossus, then she made a decision as she jumps off the statue stand and cried out.
Hivemus watches Strongarm as Filch turns around "Watch the birdie" Strongarm shouted as she activates her mask and punches Filch "I will never understand her" Sideswipe said as he and Prowl climbed up the torch "Oh shiny" Sideswipe joked as Denny and Impactra smiled "Funny" Denny said.
Hivemus was holding Filch's beak and Strongarm was on her back until she got her off "Look out below!" Sideswipe shouted as he threw a metal girder at Filch as it knock her out. Hivemus and Strongarm deactivated their masks "You, Sideswipe, Rotorstorm and Prowl take Filch, Denny, and Impactra back to the Scrapyard. I'll get this to Misfire" Hivemus Prime explained as he takes the girder.
At the bridge...
Misfire was still holding the bridge as it still crumbles, he struggles to keep it up "So how's your day going?" Hivemus asked as he had put the metal girder to support the bridge.
Denny is inside of Hivemus' vehicle mode as he drives back to the scrapyard as he sees Larry hauling out a big wagon of stuff that he found as Russell, Parker, and Jake were there.
Denny glares at Larry as he exits out of Hivemus "Oh, Denny, the treasures you have I found things I've been after for years to sell them to me now or else I'll air my footage and every collector in the country will be knocking down your door" Larry said with a smug on his face.
Denny glares at Larry as the rest of the Autobots sneak back into the scrapyard as Sideswipe and Strongarm were holding the unconscious Filch above their helms. "Okay, Larry you win. On one condition, you never darken my door again" Denny said "It's a-" Larry said as Russell interrupted "Few Conditions" Russell added "Good call, we need to know, you'll keep your word...cough up the memory cards, Larry" Denny said.
"Because, if you don't. We'll call the cops and show them this" Parker said as he showed Larry a recorded video of himself climbing up the gate. Larry complied and did what Denny told him "Mine, mine, mine, mine" Larry said as he leaves the scrapyard.
The gate closes as Denny turns to Russell, Pyrostorm and Jake arrived as their human avatars disappeared and they followed Denny and Russell "I know that stuff meant a lot to you, Dad. I'm sorry" Russell said as Hivemus Prime transformed into his robot mode as Prowl, Sideswipe, Misfire and the recruits came to their side "Well, I may be a collector, kiddo but I what's really valuable besides did he get all those pieces from aisle 3?" Denny asked "uh-huh" Russell answered "The best stuffs on aisle 4" Denny said "I'm going to figure out this star-making thing, even though Jake explained to me what a human star is" Fixit said as he is carrying different types of cameras as he passes the Autobots.
Pyrostorm and Jake just chuckled as they turned their attention to Prowl and Hivemus "Hivemus, Prowl, we know should've call you about the situation with Larry, but you were busy on the mission and we don't want to draw attention to Larry. So we did the best we could to keep him busy until you guys return" Pyrostorm explained.
"I know there is into calling me, but you, Jake, and Russell were able to prevent Larry from finding the Alchemor and the stasis pods on your own and I'm proud of you, guys. So none of you are getting punish" Prowl explained. "Not even me?" Russell asked "That's something for your dad to decide if he should punish you or not" Prowl said. Hivemus looks for Strongarm as Prowl and Sideswipe followed.
Strongarm was sitting on the old billboard. Hivemus, Prowl, and Sideswipe climbed up as they sit next to her "Amazing, you broke protocol, Cadet and I don't see any hives" Hivemus said. "I realized that you, Prowl, Misfire, Fixit and my classmates even Sideswipe. You're my ties to Cybertron more than any rule book" Strongarm explained.
"You're gonna be okay" Prowl said as Strongarm brings out her regulation book "But that's not to say I won't be writing you all up" Strongarm said as Hivemus simply smiles "Oh, but you're definitely going to write me up all right, Strongarm" Sideswipe said as he booped her "Did you just booped me?" Strongarm asked "Yep, let's if you can try and catch me?" Sideswipe said he slides down the latter "You're on!" Strongarm shouted as she climbs down the latter as Hivemus and Prowl laughed.
