PROLOGUE


Two military soilders came running down the slope of the mountain. It was their platoon's job to clear the mountain so that a new base could be built.
"Sir," one soilder reported. "We have finished setting the explosives."
"Yeah, this baby is ready to be leveled!" the other added, enthusiastically.
"Everyone clear out and take cover!" ordered the commanding officer.
After everyone reached a safe distance, the explosi es were activated. Everything was proceeding as planned. Then, one of the survielence officers came running up to the commander with some interesting news.
"Commander," the officer addressed his superior, "there is something inside the mountain."
The officer handed the commander a pair of binoculars & pointed in the direction in which he saw the mysterious figures. When the commander saw them, he ordered some of his troops to investigate. No one had seen the data probes leave or return. As the troops neared the figures, auto-defense guns came online. The entire team was obliterated in a matter of seconds. After ten minutes had passed, the commander called for his communications officer. The commander ordered the young officer to patch him through to the investigations team. After pushing a few buttons on a portable panel, the young officer gave his commander the okay. The commander tried hailing the team, but only got static as a reply. Just at that time; the survielence officer reported that the figures were moving.
The commander looked up to see five gigantic robots heading in his direction. He could see that they were Transformers, but the didn't have any insignias to identify if they were Autobots or Decepticons. The commander's unspoken question was answered by a barrage of laser fire.
