Transformers: Robots In Disguise
Season 2
Did you ever have one of those days where fate seemed out to get you for something you did bad,
but don't know what it was that you did? Well Kelly was having one of those days, although she
was used to it. Because her car was destroyed by that weird plane a few weeks ago, she was
forced to resort to using public transportation. But while she was coming home, using the city
bus, an explosion forced the bus onto its side. Luckily, nobody was seriously hurt and they all
managed to escape through the emergency windows.
Kelly's immediate response was to run home, crawl under her bed, and sleep for three months, but
then she happened to take a glance at what caused the explosion. It was a battle. On one side,
a strange A-shaped jet, the same jet that destroyed her car. On the other side, a police car,
an SUV, a tractor trailer, and a painfully familiar blue sportscar.
"Oh no, it's them again, the talking cars." Kelly paled, remembered the countless times the
blue sportscar harrassed her. What was worse was that she could hear them speaking.
"X-Brawn, I'm having trouble maneuvering."
"Stay tight, Sideburn, I'm on my way. Cover me, Ultra Magnus."
"Roger." The tractor trailer fired a machine gun mounted on the cab as the SUV picked up speed
along side of the sportscar.
"X-Brawn, transform!" Kelly paled and she almost fainted. The SUV turned into a giant robot
that took out some sort of weapon and fired at the under side of the A-shaped plane.
"Skywars, combat mode!" Skywars also transformed and took out a made-for-robot gun. "Take this!
Unilasers!"
"Bronco Blaster!"
"Sideburn, transform!" The sports car also transformed. "Sideburn, super charge!" His color
changed a cherry red, much like the convertible Kelly used to drive. Sideburn fired a weapon
that looked like a bumper.
"Prowl, transform!"
"Ultra Magnus, transform!" The police car and the tractor trailer also turned into robots and
fired weapons. Eventually Skywars was knocked out of the sky.
"This isn't over yet! Skywars, assault mode!" Skywars turned back into his vehicle shape and
took off.
The blue sports car, Sideburn, suddenly dropped to one knee. "I think he got me, guys."
"You think?" Ultra Magnus scolded. "You should've been watching your flank as well as your
front."
"Aww, come on, take it easy on me, Ultra Magnus, I'm a wounded robot."
"Wounded robot my exhaust pipe."
"Hold on there, hombres," X-Brawn said. "I think Sideburn's right on the money this time, U.M.
My scanners are detecting some messed-up circuitry."
"We better take you to Tai, she'll get you fixed up," Prowl said. "Tai, we're coming back,
Sideburn's been wounded."
A portal opened up. Unfortunately, it was underneath Kelly. She screamed as she fell into it.
Kelly found herself in some sort of metallic corridor. There was nothing in it and it seemed to
inch out forever.
Kelly heard voices coming from above.
"Man, why did Tai have to open one in the ground?"
"We should really talk with the Build Team about that." Kelly realized that she was standing
right above the portal. If they jumped in, it was likely they could squish her. Kelly covered
her head with her arms and prepared for the worst.
Luckily, they jumped too far and ended up right in front of her. But because their backs were
to her and she was so small, they didn't see her. Once there, they turned back into vehicles
and took off. Kelly looked up but the portal disappeared.
"Okay, so I'm underneath the Earth in a metallic tunnel. Perfectly logical," Kelly told herself.
She decided to follow the robots, if there was an entrance, there has to be an exit.
Kelly walked. She walked until she could walk no more, then she rested and continued walking.
Finally, when it seemed like she would be lost there forever, a light appeared on the horizon.
She ran with all her might, hoping it was an exit. Instead, she came out into some unusual
room. Control panels were banked along one corner of the room. There were voices coming from
a room off to the side.
"It's nothing serious. Just some internal circuitry unaligned. He'll be fine."
"See, I told you it was nothing serious."
"Oh zip it, Ultra Magnus."
"Just rest and recharge, Sideburn, I have to go."
"Where are you going?"
"Optimus is having trouble with Database. He's attacking the Tokyo Global Communications Center.
Ultra Magnus, if you want to get some action in, go right ahead. Prime also wants me in the
fight since I have the ability to overpower his memory wipe program."
"A chance to have Prime owe me one and see you look like an idiot? I wouldn't miss this for the
world. Let's head on out, Miss Microchip."
"Miss Microchip... all right. You go on ahead and I'll join you." In the blink of an eye, Kelly
was hiding behind a control panel. Peeking out from around the side, she saw a young woman
enter the room. She had shoulder-length dark hair and brown eyes. She was dressed in a blue
body suit with white gloves and boots and an orange cape connected to her body with a strange
insignia.
To Kelly's shock, the woman began to glow. Her body was coated in what looked like computer
code. She then disappeared. Kelly slowly stepped from her hiding place.
"Okay, calm down, Kelly, there's a perfectly logical explanation for this. Let's see, I'm in a
big room deep underground, housed by giant robots with shape changing power and girls who
disappear into thin air... WHO AM I KIDDING, THIS IS INSANE! WHERE AM I?!"
"You are at the Autobot Headquarters." Kelly covered her mouth. A voice seemed to come out of
nowhere. It sounded like the woman who departed a moment ago but younger.
"Who... who said that."
A view screen came to life with an image of a girl in some sort of pink uniform. Unknown to
Kelly, it was how Tai looked before she was upgraded with Koji's DNA and Database's program.
"I am the Teletron 3 Archives. Within my memory contains information and knowledge. Please
state your inquiry."
Inquiry? She must mean Kelly's question. "Where am I?" She asked, her voice much quieter.
"You are at the Autobot Command Center Headquarters located in Tokyo, Japan."
"I'm... in... Tokyo? But what's going on here?"
"Please restate inquiry," Computer-Tai droned.
Kelly sighed. "All right, who are the Autobots."
Computer-Tai's image was replaced with a 3-D graphic of the Autobot symbol which looked like
the insignia that the young woman was wearing. "The Autobots are a race of peaceful transforming
robots from the planet Cybertron. Their mission is universal guardians, especially in the
region of Earth."
"What's Cybertron?"
"The Autobot's home planet, a 100% mechanical world located approximately 60 million lightyears
from Earth."
"Sixty... million! Oh my God, what are they doing here?"
"The Autobot's primary goal was to defend the Earth from the Predacons."
"Who are the Predacons?"
The insignia of the Autobots was replaced with a new one, a strange insect-like symbol.
"The Predacons are what would be considered the cousins of the Autobots. They too are a race of
transforming robots but their goal is military conquest and acquisition of infinite energy."
"Infinite energy? Where did they think they could get infinite energy from?"
"The various resources of the planet Earth."
Kelly gasped. "That's horrible! Did they succeed?" Obviously that was a stupid question.
Earth still had power so they clearly didn't.
"No, their plans were always stopped by the Autobots."
"Who are the Autobots?"
"The Autobots are a race of peaceful tra..."
"I know that, I mean who is in the Autobots."
"Activating member select program. Accessing archives. Name: Optimus Prime. Rank: Leader.
Vehicle mode: Fire truck. Powers: Optimus Prime's weapon is a pistol capable of firing short
busts of combusted plasma. His back contains two high-intensity mortars that can fire energy
bursts over long distances. His trailer contains various assault and detection capabilities.
In addition, he can combine with it to increase his size and strength. Optimus' body also
contains the Autobot Matrix of Leadership."
Kelly knew she should be asking the computer how to get out of here, but her curiosity was
overpowering her good judgement. "The Matrix? What's that?"
"Exact composition of the Matrix of Leadership unknown. History: the Matrix was passed from
leader to leader of the Autobots ever since ancient times. Optimus Prime was chosen to receive
the Matrix from his creator, Alpha Trion. It is believed that the Matrix contains a infinite
storehouse of energy with unlimited potential. It also contains all the knowledge of all the
Autobot leaders. It is also believed that the sparks, or life essences of past Autobot leaders
are stored in it."
"I heard one of them say 'Sideburn.' What's a Sideburn?" An image of Sideburn appeared on the
screen. Kelly cringed when she saw that it was the blue sports car that gave her such a hard
time so many years ago.
"Sideburn is one of the three Autobot Brothers who serve under Optimus Prime, the youngest one.
Vehicle mode is a blue sports car. His powers lie in his speed and maneuverability. His
obsession with red-colored sports cars have been known to cloud his judgement during battle."
"No wonder he was always chasing me. Wait, you said there were three Autobot Brothers, who are
the other two?"
Images of the other two came on the screen as their profiles were read. "X-Brawn is the oldest
of the three. His vehicle mode is a Sport Utility Vehicle. His powers include a grappling hook,
enahnced strength, and two cutlass blades. Prowl's alternate mode is a police car. His primary
job is in law enforcement patrol. His speed rivals that of Sideburn and his strength is a match
with X-Brawn. His powers are a wrist-mounted jet blaster. In addition, all three Autobot
Brothers are capable of accessing a hidden energy, source is believed to be from the Matrix.
They can use that to enhance their skills."
"Wow," Kelly said. She couldn't believe all this, it was like something out of a bad sci-fi
story.
"In addition, there are various sub-groups of Autobots."
"Um... give me the short version."
"The Build Team are primarily engineers and constructors. Their members are Wedge, Heavy Load,
Grimlock, and Hightower. They can combine their bodies to form the giant robot Landfill. Their
vehicle modes resemble construction equipment.
"Team Bullet Train are the largest Autobot sub-teams. Their members are Rapid Run, Railspike,
and Midnight Express. Like the Build Team, they can combine into a big robot called Rail Racer.
Their vehicle modes are high-speed bullet trains."
"I figured that," Kelly said dryly.
"The Spychangers are an elite group of Autobots with abilities to disguise themselves from
anyone as anything. Members: Hotshot, War-z, Crosswise, Random Exertion Vehicle or R.E.V.,
Ironhide, and Mirage. Their vehicle modes are various cars except for Ironhide whose vehicle
mode is a truck.
"The Hyper Force are the Autobot special forces. Members are: Hyper Flight (leader), Shuttle,
Hot Rod, Heavy Duty, Siren, and Firestar. They can combine to form Hyperion. Their vehicle
modes are as follow: Hyper Flight: Stealth Bomber; Shuttle: Spaceshuttle; Hot Rod: corvette;
Heavy Duty: tank; Siren: ambulance; Firestar: P.T. Cruiser."
"Man, you'd think with so many robots that someone would notice."
"There are three Autobots that are not part of any sub-group. Tow-Line is a labor engineer who
can transform into a tow truck. Skid-z is a formula one racer with high-speed driving; and
Ultra Magnus, Optimus' brother who can transform into an eighteen wheeler tractor-trailer."
"So how come humans don't know about this?" Kelly asked.
"Negative assumption. There are four humans with knowledge of the Autobots. Koji Onishi is
one. Koji's father, Doctor Onishi, who also knows of the Autobots, was captured by Megatron
four years ago and forced the Autobots to fight openly. The other two are acquaintances of Koji
Onishi: Karen Howard and Wayne Kon."
"Okay, so let me get this straight, these Autobots battle the Predacons..."
"Negative."
"But you just told me..."
"The Predacons and their former allies, the Decepticons, were defeated four years ago by Omega
Prime, a fusion of Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus who received extra power from children
gathered all around the world. They were sent back to Cybertron on board Fortress Maximus."
"So what are they still doing here?"
"A new threat has appeared in orbit. Unicron, a monster planet. Unicron has dispatched henchmen
all around the world."
"Oh my God! This is incredible, this is horrible! What am I saying, this is AWFUL! Hey Tele-
tram or whatever you're called, how do I get out of here?"
"Walk."
"Great, a comedian. I mean How do the Autobots move around?"
"By transforming."
Kelly's eyes narrowed. "I am really beginning to hate this computer. How. Do. The. Autobots.
Get. From. The. Battlefield. To. Here?"
"The Global Spacebridge, a series of interconnecting tunnels that uses transwarp technology to
propel the Autobots all around the world in minutes. Very few humans know their exact
locations."
"Well is there a tunnel that can take me back home?"
"Unknown, define home."
"Okay, I walked into that one. Is there a tunnel leading from here to America."
"Affirmative."
"Can you show me?"
"Affirmative." A map that looked like a subway map appeared. A redline lead from one area to
another.
"Great! Just fire up the Spacebridge and send me home."
"Unable to comply."
Kelly gave the computer an evil glare. "What did you say?"
"Unable to comply?"
"What do you mean 'unable to comply'?"
"The Global Spacebridge is controlled by the Teletran Artificial Intelligence, codenamed Tai."
"But aren't you Tai?"
"Negative, I am the Autobot Archive files computer. Tai is the Autobot tatical commander and
controller of the Global Spacebridge."
"So how do I contact Tai?"
"Unless you have a radio integrated within your cerebral cortex, you will be unable to contact
Tai."
"Great, I have a tough time programming my microwave."
"Tai should be back soon. She can defeat Database with ease." That came from a different voice.
Kelly slowly turned to see Sideburn, freshly charged and repaired, standing behind her with an
inquisitve glare.
"S... S... S... Sideburn?" Kelly staggered.
"That's right, and you are?"
"About to faint," Kelly replied just as her eyes rolled back into her head and she fell to the
ground.
Kelly moaned and opened her eyes. She found herself in a green SUV sitting in the driveway of
her house. The engine was still running.
"Phew," Kelly said as she turned off the engine. "Just a dream. Giant alien transforming
robots, what a crock." As she got out and went to enter her house, she could've sworn she heard
the SUV turn over, almost like it was laughing at something funny. Kelly shrugged it off, went
inside, crawled underneath her covers, and fell asleep for about three hours.
Hot Rod: Koji's foster mother, George Connor, was kidnapped by Gateway and taken to Europe.
Koji and Sideburn team up with the Build Team to find her, but little does anyone know that
this experience brings back painful memories for her. The next episode of Transformers: Robots
In Disguise: "Flashback." So get ready to roll out!
A/N: I know this episode was mostly dialogue and I'm sorry. The next episode will contain more
action.
