"Speech"         "Minicon Speech" (from another fic)      /Flashback\       'Thought'      

[Dream]          ----- = moving forward a certain amount of time or change of POV

Author's Note: Due to some constructive criticism from Phantom 1, I've decided to add in a part that I kinda....forgot. I was so caught up in writing this that I totally forgot it. It's where Tim kills Cyclonus. That scene has been extended....and a bonus scene with the Decepticons is also at the end. I put this up as a third chapter because I didn't know how else to let you guys know that this fixed version is here. Well, enjoy!

Response to the Reviewers

Whitefaerie – I'm doing just that.

Rosian – Not a bad idea. I like it.

Merced – It's like you're in my head....get out of it! O_o

Ashana – Glad you're liking it, hope you enjoy this chapter, too.

DarkQuasar – Thank you for your constructive criticism, and not flaming. I'll try to be more descriptive in this chapter, and I'm gonna revise the first one. I'll hopefully add more buildup to Tim's 'death'. And about this idea being done in an episode *inhales deeply* WHAT?!?! It's been done before!? Man...and I thought I was being original.

King of Cons – You're right, that would be ironic.

Siren – Alright, hope you enjoy this chapter.

Phantom 1 – You're right. Optimus would be more disapproving than he was. That was actually the part I forgot about. I'm adding that in, so I hope it's better. So this idea has been done before?....Well, there goes my originality. And I said I thought Cyclonus was the weakest Decepticon. I never said I thought he was weak in general.

Chapter 2: The Revenge of Tim

Song: Synthetic by Spineshank

Warning: This chapter is not for Cyclonus fans!                   

                      At the Decepticon base on the moon, Cyclonus deeply grinned as he laughed with delight. "Did you see the look on his face when I shot him?!" Sideways sighed as he rolled his optics. He uncrossed his arms, and stood up straight from the leaning position he assumed on the wall. The Decepticon's head popped off and transformed into a Minicon as Sideways transformed into a purple motorcycle. Rook, Sideways' Minicon, landed on the seat of the Decepticon, and the two sped off to unknown parts.

                      "Geez, what's gotten into him?" But before Cyclonus could rant on, Megatron interrupted. "Perhaps it's because you interfered with my plan to destroy the Autobots! The only good thing that happened today was getting the Minicon. We could have destroyed those pests, but no. You had to kill that human. Pull a stunt like that, and I will strip you of all your Minicons! Do I make myself clear?" said Megatron, leaning forward in his throne. Cyclonus' optics widened, and he immediately kneeled. "Yes, crystal clear!" Megatron leaned back.

                     "Good, now get out before I turn you into scrap!" Cyclonus quickly walked out of the throne room, heading for his quarters. He was safest there, wasn't he?

----------- Meanwhile, at the Autobot base...

                      Tim had been interrogating everyone around the base, trying to find out exactly what happened. So far, he knew that he was, in fact, a transformer. He also found out, from Optimus, that his old body was being repaired, but it would be a while before it was finished. A few weeks at least. Tim smirked somewhat. 'It does take a while to find that many donors, all with my blood type At least I can finally see what it means to be a transformer.' He found out that his human body was fatally damaged. If they didn't temporarily make him an Autobot, he would have died.

                       Tim later asked for a mirror, or something reflective, so he could see what he looked like. He was told by Red Alert to walk around the base, and come back to the command center. Tim did just that, wondering how that would help him see his new form.

Tim noticed immediately that moving around came naturally to him, like it did when he was human. Transforming, that's another story.

                      When Tim returned to the command center, Red Alert showed him screen shots of him from the security cameras. 'Wow...I look cool!' thought Tim. He was easily one of the tallest Autobots, but not as tall as Scavenger. His entire chest area looked like the cockpit of some aerial vehicle. Tim assumed that his alternate mode was a helicopter, considering he had four blades on his back. Similar to the two blades Cyclonus has on his back.  His back was also covered with what looked like Apache helicopter wings. And they even had missiles sticking out from the sides.

                      What looked like a tail to a helicopter was folded upwards on his back, preventing the four blades from moving. Both of his shoulder's had mounted rocket launchers facing towards the ground. Everything from the elbow down looked normal, except for the place for Minicons to attach. Tim smiled. 'Cool, I can use Minicons!' His legs appeared heavily armed, although they weren't. His face was what amazed Tim the most. It looked just like him! Of course, with the exception of the purple skin. And the totally yellow eyes. The rest of his head looked like he was wearing a helmet identical to the original Megatron (from G1).To top it all off, almost all of his body was army green. The only parts that weren't green were his thighs,  hands, and elbows. They were the same shade of purple as his face.

                       Tim hadn't been branded an Autobot yet, due to lack of....whatever they use to make the symbol. But knowing the Autobots, they wouldn't make Tim an Autobot if he didn't want to be.

                       The newest crew member, AKA: Tim, was currently at the shooting range with Hot Shot. The three kids were there, watching their friend adapt to a new life. Tim pulled off the gun magnetically attached to his right thigh, and aimed at the target. Hot Shot and the three kids watched with great interest.

                       Tim had bet his friends that if he could get three shots in a row, they would each pay him one dollar. If he didn't get it, he would pay them one dollar each. Of course they would pay him once he returned to normal.

                       Bang! Tim had just nailed his second shot, and Carlos was getting nervous. "Uh, guys, I think we might lose this bet. Tim just needs one more shot, and he has my soda money!" Tim heard this, and smirked. "Get your wallets out, because I'm gonna be three dollars richer!" He took aim once again.

                     "Don't get too cocky." Said Hot Shot. Rad swallowed hard. He normally didn't bet with Tim, but when he did, it was normally very close. Tim had the target right in the crosshairs. He pulled the trigger...just as the Minicon alarm went off. He missed.

                        "NOOO!" shouted Tim. "Yes!" exclaimed Alexis. Rad and Carlos high fived each other. Tim ran to the control center, with Hot Shot and the kids following.

------------Five minutes ago at the Decepticon base...

                       The Minicon alarm had been going off in the base for some time, and all the Decepticons were present...except for Megatron. "Were could he be?" asked Demolishor to no one in specific. Before anyone could answer, (like they would) Megatron rushed in. "Where were you, Megatron?" asked Starscream.

                       "Where I was is non of your concern. Now let's move out and retrieve the Minicon before the Autobots do!" said the Decepticon leader, who was running towards the teleporter. "I got a bad feeling about this." Said Cyclonus, walking towards the teleporter.

-------------The Autobot base...

                    "Tim!" called Optimus. Tim looked over, and walked to the Autobot leader. "Yeah, whats up?" asked the ex-human. "Before we go, I want you to have a Minicon partner. I'm sure you remember Over-Run." Said Optimus as Over-Run walked up beside him. "Of course I do," said Tim, looking down on the Minicon. "He's my little buddy!" If his face would've let him, Over-Run would have smiled.

                   "Guess We're partners, now. I'm looking forward to working with you, Tim." said Over-Run. "Yeah, me too. But before we leave, may I ask a question?" asked Tim. "Sure, what is it?" said Optimus. "How do I transform?" But before Optimus could answer, Tim did just what he asked.

                   Tim automatically jumped into the air, and fell forward at ninety degrees, he looked like he was lying on his stomach in the air. Suddenly, his chest area folded itself upwards, covering Tim's head. The shoulder mounted rocket launchers turned one hundred eighty degrees, and his arms folded to where his chest was. The helicopter tail also folded itself downwards, and his back split in half. Then, both halves of his back rotated at ninety degrees away from each other, and seemed to lock in place. His legs bended backwards, and his feet flipped upside down, revealing a pair of nasty looking guns.

                 Tim fell onto the ground with an 'oomph' Hot Shot chuckled. Rad looked on with shock. "Well guys, how do I look?" asked Tim, half joking. Carlos was the first of the three kids to speak up. "Dude! You're an apache helicopter!" Tim would have grinned if he had a face. "Sweet. But how do I move?"

                 Red Alert spoke up. "I've never flown before, but an old friend of mine told me how. He said that all you had to do was use both of your propellers, and that's it. But that's all he said." "Cool, but do I say 'Transform' to trans-" Tim was interrupted as he transformed. "form." Finished Tim.

                "Alright, you can practice your flying once we get to the Minicon's location. Red Alert, Smokescreen, I want you two to stay and guard the base. Let's move!" exclaimed Optimus.

---------------------At the Minicon's location.....

                  Optimus, Scavenger, Hot Shot, Tim, and the three kids all warped to the Minicon's location, which was a dry, barren desert. Rad, Alexis, and Carlos all climbed out of Optimus. They wanted to ride with Tim, but he wouldn't let them, since he hasen't flown yet. "Ok, now lets try flying!" said an excited Tim. "Transform!" he exclaimed. Tim transformed....and fell on the ground again. Scavenger put his hands on his hips and chuckled. Tim growled. "Perhaps I should start off by lying down on the ground!" His friends laughed at Tim's joke.

                   "Ok, you guys may want to cover your eyes, because I'm probably gonna kick up a lot of sand." Tim warned. The three humans did so, not wanting to rub their eyes for hours on end. Tim then thought hard about what Red Alert said to him.

"I've never flown before, but an old friend of mine told me how. He said that all you had to do was use both of your propellers, and that's it. But that's all he said."

                 'How can I 'use both of my propellers'? Hmmm....Well, think of them as another set of arms or legs. Yeah,  that's a good way to put it' Thought Tim.

                   He didn't start off as well as he hoped, but Tim eventually got into the air. And before he knew it, he was flying like he'd been doing it for years.

                    "Show off." said Over-Run. "Let's see what kind of artillery I have." Said Tim. "Ummm." Was all he could say as he launched several missiles into the distance. "Hehe, guess I got missiles." "Alright Tim, I need you to come down for a moment." Said Optimus. Tim playfully pouted, but obeyed. "Transform!" exclaimed the apache. Tim reverted back into his robot form, and landed in front of Optimus. "Wooaah." Said Tim, nearly losing his balance after landing. "Are you alright?" asked Optimus. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just need some gettin' used to!" "Good. Listen, would you like to help us find the Minicon?" asked Optimus.

                   "Sure, what do I gotta do?" asked Tim. Before Prime could respond, five familiar figures appeard in the distance. Tim looked over at the Decepticons, and his eyes narrowed. 'Cyclonus!' Thought Tim. Over-Run looked up at his partner, seeing both of his fists clench. Over-Run leaned away From Tim. Megatron looked around, and quickly saw the Autobots standing in the middle of nowhere.

                   "Ah, Optimus Prime! Nice day to die, isn't it?" said Megatron to his long time rival. The Decepticon leader looked over at Tim. "And I see you brought along a new friend. He doesen't look familiar, must've been brought online recently." said Megatron.

                   For Tim, the only things existing were him, and Cyclonus. 'That bastard, he's taken my life away! Now I'm gonna take away his!' thought the enraged Tim.

I can never feel the way you do
But it still becomes me now
I can't take the way you do
But it's still inside me

                        "Transform!" Shouted Tim. The ex-human changed into the apache helicopter and launched himself at the Decepticons. "Tim, come back!" yelled Optimus. But it was either not heard, or ignored. Tim screamed as he launched several missiles at the Decepticons. Although most were aimed at Cyclonus. "Decepticons, scatter!" Megatron quickly ordered as he dived past several missiles. All of the Decepticons did as they were told.

                        All the missiles that were previously launched caused an explosion, and Tim flew into the smoke, concealing his location. "Scavenger, Hot Shot, attack!" commanded Optimus. Scavenger transformed into his bulldozer mode, and charged at Demolishor. Hot Shot transformed into his sports car mode, and sped towards Sideways. "Optimus Prime, super mode!" yelled out the Autobot leader. Optimus' whole body turned into the torso, and his trailer turned into the legs. The two joined, and Optimus Prime's ultimate form appeared.

                      Cyclonus fired like mad into the smoke, hoping to hit the new Autobot. "Dodge this, moron!" he yelled out. Just then, Tim flew out of the smoke and quickly headed towards Cyclonus. "Transform!" yelled out Tim. He reverted back to his robot mode, and landed right in front of Cyclonus.

Synthetic, I'll become
Synthetic, if it makes this go away

                     "Let me ask you, does a Decepticon like yourself ever experience fear?"

Cyclonus took a step backwards. "I experience fear just as much as you do!" Tim smirked, and grabbed Cyclonus' right wrist with his left hand. Tim then pulled Cyclonus towards him, and pushed on Cyclonus's elbow with his right hand. Cyclonus screamed, and the whole world knew it, too. "I guess you can feel pain." Said Tim as he pushed harder.

                    Megatron heard Cyclonus' screams, and rushed to help his soldier. Not that he cared, he just needed all the Decepticons he could get. But before he could get to the two, Optimus socked Megatron right in the face. "If you want to get to Tim, you'll have to get through me!" said Optimus. "With pleasure!" replied Megatron as he pulled out the Starsaber.

                  Hot Shot was grappling with Sideways. But since Sideways' head was a Minicon, he was far stronger. "Traitor, I'll make sure you fry!" growled Hot Shot. "I hope you can back those words up!" countered Sideways. The ex-Autobot then pulled Hot Shot towards himself, ramming his knee into Hot Shot's mid-section. Sideways then threw the Autobot aside and fired his arm mounted laser cannons at Hot Shot.

                  Scavenger was merely toying with Demolishor, being superior at hand-to-hand combat defiantly pays off. Demolishor transformed into his tank mode and fired many missiles at the mercenary. "Come on, Demolishor, you can do better than that!" taunted Scavenger. Demolishor growled, and yelled out, "Blackout, combine!" Blackout, Demolishors Minicon, merged onto his right cannon, increasing its power ten fold. Scavenger raised a non existing eyebrow. "This is gonna be interesting."

                    Rad, Carlos, Alexis, Red Alert, and Smokescreen watched from the base with interest and shock. "I've never seen Tim act so aggressive!" said Alexis. "Yeah, it's like he's a completely different person." Said Carlos. Rad sighed. "You guys don't know Tim like I do." Everyone looked at Rad, waiting for the explanation. "The Tim we all know is one of the greatest people we'll ever know, right?" said Rad. Everyone nodded. "Well, you've never seen the Tim act against someone he dislikes. Or in this case, hates. Whenever someone hurts him, emotionally or physically, he fights back. And he fights brutally."

                   "He's a somewhat dirty fighter, like he'll break an arm or something. But he won't kick them while they're down. But considering what Cyclonus did to him, I'm not sure if that Decepticon's gonna live." Finished Rad.

                   "So you're saying he gets all Bruce Lee if he dislikes someone that much?" asked Carlos. "Yeah." Responded Rad.

                    Cyclonus could feel his arm breaking under the pressure, and it certainly didn't feel good. Suddenly, Tim let go. Cyclonus dropped down to one knee, clutching his aching arm. Tim stepped backwards, and grinned. 'Let's try this!' thought Tim. He held out his right arm, and yelled out, "Over-Run, combine!" Just as those words were spoken, a small jet flew up next to Tim, and attached itself to his arm. A small cannon came out from Tim's right palm.

Still I waste another day of my life
And it sickens me to feel this way
Now I can't make up my mind, is this right?
How, I let you get inside of me? 

                   Tim walked back up to Cyclonus, and picked him up by his neck with his left hand, lifting him off of the ground. Cyclonus, fearing for his life, swung a right hook at Tim's face. The punch hit Tim's face, and all Tim did was smile. "I think you should know who I am before I kill you!" said Tim. "Who are you?" asked the Decepticon.

                  Tim smirked. "A few days ago, you killed a human, who was with the Autobots. They managed to save his brain, and put it into this Autobot body. My name is Tim, and that's the last name you'll ever hear!" "You mean you're the brat?!" said a shocked Cyclonus. Tim nodded, and brought his right hand up to his opponent's mid-section. "I think it's time you feel what I felt." Said Tim, charging up the cannon in his palm. "Goodbye, Cyclonus, it wasn't nice knowing you!" were the final words Cyclonus heard as he felt a burning sensation go straight through him.

Twist my words the way that you do
'Cause it falls on deaf ears now
Still, I've learned to numb your views
But they're still inside me

                 Cyclonus' final scream was enough to stop every battle on the field. The Decepticons watched in horror as their comrade had a blast fly straight through him. The blast faded, and a gaping hole was seen in Cyclonus. Tim took one last look at the face, and threw the body aside.

                "Cyclonus..." said Megatron. He needed Cyclonus for developing the technology that the Decepticons used. Megatron held on tightly to the Starsaber pushed Optimus aside, and turned to face Tim's backside.

Synthetic, if it makes this go away

                  "Hey, Over-Run, guess what?" said Tim. "What?" replied the Minicon. "We have one less Decepticon to worry about!" Tim exclaimed happily. Over-Run detached himself, and transformed. But no sooner had he done that, then he saw Megatron charging at them, with the Starsaber in both hands. "Uh-oh!" said Tim "You got that right!" replied Over-Run. "Quick, combine again!" ordered Tim. Over-Run did that, and attached himself to the nearest powerlink, which was on the opposite arm as the other one. Just as the Minicon attached himself to Tim, a panel opened up on his arm. Tim saw what was inside, and pulled out a small, metal bar with his right hand.

                       "What's this for?!" shouted Tim. He could see Megatron getting closer.

Tim then held onto the bar tighter, and a beam of light suddenly erupted from it. "Dude! It's a lightsaber!" exclaimed Tim. Then, his back armor detached itself, and re-attached to Tim's left arm. "Woah, a shield! I'm starting to feel like a knight!" laughed Tim.

                    "This is no game, boy!" yelled Megatron. He swung the Starsaber vertically at Tim, hoping to cut him in half. 'I hope this thing can block it.' Thought Tim. He brought the lightsaber to a horizontal position above his head, and successfully blocked Megatron's attack. But Megatron used so much force, that Tim nearly collapsed from it.

Still I waste another day of my life
And it sickens me to feel this way
Now I can't make up my mind, is this right?
How, I let you get inside of me? 

                        Megatron chuckled. "Not bad, for an amateur!" It was Tim's turn to chuckle, although he was under a lot of pressure. Literally. "Who say's I'm an amateur?" Tim then took his gun with his left hand, and pointed it at Megatron's face.

All this time I thought I was myself
And I thought I never could become you
All this time I thought I was myself
And I thought I never could become you
Wrong

                        "I may not be all brawn, like you. But I make up for it with plenty of brain!" excalimed Tim as he pulled the trigger. The shot wasn't enough to do a lot of damage to Megatron, but it was enough to stun him. Tim took this chance and swiftly shot Megatron in the face a few more times. Like Rad said, Tim was a dirty fighter. Tim quickly transformed into his alternate mode, and backed away some distance.

Still I waste another day of my life
And it sickens me to feel this way
Now I can't make up my mind, is this right?
How, I let you get inside of me? 

                             Megatron couldn't see straight, due to being shot in the face several times. But he could barely make out the figure of a helicopter hovering about, waiting to strike. Sudden;y, he heard missiles launch. Assuming they were aimed at him, Megatron yelled out, "Decepticons, retreat!". Megatron disappeared from sight just before Tim's missiles hit.

                   "You'll pay for what you did you Cyclonus!" said Demolishor as he disappeared.

                   Sideways said nothing as he, too disappeared.

                     Starscream growled as, finally, he also disappeared.

I have become synthetic

                           Tim reverted back into his robot mode, and walked over to Optimus. "How'd I do for my first fight?" "Well, for your first fight, it was very impressive, considering you destroyed a Decepticon. I would've rathered you didn't do that, though. " said Optimus in a low tone. "Hey, it was gonna happen sooner or later, Optimus." Said Tim, trying to lighten the mood. A low moaning noise caused Optimus and Tim to look behind them.

                            "I'm...not...dead yet!" said a very weak Cyclonus. Tim scoffed. "So I didn't kill you, frankly I'm surprised. I shot a blast right through you, but you don't need to worry, I'll finish the job." Tim walked up to Cyclonus, and roughly stepped on the Decepticon's chest plate.

                           "Tim, don't!" said Optimus as he was walking up to the ex-human. Tim held onto his lightsaber tightly, he should've figured Optimus would try to talk him out of it. "Leave me alone, Optimus, I need to do this!" "No you don't, you want to do this. But it's completely unnecessary." Reasoned the Autobot leader. Tim unconsciously stepped on Cyclonus harder. "Someone takes away your life, and you have a chance of taking away theirs. What do you do?"

                           Cyclonus barely managed to look up, and witness a sight he never thought he'd see. 'Optimus Prime is defending me?' Cyclonus set his head back down, maybe they would think he's dead!

                          "I wouldn't do anything, because I'm an Autobot." Replied Optimus to Tim's question. Tim looked at Optimus, and smirked. "I may be a good guy, but I'm not an Autobot!" exclaimed Tim. He raised his right hand, still holding the lightsaber, and swiftly brought it down on Cyclonus' neck. Optimus looked away as the Decepticon's head was detached from what was left of his body. Cyclonus's eyes flickered just before any signs of life left him. His final words were: "I'll.....be....baaaaaa"

                        Optimus sighed heavily. "We'll talk about this later. Right now gather the others. We have a Minicon to find.

------------------------The Decepticon base.

                         Megatron slammed his fist on the armrest of his throne. "That little prick! He actually killed Cyclonus!"  "Megatron..." called Starscream. "What?" snapped the Decepticon leader. "Remember the backup systems?" asked the second-in-command.

Megatron, for the first time in a long time, paused. "Yes, Starscream, your right. I'll get to that later. Right now we need to strategize."

                          This time, Sideways called their leader. "Megatron!" "Yes, what is it, Sideways?" "Did you notice anything odd about the new Autobot?" Megatron pondered for a moment. "Well, his alternate mode was not Autobot-like...why?" "The new guy didn't have an Autobot insigne anywhere on him, on neither form. He might not have an allegiance."

                          Megatron again pondered. "You're right, Sideways. He could make a very good Decepticon, if we can get him over to our side. Decepticons, we have a new objective: bring Tim to the Decepticons! Do whatever it takes to convince him to join us, but don't infiltrate their base!" The Decepticons all left to find Tim. Megatron stayed behind for a moment. 'Soon, with that brat on our side, and the Backup systems,  the Autobots will meet their doom!' Megatron then joined his leaving Decepticons.

Author's Note: So what are these Backup Systems that the Decepticon's were talking about? Will they be able to convince Tim to join their ranks, and become a Decepticon? Who is the father of Chrissie's baby? LOL XD! I couldn't resist.

Well, I hope that ending's better than the last. I was saving that Decepticon scene for the next chapter, but I guess it's better for this one, gives it a better cliff hanger. Well, the third...fourth?....Uhhh....the next chapter is coming up, stay tuned!
