"You can't be serious!? Ratchet, you realize this sounds insane right!?"
Oh Ratchet knew it sounded insane, he was well aware of how crazy this situation was but there was no other explanation if there was he would have offered an alternative theory.
"I'm well aware of how it sounds Arcee, but everything points to him not being of our world" Ratchet sighed looking at the group who were various degrees of confused or like Arcee disbelief.
"Wasn't that just some joke on Cybertron, other worlds can't be real!" Sure Bulkhead had heard rumors and some bot's even believed in such things but it couldn't be real.
"You guys are alien robots from space who turn into cars and fight other alien robots, you have a bridge that can take us anywhere on earth and you guys are telling me the multiverse can't exist!" Everyone looked up at Miko who was close to falling off the railing as a wide grin was on her face, she just couldn't believe how completely pessimist they were being.
"She does have a point" even Jack had to agree with Miko on this one, they were inside of a base occupied by something out of a Sci fi movie.
"And as someone who questioned him fully he is totally from another universe, he said everyone on this team is on his team except me and Arcee how would he know that if he wasn't from another universe" Smokescreen said rather matter of factly.
Everyone stared at Smokescreen unsure if they should point out that any decepticon could get that information.
"What about the Shadowzone, if its real then maybe he's telling the truth!" Raf spoke up, having been worried about his best friend since the bots told them what had happened that night.
He wanted to believe it was real then that meant they could get Bumblebee back home if the one claiming to be him here could tell them where he was.
"The shadowzone was just some groundbridge accident, we still don't know why it exist" Arcee didn't want to believe it, not that Bumblebee wasn't still alive she knew him and she knew wherever he was that he was alive but if there really was another world then what did that make their world?
"Ratchet, are there any physical proofs to his claims" Optimus spoke looking at his medic as he himself didn't know what to think of this situation, the possibility of alternative worlds wasn't just a myth he had spent many years in the archives and had read many things not made available to the public.
It was possible but they needed proof.
Ratchet quickly pulled out the datapad he had been using to document the minibot's systems, it held everything he had learned in the time the bot was in shutdown.
He brought up what had proven the minibots claims to him as he also pulled up the scans he had of their Bumblebee's spark signature, he specifically matched up their spark's core wavelength that single signature that was unique to every cybertronian and couldn't be copied even in twins.
The children didn't know what they were looking at completely unfamiliar with how the bot's sparks worked while the rest except Smokescreen could only stare in shock.
"Thats impossible" was all Arcee could utter, as there was no denying it.
Everything was silent for a moment as the information sunk in, well all except one human girl who was bored of all the talk and decided to go see the proof herself ignoring Raf and Jack who told her to stop.
"That wasn't all that convinced me, I found this in his subspace I don't know what it could be but it gives off an energy similar to our own spark's" Ratchet revealed the glowing shard that he had discovered on the mini bot.
No one knew what it could be but the fact it seemed to give off spark energy wasn't a very comforting thought as Optimus himself couldn't help but feel like the shard felt familiar, the energy it gave off it was almost like.
"Hey guy's, Miko ran off" The bot's looked up at Jack as they noticed the girl had in fact left the railing as no one was really surprised by her actions.
"Hey, he's another version of Bumblebee we don't have to worry about him hurting Miko" Smokescreen said as that wasn't really what the other's were worried about.
It was what Miko would say to him as the girl was a little to brazen for her own good, they began to head toward's the medbay as Smokescreen offered a servo too Jack and Raf who climbed on.
The group could already hear Miko who was apparently teasing the new bot about his height as an unfamiliar voice yelled back that he wasn't small.
The scene they came upon was Miko giggling a very satisfied look on her face that they recognized from the many times she'd win arguments with Bulkhead.
The two reacted quickly when Ratchet called out Miko's name the girl turning to look at them both sheepish yet completely satisfied with herself, while the minibot turned to them optic's going wide as he looked at them Bulkhead was pretty sure the other was resisting a jaw drop from the reaction.
Well that was one way to make an entrance.
Bumblebee tried to stop staring he was just glad he managed to keep his actual jaw from dropping the last thing he needed was to look like more of an idiot, he was already staring after all though to be fair they were staring at him too.
There was an awkward silence before.
"Hey guy's, I thought he'd look like our Bee why's he so short"
"I told I'm not small it's my frame! I could be bigger if I wanted!" Lies complete lies while he could change his frame his height wouldn't change much, a bigger frame meant it would be heavier and he didnt have the strength for that.
He had been made for speed not power.
"Miko, he's a minibot their suppose to be small" Arcee said as she glared at the yellow bot, this was suppose to be Bumblebee? Another version of her best friend and a bot she considered a brother, he was nothing like her friend at all.
At least that's what she told herself.
"Well it's not like your that big either!" Mouthing off to the femme he didn't know wasn't smart but would everyone stop mentioning his height already! He got enough slag about it back home, if it wasn't Bulkhead it was Prowl or Optimus reminding him about it.
"Yeah but-" Miko however didn't get to finish her response in time.
"Miko stop antagonizing him!" Ratchet cut in as he noticed the yellow bot was beginning to get extremely tense, his height seemed to be a sensitive topic and the last thing they needed was to give him a reason to distrust them.
The girl sighed but nodded as she finally noticed that the yellow bot actually seemed really bothered by the height comments, she hadn't meant to actually hurt his feelings she had just been joking.
Bumblebee looked at Ratchet completely shocked that the medic put a stop to it, he wondered why? There was no reason for him to intervene, no one ever stopped it before.
"Miko" Bumblebee was broken out of his inner thoughts by who he had assumed was Optimus the tone was one he was familiar with, his Optimus used it on him and Sari when they did something they weren't suppose too.
The girl sighed and turned to look up at him again "Sorry about teasing you, I was really just joking I didn't mean to actually hurt your feelings" Miko really hadn't meant anything negative, she was just so used to joking around with the bots but even if this was another version of Bee she just learned that he was obviously a very different bot.
This time Bumblebee's jaw did drop as he wasn't expecting an apology at all, why was she apologizing? Then again Optimus had basically done the voice on her so she was forced to apologize, yep that had to be it! No one ever meant it when they said sorry.
"It's fine, you didn't hurt my feelings" he crossed his arm's and looked away from the girl and bots, this was awkward so very very awkward he almost wished something like a decepticon attack would happen.
Because he was starting to get weirded out by how weird everyone was acting, the only one who was acting normal was the femme trying to glare holes into his armor.
"So your really Bumblebee?"
The bot looked towards the voice as it was the smallest human Smokescreen was holding who spoke, looking at him as if trying to find something that was the only way he could describe it.
"Yeah, probably not as big or weird looking as your version" Bumblebee had also noticed the way everyone's armor looked was very different from his own, he didn't doubt his counterpart looked just as strange.
"Wait, why can you talk?" That question came from the taller boy as Bumblebee looked at him oddly.
"With my voice box?" He was confused by the question, it's not like his counterpart was mute or something right?
Though that's when Miko spoke up again pointing an accusing finger at the boy" Jack, different world maybe what happened to our Bee hasn't happened to him or maybe it won't! Or maybe-" the girl devolved into what if scenarios as everyone in the room was left either shocked in Bumblebee's case as he was mute in this world! Seriously!?
While the other's were slightly horrified at the idea of something like that being a universal constant.
"Do I want to know how the other me ended up with out a voice" Bumblebee muttered to himself not noticing the way he was being looked at by the autobot's.
Though one bots patience was beginning to run thin with all the silly theatrics.
"Can we stop with the joke's and get to the serious questions! Like where our Bumblebee went and what does he know about it!" Arcee's tone quickly ended any of the lax atmosphere that had been created.
Bumblebee found the femme's annoyance weirdly comforting it was the only reaction that felt normal so far, even if she was currently trying to glare him offline it was way better than the humans joking around and the other bot's reacting to things he didn't know.
"Come on Arcee we were getting to that" Smokescreen tried to ease the tension only to have the femme glare at him too, he still smiled as he knew better than to say anything else when she had that look on her face.
"He probably ended up in the fight that I was in before the allspark shard went all loopy, if he's as big as you guy's he's fine" Bumblebee explained before anymore comments could be made, after all if his alternative self was still taller than him he doubted he got destroyed or anything.
At least he hoped so, you never could tell with how crazy Blitzwing was and how stupid Lugnut is.
There was momentary silence before.
"Did you say an allspark shard?" Ratchet wondered if he had heard the minibot correctly.
Bumblebee nodded as he opened his subspace to pull out the shard when he noticed it was missing, before he could panic however Ratchet stepped up revealing what he had taken.
"Hey! When did you-?!" The yellow bot sputtered for a moment before he figured out how Ratchet had the item" sheesh do you search everyone who comes in here" Bumblebee crossed his arm's at the violation of his personal privacy.
"Your telling us that's a piece of the allspark! Like the allspark, allspark, powerful life giving allspark!?" Bulkhead couldn't believe what he was hearing, no one could really as they were barely grasping alternative world theories.
"Unless it's evil in this world, yeah" Bumblebee knew he shouldn't be enjoying some of the faces these bots were making but it was sort of funny, in a, I broke the universe sort of way.
Every bot in the room even Smokescreen looked at Bumblebee then at the shard Ratchet held before looking back at Bumblebee.
"Did you break a piece of the allspark off?" Smokescreen asked as he couldn't think of how else the yellow bot could have gotten it.
"No way, it got blown to pieces when Megatron came back and were sort of trying to find all the pieces now" Bumblebee said which of course only confused everyone in the room even more.
Optimus stepped up as his mind was still reeling from the fact that his medic was currently holding the piece of an alternative version of their allspark.
"Could you explain this from the beginning" Optimus asked, he couldn't help but wonder exactly what was happening in this bot's world that the allspark ended up destroyed.
The very reason he had sent their own worlds allspark off world was to keep it from Megatron, had things transpired differently in this bot's home.
Bumblebee looked up at Optimus remembering the leader existed as he had been so silent, he scratched the back of his helm nervously.
"Uh, you guys want the long version or the short one" because there was alot in between crash landing on Earth fifty years ago and now.
Everyone even the humans looked at one another before" Can I make popcorn!?" Miko asked, if they were going to get a huge story about this Bumblebee's world she wanted snacks.
"I second that!" Smokescreen said, even though he couldn't eat the human fuel.
Everyone except Bumblebee who thought Miko was joking watched as the girl ran off to make said popcorn.
"Wait! She was serious!?"
The Nemesis was currently flying over South America, the decepticon warship hidden among the clouds that made up the upper troposphere.
The inside of the ship was as dark as it's paint job as drone's walked through its corridors the night shift doing it's job for the current rotation, the only true movement came from the Nemesis most silent inhabitant as in the control room a tall dark mech stood in front of several terminals.
Four tendrils moved about seemingly at random for anyone else except their owner who was working several different systems at the same time, the bright screen reflected onto the blank visor of Soundwave who was reviewing footage of the previous night's battle taken by Laserbeak.
Soundwave had been the one who originally picked up on the foreign signal and alerted his leader to the anomaly, Breakdown and a squadron was then dispatched as they needed to get the odd energy source before the autobot's.
He skipped most of the images of Breakdown fighting the autobot wrecker and scout, what truely intrigued him was what happened when the scout fell into what Soundwave had discovered was a vortex that gave off a signal similar to a spacebridge.
The battle moved away from the area the moment the vortex vanished but Soundwave had his cassette scout where the vortex had once been, it could return and he still hadn't even been able to analyze why the anomaly had even happened.
Soundwave's assumption about the portal returning had been correct as the next images to play show something he had only seen through his cassettes eye's, the void dropped a yellow passenger who Soundwave had at first assumed was the autobot scout before realizing the armor and size were incorrect.
The portal vanished after that as once again the same energy signal previously found came back but Soundwave never got to search for it, he had to open a bridge for Breakdown and recalled Laserbeak leaving him to instead review the footage she had taken.
He closed up on the image of the yellow bot, a minibot far smaller than any he had seen before as he had the same color scheme as the autobot's scout but the armor was all wrong; it was far to how would one say.
Childish, in appearance.
The spymaster could only theorize what this could all mean as he prepared the information most important to relay to Megatron, so far that minibot was at the center of what had happened that night but without access to the bot that's all he could do theorize.
And he did have one possible theory.
Tucking that thought away for later Soundwave returned to his work, the ship didn't run itself and with Starscream now having betrayed them all the silent mech was now responsible for the former second in commands duties with the eradicon's flight paths.
A stray rather stupid thought ran through his processor, he did not receive enough recognition for the amount of work he did.
The good thing about having giant robots as your caretakers, you got to hang out with your best friend every single day.
The bad news was she still didn't know where her father was and she was always left behind when her friends went out to fight the cons.
Like really! She could handle herself, she had done perfectly well against Mixmaster and Scrapper that one time! She turned the whole warehouse against them while everyone else was out, she could protect herself if she had too!
Sure facing an actual decepticon and not two oil obsession robots were two completely different things but still, it wasn't fair and that was that!
Sari gave a nod that no one could see as she mustered all the courage and stubbornness her eight year old body could show as she stared up at Ratchet's torture chamber.
If the guys were going to ignore her and not give her any awnsers then she would get them herself! After all this concerned Bumblebee, her best friend was missing and those cogs weren't giving her any awnsers!
Sure it was late when they left and even later when they came back but Sari was always worried when her friends went to fight the decepticon's, she wasn't stupid and knew very well that her key could mean the difference between life or death. It was morbid to think that way but it was the truth, she was always afraid that one day someone wasn't going to come home and like Bumblebee told her; the key couldn't always fix everything.
Slapping her hands against her cheeks she shook away those thoughts, she already lost her dad and since Optimus and the others weren't going to tell her what happened to Bumblebee it was up to her!
With a final look at the door she walked forward as it automatically opened, the sensor's thankfully were sensitive to movement so she didn't have to be a big robot to get inside.
The usual items of the med bay filled Sari's eyes first, items, computers and berths to tall for her to look to closely at as she barely paid them any mind, instead her eyes focused on the very tall yellow figure who had seemed to have been pacing and was now staring at her; her mouth unfortunately worked faster than her brain as she pointed at the unknown bot.
"So thats what they were hiding from me! Those bolt for brains!" Oh Sari was annoyed, very annoyed, this is what they didn't want to talk about.
Her best friend was missing and instead of telling her about this they just pushed her to the side and told her she was to young an that they'd explain things later, a frown formed on her face as she was always treated that way even Bulkhead who was Bumblebee's best friend did it.
The only bot in this base who treated Sari as more than a kid was Bumblebee.
Though now that she had finally gotten to see what the big secret was about she now focused on the new bot.
He was big was what she noticed first, bigger than Prowl but still smaller than Bulkhead. He also had the doors of what she guessed was this bots alt form on his back, she'd never seen any decepticon or autobot with such a feature but she also hadn't seen alot of autobots or decepticon's.
What was odd was his armor, it was shaped or molded differently than her friends. If Sari were to make a comparison he looked more like those CGI robots she'd see in movies than her friends who had a more friendly look to them, it was weird but he still had the autobot insignia on his chest.
What Sari found the most weird however was his color scheme, he was mostly yellow with black accents just like Bumblebee and even though this bot had a different shape and face an maybe he didn't have a mouth from the looks of it she was oddly reminded of her friend.
She stared up into the bots blue optics and he seemed to be staring back studying her the way she was him as she took a breath and allowed the annoyance she felt at the others to fuel her bravery at confronting someone she didn't know.
So, my best friends missing, the guys keep talking but won't tell me anything and they said they had another bot in here when they thought I wasn't listening so your going to tell me what's going on!"
Yelling at a robot she didn't know and was several times her size wasn't the smartest idea, but she was frustrated, tired and had already lost her father. She was at least going to find out what happened to Bumblebee if the other's weren't going to tell her so they guy must have the awnsers!
She still kept staring at him as she noticed that despite not having a mouth he looked very surprised at her, she saw the doors on his back move upward dor a moment before going back to their regular position; she wondered if that was the equivalent of a dog and its tail.
She kept up the staring contest trying to look brave but unknown to her she looked cute and impatient to someone many times her size.
The silence and staring contest ended when a loud rush of air left the yellow bot as his shoulders seemed to slump slightly, the noise was one Sari had learned was the cybertronian equivalent of a sigh.
"Look, I'd like to tell you what happened but you can't understand me"
The words were clear however even though as he spoke Sari felt an odd buzzing sensation in the air like the soundwaves from an amp, she just pointed at him annoyed" I can understand you just fine, your stalling!" Can't understand him really!?
Though that's when the bot went ridged, the doors moving up again as she recognized the action as someone when they were surprised. It was really weird how expressive this bot was when he didn't really seem to have many facial expressions, though that's when he slowly began to approach her acting as I'd he moved to fast he'd scare her away.
Yeah right, she wasn't afraid!
He was soon right in front of her lowering his frame to be more level with her height "I'm not stalling I just don't know how you can understand me, I don't really talk the way your friends do"
"What do you mean?" Sari didn't understand what he meant, besides the weird sensation she felt when he talked he sounded like any other bot.
"I talk using a translator because I don't have an actual voice, humans can't understand me because I'm using a cybertronian language to talk to others" Wait, cybertronian's had translators? Why couldn't he talk normal? Others couldn't understand him?
More questions ran through her mind faster than she could stop them as she picked up the key that was always hanging securely around her neck, the allspark key was powerful and it could basically do anything when it came to electronics. Maybe it was acting as a translator to this bots translator and that's why she got that weird buzzing feeling as she showed it to the bot and explained what it was and why she thought she could understand him.
"I see, So before you ask me questions I'd at least like to know your name" the bot asked her.
"It's Sari" she reached out a hand towards the yellow bot, very much aware he couldn't give her a normal handshake as she just took one of his digits in her hand.
It was both cool and a bit scary when she remembered exactly how big these guys could get, especially decepticon's which made her glad her friends were mindful about their sizes though poor Bulkhead still accidentally destroyed things; though when the bot introduced himself she was once again shocked.
It was just a coincidence right? There could be more than one right? She couldn't help but ask and explain her confusion as he seemed to have the awnsers the guys wouldn't give her. So when this Bumblebee offer her a servo she readily climbed on, eager for the awnsers as she giggled when he said that he might sound crazy.
"My friends are a bunch of alien space robots, doesn't that sound crazy?" She looked up at the yellow bot from where he placed her on the berth, seriously she was living a Sci fi movie and her dad made stuff that helped the city.
Also she was eight so their wasn't alot she wouldn't believe, not that she'd tell him that.
"The reason my name is Bumblebee is because I'm not from here, this world the place I come from isn't as bright or flat as this, it sounds weird but I'm from another universe"
Full stop, she didn't know what she expected to hear but that. She grabbed onto this Bumblebee's arm and looked up at him, the multiverse was real! It's was real! That was just, no way! Though that did explain the names and similar paint job, huh, did that means their were more than these two; were there hundreds maybe thousand's of different versions of her friends!?
Wait, did that mean there were evil versions of them too. There were some movies she watched with Bumblebee awhile back where the heros were bad guys in another universe as she voiced this to the alternate version of her best friend, though she now realized if he was a different version of Bumblebee he really was different in both size and appearance.
She hoped everyone on his team wasn't as big as he was or her Bumblebee wasn't gonna be happy about it. Though he still hadn't awnsered what happened to her friend" wait if your here then where's our Bumblebee, did you guys switch places? Or did something bad" after all she had no idea how this was possible, what fd he was hurt or hadn't found this Bumblebee's friends or or.
Her freak out was thankfully stopped by the yellow bot awnsering her.
"I think we did, I fell into a groundbridge and found myself here if something similar happened to your Bumblebee then he's probably with my team right now"
"Oh that's good" even though she had no idea what a groundbridge was, she assumed it was a portal of some sort as another thought struck her" hey is everyone on your team like ours here!? Is Optimus still your leader, oh is Prowl still all broody like batman in your world" he didn't seem to know who she was so maybe she didn't exist in his world or they hadn't met, as she was made to stop asking questions when Bumblebee raised a servo for her to stop so he could awnser her.
"Optimus is the leader of the autobots, I don't know who Prowl is I assume he's that two wheeler on your team and we apparently share batman in our dimensions" a comic book character existed in two worlds! That was awesome in Saei's opinion though that's when she took in what he said about Prowl.
You don't have Prowl in your world!" Who else didn't exist in this Bumblebee's universe, Bulkhead, Ratchet?
"We could have but I never met him, but I do have Bulkhead and Ratchet on our team" oh okay, so those two did exist on his team" so since I awnsered your questions, you up for awnsering some of mine?" Bumblebee asked.
Sari nodded as she had at least gotten some awnsers to her questions and even though she had many more it was only fair she awnsered gus questions too" Sure, ask me anything" she smiled, trying to make herself look as tall as she could to a giant robot.
"Where are we specifically, like where in the city?"
"Oh, your in outskirts of Detroit this place belongs to my dad but the guys use it as their base" Sari explained as this time those doors on Bumblebee's back shot straight up and didn't come down like the last few times, she was pretty sure he was giving her a shocked expression.
"They stationed themselves in the outskirts of Detroit! Detroit of all places? How do they hide from the humans with the base so close to the city?"
"They don't hide from humans, Optimus and the others help out the city when theirs accidents or when the decepticons attack the city looking for an allspark fragment" Sari was a bit confused and little scared about how much Bumblebee seemed to be freaking out, it weirdly reminded her of her own Bumblebee's reaction to shocking news.
This one's optic was even doing that movement she learned was similar to a human eye twitch.
Though before she could ask him if he was alright the rest of the team came in an she was busted, Sari groaned as Optimus began his boring lecture about her ignoring the rules when Bumblebee stood up and defended her; he actually seemed really annoyed that they left him here by himself for hours.
She actually found the fact her friends left an unknown bot alone in the base where if he was a danger and could have hurt them a bit funny, they were the adults after all and yet from their expressions they apparently hadn't thought about that except for Ratchet who looked a bit more grumpy than usual.
She was trying not to laugh as an alternative version of Bumblebee chewed them out, she couldn't help but notice the irony of such a thing as she decided that the best course of action was to relax, sit back and watch the show.
And then ask Bumblebee if he knew how to get her best friend back, after all it wasn't like this was permanent; in the movies they always made it back right?
The mine that made up the base for the decepticon's currently on earth was noisy despite the stars that blanketed the night sky.
Said noise was being caused by the bases resident hot heads as in the main room of the mine where most of the decepticon terminals were stationed and Sumdac's prison held, Lugnut was throwing a heavy punch at Blitzwing striking the triple changer in the faceplate causing him to switch faces as the con did a rather dramatic impression of holding his undamaged black and red face.
The reason for their fight? Honesty neither one remembered anymore it had just started with Lugnut complaining about their leader being gone and of course that annoyed Blitzwing and here they were.
Usually the two of them would have been punished by their lord by now for acting out once again, but Megatron wasn't in the base at the current moment which meant the two decepticon's could damage eachother to their spark's content...or so they forgot.
"Will you two walking disasters stop this already! I'm trying to dissect that drone you two brought back and yer fighting ain't making it easy!"
Before the two could react to the words both yelled out in pain as their systems received painful shock's by the medic who currently had two of his cable's connected to their frame's, they retracted in a second but the shock was still felt through their systems as Blitzwing's face switched once again as he growled at the medic.
"HOOK! What was that for you crazy scrapheap!" Though Blitzwing was cursing the medic out, in his mind he didn't dare try and attack the old mech; he might be decrypt and out of date but he always took him and Lugnut down without any effort.
And Blitzwing hated that there was someone he couldn't overpower who wasn't his lord.
Hook just shook his helm as he looked between the two decepticons and remembered why he hated working close and personal with Megatron, but his services were unfortunately required oh why couldn't Scaple have taken this assignment.
The old medic was one of the oldest bots to work on the decepticon front line's, Hook had been sparked back in the old days when the council had been starting out and corruption had not yet taken place due to the low amount of cybertronian's and the lack of governmental structure.
To say Hook was a relic was an understatement.
"Are we calm now!? I swear you youngbot's are all the same not a screw right in any of ya! I better not hear a scream outta this room or so help me Primus!" The green and purple medic turned to head back to his medbay as both Lugnut and Blitzwing watched him go refusing to move until they were sure he was gone.
Though the moment he left someone else began to laugh as a black and white con walked out of the shadow's from where he had watched the whole interaction happen, he also wasn't very big for a decepticon he wasn't even half as tall as Blitzwing himself as the praxian's doorwings twitched in amusement.
"You two never learn do you, but given all the punishments Lord Megatron has given you both and you still act like a bunch of younglings I shouldn't be surprised" the police con chuckled completely unafraid of the two rather dangerous officers.
"Barricade" Lugnut growled at the actual youngling, he was a recent addition to their ranks having joined not long before the decepticons had gone into hiding near the end of the war.
Many didn't like dealing with the scout/assassin, not only was he stealthy but if he managed to find a weakness in your mental armor he would fully take advantage of it.
"Now what did Hook say Lugnut" Barricade grinned at the death glares he received from both decepticon's.
"One of these day's that fragger is going to offline, painfully" Blitzwing growled before stalking off to another part of the base, Hook didn't say he couldn't destroy something else.
Lugnut said nothing only shooting Barricade and the area that led to the medbay a glare before heading to his quarters, his frame still felt small zaps from the electricity and since he was avoiding the medic the best way to deal with that was recharge.
Barricade was left behind in the room, well except for the movement's of Sumdac the man having gotten used to the arguments between the decepticon's over the last few months that he had been captured so he just ignored them as he worked on the project Megatron wanted him to complete; if he had any hope of getting out of this alive he had to comply.
"Has it ever occurred to any of you to take it easy when our dear lords away my good fellow, honestly how I ended up here with you ruffians I will never know" the voice oddly held an English accent as it's speaker didn't even look away from the monitor's where they were reviewing footage.
Barricade turned towards the speaker to glare at someone that he himself considered the most annoying mech to ever exist.
"I am taking it easy, it's those two who are always fighting like seriously why'd we get assigned to this backwater planet anyway!?" Earth was such a primitive planet with even more primitive creatures.
The decepticon sitting in front of the monitor turned his helm as he stared at Barricade" Because our lord order us Cade, while I might not always agree with our cause I will not complain about my post" with that he went back to studying the image's, hacking into human cameras was beyond easy for someone like him as he studied the battle that had taken place.
"I thought I told you not to call me Cade" Barricade grumbled much like the youngling he was, he might be skilled at the art of assassination but he was still the youngest one in the base and he hated that reminder.
"Would you prefer child?" Now he was just being a jerk.
"Frag you Tarn!" With that final curse he left the main room not willing to deal with Tarn any longer than he had too.
Tarn however smirked as it was so easy to aggravated the kid" Works everytime, perhaps now I can work in peace" he wasn't speaking directly to anyone as he turned back to his work.
He stared at the screen as he mainly looked at the pictures involving the yellow minibot right as the allspark fragment decided to go haywire, without moving a servo the images moved on their own as Tarn zoomed towards the image of the new bot that had replaced the other.
The color's were the same but the frame was completely different and the very first instinct of the new cybertronian had been to attack once he realized he was in danger, a reaction quite common among those who have seen the battlefield one to many time's.
That wasn't all that caught his attention as the other seemed to be a Praxian which was odd, Praxian's had been wiped out by the council during the war as the frame type was now very rare among cybertronian's.
Barricade was one such individual, the youngling was possibly one of the last of his kind from his many centuries of research, the colonys had been growing smaller seeing how they had to isolate themselves from their own species.
