Hello, bots and cons. Centurion here and welcome back to Dustformers: Season 2. Last time we were here, we just finished the Siege of Atlas multi-parter which I hope everyone liked. The Dinobots and Grimmcons had a huge fight as Volcanicus and Grimmlord, though Slash had to stay in the background, but before that, the Dinobots engaged in battle with the Predacon, actually managing to damage it a little, General Ironwood begins to reveal himself when he declares Winter and others who defend the Autobots traitors to Atlas and it's future.

Not to mention, Megatron shoots Starscream into a wall for tipping off the Atlas Military of their attack all because Laserbeak spied on him. Good old Soundwave.

*Vale. 30 kilometers outside Vale City Limits. Abandoned Warehouse. 15:23 pm*

The kids, their families, Winter and the other Atlesian Military defectors were inspecting the warehouse to see if it would fit Winter and the others. "It's certainly spacious." Dr. Clovis commented.

"Which is perfect for the Autobots." One of the former Atlesian Military soldiers added.

"Not to mention Atlas won't be able to find us since we've disconnected our trackers." Another former Atlesian Military soldier cut in.

"Thank Oum for that." Jaune darkly muttered. It was no secret to the others and their families, including his own that Jaune now held some animosity toward the Atlas Military for their abduction and coercion into helping them try to discover any perceived weak point of the Transformers.

"Do you think any other Transformers will come to Remnant?" Corporal Weir asked. He and his group came to Winter's location when they were informed that her tracker was deactivated.

"Based on the track record so far, I'd say yes." Blake answered calmly.

"Right now, I'd be more focused on what Shockwave plans to do with those six vehicles he took from Atlas." Weiss brought up.

*Southern Vale Ocean. The Nemesis. Shockwave's Quarters. 17:41 pm*

The Decepticon scientist was tinkering with the six vehicles he 'acquired' from Atlas during their attack. All of them were lined up in his laboratory as he tinkered with them. Not only that, but he had six chips of some kind lying on a control console. "Soon, you six will have life."

Soon, he picked up the six chips and inserted them into the vehicles. Said six vehicles suddenly had bright lights glowing where the chips were inserted. Seconds later, the vehicles were brought to life. "Arise, Commandos!"

The dark purple and dark blue Battleship transformed with battleship cannons on his back and arms. "Welcome to the world of the online, Maelstrom."

The dark purple and steel ZIL-29061transformed to robot mode and had a more feminine figure She had drill wheels on the front of her legs and a poled drill weapon on her back. "Good to have you, Subterror."

The dark purple and dark green Schwerer Gustav transformed and he had two smaller cannons on his back. "You will be a great benefit to our cause, Gustav Max."

The dark purple and light blue Patrol Boat transformed and like Subterror, had a feminine figure, but it was a little more curved than Subterror's. "You will provide a nautical advantage, Sly Strike."

The dark purple and orange Space Shuttle transformed to robot mode. "You bear some resemblance to another comrade, Air Burst."

Last but not least, the dark purple and black B-2 Spirit Bomber transformed which also had a feminine figure, but it was more muscular than the other two. "Ah, Smart Strike. Welcome."

*Southern Vale Ocean. The Nemesis. Main Hall. 19:00 pm*

Megatron and the other Decepticons were once again summoned to the main hall by Shockwave. The Predacon was also there, just lying there. "I wonder what Shockwave has called us here for this time." Thundercracker pondered.

"Maybe it's another Predacon." Skywarp guessed.

"Whatever it is, it will fail like the Predacon did against the Dinobots." Starscream mocked.

"I don't think you should be talking, Starscream. After all, it was you who tipped off Atlas about our attack on them." Flamewar reminded.

"Not to mention you got beaten by the human Weiss who turned into an Autobot named Frostsprite." Strikecharge snickered.

"Oh, yeah!" Octoshock began laughing out loud, but immediately stopped when Shockwave and the Commandos entered the room.

"Who are these six, Shockwave?" Megatron asked.

"Meet the culmination of one of my projects, Lord Megatron: The Commandos! Maelstrom, Subterror, Gustav Max, Sly Strike, Air Burst, and Smart Strike!" Shockwave announced.

The other Decepticons were admiring the Commandos. Thrillipede, Floodblast, and Trap Widow were starting to drool over Maelstrom's more muscular form while the other male Decepticons just couldn't take their optics away from Subterror and Sly Strike.

"Excellent work, Shockwave." Megatron grinned. "Even in defeat, you manage to find some success."

"There he goes, kissing up to Megatron." Starscream angrily whispered.

"Maybe because Shockwave is actually able to accomplish tasks unlike you." Sly Strike teased with a grin. Starscream sputtered as the others snickered.

"Calm yourself, Sly Strike." Maelstrom softly ordered.

"Sorry, sir." Sly Strike softly apologized.

"I want to destroy things!" Gustav Max shouted.

"Don't worry, Gustav Max. I have a feeling you'll get your chance." Air Burst commented.

"Like you can say that, Air Burst." Sly Strike retorted. "All you can do is just stick around up in the air."

"Enough." Shockwave ordered. "Lord Megatron, might I suggest that they be given a test run."

"An excellent idea, Shockwave. You may pick whatever location you deem fit." Megatron said.

*Vale. Vale City. Arc Residence. 20:30 pm*

The others were having a sleepover at Jaune's house, but this was also meant as a means to talk to him about how he's been acting with the Atlesian Military defects. "Alright, Jaune. Not that we're not happy to be here, but we also want to talk about your attitude towards my sister and the others." Weiss stated.

"Look, you know after what happened, what with our abductions and all, I don't trust anyone from the Atlas Military, not to forget that General Ironwood's slowly becoming a nutcase." Jaune brought up.

"While that is true, this is my sister we're talking about. She deserted General Ironwood along with all of those in that warehouse." Weiss retorted. "Believe me, Jaune. I do understand your distrust, but please, try to trust them. It'll hurt more if you don't even try."

"Jaune, we know you're still reeling from Bumblebee's death." Jaune visibly flinched at Yang's reminder of the death of his best friend from another world. "I know I would feel the exact same if Wildfire died. My point is, if you continue like this, you'll fall into a darkness you won't be able to escape from."

Jaune sighs heavily. He knew Weiss and Yang were right, but there was now a dark place in his mind that felt like it was trying to take over. "I know you're right, but right now, there's something in my mind that feels like it's screaming that you're wrong."

"Come on, Jauney. It's time to move on. This is destroying you." Nora was close to begging.

"I-I don't know if I can." Jaune rubbed the back of his head.

*Vale. 30 kilometers outside Vale City Limits. Abandoned Warehouse. 6:01 am*

The next day, Winter and the other Atlesian Military defects had woken up an hour ago. They were still setting up their equipment they took from Atlas after disabling all the trackers in them. "Well, this is all of it." Private Spyke informed.

"Good work, Private Spyke." Dr. Clovis smiled. "If we are going to help our Autobot friends, we have to be there every step of the way."

"Nice, but I have the feeling that Arc kid doesn't trust us." Corporal Weir stated.

"Not like we can blame, what with us abducting their families and all." Private Rayne reminded.

"We have to think of some way to make him start to trust us." Private Bueller said.

Suddenly, the heard weapons fire a few miles outside their new base. They ran outside and saw the Commandos randomly destroying or was it? Looking closer, they saw they were destroying abandoned houses near a village. "Have we seen those Decepticons before?" Winter asked.

"No. They're new." Corporal Weir answered. "We'd better call those kids, Winter."

"Good idea, Corporal Weir." Winter agreed as she pulled out her scroll.

*Vale. Vale City. Arc Residence. 6:41 am*

Jaune and the others had only woken up a few minutes and had breakfast when Weiss got a call on her scroll. Seeing it was Winter, she immediately answered. "Winter? What's wrong?"

"Weiss! There are six new Decepticons near our area!" Winter shouted.

"Alright. We'll be down there right away." Weiss assured and the call ended. "Let's get going." As soon as she said that, the ground bridge opened up and they went through.

*Vale. 30 kilometers outside Vale City Limits. Abandoned Warehouse. 7:02 am*

The kids came through with Ironhide, Pursuit, Snipewing, Hound, Wildfire, Zig, and Zag in tow. The Atlesian Military defects were already there to meet them. "Alright. Where are these Decepticons?" Zig asked.

"Over there. Follow us." Private Bueller gestured. They did just that and saw the Commandos.

"Yeah, they're definitely new." Wildfire said. "Shockwave must be tinkering around once again."

"Enemies detected!" Air Burst announced as he fired his weapons at the group.

"Move!" Winter ordered and everyone moved out of the weapon's fire. Suddenly, Subterror popped out of the ground and attacked them. With her, they barely managed to dodge that. If that wasn't enough, Gustav Max fired his cannons at the ground, knocking them onto their backs.

Sly Strike and Smart Strike fired many missiles at the group who barely got up to evade them just in the nick of time. "These Decepti-creeps are highly coordinated!" Snipewing exclaimed.

"You have no idea, Autoscum!" Air Burst taunted as he continued firing his weapons. They hit the ground, knocking the group down again.

Sly Strike was standing a couple feet from Wildfire. "Wow! You think you have mechs falling at your feet? Please, you don't have a figure compared to me." She mocked.

"Maelstrom, sir. I think it's time to finish this battle." Air Burst suggested.

"I like the way you think, Air Burst. Commandos! Unite!" Maelstrom shouted. The kids knew what was coming due to experience with Grimmlord and Infestor. Maelstrom transformed into a torso while Air Burst and Sly Strike formed right and left arms respectively, Gustav Max transformed into legs, and Smart Strike and Subterror formed right and left hands.

"NOW YOU FACE WARBOTRON!" The new Combiner declared.

"Oh, dear Oum! Not another one!" Yang complained. "We already have two of these guys to deal with!"

Warbotron fired from the cannons on his back, shelling the ground. The entire group fired back, but the new Combiner didn't feel it at all. Instead, Warbotron fired a handheld cannon at them which hit directly where they were running, sending them to the ground once again.

"This Combiner seems smarter than Grimmlord and Infestor!" Jaune shouted.

"It does seem like this Warbotron knows a lot about tactics!" Pyrrha agreed.

Warbotron brought his right hand down which had a hidden triple drill that quickly shot outward. The kids, Atlesians, and Autobots jumped out of the way and resumed firing. This caused Warbotron to stand fully upright again. "YOU THINK THAT WILL HURT US?! NOTHING CAN MATCH WARBOTRON!" He declared as he fired all his weapons, scattering the kids and Autobots all over the place. "THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE KIDS WHO HAVE STOPPED OUR COMRADES? PATHETIC! YOU ALL HAVE NO TACT!"

A ground bridge appeared and Warbotron separated back into his components and they walked through. After that, the group got back up. Jaune said nothing to Winter and the other Atlesians and walked away. Pyrrha followed him while the others stayed to talk to them. "Thank you for letting us know about this new Decepticon team." Hound thanked.

"No problem. We want to prove that we actually mean we've defected from the Atlas Military." Private Spyke insisted.

"We realized our mistakes when the Decpepticons attacked Atlas." Dr. Clovis added.

"We're willing to make up for our mistakes." Winter finished. Weiss hugged her sister. "If only General Ironwood could see that not all Transformers are evil."

"Doubtful on that one, Ice Queen." Yang said with seriousness. "You saw how he got before we came back to Vale."

"Yes, Well, we will continue to do our best to make you all trust us, especially Mr. Arc." Winter was determined.

*Cybertron. Unknown Location. Unknown Time.*

The strange Decepticon wielding the strange pickaxe weapon was overlooking a large ship. "It's almost time..."

Hello, everyone. I hope you all liked this chapter of Dustformers: Season 2. We've finally gotten to a chapter/episode I've been waiting to write for a long time: The Commandos! Now, these Commandos aren't the same ones from 2001 Robots In Disguise, but an OC version given by OC Conrtibutor: cryo threshold. Like the actual Commandos team, they can also combine, but into a robot called Warbotron.

These Commandos consist of:

Maelstrom- The leader of the team who transforms into a Battleship.

Subterror- A quiet individual who transforms into a ZIL-29061 (with a mining drill on the front).

Gustav Max- A big and stupid bruiser, but makes up for the lack of brains with brawn. He transforms into a Schwerer Gustav.

Sly Strike- A femme fatale who treats her comrades with respect and transforms into a Patrol Boat.

Air Burst- The air support of the team who transforms into a space shuttle.

Smart Strike- Despite her looks, she's a quiet individual like Subterror and transforms into a B-2 Spirit Bomber.

Warbotron is the combined form of the six of them, giving the Decepticons another tactical advantage. Thank you, cryo threshold for this Decepticon Combiner team. Now, this team have similar designs to actual characters from multiple Transformers series. They'll have more time to shine in Dustformers now that they're here.

Now, that's not the only thing in the chapter/episode however. Jaune expresses his distrust for Winter and the others which is mostly understandable considering they were all abducted. The others, especially Weiss try to convince him to try and move on and start to trust them.

In the meantime, we pay another visit to Cybertron where we see the same, pickaxe wielding Decepticon overseeing a large ship. What could this mean?

As usual, if anyone has any ideas for this story, please let me know in the comments/reviews, or personally PM me.
