Transformers, More Than Meets The Eye! Part 1

Millions of years ago, the alien planet that's known as Cybertron, was locked in a never-ending civil war, fought between the forces of Optimus Prime's Autobots and Megatron's Decepticons. Thanks to the civil war, Cybertron's once rich sources of Energon was being depleted at an alarming rate.

Foreseeing this, Optimus Prime plans to organize an expedition to find planets rich with sources of energy, in order to fight the Decepticons, using the Autobots' expeditionary spaceship, the Ark. However, thanks to Soundwave, Megatron's ever-loyal intelligence officer, the Decepticons have prior knowledge of the expedition, using the Decepticons' warship, the Nemesis, to purse and ambush the Ark.

Decepticons boarded the Ark, Autobots and Decepticons fight in close quarters, crash landing onto a planet. And so for millions of years, the Autobots' expeditionary spaceship lies situated into the walls of a long-dormant volcano, strewn with the remains of Autobots and Decepticons alike.

However, the long-dormant volcano that the Ark has crash-landed into, erupted, causing the Ark's computer Teletraan I to be re-activated and deploy Sky Spy to scan for new alternate vehicle modes for the Transformers, eventually finding a military base.

The first Transformer to be repaired and reactivated by Teletraan I is the Decepticon's Skywarp, who quickly gets Teletraan I to repair and reactive his Decepticon comrades. Here is a list of Decepticons and their alternate vehicle mode…

Megatron: Mitsubishi Type 10 Main Battle Tank

Soundwave: Komatsu Type 82 Command and Communication Vehicle

Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp and Seekers: F-4EJ Phantom II Fighter-Interceptor

Reflector: Canon F-1 Camera

Leaving the Ark, Megatron and the Decepticon's mission has unchanged: Find the resources needed to defeat Optimus Prime and the Autobots. The ever disloyal Starscream, leaves a parting shot in an attempt to bury the Ark, only to unwittingly knock Optimus Prime into Teletraan I's repair area.

Eventually, all of the Autobots were repaired by Teletraan I, before the Sky Spy was shot down by Japanese soldiers, having being spotted scanning JSDF vehicles. Here is a list of Autobots and their alternate vehicle mode.

Optimus Prime: Isuzu Type 73 Heavy Truck

Jazz, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe: Toyota High Mobility Vehicle

Prowl and Bluestreak: Type 87 Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun

Ironhide and Ratchet: Type 96 Wheeled Armored Personnel Carrier

Hound: Mitsubishi Type 73 Light Truck

Bumblebee: Type 89 Infantry Fighting Vehicle

Cliffjumper: Type 16 Maneuver Combat Vehicle

Wheeljack and Trailbreaker: Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicle

Mirage: Type 87 Reconnaissance and Patrol Vehicle

The Megatron and the Decepticons eventually found a site to construct a base of operations, with the plan being to use the planet's resources to create a new warship and to create Energon cubes.

In charge of construction, Starscream had to 'use his imagination,' in order to find materials for construction. Eventually, he found the abandoned mines that were used to mine metals, having several Seekers to mine the metals needed for the construction of the warship and base of operations.

In the meantime, Optimus Prime and the Autobots realised that the Decepticons were repaired and reactivated as well, so Prime sent Hound and Cliffjumper on a reconnaissance mission, with pair successfully finding the Decepticons constructing their base of operations and plans to steal the plant's resources.

Returning back to the Ark, they reported to Optimus of what the Decepticons are planning. With the gathered information, Optimus Prime orders the Autobots to 'Transform and roll out!'

Meanwhile, JSDF technology analysts at Alnus Hill were analysing the Sky Spy and despite it being partially destroyed by Japanese 7.62mm bullets, the technology of Sky Spy was incredible, with the Sky Spy was taken to be sent to Japan's top scientists and engineers for further analysis.

In the meantime, the JASDF spotted a large contingent of F-4 fighters, a Type 10 main battle tank and a Type 82 Command and Communication Vehicle, heading straight for Alnus Hill, with JASDF sending Japanese F-4 fighters to intercept, only for them to be shot down by the unknown and now hostile F-4 fighters.

Raising the alarm, the JSDF prepared their defences, as the F-4 fighters, the Type 10 and the Type 82 Command and Communication Vehicle came upon them, transforming into their robot mode and attack the JSDF Alnus Hill base, attacking the JSDF left, right and centre, destroying many JSDF vehicles, and killing and wounding many JSDF soldiers.

Itami and the newly-formed Third Recon Team was forced to fight the Decepticons, with the JSDF most powerful weapons at Alnus Hill, being superlatively useless against the Decepticons, who began to steal the JSDF's fuel reserves to convert into Energon. The JSDF would have been completely destroyed if it weren't for the Autobots arrival, who began to fight the Decepticons.

Megatron: Don't interfere Prime!

Optimus Prime: Give it up, Megatron!

Megatron: The universe is mine!

JSDF soldiers watch on, as Autobots and Decepticons battle out, only for the Decepticons to retreat and escape the Autobots, having achieved the first part of their plan. Ironhide wanted to give chase, but Optimus Prime stop him, as giving assistance to the people the Decepticons attacked, was more important than going after the Decepticons (besides, they are too fast in the air.)

Initially, the JSDF were distrustful of the Autobots, going as far as to open fire on them. however, Itami, now being the highest commanding JSDF officer that survive the Alnus Hill attack by the Decepticons, orders the JSDF soldiers to stop firing on the Autobots. When asked why, he pointed out that the Autobots are helping the JSDF, and not actively shooting them!

The Autobots began to assist the JSDF, by clearing rubble and searching for survivors. The JSDF casualties were exceptionally heavy, with Lt-G. Hazama being one of the many casualties. Not only that, the Deceptions completely destroyed the defences and the infrastructures of Alnus Hill. For the JSDF and the Autobots, it was going to be a long day... and they were being watched...

The Transformers will return after these messages…

To be honest, this was one of the most difficult chapters to write, as it's difficult to write chapters for three separate stories on two different websites while balancing a normal life. And to be frankly honest with you, I'm feeling that its time to move on to a new story, more specifically, Operation Schwert der Rache (shameless advertising is shameless.) But on a more serious note, there will three more chapters that I will do for the fanfic. These will be my final chapters in this story...

1. Transformers, More Than Meets The Eye! Part 2

2. Avengers Assemble!

3. The Unbiased History of the Saderans.

These three chapters will be the final chapters of this collection of stories. No amount of pestering will make me deviate from these plans. But of course, you'll probably ask about the proposed ideas in Chapter 29? It more of suggestions, rather than a solid plan of what I want to do. Sorry if I can't flesh out your ideas into stories guys.

Also, I have been aware for some time of They Came, They Saw and They Conquered has been posted onto the Fanfic Recs/Gate on TV tropes. Thanks, Selivan for recommending my fanfic! (even if there are better fanfics out there!)
