Many years later:
Lancex looked around him. He was trapped deep in a prison on some random planet by some random boss bot who felt threatened by Lancex. Lancex had been working on a way to get out, and thankfully, the ignorant boss who had been keeping Lancex captive was too stupid to notice. It didn't take much longer for Lancex to break free of his bonds. The first thing he did was take care of the bot who had held Lancex captive for so long. That was a little to easy for the bot.
Once the boss bot was dealt with, Lancex looked around. He saw that he was in a treasure room of sorts. But the treasure wasn't gold or stuff like that, but special weapons that could be activated in many different ways. There were energon based weapons that needed certain phrases to be said to work, blasters that were deadly accurate, droid bots that were broke down and in need of repair, and other such things. All of those weapons were useful in the right hands, but Lancex wasn't interested in any of them.
Then, in a random corner of the room, a shine drew the attention of Lancex. The bot carefully made his way over, not wanting to set of random weaponry and possibly destroying this place and himself. Thankfully, Lancex made it over without setting anything off. And he found the object giving off the shine – it was a special sword. He had heard of this kind of sword before, but hadn't seen one. He carefully picked it up and tucked it in a special place in his systems.
He was about to leave when he noticed something else that caught his optic. It was something that would, help with seals and ruins and the like. Lancex figured it might come in handy at some point and so he picked it up and placed it into another special chamber on his body. He figured he was done with selecting from the plethora of weapons that lay at his feet. He now had one objective – find his family. Little did Lancex know that the weapons he selected created a portal that would lead him to finding his family. He stepped inside, hoping he wouldn't be led astray.
Meanwhile, Optimus was on earth, fighting against Megatron and Starscream, who now had the ability of invisibility because his rebuild was screwed up. Optimus was in his office, safe for the moment. He took out a special hologram in one of his special compartments on his body. In the hologram, was the only picture he had of his son. Optimus sighed, hoped the little one was safe, and then put the holo away. There was work to be done.
