Jack Of All Trades

On a planet that is known for its many open roads, races, speed and of course no stopping or slowing down as everyday and night vehicles travel the roads which twist, bend and even loop around each of its tall skyscrapers but even the roads go higher than the buildings. This planet is called Velocitron one of the many planets that have been colonized by beings who are able to transform into vehicles but more than just cars and bike they are able to turn into trains, tanks, jets even ships but this planet only harbored racers on the ground except one and he is the only one on the entire planet who can do what he does as above the tallest road a sleek black jet with silver highlights was blasting past it causing some of the velocitronians to swerve as they didn't expect a jet to blast by creating a sonic boom behind it but what no one didn't expect was a blue race car that was using two different types of blue, an aqua like blue with navy blue while on its side doors it has a vent look while at the front the car was so low to the ground it looked like hitting a bump would cause the car to crash but thanks to the roads being sleek and smooth it wouldn't happen the car also has a spoiler at back looking like the rest of its owner smooth and sleek even the hood, fender and the front bumper looked like the spoiler on the back. Taking a sharp turn the car ended up shooting off the road onto a road that was underneath the previous road but this one was heading in the direction of sleek black jet with its silver cockpit glistening in the light the jet had also gotten low to the road with blue car catching up to it but suddenly the jet had transformed into a sleek black car with an arrow head designed hood and front bumper while the jets cockpit remained but was now in the middle of the car while along the rims, and edges of the car it had silver bio-highlights that shined with life and faded to black before shining again but directly behind it a silver exhaust fume had came out and was blown over towards a dull sign that said speedaway highway, once the exhaust smoke cleared the sign changed drastically as it now had a flaming arrow pointing towards the way the sleek black car went and shortly after the blue car past the sign.

"Joat get back here!" A voice shouted out from the blue car as Joat had taken a shortcut by going off the road and disappearing from view but the blue car still chose to go the way Joat went and found itself driving on a sleek orange race track that was forming beneath Joat who was now driving wherever he wanted.

"Gotta catch me first Blurr!" Joat declared before he started to drive downwards in a steep slope with the ground fast approaching and Blurr was right behind him, when the ground was right in front of them Joat suddenly went upwards, took a left around a building and kept doing that till he was coming up on to the roof where he made the orange road stopped and took off with Blurr close behind him, as they were flying through the air before dropping back down onto another road that leads into a plaza with six ramps leading up to a platform with a circular gate, swerving around the front of one ramp Joat had stopped with Blurr stopping directly in front of him.

"Are you crazy?!" Blurr demanded and after a couple seconds of silence they both broke out into laughter and transformed into bipedal bots and they both looked almost identical but Joat had a special mask with as the bottom was a waveline that mimicked his speech while his optics didn't blink like normal they were more like a camera but it also allowed him to make his optics turn into an X if he wanted to and on top of his helm was a downward arrow crown and as for Blurr he didn't have what Joat has as you are able to see his faceplate and and the sides of his helm were more vents but smaller while on top of his helm was an ornament of an opened engine exhaust and he has a similar crown like Joat but it went around his helm with the end bits going flat off at the back.

"What can I say I have many tricks up my arms and you gotta admit that was fun." Joat said as his optics are back to normal as they are black with a small silver ring in the center.

"It sure was but you do realize I gotta meet up with a couple of my-" Before Blurr could even finish another voice spoke up.

"Is that you Blurr?" A bot said as this one was a bot who had a red, orange and yellow paint job while in the middle was a strange symbol that Joat has never seen before was there with a flame pattern going off from it, along the arms of the red bot are a set of three exhaust pipes and on his back is a yellow spoiler but next to the bot is a yellow with a black stripe and to Joat he didn't look much like a racer.

"Bee! It's wonderful to meet you again, who's your friend?" Blurr asked while Joat remained quiet as he didn't like talking to other bots unless they were his carrier and split-spark.

"Blurr this is my friend Hot Rod." Bee introduced but Joat was surprised to hear the old way of speaking as everbot has the voicebox upgrade that allows to speak without sounding like a machine.

"Well, Hot Rod welcome to me and my Split-sparks home planet but watch out were the fastest on these tracks." Blurr said and had unknowingly had attacked Hot Rods ego.

"You're the fastest? Nah, I'm the fastest bot ever known." Hot Rod said and before the two had gone off declaring that they were the fastest while Bee watched and Joat remained quiet with his arms crossed over his chest and shaking his helm.

"What about you? Why aren't you backing your split-spark up on his claim of being the fastest bot?" Hot Rod suddenly asked with all the optics on him at the same time.

Joat was scratching the back of his neck cables in nervousness with his optics being half closed but looking to the bottom left.

"What Symbiote got your glossa?" Hot Rod asked.

"Actually, he doesn't like to speak to many bots, the ONLY bots he will ever speak to me and our carrier." Blurr interjected before Joat could respond.

"Why's that?" Hot Rod questioned but right on que two vehicles had come one was a sleek red bike and the other was a strange three wield car that was heavily armored both were heading straight for Joat who stood there waiting, the two vehicles had transformed mid driving and slapped what looked to be some sort of green goop before transforming back and drove off.

"..." Joat was silently enraged with Blurr stepping back a bit as a strange cloud of dark green was vented out of Joats back with two cylinders coming out and filled with a white liquid.

"If I was you two I would step back." Blurr suggested and the two did just that as Joats under arms transformed into two blasters with the white liquid leaking out, he aimed both at the ground in front of him before firing the white mist out freezing the ground, he started to direct it into a ramp of ice while behind him more and more of that dark green smoke was being vented out and when Joat was finished he aimed both blasters behind with the cylinders on his back changing into a red mist, this time when he fired it was fire coming and as it came into contact with the dark green smoke he had vented out it had suddenly turned into an explosion that sent him launching forward onto the ice ramp and off in the directions where the two vehicles went.

"Where is he going?" Hot Rod asked looking towards Blurr who held up ten digits and started to slowly countdown while Bee and Hot Rod looked at him, when Blurr reached zero another explosion had gone off and when everybot nearby looked they saw a giant black cloud of smoke rising to the sky, then another explosion went off again, again and again but this time two objects came flying out towards where Blurr is, when the two objects crashed into the ground in front of them, off to their right an engine was heard but it didn't sound like a race cars engine it sounded much like a tanks engine and that was exactly what came around the corner was a sleek black tank with twin barrels that had pipes connecting to them that have a silver bio-highlight to them.

"That's where." Blurr finally said with Joat rolling up towards the two black smoking bots before he transformed again with the cylinders changing again to a green colour but before he fired he looked towards Blurr like he was asking something but Blurr held up one digit and mouthed one limb, with that Joat walked up to the dark red smoking body and pressed one nozzle right between the part of the armour that bends at the knees and started to spray the green mist inside and stopped before moving towards the green bot and did the same before walking over towards his split-spark.

"What did he just do to them?" Hot Rod asked while Velocitronians just walked by while people just visiting looked before walking away.

"You want to explain?" Blurr asked Joat who nodded his helm and then started to mimic a good bend of his knee and when he was done he mimicked a knee that was getting hard to bend like the gears were rusted and when Bee and Hot Rod looked at the two with a puzzled expressions Blurr had just sighed. "What he did was sprayed their knee gears with an acidic mist which also have rust properties when it comes in contact with metal which means he basically rusted their gears that allows their knees to bend." Blurr explained and the two looked at Joat with a surprised expression.

"I can also do so much more." A voice said but it didn't come from Blurr who was looking towards his split-spark and so did Bee and Hot Rod while Joat was idly playing with his digits and was making sure no one was watching or could be listening in.

"Like what?" Bee asked.

"My body is able to withstand many types of gas used for example if a normal bot was to be hit with what I call nitrogen or liquid nitrogen for its full name, they would start to freeze up due to cold temperatures freezing their circuits over and then their motor gears and etc while I would remain fine like nothing even happened to me." Joat was saying but Hot Rod had gotten a question.

"Why would nothing happened to you?" He asked so Blurr and Joat had transformed into their race car modes with the other two following suit as the four drove off on one of the many tracks.

"It's because my body was born like this, I can use any different types of gas and be resistant to them which is why I also suffered no explosive damage from the explosions I made. Anyway it is not only nitrogen I can use but also acidic gas, a special compound mixture which I made that makes my sprayers able to shoot out fire from them and finally something I don't ever use unless I want something to change." Joat explained as they continued their drive when they suddenly came to a stop thanks to the road being unfinished.

"I thought this track was finished?" Blurr and Joat questioned at the same time but before anything more can be said a repair drone was hurling towards them as it was covered in a brown substance that was spreading across its body.

"Rust Plague!" Joat exclaimed with Blurr, Hot Rod and Bee swiftly turning around and driving as fast as they could.

"Split-spark you better get carrier before she is infected with the Rust plague." Joat heard from within himself and so with swiftness he transformed into that same sleek black jet and shot off with an even louder sonic boom resounding behind him he even shot past his split-spark and his friend in an instance as he was quickly heading towards what looked to be a medical facility but not far off from it on one of the race tracks the rust plague was spreading rapidly which is a cause for concern for Joat, so picking up the speed he barged right in through the front doors transforming when he does so and started to run past reception straight for where his carrier was which was helping a patient.

"Joat what are you doing here?" Joats carrier asked and from what he can remember she used to be the leader of velocitron as her white and red colour scheme with her great shining cobalt blue optics shining but slightly dimmed as she too felt what Joat was feeling which was fear and not a small amount of it but he only felt fear and a lot of it.

"Look out the window." Joat said through the bond he shared with his carrier and she did that only to see what Joat feared which was the rust plague rapidly closing in on them.

"Joat we need to get your split-spark and must leave immediately, even if we were to save all these patients they would end up spreading the rust plague if they were to catch it, I hope Optimus will forgive me for making such a decision." Joats carrier responded and quickly the two went straight to the roof of the building where Joat had transformed into the same sleek black jet but was bigger, opening his cockpit his carrier had jumped in with the cockpit closing up tight, with that done Joat was now flying where his spark told him as he wanted to find Blurr.

He found Blurr but it was already too late as Blurr was slowly turning to rust standing at the ground-bridge controls, he too saw Joat flying towards him so he gave his split-spark one last smile and pointed towards the space-bridge, as the two made it to the other side Joat transformed with his carrier landing on her pede he had tried to go back through the space-bridge to save his spilt-spark because he knows he can save him but two local police enforcement grabbed his arms stooping him as he silently raged at being stopped from saving his split-spark but it was too late now he can feel it, he can feel the empty avoid in his spark as his split-sparks presence faded away Joat tried to latch onto the presence but he couldn't and after the empty void came extreme pain all over his body which cause the two to let as Joat gripped his helm tightly as he screamed from the pain, the cylinders on his back were constantly changing from red, icey blue, toxic green and silver white he even vented all four out but at a slow rate, upon seeing this his carrier shouted.

"EVERYONE RUN! GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE HE KILLS US ALL!" She shouted she did to try and save the many people that remained of Velcitron and those who are coming and going from other colonies, as Cybertronians of varying sizes and frames rushed out of the large the Local police enforcement helped as Joats cylinders suddenly began to enlarge as if the gas contained inside couldn't escape and seeing this his carrier also ran to get out the building.

With almost everyone outside the building Joat made the gases trapped inside him vent out faster with the ground becoming covered in a thick layer of the mixed gases creating a fog it wasn't until the entire was filed with the stuff before his optics snapped open as he unleashed a final scream of pain that everything around him exploded, the space-bridges, the floor, the walls, the ceiling everything exploded all that remained was Joat lying prone knocked out in the middle of the crater and flying outwards from the explosion were body parts of Cybertronians who were unlucky to escape the blast zone.

With everything almost calmed down more of the police enforcement arrived to see the crater and were shocked about but they had jobs to do as they helped any of the people that made it out safely, while some and a couple of special suited Cybertronians went down into the crater they found it to be filled with a toxic green gas which slowly corroded the floor they are walking upon, moving towards the epicenter they found Joat still knocked out but most importantly intact seeing this they act quickly as the special suited Cybertronians were in fact titan classed warriors who are carrying a special made cell which is see through they put it on the floor close to Joat while two others picked him up and put him inside it. With that they sealed the cell as it began to fill up with the green gas with Joat secured inside the two Titan classed warriors picked the cell back up and started to walk back up the crater where every-bot can see the special cell filled with the toxic green gas.

Seeing this Override ran to the nearest police enforce who is an Azure blue with pink highlights femme who looked to be a two-wheeler. "Where are you taking him?!" She demanded from the police enforcer.

"He'll be going to the department for safekeeping and when he wakes up he'll be heading to the council for his crimes of murder and damage of council property." The femme enforcer stated as she went with the other enforcers that are escorting Joat to the police department where he will be under lock and key before being escorted to the council where he will face trial for his crimes.

A few hours later.

Joat came too but he couldn't see anything due to the heavy and thick toxic green fog he had vented and this time instead of venting out the gases he sucked them back in through some hidden air vent as his cylinders filled up and were replaced with spare internal cylinders.

When he could finally he was scared scrapless as he saw in front of two police enforcers one was the femme from eailer and the other was a white and black, with door wings and a red crown that looks almost in a shape of an arrowhead but pointing down and wider, he had the word police written in black on his doors.

"Jack Of All Trades also known as Joat for short. Carrier: Override former leader of Velocitron. Sire: Unknown. Occupation: Ex-employee of Shockwave. Splits-sparks: Blurr-" The white and black was saying as he read outloud from a data-pad.

"DON'T SPEAK HIS FRAGGING NAME!" Joat exclaimed suddenly as he began to heavily vent out the green mist as his cylinders changed to red with his eyes forming an X glaring at the officer who seems to be taking notes before pressing a button which shocked Joat as he suddenly felt nothing but pain as his circuits were electrified, when he stopped venting out venting out the green mist the pain stopped.

"The cell you are standing in has been specially made for frames with your capabilities and has been fitted with a shocker." He said as Joat was taking in sharp intakes.

"...I'm… surprised…" Joat said through his heavy breathing before he looked to the officer who seems to be in charge. "What do you want? Besides to shock me." He asked with huff still glaring at the officer.

"We want to ask you questions starting with where did you get these different gases?" He asked as he stared at the data-pad.

"Where do you think? I'm sure detective sherlock can figure it out." Joat said with his voice dripping with sarcasm which earned him another shock.

"Try that one again." The officer said,

"Alright… I got it from your carrier, how's that?" Joat taunted as he earned another shock. "This is getting fun." Joat said as he started to absorb the electricity and store inside a spare cylinder which surprised the two. "I'm sorry, has the Symbiote got your glossa?" He asked knowing full well.

"Answer the question already." The officer asked.

"Go frag yourself." Joat said glaring at the officer who seemed to be only ticked off so he left with the femme following suit leaving Joat alone in the cell as he sucked back the green mist he had vented out, after recharging in his new home he had been woken up when the femme from before came back in staring intently at him.

"Take a picture, it lasts longer." He said as he stared up at the femme.

"..." She said nothing.

"If you don't have anything to say then leave. I was in the middle of my recharge cycle." Joat said he looked back down at the floor as he tried to enter to recharge but he could feel them cerulean blue and pink optics staring at him. "What do you want?" He asked as he remained staring at the floor.

"Why?" He heard but it was an unclear why, like a why to what?.

"Why what?" He asked.

"Why won't you tell him?" She questioned.

"Oh, that why. Let's see… I don't like sharing about my personal data, I'm basically a walking bomb, I'm also capable of causing so much destruction I would rather stay under lock, more lock, even more locks and finally keys, I would rather been thrown into a cell I can't break out of, a cell where I can't cause harm or be used for harm… If I said a single bit about how my frame works or even how I can cause such damage there will be those who want to test me and those who want to USE ME!" He angrily shouted a quick and small explosion went off inside the cell but it hardly did any damage; it had only covered the inside in explosive residue. Unable to see inside she was a little shocked when she saw Joat's servo clean some of the residue away as his optics stared into hers. "Shockwave." He said as his camara like optics focused into a small dot that was focused on her. "Shockwave has the answers but he won't share, not the secrets my body holds. The secrets my body contains are too valuable to him." Joat said as he went to the furthest wall in the cell, leaned up against it and went into recharge and not wanting to disturb him after he did give them a hint to where they can find data about his body and the secrets it contains she left to report to her commanding officer.

More hours later.

Joat aroused from his recharge to see the femme standing there again and this she has a cube of energon with her.

"So you're going to be my caretaker from now on?" Joat asked as he stretched his stiff joints you could almost hear them creak since he had nothing else to do but recharge.

"Seems like it, even though I prefer to be out there on the streets of Iacon." She said as she has a frown form on her face.

"So what? I'm not good enough for a good looking femme? It must come from my sire's side." Joat said as he shrugged his shoulders as a small window appeared in the cell where she put the energon cube through before the window closed up for safety while Joat picked it up and realised something. "Would you mind looking away?" Joat asked as all of a sudden he seemed embarrassed by something not seeing any harm in it she turned around and heard him open the energon cube as it made a slight hissing sound and then she heard more hissing sound as if something that has been sealed, wanting to know what was going on she took a peek by slightly turning her helm a bit allowing one of her optics to see and what she saw scared her.

Without Joats mask on it allowed her to see the knife tip glossa that snakes out almost to a foot and the razor sharp dagger like denta if a sparkling were to see him like this they would scream monster, she saw his glossa wrap around the cube like its a prey before it retracted into his mouth where his sharp dagger denta snapped shut when it was his mouth, somehow his jaw had dislocated to allow the cube entry before being reattached as he started to not only eat the cube of energon but drink it since it was liquid but to Joat he didn't care since his internal systems allowed him to eat almost about anything that included metal and glass. With a gulp what was supposed to be a cube of energon was nothing more than shattered glass was being swallowed and from the way Joat was focusing the cylinder on his back had been swapped out with another one where the shattered glass he ate went into and almost like a blender the glass shards got smaller and smaller before nothing could been seen except from a small glimmer from the small shards of glass that flew around. Seeming satisfied he put his mask back on as you can hear it seal back up, quickly turning back around to not let Joat know she was watching.

"You can turn around." Joat said as he didn't notice that the femme had seen what hides underneath that mask. "You said streets of Iacon?" Joat asked with the femme nodding. "So I'm on Cybertron and in the great city known as Iacon." Joat said as he hummed in thought before looking towards the femme.

"I never truly did catch your designation. May ask as to what it is?" Joat asked with the femme looking a bit surprised.

"I-it's Arcee." Arcee said as Joat nodded at that.

"It suits ya. You know my name Jack Of All Trades but call Joat for short." Joat returned with a friendly smile appearing on the mask which had creeped Arcee out a bit knowing full well that underneath the mask is something terrifying.

"Alright Joat but don't go thinking we're friends or anything." Arcee warned.

"Fair enough…" Joat said before whispering. "Who would want to be friends with a monster?" And Arcee was barely able to catch it, making her feel bad for the mech but he is a criminal and she is an officer of the law. "Do you know how my carrier's doing?" Joat asked, looking a bit worried.

"I'm not entirely sure, sorry." Arcee said as Joat looked down. "I could find out for you." Arcee said after a moment of thought with Joat looking up at her.

"If you could I would be grateful." He said as he went to sit down again and go into recharge to await for news.

An hour later.

Arcee had come back holding a data-pad which she was scrolling through as she entered the room seeing that Joat is awake with his optics unfocused.

"I managed to find some things out for you." Arcee spoke with Joat looking towards her as the same window appeared in the cell where Arcee is passing the Data-pad through which Joat took with the window disappearing, he was scrolling through it and seemed to be quite satisfied with what he was seeing.

"I'm glad she managed to find work with Ratchet, I heard he is quite the exceptionational doctor." Joat said as he handed the data-pad back. "How long till I see the council?" He asked.

"Not long they are just finishing up." Arcee said as she saw Joat's frame visibly sag. "Do you regret anything?" Arcee asked.

"The only thing I regret is spending not enough time with my split-spark." Joat spoke with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Would you mind telling me what he was like?" Arcee asked, with Joat looking towards her with glaring optics but he eased up… Just a tad.

"He was your typical racer, he wanted nothing more than to be number one in a race, he definitely got that from carrier, he loved racing it was his passion other than that the only other things he loved were me and carrier even though I'm a monster he saw me for who I actually was he is one of those who has a open spark and a open servo to those who need help." Joat explained as his servos constantly balled into fist and back.

"But alas he wasn't destined to move towards the future… Unlike me…" Joat said in sadness right before the sound of the door opening the officer from before walked in with stasis-cuffs.

"It's time Joat, you know the drill." The officer said as Joat stood up turned to the back of the cell with his servos held out behind him, the officer walked in and placed the cuffs on him before guiding Joat out as Arcee walked behind them. Walking out into the department as he guide through he can see many types of mechs and femmes hard at work before he saw outside as his optics readjusted to brightness since he had been locked up inside a cell for some time, what he saw next was a armoured transport vehicle with back doors open being guide towards it he took the initiative and got in on his own accord with Arcee getting in the back as well as the stasis- cuffs he had on were taken off for a brief moment before being put on with his servos out in front of him this time as the cuffs connected to the floor of vehicle with the doors being shut and locked from the outside, before long the vehicle was moving.

"Do you know what's going to happen next?" Joat asked as he stared at his servos.

"I can only think of two things happening, you get sent to a prison or to an asylum since you didn't kill them people on purpose but because of split-spark shared pain, so they may want to monitor you for any other signs or symptoms with split-spark termination." Arcee said as they made their way towards a domed building that has a singular tower that reaches towards the sky and not only that but it was heavily guarded from many different variations of soldiers, going into an underground area where the rear of the vehicle was facing towards a loading bay. The was opened by the officer from before and with the stasis-cuffs put back on the way they were before he was now being escorted by mechs that are 25ft tall at least as they held guns, shields and spears, with a pair of big double doors being opened by two of these mechs Joat was greeted with the sight of the council sitting high above while to the left sat varying mechs and femmes with the same going on his right, being escorted to center of some circular pattern on the floor which was at the center of the room but albeit a tad bit closer to the council.

"Jack of all trades, you are summoned here on accounts of destruction of council property and murder. How do you plead?" A member of the council asked as Joat looked towards them, one of them was small like a Minicon but was floating inside some kind of sphere and another was what looked to be some kind of archievest as he had a long white beard and had the aura of a wise man.

"Guilty." Joat stated for everyone to hear. "What I did was wrong and I know yet I held no control over my actions as I felt the sudden pain of my split-spark who had risked his life to stop the rust plague from leaving Velocitron which was successful as I have yet to witness this city to succumb to its effects. The void that is now in my spark is nothing but a reminder of what he did and what I did, which is why I would like to ask the council this." Joat said as he looked to all the mechs and femmes that sat in their seats along the wall before turning to the council as his optics became stern. "I wish for you to throw me in a cell like the monster that I am that needs to be caged, but the key to the cell has to separate from the other keys and in the hands of someone I trust. That is all I don't wish for any kind of special treatment or death, I'd rather be locked away and serve out my sentence whatever it may be and however long it is, I'm a monster that doesn't want to see the crack of a new solar-cycle but to forever remain in darkness of the cell." Joat said which is certainly surprising to say the least as the council and spectators whispered amongst themselves.

"And who will be getting this key?" One of the council members asked but Joat couldn't pin the voice to any of them as it was very hard to see who was moving their mouthplates.

"Him." Joat said as he pointed a single digit towards the arceviest who is certainly surprised to say the least as he doesn't even know anything but the mechs name which brought up the question he is going to ask.

"And how do you know you can trust me?" He asked as he stared intently at Joat.

"I have a feeling in my tanks that I just can't ignore that you should be the bearer to the key that opens my cell and besides my gut is never wrong, even though your an old geezer who has one ped in the grave I know that processor of yours has already came up with back up plans and who to pass the key on to, that is all I have to say the choice is yours to make." Joat said as the council began to whisper amongst themselves except the arceviest who only continued to stare at Joat as he was thinking before long they finished.

"We-" One of them was saying before the arceviest interrupted.

"Accept your wishes and shall grant them." Which got some shocked and angered looks from the other council members and only one had a questioning look which just so happened to be the Minicon. "You'll be transported to Trypticon Prison where your cell shall be made."

"Thank you for allowing this monster to be locked away from the future generations of cybertron." Joat spoke but it was in a whisper before he was being escorted again back to the vehicle he was brought in with him getting in the back of it and this time the drive to Trypticon prison was a long one so Joat went into recharge before being woken up by the officer and when Joat got out what he saw was a prison all right one entrance to three towers which is floating on top of a energon lake, being shoved lightly from behind Joat started to walk forward as he was escorted to the main entrance which looked to be a pair of blast doors and when Joat saw the inside he was impressed with the security, camaras watching every possible angle, automated turrets with targeting sensors, guards patrolling the catwalks armed with rifles and some even had sniper rifles and the cell doors are made out of some kind of hard light energy barrier which allows the inmates and guards to see clearly in and out of the cells while also being hard enough to withstand a beating as the inmates started to bang on their doors chanting. "FRESH MEAT!"

"Looks like you're going to have a target on your back." The officer said from behind Joat as he was being led further into the prison with security being the same, looking up Joat saw that no matter how high up he looked the walls were lined with cells and catwalks.

"Impressive." Joat whispered before he was guided into a cell on the ground floor which was vacant with the stasis-cuffs coming off and the 'door' was shut when the officer left, wringing the kinks out of his wrists Joat looked around his cell, he didn't expect much other than a berth. Seeing how he had nothing else to do he had started to vent out a green mist which was the same from before it didn't take long for his cell to be heavily stuffed with the smoke but it wasn't as thick so the guards could see into the cell and he can see out, laying down on the berth hew ent into recharge.

Unknown amount of time.

Joat awoke to banging on his cell door looking to see who it was with it only being two guards, he sucked the green mist back in and with it all gone the door opened with one of the guards walking in and looked around the cell as they were doing an inspection.

"What's with the gas?" One of them asked.

"Defensive mechanism." Joat said.

"How so?"

"Simple if the target comes into contact with that green gas I vented out their systems will slowly corrode till they become paralysed but when it's in high quantities focused on a single point… well think of it as an energon bolt." He explained and the guards left with the cell door being closed again with nothing else to do he was going to vent out the same gas and head back to recharging but a bell of some kind rang with the cell doors opening with the guards and automated turrets becoming full alerted.

"Feeding time!" One of the guards shouted as Joat looked out from his cell he saw at one end of the building a blast door open with inmates steadily going through it, seeing as he need the energon he followed and was cautious where he walked and who was nearby and soon enough he found himself in a cafetera of some sort as behind protective glass bots are handing out cubes of low grade energon to the inmates, queing up himself Joat waited till he could grab a cube and when he did he scanned the cafetera for a lone seat he could take, he spotted it being far away with his back to everybot in the cafetera. Sitting down he looked at the cube for a moment as he was deciding whether he should see if he could ask a guard if he could get energon delivered to his cell but when he was punched from the side into his helm which sent him away from his seat.

"Why thank you for the energon." He heard, while looking away he moved a servo to his mask as he got ready to remove.

"You know, I don't think energon should be wasted on someone like you." Joat said after he heard the mech finished drinking his energon.

"Why's that punk?" The mech asked and the mech was almost as tall as Joat but he messed with the wrong mech for energon as every bot slowly started to watch even some of the guards.

"Because you're nothing but dead weight." Joat exclaimed and when he turned around he lunged forward with his sharp denta bearing as he ripped out the mechs throat with that Joat swallowed it down before unhinging his jaw and bite off the mechs helm and after that he grabbed a hold of the mechs frame with one servo and with his other he transformed the digits into something sharp before they found themselves piercing the mechs chassis, next he ripped his servo back out but it was gripping something and that something was the mechs energon tanks which still has energon stored inside, cutting off the top Joat drank the energon that was stored inside before letting the frame go and chucking the energon tanks away before he started to walk out. "I'm heading back to my cell, shut the door once I enter." He called out while he put his mask back on to the guards that watched from the catwalks above while two guards went in and started to drag the frame out while a cleaning bot was getting rid of the spilled energon. Once he was back in the cell he vented out the same gas before heading into recharge while outside from his cell certain few mechs were watching him with interest.

"Reminds you of those bugs." A voice said.

"You mean when he lunged for that guy's throat and chomped off his head? Yeah it does."

"What should we do?" A different voice asked as from their left a familiar officer appeared.

"Don't let any other inmates near him and when his special cell is finished being built then throw him in there for safekeeping." The officer ordered.

"Sir, yes, Sir!" They said as they left while to the officers right Arcee walked towards him.

"Who could've guessed he would act like that?" She questioned as she stared at Joat through the cell door and gas.

"No one but then again we couldn't get any information from Shockwave almost anything about that mech is a mystery we only know few details about him."

"Well he won't be doing anyone harm when he is in his new cell, ain't that right Prowl?" Arcee asked as Prowl gripped the railing bars tight for a moment before relenting.

"You… do have a point Arcee. Come let's head back to the station." He said with the two leaving while from Joat's cell he heard them and he knew what one of the guards meant when he said bugs.

That will be it folks whew, I quite like what I did for the character portraying him as a monster to certain few and such and not only that everyone gets to know what's under the mask and a little lore about Joat I do feel kinda bad for the guy but trust me It'll make sense in future chapters.
