Disclaimer:Transformers belongs to Hasbro, Takara, etc . The only thing in this that belongs to me is Arcee's sister.
By the time Arcee, Jack, Miko and Bumblebee managed to find their way out of the subway system, night had rolled over the Big Apple and the city was coming to life. Trying not to be seen, the five of them drove to the rendezvous point. When they arrived, the Ground Bridge appeared and they raced through it. Jack was riding on Arcee while Miko was being driven around by Bumblebee. That meant that poor Bumblebee had to endure Miko's heavy metal torture. When the music came on, Bumblebee couldn't help but think to himself.
'Where's Bulkhead when you need him?'
"We got the Phase shifter, and messed up Knockout's face! Oh, yeah" Miko sang as she imitates playing an electric guitar.
"Hey!" Miko cried in protest when Bumblebee cut off the music, earning beeps in response, "Let me guess. You and Raf spend all of your driving time listening to chip tunes?"
Bumblebee beeped a response.
"Well, it's been fun," Miko told the scout, "But I'm ready to get back to my regularly scheduled partner, Bulk-AHH!"
Arcee and Bumblebee suddenly skidded to a stop as they drove back into the base. The eyes of Miko and Jack widened in horror at the sight before them. Miko couldn't abandon her respective ride fast enough.
They saw Ratchet working on a patient on the ground with shock paddles. The patient, they realized, was Bulkhead. And to make the horror of the situation even worse, they noticed that Bulkhead wasn't responding to the Energon shocks.
"Bulkhead, respond!" Ratchet pleaded as he used the Energon shocks on the Wrecker.
"Bulkhead?" Miko whimpered with disbelief.
Ratchet uses the Energon shocks on Bulkhead again.
"BULKHEAD!" Miko cried as she raced forward, only to have Fowler hold her back, "What happened?"
"ToxEn exposure…among other things," Ratchet muttered the last part as he began scanning Bulkhead, "Bulkhead has suffered a complete systems failure."
"Hold on. ToxEn?!" Arcee repeated one disbelief.
Ratchet then checked Bulkhead's reading on the scanner on his arm and saw that his vitals were slowly depleting, "Help me get him into the medical bay, now!" Ratchet snapped.
Fowler continued to hold Miko back as he and Jack saw Arcee and Bumblebee race forward. Even when they divided Bulkhead's dead weight between them, they still couldn't find the strength to fully lift him up. His pedes were scraping across the floor and they could hear his joints groaning against the treatment.
"No!" Miko cried as she lunges out of Fowler's grasp, "If I hadn't gone to New York…" she trailed off.
"There's nothing you could've done! Hardshell sucker punched the big lug while he was down!" Fowler told her.
"Who?" Miko asked as she turned toward him.
"Some Insecticon. It doesn't matter. The point is, it's not your fault!" Fowler explained, "You got that?"
"Got it," Miko muttered as she walked away.
They walked to the edge of the med bay, where they saw Ratchet, Arcee and Bumblebee desperately working to keep Bulkhead alive. Jack wrapped his arms around Miko's shoulder. But for Miko, it didn't change anything.
Bulkhead was still fighting for his life and she wasn't able to do anything about it…yet.
How is this POSSIBLE?!" Megatron yelled with disbelief to Hardshell, Knockout, Dreadwing and Soundwave, "Four relics each within our grasp! And yet only Soundwave has returned with something other than an excuse! Tell me, Hardshell. What is yours?"
"I have none, my lord," Hardshell confessed as he bowed to his master, "We failed to retrieve the ToxEn. But the green Autobot has been terminated."
"Then perhaps this day is not lost after all," Megatron mused.
"If that is true!" Knockout cut in, "It has been a while since anyone extinguished an Autobot spark!"
"Because it has been a while since an Insecticon warrior has had to opportunity to do so!" Hardshell retorted.
"Really?" Knockout drawled disbelievingly, "Because the bug under my recent command was utterly useless!"
"ENOUGH!" Megatron snapped, ending the growing tension and the potential argument between Hardshell and Knockout, "Hardshell, are you certain that the Autobot known as Bulkhead has been exterminated?"
"By my very own hand, Lord Megatron," Hardshell boasted proudly.
If only they knew how wrong Hardshell was…
For Miko, the sight before them was sickening to say the least. Seeing Bulkhead hooked up to many machines and monitors that would help him do the simplests of tasks. Ratchet hooking him up to even more monitors, thinking that the ones he was already hooked up to weren't enough. Bumblebee watching on in worry ready to help if needed. Arcee and Chromette were monitoring Bulkhead's declining vitals, while Optimus was watching over the entire situation.
Looking up, she saw Fowler standing in the area where they hang out whenever she and the other children were here on his cell phone. Immediately, she knew that something was wrong. And it wasn't just the situation Bulkhead was in.
"Yes, sir," Fowler sighed before hanging his phone and turning to face Optimus, "Turns out highlights of your Big Apple adventure got caught on security tape. The Pentagon needs me to run interference with the mayor. I tried to stall. But…"
"Go where you are needed, Agent Fowler. There is nothing more you can do for Bulkhead at this time," Optimus rumbled.
"Keep me posted, Prime. I mean it, Fowler said as he entered the elevator.
"Wheeljack's on his way," Arcee announced.
That caused Miko to perk up from where she was sitting. Immediately, she stood up and raced to the balcony.
"I can't believe you're giving up on Bulkhead already!" Miko snapped.
"All she meant is that Bulkhead and Wheeljack are close. She thought he'd want to be here," Chromette said, clarifying what her sister meant.
"I know what your sister meant, Chromette," Miko muttered before storming off.
"Miko, where are you going?" Optimus asked worriedly.
"Home while Fowler can still give me a lift," Miko answered as she left.
Arcee went to go after Miko, but Optimus stopped her as he placed his servo on her shoulder.
"She needs time," was all Optimus said.
After long, tireless hours, Ratchet sighed before turning to face the others,
"Bulkhead is stable for the moment. But I've had to induce stasis."
No sooner then had Ratchet said the words, they heard the sounds of an approaching engine. A sporty engine. Turning towards the entrance of the base, they saw Wheeljack approaching at rapid speeds in his vehicle form. He hadn't even finished pulling up before he transformed at rapid pace. He transformed so fast that he flew in the air and had to land on his pedes.
"What's the damage, Doc?" Wheeljack asked bluntly.
"Bulkhead suffered massive trauma to his central neural conduit," Ratchet answered.
"I've watched you work. You're a maestro," Wheeljack complimented the medic, hoping that there was something that Ratchet could do to fix Bulkhead.
"The ToxEn exposure has caused system-wide shutdown on a sub-micronic level. I can't even begin to operate until Bulkhead regains some strength," Ratchet announced gravely.
"You gonna tell me who did this to him?" Wheeljack immediately asked optimus, his face plate remaining stoic.
"At the moment, I believe it is best to focus our attention on Bulkhead's recovery rather than revenge," Optimus responded in a somewhat neutral, but robotic tone in his voice.
"You do that," Wheeljack growled as he transformed and drove away.
"Wheeljack will most likely do something rash, you know," Ratchet warned Optimus.
"And I am not sure we could stop him if we wanted to," Optimus confessed.
Optimus and Ratchet were correct. Ratchet was correct because Wheeljack did do something rash. He boarded the Jackhammer and took to the skies, hoping to begin his search for the one who did this to Bulkhead and extract his revenge. Optimus was correct because even if they wanted to stop him, they couldn't. Wheeljack is too stubborn. When he's focused on a mission, he doesn't stop until he sees it through.
After putting his ship on autopilot, he heard a series of quiet bangs. Wrecker instinct grappled him as he whirled around and Transformed his servo into his blaster with the blaster at the ready. To his surprise, he saw Miko standing there casually. How she snuck aboard, he didn't know. And right now, he didn't care.
"What are you doing here?" Wheeljack asked.
"Going after the 'Con who hurt Bulkhead," Miko answered as she stepped forward, "You in?"
"I'm taking you back," Wheeljack decided as he went to turn around and transformed his blaster back into his servo.
"No! Wait!" Miko pleaded.
"Kid, I get it. You want payback. You and me both," Wheeljack said as Miko climbed up onto the passenger seat.
"Bulkhead's my partner too!" Miko reminded him.
"Trust me. When I find out which one of Megatron's goons jumped our boy, I'll take care of him my way," Wheeljack vowed as he gestured to the grenade attached to his hip.
"I know who did it," Miko announced.
"Who?" Wheeljack immediately demanded, as his intentions on taking Miko back to the Autobot base, which was long forgotten.
"Take us with you and we'll tell you," Miko promised.
That was more than enough to convince Wheeljack to allow them to come along. They had something on him. Just before, he didn't even know where to start. Then Miko comes aboard and announces that she knows who did it.
It couldn't be better.
"You should have seen the Wrecker's face as his Spark expired, knowing that he perished at the hand of a true warrior," Hardshell boated to a few of of his fellow Insecticons as they roamed the halls of the Nemesis, "Lord Megatron now understands that the difficult tasks are best assigned to an Insecticon.
"Pit-bound scavenger," a Vehicon muttered to another Vehicon as he was tired of hardshell boasting, as if he and the Insecticons were better than the rest of the Decepticon army.
"Scrap eaters," the other Vehicon said, agreeing with the Vehicon next to him.
"What did you say?!" Hardshell demanded in anger.
Meanwhile inside the medical bay, Knockout was using his Buffer to remove the scratches and scrapes he received during his encounter with Arcee, Jack, Miko and Bumblebee in the New York subways. However, there were some parts of the task that was difficult for him.
"Detailing was so much easier, when Breakdown was around," Knockout grumbled to himself before he heard laser fire from outside the medical bay "What is going on out there?! How am I supposed to Concentrate-AAH!"
Knockout opened the door to his med bay only to shriek and shut it as Hardshell threw a Vehicon in his direction. When he opened it again, the Vehicon was opening fire on Hardshell, causing the Insecticon to charge at him. Quickly, the Vehicon moved out of the way...and Knockout was knocked down by Hardshell.
"I just buffed that!" Knockout gasped in anger.
"You know where to find Decepticon mines?" Miko said in disbelief as she and Wheeljack hid behind trees near a Decepticon mine.
"You didn't think I would take up Chromette's offer to scout out Decepticon mine for Team Prime, since I've been on this rock?" Wheeljack retorted.
"But shouldn't we be at an Insecticon hive?" Miko asked as she was confused as to why they were at an Energon mine instead of an Insecticon hive.
"The bugs are bound by a single mind. Trying to draw just one of them out is nearly impossible, so we're gonna make some noise," Wheeljack explained.
"And get the 'Cons to hand over Hardshell," Miko added.
"Now you can sneak in there and scope things out a lot easier than I can," Wheeljack said, referring to that Miko was 5'2 and that he was 23 feet tall.
Miko was inside the mine and had her phone out using it to record and transmit footage back to wheeljack, "We got five, maybe six troopers in the main cavern," she observed before looking up with the phone, "and two more keeping an eye on things from the second floor."
"Good job, Kid. Keep going," Wheeljack told Miko from the Jackhammer on the comlink.
"There's another chamber," Miko gasped as she hid behind a rock near the chamber and zoomed in and saw multiple Energon cubes stacked on top of one onother, "Looks like they're just using it for storage." As she went to get another look at the chamber she heard static from the comlink, "Wheeljack, you there?"
Just then she heard an explosion before she noticed a Vehicon being thrown towards her and avoided being crushed as it landed where she was standing. She then looked up and saw Wheeljack kick a vehicon that was shooting at him before stabbing the Vehicon with his katanas. He turned around and threw one of the katanas at the Spark chamber of one of the Vehicons shooting at him from above, causing the Vehicon to fall to the floor next to him and an Energon crystal as he died.
A Vehicon ran towards Wheeljack, firing at him as the Vehicon ran past Miko, Wheeljack knocked him backwards, behind Miko, causing Miko to run for cover and Wheeljack killed a Vehicon that was walking by Miko and did the same to another vehicon that was coming from behind the Wrecker, Miko then ran towards the Energon cubes from the Chamber storing Energon cubes. A Vehicon was thrown over the Energon cubes to a wall causing some of the Energon cubes to fall down, causing Miko to scream and suddenly Wheeljack instantly stabbed the Vehicon with one of his katanas before sheathing his katanas back into their storage behind his shoulders.
"Now what?" Miko asked the Wrecker.
"We give Megatron a shout," Wheeljack answered as his battle mask deactivated.
"Just look what they've done," Knockout whined to Megatron as he gestured to his scratched up frame.
"Spare me the dramatics, Knockout," Megatron sighed in frustration, "It's merely a scratch."
"This isn't about me, Lord Megatron. The Insecticons are creating dissension among the ranks. These savages are a threat to this warship and its crew. They should be confined, restrained, even!" Knockout snapped.
"You could not produce restraints strong enough to hold us!" Hardshell retorted.
"Lord Megatron, we're receiving an emergency transmission from mine TVC15," a Vehicon announced from one of the communication computers.
"What seems to be the problem?" Megatron asked.
"Unclear, my liege. The caller will speak only to you," the Vehicon answered.
"What is it?" Megatron asked as he answered the incoming transmission.
"Nice operation you got here, Megatron, although, technically, you might say it's under new management," The voice of Wheeljack came through the speakers and a diagram as well as the Face of the wrecker appeared on the screen in front of Megatron.
"Wheeljack?! The one who enjoys explosive devices," Megatron inquired, causing most of the ship to cringe at how…nice he sounded.
"What can I say, chief? I'm uncouth. And right now, I'm sitting on one of your big, juicy, mining ops," Wheeljack retorted.
"The loss of one asset is hardly a blow to the Decepticon cause," Megatron told the Wrecker.
"Maybe, but I'm gonna keep on hitting them, one by one, until you give me what I want," Wheeljack told him.
"And what, pray tell, would that be?" Megatron asked him.
"The Insecticon scrum who tried to frag Bulkhead," Wheeljack answered, causing Megatron's optics to widen in confusion.
"Tried?!" Megatron said with confusion, "Are you saying the Autobot lives?"
"He is bluffing!" Hardshell protested as Megatron turned towards him.
"Wouldn't bet on it. So, here's the deal. I'm gonna transmit the coordinates of my next target. If Hardshell cares to meet me there, maybe he can save you from another loss, and Megatron, just in case you ever wondered what 3 tons of explosive Energon sounds like…" Wheeljack said before deploying two missiles from the Jackhammer as he clicked a red button on the controls and the missiles flew into the mine, causing an explosion as Wheeljack flew the Jackhammer from the explosion.
"You allowed the Autobot to live?!" Megatron said in anger and disbelief at Hardshell.
"Hmph! Bugs. Not all they're cracked up to be," Knockout scoffed with a smirk.
"Lord Megatron, I swear upon the Allspark, the Autobot could not have survived his wounds!" Hardshell defend as Megatron approaching menacingly.
"Then you owe me a spark! And if it's not the one belonging to Bulkhead, it had better be Wheeljack's!" Megatron snarled as he pointed one of his digits at Hardshell.
As they flew towards the coordinates of the next Decepticon mine they would blow if Hardshell didn't show up, Wheeljack decided to check on his passengers. Miko was leaning against the passenger seat struggling to stay awake. He noticed by the way she was yawning and nodding off on occasion.
"Maybe you ought to power down for a while," Wheeljack suggested.
"I'm good," Miko said and shook her head, "He's gonna make it, right?"
"No question, Kid. Bulkhead's the toughest wrecking ball I've ever known, and Ratchet's a great doc, the best," Wheeljack said reassuring Miko that Bulkhead will survive.
"Yeah," Miko said as she agreed with him, "There's no way Bulk would miss all the stuff we have planned, car sledding, worldwide smash-a-thon. We've been making a list."
"Like I said, Bulkhead's too stubborn not to pull through. I know it, and I bet you do, too," He said but as he turned back to look at her, he saw that she was sleeping with her arms on top of her knees, snoring. Wheeljack let out a small sigh of relief. At least they were asleep.
In silence, Wheeljack flew the Jackhammer towards the next Decepticon mine, more than eager to keep either word he had made within the last 24 hours. Promises to himself that he would avenge Bulkhead by destroying Hardshell. Promises to Megatron that he would blow up the mine if Hardshell didn't show. Promises to himself that he would keep Miko safe whatever it takes. The first and third promise because he truly loved Bulkhead and Miko. Bulkhead, because they were like brothers-in-arms. Miko, because she seemed to be someone that could be Bulkhead's sparkmate, if she became Cybertronian. And the second promise…well, if there's one thing he enjoys, it's blowing stuff up.
"I'm up!" Miko gasped as she woke up to the sensation of Wheeljack landing the Jackhammer, "What's the plan?"
"Kid, if anything happens to me, press this. I've preset the autopilot to get you back to Prime's base," Wheeljack announced as he pointed to the blue button.
"What? No way! We had a deal," Miko protested, "You said I could help!"
"And you did. But it ends here," Wheeljack told her as he stood up.
"This is my fight, too," Miko said.
"Sorry, Kid, but Bulkhead's gonna wake up. And he'll file off my rivets if you're not there when he does," Wheeljack retorted before walking out and shutting the door.
"Wheeljack!" Miko called as she raced to the door.
"You in there, bug?!" Wheeljack yelled into the mine.
Wheeljack barely managed to back away from the entrance to the mine in time. Hardshell jumped from the top of the mine, intending to crush Wheeljack in his vehicle form. The former Wrecker quickly raced forward, transformed into his robot form and kicked Hardshell in the chest with both pedes. The force of the kick sent Hardshell flying into the mine.
Planning to use his signature, Wheeljack reached for his grenade and threw it. However, he didn't get the chance to activate it before he was knocked back.
"Thanks to your crippled friend, I am all too familiar with your Wrecker tricks," Hardshell proclaimed as he went to hit Wheeljack, only to have him backflip away.
Wheeljack wasn't going to stop. Not until Hardshell was on his knees begging for mercy. He unsheathed his swords and continued his attack. Something that pleased Wheeljack was that…
He was actually winning.
"What's the matter, Hardshell? Not used to fighting a 'Bot who hasn't been doused with ToxEn?" Wheeljack taunted, his anger fueling each attack he made against Hardshell.
"Talk during battle is a sign of weakness," Hardshell growled as he grabbed Wheeljack's katanas.
"Only when you're too primitive to do two things at once," Wheeljack retorted.
As Wheeljack blocked one of Hardshell's big arm attacks, he didn't factor in his regular servos. He cried out in pain as he was knocked back hard enough to be sent flying. Hardshell transformed into his beatle alternate mode and continued his assault. Knocking Wheeljack around again and again.
"Go for the grenade!" Miko called from the Jackhammer.
Wheeljack heard her voice and decided to take Miko's advice. He began crawling for the grenade. Hardshell was quick to catch on. He knew what would happen if he allowed Wheeljack to get his hands on the grenade. Because that was what he was known for. One grenade, one shot.
So he walked towards the grenade and stood on it, effectively destroying it. Looking up at the menacing look Hardshell was wearing, Wheeljack knew that he was somewhat screwed.
But would Wheeljack back down? Not even when the Insecticon began throwing him around like a rag doll. He began tasting his own Energon in his mouth. His frame was aching from the multiple hits he was receiving. He was almost done. He knew it. Hardshell knew it. And he was sure that Miko knew this as well, but she just didn't want to admit it.
"WHEELJACK!" Miko screamed in horror.
Holding Wheeljack up by his helm, Hardshell began punching and stabbing the defenseless former Wrecker. When he got bored with that, he simply tossed him aside. When Wheeljack found the strength to come back, he punched him hard.
Miko watched in horror as she watched Wheeljack – who was normally tough as nails, refusing to back down from a fight and was always making wisecracks – struggled to hold his body up. Let alone, stand up and fight. Wheeljack found the strength to roll himself onto his back. When he did, he saw Hardshell approaching him ready to deliver the final and fatal blow.
"No…" Miko whimpered.
"Go, Kid," Wheeljack said weakly, "Get out of here."
A tear dropped from her eye and rubbed the eye as she turned away from the window and climbed the chair, she was seemingly about to press the Autopilot.
"Your Spark will not belong to Megatron," Hardshell vowed as he raised his hand to strike.
Then, he heard a strange sound. The sound of engines taking off. Looking up, he saw the Jackhammer hovering above the ground as though it was taking off. Wheeljack thought that Miko was doing what she was told, going away to safety. However, when he saw the missiles fired, he knew otherwise. Hardshell wasn't able to move out of the way in time. So the missiles struck him. His final cry of anguish echoed around the canyon in the cliffs. Wheeljack saw and felt the parts of Hardshell's frame fall to the ground around and on him.
Miko took in a shaky breath as she removed her hand from the red missile button and sighed in relief when she saw Wheeljack dust himself off. When he turned around, he saw the Jackhammer returning to its former position on the ground.
"Nice work, Kid," Wheeljack complimented.
Hearing the sound of thudding above him, Wheeljack looked up to the tops of the cliffs. Immediately, he saw trouble. Trouble in the form of an Insecticon army.
"Wheeljack, run!" Miko screamed.
Wheeljack didn't need to be told twice, but he couldn't run like Miko said as he was limping due to his battle with Hardshell and the small Insecticon army began to swarm in all around them. Wheeljack barely managed to limp into the ship and sit in the pilot's seat after Miko moved out of his way and returned to her passenger seat.
"I thought I told you to hit autopilot," Wheeljack grumbled as he ignited the engines.
"Bad thing happens to 'Bots, when I leave their side," was all Miko said.
Wheeljack couldn't even formulate a response to Miko's defense. In fact, he didn't have the time. So he just flew away from the Decepticon mine, leaving behind Hardshell's frame scattered in many pieces. The Insecticon army followed them. Once they were high above the ground, they began opening fire on the Jackhammer. Wheeljack couldn't help but let out a small growl of frustration. He didn't fix the Jackhammer after his encounter with Laserbeak just to have it shot down again.
"Too many to pick off," Wheeljack observed as he glanced into his rearview camera, "I'll need something with a wider blast radius."
Wheeljack pushed the blue button and allowed the Jackhammer to go on autopilot as an idea struck him. The ship's missiles wouldn't be enough. He needed more firepower. And he knows just the thing that will do the trick. Miko watched as Wheeljack walked towards his weapon's closet and reached down to retrieve a case filled with his signature grenades.
"But I thought you-" Miko started.
"I only carry one at a time," Wheeljack clarified.
He climbed up onto the roof, narrowly avoiding the blaster fire coming from the Insecticon swarm behind them. Hitting the button, he opened the case and grabbed one grenade. Then he began to have second thoughts. One grenade at a time still wouldn't be enough. He needed to throw the entire case at them.
And that was exactly what he did and then he transformed his servo into a blaster. Along with the blaster fire from his blaster that he aimed at the airborne case. To Miko and Wheeljack's surprise, his little idea worked. The detonation of the grenades caused a chain reaction, which destroyed all the Insecticons that were following them. No more Insecticons to worry about for the time being. Wheeljack liked the sound of that.
Satisfied with his good work, he returned to the Jackhammer's pilot seat. Miko glanced up at the former Wrecker, admiration and worry in her eyes. Admiration over Wheeljack's courage. Worry over Bulkhead and what everyone would say when they returned.
"Welcome to the Wreckers, Kid. You did Bulkhead proud," Wheeljack said happily to Miko.
"Then why don't I feel any different?" Miko asked.
The worry was filling the air around them as they stood in the centre of the base. They were worried about Bulkhead and whether or not he would pull through. They were also worried about Miko considering how close she was to Bulkhead.
They heard the sounds of metal scraping against the metal ground beneath them. Turning around, they saw Wheeljack and Miko returning to the base. Wheeljack was clutching his damaged shoulder and limping due to his bad pede. Miko walked normally and casually. But they were slow and nervous.
It didn't take everyone long to figure out what the three of them had been doing. But they couldn't bring themselves to begin reprimanding the two of them. Now they had to worry about the emotional stability of Bulkhead and Miko.
"Miko, you okay?" Arcee asked the Japanese exchange student, kneeling towards her.
"She's fine! Kid's a pro," Wheeljack answered.
"I wasn't talking to you," Arcee snapped at him.
"How is he?" Miko asked, referring to Bulkhead.
Bumblebee made low beeping sounds.
Bulkhead will survive. He may never be fully functional again," Ratchet answered sadly and Miko ran towards the slab Bulkhead's frame was laying on, "Miko, I don't think it's wise for you-" Ratchet began protesting, only for Optimus to stop him.
"Ratchet, just let her, as she's been worried about him ever since she came back from New York with Bumblebee, Arcee, Jack along with the Phase shifter," Chromette told Ratchet and he realized that she did have a point and letting her see him.
"I'm not sure I want to see Bulk right now. Not like this," Wheeljack said.
"I think it's best that way, Wheeljack, Chromette said, "We'll tell you when he's recovered."
"I'd appreciate that," Wheeljack said before promptly transforming into his vehicle form and racing away.
"I'm never leaving you again," Miko vowed to the unconscious Bulkhead as she sat on his chassis, before crying as this was the moment when she realized that she had feelings for him.
Megatron stood there in contemplation as he glanced at Hardshell's broken frame. When the Insecticon boasted that he had killed an Autobot, he knew it was too good to be true. As much as he hated to admit this, Knockout was right. The Decepticons haven't been able to successfully terminate an Autobot. Not since Starscream successfully killed Cliffjumper before his return from his space voyage.
However there was one thing that he had a tough time believing.
"The Autobot did this?!" Megatron exclaimed with disbelief.
"No, my Lord," the Insecticon shook his helm in protest, "It was...a human girl."
As he heard this he widened his optics and was confused and was in disbelief that something that was smaller and weaker than a Cybertronian was able to extinguish a spark of a Cybertronian.
