2007 Transformers Dimension

Optimus had been uneasy for the last few weeks, Bumblebee noted as the leader paced at their weekly 'bots only meeting. The reason that had them concerned was that Barricade had suddenly dropped off their radar after being last seen near Agent Simmons' Mothers shop and home. The human had kicked up a titanic fuss about that one….

They had arrived to find nothing but an odd warp energy reading and Frenzy's head missing from the stand in the Agent's basement. After that Ironhide demanded to go search for the 'Decepticon punk' just in case he was lurking around near there. But the problem was they couldn't find anything, not spark energy readings or talon marks beyond the Butcher shop.

Simmons complained about that an artefact was missing; taken from a World War Two German aircraft hull after the oval artifact suddenly appeared through an odd rippling portal and jamming itself directly in the aircrafts belly as it was making a raid over London crashing the craft. The British version of Sector Seven had given it to them after thoroughly looking over it themselves, no matter what they had tried it hadn't re-activated and Simmons had taken it when Sector Seven had been shut down to use as a glorified paper weight that had taken down a plane.

In the end Optimus just gave up, though Ironhide kept going out for a search with Will Lenox, assuming the Decepticon shock Trooper would turn up one way or another. After all Barricade had surprised the slag out of all of them individually at least once before, a more memorable incident when they actually surprised him back involved Barricade, Ironhide and fluorescent pink, yellow and blue paintballs stuffed in an unsuspecting Ironhide's cannons courteous of the Twins, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, who forgot to tell Ironhide when he went out to battle. That was one of the only times they had actually gotten a one up on Barricade's surprise tactics as the shock trooper had just stared at them looking on the verge of a major processor crash as the wall beside him, that should have had a massive hole in it was painted multicoloured with fluorescent paint as Ironhide just missed his target, Barricade slipping away as Ironhide gaped at his beloved cannons in mortification.

Bumblebee subtly grinned in remembrance of that orn, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker had looked terrified as Ironhide and Ratchet had come after them; the latter just wanting to vent his anger, the former out for murder.

"Bumblebee do you have something to contribute?" rumbled Optimus as all optics in the meeting turned to the yellow mech.

"No, sorry" Bumblebee straightened as Optimus returned to his de-briefing; he slumped down and rested his helm on his arms. This was going to be a long day.

"How the Slag did you do that 'Jack?" Ratchet's snarl acting as his wakeup call.

"How the Slag did I do what?" he replied feeling a little dizzy as the medbay lights seared his optics forcing him to reboot them

"How do you just go out for a walk on your break and end up getting hit by a mini meteor?" Ratchet snapped dumping what he presumed was the meteor at the end of his berth "What are the chances of that?"

"Less than one Percent" came Prowl's voice from a berth opposite Bumblebee's who was still unconscious.

"You!" growled Ratchet turning to point at the Datsun "Shut up!"

"You asked" Prowl shrugged returning to his ever present data-pad as Wheeljack managed to sit up and have a look at the meteor

"Ohh! This isn't a meteor!" he cried taking the 'meteor' into his hands and pressing the Cybertronian Glyphs arranged around the middle of the contraption "It's one of my old experiments!"

"Why do I bother?" groaned Ratchet "And that was a rhetorical question Prowl, do not answer it if you don't want me to throw something at you."

But the Datsun was nowhere to be seen and Ratchet cursed giving Wheeljack's berth a kick as his only remaining conscious patient fiddled with the unknown contraption "Frag it! Damn him to the Pits!"

"Check up day I assume?" Wheeljack asked absentmindedly as he dusted off a few more scorched glyphs and pressed the proper ones. The oval artefact split in half spilling a small data screen into his lap as Ratchet glared at him.

"Yes, until you decided to have this thing smack you on the head. If it isn't your lab exploding it's things falling from the sky! Next time this happens Wheeljack I'm going to put you in a padded room and throw away the key!"

"That's nice Ratchet" Wheeljack said switching off as he tapped the small screen "Ohh! Look Ratch! It's been to different Dimensions and everything!"

"And another thing…" Ratchet paused as he was about to continued his rant "Wha?"

"It's a dimension hopper! One of my more successful experiments… or I assumed it worked as it went missing a few months ago" Wheeljack exclaimed proudly "I programmed it to go to different dimensions and bring back something like a spoon or an object of our culture"

"And this is relevant how?" Ratchet asked feeling slightly curious

"Well the only reason it came back is because it brought something Cybertronian back from whatever universe it landed in! I have to go scan the area for foreign Cybertronian tech and objects! It might even clue us in as to what attacked Bumblebee" Wheeljack exclaimed gleefully nearly bouncing on his berth before jumping up and making a beeline straight for his lab only to be grabbed by the scruff bar and slammed back onto the medical berth

"Not until after your check up you don't!" Ratchet snapped yanking the object away from Wheeljack and slamming it down on the table next to his berth with the finality of a judge with a gravel.
