"You're up. Now please state your name for the records."

"Hmph. Autobot Supply Unit Gears."

"Please describe your version of the events from May 6, 2005 to May 7, 2005."

"Battle of Autobot City."

"Your full version of events, please."

"You want the truth? Alright. I watched the launch of the ship known as the Azure from Moonbase 1, where I was stationed under Autobot Leader Optimus Prime. I then was the guy to tell Autobot City that it launched. A little after 12 PM, we lost contact with the were fired off throughout my posting, so Optimus summoned me and the Dinobots in case of danger."

"Did this danger actually come?"

"Yes. At 1:21 PM, Communications Officer Blaster radioed with the news that the shuttle had been taken and used by the Decepticons in order for a full scale assault. As we were boarding to back up our comrades on Earth, Melee Unit Sunstreaker drove up and demanded to be apart of the back-up crew. Though Optimus originally said, Sunny said that he could feel the pain of his half-brother Security Officer Red Alert burning through his system. This won the commander over."

"Who was left on the Moonbase?"

"Omnibots Camshaft, Downshift, and Overdrive, along with Special Operations Officer Jazz and Security Unit Cliffjumper."

"Did they survive the coming of Unicron?"

"No for the Omnibots, the rest did."

"I…see. Go on with your story."

"We left on the ship called the Sire. I served as the gunner. When we arrived at Autobot City, I gunned several Insecticon clones, along with doing some damage to the Seeker called Skywarp. After that, I covered wounded while they made their way to the medical officers."

"Who were the officers?"

"Architectural Officer Grapple, Dinobot Medical Unit Swoop, and Scientist Unit Perceptor, plus I saw glimpses of Sniper Unit Tracks, Sunstreaker, and towards the end, Geologist Beachcomber. So after the battle, me, Dinobot Spacial Unit Snarl, Supply Officer Sideswipe and Cassette Interceptor Steeljaw discovered the body of Security Officer Red Alert, who had been shot in the back."

"Was he still functional?"

"Barely. He suffered extreme damage to his back. His spark casing was breached. As soon as we had dragged him back to the medical team, a new set of 'Cons under Galvatron showed up. At this point, Communications Officer Blaster sent me and Rescue Unit Inferno to the Ark to retrieve the combiner teams."

"Why couldn't you comm. them?"

"Galvatron shut off all communications."

"I see. Thank you for your time. I see that you're gruff and upset about this, so-"

"I'm not upset!"

"Denial, now. Here's some synthetic Energon to…distract you."

"I DON'T NEED DRUGS!"

"Calm down, Ge-"

*SMACK*

"SHUT UP!"

"C-calm down, or I will call security."

"I-I-I'm s-s-sorry. I'm so sorry. I complained because I wanted to make people happy. I can't do that now."

"Easy there. Let's tackle more without the pressure of the recorder."

-END TRANSMISSION-

A/N: So I know the club established Red died. I don't care. After all, that happened in the WoH universe, which is supposed to be slightly different from the regular G1 cartoon universe. So that accounts for my different origins for the 2nd year Autobots, along with the Protectobots (all of which will be explained in an upcoming story). So yeah, I saved Red, because in the regular G1 universe, it was never established he died. Y'all can hold your thanks.
