A/N: Woo! Another bit of the Shattered Glass fic I am learning to love.

So, for the record - Megatron! He is Animated Megatron, because I'm not even gay and I think his voice is shmexy. And helicopters are awesome.
Thunderblast! Kind of like a more flirty Elita One, because that's who she should have been...in Shattered Glass...if she was in it...oh, nevermind.
Barricade! I had a genius idea to make HIM the mute one and Bumblebee the psychotic police car. Neat, right? It's neat.
Soundwave! ERMAGERD, IT'S CYBERTRON/GALAXY FORCE/WHATEVER SOUNDWAVE! HE'S SO COOL :D. And Ravage is Shattered Ravage, who has a twitter account (I loled).
Shockwave?! Like a cross between Ratchet and Perceptor with a bit of Prowl thrown in!

Katie Meets The Decepticons

The Seekers flew in formation around Skywarp (and by extension, Katie) while the human alternated between hyperventilating and staring out of Skywarp's cockpit at the landscape passing beneath them.

Skywarp spoke up. "Sorry to interrupt your sightseeing, but I'm just going to warn you, we're about to lose some altitude."

"Uh, that's fine, Sky...warp." Katie said. "Sorry. I'm just still getting used to thinking of you as the plane and not the guy with the purple highlights."

"Don't worry about it. We don't mind, and we usually go by the nicknames anyway."

"So you're still Sky?"

"No, I'm 'Warp. TC is still TC; Star is still Star; Slip is still Slip. Dirge is...well, he's Dirge; Ramjet is 'Jet or Ram, whatever works; Sunstorm is Sunny, Sunshine, Sun, or Obsequious Scum; Thrust is just Thrust, same as Dirge." Skywarp informed Katie. He saw she was just getting more confused and added a sheepish "You'll get used to it."

The eight planes suddenly swept downwards towards a large mesa.

"Uh, Skywarp, you know we're going to crash into that rock?" Katie asked fearfully, pushing herself up away from the impending lump of sandstone.

"Nope!"

A large piece of the mesa suddenly folded upwards and the Seekers shot through and transformed (excepting Skywarp) landing in perfect formation in very Iron Man-esque poses.

Starscream sniffed, standing up. "Very good. But Sunstorm, you were five metres out of formation."

"I am trying, Starscream, but of course I could never hold a light to your magnificence." Sunstorm replied.

Skywarp flew past them and ejected a screaming Katie out of his cockpit, transformed, caught Katie gently in his giant metal hands, then landed in front of Starscream.

He opened his hands and peeked in. "You okay, KT?"

Katie shook her head, blinking. "Phew. Fine. Next time, a little warning?" she said breathlessly.

"Nah." Skywarp said, bending down and allowing Katie to jump off his hand and take a few juddering steps forward.

Starscream was looking around impatiently. "Where is he? SOUNDWAVE!"

A tall, buff-looking (if that was possible for a robot), white mech poked his head around the corner. "Hello, all you cats on the floor! That's Sir Soundwave to you, Stars, and who's the chick?" Katie distinctly heard an autotuned voice which sounded like a combination between a Harlem DJ and Garrus Vakarian say.

"Soundwave, this is Katie. She was attacked by Cliffjumper earlier. Is Lord Megatron here?" Starscream asked the white robot.

"Damn right. The boss is havin' a little jam session with Shockwave." Soundwave replied enthusiastically, pointing.

Soundwave had a pair of big swept triangular wings on his back, and a yellow and red chestplate which looked like a tape deck. Katie's ATC-trained eyes picked out pieces of an F-117 Nighthawk on his arms and legs, and his head had a blue visor and a grey face mask which moved up and down when he talked.

He pressed a button on his shoulder and the tape deck part flipped open and a white cat-shaped robot bounded out.

"LOL WASSUP?" it said. "I'M RAVAGE, WAT'S UR NAME?"

"Uh, I'm Katie?" Katie told Ravage.

"HAI! U C ME WAVIN?"

"Uh...yeah?"

Ravage looked so unbelievably happy at this, said "XD LOLZ FINALLY! G2G ATM, C U L8R" and bounded back over to Soundwave who picked him up and deposited him back into the tape-deck part of his chest.

Skywarp shuddered. "Ravage's voice is like a form of audial torture, seriously."

"Hey, speak for yourself, Space Cowboy." Soundwave said. "Let's go get in on the show upstairs. I think Megatron's wantin' some solo mix time with the newbie." He turned and walked over to another part of the room (Katie recognised it as a military facility, but she couldn't guess what kind). Skywarp picked Katie up again and he and the rest of the Seekers followed.

A black and yellow robot was typing at a large green computer. He turned and cocked his head when he saw Katie in Skywarp's hand. He let out a series of questioning beeps and pointed.

"This is Katie, Barricade. She's the human we were pretending to stay with, you know, to keep our cover up." Slipstream explained.

Barricade made some understanding beeps.

"No, Cliffjumper didn't attack her, and she died." Ramjet informed him.

Barricade made an angry beep.

"No, we didn't see Goldbug at all. Sorry." Thundercracker replied.

"This is Barricade, Katie. His voicebox was damaged in a fight. Shockwave's had a fair go at fixing it, but beeps was all he could manage to pull off." Skywarp introduced Barricade formally. "He's our scout, best in the galaxy."

Barricade beeped chidingly and waved a finger.

"Sorry, I meant best in the entire universe." Skywarp corrected, and Barricade let out a few satisfied beeps.

"Um, who's Shockwave?" Katie asked. "He sounds important."

"Shockwave is our Science Officer." Starscream answered. "He is also our team's medic."

"Ah. So this is the Seekers' ward." another, more cultured, voice said. "You say she survived an encounter with Cliffjumper? Rather fascinating, these humans' resilience."

A large, navy blue robot with one huge green eye and a gun for a left arm walked over. He inspected Katie carefully.

"Excuse my impoliteness, Katherine Molly Holmes. My designation is Shockwave. I am the Decepticon Chief Medical and Scientific Officer. You are undamaged?"

Katie winced at the use of her full name. "I'm fine."

"Judging from my own studies of the human race, the phrase "I'm fine" can denote anything from complete contentedness to suicidal tendencies." Shockwave observed. "But scans show you have no structural damage, Katherine Molly Holmes. I expected much more, taking into account Skywarp's questionable flying prowess."

Skywarp put his hands on his hips. "Was that a dig at my skills? Because it sounded like a dig at my skills."

"It was whatever you choose it to be, Skywarp." Shockwave replied non-committally.

"You ain't winnin' this dance-off, Skyguy." Soundwave put in.

"I'd have to agree with Radiohead." Slipstream said.

"Oh yeah, me too." Dirge and Thrust added simultaneously.

"No, I think Skywarp could win." Ramjet disagreed.

"Indeed. I, for one, am in awe of Skywarp." Sunstorm declared.

"I don't care." Starscream huffed.

"TC?" Skywarp begged. "Come on, bro!"

"Nope, you're finished." TC replied laconically.

Barricade put in a few apologetic beeps and shook his head sadly.

"Decepticons!" a regal voice boomed. "Calm yourselves."

"Oh, come on, darling. It was just a friendly standoff between the bot with the gun for an arm and the volatile teleporter tech test subject." a feminine voice laughed.

A gigantic grey, black, and red robot with a large black gun mounted on his right arm walked into the room, accompanied by an equally large pink, purple and yellow female robot, with a purple and grey rocket launcher attached to her arm.

"Hail Lord Megatron and Lady Thunderblast!" Starscream and Shockwave clicked their heels and saluted.

Everyone else sort of waved and said things like "Hey, boss-es"; "What's up, Megatron, Thunderblast?"; "Beep-Beep-Boop-Wheee-Wooo"; and "Damn right, the king is in".

Slipstream fist-bumped the female robot and winked. "Thunderblast, how's it humming, femme?"

"Pretty good, Slipstream. You'd be surprised how enjoyable monitor duty is." Thunderblast replied.

Megatron rolled his eyes and tiredly pinched his brow. "I was told there was someone to meet me. Come forward, Ms Holmes." he said in his deep voice.

Skywarp placed Katie on the floor, and she walked up. Megatron bent down and crouched in front of her.

"I understand you were involved in an altercation with the Autobot, Cliffjumper."

Katie looked up into the cool blue eyes and gulped. "Well, I suppose. Skywarp saved me from the demonic Dodge Challenger who wanted to squash me, so yeah. I guess."

"Skywarp did well in that respect, I must say. We will have to discuss the problem about the Autobots knowing of your existence. However, firstly, you must have questions about us. Ask anything you wish." Megatron said, making an expansive hand gesture.

"Uh, first, what are you all? Secret military experiment?" Katie asked.

"No, we are not of this Earth. We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron." Megatron answered.

"Aliens?!"

"To us, it is you who are the aliens," the great grey mech chuckled, "but yes. I suppose we are aliens."

"Why are you here?"

"Our home planet of Cybertron was devastated by civil war. It began, I must admit, after I led a rebellion against the tyrannical Senate and their leader, Sentinel Prime. His successor, Optimus Prime, now leads the Autobots on Earth."

"Was Cliffjumper one of those Autobots?"

"Indeed. And, as I do not believe the Seekers sent him to the Well of All Sparks, we must assume he has reported that you are with us. You are in danger by mere association."

"What? - but I didn't even know I had alien robots living in my flat!" Katie protested.

"I apologise, but the Autobots are not up for negotiation. If you are to return to your home, you will need protection in case they decide you an asset and attempt to capture you."

"Well, that's just great. I've got another question, by the way."

"What is it?" Megatron asked.

"I need to know all of your names." Kate told him simply.

Oh, and Knock Out lovers? I've got a present for you. Later.
