AC: Sorry it takes a while but I erase the chapter by accident when it was over at 85%. I manage to find 60% of it in a USB key but the lacks of review didn't motivate me to continue. I've receive one review to ask me to continue and I'll do it.
I also make a few brain storms for the story purpose and I think I have a good idea of where I am going now.
Difference from the prime Universe.
Decepticon:
Megatron: The difference is that his gray body has some blue and red line starting from his feet to his face.
Soundwave and laser beak: No difference.
Starscream: His chest is red paint while the rest is white.
Knock Out: His paint job is pale red.
Breakdown: His paint job is blue light.
Shockwave: He is purple and has some yellow at his arms.
Hardshell: Still the same. He is covered with scar of numerous battles. (Chief of the Insecticon)
Kickback: He looks like all normal Insecticons except a long scar at his chest. (The funny Insecticon)
Vehicons: They are the same. (I just like them that way)
Important one: Steve; the alpha (chief) of the vehicons, Joker; the funny vehicon, Maso the masochist and Silver (The only vehicon with silver paint) the miner chief.
Autobot:
Optimus: His paint job color is the same but way much darker, which seems more close to black than red and blue.
Bumblebee: No difference.
Arcee: Her paint job is blue and black.
Bulkhead: He has dark green paint job with a few black lines and scars over his body.
Rodimus: He looks like in the G1 version but he has an image of dark flame on his shoulders.
Drones: They all have a black body. They have similar body forms than the vehicons but a few differences are visible. They have horns on the sides of their head with silver color. They are also larger and bigger than the vehicons. They have 4 optics. 2 at the front of their face, like any normal human, and 1 for each size of their head. They doesn't have mouthplate and aren't sentient.
Elites Drones: They are the same than the Drone but they have better weaponry and a stronger armor.

Chapter 7: Scientist mad mode
Nemesis: Shockwave lab
Shockwave checks in his inner clock and sees that a week has pass since the punishment of Hasher. It was finally over and he knows he's already in the control room. He decides to go search for him since there's nothing to do today. He then walks to the control room when he sees Knock Out walking to the medic room. He appears to be calmer since all the race case and the satisfaction to achieve one of his programs.
"Hi...Knock Out." Says Shockwave. He's still mad at him to brought Hasher to the race.
"Hi..." Then Knock Out walks a little away from Shockwave.
"Don't worry; I won't make you trap into the small ventilation." Says Shockwave please by the fear.
"Good...Breakdown needed an hour to take me out of there." Says Knock Out. "Oh yeah! The 4 humans are busy with their work so return to your lab."
"I'll say hello to Hasher." Says Shockwave.
"Alright...But I guess he will focus on his work." Says Knock Out.
"Alright." Says Shockwave.
He then continues walking until he enters in the control room. He then sees the guardian with their partner working on their project.
Arielle was a simple one, since she's the youngest; she's making the solar system with Kickback and under the supervision of Hardshell so Kickback won't so anything stupid. She was currently painting the different planet of the solar system.
"Don't move Kickback...I almost finish painting S...Saturn." Says Arielle. She was also learning about the solar system that way.
He turns around and sees Julia working on a computer science project, she is currently writing a power point about the result of her project. She seems to be advance in it when she saves it frequently. Shockwave looks closer and it is a project about stereotype and racism.
Mullen was working on a volcano. Joker and Maso were watching the result. Shockwave guess its Maso because Joker tries not to touch him. Mullen was advance in his volcano when Shockwave walks to close and the vibration breaks a part of it.
"Sorry." Says Shockwave.
"It's alright...If it didn't resist this it would have broken up anyway." Says Mullen.
Shockwave then turns his attention to Hasher who's currently trying to build something.
"What are you doing?" Asks Shockwave.
"You talk to me...It means the week is over...Anyway...I'm working on a simple project right now. It's a project with this little rat who must find the exit in the labyrinth I've made." Says Hasher.
"I see...I've made it something similar with Kickback...He never gets out of the labyrinth and break the hypothesis that Insecticon has program to orient themselves." Says Shockwave.
"Hey!" Shouts Kickback.
"Sorry but it's true." Says Shockwave. "Anyway...I guess you can use my help."
"Hum..." Hardshell was hesitant. "Will you turn into scientist crazy mode again?"
"What do you mean?" Asks Shockwave.
"You are not in your lab so...It's a little problem." Says Hardshell.
"Don't worry...Where are the others?" Asks Shockwave.
"Breakdown, Soundwave, Steve, Starscream and Megatron are on a mission. An object has been detected at the Grand Canyon and they are searching for it." Says Hardshell.
"I see." Says Shockwave. "Now let me give you a little help."
All decepticons presents in the control are worried that it will end up badly.
Grand Canyon
The 5 decepticons begins searching for the object detected and they have found nothing for now. They continue searching and they still see nothing.
"The Grand Canyon isn't name that way for nothing." Says Steve.
"We'll have to separate into 2 groups, Soundwave, Starscream and I are searching it from the air while you are searching from the ground. We stay in contact and visible so we can maintain optic contact." Says Megatron.
They all comply and they separate into 2 groups.
Breakdown and Steve were rolling on the ground.
"So...How does it fell to have a charge?" Asks Breakdown.
"It is very good. I've present every vehicons...He doesn't remember them but he listens to our names. I think he figure out that our names is important to us." Says Steve.
"I mean more in the everyday." Says Breakdown.
"It is never boring with him. He always playing with us or listening to us when we want to talk. We also watch him when he does his homework. It changes a lot with him but for the better. It makes me want to fight harder to protect this planet." Says Steve.
"I see...I regret refusing taking care of them...But we have a bad start together...But I'll also protect them. They completely change the life in the Nemesis by their presence only." Says Breakdown.
Nemesis: Control room
Vehicons and Insecticons in the control room looks at Shockwave becoming madder by the time pass.
"I think you're solar system needs to be bigger...Yeah...Bigger." Says Shockwave.
"Shockwave...You're scarring me." Says Arielle.
Kickback takes Arielle in his servo.
"Don't worry...Shockwave is just into crazy mode." Says Kickback.
"That's not...calming us." Says Mullen.
Julia accelerates her project and that drag Shockwave attention.
"I think I can upgrade you're presentation." Says Shockwave. "I just need to put a 3d projector or maybe doing a demonstration of racism."
Julia looks at him and says no.
"DON'T TELL ME IT'S A BAD IDEA!" Screams Shockwave out of his usual self.
"HE'S IN CRAZY MODE AT MAX!" Screams Joker.
All vehicons and Insecticons move to one side of the control room.
"Hey! What's the racket he- Woah." Says Knock Out when he sees Shockwave moving his servo a little evilly and doing a part of Arielle project. "I see nothing...And I back away." Knock Out escapes from the situation.
The vehicons and Insecticons realise that Hasher, Julia and Mullen are still in Shockwave's way. Julia slowly back away, but her portable was his target. Julia registers it in her computer and USB key.
"He looks like a movie monster." Comments Kickback when they see Shockwave moving closer to Julia.
"This is Hardshell...Megatron...We have a crazy scientist mode here." Says Hardshell.
"-...We are occupied for the moment...Good luck.-" Says Megatron.
"...We are on our own." Says Hardshell.
Mullen walks closer to Joker while Julia loses her portable for a second while Shockwave takes the content of her project. He then walks out of the room.
"We are safe...For now." Says Kickback.
Kickback takes the project of Arielle and her then they hide someplace else, where Shockwave won't search them.
"I think we should do that too." Says Joker.
Shockwave returns faster than they anticipate.
"...Where is the science project of Arielle?" Asks Shockwave.
A long screams is hear in the Nemesis.
Grand Canyon: In the air
"I hate it when Shockwave is in this stage." Comments Starscream. "He can be very...scary."
"Sometimes I wonder if he's a mad scientist." Says Megatron.
"Megatron...Autobot." Says Soundwave with different voice.
"Breakdown...Steve, Autobot to the north of your position, we land and we join you discreetly." Says Megatron.
"-Roger.-" Says Breakdown and Steve.
The 3 fliers land on the ground and walks has slowly and silently giant robots can do. They begin to peck what's happening inside the canyon and sees that they were Arcee, Bulkhead, Wheeljack, Rodimus and 12 drones. They are getting something a little bigger than them out of the rocks. They then look at what they have found more closely.
"Soundwave...Can you identify what is it?" Asks Megatron.
Soundwave watches it move closely and he uses Laserbeak to look closer. When Laserbeak send the image, he jumps in surprise.
"What is it?" Ask Starscream and Megatron.
"It's an evacuation pod." Says Soundwave with different voice.
"One of ours...Or one of them?" Asks Megatron.
"Skyquake...The autobot haven't realise yet." Says Soundwave with different voice...The one he says to give the decepticon name is Dreadwing...Skyquake brother.
"We have to rescue him." Says Megatron.
"And hope Shockwave is back to normal when this is all over." Says Starscream.
"-We are in position.-" Says Steve.
"Good...Prepare for the surprise attack." Says Megatron.
Steve and Breakdown where located at one side in the Grand Canyon while Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave where at the other side. They all charge their blaster.
"Attack in 3...2...1...Now!" Orders Megatron.
The decepticon charges and they fire at the autobot who fire back. Steve and Breakdown appear out of view of the autobot and they fire at their back. The drones were quickly destroyed by the surprise attack. The other autobots fire back at the group and they all hide behind covers and they shot at the other groups for a while.
Soundwave takes his chance and he has jammed the communication and he fires back until he has an opportunity to strike. Without the possibility to communicate for the autobot, they are at disadvantage. Starscream, Soundwave and Megatron attacks from the other side and they create a cross fire. Because it was a 2 side fight against the autobots, they have the upper hand thanks to the average and the autobots retreat for now. The autobot didn't have cover for the 2 sides. Megatron watches them rolling away and he knows they are trying to find a place to call backup.
"That's an easy victory." Comments Steve. "We finally have one easy victory...Usually it is a tough one."
"We have the average this time thanks to the simple, yet efficient surprise attack...I think I Bulkhead faceplate." Says Breakdown.
"We have rescue Skyquake before the autobots find out it was him and...Kill him or pirating his processor to make him a slave." Says Starscream.
"It is only a rumor." Says Megatron. "The fact that they have someone who can break and transform the processor is impossible because of our spark."
"I know...But if a rumor about this is spreading out...There must be a reason." Says Starscream.
"So...How are we going to bring the pod to the Nemesis?" Asks Breakdown.
"I think we have to hurry too...I'm afraid it is very messy in the ship right now." Says Steve. "None of us can deal with Shockwave in his rare crazy moment."
"Let's open the bridge and bring him in the nemesis...Then we deal with Shockwave and finally, we move the capsule so Knock Out can safely release Skyquake." Says Megatron.
"Alright...Soundwave...You know what to do." Says Starscream.
Soundwave opens a bridge and they bring with some trouble the evacuation capsule in the groundbridge.
Nemesis: Bridge control
The five return in the Nemesis and they look around.
"Looks like they are not here." Says Starscream.
"...Me...Megatron Prime." Says a voice.
They see Kickback exiting his hideout with his charge Arielle.
"You're finally back...Shockwave is out of control and I hear everyone shout of fear...He's really in his crazy mode to the max." Says Kickback. "You have to knock him out until he stops to bug!"
"I'll deal with him now...Where is Knock Out?" Asks Megatron.
"He is trying to stay out of the way." Says Kickback.
"Alright...Breakdown and Starscream, You are with me and we will deal quickly with Shockwave. Soundwave, find Knock Out and we will talk about Skyquake later." Says Megatron.
Soundwave nods.
"Steve...Stay with our soldier here and with Kickback...We will need you strength to move the pod later."
"Alright!" They both answer.
Megatron and his 2 soldiers walk at the direction of the control room and they reach the door. They hear Hasher shouting:
"WHY DIDN'T I SEE THAT COMING?"
"WHERE'S ARIELLE AND HER PROJECT?" Screams Shockwave.
"Now!" Orders Megatron.
The trio enters in the room and they see the vehicons and Insecticons on a corner with Shockwave walking at their direction.
"Starscream...Try and catch his attention." Says Megatron.
"That's easy...Hum...Shockwave...Is CNA stands for Chromatic National Antiphonic?" Asks Starscream.
"WHAT?! You say you are a scientist and you don't even know that CAN stand for Cybernucleic Acid!" Shouts Shockwave and turning his attention to Starscream.
Megatron raises his fist while Breakdown raises his hammer and they knock him out when he wasn't looking.
"Works every time. Well...only when he's in crazy mode." Says Starscream.
"Alright...Now that this problem is settle." Says Megatron turning the attention to the others.
"No worry...Never bring project here." Says Hasher. "It's just too damn scary what we witness here."
Everyone nods.
"I think you should return home." Says Megatron. "Gets your things out of here while Shockwave deglitch himself while he's in stasis."
"He's alright...Right?" Asks Hasher.
"Of course he will be alright." Says Mullen. "He's a giant robot. What can go wrong?"
"We are strong yes but not invisible." Says Breakdown.
"Alright...See you guys later...Without project...Better known next time what we cannot bring." Says Mullen.
Julia waves them good-bye and they return to their home. Maso and Joker give them a ride after searching for Arielle.
"Alright...Hardshell...I need your help...brings a few of your strongest Insecticon to move a pod." Orders Megatron.
"Will do Prime." Says Hardshell.
Medic room
Shockwave come back online and he tries to stand up in the medic room but he notices he is restrain on the table. He sees only Breakdown there watching him.
"...Let me guess...I went crazy again?" Asks Shockwave.
"Yes. You lost your processor because of those projects...They all manage to save it from you and will not bring more here." Says Breakdown. "Anyway...What is the source of your glitch?"
"...Don't know...Every one of us glitch without a real reason." Says Shockwave.
"True but...Glitching like that?" Says Breakdown.
"I do not know the source...Maybe I always want to make something great...Who knows? Even I don't know? Just like why Knock Out looks at his paint so much? No one knows." Says Shockwave.
"Anyway...Since you're back to normal...I can take out the restrain and I'll help move the pod." Says Breakdown.
"What's in it?" Asks Shockwave.
"Skyquake." Says Breakdown.
"He's...here." Says Shockwave surprise.
"Yes...Now let's go and move it so Knock Out can online him." Says Breakdown.
Nemesis: Hangar room (Night)
Knock Out studied the pod and he wonders how he can put Skyquake out of stasis. Shockwave joins him and he looks at it.
"So...one of our best soldiers did survive that battle." Says Shockwave.
"True Shockwave." Says Knock Out relief that he is back to normal. "I need to online him safely if we want to know what happen there...And treat anything bad."
"I can help you look at the pod." Says Shockwave.
"His brother will be relief and glad that he is still online." Says Knock Out.
"When the bond will emit...I'm sure Dreadwing will come here immediately." Says Shockwave.
"Yeah...A very happy reunion." Says Knock Out.
"More like a reunion where they only say you are alright and nothing more. You know they are not...Very affectionate and emotional." Says Shockwave.
"You are not that much too but you are protective of Hasher." Says Knock Out. "He's the first one you really...As the human says...Warm up."
"Yeah...Alright...Time to wake up a fellow soldier." Says Shockwave.
