Autobots 101 Chapter 6

Authors Note: Well more of a question actually. Anyone know where I can find episodes 19+ or G1. They still are not up on YouTube to my knowledge. Yeah just PM me. Thanks

"That will be 18.96" said the cashier. Blackout dug into his pocket and pulled out a 20 feeling the rather special gap in his pants. Decepticon funds were low, real low. He had the package though and all his plans were set.

Upon arriving at the decepticon base, an old cave (because funding was bad and they needed space), a giant megatron demanded "Give me the change!". Blackout handed the remaining U.S dollars to the giant robot. "Where is the rest of it?" demanded Megatron. Blackout then pulled the receipt out of his pocket and handed it to the giant robot as well. "WHAT! DID YOU GET THE CHEAPEST KIND?!?!". Blackout nodded. "Damn fleshlings, nothing I need is ever on sale". Megatron began to conjure up a plan in his mind. "It appears our current funding is 1 U.S dollar and 4 cents. Frenzy!" a small robot scurried to the front of Megatron. "Go rob ATM's" the robot complied and scurried off. "as for you two…"

Starscream was seriously considering a mutiny. "Alright girls!" came an overly preppy voice. "My name is Shelly and I'll be your manager if you get hired to work here at… HOOTERS!"

Blackout was bored. At least he got a better Job than Starscream. "Alright what did you say your name was?" asked Joe.

"My name is Mark" replied Blackout

"Hmm so you know how to spot right?"

"Yeah I used to work in my friend's dad's gym"

"Alright you are hired, your application and resume look good. You start tomorrow"

"Alright you're hired" said Shelly. Starscream cursed his fate in his mind. "It's actually a really easy job, all you have to do is take orders and bring people their food… and just between us you get better tips if you flirt a little"

"Sam" called Optimus. Currently the boy was playing Wii Tennis with Bumble Bee.

"Just a second Optimus!" yelled Sam from the other room. This would not do, this was a far more important matter to Optimus than Wii Tennis. Optimus walked into the room and with a giant robot hand gently turned off the Wii. "What was that for?" cired Sam and Bee in unison.

"Sam, I noticed you got an 89 on that math test…" said Optimus who began to sit down. This was odd for him.

"In my psychology class I've learned about behavior patterns and I think you are leading yourself down a self destructive path". Sam was a little confused and a little well… scared, no scared wasn't the right word. "Sam, do you want to come sit on my lap?" asked Prime gesturing to his lap.

"Optimus it's really not a big deal. I'll do better next time"

"Come sit on my lap Sam"

"…" Sam finally complied. Bee was snickering but one look from Optimus shut him up.

"Now Sam, has anything been upsetting you?"

"Uh…Not really"

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Don't you pretty much know everything about my life?"

"Sam, I can't help you if you don't help me"

Blackout was counting down the seconds. He had the package in his hands and 30 dollars in his newly obtained Wallet. Decepticon funds had dramatically increased while morale dramatically decreased. "JUST A MINUTE!" Yelled Katie from inside her apartment. Finally the door opened to reveal a very strange mixture of clothes assorted on the girls body. Blackout checked the internet and went through the entire google image to find that she most resembled and image called "Lina Inverse". "Where is your costume?!" asked Katie.

"Well the website said it was optional"

"BUT EVERYONE WILL BE IN COSTUME!" laughed Katie. "Is this your first time?"

"Yes"

"Come with me, I think I have something for you"

This was wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Turn around now. Ratchet arrived at the entrance to Anime Weekend Oklahoma but this time he was not an ambulance. The robot had taken on what would be a perfect cosplay of spike from cowboy bebop. Simply walking around he was getting several cheers and pictures taken.

"Will you marry me?" asked a girl who ran up and hugged him.

"Um perhaps I do not understand your request, for a moment I believed you wished for me to join with you in the ceremony of holy matrimony"

"Haha that's cute"

Ratchet spent no time in separating himself from the crowd. "What am I doing, these are not my kind of people… primus what hasn't gone wrong tonight?". Suddenly a small electrical blip came up on his radar. His radar was still tuned to only pick up all-spark related frequencies which meant… no. There wouldn't be another being possessing a spark unless Optimus or another Autobot came. Still he should at least identify the source.

People laughed at Blackout as he strode through the crowd. "You look so cute as Pikachu!" laughed Katie. It surprisingly wasn't all that bad. In a certain manner he was enjoying it. Throughout the course of the convention they ended up watching several actually enjoyable human film creations. It was only a little to late that he realized he was emmiting a spark signal. He turned it off fast. Weird, he wondered why he was broadcasting it, usually it could be cloaked unless…

bang !. A shot rang out and hit Blackout in the back. He fell to the floor. Katie instantly went to him and knelt over him. Ratchet couldn't fire with her in the proximity.

"Megatron! I am under attack by a suspected unidentified Autobot!" broadcasted Blackout.

"We will be there shortly" came a reply
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sam's life all made sense now. He was simply hiding his true potential because he was afraid of how society would view him.

"OPTIMUS! DECEPTICONS! IM SENDING THE COORDINATES" came Ratchets voice through the computer system. Before Optimus could even give the orders Ironhide Transformed and was on his way.

"Lets Move!" said Optimus who was already halfway through his transformation.

"But violence is wrong" said the newly enlightened Sam.

"Sometimes… well… lets go!"

The Autobots left a mind shattered Sam back at base alone. Had everything he talked to Optimus about be a lie. His whole perception on life shattered? Oh well he had Nintendo.

Megatron was amused by either the bravery or the stupidity of these humans. Instead of fleeing as per custom they were all gathered around his feet. "Out of my way pesky fleshlings". He had not intended for them to obey so willingly. The simply cleared a path and began resuming their actions of staring and taking pictures. Abovehead was Starscream circling and about 200 yards in front of Megatron was Blackout with the aquired target. Barricade was out front to prevent any more Autobots from entering. This new Autobot would be the first to die in the new war. Ratchet began to run towards the entrance when a large shadow quickly flew over him.

Ratchet looked up to see a transforming police car falling from being thrown. Optimus appeared and was quickly followed by Jazz.

"Oh my God! Those things are real" screamed Katie. Blackout took her into his arms and began running to the side.

"Megatron!" yelled a surprised Optimus.

"Well Well Prime, It appears you are once again late to the party"

"But how Megatron?"

"Wouldn't you like to know" said Megatron showing his razor sharp serrated teeth.

"This is the best convention EVER!" yelled a spectator.

Katie and Blackout rushed into a large dining hall. It was empty and the two scurried away from the action. Suddenly Katie broke down crying "We're going to die! What the hell are they! WHY!". Blackouts biological sensors as underequiped as they were could tell the human was going into shock. He speech pattern alone indicated a primitive mindset.

"I promise I won't let them hurt you" said "Mark" as he took the crying girl into his arms and for once he felt an obligation to keep his word and he didn't mind.
