Okay, I was bored and I got a message asking for this one. So here you go Jenny77.

Leaning over to Michaela, Sam nudged her shoulder. "Why do we keep agreeing to help these guys play human games?" Michaela winked and pointed at Ironhide. "One: it's because Ironhide wants to get back at Sideswipe. Two: are you honestly going to tell a bunch of giant alien robots no?" She was referring to how the Autobots were going to try their luck at, you guessed it, paintball. Neither Michaela nor Sam was sure how the Autobots had learned of it or how they'd managed to create paintballs big enough to go into their cannons, but they knew one thing was for sure. All Hell was about to be unleashed and they had the best seats for the show.

Ironhide and Ratchet had insisted that they be in the same teams as for the football game. Jolt and Jetfire had both had enough sense left in them to see that it would be wiser to sit this game out. Sam had brought along his mom's video camera and had set it up high enough so it would get everything. The parking lot that they'd used for football was now littered with huge pipes and other miscellaneous items to provide cover. Optimus' team was hiding on the right side of the lot and Sideswipe's team on the left. Sunstreaker had been dragged kicking and screaming into the game by most of his teammates because he had been whining about his paintjob. Again. "A beautiful 'bot like me shouldn't be doing this! Come on, THINK OF MY FANS!"

Unlike last time, several military officers were here to watch. And they were taking bets on the outcome. Sam had taken this as a golden opportunity and was going around with a hat collecting the bets. Lennox and Epps were betting on Optimus' team. A few others were betting on Sideswipe's. Most were too interested in just watching the Autobots transform to be concerned with betting on the winning team. As the two teams were ready to start, Sam held up the hat and faced the camo-clad group. "Alright everybody, the first RoboBowl is about to begin!"

Right Side of the lot:

Ironhide, being the weapons specialist, thought it best he made the example for his teammates. And the 'enemy'. And don't forget the humans screaming for battle. And besides, he was having a ball. Sideswipe, Sunstreaker and Bumblebee were doing most of the shooting since Skids seemed to be having some trouble figuring out how to shoot his cannon. Go figure. Ironhide just barely evaded the giant balls of paint as he ran, jumped and rolled behind pipes and the other debris. After one of the last battles between the Autobots and the Decepticons, one of the larger enemy's arms had been cut off. This arm was what Ironhide was hiding behind. Optimus made his way up towards him by a different route and gave his friend a couple of hand gestures.

Left Side of the lot:

Sideswipe could no longer see Optimus or Ironhide, but he shot rapid fire at Ratchet with his green paint. He'd never noticed it before, but Ratchet had a pretty good aim. Sure he could throw a wrench like it was nobody's business, but he was good with a cannon, too. Sunstreaker was way in the back but keeping up with his shooting too. Coward. Bumblebee had gone back to where Skids was and was trying to get the minibot's cannon to work. Of course the little runt had to pick the only defective weapon in Ironhide's arsenal. Although, come to process it, that may not have been an accident. Sabotage maybe?

Right Side of the lot:

Time to move in. Ratchet kept the 'enemy's' attention as they slowly made their way closer to where Sideswipe's team had positioned themselves on the left side of the lot. Optimus and Ironhide had the hardest time staying unnoticed because of their bulk and a couple of times Ratchet had to jump out from behind the vertical steel bar he was using as cover to keep the others from seeing his teammates coming ever closer. Mudflap went fairly unnoticed although he was the more likely of the three to give himself away. The idiot usually couldn't stay quiet for long.

Sidelines:

"Oh man. Oh man. They're done for!" Sam said as he was leaning forward in his makeshift seat which was really a cooler full of beer. Michaela smiled as she stood next to the camera and zoomed in on the soon-to-be massacre zone.

Left Side of the lot:

Skids was the first to notice something was off. What is was he couldn't quite say. And then he noticed that only one person was shooting at them. "Hey, Sidesman! Where is everybody?" And then they struck. Optimus had taken the head on line while Ironhide and Mudflap went off to the right and left sides respectively. Mudflap shot Skids at pointblank in the middle of his face which sent his twin reeling back and while Bumblebee was distracted Ratchet had shot him from his hiding place back on the other side of the lot. Which only left Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. Optimus shot Sunstreaker repeatedly with his neon pink paint which sent Sunny into conniptions over his new paintjob. He abandoned his post and ran off to find some water before the paint could dry.

And then there was one. Sideswipe saw Optimus, Ratchet and Ironhide walking slowly towards him and all of their cannons were trained on him. He stood and held his cannon at his side. For a moment he seemed to be contemplating something. At this point he hurled his cannon at the three, transformed and started to spin in circles while throwing up dust, rocks and smoke from the tires. Temporarily blinded, the trio couldn't stop Sideswipe from then making a hasty retreat.

Optimus and Ratchet shrugged and started to walk away. Only Ironhide stood there and watched Sideswipe drive away into the sunset. Lennox could've sworn he saw the mech's left optic twitch a few times.

"SIDESWIPE! GET BACK HERE AND TAKE IT LIKE A BOT!"

Like most of my stories I started with a main idea and winged it. For the most part I like how it came out. Please review and tell me what you think. Good or bad?
