Demolisher was racing down the highway, crushing cars and smashing overpasses as he headed towards the Autobot convoy. Behind him were Mixmaster and Long Haul. The Autobots began to quicken their pace, but Demolisher was closing in fast. Bumblebee went into a skid and transformed, jumping behind the rest of the Autobots.
"Go, I ll hold them off" Bumblebee shouted Demolisher saw Bumblebee standing in front of his path, so he quickened his pace, using his massive hand to push on the ground and gain momentum. Bumblebee pulled out his battle-axe, and when Demolisher was close enough, he swung at his bottom wheel, causing the huge Decepticon to lose balance and fall to the ground. Long Haul then drove up, transforming and smashing Bumblebee back. Mixmaster also transformed, turning into a giant cannon, and fired on the downed Autobot. Bumblebee rolled across the floor, and fired six missiles at the two Constructicons. Mixmaster blocked the missiles with his shields. Bumblebee then swung his axe, which collided with the shield. Bumblebee then followed through with his fist, punching Mixmaster to the ground. Long Haul then picked up Bumblebee by the head, and threw him across the highway. Long Haul then deployed two Flamethrowers, one on each hand, and tried to burn Bumblebee. The Autobot jumped back, not daring going near the flaming cone of death that Long Haul was firing. Mixmaster once again turned into his cannon mode and fired at Bumblebee, who jumped over the blast. Demolisher tried to get back up, but instead transformed back into his vehicle mode. This allowed him to get up right again. Demolisher then re transformed and smacked Bumblebee aside. Long Haul went to finish him, but Mixmaster stopped him.
"We are after the child, the more time we spend here allows the rest of the Autobots to get away" he said "Fine, but don t blame me when this bug causes more trouble" Long Haul replied.
Demolisher began to smash his way down the highway, with Long Haul and Mixmaster behind him.

The detour the Autobots had taken in their haste made them have to enter the city via the Golden Gate Bridge. Holly had always wanted to see the Golden Gate Bridge, she just wished she could have been here on better circumstances. As the Autobots crossed the bridge, and F-35 and F-16 flew under the bridge.
"This is Breakaway, I m with Skydive. We have a visual on you, do you have the child" Breakaway said over the comms.
"We have her, not sure what the Decepticons want with a human child though" Streetwise replied "You should get into the city, Decepticons are on their way" Skydive said

In the middle of the Golden Gate nation recreation area, a massive CH-53 helicopter was randomly parked in the middle of a field. From its location you could see clearly the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. A MH-53 Pave low them came and landed next to it, along with an F-22 raptor, which had crazy tattoos on it. The F-22 circled the Helicopters. "Scan complete, the Autobots are in the city" Grindor said "Excellent, begin our attack" Starscream ordered The two Helicopters suddenly powered up and took off towards the city. Starscream flew at the Golden Gate Bridge, following the path the two planes had taken. Skydive was the first in sight. Starscream fired two missiles at the F-16, which spun to avoid them.
"What the hell" Skydive shouted Starscream transformed onto of the plane, blasting it with his Vulcan Miniguns, and then jumping off it shooting it again. Skydive plummeted to the ground. Breakaway flew into Starscream as he was about to transform back into his jet. The two plummeted to the ground, both struggling to gain the upper hand. They both crashed into Alcatraz, with Starscream quickly getting on his feet. Breakaway pulled out his minigun, and fired at Starscream, who shrugged of the blasts. Starscream made a quick jump with the help of the jets on his back, and fired six dumb fire missiles at Breakaway, who was caught in the splash damage. Starscream then flew off after the Autobot convoy.

Grindor fired his side mounted machine guns down the road, narrowly missing the Autobot cars. Grindor transformed and pulled out his Wave cannon. Streetwise quickly transformed and picked up an empty car from the side of the street. The car was thrown at Grindor, causing him to miss. Grindor quickly flew off; he wasn't planning on fighting all the Autobots on his own. Starscream flew in and fired his missile, missing the Autobots. Starscream transformed and landed on a main road. "I know your here Optimus" Starscream shouted "Hand over the child, and this insect planet will survive to see another day"
As he finished, and blue long nose truck with red flames sped out of a small alleyway and skidded to a halt. Starscream pulled out his Vulcan Minigun on one hand, and a rotary saw weapon on the other. The truck then transformed, with the front splitting in half, forming to giant arms and the windows forming the ribs. Slowly the Autobot transformed, and when the head was clearly visible, Starscream knew who he was facing. Optimus Prime had arrived.
