Disclaimer: Well, here's the first official chapter of my Transformers rewrite. As usual, I don't own the right to Transformers. Just so everybody knows; all Transformers will be based on the Classics series. I know that'll be hard to imagine, so just bear with me.

TRANSFORMERS
TIL ALL ARE ONE

Chapter I

Cybertronian Space
Earth Year 2010 –

Cybertron, birth place of the Transformers, and the battle ground for a centuries long civil war. A war that had gone on for far too long. Five stellar-cycles prior, the Decepticons had all but taken control the war torn planet, forcing their enemies, the Autobots, to take up separate stations on two of Cybertron's moon. The Autobots had also established a city/battle station in the Oregon Mountains on Earth, near Autobot Headquarters. Though, that hardly did much to turn the tide in their favor. It was a fact not lost on Optimus Prime, who over the years had grown increasingly frustrated with the war. He dared not show it. The last thing the Autobot leader needed was for his troops to sense his frustration. Ironhide, the Autobots' Weapons Specialist and one of Prime's oldest friends since the last Golden Age of Cybertron, knew Prime well enough to know he wasn't the least bit happy with the state of things nowadays. Ironhide of course, made no bones about his own disdain for the war. Nor did he attempt to hide it.

"Twenty decca-cycles of starin' at a monitor, at the same exact image of 'cons flyin' all over Iacon," he complained in annoyance. "I swear, I can feel my optics startin' to glitch."

Sitting next to Ironhide was Prowl, the Autobots' Chief of Security, who wasn't quite enjoying the Weapon Specialist's procrastinating. "Stop the whining, Ironhide! We've got a job to do in keeping an optic on the Decepticons. It's not that bad if you think about it."

"Speak for yourself, Prowl," Ironhide snapped. "I should be out there right now, bustin' Decepti-chops. Not rustin' in a chair! No offense, by the way!"

Prowl shook his head and declared, with slight annoyance, "None taken!"

On a separate level of the security station, Optimus Prime could easily overhear the two Autobots arguing. He soon after turned toward the duo of Jazz and Cliffjumper. "Jazz, what's the current status of our airspace?"

Jazz glanced over his shoulder toward his leader. "Our airspace is pretty clear at this point, Prime. As far as I can tell, there ain't no Decepticon shenanigans in this area."

"This'd be a lot easier of Cosmos didn't let himself get killed," Cliffjumper spat, referencing the loss of Cosmos after Starscream blew him in half. "And where in the Pit is Skyfire? What he do to disappear? Fly into a black hole?"

"Cliffjumper!" Prime finally exclaimed.

Cliffjumper shrugged like he was the victim. "What! I'm just saying!"

"That's enough," Prime stated. "Get in contact with Moon Base Two. Let's see what Bumblebee and his team are up to."

"No good, I'll bet," Cliffjumper quipped as he flipped some switches on his console. "This is Cliffjumper calling Moon Base Two, come in Moon Base Two."

The short wave signal coming from Moon Base One would like take less than a microsecond to reach Moon Base Two. It was at this particular station that Bumblebee was running the show, so to speak. Of course, he wasn't acting alone. Assisting him were Samuel "Spike" Witwicky, the Autobots human ally from Earth, and his wife Carly. Both had grown up over the passed two decades, as they've seen some wild adventures. Both were now in their early thirties, and made of a pair of exo-suits for deep space missions. It was certainly a step up, especially for Spike, from being trapped in a Frankenstein-type Autobot body at one point. Then there was the trek to Cybertron to recover Cybertromium for the then malfunctioning Autobots, as well as keeping the Dinobots out of trouble In the case of the Dinobots, Spike and Carly even assisted in the creation of a new member for the team. In any event, the transmission came through the intercom, and Cliffjumper's voice sounded.

"This is Cliffjumper calling Moon Base Two, come in Moon Base Two."

Bumblebee was the first to respond to the call. "This is Bumblebee on Moon Base Two. What's up, Cliffjumper?"

"Just calling to get a security update," Cliffjumper stated from his post on Moon Base One. "Any sign of Decepticons in your area?"

"It's all clear on our end," Bumblebee informed. "I'm guessing it's about the same over there."

"Yep, same old boring security detail," Cliffjumper quipped. "I swear, I don't know how Prowl can deal with sitting around all cycle. Hold up for a sec, here's Prime."

Cliffjumper pulled away from the screen and Optimus Prime appeared in his place. Bumblebee, this is Prime. Ironhide and Prowl are on their way to a transport shuttle bound for Autobot City on Earth."

"Copy that, Prime," Bumblebee said. "As reported, airspace is clear on our end."

Spike, having overheard the conversation, contacted Jazz on Moon Base One. "Jazz, this is Spike."

"Sup, Spike!"

"You mind patching me through to the shuttle?" Spike asked.

"Gimme one sec, and I'll patch you through." Jazz exclaimed.

"Still don't see the reason behind us takin' a damn shuttle to Earth!" Ironhide procrastinated, which he'd been doing since he and Prowl arrived at the spaceport.

"You heard Prime," Prowl said. "We can't commence with a full scale assault on Cybertron without the necessary energon supplies."

"Well, I for one cannot wait to return to Earth," said Skids, the Autobots Geologist and resident daydreamer. "There's still so much of that world to see."

"Well, you can stay on that mud ball excuse for a planet for all I care." said the always surly Gears, his disdain for Earth as evident as ever.

Brawn, the Autobot's resident tough bot, was actually enjoying the banter between Gears and Skids. "Careful, Gears! Skids might try to attack you with a tree."

"I'd like to see him try." Gears said.

"C'mon, guys," chimed Ratchet, the Autobot's Chief Medical Officer. "Save it for the Deceptions."

As the shuttle crew argued, Jazz chimed in from the Sec-station. "Yo, Ironhide, I got Spike on the other line. Patchin' him through."

Jazz disappear off screen and then Spike appeared. "How's it going over there, Ironhide?"

"We're just makin' final launch preparations, Spike," Ironhide answered. "Personally, I can't wait to get back we can start bustin' some Decepti-chops."

"We're sure you'll get your chance," Carly said in assurance. "Listen, if it's not too much trouble, look up our son Daniel for us. He ought to be about fifteen by now."

"Aw, they grow up so fast, don't they?" Brawn said in the background.

"Cute, Brawn," Spike quipped. "Anyway, tell Daniel that we miss him, and that we'll be on our way home once we've knocked Megatron's die cast laden ass clear across the galaxy."

"Will do, Spike!" Ironhide said with a thumbs up.

This time, Carly chimed in, "Word of warning, Ironhide; Daniel's most likely hanging out with Hot Rod."

"Well, thanks Carly, for making my job just a bit more excitin'." Ironhide quipped.

Back at the Sec-station, Jazz had the shuttle on the main monitor. "Transport shuttle Alpha, your airspace is clear of all traffic."

"Roger that, Jazz," Prowl responded. "Pre-flight ignition sequence beginning."

"Their good to go, Prime." Jazz said to the Autobot leader.

"Alright, Jazz, commence countdown!" Prime said.

"Transport Shuttle Alpha, countdown to launch, T-minus ten seconds," Jazz said, keeping the shuttle on screen at all times. "Five… four… three… two… one… and we've got a go for liftoff, baby!"

The shuttle's engines flashed and then roared to life in less that seconds. There was the usual shaking within the cockpit, something the crew felt and were used to. Most of them anyway. Prime, Jazz and Cliffjumper watch on the main monitor as the shuttle began rolling across the lane. Its movement was slow at first, but very quickly picked up speed. Then it lifted nose first into the air until at was all the way off the ground. It was smooth sailing from there as the shuttle flew into space. As before, Optimus Prime, Jazz and Cliffjumper looked on from the Sec-station, inwardly glad that the launch went off without a hitch.

"This is Transport Shuttle Alpha," Prowl chimed in from the shuttle. "Launch has been completed successfully and we are on route to Earth."

"Roger that, Prowl," Jazz responded. "Congrats on the launch, and good hunting!"

"So, now what, Prime?" Cliffjumper asked.

Optimus Prime never for one microsecond removed his optics from the screen, and he said to Cliffjumper, "We wait. All we need is a little energon and a lot of luck."

Ever watchful of the shuttles' ascent toward the stars, the Autobots were generally unaware of the intruder spying on them. Concealed in an out of the way corner, the condor-like Decepticon Laserbeak recorded every tidbit of the goings on within the Sec-station. He'd been spying on Prime and his soldiers for the better part of seven cycles. It was, according to Megatron, a necessary gamble after the Autobot's attempted assault which resulted in the destruction of the Cybertron based Space Bridge. Conquering Cybertron gave the Decepticons a decided home field advantage. But the blasted shuttles afforded the Autobots with a tactical advantage. Laserbeak didn't have the luxury of caring about which side had what advantage. All that mattered was getting the information Megatron needed for the next attack. Capture the info, the recon bird did, before taking off and heading back toward Cybertron. Upon reaching the surface of the planet at near Mach 3 speeds, Laserbeak took to maneuvering in between structures. A trait taken from the Seekers no doubt! Many of the structures were adorn with the familiar Decepticon insignia, but Laserbeak was flying directly toward tallest tower of the Decepticon capital of Kaon. It was there that the Decepticon Science Officer Shockwave caught view of the recon bird's approach.

"Laserbeak returns to us, Megatron." he announced in a near monotonous voice.

Laserbeak flew passed Shockwave and onto the waiting arm of Megatron. "Welcome home, Laserbeak," he greeted the bird while rubbing its beak. "As always, you never disappoint me. It's a shame that I cannot say the same for some of my other warriors."

The snide remark from the Decepticon leader was, as was all else, directed right at Starscream. A Decepticon, especially one as cunning and devious as the Decepticon Air Commander, could only take so much. In the case of Starscream, he more than likely deserved it. All the times, since the start of the war, that Starscream had tried and failed miserably to usurp command of the Decepticons from Megatron; it was no wonder most in the ranks distrusted him. The last failed assault on the Moon Bases didn't help matters, something of which Megatron was sure to remind him.

"Don't put the blame on me, Megatron," he snapped. "How was I to know that the Autobots installed defense lasers on their moons?"

"Had you been more thorough in your own reconnaissance, Starscream, we wouldn't have lost any troops." Megatron matter-of-factly snapped back.

"They were only Insecticon clones," Starscream pointed out. "Easily replicable, although you make sound as if they'd all succumbed to cosmic rust."

"As always, you're making more excuses than you're worth," came another voice. From the shadows came a Decepticon that greatly resembled Starscream, save that it was of course, female. "Maybe next time, I'll perform recon and leave you to drift into a super nova."

Starscream glared menacingly at the Decepticon femme fatale. "You're one to talk, Slipstream. But need I remind you that you were created from part of me. I can just as easily melt you down."

"You'll also created the Combaticons, and that didn't work out well for you," Slipstream gleefully reminded Starscream of that past failure. "What makes you think you'll have better luck with me?"

"You insubordinate little…"

"Enough, both of you," Megatron commanded, effectively shutting up his Second-in-Command and his clone before turning to Soundwave. "Soundwave, playback Laserbeak's findings."

Megatron allowed Laserbeak to transform and enter the deck that made up the chest of Communications Officer, to which Soundwave emotionlessly replied, "As you command, Megatron."

Soundwave wasted little time and transformed in his signature tape deck mode. A moment later, Soundwave connect himself to a monitor. This action prompted the Decepticons in attendance, mainly Megatron, Shockwave, and Starscream to gather around the monitor. The screen appeared as static at first, before clearing up to show the inner workings of the Sec-station. Then several Autobots appeared on screen, including Optimus Prime, who was speaking to Prowl and Ironhide.

"I need the two of you to pilot a transport shuttle to Autobot City on Earth." Prime said.

"But Prime, this could be a massive waste of time and effort." Ironhide protested.

"We don't have a choice, Ironhide," Prime reasoned. "A full scale assault on Cybertron would be futile without the necessary energon to support it. Ready the shuttle for launch," The video later cut toward the final scene of Prime with Cliffjumper and Jazz. "All we need is a little energon and a lot of luck."

The video ended froze then and there, prompting a response from Starscream. "Seems the Moon Bases have been left defenseless."

"You'd think so, wouldn't you Starscream?" Megatron mocked his Second-in-Command.

Undeterred, Starscream claimed, "This is our chance to strike when the bases are at their weakest."

"I'm hardly in any mood for you to fail me… again," Megatron stated, once again effectively putting Starscream in his place. "I have something else in mind. You and Slipstream round up every Seeker available."

"But Megatron…" Starscream started to say, before Megatron grabbed him by the neck.

"You must have me confused with someone who repeats himself, Starscream," Megatron snarled. "Do as I command, unless you want to be melted down into the Insecticon's next meal."

Starscream looked as if he was going to lubricate himself. "Yes… yes, as you wish! Anything for you, mighty Megatron."

In the background, Slipstream murmured, "Better him than me!"

Megatron released his grip on Starscream and turned over to Shockwave. "Shockwave, contact Motor Master and Onslaught on Earth. Tell them to gather their troops and make for the Autobot's mountain Headquarters. They are then to await further orders from me."

"Understood, Megatron," Shockwave said. "I shall relay the message with all haste."

"Excellent," Megatron stated before returning his gaze to the frozen image of his Autobot rival. "As for your notion of luck, you'll need more than you imagine, Optimus Prime."

Author's note: That clinches the first chapter. I trust you made note of the year in which the story takes place, as well as the addition of characters that didn't appear in the movie itself. Plus, there was the bickering between Megatron and Starscream. The reason I decide to include the character Slipstream was because of a lack of female Transformers in the movie. She won't be the only new addition, so you should keep reading on.

Anyway, be sure to review.
