(Here, Slipstream is not a clone nor is she related to Starscream in anyway so no flames.)
"Why Slipstream!" said a surprised Starscream. "What are you doing here?" he asked nervously.
"Isn't it obvious?" she stated sarcastically. "I'm here to discuss something with Megatron."
"If I had known you were coming, I would have prepared some high grade energon." said Starscream.
Slipstream smiled. "If you really want to impress me, go slag an Autobot." she smirked in a flirtatious manner.
Starscream smiled when he noticed Knockout leaning against the med bay doors.
"Oh, don't mind me." he said mockingly.
Starscream growled and stomped away.
"So Starscream has his optics on you after all." snickered the medic. His laughing stopped once Slipstream aimed her null ray at his head. "Not the finish! Anything but the finish!"
Slipstream sighed and transformed it away.
"Uh, Megatron's in here." stuttered Knockout.

Ratchet transformed a gun on his arm. He fired it up and aimed it at Bumblebee's throat. He fired. It was a healing cannon.
"There you go." said the medic. "Try it."
"Rrrrr.. Rroo. Roll out!" shouted Bumblebee with his own voice.
"Finally." said Ratchet. "Your all fixed up. Your time in stasis gave me time to work on your vocal processors and that laser did the final touch."
"So you can talk now?" asked Sari.
"You bet I can!" said Bumblebee excitedly. (This is easier than coming up with different radio broadcast.)
"Well you better get moving then." said Ironhide opening the doors.
"We will keep you updated on your father's condition Sari." said Optimus softly.
"Thank you." whispered Sari hugging Prime's leg. After that she jumped into Bumblebee's vehicle mode.
"Autobots.. Roll out!"
"Yeah!" shouted Mudflap. "Let's get this road trip started!"
The three robots drove out of the facility and began their journey.

"Interesting request." said Megatron to Slipstream. "Of course you have to earn it."
"Of course." smiled Slipstream. "I'll just grab the girl and.."
"That is not what I meant!" growled the Decepticon leader. "No one can just rise up to one of the top positions in my army. They must earn it."
"Well how do I do that Lord Megatron?"
"I shall train her master." said Starscream suddenly. "It will be an honor to serve you."
Megatron raised an optic ridge. This could be an excellent opportunity to get rid of Starscream. If he saw how good of a warrior she was compared to him, he might have the right to replace him. But they would need to be monitored.
"Fine. Starscream, accompany her to Earth. I shall monitor your performance through Soundwave." said Megatron.
The two Seekers began to walk out of the room.
"And Starscream."
The second in command turned around.
"The Allspark's power is mine." he growled. "If I see you even processing of using it yourself, I will extinguish your Spark slowly and painfully."
"I'm counting on it." said Starscream.

Optimus stared at the dirt road his comrade's drove off on. He was worried for them.
"Prime!" shouted Lennox from inside. "You better take a look at this."
Optimus walked into the Monitor Room. A news report was on the largest screen.
"So let me get this straight." said a short bald man. "You think that these machines, these heartless weapons of war, should have the right to vote for our next leader?"
"They are sentient beings." yelled another man.
"Based on what they've told us, they haven't picked the best leaders for even their own kind. What makes you think they can make decisions for us?"
"We have the Autobot Cooperation Act in play, we should leave it at that!" shouted another man.
"That Act labels them as refugees. They have nowhere else to go we might as well give them a home here and it is wrong for us to oppress other sentient beings. They deserve equal rights."
"Why? Why should we give them a home? What have they done for us other than cause destruction and over 300 billion dollars in damage?""Most of that damage was caused by the hostile faction. Any the Autobots caused was in defense of us!"
"It's the Decepticons that cause the damage. We need the Autobots to defend us!"
A skinny, balding, and glasses wearing man stood up and the room went quiet.
"Now here's a question?" He began walking from his seat with a stack of papers.
"What separates these "Autobots" from "Decepticons"? Is it that symbol? Should we let every dang robot without a rabid rabbit tattoo into our country? They themselves said it is a choice. Any single one of them could wake up, power up whatever the hell they do and decide "Oh I'm gonna be a Decepticon!". Besides, even the Autobots can be aggressive enough."
He slammed a picture down on a desk. It was a picture of Ironhide. He was angry and it appeared that he was pointing a cannon at a mini van. In reality, he suspected a nearby car to be a Decepticon. He had his cannon ready and when that picture was taken, he was at an angle that appeared that he was ready to fire at that van.
"Do we want these machines roaming our streets? Threatening our property? Threatening our children?"
The crowd began a massive uproar.
Optimus made a fist and stormed out of the room.

"So then what happened?" asked Sari anxiously."Then I grabbed Ravage's tail and used it to pull out his spine." said Bumblebee proudly.
"Awesome!" smiled Sari. "Did you get Rampage?"
"Yep." said the yellow car.
"That's Bumblebee for yeah." said Wasp through his com link. "He'll take on any opponent. I bet he could even take on the Battle Unit Devastator!"
"What's a Battle Unit Devastator?" asked Sari.
"You see there's a group of robots that can combine into a larger robot called Devastator. There's three units of these Constructicons, excavation, construction, and battle." said Wasp.
"Prime took out the Excavation Unit but I…"
"Yo we got a Decepticreep on our six!" said Mudflap.
"A what?" asked Sari with a raised eyebrow.
Suddenly Bumblebee 's side was smashed by a black and green muscle car.
