Author's Note: Personally, I think #44 is the best out of the new rules I finally finished writing. XD


Rule #43: It's not a smart idea to sign comrades up for anger management counseling and/or groups.

(Sunny thought Ironhide and Ratchet's tempers were out of control.)

(So she signed them up for an anger management group.)

(It took some convincing, but she got the duo off the base and led them to the place the group was meeting. Somehow, neither of them asked where Sunny was taking them before they were dropped off and Bumblebee picked her up and brought her back to base.)

(The people in the anger management group didn't even comment on Ratchet and Ironhide's names. They DID however comment on the fact that their newest members to the group were giant robots.)

(There was mass mayhem to be had when Ratchet and Ironhide's tempers snapped and did their best to level the place.)

(Sunny found it's much safer to live inside Warpath's vehicle mode.)

(I asked her about it and she gave me a cheeky grin and flipped her hair like a diva.)

("I listen to people talk about what cars they want for a first car. Me? I want a tank. Why? So I can be fashionable while knocking names off my hit list at the same time! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!")

(That got me worried and I called First Aid, the new medic to land on Earth, to come get her and run a mental exam.)

(This being the first time he's gotten around humans for a long period of time and eager to see how different each person is than the next, he rather gleefully picked up Sunny and took her away kicking and screaming.)

Rule #44: "I wish to take over the world with an army of flying monkeys" is not a valid excuse for attempting to do something stupid in Wheeljack's lab that will ultimately leave you in the Med Bay.

(I was feeling determined.)

(And random.)

(Wheeljack was all for helping me make the robots and clone them before covering them in faux fur and bellboy suits like in the movie.)

(I think he did it because it sounded funny to him, but nevertheless, he did help.)

(Two months of working later, we decided to give it a test run.)

(The day we were going to test our flying robots out also happened to be the day Mearing, Simmons, and Galloway were visiting the base, which made the incident all the more funny.)

(Jack and I took our places on the roof of the base and he pressed the button that activated the flying robot monkeys.)

("Fly! Fly, my minions! We shall take over the entirety of the Waffle House restaurant chain and dominate the WORLD! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!")

(It was all the more hysterical when Wheeljack let out his own creepy ass mad scientist cackle and maneuvered the robot monkeys to dive bomb Mearing and throw clumps of decomposed organic stuff from his lab that looks like poop at Galloway.)

(This continued for well over three hours as other NEST soldiers and Autobots gathered to watch the spectacle before Optimus, Ratchet, and Prowl were finally located to put a stop to the madness they previously didn't know about happening on the tarmac.)

(Just as Optimus and the others arrived, the monkeys went haywire and began exploding.)

(One of them flew real close to where Wheeljack and I were hiding on the roof and blew up, injuring us both pretty bad.)

(When Optimus demanded an answer for the reason behind the madness that happened that day...)

("I wish to take over the world with an army of flying monkeys! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!")

(What's even funnier was I didn't say that. Mostly 'cause I told Wheeljack to use it as an excuse if we were caught, which we were. The evil scientist laugh was a nice touch to the declaration of using monkey robots that fly via fire coming out of their buttholes, though. Kudos, Jackie, for helping me with my half-baked scheme and making it even more hysterical by putting the mini jet packs that helped them fly where they were.)

(Prowl glitched and landed face first into a particularly big clump of the suspicious decomposing organic stuff from Jack's lab which in turn made Ratchet come real close to glitching himself after they saw the few of the monkey robots that survived going haywire flying around.)

(We were ordered to clean up the mess after our injuries were treated and put in the brig for a few weeks in separate cells so we couldn't collaborate any more half-baked, stupid ass crackpot schemes with each other. Plus we couldn't be in the same room as each other for a couple months either.)

(But if we are and happen to start chatting, we need a chaperone since we're a terror when left to our own devices and a very, very bad influence on each other.)

(It was worth it, though! We caught everything on camera, too!)

Rule #45: Don't admit your fellow humans into mental hospitals.

(Sideswipe.)

(He admitted me, Sunny, Isaiah, Leo, Sam, Simmons, Dutch, and Galloway.)

(After attempting to escape, I was put in isolation and flipped out.)

(Leo finally managed to make a call to Lennox and he came to bail us out.)

(The guys at the hospital were very reluctant to let such prime specimens go.)

Rule #46: Paint is not a prank tool.

(I was supposed to be watching Annabelle.)

(Sideswipe took her while I had my back turned for a second.)

(I finally found them...)

(... in the hangar the Autobots hang out in.)

(Sideswipe gave Annabelle a couple buckets of paint and a paint brush and Annabelle went crazy.)

(He told her the other 'Bots needed a new paintjob and let her go to town painting on everyone while they were in recharge.)

(Everyone woke up that morning covered in pink spatters, handprints, and other assorted doodles.)

(Ironhide was completely pink!)

(Not a trace of his original black paint could be seen!)

(Brig time for Sideswipe and a reprimanding for Annabelle. I got chewed out 'cause I was taking care of her when Sideswipe took her.)

Rule #47: Markers are to be used on paper only.

(I was feeling random and mischievous.)

(Being stuck in a meeting with Galloway isn't fun at all.)

(Ratchet fell asleep. Apparently he pulled too long of a shift and couldn't wait to get to his private quarters to sleep.)

(He was sitting next to me with his head propped up on his hand facing me.)

(I just so happened to have a Ziploc baggie full of markers from babysitting Annabelle earlier that day.)

(After twenty minutes of suggestions from others at the meeting and my awesome doodling skills, we were finally done.)

(Ratchet walked out of that meeting with a very high temper, fewer bullets than he went in with, and Transformer sized tools lodged into the walls, floor, and ceiling.)

Rule #48: If you are looking for attention from a fellow teammate or Autobot, glomping them is not an appropriate manner to do so.

(If you don't know what glomping is, you're basically throwing yourself at someone and tackling/hugging them.)

(The best part is they never see you coming!)

(I started this all over the base, starting with Bumblebee since he was still a little upset about the Linkin Park incident.)

(Me suddenly jumping out and hugging him scared him, but he quickly recovered and hugged me back, though. :3)

(This eventually spread to the others, namely Jazz, Bumblebee, and almost everyone else who had a knack for being sneaky and fun looking to spread some cheer around to teammates and Autobots having a bad day.)

(Wheeljack has become exceptionally notorious for these surprise glomp attacks.)

(I've fallen victim to a lot of them, a lot of them coming from Bumblebee and Wheeljack, my new best buddies and the twins, both sets of them. Sometimes such surprise glomps come from Ironhide looking to mess around with me.)

(Even little Annabelle joined in on the fun, but she can't actually get any higher than her target's waist or legs. Optimus, Ironhide, and Ratchet were good sports and hugged her back. X3)

(Things just about got put to a stop when Prowl just about glitched after Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Jazz, and Bumblebee glomped the tactician all at once and took him to the floor.)

(Optimus drew the line when someone (I think it was Bumblebee) glomped Red Alert and he glitched badly enough to keep him out cold for a month.)

(Seeing as people are still glomping each other, Optimus lets us continue, but it's to be restricted and we have to give our target a warning/ask permission to glomp them before doing it.)
