Transformers are owned by Hasbro and Takara. I only own this idea ^^
Offroad let out a bellow of anger as he charged forward toward Sideswipe and Strongarm. Both Autobots jumped out of his way as he swung the axe down, cutting eh air in-between them as his axe crashed into the pavement.
Stromgarm's path of flight landed her directly into the hillside and Sideswipe skidded into the guard rail and managed to stop himself. He looked up and Offroad swung his axe down toward him. Sideswipe pulled his sword out and blocked Offroads axe. Offroad stepped back as Sideswipe jumped and kicked him back.
"So what's your past with Strongarm?" Sideswipe asked as Offroad swung his axe and he dodged. "Did she bust you on a case; stand you up on a date?"" He quipped as he did a combat roll.
"What happened between us is none of your concern Sideswipe." Strongarm called out as she began to open fire at Offroad, though her shots were wild arches, Offroad noticed this and turned toward her. "Come on Strongarm, you can hit little old me can't you?" He said with a smirk.
Strongarm stared at Offroad for a moment and held her weapon up and pointed it toward him; her arm shook a little bit as she stared him down, and then fired her weapon. Offroad held his axe out and blocked the shots with it and then hurled his axe toward her. Strongarm dove to the side as the axe flew into the hillside behind her.
Sideswipe snuck up from behind and kicked Offroad in the back sending him crashing to the ground. "Rule 1 of warfare, don't turn your back on a foe and doesn't toss away your weapon." Sideswipe said cockily.
Offroad glared up at him as Strongarm walked over. "So, if I may ask what your beef with Strongarm is, did she push her rules are awesome thing too far." He asked giving Strongarm a smirk, and winking at Strongarm who growled.
"She did more than that." Offroad said with a huff. "She ruined my life and landed me a one way ticket onto the streets!" He looked at her and Strongarm narrowed her optics and her voice got low
"Offroad, I didn't know that you would do that too you." She said and then stammered out the next bit as she tried to sound confident. "B-But y-you defied the rules and got punished, that's fair."
"Wait, you defied a rule and ended up homeless?" Sideswipe said and then looked down at him and then back at Strongarm. "I knew that they were harsh with rules since the war but wow."
"Sideswipe you don't even know what he did.' Strongarm snapped. "What he did was unforgivable by the rules of the academy!"
"That's not what you said when they tossed me out and left me on the streets." Offroad said with a scowl. He jumped to his feet and kicked out his legs, nailing both Strongarm and Sideswipe in the sides of their heads. Both were sent onto the pavement as Offroad ran over and grabbed his axe. "But then again maybe you did and you just felt like kicking me while I was down."
Strongarm got up and ran toward Offroad who stepped to the side and as she ran past, took the butt of his axe and slammed it down into her backside. With a yelp Strongarm found herself hitting the pavement again.
Offroad let out a mocking laugh and began to run away, Strongarm jumped to her feet and shot her weapon toward him, the blasts pinged off of him as Offroad Transformed into his truck mode and with a roar of his engine drove off.
Strongarm began to run after him but Sideswipe grabbed her shoulder. "Whoa Strongarm, what's your deal with this guy?" He asked and Strongarm pulled away.
"He just attacked us, he is Cleary a Decepticon." She said, her optics shifting around as she looked for an escape. Sideswipe crossed his arms and arched an eyebrow. "Really; and I take it that you don't have a mysterious past with him?"
"Well I…uh…arrested him back on Cybertron!" Strongarm said with a nervous smile.
"Oh really," Sideswipe asked and then turned on his com. "Fixit its Sideswipe, do you know anything about a Decepticon named Offroad?" He asked and stared at Strongarm with a smirk. Within a few seconds the voice of Fixit was heard.
"Eh, no Sideswipe, there is no Offroad on the Alchimor records, however there is a Nile, Pile, FILE, on an academy drop out named Offroad."
Strongarms head snapped up. "Dropout: they called him a dropout?"
Sideswipe smirked once again before turning back into his com. "Is there anything else on that file Fixit?"
"Nine, Nin, No which is a bit odd to me, why do you want to know about this bot?"
"We were just attacked by a guy named Offroad, and Strongarm seems a bit-"Sideswipe began and Strongarm kicked him in the back and then turned on her com.
"Its fine Fixit, Sideswipe's just being Sideswipe." She said with a nervous laugh and then deactivated her com before turning to glare at Sideswipe.
"What's your problem?" Sideswipe asked as he got up and glared at Strongarm.
"Don't go around poking your manifolds where they don't belong!" She scolded and transformed. "Come on, we need to go catch that guy!" She said and began to drive off but Sideswipe crossed his arms.
"No." Sideswipe said with a glare and smirk.
Strongarm stopped and transformed again and turned toward Sideswipe, an angry look on her face. "Sideswipe we have to hunt down that con!"
"I don't think he's a con Strongarm."
"He attacked us!"
"He attacked you!" Sideswipe rebottled. "He said that he had a past with you, I'm not moving until I find out the details."
"What makes you think that I'll divulge that information?" Strongarm asked. "I can just as easily go on without you."
"And if I were to oh say, Call Bumblebee and tell him that you have information about a bot in interest and that you refuse to give that information up?"
Strongarm gasped at the threat and narrowed her optics. "I-I'm sure Bumblebee would understand the circumstances, if he knew them!"
"Yeah, and he might think that it's a revenge mission, and we know how he feels about those given his experiences during the war, he may deem it fit to pull you off this mission." Sideswipe said with a grin. Knowing that he had Strongarm beat.
Strongarm growled and then looked down. "Fine," She said when they heard the sound of a car engine revving. They looked from behind the cliff face to see an RV coming toward them. "But not here." She said and quickly transformed, Sideswipe followed as the two of them burned rubber before they could be spotted by humans.
"Alright, not here, but you're going to tell me who that guy is." Sideswipe said, disappointed that his plan had failed.
Miles and miles away, Offroads engine roared as he tore down the road ahead of him, his mission was still a priority, but thoughts of what he had just done filled his mind.
"I can't believe that she of all Autobots is here!" He groused as his mind went back, back to his days in the academy.
Flashback
The afternoon sun loomed over Cybertron, at the Cybertron academy a group of bots in vehicle mode raced around a race course to test the speeds of cadets. In the middle of the field was a scoreboard. On the board were four names, Offroad, Rook, Blackjack, and Groove. Offroadwas a cyan and green colored Autobot who pulled ahead as he looked at his time, he was the fastest with Rook managing to get behind him.
"I'm impressed that you got your speed up like that!" Offroad called out with a laugh, gently taunting his friend's bulky altmode
"You don't everything about me bro!" Rook taunted as he pushed ahead.
"I can't let you win!" Groove shouted but Offroad cut him off and pushed his engine to the max. As he pushed ahead Blackjack raced in from behind, but Offroad cut him off and roared across the finish line. The timer let out a buzz as they raced across. Offroad transformed and skidded to a stop.
He watched as the others pulled up behind him. "Beat you all again!" He mocked as Blackjack transformed with a grumble.
"Yeah but you still haven't got the best time." He said, pointing toward the screen which showed the scores for the top racing times, above them all was the name Smokescreen, Time: 2:50 Minutes, the time that no one had been able to beat. Beneath them were five other names, Offroads being in the third.
"Yeah, well I'll get up there eventually." Offroad said with a smirk.
"Yeah right, I heard that Smokescreen was a scout during the war with the Decepticons, those guys were the fastest." Groove said.
"I heard that he served under Optimus Prime." Rook said. "Lucky him...I never got to meet Optimus." He said with a hint of sadness in his voice. It was no secret Rook looked up to the great and legendary prime, but Offroad rolled his eyes.
"I'm going to beat that time someday, just you all watch."
"Well it won't be today." Groove said. "We've got a test to study for remember?"
"Oh slag your right!" Rook said. "Wait which one is this again?"
"The Magnus field test, "biggest test of the year." Offroad said giving air quotes. "Come on guys that test is still a day away!" He pointed back toward the track. "We can do another round before we have to look at the books."
The two bots seemed to hesitate but both shook their heads.
"Sorry Offroad, but I'd rather not take the chance." Groove said. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Same here, see you after the test." Rook said and both of them transformed and drove off. Offroad sniffed and turned toward Blackjack with a knowing smirk. "Well looks like it's just you and me."
Blackjack chuckled and then pulled out a few data pads and handed them to Offroad. "It took me a lot of effort to get these answers for us and the others."
"Think that they're catching on?" Offroad asked as he attached a device to the data pads and then they shot out a few beams of light into his optics, imputing the content of the pads into his processor. "You'd think that these eggheads here would like students taking interest in their boring classes."
"Yeah well they're starting to think we're getting too interested." Blackjack said with a huff. "We're going to need a patsy if we want to continue our "efforts to help our fellow students." He said mockingly.
Offroad rubbed his chin and then looked down and then back up with a smirk. "That femme, the one in class who always stays behind to make sure that she got everything right, Strongarm."
"Yeah what about her," Blackjack asked and then he stopped and looked at Offroad. "Her, you want to make her our patsy?" He said and then laughed. "She'd never go for it; she's a goody two shoes!"
"Who said that we have to tell her what we're doing?" Offroad asked with a smirk. Blackjack's optics went wide and he let out a laugh.
"I like the way you think Offroad we'll do it after the nest, and get those data pads to the others!" He said before transforming and driving off toward the barracks.
Offroad chuckled and he headed off in the other direction toward another set of barracks, making sure that no one saw him.
The decision he just made was one that in the future, he would regret for the rest of his life.
End Flashback
Offroad's engine roared as he came to a stop with a growl. He felt that he had put a decent distance between himself and Strongarm. A map appeared on his windshield, showing a location marked on it, a blip showing where he was showed that he wasn't too far away from it.
"Ah good, seems that I'm closer now." He said as he pulled away and into a busy intersection several cars honked their horns and slammed on their brakes as he drove past. Offroad didn't take any notice; as far as he was concerned humans were parasites.
Why Steeljaw wanted their tech was beyond him, but a job was a job and he needed to do it.
