Prompt: 5. Mushroom Cloud
March 16, 2013
Wheeljack was not allowed to experiment in Autobot City. After that first bright flash and mushroom cloud inside the city bounds, he had been told that he wasn't to do any sort of anything that could result in any type of explosion in any way anywhere inside the city.
The city had been built to hold up under attack. Wheeljack's explosions put that shielding to the test, and no one wanted to compromise their defenses. So they built him an underground bunker a mile out from the city.
Unfortunately for a particular Decepticon spy and cassette, the fact that this tunnel led to the dreaded Wheeljack's lab wasn't known. All Ravage knew was that there was some sort of lab down there, with its own ventilation system and heavy blast doors.
Seemingly robbed of his common sense for the day, he started down the tunnel, thinking of super-weapons and big guns.
Wheeljack stiffened when he heard something click behind him, but didn't stop in his movements. Ravage. Frag. He knew the Decepticons spies often frequented the labs – the Autobot scientists often did have lots of valuable things.
With a wicked grin, hidden by his blast-mask, Wheeljack's movements shifted slightly, his hands deftly connecting things that would...
Well, would make this particular device do what Wheeljack did best.
Ravage watched from his shadowed spot on the rafters, trying to decide if the... thing... in Wheeljack's hands was some sort of weapon he could steal and bring back to Megatron.
It certainly looked like it could be-
BOOOOOOOOOM!
Back in Autobot City, everyone sighed as smoke rolled out of the ground, released through the heavy-duty vents that cycled clean air into Wheeljack's lab and the fiery, smokey air out.
Inside the lab, Wheeljack grinned as he stared at the smoking feline.
