Sorry if there are mistakes in this chapter, but I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open not to mention that I have a terrible headache.

The atmosphere at the Autobot base was chaotic. And how could it not? The Autobot leader had just given the order to prepare for the battle; loud chatter echoed throughout the large room as the remaining Autobots talked with each other, waiting for their leader to come.

"I'm telling you Prime is out of his circuits. He will offline us all," Crosshairs carefully, whispered to Hound so that the certain weapon specialist would not hear him.

"Maybe," Hound started calmly, twirling his cigar between his fingers for a moment before lighting it, and bringing it to his mouth plate inhaling deeply. "But, he is our leader and a Prime and you never question the orders given by a Prime," he said, calmly as a puff of white smoke came out of his mouth plate.

Crosshairs frowned,clearly annoyed with Hound's statement.

"So what? Just because he is a Prime we must blindly obey him?"

"Yes, if we want to stay online."

"This is madness!" Crosshairs shouted, making the other Autobots turn their helms toward them. He gave them a slight smile, before he continued in a low voice. "I refuse to participate in this suicide mission. if Prime has a death wish I do not. From now on is every mech for himself. I'm leaving" and with that he began to walk towards the exit

"Yeah, yeah, just don't let the door hit you on the way out" Hound said, waving his servo at him. "You big sparkling."

"What did you say to me?" Crosshairs said, as he stopped walking and turned his helm toward Hound giving him a dirty look.

"You know… " Hound started, "The last Cybertronian who looked at me like that…well, let's just say it didn't end pretty," he said, as he pulled one of his grenades from his belt and began tossing it up and down nonchalantly not taking his optics off Crosshairs.

Suddenly the chatter ceased; Hound and Crosshairs turned their helms as the door of the meeting room slowly opened and the leader of the Autobots entered in, followed by Major Lennox and Sergeant Epps. The Autobot leader walked past his comrades, and stopped at the head of the room.

"My fellow Autobots…." he addressed them. "As you already know tonight we are going to attack Lockdown's ship. I will not lie to you; some of you will not return from this fight, so anyone who wishes to leave they have my permission."

The Autobots looked at each other, but no one moved.

"Now's your chance," Hound whispered to Crosshairs, nudging him with his elbow. "You have Primes permission."

"Shut up," Crosshairs muttered.

"I know these couples of months were hard on everyone; we lost Ratchet, but we have to keep fighting if we want to survive. The human government wants us all offlined, this is not war this is extinction. Major Lennox if you please," Optimus said moving aside.

"Thank you Prime," the man said, as he walked up to him he turned to the Autobots. He cleared his throat before he spoke. "We found out from a well informed source that the Cemetery wind is planning to kill all humans who were in contact with you in order to lure you out."

The last sentence provoked a volley of insults against the human race.

Major Lennox waited a few minutes, until the voices died down before he continued.

"I already sent my man to bring the Witwicky and the Yeager family here; they will arrive in two hours. As for the attack, Optimus and I discussed and we both agreed it would be for the best if we split into teams."

"Sensei if I may ask, why would we do that?" Drift asked confused. "We are stronger if we stay together."

"Because…" Optimus said, as he stepped forward. "We are also going to attack the Cemetery Wind and KSI headquarters. I will lead the Dinobots on Lockdown's ship." The Autobot leader said, before turning towards his weapon specialist. " Ironhide; you, Bumblebee, Jazz and Drift will go with Major Lennox and provide them backup as they attack the KSI headquarters."

"Understood Prime," Ironhide replied.

Optimus nodded before he continued.

"The rest of you will attack the Cemetery Wind headquarters. Let's show them what we are made of! AUTOBTS ROLL OUT!"
