The chaos of the mall stopped suddenly. All tiny heads turned to the sound of a mass of metal slamming against the floor. Many a BotBot looked to see a red and blue bodied BotBot leading an army. Whispers spread across the mall as the army of Bots walked in. The leader looked around, Astonished by the many Bots of all shapes and sizes. A yellow BotBot whispered something to the leader, and he sighed before clearing his throat. "Hello fellow BotBots. I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. We mean no harm, and only wish to coexist with you in peace." He said, bowing, causing those behind him to follow suit. No one would take the initiative to greet the new bots. Bot because they were shy, but because they had never known that there were bots in the daycare. Not except for one. Spud Muffin walked over to Optimus and spoke.

"I for one, welcome you, since no one else will, to the mall. Now, we have a few things to talk about..." Optimus listened intently to the ramblings of the BotBot standing in front of him as the other BotBots went back to partying, and the rest of the Autobots slowly dispersed, leaving only him, and Elita with the french fry bot.

"Oh, and one rule, the most sacred rule." The bot continued, getting serious. "Do not, EVER, reveal yourself to the flesh beings. We can never let them know we exist. It endangers our whole way of life, brah!" Prime and Elita nodded.

"I understand, although, young bot, I must say that this "mall", is quite... chaotic."

"Uh, duh!!! That's how we BotBots roll OP!" Optimus raised an eyebrow at the "younger" BotBot's use of a... Nickname?

"Anyways, I gotta get going, I'll see ya around alright? Alright." Spud Muffin says before walking off to join his compatriots, leaving to the Autobot leader, and his conjunx, confused.

"OP...?"

"I must say, it suits you just a bit more than Prime."

Optimus nodded as he looked around, watching the Autobots have fun with their new friends. And under his faceplate, Prime smiled, he knew that the Autobots had reached utopia.

The Daycare, The Mall

Multiple tiny vehicles drive into the Daycare, exhausted from a night of partying. They all drive into an exceptionally large, orange base, and transform. The first to transform is a white car, he becomes a robot named Jazz, next, is the blue and white F1 racer, Mirage, then a pink motorcycle becomes Arcee, a swamp green Garbage truck becomes Bulkhead, an ambulance becomes the Autobot medic, Ratchet, and then come Bumblebee, Elita-1, and Optimus Prime. "Whoo!!! That was off the chain!!" Bumblebee shouts.

"I must admit, after so many years of war... I needed that." Ratchet agrees.

"Can't wait to do it again!! These Bots sure know how to Party!!!" Jazz remarks.

"That's enough, Autobots. Though we have found a home here, in this mall, we must remain vigilant. I may have thought the war was over, but now... I have the slightest suspicion that we aren't out of the woods." Optimus says. The Autobots salute, and walk away. Elita turns to her conjunx, and nods as a way of saying "You're doing great", and walked away. Optimus looked up to a shelf, and saw a red Microscope. The microscope transforms, and narrows his eyes.

"I hope you know what you're doing." He says in his automated voice, mouth not moving an inch.

"It is true, I have my worries. But for now, I can only hope they are unfounded, Perceptor." Optimus replies to the Autobot scientist. Perceptor nods, and transforms.

A nearby purple structure, Daycare.

"I can only hope they are unfounded, Perceptor." A blue and silver mini tape record repeats, before transforming. The silver speaker lower half becomes lower legs, the top section splits in half, and sprouts arms on each half, and a head pops out. The blue helm has a silver faceplate, and a red visor in place of eyes. "Laserbeak, Return." The new bot says, and a red and black bird transforms into a mini cassette, before flying into the open chassis of the bot.

"Good, Soundwave. Optimus Prime feels that he and his Autobots are... unsafe, in this new environment? Well, who are we to prove him wrong? Yes..."

The Mall.Closing time, The next day.

The time had come once again for the mall to close. And everyone knew what that meant. Multiple objects sprang to life, and all of the BotBots hung out in their respective stores. But, this time, a particular group of bots had a plan. In the Lost and Found, we find ourselves, once again, with the Lost Bots. You remember them, right? They awaken, just as any other BotBot, and jump out of their cubbies, and walk out into the mall. Only to be startled when a toy car stops in front of them. The car transforms, revealing "Jazz!!!"

"Hey Lost Bots!!! Sorry for startling ya."

"Startling us? Psssh, please. You didn't startle us!!" Burgertron says, attempting to act tough.

"You startled everyone here. Well, except for me, I'm not weak." Bonz-Eye proclaims.

"O...k. Well, anyway, what brings ya'll out here?" Jazz inquires.

"Nothin. You?" Dimlit answers.

"Me? Well, I was just going for a drive, tryin' to get a handle of the new environment. I would've invited one the other Autobots, but they're in the Daycare, doin' their own thing."

"That's nice. Hey!! You wanna join us?" Burgertron asks. Before Jazz even gets the chance to answer, an obnoxious laugh cuts through the air. The group turn, and see the Hunger Hubs, and their (recently inducted) leader, Spud Muffin. All of them woth a condescending smirk on their face.

"Trust me Jazz. You don't wanna hang out with those weirdos."

Jazz raises an eyebrow under his visor. "What? Why not?"

"Because they broke the sacred rule of the mall! They no revealed themselves to flesh beings!!"

Jazz sighs. "So? Look, I don't know your philosophy, here in this "mall". But we Autobots have capacity to do something called "forgiving". Try it sometime. Oh, and another thing-" But before he could finish, a very familiar voice clears his throat.

"Mechs and Femmes of the mall... Hail Megatron."

Jazz looks on in sheer horror as he sees a particular silver BotBot standing on top of a fountain, laughing manically.

Autobot base, Daycare

Optimus Prime was doing, well, nothing actually. He was just... sitting, in his chair. He had nothing to do. Bumblebee was racing Sideswipe, Mirage had turned it down, (Ironic as it is), and had went to train his spy abilities, Perceptor was working on something with Wheeljack and Ratchet, Arcee and Bulkhead were goofing off somewhere, and Elita had decided to take a walk. Optimus had already been informed of Jazz's decision to survey the new environment, and had Ok'd it. But him? The, admittedly, lonesome Prime sat in his chair. And then, Teletraan 1 flashed to life. Teletraan, the mighty Autobot computer, had a message. "Play it." Optimus commanded the computer.

"Prime!!! We got a situation!!!" Jazz said on the monitor.

Prime's eyebrow raised.

"Turns out good ol' Bucket Head isn't as gone as we thought!"

Bucket Head? Oh no.

An Autobot strike force consisting of Prime, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Bulkhead, and Arcee managed to reconvene with Jazz near the Lost and Found. "Jazz, has everyone been evacuated?" Prime asked.

"The best I could do was tell everyone to haul aft, and they just took right off! It was out of my servos from there."

"You did the right thing. Now, we must handle the Decepticons." Prime reaffirmed. A short black pole shoots from his back, and Orange axe blades made of Energon sprout from the top. Prime takes the axe in hand a points it toward a still laughing Megatron.

"MEGATRON!!!!"

Megatron slowly turns his optics to face the Autobot leader. "This ends now." Prime says.

"A bold statement..." Megatron starts. "Though, it may have some truth to it... Yes..." Megatron laughs before pointing his giant, black, arm-mounted Cannon toward Prime, and firing, only for Prime to quickly dodge, transform, and dash toward the fountain, narrowly avoiding blast after blast.

"Prime needs us!!! let's get going!!" Jazz commands. But, as soon as the Autobots start toward the fountain to help their leader, a barrage of lasers stops them from continuing.

"You, are not going anywhere." A large, silver Jet-like Drone said as it landed. It proceeds to transform into a bot with a black helm, a yellow cockpit in-between a red chassis, blue rocket boosters in place of feet, blue forearms and servos, and a pair of white wings with a purple, menacing symbol. Starscream. Second in command of Megatron, and leader of the seekers. He points his two arm mounted lasers at the bots before speaking.

"I've been waiting for the day I could fight you all myself!! And prove myself to Megatron!!!"

"All you're gonna end up proving is how fragile your frame is!!! Go and help Prime, I think it's time that someone went in for an ego check." Bulkhead proclaims before rushing at Starscream, a mace in place of his hand. Jazz turns to the remaining Autobots and speaks.

"Alright, Arcee, Sideswipe, you're on damage control. Bee, we're helpin' Prime." The Autobots nod, and split into their groups. Meanwhile with Prime, he's starting to struggle a bit against Megatron. His stamina is starting to waver as he blocks and counters punch after punch from the Decepticon leader. Finally, Megatron weakens Prime enough to put him on his knees. He kicks the Prime in his stomach, causing him to keel over on all fours, allowing Megatron to stomp on his head.

"Finally. After so long... Yes... The war... ends TODAY!!!"

Suddenly, Megatron feels a pede hit his face, sending him falling into the water. Bumblebee lands, and Jazz follows suit. The 2 Autobots help their leader to his own pedes. "I thank you for your assistance." He thanks his scout and second-in-command.

"It was nothin' Prime." Bumblebee says. But then, the 3 Autobots hear a low grumble. Megatron climbs out of the water, and looks around. His optics land on Optimus, and he growls at the last Prime. Meanwhile with Bulkhead, he's having trouble as well. Starscream has chosen to take the fight to the air. He barrages Bulkhead with his Null Rays, but doesn't seem to hit the large target (despite the fact that he's, you know, a large target).

"Hold still you wretched ball of scrap metal!!!" He growls out. "Forget this!!!" Starscream launches toward Bulkhead, grabbing the bigger BotBot in a stranglehold, and tackling him to the ground, before punching his face over and over, before Bulkhead's hand grabs his fist, and the bigger bot returns the favor for those punches, before tossing him into a wall. Starscream gets up, and is about to attack again, but hears his leader shout.

"DECEPTICONS!!!! RETREAT!!!!"

Starscream grumbles. "Next time, Autobot Pede-slag." And he transforms before flying away, following his leader.
