Transformers Prime: A New Adventure.
Chapter 9: Meet Hot Maximus.
Around Jupiter, an Autobot ship called the Saber Caster was flying towards the Earth.
And this ship's cargo was consisted of Hot Maximus, Takebat, Takeswipe, Weirdshaker, Sky Maximus, Hyper Hauler, Redcross, Grand Supreme, Beastwipe, Dragrunner, Astrospray, Rough Daddy, Chop Strip, Birdmine, and Sanddance.
They were part of an Autobot strike force known as the Advanced Beta Team, one of the most dangerous strike teams because of Grand Supreme having more firepower and more durable armor than Devastator, Legionnaire, Menasor, Punisher, Bruticus, Superion, Abominus, Defensor, Ruination and all members of the Wreckers across the multiverse, Metroplex, Omega Supreme before and after becoming the Ark, and Trypticon before and after becoming the Nemesis put together.
And accompanying this strike force was an army of 100 million Autobots, 5 million of them being Grounders, 5 million of them being Fliers, 15 million of them respectively being Triple Changers, Quad Changers, and Six Changers, 5 million of them being Omnicons, 5 million of them being Maximals, 5 million of them being Predacons, and 20 million of them being Vehicons of different modern vehicle types up to 5,000 at a time.
But of course, since Sanddance looked like a mixture of Astrotrain, Sandstorm, and Megatron in his original frame, he also transported up to another one hundred and forty-two million Autobots based on the designs of the generic and named Autobot and Decepticon subgroups from both the Aligned continuity and the Dark of the Moon console video game.
Sanddance was not only capable of defending himself and his passengers, but he was also capable of carrying much larger numbers of soldiers no matter how big he makes himself become for accommodation of space.
Suddenly, an Autobot transmission appears on the screen, and Hot Maximus plays it, revealing it to be the same message Optimus Prime sent out to all Autobot forces 5 years ago on the day Arcee, Tailgate, and Cliffjumper escaped from Hub End's laboratory on Cybertron.
Optimus says, "This is Optimus Prime. To all Autobots who hear this frequency and message, even though Cybertron has fallen, we still stand I request that you join me in a remote corner of the galaxy, on a small planet rich with Energon. I have reason to believe that this world will soon become a new target of Decepticon conquest. Our team is small to medium, but strong. Follow these coordinates to join us so that we may better plan our resistance. Priority Prime. All of you have a safe journey."
Chop Strip states, "The coordinates indicate that the planet in question is the third planet orbiting the yellow sun."
Hot Maximus replies, "And we shall go there. Proceed with all due available speed."
The ship flies at a controlled form of maximum speed.
In the Autobot base, Lavender Coldfire is training in the SAFE when Ratchet says over the P.A., "Attention, all available Autobots! We've detected an Autobot ship inside the solar system on its way to Earth! Assemble in the command center at once!"
All the available Autobots in the base with about 3,000 exceptions assemble in the command center.
Optimus asks, "Ratchet, any predictions where this Autobot ship will land?"
Ratchet answers while looking at the screen, "It appears that the ship will land one hundred yards away from a lighthouse in the Outer Banks of North Carolina."
After rendezvousing with the Saber Caster's crew, even Optimus was surprised to see yet another one of his valued lieutenants and strike team leaders alive and on Earth.
Optimus remarks, "Hot Maximus, welcome to Earth."
Optimus and Hot Maximus shake servos.
The Autobot team is taken to base by their comrades.
And after introductions, Fortressimus remarks, "And it looks like our forces have just gotten bigger in numbers."
Ratchet replies, "Indeed. If only several more can be accompanied with the Energon and tools we need."
Fortressimus nods before going to see the Forge is up to 94% recharged.
Fortressimus remarks, "Won't be long now."
The End.
(Author's notes: Won't be long now, viewers. Won't be long before this story gets right back onto its normal chapter track and number of chapters aboard. Until then, try being even more patient, and be ready for any more updates. See you all in chapter 10: Safe Landings.)
