Transformers Prime: A New Adventure.

Chapter 17: Difficulties of being inside a cartoon.

(Quadwal cluster Earth 28374659201, January 29th, 2024, first person POV...)

I'm Anatole Austerbye.

Currently, I'm 19 years old and awaiting contact from the military college I was applying to with my own money. But in the meantime, I got into the entire Transformers franchise ever since my high school graduation 6 months ago, from the comic books to the live action movies to the Legacy Trilogy.

Now, granted, I'm not interested in buying any of the toys for a lifelong collection that could cost millions of dollars, but that's not the only way to enjoy the Transformers franchise.

Why, there's watching the shows and movies, reading the novels, comic books, and fanfictions, and attending Transformers-related and themed conventions with the right amount of timing and money from my jobs.

And I do occasionally buy the toys, BUT I only buy the toys to donate to charity.

After all, not only do terminally ill children want these toys, but there's also other kinds of children and other Transformers fans who want the toys, either due to them being one of a kind or due to them being extremely hard to find among other reasons.

At the same time, I also sell any Transformers toys I have not just to pay my bills and afford groceries and clothing, but also to send to my relatives for their birthdays, for Christmas, for Mother's Day, for Father's Day, and for Grandparents' Day.

Yes, I'm just that generous.

Anyway, right now, I was watching the film Transformers Rise of the Beasts in my apartment.

I was interested in seeing the film, if only because this was the first time in all actual Transformers media that the Autobots and the Maximals came together to join forces against common enemies, and in this case, the common enemies were Unicron, the Predacons, and the Terrorcons. Despite the fact that the only kind of mass-produced Predacon in the film was Scorponok.

But as the end credits were rolling, I began to feel drowsy.

Seeing the time approaching 10 p.m., I turned off the TV, brushed my teeth, showered, got into some comfortable PJs, and went to bed. But unknown to me, I was going to end up joining forces with the Autobots and Maximals too, but not in the way one like myself would've expected.

(Realm of the Primes, third person POV...)

Anatole woke up disoriented with a groan.

Anatole looks around in alarm as he asks, "Where am I?! Wait. Is this the Realm of the Primes?"

A voice replies, "That is correct, young Anatole."

Anatole turns around to see Prima Prime, Alpha Trion, Megatronus Prime, Liege Maximo, Sentinel Zeta Prime, Micronus Prime, Nexus Prime, Onyx Prime, Alchemist Prime, Amalgamous Prime, Adaptus Prime, Epistemus Prime, Autonomous Maximus, Logos Prime, Mortilus Prime, Quintus Prime, Solomus Prime, Solus Prime, Vector Prime, Amazon Prime, Big Bang Prime, Dai Atlas, Fire Prime, Magnus Prime, Go Prime, Guardian Major, Guardian Prime, Leo Prime, Mach Five Racing Prime, Modus Prime, Nominus Prime, Nova Prime, Override Prime, Primal Prime, Prime Nova, Primon, Red Sentinel Prime, Regulus Prime, Sentinel Prime, Septimus Prime, Star Saber, Ultra Prime, VX-Prime, Zeta Prime, Big Convoy, Black Big Convoy, Blue Big Convoy, Green Tender Convoy, White Gallant Convoy, and Sentinel Magnus.

Anatole's jaw drops as he remarks in shock and awe, "Whoa... Almost all of the greatest Autobot and Maximal leaders and Matrix bearers in existence. It's a true honor."

Solus Prime replies, "Nice to know you think so."

The leaders stand aside as Primus in his spiritual smaller form appears.

Primus asks, "Anatole, how would you like to help your favorite Autobot heroes in the Transformers Prime universe by being prepared for the Darkness Rising Part 1 episode?"

Anatole replies giddily, "Ooh, I'd love to!"

Primus waves his hand, and in a flash of light, Anatole is turned into a Star Seeker/Aerialbot-esque Transformer armed with an Energon Battle Pistol, an Energon Sword similar to the Sword of Fury, twin Energon daggers, twin Energon wrist blades, an EMP Shotgun, an Energon Repair Ray, an Ion Blaster, an Ion Displacer, a Magma Frag Launcher, a Neutron Assault Rifle, a Nucleon Shock Cannon, a Null Ray Sniper Rifle, an assortment of self-replicating and self-regenerating Overshields, a Path Blaster, a Photon Burst Rifle, a Plasma Cannon, a Scatter Blaster, a Thermo Rocket Launcher, an X12 Scrapmaker Machine Gun, an Energon Spear, an Energon Mace, an Energon Hammer, an Energon Club, an Energon Axe, an assortment of self-replicating and self-regenerating C.L.U.T.C.H. Battle Drones, an assortment of self-replicating and self-regenerating EMP Grenades, an assortment of self-replicating and self-regenerating Energon Grenades, an assortment of self-replicating and self-regenerating Frag Grenades, a Fusion Cannon, an assortment of self-replicating and self-regenerating Photon Missiles, and an assortment of self-replicating and self-regenerating Thermo Mines.

Primus says, "Good luck, Crashwave."

Primus and the Leaders' sparks glow as they open a portal to the Transformers Prime universe.

(Current Transformers Prime universe, third person POV...)

After being brought to the Autobot base, Crashwave then asks, "Did everything so far go according to plan?"

Optimus answers, "If you are referring to our success in getting lots of reinforcements, gaining all of the Predacon clone fossils, gaining all of the Iacon relics and Decepticon weapons, gaining upgrades and new armor, weapons and so forth for our forces, gaining the chunk of Red Energon, and using the Forge of Solus Prime to invent Hyperevolution Chambers for Project Shadow Clonecon, Iron Man suits for any future human agents of Unit E that would be recruited to work with the Autobots, Energon Converter machines to convert any form of organic matter from plant and animal-based foods of Earth into Energon cubes, Protoform Replenisher machines to create more and more and more protoforms based on the appearances of different types of Grounder, Seeker, Triple Changer, Predacon, Vehicon, etc. protoforms that would be found in the Harbinger and many other Harbinger ship lookalikes, a Reverse Transmutator machine to safely turn any human who was turned into a Cybertronian by Megatron or by MECH back into a human as well as safely do the opposite if the human wishes to continue living as a Cybertronian, a Techno-Organic Normalizer machine to turn any techno-organics back into full humans as well as reverse the process if so desired, a Predacon Bone Multiplier machine to multiply Predacon fossils through duplication/multiplication cloning, a Food-A-Thinker machine for the human members of Team Prime/the Beast Hunters, a Fresh Pure Spring Water maker machine for the human members of Team Prime/the Beast Hunters that creates out of nothingness adequate amounts of pure spring water like the kind that can be found in cliffs and valleys on Earth, an Energon Repair Chamber for repairing any varying amounts of frame damage, a Body Part Regeneration machine for regenerating severed body parts on humans, techno-organics, and full Cybertronians, a Weapon And Tool Making 3-D Printer like the kind from Watch Dogs 2 for humans and Cybertronians and techno-organics that can craft human weapons, Cybertronian weapons, human versions of Cybertronian weapons, vice versa, and any form of equipment and tools that the new Autobot army would need, a Dead Cybertronian Divine Resuscitation machine to revive dead Cybertronians in terms of Autobots, Decepticons, Neutrals, Maximals, and Predacons along with any Cybertronians previously resurrected by mechanical zombification at the hands of humans and/or by Dark Energon along with repairing all forms of non-fatal and fatal damages all in the divinity sense by using the power of the Allspark, the Forge of Solus Prime, Primus, the Matrices of Leadership that includes the Tyran Cluster Matrix of Leadership, the Allspark Cube, and the power of the Thirteen original Primes, an Energon Generation Machine that creates Energon out of nothingness, an assortment of cloning machines, the Combiner Maker Machine, Dominator Disks, Energon Infusers, Energon Transfer Machines, Detection Plates, Decepticon Detectors, Matter Duplicators, Micro-Bugs, Psycho-Probes, Remote Control Circuit Linkers, Submission Field Generators, Tractor Beams, Transmat Reduction Beams, Attitude Exchangers, a Continuum Transmorpher Machine, Energon Chain Machines, Energon Net Machines, Guardian Beacons, Invisibility Devices, Magno-Locks, Personality Stabilizer Devices, Quantum Dials, Reality Beacons, Reality Bridges, Recharging Chambers, Refraction Shields, Reverse-Pretender Machines, Energon Detectors, and a Red Energon Multiplicator machine to multiply Red Energon chunks via duplication and multiplication cloning, then yes, everything so far has indeed gone according to plan."

And that was the day Crashwave realized that this was one of the difficulties of being in your favorite cartoon: if you were transported from your world to the beginning of the show in question and if you weren't the first to be transported in said cartoon at the beginning, it's difficult to share important pieces of foreknowledge with your favorite superheroes such as the Autobots, Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, etc.

And for once, someone like Crashwave didn't mind at all. For now.

The End.
