Transformers Prime: A New Adventure.
Chapter 31: Fortressimus Prime's Night Out.
In the Autobot base, Fortressimus was helping the kids, his Constructobots, Optimus' Constructobots, and the medics finish setting up the new walk-in kitchen for the humans that spend time here.
After they finish, Fortressimus states, "Well, that is that."
Ratchet replies, "Indeed. Now we don't have to worry about buying groceries or buying anything humans use in their kitchens."
Fortressimus nods before walking over to the tunnel and transforming to vehicle mode. Then he proceeds to drive out of the base.
Ratchet notices and questions, "Why did Fortressimus insist on this night out?"
Optimus answers, "Fortressimus insisted on this night out to clear his thoughts, old friend. For what, he would not say, but I could tell thanks to the connection of our Matrices that it was a personal matter."
Ratchet hums in response to that.
On the road leading to another section of the Nevada Desert, Fortressimus' radio was playing Bailee Sagger's Energizing Renewal.
Even with his solidified holoform active, Fortressimus was mentally singing along, as he knew the alien-obsessed hobbit was somewhere in this world's past and future as shown in Robots in Disguise 2015, and he won't rest until he uncovers aliens to the public regardless of whether or not he knows of the potential consequences that could happen if he did that.
Nevertheless, he managed to discreetly find the hobbit, and with a simple silenced sniper bullet to the heart and to the head from 2 miles away, the hobbit never knew what hit him.
But on the way back, Fortressimus spied a Decepticon drone mining for something just off the road of where he was coming from.
Fortressimus stealthily stalks the drone and sees him uncovering what appears to be a Predacon clavicle.
Fortressimus quickly bisects the Decepticon drone before taking the Predacon clavicle.
Fortressimus then says into his commlink on a secure Autobot channel he invented that Soundwave can't intercept or hack into, "Fortressimus to Autobot Headquarters, I got two items ready for pickup."
Ratchet questions, "What? Two items for pickup? What items?"
Fortressimus answers, "A Decepticon drone's corpse and a Predacon clavicle bone."
Ratchet went silent before the Autobot Ground Bridge opened.
Fortressimus is accompanied by Bumblebee and Cliffjumper as they haul the halved pieces of the drone's corpse.
Ratchet gawks at the Predacon clavicle bone that Fortressimus holds.
Fortressimus says, "With every Predacon bone we uncover and retrieve, we decrease the chances of Hub End forming a new army of Predacons for Megatron, but be warned: if the Decepticons find out that I gave the base computers the frequencies of the microchips, they won't hesitate to recover even one chip off of the bones to clone Predacon clones. And be advised: with the bones we recover, we can easily use one chip off of the bones to clone duplicate clones to increase our Predacon forces."
Everyone muttered their understandings before Fortressimus gives Currentracer the clavicle bone and he says, "Currentracer, head to your off-site laboratory, and prepare the cloning procedures, but remember: every one small chip off the bones should be used to create duplicate clones."
Currentracer replies, "Yes sir."
Currentracer is Ground Bridged to his off-site laboratory, which is in an abandoned Energon mine in the Empire Mine from the Sierra Nevada mountains in Grass Valley, California.
Fortressimus then reveals a replicated clavicle bone he replicated using the Predacon Bone Multiplier Machine he used as a shapeshifting machine that can also take the form of a handheld blaster to accommodate more room in the base and to conserve Energon, much to everyone's surprise.
And if that didn't shock everyone enough, Fortressimus and his troops also revealed over 11,440 replicated Predacon fossils in this order: spinal struts, vertebrae bones, ribcages, sternums, cheek bones, humerus', shoulder joints, secondary front claws, primary front claws, full clawed pedes, femurs, kneecaps, fibulas, heel bones, primary and secondary rear claws, talus', full pedes, tibias, distal phalanges, intermediate phalanges, proximal phalanges, metatarsals, cuboid bones, lateral cuneiform bones, medial cuneiform bones, intermediate cuneiform bones, navicular bones, hip bones, metacarpals, hamate bones, capitate bones, trapezoid bones, trapeziums, pisiform bones, triquetral bones, lunate bones, scaphoid bones, radius', ulnas, scapulas, audio receptors, mandibles, hyoid bones, vomers, palatine bones, lacrimal bones, skulls, optics, jaw bones, dental plates, nasal bones, and spark casings.
Ratchet takes the Cybertronian-sized duffel bag and says, "Why, there's just enough C.N.A. in these Predacon bones to create full clones and full duplicate clones!"
Optimus replies, "Indeed there is."
Of course, the Autobots never heard about the mysterious sniper killing an alien-obsessed hermit... Fortressimus made sure of that as he covered his tracks EXTREMELY proficiently.
The End.
