Slam and Paddles turned the corner and saw the two dinobots Slam transformed into robot mode as he stared at the two Dinobots in slight surprise "Hey you must be a part of Grimlock's team the Dinobots."he said.

"Yeah,who are you guys?"Slug asked looking at the three new Dinobots "I'm Slash this is Slam and Paddles,we were captured by Shockwave and given new forms."Slash said as she transformed to Velociraptor mode then back surprising Slug and Snarl who looked at each other and back at Slash, "thanks for tearing this place up,Shockwave had plans for us,he was going to turn us into mind controled super soldiers,But thanks to you guys that's not going to happen."Paddles said proudly and gratefully that they were not going to be used as weapons for the Decepticons.

"Since you guys are here maybe you can help us, we're looking for another Autobot they captured named Scorn,he's here somewhere,can you guys lend us a hand in finding him before the cons do?"Slash asked Snarl and Slug looked at each other after absorbing what they were telling them and they were conflicted,on one hand these were fellow Autobots that were captured and put through the same nightmare as they did by Shockwave,so Snarl and Slug felt like it was now their duty to help them through this unfortunate chapter in their lives.

On the other hand, what if they were already under Shockwave's control and they were leading them into an ambush, Deception is in the Decepticon name, Slug was about to radio Grimlock and tell him about the three new Dinobots until their was a massively loud boom followed by a roar that shook the entire hallways,this was also followed by distant blasterfire and yelling and screams that quickly cut off.

"What was that?"Slam asked in confusion and slight fear "Was that Grimlock?"Snarl asked Slug shook his head as he had heard Grimlock's dino roar before and this wasn't it "No,it sounded bigger."Slug said "It's probably Scorn,it came from that way,come on!"Slash said running down the hall with Slam, Paddles,Slug and Snarl following her.

Meanwhile

The sound of the mysterious mighty roar reached the audio receptors of Grimlock,Swoop and Sludge, "What was that,Predacon?"Swoop asked wondering id Shockwave has a predacon in the building "Good Primus,i hope not."Sludge said as he was still aching from the battle with Emberblaze. "It came from that way!"Grimlock said as he and the others ran further down the hallway but then they stopped as Shockwave turned the corner, rage built up in Grimlock as he growled "Shockwave!" without saying anything Shockwave raised his blaster arm and fired at the three dinobots but luckily Grimlock held his shield up blocking the attacks as Sludge and Swoop hid behind him.

"I got him."Swoop said as he quickly transformed into Pteranodon mode and took off flying above Grimlock and Sludge and dashing towards Shockwave who fired on Swoop but the Dinobot was to fast dodging each blast until he got close enough to Shockwave he grabbed Shockwave by the shoulders with his talons and lifted him up into the air. Then he flew back towards Grimlock and Sludge, swoop slammed Shockwave into the wall dragging him against it, before he dropped him to ground hard causing him to bounce a few times before stopping in front of Grimlock and Sludge who loomed over him scowling with seething hatred "Payback time Shockwave."Grimlock growled as he kicked Shockwave into a wall nearby making a small crater in it Sludge stomped over to him and grabbed him by his head "come here you piece of scrap."He hiss as he lifted him up and threw him up to the ceiling making him slam into it hard as he fell and hit the ground some pieces of the ceiling fell around him.

Swoop stomped over to Shockwave and grabbed him by his wing "Stand up, we're not done!"Swoop roared as he aggressively lifted Shockwave up to his feet,just the Shockwave quickly jerked back and aimed his blaster towards Swoop's face but before he could fire Swoop sidestep and grabbed the blaster before pulling out his sword and sliced off Shockwave's blaster arm, now he is disarmed of his weapon, sparks and energon emanated from the nub, Shockwave looked at his now missing arm and looked back at swoop who proceeded to sock Shockwave directly in the face with enough force to send him stumbling towards Grimlock who decked him so hard Shockwave fell to the floor now the three Dinobots proceeded to kick him while he was down as well as delivering a few punches as well, this was no longer a beat down or punishment this was an execution.

The Dinobots stopped as they looked at Shockwave who was laying on the ground with his arm missing and with big dents pounded into him,any other person would've felt sorry for Shockwave because no one deserves the beating the dinobots gave him, unfortunately there's no other person there to pity Shockwave not that he would've cared. Grimlock grabbed Shockwave by his throat and lifted him up before slamming him against the wall and growling at him with his eyes glowing red with hate for the Decepticon scientist, "I don't know how you survived,me throwing you off that tower, but i don't give a slag,you should've went offline because now we are going to tear you apart and melt the pieces."Grimlock said with venom seeping through his vocal processors.

Shockwave stared at the three Dinobots through his cracked single eye, then he glanced around at the devastation they caused to his laboratory it almost made Shockwave laugh "Just as powerful as I made you and your team Grimlock, you make your creator proud, quite a shame I'll never get to see how the others stack up against you."

Grimlock's sword materialized inhis hand as he got ready to impale Shockwave through his spark "Shut you one eyed..." but before he could do anything Swoop stopped him "Wait Grimlock, what do you mean others?"he asked curiously and aggressively "You five weren't the only ones I had planned, i had four more specimens at the ready when you proved to be successful."Shockwave explained The three Dinobots knew what those specimens where they saw logs of them back at his old lab.

"Such a shame all those weeks of work, capturing autobot test subjects and molding them into the perfect counter to you,down in flames."Shockwave said sounding genuinely upset "Autobot test subjects,you experimented on more autobots,Who are they are where are they?!"Sludge asked furious Shockwave experimented on more autobots "I'm afraid it's too late to save them,when you attacked i gave the order to terminate the test subjects,they are mostly likely one with the allspark by now,my deepest condolences."Shockwave said mockily which made the three dinobots all the more furious.
