As the Dinobots were leaving they didn't notice or hear a pile of debris moving and shifting yards from them and the person rising from the debris was a badly damaged Shockwave. Energon leaked from the stump from where his arm used to be there were deep gashes and dents on his body and his right wing was missing and his eye was cracked he was no worse than Grimlock.

Shockwave looked towards the slowly evacuating Dinobots with contempt though of course it wasn't visible on his face but it was there...oh it was there. Knowing that there was nothing here for him here but destruction and Failure Shockwave decided the logical choice would be to leave and seek medical attention for himself.

Shockwave started to walk but like i stated he was no worse than Grimlock each step sent wave after wave of agonizing pain through his body until he collapsed on the ground and began crawling while trail of energon stained the ground. Waves of pain continued to travel throughout his body as he began struggling to crawl,Shockwave could even feel himself slowly starting to go into stasis lock.

After about several more seconds of crawling Shockwave stopped his vision was starting to fail him everything was becoming static like and started to go dark but before he went to stasis lock his Audio Receptors caught something was the unmistakable sound of jet engines descending to the ground followed by the sound of a massive thud, then there was the sounds of multiple feet gently hitting the ground then the sounds of transformations echoed throughout the air then there was voices. "There he is!" "Let's load him up.and get him some medical attention quick!"

Those were the last words Shockwave heard before his audio receptors went out and his vision went to black sending him straight to Stasis lock.

Hours Later

The first thing to come back online was Shockwave's audio receptors which began to capture the sounds of what sounded like talking but it was muffled next his vision started to come back at first it was static but after a minute it started to clear up and he was able to see clearly. Shockwave slowly began to turn his head to look at his surroundings and noticed he wasn't at the site of his Space bridge tower anymore but at a medical facility as he noticed he was in a room with a few hospital beds some empty some housing injured Decepticons...

Shockwave looked at himself and noticed that the dents and gashes that were once on his body were patched up and he had several tube attached to his body pumping energon back into his body. Shockwave looked over to his left arm and noticed it was still a stump then the image of Grimlock's Dino jaws chomping down on his arm,ripping it off and eating it was still fresh in his memory banks.

Suddenly a voice pulled him away from that horrid memory "Ah good you're online."Shockwave looked towards the origin of the voice and saw it belonged to a familiar face standing beside him was Flatline the Decepticon Medic although that's always said loosely the reason for that is like all medics who graduate from the Cybertron Medical Academy Flatline is bound to an oath and will treat any damaged Cybertronian that is placed in his care be they Decepticon or Autobot.

Him Nursing the latter always got him tons of flak for it but he didn't go care he became a medic to save lives and that Is what he'll do until the day he goes off line.

Flatline's main specialty was replacing body parts or constructing whole new bodies for his patients and he's extremely good at it. "how are you feeling Shockwave Flatline asked in a slightly kind tone "Where am i?"Shockwave asked looking around "You're in my Medical Facility in Vos, some decepticon troopers found you badly damaged in the rubble of that tower you built it's a good thing they found you when they did you were dangerously close to dying, What happened?"Flatline asked curiously wanting to know what happened to Shockwave.

Shockwave stared at Flatline for a full second before turning his one eye forward in front of him "I'd rather not discuss it at this time."Shockwave said firmly Flatline raised an eyebrow in confusion but then decided to just let it go. "Well...anyway I have other patients to check on, stay put and rest and I'll do something about that missing arm."Flatline said as he left the room.

Shockwave laid on his bed in silence thinking about the situation he is in at the moment, the plan was going perfectly the tower was working and the nemesis was ready to carry the Decepticon army to the target world he found. But all of that came tumbling down when Grimlock and his team thanks to the new forms gifted to them by Shockwave himself escaped from his lab and destroyed the space bridge tower.

But what made this even worse is what Grimlock did to him, Grimlock bit off his arm and ate it in front of him no normal Cybertronian would even think about doing that but Shockwave knew because of him Grimlock was no longer a normal Cybertronian. Shockwave also remembered the impact of Grimlock's massive tail hitting him square in his chest he also remembered flying right off the tower, he remembered falling and falling until he hit the ground then he felt heavy things falling into him hurting his body more and more.

Recalling those moments made Shockwave feel something, something he hadn't felt in a long time and that was Anger, Grimlock and his team ruined his space bridge tower and tried to offline him in the process normally Shockwave tried to not let his emotions cloud his sense of logic however sometimes exceptions were made and this was one of them.

Shockwave was now filled with the desire to make Grimlock and his team pay for their transgression against him but how? Even with his intellect he's still no match for the Dinobots, They're bigger, stronger and more ferocious now because of their new dino forms.

After thinking carefully Shockwave came to the conclusion that he needed powerhouses that could match or even surpass Grimlock and his team then he remembered something the 5 Dinosaur specimens he used for Grimlock and his team were not the only ones he had interested in there were 4 more and they were currently in his lab waiting to be spliced with the Cna of 4 Cybertronians and Shockwave had the perfect candidates in mind.

His thoughts were immediately interrupted by the sound of Flatline coming back into the room this time he brought something with him it was a cart that had an assortment of different arm replacements one had a hook on it the other was normal looking and the other was a blaster.

Shockwave stared up at Flatline who stared back "Your replacement arm, please choose I'm an extraordinary busy bot." Shockwave stared at the replacement arms and was about to choose when a query rushed into his head "Flatline are there any Autobots still rusting in our prisons?"

Flatline thought about this and answered him "No i think they all escaped." "Mmm guess I'll have to do this the hard way then, I require a team of Decepticons to go to my lap in kaon to retrieve some equipment and move it to another lab I have in Kaon."Shockwave said Flatline gave him a confused expression "Ok...why?"he asked.

"Because I need them for a very important experiment I'm going to conduct, also as soon as that's done I need them to retrieve 4 specific autobots, I'll give you the files after the first task is complete." Flatline was still confused but decided to go along with it "Alright I'll have a team go to your lab right away but first..."Flatline said gesturing to the replacement arms still wanting him to choose.
