The sun was rising and it was the start of a new day for team prime. Bulkhead was walking to the main area of the base with miko on his shoulder.

"All right chores are done. Now can we do some dune-bashing?" Says miko.

" I don't know, Miko. Last time, I spent a week picking sand out of my articulators. Uh, but, there's a monster-truck rally in town." Says Bulkhead.

Ratchet has just picked up a signal from a starship."Optimus, I'm receiving a signal on a restricted band. It appears to be coming from a starship inside this solar system." Ratchet then finds out it's autobot origin."It's an autobot identification beacon." Says Ratchet who is a little bit shocked by this.

"So there are other bots out there?" Asked Jack. Jack thought that they were the last autobots alive.

"The masses scattered to the galaxies when Cybertron finally went dark, but cons have been known to bait traps with false beacons." Says Arcee.

" If it is a con, can I be the one to start punching him?" Grimlock says with a smile.

" Can I come with you? I wanna see you put the hurt on some cons." Says Miko.

Grimlock was about to answer her but was cut off by Ratchet." Absolutely not! It would be to dangerous for you." Says Ratchet

Miko is bummed out that she won't be able to see Grimlock destroy some cons. Optimus prime then speaks."Unknown vessel, this is autobot outpost omega one. Identify yourself." Says Prime.

(( when he said omega 1. I thought we would get to see omega supreme later in the show))

There was static and then there was a voice."I've had warmer welcomes from Decepticon combat brigades." Says the mysterious Transformer.

Bulkhead is shocked and happy. He recognized that voice immediately."Wheeljack?! You old con crusher! What are you doing all the way out here?" Says Bulkhead. He walks closer to the monitor and Miko almost Falls off of Bulkheads shoulder.

"Bulkhead? That you? What's with all the security?" Says wheeljack.

"The rock we're on is crawling with cons. How soon can you get here and even the odds more?" Says bulkhead. Bulkhead was referring to there new ally who is one strong dinobot. Grimlock didn't know what he was talking when he said even the odds more.

"Sometime tomorrow if I put metal to the pedal." Says Jackie.

Miko is excited about a new bot joining the fight."Another bot's coming here. How cool is that!" Says Miko.

" I hope he likes to smash stuff as much as I do." Says Grimlock.

" He sure does Grimlock." Says Bulkhead

Grimlock happy with that answer. Optimus has heard of that bot before."Wheeljack -- I know of him by reputation only. Can you verify his voiceprint?" Says Optimus as he looks at Bulkhead.

"He is 1,000% the real deal, Optimus." Bulkhead says excitedly.

Optimus looks at the monitor."We will send landing coordinates, Wheeljack. Safe journey."

"See you soon, buddy. I'll make sure you get a proper welcome." Says Bulkhead.

Ratchet cuts off the communication to wheeljack."So, who's the boyfriend?" Says Arcee.

Grimlock chuckles at her little joke she made" I didn't know you had a boyfriend Bulkhead?" Grimlock joked.

This caused bee and the child to laugh a little." oh haha, very funny you guys. But seriously though,Me and Jackie go way back. We were part of the same war unit, the wreckers, which means the cons are gonna wish he never found us." Says Bulkhead.

(( I will manly do the Autobots and not the decepticons. But they will eventually get a chapter))

Tomorrow around noon.

Every one has gathered near the monitor to watch for wheeljack."Wheeljack's ship is approaching the landing zone." Said Arcee.

"You think he's here to visit?" Asked Raf

"Maybe he'll stay! Hmm. Have to find his own human, though." Says Miko who is excited about a new bot coming here.

Ratchet types in the coordinates"Ground bridge cycling up." As he finished the coordinations. It short circuits and then the screen is messed up a bit. Ratchet hits the monitor and it's fixed "Blasted scraplets! Equipment hasn't been the same since the infestation." Says Ratchet

Jack looks at Optimus."So, wheeljack's gonna land halfway around the world and then you'll bridge him here?"

Optimus looks towards the children."We can't risk revealing the location of our base just in case the Decepticons are tracking wheeljack's ship." Optimus didn't want to risk the safety of his comrades.

Bulkhead was pacing around back-and-forth. He was excited to see is old friend. Miko watch's Bulkhead pace."Dude, I've never seen you so stoked!"

Bulkhead stops pacing around and looks at Miko."Oh, you're gonna love Wheeljack. We were like brothers. And tonight we are gonna party!"

"Sweet!" Miko says excitedly.

" oh yeah!" Grimlock yells excitedly as he raises his large arms.

The mood was ruined by the beeping from the large screen. It shows enemy signals on wheeljacks tail."Bogies closing fast on wheeljack's position." Said Acree.

This angered Bulkhead." Con scum!"

Arcee,Grimlock,Bumblebee, and Bulkhead are at the entrance of the ground bridge. "Open the bridge, Ratchet! We're missing all the action!"

" I hope I get to fight some cons." Grimlock says excitedly, Even though he is still currently a decepticon.

" There ain't gonna be much left to fight after Jackie get through with them." Says Bulkhead.

Grimlock hopes that Blukhead is wrong and there's at least one con left for him to fight. Ratchet finally gets the Ground Bridge operational.Ratchet looks at the three Autobots and the one dinobot"I'll prepare sick bay." Says Ratchet.

Bulkhead laughs at what Ratchet said."Who for? The cons? This is Wheeljack we're talking about."

Bulkhead, Arcee, Grimlock and Bumblebee storm through the ground bridge to find Wheeljack knocking down the last of the 'cons who was standing by stabbing him through the torso with his sword. Bulkhead then chuckles."I taught him that."

Grimlock is now a little disappointed that there's no one to fight. Acree looks at Grimlock and sees that he is disappointed. " You will get a chance to fight some bot next time Grim." Says Arcee

Grimlock is happy with that answer and gives her a smile. Arcee didn't know why but she kinda likes seeing him smile. Wheeljack puts his two swords away and heads over to the group. "Ever think I might need a hand here?" Said Wheeljack

"What, and spoil the show?" Says Bulkhead

Acree sees one of the cons getting up." You missed one."

Wheeljacks hand turns into a cannon and blast the con. His mask then unfolds."If this is all you got, the planet's in bigger trouble than I thought."

Bulkhead excitedly greets his old friend with a massive bear hug." Jackie!" Bulkhead then laughs a little.

Bumblebee, Arcee, and Grimlock had small shocked expressions on their faces but then they smile at the wreckers reunion. Wheeljack laughs a little at his friends affection."Watch the finish, you old wrecking ball." Says wheeljack.

The four Autobots and one Dinobot run back through the ground bridge and make it back to base. But then the ground bridge controls short circuit and shuts down. The bridge behind them closes. "Jackie, come here. Meet my other best buddy, Miko. She can wreck with the best of us." Bulkhead says proudly.

Miko waves at them." Hiya."

"You keeping bulkhead out of trouble?" Wheeljack says this as he pointed at his friend.

"I try, but trouble finds us anyway." Says Miko

Wheeljack looks at Bulkhead."We're gonna get along just fine." Wheeljack says with a small grin on his face. Wheeljack then sees Prime and walks up to him."Optimus prime, it's a privilege."

"Likewise, soldier. What have you to report from your long journey?"

"Been bouncing from rock to rock searching for signs of friend or foe. Now I find both." Wheeljack looks at Bulkhead as he said that.

"We are few, but strong. We have suffered losses But we have grown. And we would relish welcoming another new member into our fold."

" I'd be honored." Says Jackie

"Then let's get this party started!" Bulkhead pats Jackie's back hard and he almost falls. He turns around and him and Bulk chest pump.

" Oh,joy." Says Ratchet. Ratchet's not as enthusiastic as the others with Bulkhead's friend, as he senses impending destruction.

Later

The Autobots and kids celebrate Wheeljack's arrival, and Miko breaks out her electric guitar and Bulkhead and Wheeljack are engaging in some Lobbing. Jack, Acree, and Grimlock were watching them. Jack was curious at what they are doing." So, what's that about?" Asked jack

Grimlock looks down at his small friend." It's one of the best things to do on Cybertron! Besides fighting." Grimlock grins with His answer.

Acree smiles a little at his answer."It's called lobbing, the favorite pastime on Cybertron, especially among the warrior class."

After some encouragement by Miko, Raf busts some dance moves by doing The Robot, and Bumblebee joins in.

Jack watched them dance."Of course -- The robot."

Jack then noticed a certain leader missing from the party."W-where's Optimus?" Asked jack

"Went for a drive. Primes don't party." Acree stated.

" I would give anything to see a Optimus party." Says Grimlock.

"same here Grim." Replied Acree.

Wheeljack then takes some time to fish for info on the Ground Bridge from Ratchet after the lob hit the ground bridge controls, Ratchet says it's in the middle of defragging and can't be used for a few hours.

Later

Bulkhead tells the kids and his friends about a battle he and Wheeljack took part in."So there we were -- No communications, low on energon, surrounded by cons. So, what does Wheeljack do? Tell them, Jackie."

The kids who were excited and fascinated by the story look over at wheeljack. He looks down at them."What I do best." Replied Wheeljack

The kids then look back at Bulkhead who gives a small laugh"He Chucks his only grenade smack into the primary heat exchanger."

"Yeah, seemed like a good idea at the time."

"The joint went supernova!" Bulkhead said excitedly.

"Awesome!" Said Miko

"Yeah, I'm still picking shrapnel out of my backside." Bulkhead reaches back and scratches his backside.

"I'm not surprised given the size of your backside." Joked Acree. Grimlock and bee laughed at her joked.

Bulkhead points at his friends only grenade."There it is, Jackie's signature -- One grenade, one shot."

Bulkhead then noticed that his friend is zoning out and being quiet."Hey, you all right?" Asked Bulkhead.

Wheeljack snaps out of his little trance and looks at his friend"What?" Asked Wheeljack.

"You don't seem like yourself." Said Bulkhead.

He stands straight up and looks at Bulk."What do you mean?" Asked Wheeljack.

"I don't know. You seem quiet." Said Bulkhead.

"Aw, I've been stuck in a can too long. I should go topside before I get stir-crazy." Said Wheeljack.

"I have patrol in the morning. You can come with." Bulkhead Suggested to Wheeljack.

"Let's go now." Jackie quickly suggested.

"And break up the party? Come on! The gang's loving you! You got to tell them about the battle of Darkmount Pass!" Bulkhead said excitedly.

"You tell them. You're better at it." Wheeljack then looks down at miko."How about if Miko here shows me the rest of your base." Asked Wheeljack.

"Well, yeah, sure, Jackie. Go ahead." Says Bulkhead

Miko and wheeljack leave so Miko can show wheeljack around the base. Bulkhead's suspicions have been raised when his friend acted differently.

Arcee, Grimlock, and bumblebee noticed that Bulkhead isn't exactly like himself."You all right?" Asked Arcee

"Your not acting like your self bulkhead." Stated Grimlock.

"I'm fine you two, just Out of sorts, I guess." Says Bulkhead.

"Don't tell me you're jealous." She says with a small smirk.

"That Miko's making a new friend? Come on. Something...Something's just not right about Wheeljack." Said Bulkhead

"Bulkhead, really? He's traveled galaxies. You haven't seen him for centuries. He could just be rocket-lagged or Well, bots do change, you know? Like Grimlock for example." Says Acree as she pointed at Grimlock.

" Yeah. I used to fight for the decepticons and Now I'm with you guys and I'm fighting the cons on this planet." Grimlock says with a grin.

" Not Jackie." Bulkhead stated.

One tour later.

Wheeljack and miko, make it back to the control center where Bulkhead is talking to the others."Look, I know Wheeljack better than anyone."

"Hey. What are you guys talking about?" Asked Wheeljack as he walks over to them.

"I was just telling the guys all about you and me at the battle of darkmount pass." Said Bulkhead.

"That's a heck of a story." Says Wheeljack

"Yep. Tell it." Bulkhead glares at his 'friend'.

"Talk, talk, talk. How about after we go off-roading?" Suggested Miko.

"Miko! Stay out of this!" Yelled Bulkhead.

"Bulkhead, easy." Said Arcee as she tried to calm him down.

" yeah. you don't have to get mad." Says Grimlock.

"I'm not sure I -" he was interrupted by Bulkhead.

"Tell it!" Yelled Bulkhead.

"Fine. You want to live in the past, bulkhead?" He looks at the child. And then Begins the story."The wreckers were trapped between a Decepticon patrol and the smelting pit. The cons were vicious, bearing down on us with everything they had. Me and bulkhead engaged the enemy, left them for scrap, then I made us a way out using their backsides as stepping-stones to cross the molten metal. Isn't that how it happened?" He asked Bulkhead at the end.

"Yeah. That's exactly how it happened." Says Bulkhead

Wheeljack grins with what he said.

"Except for one little thing." After he said that, he had a concerned look on his face."I wasn't there." Ratchet stops working on the ground bridge controls and looks over at the group."I'd already left the wreckers to join up with Optimus, but you wouldn't know that if all you did was access wheeljack's public-service record."

"Bulkhead, what does that have to do with -- Ahh!"

Realizing that his cover's blown, Makeshift takes Miko hostage and runs over to the ground bridge controls.

" Miko!" Yells Bulkhead.

"Stay back, or I'll squeeze her into pulp." Said makeshift who sounds different now.

Everyone was in a fighting position. Bulkhead is now angry."Wheeljack, what are you doing?!" Said miko

"Decepticon coward! Let the girl go and face me!" Yells Bulkhead.

"Don't fret. Plenty of fighting to come." Says makeshift

Grimlock was about to transformer to Dinomode but then makeshift Squeezed Miko a little, making her yelp." Don't even think about it traitor!" Says makeshift.

Grimlock slistens to what he says so Makeshift doesn't hurt his friend. "Is there a real Wheeljack? Asked jack.

"Oh, indeed, and I expect lord Starscream is making sport of him." Says makeshift.

He the types in the coordinates and then it activates the bridge."About time. Let's get this party started." Says makeshift. Makeshift was ready to enter the Ground Bridge on the Autobot end, when Wheeljack comes flying through it and lands on him.

"I'd shut that hole before the stink comes through." Says the real Wheeljack.

Ratchet shuts down the Ground Bridge before any Decepticons come through. The two Wheeljacks draw their swords. Bulkhead was about to fight makeshift but was stopped by the real Wheeljack.

"Ugly's mine." Says Wheeljack. They then both fight at length while the Autobots fail to keep track of who's who.

"Which one is the real Wheeljack?" Asked Raf.

" I lost track!" Said Miko.

Wheeljack, of course, triumphs in the end of the battle."That's my Jackie." Says Bulkhead

Wheeljack puts his swords away and looks at Ratchet."You, hit the switch. It's time to take out the trash." Wheeljack then looks at Bulkhead." All yours buddy."

Bulkhead throw Makeshift through through the ground bridge." Nice lob." Said wheeljack.

Later

The Autobots have another party, to Ratchet's dismay. Bumblebee, Grimlock, and the children were dancing to Mikos music. Acree smiles and then shakes her head slightly. Optimus, bulkhead we're talking to Wheeljack."Now that you're part of team prime, we need to pick out a vehicle mode for you. I have some ideas." Says Bulkhead

"Uh, about that, bulk -- Now that my ship's repaired, I'm itching to know what else I might find out there." Says Wheeljack.

The children heard him and walked over to him."Wait. You're leaving? Why?" Asked miko.

"Because some bots never change." Bulkhead says with a smile.

"Wheeljack, know that you'll always have a haven here." Optimus told him.

Bulkhead pats his back and then arm hug him. He then pats his chest."Jackie never stays, but he always comes back." Says Bulkhead as him and wheeljack bro fist.

Later

At wheeljacks ship. Some of the team and Grimlock went to see wheeljack takeoff "There's room for two, bulk, even with a backside like yours. Who knows who we might find out there -- Some of the old crew?" Says wheeljack.

Bulkhead is a little tempted by this idea but looks over at Miko."Heh. It sounds like fun, Jackie. But my ties are here now,with them ,With her." Says Bulkhead.

Miko is happy that he chose to stay here and not leave.Wheeljack looks at miko."If anything happens to my favorite wrecker, I'm coming after you." He joked.

"I'll take good care of him." Says miko.

" Hey wheeljack. When you come back. Me and you are gonna see which one of us can bash more cons." Says Grimlock.

" Sure thing Grimlock." Says wheeljack.

"Now, say cheese." Says Miko who snaps a picture of the two Autobots with her cell phone before Wheeljack leaves.
