Still reeling a bit from the shock of seeing the photo that Miko took of the femme beast bot, the Autobots quickly roused from the stupor that the photo had caused. "We must save that beast bot" Optimus commaded.
"Are you sure that is wise, Optimus?" Arcee asked, asking what many were thinking of as they planned to rescue this strange panther beast femme.
"Autobots protect life, no matter what it is or where it resides. It is our duty to save her, no matter what that may mean for us" Optimus replied and the others agreed. They had to reach the beast bot before the cons did.
Suddenly, an energon spike occurred, and unaware that it was a trap, the Autobots headed out. They had to figure out just what was going on. The beast bot could wait just a bit longer.
Well, not really, as the cons had used the area where the beast bot currently resided to set a trap for the Autobots. The Autobots rolled out to the area only to find themselves face to face with a strange beast bot. But this wasn't the same beast bot as before. This one was clearly mech, tiger like with black optics and wings like a dragon on its back. Megatron was standing there laughing as the Autobots were trying to figure out what to do with this new bot.
But before any of the bots could move, the hidden panther femme pounced and landed solidly on the tiger mech's back. Not expecting it, the tiger bot was caught off guard and gave up for the time being. Megaton was disappointed but he figured that the tiger bot was low on fuel as they had just found him. The panther bot growled ferociously at the tiger bot as well as the con leader. On a last parting shot, the tiger bot revealed the scorpion like tail it had and stung the femme panther bot hard, causing her to stumble and fall.
Not happy with this outcome, Megatron and the cons took off with the tiger bot. Little did they know that the tiger bot was even less stable than the panther femme.
Once the cons were gone, the Autobots were stunned. She had saved them. "Thank you" June said as she carefully approached, having been hidden inside Prime. The femme bot wanted to purr but still showed distrust in her optics towards the bots. "Please, they mean you no harm. Come with us, we can help you."
The panther bot looked to Optimus. "We believe in the right to life for all sentient beings. I don't know what your past history is, but if you wish, you may come with us and remain safe" Optimus offered. The femme panther bot looked to the humans who were now surrounding her. But with the nasty virus wracking her systems she had no choice but to allow them to help her. She just hoped her trust wasn't misplaced.
