And while Lancex was processing what he had heard from Aquaformer and Ratchet, Cosmos found himself thinking about Lancex and wondering what it might be like to be a mate of such a bot. Being a bit older, he knew what his spark reaction to the bot meant, but the question was would Lancex accept Cosmos as a mate. Cosmos smiled as he thought of the kiss he had shared with Lancex, as it felt so right. The smaller bot also figured he would have to mention to Lancex that he, Cosmos, was a submissive bot. Cosmos didn't realize that Lancex was also a submissive mech as the bot didn't come off that way.
Cosmos smiled as he thought of trying to win Lancex over, blushing at the very thought also thinking Lancex was a more dominant bot. Grimlock, who had heard about the interaction between Lancex and Cosmos came to find the small bot, and when Cosmos blushed and smiled, Grimlock knew what he had heard was true. Grimlock transformed into his T-Res mode, as he appeared scarier. And soon he approached the seemingly oblivious minibot.
Cosmos was minding his own business when he ran into something hard and metallic. When Cosmos turned toward the object, Cosmos was met by a series of sharp teeth in a powerful jaw. It was horrific sight for the small bot. Grimlock took a sniff near the small bot and liked what he thought he smelt even less. He growled lowly. "Back off. Lancex belong to Me Grimlock and me alone" Grimlock shouted at the poor minibot who nearly lost his oil at that, though he was not pleased Grimlock alone claimed Lamcex.
Thankfully, Optimus came along just at that time and saw Grimlock going after the minibot. Optimus was not pleased at the sight, but he had a feeling he knew why these two who rarely interacted seemed to be fighting – Lancex. Optimus had to shake his head. Lancex and Aquaformer hadn't been here that long and both were wanted badly within a short time of arrival. Optimus goes to break up the fight, none of the three having any inkling that the bot that they are seeking was in dire danger.
Meanwhile, back with Lancex, the bot had wandered out of the base. What Aquaformer and Ratchet had said was a lot to process and he just wanted to be alone to clear his mind. The only bot anywhere near Lancex was Jazz for the moment, but not close enough to the bot to bother him. Suddenly, lost in thought, Lancex went down and then out. He had no idea what had happened, but his entire body, stunned stiff, crashed to the ground. Jazz started heading over to help, but soon stopped when he saw Soundwave grab the bot, hoist the unconscious bot up and then head off. Jazz watched for a bit as they headed off and then headed inside. He had to reach Prime as an Autobot was in trouble.
