Hello, everyone in internet-land! PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47 here, with the second chapter of Transformers Cosmic Force. In this chapter, the Autobots are getting adjusted to life on Earth, having outfitted a car-parts factory with Cybertronian technology, for them to use as an Earth base. However, a Decepticon attack complicates things, so now, the Autobots must fight to protect their new home. Can they save Witwicky from this attack? Keep reading to find out.
Disclaimer: Same as last chapter.
It cuts to a car part factory, having been outfitted with Cybertronian technology, where we see three of the Autobots doing target-practice in a shooting range. In this case, Ironhide, Smokescreen, and Warpath.
(Author's Note: Smokescreen looks like his Prime self, with his Generation 1 color-scheme. His Chain-Bolter rifle looks like the Heavy Pulse Rifle from Overwatch 2 mixed with the MA5B Assault Rifle from the Halo series, and the MK3 Lancer Assault-Rifles from Gears Of War.)
Smokescreen shot some dummies with his Chain-Bolter rifle, while Ironhide blasted some dummies with his cannons. Warpath fired some blasts from the tank-cannon on his chest.
"KA-BLAM! KA-BLAM! KA-BLAM!" Warpath hollered, with an elated look.
"Good grief, Warpath. Pipe down a little!" said Ironhide, annoyed. "You're loud enough for the deaf to hear."
"Right, sorry Ironhide." said Warpath, as he took out his neutron assault-rifle and shot the moving targets.
"That's better. Somewhat." said Ironhide. Optimus then looked to see Drift in his room.
"Drift? Are you sure you don't want to have a different room for your personal quarters?" said Optimus, as he noticed the massive tree in Drift's area. "At least, one with a roof?"
"I'm actually quite comfortable with this room." said Drift.
"Alrighty then." said Optimus, as he left the samurai Autobot alone.

Chapter 2: Getting Adjusted To Life On Earth!
It shows Jetfire in his vehicle mode flying through the skies, doing some patrol.
"So far so good." said Jetfire, smiling a little. He looked to see a certain Cybertronian jet-fighter. "Ugh, never a day to myself." Jetfire then converted into his robot-mode.
(Author's Note: Jetfire's robot mode looks like his Cyberverse self.)
"Well now, if it isn't Mr. Dudley Do-Right of the Cybertronian Mounties." said Starscream, scowling at Jetfire.
"We're not gonna let you ruin this planet, like how you and the Decepticons ruined Cybertron!" said Jetfire, as he drew his blaster.
"I'd like to see you try and stop us!" said Starscream. With that, the two jet-robots were engaged in an intense dogfight, shooting at eachother with their blasters. Starscream shot at Jetfire with his null-rays, who dodged, while Jetfire managed to shoot Starscream in the arm.
"GAH! Damn you!" Starscream yowled, furious.
"We're gonna keep this planet safe." said Jetfire, as he was determined to help his fellow Autobots in defeating the Decepticons and saving Earth.
"I'LL REMEMBER THIS! WATCH YOUR BACK!" Starscream ranted, shaking his fist in retribution, and he converted back into vehicle mode and flew off.
"Scrap, so Starscream is on Earth?" said one of the Autobots, Sideswipe. He spoke with his squadmate, Cliffjumper.
(Author's Note: Sideswipe's robot mode is a TF Prime version of his BayVerse self, with his Generation-1 color-scheme.)
"'Fraid so, Sideswipe." said Cliffjumper, sounding like Maui from Moana.
"Scrap. That must mean that Megatron is here with his flunkies." said Sideswipe. However, they were being spied on by what appeared to be a warrior wasp the size of a jet plane. This was Waspinator, one of the techno-organic members of the Decepticons, with the other being Blackarachnia.
"Murderation! The Autobotzzzz are here!" Waspinator complained, visibly flustered. Sideswipe spotted Waspinator.
"AAAAHHH! WASP!" Sideswipe yelped, panicking. Cliffjumper took out his blaster, and shot Waspinator out of the air.
"WHYYYYYYYYYYYY MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!?" Waspinator shrieked, as he dropped from the air. Waspinator converted into his robot mode.
(Author's Note: Waspinator's robot mode is a fusion between his Beast Wars robot mode, and his Transformers Animated robot mode.)
"Owww…" Waspinator groaned, wincing. "Why universe hate Wazzzpinator?" He then opened a portal back to the Nemesis, and walked through it, grumbling cuss-words under his breath.
"So, it is true…the Decepticons have followed us on Earth." said Optimus, shocked.
"Not good." said Wheeljack, looking worried.
(Author's Note: Wheeljack's robot mode is a merger of his TF Prime and TF Universe Online selves.)
"It's gonna be up to all of us, if we're gonna keep Earth and it's resources safe from Megatron's forces." said Ratchet.
"Couldn't agree more." said Jazz.
(Author's Note: Jazz's robot form is a merger between his RID 2015 and TFA selves, while Ratchet looks like a merger between his TF Prime and Cyberverse Selves)
Meanwhile, we turn to see the Insecticons, Bombshell, Shrapnel, and Kickback in their alt-modes in the desert.
"What the scrap kinda town is named "Witwicky", anyhow?" said Bombshell, complaining about the town's name.
"Only in Pennsylvania." said Sharpnel, scowling. Shrapnel's alt-mode was a Japanese stag-beetle, while Bombshell became a Japanese rhinoceros beetle, and Kickback transformed into a Rocky Mountain locust.
"Hey, fellazzzz." said a voice, as Waspinator arrived in his alt-mode.
"Waspinator?" said Kickback, stunned.
"Hello there, Kickback. Sharpshot. Hardshell." said Waspinator.
"It's "Shrapnel", not "Sharpshot", you knucklehead." said Shrapnel, annoyed.
"And my name is Bombshell, not "Hardshell"." said Bombshell, also annoyed.
'Yeah, sure. And I'm Theodor Geisel.' Waspinator grumbled in his mind.
"Primus on a stick, Waspinator, you look like Hell. What the heck happened?" said Bombshell, concerned for Waspinator.
(Author's Note: Bombshell looks like Hardshell from Transformers Prime, with the color-scheme of his G1 self.)
"Thozzzze blazzzzzted Autobotzzzzz happened, thatzzzz what." Waspinator grumbled, annoyed.
"Damn." said Bombshell, shocked.
Later, it showed Starscream sneaking around Shockwave's on-site laboratory on Earth, while Shockwave was busy doing research.
(Author's Note: Shockwave looks like how he does in Transformers Prime, with the head of his BayVerse self from Dark Of The Moon.)
Starscream was listening to one of Shockwave's audio-logs.
"Experiment 1-4079." Shockwave's voice said, through the audio log. "I have captured and experimented on the Lightning-Strike Coalition: Grimlock, Swoop, Slug, Sludge, Snarl, Scorn, and Slash. I had given them alt-modes based off of the first animals to walk this planet: creatures known as 'dinosaurs'."
'This proves to be interesting.' Starscream thought, as he then silently dispatched the guards stationed over the leader of the Lightning-Strike Coalition, Grimlock.
(Author's Note: Grimlock looks like how he does in Fall Of Cybertron mixed with his Robots In Disguise (2015) self, with the head of his EarthSpark self, and his Fall Of Cybertron color-scheme.)
"NICE TRY, STARSCREAM!" said a guard, as he slammed the Decepticon air-commander against the console, and threw him through a window.
"YYYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!" Starscream yowled, as he landed in front of a shackled Grimlock. He got to his feet, with a dark chuckle.
"You've gone and messed with the wrong-!" Before he could finish his sentence, the EMP charge then disabled him. He then faced Grimlock.
"So, you must be the one known as 'Grimlock'." said Starscream, as he faced the Autobot soldier. "I am Starscream. I have looked at Shockwave's data-logs. Looked excruciating. I bet that you're just chomping at the bit to pay him back. But, what is a Grimlock to do? Surely, Optimus has written you and your entire squadron as killed-in-action. And, I bet you are far too stupid to think for yourself. How pathetic! You WILL swear your allegiance to me. You WILL do my bidding. And in return: I will set you and your squadron free."
"NO THANKS!" Said Grimlock, as he snatched Starscream. "I'LL FREE MYSELF AND MY SQUADRON ALL ON MY OWN!"
"W-w-w-wait! I can help you!" Starscream yelped. Grimlock then chucked Starscream through a wall, knocking him out. Grimlock then broke free from his restraints with his raw strength.
"Something feels…wrong. Hard to…think…" Grimlock uttered, as he forced the doors open with his bare hands.
"OH SCRAP! The subject is loose!" yelped a Vehicon. Grimlock's sword formed in his hand.
(Author's Note: Grimlock's sword looks like his Thermal Sword from Fall Of Cybertron mixed with Harbinger from RWBY in its sword-mode, with an additional chainsaw blade.)
"I'm going to rip Shockwave limb-from-limb with my bare-hands for the horrific experiments he has conducted on me and my squadron!" Grimlock snarled with murderous intent.
(BGM: "Had Enough" by Breaking Benjamin Plays)
Grimlock then slashed and sliced apart several Vehicons with his Chainsaw Thermal Sword. He then looked to see Bombshell.
"OH SCRAP!" the rhinoceros beetle Insecticon yelped, startled.
"WHERE'S SHOCKWAVE!?" Grimlock bellowed, as he grabbed Bombshell by the neck. "TALK, WHILE YOU STILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ATTACHED TO YOUR SHOULDERS!"
"I-I-I'll talk!" Bombshell whimpered. "Lord Megatron will have me killed, but I'll talk! He's in his personal quarters!"
Grimlock then dropped Bombshell on his behind. "Get the Hell outta my goddamn sight." Grimlock snarled. Bombshell ran off, screaming like a scared little schoolgirl, until he was flattened by a door. A robotic triceratops walked through it.
"Excuse me." said the triceratops.
"Slug? Is that you?" said Grimlock, stunned.
"Yes, Grimlock. It's me, alright." said Slug, as he converted into Robot Mode. Slug, aside from being a soldier affiliated with the Autobots, was a member of the Church Of Primus, and held onto his teachings despite the inhumane experimentations Shockwave had conducted on him, Grimlock, and the others.
"Glad to see you're still mentally sound." said Grimlock, relieved. He then looked to see a pterosaur robot in captivity. Grimlock then smashed the control panels, and the pterodactyl robot flew around.
"Thanks for the save!" said the pterodactyl robot. This was Swoop. Grimlock, alongside Swoop and Slug then looked to see a robot Titanosaurus in captivity. They automatically recognized him as their tank, Sludge. Grimlock then smashed the generators powering the ray-shield, and Sludge walked towards them.
"Sludge grateful for Friend Grimlock, Friend Slug and Friend Swoop." said Sludge, sounding like King Shark mixed with John Rambo.
"Dear God...! Sludge, what did Shockwave's messed-up experiments do to you, buddy!?" Swoop gasped, worried.
"Whatever twisted experiments he did, it cost Sludge his brain-power." said Grimlock, as he clenched his fists. He wanted to make Shockwave pay in blood for what he had done to him and the others. He looked to see a Kentrosaurus robot locked with a Spinosaurus robot and a Velociraptor robot.
"Hang on, guys. I'm getting us outta this hellhole." said Grimlock, as he smashed the consoles for the cells, and the three walked out.
"Thanks for the save, Grim." said the Velociraptor robot. This was Slash, the sole female member of the Lightning-Strike Coalition.
"Whatever Shockwave did to us really impacted Sludge and Snarl's brain-power. Looks like you, Swoop, Slug and Scorn retain our brain-power in Robot Mode." said Slash "I retain my brain-power in both robot mode and my new alt-mode, but whatever Shockwave had done, had made both poor Sludge and Snarl dumber than a sack of diapers in either mode."
"What the Hell!?" said a voice belonging to Dropkick. Dropkick, alongside his colleague, Shatter, as well as Blitzwing, Astrotrain and Megatron were the only five triple-changers affiliated with the Decepticons.
"It's over, Dropkick. One way or another, Shockwave will be held accountable for what he did to me and my team!" said Grimlock, as he pointed his sword at Dropkick.
"Dammit….!" Dropkick growled, triggered. "COMBATICONS! FORM BRUTICUS!"
With that, Brawl, Blast-Off, Vortex, Swindle, and Onslaught arrived, and combined into Bruticus. Onslaught formed the torso, Vortex and Blast-Off formed the arms, and Brawl and Swindle formed the legs.
"BRUTICUS SMASH!" Bruticus bellowed, as he slammed the ground with his fists.
"Oh, scrap!" Scorn yelped, shocked.
"We can play that game," said Grimlock. "Dinobots, FORM VOLCANICUS!"
(BGM: "Blow Me Away" by Breaking Benjamin plays)
With that, Grimlock combined with his squadron, with Grimlock forming the upper-body and head, Scorn and Slash forming the arms, Sludge forming the lower-body, and Slug and Snarl forming the legs, as Swoop then attached onto his back, forming wings.
"We're going to find Optimus and the others, and we're gonna stop Megatron for good!" said Volcanicus, as he then fought against Bruticus in hand-to-hand combat, trading blows with the Decepticon combiner-unit.
"Bruticus destroy Dinobots!" Bruticus bellowed, speaking in the third-person. Whenever Onslaught, Blast-Off, Vortex, Brawl and Swindle combined into Bruticus, they sacrificed brain-power for raw physical strength.
"Bruticus GOT NO BRAIN!" said Volcanicus, as he then did an ear-clap to the sides of Bruticus' head.
"YIPE! My audio-receptors!" Bruticus yelped, feeling as if the Dinobot Combiner-Unit had destroyed his hearing. Volcanicus focused raw heat into his hands, and then thrashed Bruticus with a flurry of punches, beating the Combiner Unit within an inch of his life.
"You Decepticons are never going to win this war, you wanna know why!?" said Volcanicus, as he kept thrashing Bruticus. "Because, the Autobots will NEVER let evil win in the end!" Volcanicus then grabbed Grimlock's sword, and severed Blast-Off and Vortex from Bruticus's body.
"W-wait! Let's be civil!" Bruticus yelped. "Bruticus will leave Earth and not come back! Bruticus will go wherever you want Bruticus to go!"
"How about you go to Hell?" said Volcanicus, as he took Grimlock's sword, and bifurcated Bruticus straight down the middle, killing the Combaticons. Volcanicus then split back into the Dinobots.
"When the Gatekeeper To Hell asks who sent you and your friends, tell him it was the Dinobots." said Grimlock. Grimlock and the others then left Shockwave's on-site laboratory.
"I can detect Grimlock and the other members of the Lightning-Strike Coalition's energy signatures here in the forest." said Arcee, as she was with Bulkhead and Sideswipe. They looked to see the Dinobots.
"Guys, it's us!" said Arcee. Grimlock was in his T-Rex mode, and he converted into his Robot Mode.
"You guys are a real welcome sight." said Grimlock.
"C'mon, we'll bring you guys back to base." said Arcee, as she led Grimlock, Slug, Swoop, Snarl, Sludge, Scorn and Slash to the Earth base that the Autobots were at.
