In the Autobot base, Bulkhead was walking into the main room with Willow riding on his shoulder.

"Alight, we've finished our chores for today." Willow said to her Autobot Guardian. "How about we do some more magic training, today?"

"I don't know, Willow. Last time, I spent a week picking flowers petals out of my articulators." Bulkhead admitted, causing the Plant witch girl to get a bit depressed as he thought of something to cheer her up. "But, I heard there's a roller derby game in town."

"These giraffe things used to live in your world, Huh?" Wheeljack asked as he showed up with Gus on his shoulder.

"Yeah, but our ancestors banished them from the Demon Realm because they were deemed 'too dangerous' for us to live with." Gus explained. "Well, I'm one day gonna reestablish contact with them when I become an ambassador to Earth."

"You can always hope, Gus. That's what Optimus says." Wheeljack replied with a smile.

Just then, Willow, Gus, Bulkhead and Wheeljack noticed the others had gathered near Ratchet as he appeared to have found something on the main computer.

"Optimus, I'm receiving a signal on a restricted band. It appears to be coming from a starship inside this solar system." Ratchet said as managed to identify what type of signal it was. "It's an Autobot identification beacon."

"So, there are other Autobots out there?" Luz asked.

"The masses scattered to the galaxies when Cybertron finally went dark." Cliffjumper answered.

"But, Cons have been known to bait traps with false beacons." Arcee said in suspicion.

"Well we won't know unless we try calling whoever is on that ship, right?" Vee asked.

"Vee's got a good point." Jazz agreed.

Optimus nodded to the white Autobot before turning his attention to the main computer.

"Unknown vessel, this is Autobot Outpost Omega One. Identity yourself." Optimus ordered.

"I've had warmer welcomes from Decepticon combat brigades." A voice replied on the communicator.

While none of the others knew who the voice belonged to, Bulkhead and Wheeljack instantly recognised it.

"Seaspray?!" They both asked in surprise and delight.

"You old barnacle butt!" Wheeljack remarked happily as he and Bulkhead rushed up to the computer.

"What're you doing all the way out here?" Bulkhead questioned.

"Bulkhead? Wheeljack? Is that you guys?" The voice, now identified as Seaspray, asked. "What's with all the security?"

"The rock we're on is crawling with Cons." Bulkhead told him.

"How soon can you get here and even the odds?" Wheeljack asked.

"Sometime tomorrow. If I put metal to the pedal." Seaspray replied.

"Another Autobot's coming here?" Willow asked with a smile.

"That's so cool!" Gus remarked.

"Seaspray? I know of him by reputation only." Optimus admitted. "Can you both verify his voiceprint?"

"He is one thousand percent the real deal, Optimus." Bulkhead declared.

"We can definitely trust him." Wheeljack assured, earning a nod from the Autobot leader.

"We will send landing coordinates, Seaspray. Safe journey." Optimus told the new Autobot.

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

"And that's a promise." Wheeljack added.

"You got it, boys." Seaspray replied before ending the transmission.

"So who's the boyfriend you two are fighting over?" Arcee asked jokingly.

"I'm guessing you have a history with him?" Cliffjumper questioned.

"Heheh. The two of us and Sprays go way back. We were all part of the same war unit." Bulkhead explained before smashing his fist into his palm. "The Wreckers!"

"Which means the Cons are gonna wish he never found us." Wheeljack said with a smile.

"Great. I can't wait to meet him." Willow replied.

However, onboard the Nemesis, Team Prime didn't know that their communication with Seaspray was intercepted by Soundwave and he was currently playing it to his fellow Decepticons.

"A war hero, hmm?" Starscream asked, interested.

"I never thought another Autobot would show up on this dirt ball." Thundercracker admitted.

"Maybe we can use this to our advantage?" Skywarp suggested with a smirk. "We'll replace this 'Seaspray' with one of our own and then we can discover where their base is."

"And then, we'll destroy those Autobots and their puny organic friends." Brawl chuckled, cracking his metallic fists.

"Indeed. But we haven't much time." Starscream replied before looking past the others to someone else. "Makeshift!"

They looked to the back of the main deck to see an unidentifiable Decepticon walking to them in the darkness.

"We have a mission for you." Thundercracker said. "Are you up for it?"

"Definitely." The Decepticon known as Makeshift replied in an eerie voice.

Soundwave then pulled out one of his tentacles and latched it onto Makeshift's torso, while the new Decepticon began to change his shape.

"I too know how to prepare a proper welcome." Starscream said, smiling sinisterly.

(Linebreak)

As the sun began to set over the Autobot base, Team Prime and the Hexside Squad were monitoring their new arrival's approach on Earth's surface.

"Seaspray's ship is approaching the landing zone." Arcee said.

"Do you think he's here to visit?" Vee asked her friends.

"Maybe he'll stay and become an official member of Team Prime?" Willow guessed.

"But, he'll have to find his own human or witch to look after." Hunter admitted.

"I've already wrote a list down for which of our friends he can pick." Gus replied, holding a notepad and pen in his hands. "I've got Viney, Jerbo, Barcus, Skara, Amelia, Cat, Edric, Emira, Mattholomule and Eileen."

"Just tell me you didn't include Boscha in that list of yours, Gus." Amity said, crossing her arms.

"No way. She doesn't deserve to be paired with an Autobot." Gus answered before slightly turning away from his friends. "I just really hope Seaspray ends up choosing Skara. We could hang out more if that happens."

"What was that?" Willow asked with a raised eyebrow. "Something about you really wanting Skara to be Seaspray's pick?"

"N-no! I didn't say that!" Gus exclaimed as he blushed a bit, putting his notepad away. "I'm happy with whoever he picks!"

"Uh… okay." Vee replied, sounding a little suspicious.

"Why did he sound like me when I was hiding my crush on you?" Amity questioned her girlfriend quietly.

"No idea, Amity. Boys are a mystery." Luz replied.

The Hexside Squad then noticed Ratchet powering up the Ground Bridge to bring Seaspray into their base.

"Ground Bridge cycling up." Ratchet told the other Bots, only for the controls to spark out and he immediately slammed on them to get them working again. "Blasted Scraplets! Equipment hasn't been the same since the infestation."

"So, Seaspray's going to land halfway around the planet and then you'll Bridge him here?" Luz asked Optimus.

"We can't risk revealing the location of our base. Just in case the Decepticons are tracking Seaspray's ship." Optimus explained.

Willow and Gus noticed Bulkhead and Wheeljack were pacing around excitedly and approached them.

"Wow, Bulk, I've never seen you this hyped." Willow commented.

"Same to you, Jackie. You've gotta as excited as us." Gus said with a smile.

"Oh, you're both gonna love Seaspray." Bulkhead replied. "The three of us were like brothers."

"And tonight, we are gonna party!" Wheeljack announced excitedly.

"Sweet!" Willow and Gus remarked.

But then, the base's alarms started going off and everyone noticed some enemy signatures coming up behind Seaspray on the computer's map.

"Bogies. Closing fast on Seaspray's position." Jazz told his teammates.

"Con scum!" Bulkhead shouted with a glare.

(Linebreak)

Above a desert in a random part of Earth, Seaspray's ship was flying through the skies before a bunch of Vehicon flyers started firing their blasters from behind. The ship managed to manoeuvre away from some of the shots, but then it was blasted in the engine and crashed landed into the sand. The Vehicons then transformed and landed onto the damaged sand that Seaspray's ship left during it's crash.

One of the Vehicons approached the damaged ship with his blaster, only for him to get blown away by a torpedo and crash in front of his comrades with a huge hole in his chest. The other Vehicons then saw that coming out of the ship was a white, yellow and blue Autobot with the symbol on his left torso, a pair of water turbines on his shoulders and a head with a curve-edged helmet piece.

"If you're trying to ruin my day, you're going to have to try harder." Seaspray said before he activated a mechanical snorkel around his mouth and a diving mask appeared over his eyes.

The Vehicons opened fire at Seaspray, who ran to both his sides and avoided them before leaping up and dropping a slam punch onto a Vehicon, taking him right out. Another Vehicon tried attacking him from behind, but Seaspray grabbed his arm and threw him over to the ground. Seaspray then aimed his torpedo cannon at another Vehicon and shot him, instantly making him go offline before he grabbed an incoming Vehicon and chopped off his arm. The aquatic Wrecker slammed the Vehicon in the face with his torn off arm multiple times before slamming him away, making him crash in front of another Vehicon.

"You Cons have gone soft on me. Big mistake." Seaspray told his opponent, pulling out a pair of razor-sharp sickles with small holes in them from his back.

Seaspray charged at the Vehicon and dodged all his blaster shots before clashing at him with his sickles.

(Linebreak)

Onboard the Nemesis, Starscream and the other Decepticons were watching Seaspray's battle from the main deck's computer.

"So far, so good." Brawl said.

"Swiftly. Before the Autobots arrive." Starscream ordered Soundwave.

(Linebreak)

Meanwhile, Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Wheeljack and Jazz were waiting for Ratchet to activate the Ground Bridge.

"Open the Bridge, Ratchet! We're missing all the action!" Bulkhead stated.

Ratchet then managed to get the Ground Bridge turned on.

"I'll prepare sickbay." He said.

"Haha. Who for, the Cons? This is Seaspray we're talking about." Wheeljack reminded before he and the others charged into the Ground Bridge.

(Linebreak)

Once they jumped out the other side and landed on the desert, the Autobots pulled out their blasters to get ready for combat. However, they were surprised when they saw Seaspray using his sickles to grab a Vehicon by the back of his shoulders and then kick him away, making his arms get torn off in the process.

"Heheheh. I taught him that." Wheeljack said with a proud laugh.

Seaspray noticed Team Prime and he walked up to them, putting his sickles away.

"Did any of you think I could use some backup here?" Seaspray asked.

"What? And spoil the show?" Bulkhead questioned jokingly.

"From the looks of things, you handled yourself really well." Jazz complimented.

"But you missed one." Arcee said.

One of the Vehicons was indeed still alive and attempted to attack Seaspray, only for the aquatic Wrecker to blast him away a few yards with one of his torpedos. When he approached Team Prime, Seaspray deactivated his battle mask.

"If this is all the Cons have the offer, this planets in bigger trouble than I thought." Seaspray commented.

Bulkhead then smiled widely and rushed up to his old friend before giving him a bear bug.

"Sprays!" Bulkhead laughed in happiness, while Wheeljack simply walked up to them from the side.

The others were surprised at first, but then smiled for the two Wreckers reuniting with their comrade.

"Ha ha ha! Take it easy, you old wrecking ball!" Seaspray said with a big smile.

"Come on! We've gotta show you our base." Wheeljack told him. "You'll feel right at home."

"I sure hope so, you old Con crusher." Seaspray replied as Bulkhead set him back down.

(Linebreak)

Team Prime and Seaspray later rushed out of the Ground Bridge and made it into the base. The controls then sparked out of control again and caused the Ground Bridge to completely shut down, while Ratchet groaned annoyingly.

"Sprays, come here. Meet our other best buddies, Willow and Gus." Bulkhead introduced as said witch kids showed up on the stairs.

"They can wreck with the best of us." Wheeljack added with a smile.

"Hi." Willow said kindly.

"Nice to meet ya." Gus greeted.

Seaspray then approached them both.

"You two keeping Bulk and Jackie out of trouble?" He asked.

"We try. But trouble always finds us, anyway." Willow admitted.

"And since you're an Autobot, it's best for you to know that we're not humans." Gus told the Wrecker. "We're witches from a completely different realm."

"Witches? Another realm?" Seaspray repeated.

"We can explain everything later. For now, we're just glad to have you with us." Willow said.

"Any friend of Bulkhead and Wheeljack's is a friend of ours." Gus added.

"We're gonna get along just fine." Seaspray said to his fellow Wreckers before turning his attention to Optimus. "Optimus Prime. It's a privilege."

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

"I've been travelling from planet to planet, searching for signs of friend or foe." Seaspray explained. "Now, I find both."

"We are few, but strong. We have suffered losses, but we have grown." Optimus said, looking towards the Hexside Squad. "And we would relish welcoming a new member into our fold."

"I would be honoured, sir." Seaspray replied while smiling.

"Then let's get this party started!" Wheeljack stated in enthusiasm before slapping Seaspray on the back.

Bulkhead, Wheeljack and Seaspray then did a friendly chest pump with each other.

"Oh, joy." Ratchet muttered.

(Linebreak)

On the Nemesis, Starscream, Soundwave, Thundercracker, Skywarp and Brawl were walking down the hall to an occupied room.

"The moment Makeshift passed through their Ground Bridge, we lost his tracking signal." Thundercracker informed.

"Almost like they disappeared to somewhere that isn't Earth." Skywarp admitted.

"The Autobot base in no doubt heavily shielded to prevent us from locating it." Starscream said with a scowl before his expression calmed. "No matter. I have complete faith in Makeshift."

When they arrived in front of a door, it opened up to reveal an Autobot prisoner that was dangling by a pair of electric chains. It was the real Seaspray.

"Our inside man is already inside." Starscream proclaimed.

"That's really bad news for your friends, Autobot." Brawl told the captured Wrecker with a chuckle.

Seaspray heard them and managed to open his optics.

"Tell Megatron he's fragged in the head if he think Bulk and Jackie won't sniff out an imposter." Seaspray said while glaring at the Cons, causing Starscream groan annoyingly.

"Haven't you heard?" Starscream questioned. "I lead the Decepticons, now."

"You? Ha! You couldn't even lead a parade if you tried, Screamer!" Seaspray mocked.

This made Starscream quite mad at him and he prepared to strike Starscream with his claws, only for Soundwave to grab him by the arm.

"I don't think it's a good idea to kill him now, sir." Thundercracker told his superior. "He could give us useful information about the rest of his Wrecker friends."

"Yes. He may yet be of use." Starscream said begrudgingly as he yanked his arm away from Soundwave's grip, turning his attention back to Seaspray. "Makeshift is very good at keeping up appearances. He need only fool your friends long enough to open their Ground Bridge from within. So that I may finally learn the location of the Autobot base, and send in my strike team to stain it's floor with the spilled Energon of Optimus Prime."

(Linebreak)

At nighttime, the welcoming party for Seaspray had began and Amity was playing an electric guitar she bought a few days ago to add some catchy music for everyone.

"Come on, Sprays. Show us what you got." Wheeljack encouraged as he, Bulkhead and Seaspray were playing some sort of catching game with a giant metal ball.

Seaspray tossed the metal ball towards Bulkhead with all his might, causing the muscular Wrecker to catch it and slid back against the floor.

"Hahah, nice lob." Bulkhead complemented before tossing the ball to Wheeljack, who quickly catches it and threw it towards 'Seaspray'.

"So, what's that about?" Luz asked curiously as she, Vee, Arcee and Cliffjumper watched from the sidelines.

"It's called Lobbing. The favourite pass time on Cybertron." Arcee answered. "Especially among warrior class."

"Hey! Does anyone want to have a dance?" Amity asked as she kept strumming her guitar.

"How about you, Hunter?" Willow suggested, much to the blonde witch boy's surprise. "Can you show us if you've got any moves?"

"Yeah, let's see." Gus said in agreement.

"Okay. If that's what you guys want." Hunter replied before he stood up and began doing robot dance moves.

"Haha, of course. The robot." Vee said with a small laugh.

"Where do you think he learned that?" Willow asked Gus, who simply shrugged in response.

"That looks cool." Bumblebee said as he watched Hunter dance before mimicking his every move.

"How's about you let me join in on the fun?" Jazz asked enthusiastically before he started doing some cool breakdance moves.

Ratchet watched them as he was repairing the Ground Bridge controls and simply groaned. Luz then noticed that someone was missing from the base.

"Where's Optimus?" She asked.

"Went for a drive." Arcee answered casually.

"Prime's don't party." Cliffjumper added.

"Coming at you!" Bulkhead warned before he tossed the ball towards Seaspray.

However, the ball ended up bouncing off his hands and it crashed into the wall before landing on the Ground Bridge controls.

"You know, I am attempting to perform sensitive calibrations here!" Ratchet stated in annoyance.

"Sorry, Doc. I guess we're just a little charged up." Seaspray replied as he picked up the ball and walked back to the others, only to stop and take a look at the Ground Bridge. "You built this Bridge from scratch, Huh?"

"I did." Ratchet answered.

"That's quite a feat of engineering." Seaspray commented.

"Yes, it is." Ratchet said with a small smile.

"Is something wrong with it?" Seaspray questioned.

"I didn't care for the way it sounded on the last jump. I put it in shutdown." Ratchet explained, causing Seaspray to slightly frown.

"What if you need to use it?" He asked.

"Oh, I can't disrupt the de-fragged process without causing irreparable damage." Ratchet told him.

"So, uh… how long will the de-frag take?" Seaspray asked as he narrowed his eyes.

"A few hours, if we're lucky." Ratchet said. "Maybe longer."

"Huh." Seaspray muttered before walking back to the others.

(Linebreak)

Meanwhile, Starscream was starting to get impatient.

"Makeshift still hasn't opened their Ground Bridge, or otherwise transmitted their coordinates." Starscream stated.

"He's probably just waiting for the right moment." Brawl replied. "I mean, it's not like the Autobots are ever going to suspect anything."

"Looks aren't always deceiving, Brawl." Thundercracker told him.

"Indeed." Starscream said in agreement. "His disguise may be flawless, but he won't fool the Autobots forever."

(Linebreak)

Back inside the base, Bulkhead and Wheeljack were telling the Hexside Squad some stories about Wrecker missions.

"So there we were, no communications, low on Energon, surrounded by Cons." Bulkhead explained. "So, what does Seaspray do?"

The children listened closely to hear what they were gonna say as Wheeljack chuckled.

"Tell 'em, Sprays!" The swordsman Wrecker encouraged.

Everyone looked towards Seaspray, who was leaning back against the platform and was silent for a little bit.

"Well… what I do best." Seaspray told them with a thumbs up.

"Heheh! He fires his last torpedo straight into the primary heat exchanger!" Bulkhead answered.

"Really? It must've caused a huge explosion for the Cons." Willow said with an impressed smile.

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

"The joint went supernova!" Wheeljack stated.

"Man, that's sounds amazing!" Gus remarked in amazement.

"Yeah, I'm still picking shrapnel out of my backside." Bulkhead admitted, reaching down to his lower area.

"I'm not surprised, given the size of your backside." Cliffjumper joked.

"Good one, Cliff." Bumblebee complemented, while Arcee and Jazz simply chuckled.

However, Seaspray wasn't paying attention and kept his focus on Ratchet repairing the Ground Bridge.

"There it is, Seaspray's signature." Wheeljack said, bending down to the kids. "One torpedo, one shot."

But then, he and Bulkhead noticed that their 'friend' wasn't paying attention.

"Hey, you alright?" Bulkhead asked, waving his hand in front of Seaspray's face and getting his attention.

"What?" Seaspray questioned.

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

"What do you mean by that?" Seaspray asked confusingly.

"I don't know, you seem… quiet." Wheeljack admitted, sounding a little concerned.

"Ah. I've been riding around in my ship for too long." Seaspray said. "I should probably get out into some open space before I get stir-crazy."

"We have patrol in the morning. You can come with." Wheeljack told him.

"Let's go now." Seaspray suggested.

"And break up the party?" Bulkhead questioned. "Come on! The gang's loving you!"

"You've gotta tell them about the battle of Darkmount Pass!" Wheeljack stated.

"You two tell them. You're better at it." Seaspray said simply as he turned towards the Hexside Squad. "How about if Willow and Gus here show me around your base?"

"Oh. Yeah sure, Sprays." Bulkhead replied, chuckling sheepishly. "Go ahead."

"We don't mind." Wheeljack assured.

"Alright, time to start the tour." Willow said.

She and Gus stood up and their walked into the storage hallway with Seaspray by their side.

"So, does your name mean you usually battle on water?" Gus asked curiously. "How many other Wreckers are there? Have you ever battled enemies that aren't Decepticons?"

Once the three of them were gone, Arcee, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper and Jazz looked to each other as they thought Bulkhead and Wheeljack were feeling depressed at the moment.

"You two okay?" Jazz asked.

"Yeah, just… out of sorts, I guess." Bulkhead answered.

"Don't tell us that you're both jealous." Arcee replied.

"That Willow and Gus are making a new friend?" Wheeljack questioned rhetorically. "Come on, that's just crazy talk."

He and Bulkhead then looked in the direction where Willow, Gus and Seaspray left with suspicious frowns.

"Something… something's just not right about Seaspray." Bulkhead told his comrades.

"Really, you two? That's what you're concerned about?" Vee asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I've gotta admit, I don't see why that's bad." Hunter admitted confusingly.

"Bulkhead, Wheeljack, you two shouldn't be concerned just because Seaspray's not acting like he usual does." Luz said.

"Yeah, everybody changes sometimes. Mostly for the better." Amity added, knowing how she's changed into a better person due to Luz's presence in the Boiling Isles.

"The kids are right. He's travelled galaxies. You both haven't seen him for centuries." Cliffjumper said.

"He could just be rocket lagged or… well, Bots do change, you know?" Arcee asked, giving the two Wreckers a reassuring smile.

"Not Sprays." Wheeljack replied.

(Linebreak)

Meanwhile, the real Seaspray was still locked up on the Nemesis and groaned as he tried to get free from his restraints. A lone Vehicon inside the prison room walked up to him and then aimed a blaster at his face.

"You're not going anywhere, Autobot." The Vehicon said firmly.

The Vehicon then pulled his blaster away and was about to return to his post, only for Seaspray to smirk and suddenly grab his head with his legs, making him fire his blaster aimlessly.

"Blah, blah, blah." Seaspray said.

He crushed the Vehicon's neck with his legs and aimed his blaster towards the control panel, deactivating the electric chains and letting him land on the floor. Seaspray then started moving to find a way off so he could warn Team Prime about the Decepticon who replaced him.

(Linebreak)

In the base, Willow and Gus continued to show 'Seaspray' around the base.

"So, that's pretty much it." Willow said. "Energon stockpiles, power generator, armory."

"Everything you need for a fight against some Decepticons." Gus commented.

"Where's this bunker located, exactly?" 'Seaspray' asked while looking around.

"Sorry, but that kind of information is classified." Gus told him, placing his hands behind his back as the imposter gave him a confused expression.

"He's just kidding. It's outside of Gravesfield, Connecticut." Willow explained, smiling kindly. "But I don't expect that to mean much to you."

"I can't say that it does." 'Seaspray' replied. "So, anyway out of here besides using the Ground Bridge?"

"Why? You're not planning to leave already, are you?" Gus asked.

"No, I'm just… curious." 'Seaspray' answered, putting on a small smile.

"Okay. Just follow us and we'll show you." Willow instructed.

She and Gus then walked under 'Seaspray' and they all headed back towards the main room. Speaking of which, Ratchet had nearly finished repairing the Ground Bridge as the others were busy talking about 'Seaspray's' strange behaviour.

"Almost there." Ratchet said to himself.

"Look, Bulk and I know Seaspray better than anyone." Wheeljack told the others.

"We understand, Wheeljack." Amity assured. "You've been fighting alongside him and the other Wreckers since the war started. But, you don't really have proof that Seaspray isn't the Bot you say he is."

"Amity has a good point." Jazz agreed.

Before any of them could reply, 'Seaspray' showed up with Willow and Gus by his side.

"Hey. What're you guys talking about?" 'Seaspray' asked.

"We were just telling the gang all about you and us, at the battle of Darkmount Pass." Bulkhead answered.

"That's a heck of a story." Seaspray commented.

"Yep. Tell it." Wheeljack replied, narrowing his eyes as the area started to get a little tense.

"Maybe later. How about we all find Seaspray a vehicle mode so he can come on a joyride with us?" Gus suggested.

"I like that idea." Willow agreed. "It should definitely be an aquatic vehicle."

"Willow, Gus, stay out of this!" Bulkhead ordered, much to everyone's surprise.

"Bulkhead, Wheeljack, easy." Arcee replied calmly.

"No need to get riled up, you two." Cliffjumper assured.

"Look, I'm not sure that I…" 'Seaspray' began to say.

"Tell it!" Wheeljack demanded.

"…Fine. You want to live in the past, boys?" 'Seaspray' asked in defeat as the Hexside Squad turned their attention to him to hear 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 in their arsenal. Me, Bulk and Jackie engaged the enemy and left them for scrap. Then I made us a way out, using their backsides as stepping stones to get across the molten metal. Isn't that how it happened?"

"Yeah. That's exactly how it happened." Wheeljack replied.

"Except for one little thing…" Bulkhead admitted, making the imposter's eyes widen in surprise. "We weren't there."

"What?" Ratchet asked as he heard them, slightly surprised.

Everyone else had their own surprised expressions from hearing that Bulkhead and Wheeljack weren't in the battle of Darkmount Pass, while the fake Seaspray narrowed his eyes frustratingly as he knew that he was now exposed.

"We already left the Wreckers to join up with Optimus." Wheeljack said with a glare. "But you wouldn't know that if all you did was access Seaspray's public service record."

"Guys, wait. What do you mean by-Woah!" Willow yelped as she was suddenly grabbed by the Seaspray imposter.

"Willow!" Bulkhead and the Hexside Squad exclaimed.

The other Bots tried to grab him, but the imposter shoved through them and made his way to the Ground Bridge controls.

"Stay back! Or I'll squeeze her into pulp!" Makeshift threatened as he switched to his normal voice, holding Willow in his grip.

Everyone looked on in worridness for the Plant witch girl's safety, while Bulkhead and Wheeljack glared at the Decepticon who tried impersonating their friend. Makeshift glared towards Ratchet, who held his hands up to show he wasn't going to do anything.

"Seaspray, what're you doing?!" Willow questioned.

"Yeah! Did the Decepticons brainwash you or something?!" Gus asked rhetorically.

"Kids, stay back! He's an imposter!" Bumblebee warned.

"An imposter?!" Hunter repeated in surprise.

"Yeah! That ain't Seaspray!" Jazz answered.

"Decepticon coward!" Wheeljack scowled angrily.

"Let the girl go and face us!" Bulkhead ordered.

"Don't fret. Plenty of fighting to come." Makeshift assured with a smirk.

"Is there even a real Seaspray?!" Luz asked.

"Oh, indeed. And I expect Lord Starscream is making sport of him." Makeshift answered, much to Bulkhead and Wheeljack's concern.

(Linebreak)

Speaking of Seaspray, he was currently climbing his way up the Nemesis to reach the top as Starscream was also there with Soundwave, Thundercracker, Skywarp and the Vehicon troops. Brawl was staying on the main deck to pilot the ship.

"Are you certain we are at the coordinates you supplied to Makeshift?" Starscream asked, loosing his patience.

"We double checked it, sir, and these are the right coordinates we sent hours ago." Thundercracker told him as Soundwave simply nodded in agreement.

"Then what is taking him?" Starscream questioned rhetorically.

"Maybe they gave your pal such a hero's welcome, he got all soft inside and decided to switch sides." Seaspray said as he walked towards them and made his presence known, activating his battle mask.

"Oh, look. The prisoner's here to receive his early beating." Skywarp snickered, while Starscream scowled as he was surprised the Wrecker managed to escape.

"Do you not see that you are vastly outnumbered?" He asked.

"I see a bunch of scrap-heads who're probably gonna enjoy watching me pound some dents into that ugly mug of yours." Seaspray replied insultingly, cracking up his knuckles.

"Ugh! Destroy him!" Starscream ordered angrily.

The Vehicons rushed towards Seaspray and fired their blasters at him, while the Autobot Wrecker pulled out his duel sickles and charged at them with a loud shout. He used his sickles to deflect the blaster shots and make them hit the Vehicons in their chests.

(Linebreak)

In the base, Makeshift saw that the Ground Bridge was finally repaired as he still had Willow in his grip.

"About time." Makeshift said with a satisfied smile before he activated the Ground Bridge.

(Linebreak)

Seaspray kept on charging at the Vehicons and deflecting their blaster fire with his sickles, but then Thundercracker and Skywarp stepped forward and aimed the missiles on their wrists towards him.

"Try to block this, Auto-scum!" Thundercracker shouted as both Seekers fired their missiles.

Seaspray was unable to react and he got blasted back by the missiles, skidding across the metal surface of the ship. When some Vehicons charged forward to attack him, Seaspray swiftly sliced them apart and then leaped off one of them before nailing Starscream in the face, making him fall down.

When he noticed Thundercracker and Skywarp tried to fire their blasters at him, Seaspray immediately jumped up and swung his sickles behind his back before shifting his hands into torpedo launchers and firing two of them at the Seekers, landing a direct hit on both of them. Seaspray then landed back down and noticed more Vehicons were coming, but then he looked behind to see the Ground Bridge.

"Well, how about that?" Seaspray asked himself.

At the same time inside the Autobot base, Makeshift made his way over to the Ground Bridge as Willow struggled to escape his grip. Everyone cautiously approached the shapeshifting Decepticon, making sure they weren't close enough to Willow wouldn't be harmed.

"Let's get this party started!" Makeshift stated with a smirk.

But then, Seaspray jumped out of the Ground Bridge and he kicked Makeshift from behind, causing him to drop Willow and crash against the platform. Hunter quickly jumped up to Willow and caught her, setting her down once they got back on the floor.

"Thanks, Hunter." Willow said kindly.

"No problem." Hunter replied, blushing slightly.

The Hexside Squad and Team Prime then turned their attention to Seaspray, knowing that it was the real him.

"Are you the real Seaspray?" Amity asked, wanting to be extra sure.

"You know it, kid." Seaspray nodded.

"Thank Titan for that." Gus said, sighing in relief.

"Anyway, I'd close that door before the bad company arrives." Seaspray told everyone, referring to the Decepticons on the other side of the Ground Bridge

Thundercracker and Skywarp helped up Starscream as the self-proclaimed Decepticon leader had a bit of Energon leaking from his mouth. The three of them then saw the Ground Bridge in front of them.

"There's our ticket to the Autobot's sanctuary!" Skywarp stated.

"Enter the Ground Bridge, now!" Starscream ordered.

The Vehicons ran towards the Ground Bridge, only for it to disappear before they got reach it. Starscream yelled in fury, while Thundercracker and Skywarp simply facepalmed in annoyance.

Meanwhile, a fully-recovered Makeshift activated his own battle mask and pulled out exact copies of Seaspray's sickles. He and the true Seaspray circled around each other with their weapons in hand, while everyone else stood aside to watch. Bulkhead attempted to give Makeshift a good pounding, only for Seaspray to halt him.

"This faker is all mine." Seaspray said.

After a few more seconds of staring each other down, Seaspray and Makeshift began clashing with each other by swiping their sickles with quick skills.

"Which one is the real Seaspray?" Vee asked.

"No idea. They look exactly the same." Amity replied with a shrug.

"Uh… I lost track!" Gus stated, having trouble figuring out who is who.

As the battle continued, Makeshift managed to knock one of Seaspray's sickles out of his hand. But then, the aquatic Wrecker was then able to grab Makeshift by his hand and then knee him in the face, causing the imposter to drop one of his sickles and allow Seaspray to grab it. Before Makeshift could try to counterattack, Seaspray smacked him down hard and made him fall down onto the ground with a painful groan. Seaspray pointed his left sickle towards him to show his victory.

"That's our Sprays." Bulkhead said with a proud smile.

"Always coming out ontop." Wheeljack commented.

As Makeshift fell unconscious, Seaspray deactivated his battle mask and put his sickles away before turning towards Ratchet.

"You, hit the switch. It's time to take out the trash." Seaspray told him as the Autobot medic nodded and went towards the Ground Bridge controls.

The aquatic Wrecker then looked at Bulkhead, knowing what he wanted to do with his imposter.

"All yours, Bulk." Seaspray told him.

"Hold up. How's about we give this Shifter a little goodbye gift?" Wheeljack suggested with a smile.

"I like what you're thinking, Jackie." Bulkhead agreed as the two of them approached Makeshift.

On the Nemesis, Starscream was pacing around in aggression before he and the other Decepticons saw the Ground Bridge suddenly reappear.

"Do you think Makeshift turned it back on?" Thundercracker questioned, earning a shrug from Skywarp.

"What are you waiting for?! Go!" Starscream ordered the Vehicons, who all immediately rushed into the Ground Bridge.

On the other side, Bulkhead carried Makeshift towards the entrance of the Ground Bridge and spun him around before tossing him straight in. The Vehicons inside the Bridge noticed Makeshift flying towards them and they quickly retreated out of it, causing the shapeshifting Decepticon to end up crashing onto Starscream.

Everyone in the base watched from their positions with satisfied smiles, glad that the Con who had been impersonating Seaspray was finally out.

"Nice lob." Seaspray said to Bulkhead with a kind smile.

The Ground Bridge then vanished on the Nemesis as Starscream quickly stood up with Thundercracker and Skywarp by his side.

"Well, that plan completely failed." Thundercracker muttered annoyingly.

"I told you we should've increased security on that cell." Skywarp replied.

"Please tell me that you at least learned the location of their base." Starscream said to Makeshift, who also recovered from his fight with Seaspray.

"Indeed, Lord Starscream." Makeshift answered. "It is in a hidden bunker, just outside of…"

However, Starscream started hearing beeping noises and he looked down to see something attached to Makeshift's midriff. It was one of Wheeljack's grenades and the timer was about to go off.

"Woah! Back, back, back!" Starscream yelled fearfully as he ran away and transformed, flying into the sky.

"Wait for us!" Thundercracker called out as he and Skywarp noticed the grenade, too.

"We're not getting deactivated like this!" Skywarp stated in desperateness before they both transformed and flew after Starscream.

Makeshift then looked to his midriff and he noticed the grenade, which was now in the red zone and ready to blow.

"Oh no." Makeshift muttered before he was then consumed by the explosion, along with all the Vehicons near him.

"MAKESHIFT! YOU FOOL!" Starscream yelled as he, Soundwave, Thundercracker and Skywarp flew into the clouds.

The sun was beginning to rise up and shine down onto the Autobot base, while the party from earlier was now being resumed. Amity played her guitar as her friends, Bumblebee and Jazz danced to the music, while Arcee and Cliffjumper simply watched.

Ratchet could only groan in annoyance as he was fixing up Seaspray's ship. Optimus, Bulkhead and Wheeljack were also addressing the aquatic Autobot.

"It's like a recurring nightmare." Ratchet muttered.

"Now that you're part of Team Prime, we need to pick out a vehicle mode for you." Bulkhead told his old friend.

"I've got a few ideas and they all involve the planet's oceans." Wheeljack admitted, nudging Seaspray on the arm.

"Uh… about that, guys. Now that my ship's all fixed up, I'm itching to know… what else I might find out there." Seaspray admitted, making both Wreckers feel depressed by what he meant.

"Wait, you're leaving?" Willow asked disappointingly as the Hexside Squad approached them.

"But, why?" Gus questioned.

"Well… because some Bots never change." Bulkhead said, chuckling a bit.

"And, that's usually not a bad thing." Wheeljack assured with a smile. "Not when you're a Wrecker."

"I mean, this can't be goodbye." Luz reassured as she and Hunter placed comforting hands on Willow and Gus respectively. "Just 'See you later'."

"Seaspray, know that you'll always have a heaven here." Optimus said kindly, earning a nod from the aquatic Wrecker.

"Sprays never stays." Bulkhead replied, pulling in his friend.

"But he always comes back." Wheeljack finished.

The three Wreckers then shared one last fist bump with each other to say goodbye.

Outside the base, Team Prime and the Hexside Squad had just taken Seaspray and his ship to a place where they could take off.

"There's room for two in my ride, boys. Even with a backside like yours, Bulk." Seaspray said, offering to bring his friends along for the ride. "Who knows who we might find out there? Maybe some of the old crew? We could bring the whole band back together and get back to doing what we do best."

Bulkhead and Wheeljack liked that idea. But then, they looked down to see Willow and Gus lowering their heads sadly as they figured they would say yes to Seaspray's offer, while their friends tried to comfort them.

"Heh. Sounds like fun, Sprays." Bulkhead replied.

"But, our ties are here now." Wheeljack admitted, smiling at his human partner with Bulkhead doing the same. "With them. With Gus."

"And Willow." Bulkhead said.

Willow and Gus lifted their heads back up and smiled when they heard both Bulkhead and Wheeljack were staying with them. Seaspray nodded in understanding before turning to the two young witches.

"If anything happens to my two favourite Wreckers, I'm coming after you two." Seaspray warned with a jokingly smile.

"Don't worry. We'll take care of them." Gus assured. "That's a promise."

"Now, say cheese." Willow said as she pulled out her Scroll.

The Plant witch girl then took a picture of all three Wreckers as a way to show that they'll never be apart from each other.
