Somewhere in the Arctic, Bulkhead and Hot Shot are wandering around the frozen wasteland. "Bulkhead can we leave? My circuits are starting to freeze up!" Hot Shot asked.
"I know it's cold Hot Shot, but there could be Energon here or something else." Bulkhead replied.
"Well we'd better find it soon." Hot Shot replied.
Just then, the scanner device Bulkhead was holding began to beep rapidly. "I'm picking up something. Whatever it is, it's close." Bulkhead said.
Bulkhead and Hot Shot both walked closer to the source and see a crater with a huge orb in the center of it. "It's not Energon." said Hot Shot. "Maybe it could be a weapon that could take out those Decepticons."
"Whatever it is, we should bring it back to the Ark." Bulkhead suggested.
Back on the Ark, Bulkhead and Hot Shot have brought the giant orb back on the ship. "The orb you brought is thawing out." Red Alert said. "By my estimate, it must have been on Earth for millions of years."
"Way longer than us then." Hot Shot admitted.
"Both of you remain where you are. You must go through a defrosting procedure to make sure the freezing atmosphere didn't damage your systems." Ratchet said as he started attaching blue wires to Bulkhead and Hot Shot.
"Yeah I know the process Ratchet. Ironhide, Arcee and I have been through this process back on Mount Everest." Hot Shot said.
"Let's just hope that whatever is in that pod is friendly." Cliffjumper said.
"If it's not, I'll happily dispose of it." Ironhide replied.
"You and me both Ironhide." Warpath joined in.
"Or it could be a weapon to take down those Cons." Sideswipe said.
"But not end up in the hands of the Decepticons." Blurr stated.
"Don't worry. Me Grimlock will put giant thingy in storage room." Grimlock said as he then carried the giant orb away.
"Ok Grimlock's got that covered." Blurr said.
"Hey let's head down to that Drive-in soon. I heard they're playing this giant monster movie called Godzilla." Hot Shot suggested.
"That will have to wait, Hot Shot. You still need to proceed with your check up." Ultra Magnus replied.
"Fine." Hot Shot sighed.
Just then Bumblebee, Mirage, Drift and Jazz drove into the area and they opened their doors to let the Louds, Santiagos and Clyde out.
"Hey guys." Leni greeted.
"Let me guess the weekend is here?" Blurr asked.
"You know it dude." Luna replied.
"We've got all the time in the world to hangout with you Bots." Ronnie Anne added.
"Now we're talking!" Ironhide said.
"I'll join you guys later, after Bulk and I go through our check up." Hot Shot said,
"We'll be waiting, Hot Shot." Bobby replied.
"Have you all been doing anything while we were absent?" Lincoln asked.
"Bulk and Hot Shot found a strange pod in what you humans call the Arctic." Cliffjumper replied. "We're not sure what's inside it."
"Let's hope it's something awesome like a super weapon." Bumblebee said as he transformed, along with Mirage, Drift and Jazz.
"There is no greater weapon that hope and determination." Drift said.
"So what's on the agenda for tonight?" Mirage asked.
"Movie night." Lola suggested.
"Perfect idea." Jazz said with a smile.
"Anything besides that movie with that snow queen." Arcee said.
"Yeah I can't stand that song and that snowman." Blurr agreed.
"How about one of those famous Marvel Lincoln keeps telling me about?" Bumblebee suggested.
"Fine by me." Jazz said.
"I vote Iron Man." Mirage said.
"No way! I choose Captain America!" Bumblebee argued.
"How about the Guardians of the Galaxy or the X-Men. They seem like cool dudes." Jazz suggested.
"What about Deadpool?" Sideswipe asked.
"Those all sound like good suggestions." Lincoln said.
"You can all watch a Marvel movie. I'm going to do some sightseeing." Lana said as she walked away.
"Suit yourself, Lana." Luan replied.
"Just don't touch anything!" Lori said.
"I won't! Lana called out.
"Let's hope she doesn't overload the Ark's engine core and make us all blow up." Wheeljack muttered.
"Lana isn't that much trouble." Lincoln assured.
"That's good at least." Wheeljack sighed in relief.
Meanwhile, Grimlock placed the giant orb inside a small storage room. "There." Grimlock said as he exited the storage room.
But then some banging noises were heard within the orb and something small bursted out of it.
Lana is walking around the Ark. "I wonder what else this ship has?" Lana said. Just then, she heard some small noises and turned around to see nothing there.
"Uh, hello? Is anyone there?" Lana asked. Lana walked towards the source of the sound. She looked around the corner and looks around. "If you're pulling a prank on me, Luan, I don't wanna go through it until April Fools." Lana said worriedly.
Something goes behind Lana and she quickly turns around. "Do you guys have a pet we don't know about?" Lana asked.
When Lana heard another noise behind her, she immediately turned around and yelped in surprise when she saw a small metallic creature in front of her. It had large purple eyes, a big spherical head and tiny legs.
"Wow. What are you?" Lana asked.
The creature tilts its head in confusion as it approached Lana, then a metal Rod fell to the ground and it gains the creature's attention and runs towards the rod. "Hey, where're you going?" Lana asked as she followed the creature.
The creature bites down on the rod and starts munching on it. "No don't! You'll choke on it!" Lana exclaimed.
But when the creature stopped eating, it was shown to be very fine and looked at Lana in a curious way. "Or…maybe not." Lana said, a little bit surprised.
The creature walked up to Lana and blinks. "I'm gonna call you Scrappy." Lana said. "Now come on I have some friends and siblings I want you to meet."
Scrappy made some enthusiastic clicking noises in response and began following Lana back to where everyone else was.
Back with the gang, they were watching Deadpool and they got to the part where Deadpool is explaining his origin story. "I like him already!" Sideswipe said.
"Yeah he's pretty funny. But what's with the metal guy?" Jetfire said.
"He is simply a supporting protagonist featured on this motion picture not suitable for infants." Lisa said as she was making sure Lily focused on watching baby videos on a tablet she brought.
"Maybe next time we can watch one of those Godzilla films." Hot Shot said.
"As long he doesn't crack jokes like this. I'm fine with that." Blurr said.
But suddenly, the lights and electronics in the whole room started flickering out of control. "What's going on?" Lincoln asked.
"That never happened." Wheeljack said. "I need to do a maintenance check up."
"Well this ship has been here for millions of years. Maybe your tech is out of date." Ronnie Anne said.
"Or you're just running out of power?" Clyde guessed.
"Hopeful, it isn't something too serious." Ratchet said.
Wheeljack walks towards a panel opens it up and pulls out an a circuit that was half eaten. "What in the world?" Wheeljack questioned.
"Don't tell me Charles did that." Warpath said.
"There's literally no way. Charles doesn't eat computer things." Lori replied.
"Neither does Cliff." Lola said.
"Well, that has to mean we're dealing with something different." Mirage said.
"But what?" Lucy asked.
"Hey, guys! I've just found a cool new friend!" Lana's voice called.
"Not now Lana, we're in the middle of something!" Ratchet said as he turned to Lana but his optics widened at the sight of Scrappy and he screamed.
When the other Autobots spotted Scrappy, they all yelled out in shock and fear before aiming their weapons at the tiny robotic creature with Lana still close.
"What give guys?" Lana asked.
"Scraplet! Scarplet!" Bulkhead cried out.
"How did it get on the ship?!" Jetfire questioned.
"What the heck's a Scraplet?" Lynn asked.
"The most dangerous vermin ever to crawl upon the face of Cybertron!" Ratchet answered in a scared way.
"They pick you apart from the inside out, going for the small, juicy bits first, fuse by fuse, circuit by circuit, until there's nothing left. And I mean nothing... not even your optics." Bulkhead warned.
"But Scrappy is so tiny." Lana replied.
"You don't know what that tiny thing is capable of, Lans!" Bumblebee replied.
"Guys, chill. You're getting scared about a tiny little robot with big eyes." Ronnie Anne said. "There's nothing dangerous about that."
Scrappy looks at the Autobots, it's mouth opened up revealing saw blades within it's mouth and lunged towards Ironhide.
"SCRAP!" Ironhide exclaimed before shooting his cannons at Scrappy.
Ironhide opened fire on the scraplet, but Scrappy dodged the shots and attacked Ironhide on the leg. Scrappy moved up to Ironhide's left arm, but that is when Bumblebee took out his stingers and tried to take out Scrappy.
"Keep still, Ironhide!" Bumblebee said as he fired his stingers at Scrappy.
Scrappy avoided the stinger shots and jumped towards Bumblebee, but Arcee kicked him away instantly. When the hungry Scraplet recovered and started charging at the Autobots again, Lynn smashed it to pieces with her signature baseball bat.
Lynn then runs up to Ironhide to check up on him. "You okay there Ironhide?" Lynn asked.
"Just a few bite marks, Lynn. I've endured worse before." Ironhide assured.
"Good." Lynn said in relief.
"Okay, I didn't see any of that coming." Lincoln admitted.
"That creature turned from a harmless robotic critter to a violent machine of death." Lucy said.
"We told you so." Wheeljack replied. "All Scraplets do is dismantle machinery and eat anything metal. Especially living metal!"
"And I was just starting to bond with Scrappy." Lana said sadly.
"Lana! That thing nearly ate Ironhide. Scraplets aren't meant to be pets!" Ratchet said.
"But if I know Scraplets there's never just one." Sideswipe pointed out.
"But here's the more important question. How did they get in the Ark?" Prowl asked.
"Lana where did you find that Scraplet?" Arcee asked.
"Just in the corridors." Lana answered.
The Autobots and Humans went towards where Lana found the Scraplet. "Wait this is near Grimlock dropped off orb." Grimlock said.
"This isn't just a pod. It's a Scraplet trap." Mirage said.
"Uh, an empty Scraplet trap." Bulkhead corrected.
"So this thing was basically filled with robot leeches?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"That is totes not nice." Leni said.
"They'll not just eat us whole. But the Ark as well." Wheeljack said.
"Then they'll attack Royal Woods." Clyde said.
"What do we do then?" Luna asked.
"We must destroy them all." Drift answered.
"We better hurry before Optimus comes back from patrol." Bulkhead stated.
"Our best option would be to split up into separate teams and terminate the Scraplets on site." Ultra Magnus said.
"Sounds simple enough." Lynn said as she patted her bat.
"We'll help out the best we can." Lincoln said.
"Yeah, we're not made of metal." Ronnie Anne added.
"That means those Scraplets buggers won't wanna make snacks out of us." Luna said.
"I'm still staying far away from them." Lola replied.
"Yes you are Lola. They won't attack you, but they will attack us." Mirage stated.
"And things get pretty messy when it involves Scraplets." Jazz added.
"Okay then, let's literally go on a bug hunt." Lori declared.
Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, Clyde, Lucy, Bumblebee, Mirage, Drift and Prowl were seen walking down another part of the corridors to find some Scraplets.
"I'm not seeing any of those little monsters." Clyde said.
"Yeah well Scraplets can hide anywhere. Waiting for the right time to strike." Bumblebee stated.
"Bumblebee is correct. You'll never know when Scraplets will attack." Mirage stated.
"We've just gotta keep our eyes and ears open, then we'll knew if Scraplets are coming." Lincoln assured.
"Yeah of course." Bumblebee replied.
Just then, the team heard some clanking noises and they all looked around cautiously. "The beasts have found us." Drift said, holding his katana tightly.
"Where that sound coming from!?" Mirage shouted.
"It's coming from the walls!" Bumblebee shouted.
"Get ready!" Ronnie Anne stated while holding a metal pipe.
"Scraplets we will welcome you to dark fate." Lucy said as she held up her metal pipe.
Just then, they heard metallic noises coming from a nearby grate opening and jumping out of it was a horde of Scraplets.
"Blast them!" Mirage yelled before shooting his rifle at the Scraplets.
Bumblebee and Mirage starting shooting at the Scraplets, while Prowl and Drift sliced the Scraplets with their bladed weapons.
Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, Clyde and Lucy helped out by hitting the Scraplets with their own tools, but they just kept on coming.
"There's no end!" Prowl exclaimed.
"Stand and fight!" Drift replied.
"Easier said that done!" Lincoln shouted.
Meanwhile Ironhide, Bulkhead, Arcee, Cliffjumper and Sideswipe were slowly scouting through the storage room.
"Can't believe we get to be your guardians for once." Lynn quipped.
"Don't get use to it. We'll be back to protecting you girls real soon." Arcee said.
"It's not like you guys are scared of something small." Cliffjumper said as he held his blasters as he shook.
"Not unless it's very creepy, like Lana's lizards." Lola whispered.
"I heard that!" Lana retorted.
"Take it easy, girls. Nothing bad's going to happen to any of us." Sideswipe assured.
Suddenly the lights went off and the team heard a high-pitched scream within the darkness before the lights came back on.
"Leni, was that you?" Lori asked.
"No way! I, like, don't scream unless I see a spider!" Leni protested.
"Well it wasn't me!" Lola stated.
"Arcee?" Lori asked.
"Wasn't me." Arcee said as the rest of the group looked at Ironhide, Sideswipe, Bulkhead and Cliffjumper.
"I'm totally innocent." Sideswipe said.
"Me too." Cliffjumper added.
"I don't scream, I shoot." Ironhide proclaimed before everyone turned to Bulkhead.
"Bulk, did you scream like a little girl?" Lana asked with a sly smile.
"No. Maybe." Bulkhead replied. "Can we talk about this later?"
"Fine, but we're not dropping it." Lynn replied.
The group continued their search for Scraplets. "There's no shame in admitting it Bulkhead." Leni said.
"Everybody's got an embarrassing side, pal." Sideswipe added before they started hearing some crawling noises.
"Those things are close." Cliffjumper said.
"I'm ready to blast these things to bits." Ironhide growled.
"Okay, everyone just relax and we'll all be…" Lori said until Bulkhead heard another crawling noise and blasted the walls out of fear.
The others rushed ahead in shock as Bulkhead then blasted the ceiling and caused a bunch of cables to land on him, causing him to scream like a girl again. When the team turned around, they were bewildered to see Bulkhead thrashing at the cables while screaming randomly.
"This is embrassing." Ironhide groaned.
"Bulkhead relax! It's just wires!" Lana said.
When Bulkhead heard this, he instantly calmed down and noticed that it really was a bunch of large wires instead of Scraplets. "Oh." Bulkhead chuckled nervously and step aside from the wires. "My bad." But when Bulkhead pulled on a cable, a bunch of Scraplets started falling down and he screamed again.
Elsewhere, Jetfire, Hot Shot, and Grimlock are walking down another hallway. "These Scraplets kind of remind me of those cats back home. They attack anyone on sight." said Bobby.
"They sure look like they're causing munch problems for us." Luan joked before laughing. "Get it?"
"Luan. This is a serious matter!" Jetfire exclaimed.
"Me Grimlock should have gone alone!" Grimlock growled.
"You never go alone! Have you ever seen any horror movie?" Bobby asked.
"Me Grimlock not watch movies, me fight Decepticons!" Grimlock replied.
"We're not fighting Decepticons, we're fighting Scraplets." Jetfire said.
"Poo poo, Gwimlock!" Lily added.
"I should have left that orb back in the arctic." Hot Shot said. "We wouldn't be in this mess."
"Don't blame yourself, Hot Shot. We'll get through this." Bobby assured.
"We didn't know that orb contained Scraplets." Jetfire said. "But we're going to get rid of them."
Just then, the group heard the sounds of metal being eaten from the distance. "Speaking of which…" Luan said.
"Get ready." Bobby said as he raised his pipe.
They walked towards the eating noise and saw it was coming from a vent in the wall. Jetfire cautiously approached it and grabbed the vent door before tearing it open, allowing everyone to nearly use their weapons until they saw there were no Scraplets.
"False alarm." Hot Shot sighed.
"Me Grimlock wanted a fight." Grimlock pouted. However, they started hearing metal noises again and they slowly looked up at the ceiling to see loads of Scraplets crawling on it.
"Crap." Luan muttered.
"Scrap!" Jetfire muttered.
The scraplets opened their mouth and lunged towards the group. "Me Grimlock ready to destroy!" Grimlock roared before he transformed into T-Rex form and attacked the Scraplets.
Grimlock breathes fire on the Scraplets, right when Jetfire and Hot Shot both opened up on the them. "Die! Die!" Jetfire shouted as he kept shooting.
"You might wanna stay back, Lily!" Luan said while bashing some Scraplets away.
Bobby smacked a few Scraplets with the rod until one of them starts munching on the rod. "Oh crap." Bobby said.
"This is the worst day of my life!" Jetfire yelled before a bunch of Scraplets collided with him.
Back at the main control room, Ratchet was working on repairing the Arc with Luna, Lisa Ultra Magnus, Jazz, Wheeljack, Warpath, Blurr and Red Alert standing guard.
"You sure you two don't require my assistance?" Lisa asked.
"We are fine Lisa." Ratchet replied annoyed.
"Just get everything fixed before those little vermin show up. I'm not in the mood to become a snack." Blurr said.
"We're working as fast as we can Blurr." Wheeljack said as he takes out his tools.
"Be weary, everyone. There's no telling where the Scraplets will appear." Ultra Magnus said.
"Ain't no way those things are getting the drop on us." Luna assured whole holding her guitar up.
"I like your enthusiasm Luna." Jazz said.
"Just save it for when we've gotta blow up those little things." Warpath said.
"You got it dude." said Luna.
That was when the group heard the same metallic noises as the others from other parts of the Arc.
"I think our little intruders are close." Red Alert said.
"Then let's bring the noise!" Warpath shouted as he took out his neutron assault rifle.
"Let's end this here and now." Blurr said.
As the group kept looking around, they didn't notice the Scraplets were on the walls behind them and they all looked at the Autobots with hungry intents.
"Bam! POW!" Warpath shouted as he opened fire.
But suddenly, the Scraplets jumped off the wall and they started hovering in the air.
Luna starting smacking some Scraplets with her guitar, Blurr began to shoot down some Scraplets, but they attacked Blurr.
"Blurr!" Ultra Magnus called before the Scraplets attacked him as well.
"It's just you and me Red!" Warpath shouted as he shot down some scraplets.
"They're swarming us everywhere!" Wheeljack yelled before a bunch of Scraplets swarmed him, making him fall down.
"Wheeljack!" Lisa called.
"Come and get some!" Warpath shouted right he gets swarmed by scraplets.
Ratchet and Red Alert ended up getting warmed by the Scraplets as well while Luna and Lisa kept attacking them, but the tiny creatures kept coming.
"The numbers they are in are numerous!" Lisa said.
"We can't hold them forever!" Luna shouted as she smacked some scraplets with her guitar.
"I am aware of that. But there is nothing we can do to eliminate them all at once." Lisa said.
Just then, the other Autobots, Loud siblings, Santiagos and Clyde showed up through the doors. The Autobots had a bunch of bite marks left by the Scraplets they encountered.
"Guys, you might wanna get those med kits." Sideswipe said.
"Yeah. We're leaking Energon like-Woah!" Bulkhead exclaimed as he and everyone else noticed the Scraplets.
"Won't this nightmare ever end?!" Bumblebee asked fearfully.
"Holy marinara sauce." Lincoln gulped.
"We're going to need a lot of bug spray." Leni said,
The Scraplets noticed the rest of the Autobots and started attacking them as well. "Get em off! Get em off!" Bulkhead shouted.
"This is not how Grimlock dies!" Grimlock cried out.
"We can't kill all these things at once!" Ronnie Anne stated, smashing a Scraplet with her foot.
"I'm open to suggestions!" Clyde called.
Lori noticed a nearby fire extinguisher and grabbed it before aiming it at the Scraplets. "Let's try this!" Lori said. Lori used the fire extinguisher on three Scraplets and they went offline from cold. "Wow that worked?"
"Guess these things have a bad case of cold shoulders." Luan replied as she chuckled.
The Louds, Santiagos, Clyde and even Autobots all groaned at Luan's joke. "But seriously. One fire extinguisher can't handle a whole swarm!" Ronnie Anne said.
"Unless we use ground bridge!" Lincoln said.
"And we can send them back to the Arctic where they'll instantly freeze!" Wheeljack added in realisation.
"Quick open the Ground bridge. Send them to their frozen hell!" Cliffjumper shouted.
"Hurry!" Arcee called, wiping some Scraplets off her arms.
Ratchet gets back up and tries to get while getting attacked by Scraplets and heads towards the Ground Bridge controls and puts in the coordinates for the arctic, the ground bridge opens up. "Ground bridge is open!" Ratchet cried out.
Bulkhead quickly gets up and shouts. "Come and get me scraplets!" He then runs through the Ground bridge.
"Bulk, no!" Lana called.
"Everyone, down!" Mirage ordered as he and the others ducked to avoid the incoming Scraplet swarm.
The scraplets all chased after Bulkhead through the Ground bridge, but once the cold air hits the scraplets. They immediately went offline and hit the snow.
"Phew. Glad that's over." Bulkhead said in relief.
"You okay over there, big guy?!" Bumblebee asked on the other side of the Ground Bridge.
"Besides the bite marks. I'm fine!" Bulkhead replied.
Once Bulkhead had gotten back to the Ark, the Louds, Santiagos and Clyde were cleaning away all the dead Scraplets that were left behind while their Autobot freinds laid back to heal from their injuries.
"Thanks for all of your help, young ones." Ultra Magnus said.
"You kids really held your own against the Scraplets." Jazz admitted.
"Don't mention it. Besides I had some prat ice with these cats back home." said Ronnie Anne.
"Too bad we couldn't keep these things." Lynn said. "You know drop Them off at the Decepticon base."
"We don't even know where their ship is." Ironhide said.
"So much for that." Lynn groaned as she picked up a dead Scraplet.
"I guess we're fortunate you all came here." Mirage said. "There's no telling what would've happened if you didn't."
"Don't mention it Mirage." Lincoln said. "The last thing we wanted is Royal Woods being on the menu."
Then they all hear Leni screaming. "Leni, did you find another Scraplet?" Sideswipe asked.
"SPIDER!" Leni screamed before she brought out a can of bug spray from nowhere and ran around frantically while spraying it. "Get it away! I think it's on me! Get it off! Get it off!"
"Did she just scream like a little girl?" Bulkhead asked.
"I think she did." Arcee answeted.
"It's not the first time this has happened." Lori said.
Just then, Optimus drove into the Ark and he transformed before seeing the mess everyone was recovering from.
"Is everything alright in here?" Optimus asked.
"We're fine, Boss Bot." Bumblebee replied.
"Just be lucky you weren't here." Wheeljack said.
"It's a long story." said Lincoln.
"If you want, we can inform you of everything later." Lucy said.
Bulkhead yelped at Lucy's appearing act.
"How the scrap does she keep doing that?!" Blurr asked shockingly.
