3rd Person POV

On a golf course just outside Haven, a lawn maintenance man smiles proudly at a job well done and drives away in his golf cart. When he's away, a figure jumps out of the water and lands on the grassy field. The figure is a Decepticon that looks like a two legged lobster with claws for hands and his eyes look a little.... crazy. The Con laughes and exclaims to himself.

????: Yes! Three bodies of water crossed in twelve-nanocycles. This planet is no match for....

He doesn't get to finish his monolouge before the sound of stampeding footsteps is heard and getting closer. He turns and sees the entire Dinobot team charging for him. Swoop transforms into his Dinobot mode and launches into the air, while Paddles transforms and dives into the lake. Sludge, Snarl, Slam and Grimlock fan out to surround the Con. Slug and Slash charge straight for this Con.

The Decepticon responds by firing a laser from his mouth, Slug sees this and lowers his head and tanks the laser. The Con's laser slowly brings Slug's charge to halt, the two struggled, until the laser finally sends Slug flying backwards and landing on Swoop causing both to crash to the ground. Slug manages to recover and roll onto his feet, but Swoop is seen smushed into the dirt like a cartoon character.

Swoop: *muffled groan*

The Decepticon starts to celebrate and exclaims.

????: Whoo Hoo! Four more Autobot take-downs and I'll hold the record.

Grimlock's towering figure appears behind the Con and he says.

Grimlock: Bad news for you, Bisk. We Dinobots.

The Con turns around and looks up at Grimlock but is kneed in the chin before he can react. Bisk is launched up in the air and lands hard ruining the grass more. Bisk recovers and sees Snarl and Slam on either side of him, he then says...

Bisk: Fine. I'll own the record for Dinobot take-downs.

Snarl charges first, but Bisk is faster and uses his laser breath to send Snarl stumbling backwards to regain his balance. Bisk then dodges Slam's tail strike and does the same to him, but only dazes Slam.

Slash runs in and uses her superior agility and speed to dodge and strike at Bisk multiple times. Slug joins in again but Bisk manages to block all of their simultaneous attacks with his claws. Bisk laughes and exclaims.

Bisk: Double-defense mode. I am a master at this!

Grimlock watches and sighs angrily.

Grimlock: Me Grimlock helped save universe from Starscream, Megatron and Dark Energon. Me will not be beaten by a gamer nerd!

Grimlock uses his comm link and tells the team.

Grimlock: Swoop, Slash, Paddles. Cascade attack with Grimlock. Sludge. Splashdown attack. Go!

Swoop and Slash take turns blasting Bisk while circling him. Grimlock pulls out his blaster and Paddles rises from the earth with her Semblance and uses her own fiery breath attack to fire at Bisk from opposite sides. Bisk is too caught up in his "perfect" defense and mocks the Dinobots by saying.

Bisk: Ha! You think I don't know how to defeat this attack?!

Suddenly, Slash and Swoop scatter as the sound of very heavy footsteps are heard from behind Bisk. The Decepticon looks too late at Sludge already reared back onto his hind legs as he yells...

Sludge: CANNONBALL!

Sludge brings his front feet down. With the weight and momentum behind it, the impact causes a huge dust cloud and a tremor that could be felt for miles. Everyone recovers from the impacts shockwave, Sludge is then seen taking his foot off of Bisk and the group sees him as flat as a pancake, but still very much alive.

Swoop: Whoo!

Grimlock: Another prisoner for looney bin. Good job Dinobots.

The camera cuts to Grimlock back at base talking into the camera and says.

Grimlock: Team is starting to work a bit better in the field. Though there's still the matter of Paddles being a mole. But keeping this a secret except to Snarl, will help everyone show Paddles what real family and friendship looks like. Me hope.

The camera switches back to the Amity Satellite and Sludge is telling Wheelie about his Cannon Ball, while Grimlock and Ratchet put Bisk into a Stasis cell.

Sludge: Whoo! Bisk toss everyone around with big claws. Whoosh! Whoosh! *laughs* So me squish him with Dino Demolisher. It epic!

Wheelie was genuinely intrigued and envious of his giant companion.

Wheelie: That sounds so cool. I wish I could tag along... in a non-combative role, of course.

Sludge: No-what?

Slug: Too bad. You're too tiny to fight.

Ratchet talks to Grimlock as Wheelie droops his head in disappointment.

Ratchet: Having a Mini-Con in the field with you might not be such a bad idea.

Grimlock: What 'bout running things here?

Ratchet: Brains and I can run the computers just fine. Plus, Wheelie can do things that you can't.

Grimlock can see the argument Ratchet is trying to make, but tries to make a counter argument.

Grimlock: Scouting and able to fit in small spaces, good, but when fight break out, it too dangerous. Me can't fight and watch him.

Ratchet replies with.

Ratchet: Wheelie's more capable than you give him credit for.

Grimlock doesn't say another word but does tell Slug off for his rude comment.

Later that night, at a airplane parts warehouse, a new Decepticon appears, but the camera only focuses on his four yellow eyes.

Back at Amity Base, Brains gets an alert on the monitor and alerts Grimlock.

Brains: Grimlock!

Grimlock and Ratchet approach the Monitor as Brains explains.

Brains: A Decepticon prisoner signal, at an airfield in Anima.

Grimlock's eyes narrow as his mind prepares for the hunt. He turns to the Dinobots in the arena and shouts.

Grimlock: Dinobots! Transform and Charge!

Sludge: In here?

Grimlock groans to himself and turns to Ratchet.

Grimlock: Open a ground bridge.

Ratchet does so and the Dinobots charge through the portal. The group comes out to a road just outside the airfield. Grimlock radios Ratchet and asks.

Grimlock: Ratchet, you sure no humans here?

Ratchet: At this time of night? No, there shouldn't be anybody there.

Grimlock looked down at the airfield and soon said.

Grimlock: Swoop, eyes in sky.

Swoop: Got it, King.

Swoop transforms and takes off into the air.

Grimlock: Sludge, Slam, Snarl, hold perimeter. Nothing gets in or out.

Snarl: Sure thing, King.

Sludge scratches his head in confusion and asks.

Sludge: What a perimeter?

Grimlock rolls his eyes and says to the remainder of the team.

Grimlock: The rest of you, with me Grimlock.

Slug, Paddles, and Slash all transform and follow Grimlock into the airfield.

Grimlock: Split up. If you find Con, radio rest of the team.

Slash: Yes sir.

Paddles: Okie dokie.

Slug: Whatever.

The four split up in different directions, the camera follows Grimlock as he passes by several hangers, as he passes by a fourth one, he hears metal clanging on the floor. He turns around and sees some airplane parts being flung out of the hanger. Grimlock goes back and peeks inside and sees the fugitive Con tearing apart an airplane looking for something. Grimlock radios his team.

Grimlock: *whispers* Grimlock to Dinobots. Me found Decepticon. Rally on me.

Grimlock then steps into the hanger and readies his sword arm. The Con then is heard talking to himself.

????: Where are ya. Ya stinking-Aha!

The Con pulls out the piece he was looking for and exclaims.

????: There you are! You little beauty!

Grimlock then acknowledges the Decepticon.

Grimlock: End of the line, Con! Surrender or die.

The Decepticon turns and sees Grimlock's towering figure in the doorway, surprised at first, but the Con soon grows a confidant smirk. The Con simply places the part he was after on the ground, seemingly surrendering, but the Con then asks Grimlock.

????: Do you really think you can take us all on, Copper?

Grimlock quickly replies with.

Grimlock: Me King Grimlock know me can take you, scrap heap.

Grimlock then processed what the Con actually said and asks.

Grimlock: Wait, did you say, 'us'?

The Decepticon suddenly breaks apart into five different spiderbots and they all tackled Grimlock. Grimlock didn't fall over but he did groan in pain when the five spiders started stinging him with electricity.

Grimlock: *groans loudly*

Slash shows up first and tries to tackle one of the spiderbots, but is also stung and knocked to the ground. Slug and Paddles arrive and Slug says smugly.

Slug: Can't handle a few little spiders, Boss?

Grimlock groan as he tried to say.

Grimlock: See how....*groans* you like it!

One of the spider bots leaps onto Slug's face and starts stinging him too. Another does the same to Paddles and she groans in pain. The lead spider bot laughs a little as he grabs the part he was after, then tells the others.

????: Oi! Bring it in!

The other spider bots follow as the lead blows a hole in one of the walls of the hanger. Grimlock starts to recover from the stings first and sees the spider bots escaping with their prize.

Grimlock: No!

Grimlock gets up and tries to catch them as they go down a hole towards a man made tunnel. The lead spider bots mocks Grimlock by saying.

????: Down the hatch.

The Con laughs as Grimlock misses the grab and stares down the hole. The rest of the team show up as Grimlock curses himself angrily.

Grimlock: Scrap! Who is that Con?!

Back at Amity Satellite, Ratchet is going through the Alchemor prisoner manifest to figure out that exact question. Team RWBY are also in attendance.

Ratchet: He's a combiner, named Chop Shop.

Brains: A one-man heist crew with a list of crimes as long as Alpha Trion's beard.

Slug: Who?

Brains: Nevermind.

Ratchet: Either way, he is very accomplished.

Grimlock: So, he's up to his old tricks again on Remnant.

Brains: General Winter granted me access to the Solitas law enforcement database, and I found a string of unsolved robberies within an appropriate radius.

Brains pulls up a itemized list of the stolen property as well as looking through the hologram files themselves to make said list. Brains explains further.

Brains: At first, there didn't seem to be a pattern, you know, copper wire, kerosene, space heater, insulation, storage tanks, computer chips, and now an aircraft gyroscope.

The other Dinobots looked a little clueless as to what Brains was talking about, but Grimlock seemed to get it and asked.

Grimlock: What if you put all the stolen property together? Like Chop Shop building something?

Ratchet looked over the list, while Wheelie hovers in the background like he's being left out. Ratchet soon exclaims.

Ratchet: Hmm, put all these items together and there's only one thing Chop Shop would need all these parts for. A spaceship.

Slug: So, creepy wants off planet?

Swoop: He doesn't want to be our problem? Fine by me.

Grimlock: If Wall-Crawler gets off Remnant, there will no one else that can stop him from terrorizing other planets. Dinobots must stop him.

Ratchet looks over the list of items again and come to a conclusion.

Ratchet: There's only one item missing from this list, a fuel source.

Weiss chimes in as she pulls up schematics for a refinery factory. She then states.

Weiss: The Schnee Dust Company is the largest fuel manufacturer in the world. And this particular facility will have the appropriate amount of fuel Chop Shop needs to power his spaceship.

Yang remarked with....

Yang: *sarcastic* Is there anything your company doesn't own?

Weiss huffed and stuck her tounge out at Yang in response to her sarcasm. Grimlock chimes back in and says.

Grimlock: Weiss, Evacuate all humans and faunus from building. Dinobots, transform an-

Ratchet: Wait! Hang on! I have an idea.

The Dinobots groan, and Grimlock turns back to Ratchet and listens.

Ratchet: Last time, Chop Shop got the drop on you.

Grimlock: So?

Ratchet: Well, let's return the favor and let Wheelie scope out the facility and spot Chop Shop before you strike at him.

Grimlock looked a little unsure about this idea.

Ratchet: Just try this.

The scene skips to the fuel refinery facility at night. Weiss had instructed all humans and faunus to Evacuate. The scene focuses on a manhole cover, the cover is moved from underneath and Chop Shop's five Spider-bot's come up from the hole below. Chop Shop looks around until he spots a tanker truck and tells the others.

Chop Shop: Fill 'er up, boys. Real quick like.

Grimlock is with Snarl at one of the entrances to the refinery, Snarl then asks.

Snarl: When do you think we should tell the others about our... mole problem?

Grimlock: Not yet, Snarl. Paddles might not realize it yet, but she is finding her place here. Remember when Paddles scored you team winning touchdown in Dinobot football? Or the time she saved your butt while also catching that Crab-con thing?

Snarl couldn't outright deny it, but he then asked.

Snarl: But what about when Shockwave shows up again? She might betray us.

Grimlock: Grimlock need figure out what Shockwave has on her. Then we can better help her.

Grimlock ends their conversation when he presses his finger to his comm link and says.

Grimlock: Dinobots. Status.

Slash answers first.

Slash: *over comms* Paddles and Slash in position at the South entrance.

Slug checks in next.

Slug: *over comms* Slug and-

Sludge is quick to interrupt though and is heard from across the refinery.

Sludge: SLUDGE READY!

Slug hits Sludge on the head and almost yells back.

Slug: Sludge! Quiet!

Grimlock: Knock it off, now. Slam? Status.

Slam: *series of grunts*

Grimlock: Good. Swoop?

Swoop: In position. The spider-bots are filling a tanker and one of them is now acting as a lookout.

Grimlock growls to himself as their mission just got a little harder. He responds with.

Grimlock: Stick with plan. Wheelie ready?

Wheelie, who is attached to Swoop, was a little unsure about this plan still, but responds.

Wheelie: R-Ready as I'll ever be.

Grimlock: Swoop, deploy on your mark. We move when you two flush out Con.

Swoop: Copy that, King.

Swoop readies and aims, then counts down.

Swoop: Deploying Wheelie in 3... 2... 1.

Swoop then launches Wheelie towards the ground, which Wheelie manages to land without making too much noise.

Wheelie: I'm on the ground. Moving in.

Wheelie transforms into his toy truck mode and drives around until he hears Chop Shop talking to his other Spider-bots.

Chop Shop: Quick as you like, boys.

Wheelie creeps around the corner and deploys a camera on a pole and sees around the corner. He sees the Spider-bots surrounding a tanker truck with a hose connected between it and a fuel pump.

Grimlock: *over comms* See anything?

Wheelie responds, whispering.

Wheelie: Chop Shop is filling a tanker truck with fuel.

Grimlock: *over comms* Keep an eye on the guard. We're moving in.

Wheelie is quick to try and stop Grimlock.

Wheelie: Wait! If you attack now, with all this fuel around, the entire factory could explode, leaving humans without work or even hurting the city nearby.

Grimlock wants so badly to move in now and take out Chop Shop, but waits and hears Snarl ask.

Snarl: So, what? Do we let Four-eyes get away?

Grimlock tries to think and comes up with a plan.

Grimlock: No, we set trap. Ambush Four-eyes away from factory.

Wheelie: *over comms* How are you gonna do that?

The scene changes to a few minutes later as the main Spider-bot keeps a look out. Suddenly, the ground starts to rumble, the look out turns his head as he hears thundering footsteps getting closer.

Chop Shop: We got compan- OOF!

Slash: *Screeches*

Slash had sprinted in and tackled the look out off his perch, the other Spider-bots look but then turn their heads as Slug charges in towards the tanker truck.

Slug: *Roars*

The four Spider-bots stop fueling the truck and make a break for it. One of them climbs into the driver's seat and hits the accelerator and starts driving the truck away. Slug seems to miss the truck as it moves out of the way. The other Spider-bots hop on top of the tanker, while Slash pins down the lookout.

Slash: One suspect down.

Slug: *bellows*

Slug turned around and chased after the truck as it drove out of the factory ground, tearing through a security gate as it does.

Slug keeps chasing after the truck but is slowly falling behind as the truck gains speed on the road. The Spider-bot driving the truck grow a grin seeing Slug fall further behind.

Swoop: *Screeches*

The Spider-bot driving looks forward and up to see Swoop flaring his wings as he dives towards the truck in a mock divebomb. The Spider-bot turns the steering wheel hard and takes a hard left on the highway. The Spider-bot tries to take an on-ramp back to the highway. Suddenly, Grimlock, in his Dinobot mode, blocks the on-ramp and roars at the truck.

Grimlock: *Roars*

Spider-bot: Crikey!

The Spider-bot cuts the wheel hard with Grimlock in hot pursuit behind the truck. The Spider-bot looks at the rear view mirror and sees Grimlock's open maw closing in on the truck. Grimlock managed to catch up and hits his head on the side of the truck almost knocking it over. But the Spider-bot found another gear and the truck started to pull away and get ahead of Grimlock.

Grimlock: *Roars*

The Spider-bot chuckles as he thinks he's getting away. As they approach an overpass, Sludge appears on top of the overpass and hops down from it.

Sludge: Cannonball!

Sludge lands in front of the truck, stopping it in it's tracks.

Spider-bot: Scrap!

The Spider-bot tries to reverse but are stopped by Paddles rising from the ground thanks to her Semblance.

Paddles: Hehe! Red means stop.

The Spider-bot growls and yells to his companions.

Spider-bot: Bail out!

All the Spider-bots try to make a break for it to the right when a set of feet appear on either side of the screen, causing the Decepticon to stop in his tracks. The scene switches to Snarl and Slam blocking their way.

Snarl: Going somewhere?

Slam: *grunts*

Spider-bot: Back!

The Spider-bots crawl to the other side of the truck only to be stopped by Grimlock.

Grimlock: Surrender. Now.

The Spider-bots step back but then they all smirk and jump onto Grimlock's neck and face and start stinging him.

Grimlock: *groans*

Paddles: Get off Paddles' friend!

Paddles transforms into her robot mode and slaps two Spider-bots off Grimlock. Grimlock pulls himself together and bucks the other two off and they fall to the ground. Slug and Slash finally show up, Slash has the lead Chop Shop still unconscious in her mouth and Slug has Wheelie on his head.

Wheelie: Did we get 'em?

Grimlock transforms into his robot form and says arrogantly.

Grimlock: Yeah. We got 'em.

As Grimlock picks one up, Wheelie sees the Spider-bot start to come to and readies it's stinger.

Wheelie: King!

Wheelie jumps from Slug's head and onto Grimlock's shoulders and then tackles Chop Shop out of Grimlock's hand and to the ground. Chop Shop was a fair bit larger than Wheelie, but he still managed to hang onto the Spider-bot as Chop Shop bucked around. Wheelie transformed his right hand into a taser and tried to shock Chop Shop. The Decepticon, however, managed to grab Wheelie and toss him off.

Grimlock had aimed his blaster at the two minicons but didn't fire.

Slash: Grimlock, shoot him!

Grimlock: They move too much!

Wheelie managed a front flip and transformed into his remote truck mode sped up before turning around and speeding toward Chop Shop. Before they collided, Wheelie transformed and used to momentum to leap at the Spider-bot and pulled a wrestling move and pulled Chop Shop over his shoulder and slammed him on the ground. Wheelie unleashed his taser hand and shocked Chop Shop until he was knocked out. Wheelie stood almost triumphantly over Chop Shop with the Dinobots looking down at them. Grimlock holsters his blaster and grows a small grin under his faceplate.

Wheelie: Does that mean we won?

Slug approaches and pokes Chop Shop with his snout. Chop Shop merely responded with a weak groan, Slug then states.

Slug: Yup, he be out for while.

Sludge: WHOOOOOOOOO! WHEELIE FOR WIN!

Sludge bends down and gently pats Wheelie's head with his finger. Wheelie was a little embarrassed at first but then looked up at Grimlock and plopped down onto his rear and sighed saying.

Wheelie: Whew. That was fun, but I think I'll leave the heavy lifting to you fat Dinobots.

The other Dinobots laugh, Grimlock grabs and restrains Chop Shop before the entire team heads back to Amity Satellite.

Yang: Wait, wait, wait. You did what?

Wheelie just finished telling the story of his fight with Chop Shop to Team RWBY, and all the women are in disbelief.

Wheelie: Yeah, that's what happened. Just tackled Chop Shop and beat the sparkplugs out of him. Not something worth repeating mind you.

Snarl: Loathed to admit it, but Chop Shop might have got away if not for Wheelie.

Slug: Hmph! Me won't admit.

Slam: *series of grunts* *appreciative*

Sludge: Yeah! Can't spell team without a 'W'..... wait....

The humans laugh and the Dinobots join in as well. The camera then pans right to focus in on Ratchet and Grimlock making sure Chop Shop is secure in his stasis pod.

Ratchet: The little minicon did good after all, eh Grimlock?

Grimlock: ........ Didn't do bad.

Weiss is then heard off-screen.

Weiss: Oh! I almost forgot!

Yang responds and asks

Yang: What is it, Ice Queen?

Weiss: We have somewhere we all need to be.

The camera cuts to Team RWBY and the Dinobots watching something from a distance, hidden by abandoned apartment buildings. The group is looking at a disused football field where a group of kids and Weiss and Steve's oldest son, William, who is 12, is playing with the kids made up of faunus and humans.

Slam is off to the side wagging his tail happily like a giant metal dog, whilst Sludge and Slug fight over the binoculars.

Sludge: *chuckles*

Slug: Come on! It's my turn! Me wanna see!

Grimlock notices the kids on the field and quiets down his team.

Grimlock: Hey! Quiet! It crunch time.

The group watch in anticipation as William yells out.

William: Hike!

The play starts with a bigger kid hiking the ball behind him to a girl with rabbit ears. The girl then passes the ball to William, who then kicks the ball 30 yards and makes a field goal.

The kids all cheer for William's awesome kick, followed by cutting back to the hidden Dinobots, who also started cheering. Weiss could barely contain her excitement and was extremely proud of William's accomplishment.

The camera then cuts to Grimlock talking into the camera in the kind of Dinobot office area.

Grimlock: Me Grimlock slowly learning that every team member has their place and all are equally important to teamwork. Grimlock out.
