Rock of Ages - Def Leppard
Heavy metal pounded through the speakers, awakening Dean and Sam as the seats righted themselves. The boys stretched and groaned, Dean doing so with a huge smile on his face. "Damn. That was the best sleep I've gotten in a while."
::Glad you two slept well.:: Sam looked to the radio as their faces fell. Metallicar sounded tired, worn out.
"Something wrong Baby?" Dean asked, rubbing the door. He was also trying to keep his mind off the fact that they were on a plane, flying over the ocean, with two vehicles and seven marines. Cue minute panic attack.... Metallicar shuddered slightly at the touch and seemed to relax.
::Just really need energon. Gas has been fine lately but I feel so drained.::
"Energon?" The engine roared to life, though sputtering slightly.
::Our food-source, lifeblood, ammo. It's what keeps us alive. Sadly, it's hard to find. Though our medic is currently working on perfecting a synthetic form.:: Ironhide answered, transforming as soon as he was off the plane. Sam and Dean climbed from their car, putting the blankets and pillows back into her subspace before shutting the doors and allowing her to transform.
She fell against Ironhide's side, looking worn out beyond belief. Sam and Dean followed behind as they limped forwards. "Ironspark!" She was suddenly tackled by a smaller femme, causing her to smile.
"Danniluk." She winced.
"This your mom?" Dean called. She turned to them and instantly scooped them up.
"These must be your charges!" The blue femme smiled.
"Okay. I have to ask. The doors." Sam spoke up, cutting everyone else off.
"Part Praxian on my opi's side." She muttered, not even thinking to correct the femme on her name.
"Chromia, sweetspark. Her designation is Metallicar. Easier for the humans to remember so they don't switch them on accident." Ironhide voiced.
"Oh alright." The boys were placed on Chromia's shoulders, enabling them to keep up with the bot's strides far better. "Ratchet already has the med bay prepped."
"Thanks Mia." Ironhide smiled before picking his creation up and walking forwards. Sam and Dean watched in shock as Chromia's legs transformed, turning into a wheel that allowed her to skate over and into the hangar.
"Chromia. Ironhide wants you in the med bay." She took off in the appointed direction, expertly avoiding a wrench that had pinged off of Ironhide's head.
"Stubborn glitch! You should have stopped at least for gas!"
"She said she was fine."
"She's your creation. What do you expect her to say?!" Another wrench that Ironhide barely avoided flew through the room.
"Remind me not to piss him off." The chartreuse bot turned on them, his blue eyes piercing into them.
"Too late." Chromia muttered.
"You two! Who the pit are you?!"
"We're with Metallicar." Sam defended.
"Bad enough I have all the others underfoot, now I have two more civilians."
"Easy Hatchet." Metallicar sat up, drinking a blue substance. The nickname earned her a sharp smack with another wrench. "Frag! Where do ya keep getting these slaggin' wrenches?!"
"Call me that again and you'll find out." The bot grumbled as she stood, looking down at Sam and Dean.
"Danni? Can I get my boys back?" She nodded and passed the two up to Metallicar. As she walked music began to play quietly around her. Dean instantly recognized the music as Sam groaned.
"Can't we listen to something newer?"
"Driver picks the music." Metallicar began.
"Shotgun shuts his cake hole." Dean finished. "Sammy I think I'm in love with a giant alien robot."
"Wouldn't doubt it. She's like you in almost every way. Though she's way to tall." Metallicar scoffed.
"You're just jealous because such a tiny vessel can't contain half of the awesomeness I am filled with." Dean held up a hand which Metallicar promptly tapped with one of her fingers.
"Unbelievable." Sam muttered.
"Woah! New bot!" Metallicar turned to see a brown haired boy walk towards them. "What's your name?"
"Metallicar. Creation of Ironhide and Chromia."
"Baby - back alright!" She set the boys down and lunged.
"Bumblebee!" She tackled the shorter bot and hugged him. "I missed ya little cousin!"
"Woah! - Warnings - be nice." She laughed and turned to Sam and Dean.
"Boys. This is Bee, Prime's adopted creation." She grinned. "Bee. These are my boys. Sammy and Dean." Bee began to laugh, as well as the boy.
"Sammy?" She knelt down and tilted her head in confusion.
"Yes. Why?"
"My name's Sam. Sam Witwicky." He turned to the other Sam with a smirk.
"Sam Winchester."
"Two - Sammy - W." Bee pointed out.
"He's right." Metallicar laughed and Dean chuckled.
"Well Sammy. I'll let you get aquainted with your name buddy. Baby's gonna show me around base." She transformed and Sam Witwicky stared in shock.
"That's your car?" The engine roared proudly as Dean climbed in.
"Damn right." He grinned as she took off, leaving marks on the floor. She swerved to avoid a wrench.
"Don't overexert yourself!" Ratchet yelled.
::Whatever ya say Hatchet!:: She turned around a corner, the wrench leaving a dent in the wall.
"Jeez. Doctor of doom much?" He grumbled.
::He's a few million years old. He's allowed to be grumpy.:: She teased. Dean chuckled and leaned back in the seats. ::So. Ya wanna see some badass guns?::
"You'd better damn well believe it!"

Metallicar stood with Dean by her side. Both looked shocked as Barricade spoke. "You heard me. I'm done. The Decepticons have done nothing but try to kill my mate and sparkling." He snapped.
"Mate?" Dean asked.
"Sparkling?" There was a tone in Metallicar's voice that sounded shocked.
"Yes. Please. Just let me send a comm to her and they'll be here within a few weeks." Dean looked up as the Impala let out a sigh. She then pressed something on her ear and spoke.
"Optimus. Barricade requests his one phone call now. And he wants to join us." She fell silent before nodding. "Affirmative." She walked over and keyed in the code.
"Thank you."
"One false move and ya die." He only nodded before following her from the room.
