It had been years scene the war for Cybertron. Even though the war was over peace was something the planet still didn't have. Some of the Decepticons had change factions after the war and were now working with the Autobots since their side had won. But others were still up to their old tricks.

Some of the Autobots were currently on a mission to infiltrate a Decepticon base the team was made up of Springer, Arcee, Hot Rod, Smokescreen, and two Decepticons who had change sides Starscream and Knock Out.

The base in question was a space station floating right above Cybertron they didn't know what the Decepticons were planning but what ever it was couldn't be good. They were now on the station and had split up into pairs. Hot Rod and Smokescreen were covering one part of base. While Arcee and Knock Out were taking care of another and Springer was with Starscream.

"So what's the deal Arcee you've been giving me the could shoulder ever since Starscream joined our ranks?" Knock Out asked.

"Why did you have to invite him to join our team and I can't believe Optimus actually let him become an Autobot." Arcee told him. "Starscream can't be trusted just look what he did to Cliffjumper during the war."

"Scream's apologized like a thousand times and has told me he feels terrible about everything he did as a Con just like I feel bad about all the things I did in that faction." Knock Out said to her defending his friend.

"Well maybe we shouldn't be trusting you either." Arcee huffed at him.

"What do you mean I've proven myself haven't I?" Knock Out yelled back feeling hurt. "And your not the only one who lost a partner Starscream was a good friend to me during the war after I lost Breakdown." "And I want to hold on to any friends I have." Then they bump into Springer and Starscream.

"Good Springer let's trade dance partners." Knock Out said not wanting to spend another second talking to Arcee.

"Sounds great now I can work with a partner who actually deserves his Autobot insignia!" Arcee hissed before walking off with Springer. While Knock Out and Starscream went down the opposite hallway.

"I'm sorry I've caused friction between you and the Autobots haven't I." Starscream said with guilt in his voice. "I should have never joined. mech's like me don't deserve a second chance what I did is unforgivable and now I'm messing up your second chance."

"No your not it's only Arcee who has a problem with you." Knock Out reassured the seeker. "And me too as I just found out." He add with sad optics still feeling hurt by Arcee's last comment.

"You do deserve that insignia Knock Out and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." Starscream told the red medic pointing to a silver Autobot shield that Knock Out had painted on his shoulder after changing sides.

"You do to Starscream." Knock Out said back to his friend.

Then they got to a room where they saw what the Cons were working on in the space station it was a space bridge. Just then the new leader of the Decepticons Galvatron walked in.

"Well look who decided to show up have you two come to rejoin the Decepticons?" Asked Galvatron.

"Never!" Starscream and Knock Out both answered at once.

"Then I'll have to end you both." Galvatron hissed as he attacked them.

"What are you planning to do with the space bridge?" Asked Starscream as he and Galvatron continued to fight.

"I'm going to send an army to invade Earth and claim it for the Decepticons since we've lost Cybertron to the Autobots." Galvatron explained.

"We won't let you do that." Starscream spat at him.

"I'm afraid there's nothing you can do to stop me." Galvatron told the seeker.

Everyone else could hear the struggle going down over Starscream and Knock Out's com-links that they'd both forgotten to turn off. So everyone began to target the space bridge.

While Starscream and Knock Out were fighting Galvatron. But suddenly Knock Out ended up being shot in the leg and fell through one of the windows in the space station and was now floating through space.

Starscream quickly abandon his fight with Galvatron to help his friend. But Galvatron took this as a moment of weakness and started shooting at them both. And the other Autobots could only watch helplessly as Knock Out floated through space with plasma blasts being fired at him. While Starscream was desperately trying to reach him in his jet mode.

Just as Starscream was about to get to the Austin Martin one of Galvatron's plasma blasts hit Knock Out and caused him to go into the space bridge that was now unstable thanks to being tampered with by the Autobots to stop Galvatron's plan. And without thinking Starscream flew in after him.

"No we have to get that space bridge stable and get them back." Said Arcee.

She had heard everything over the com-links and felt bad about how she had treated both former Cons. And wanted to get them back because she wanted to apologize to them both. Arcee especially felt guilty about her last exchange with Knock Out.

"We can't get it stable!" Cried Springer as he Smokescreen and Hot Rod all tried along with Arcee to get it under control to help their friends. But it ended up closing then the controls went offline.

They had no way to reach Starscream and Knock Out now. They knew from where the cordnets had been set that if Starscream and Knock Out were alive they were on Earth.

They all took a ground bridge back to base to tell Optimus Prime what happened.

Meanwhile on Earth some humans were talking in an office room.

"Several years back Jasper Nevada was blow to rouble by the Decepticons and a government group call Unit-E was working with the Autobots to stop them but the Autobots have left us since then and we've still seen signs that cybertronians still remain on this planet." Said a women. "If the Autobots were really protecting us why was Nevada destroyed some years ago and where are they now?"

"Look Director Swan the Autobots defended this planet from the Decepticons and they saved Earth countless times and they went back to their own planet to start again in pace and if any of them show up here we'll let then stay in pace. don't we owe them that." Said Agent Fowler.

"I tend to agree with Fowler." General Brice explained. "The Autobots have proven they will protect this planet at any cost and are no threat to this world."

"But what about the Decepticons?" Asked Director Iris Swan. "My team Order of Gray can hunt down and capture any cybertronians who threaten this planet and study them to find out how humanity can fight back against them and eliminate the threat once and for all." She said brushing her blond hair out of her face.

"OK you can hunt down captured and experiment on Cons but you have to leave the Autobots alone." Said General Brice getting annoyed by Swan's constant requests to hunt the cybertronians.

Then the three left as their meeting was over.

"Why do you want to hunt and kill the transformers so badly?" Asked Agent Fowler feeling disgusted at the Women's intentions.

"I lost my husband in Nevada." She explained. "And I want to make those monsters pay for it." Then she walked out of the building. Both men could tell she blamed both factions for the death of her husband. And were secretly worried about how far she might take this.

Then on her way out Director Swan got a call from her team Order of Gray telling her they'd picked up on a cybertronian life signal. And she got in to a helicopter not wanting to miss their first catch.

Meanwhile Knock Out woke up after being knocked unconscious when he had been blasted into the space bridge. The first thing he did was repair himself using a med kit he always kept in his subspace. Luckily his injuries had been minor and didn't take long to fix.

The next thing he did was change to his vehicle mode to look for Starscream he knew they had both been sent to Earth became he'd seen the seeker fly into the space bridge after him right before losing consciousness.

He guessed that the reason Starscream wasn't there was because the space bridge malfunction had caused them to both be sent to Earth but they had been sent to different locations. And to make things worse his com-link wasn't working.

He looked around and saw that he was in the Amazon Jungle that was good there weren't many humans in that area so he wouldn't have to worry very much about his cover since he was in the jungle but would keep an eye out for anyone who might spot him and be careful just in case then drove off. He had to find out where Starscream was he wanted to make sure the seeker hadn't been hurt in anyway.

Knock Out drove for quite a while until he saw a hippopotamus that looked like it was trying to dig at some rocks that had fallen over a cave. Feeling sorry for it Knock Out transformed and used his drill to get rid of the rocks and a baby hippo came running out.

The other one was it's mother trying to free her baby that had gotten trapped there in a cave in they both looked at him as if thanking him then went on their way.

"Your welcome." He said watching them go. Then change to his vehicle mode and continued trying to figure out where Starscream was.

Then after a few more hours of driving he had to transform to his cybertronian mode to stretch his legs. he was enjoying the scenery at lest he had been sent to a pretty part of Earth.

Suddenly Knock Out heard something and the next thing he knew he was having missiles fired at him and was being forced to duck and dodge them. He saw black vans driving towards him. And men firing missiles at him and knew he was in trouble.

He was being shot at so rapidly he couldn't find time to transform. Witch was a shame because he'd be able to flee faster in his Austin Martin from.

Suddenly some of the men shot a net at him. Knock Out tried to dodge but this just ended up making it worse. Instead of catching him properly it ended up getting tangled around his body and tying his legs together causing the poor transformer to fall backwards.

He fell head first into a river and was now trapped with his head and back in a laying position and his legs still in the net being held up by a tree the net had snagged on.

Knock Out started to use his saw to cut himself free but Director Swan who had just gotten out of the helicopter press a button on a remote she had that made the net deliver an electric shock to Knock Out.

"Please stop!" Knock Out screamed after the first jolt. it hurt even more then it normally would have since part of him was in water. He didn't know how he stayed conscious because his whole body burned from the shock.

But Director Swan didn't care and hit the button shocking poor Knock Out a second time. This time rendering him unconscious. Then they used a crane to pull him out of the lake.

Director Swan went over for a better look at Order of Gray's first capture.

"Mam we have a problem this one's an Autobot." One member of Order of Gray pointed out showing her where Knock Out's Autobot shield was.

"With those red optics?" she asked having noticed the color of Knock Out's optics.

"Looks like we have a turncoat on our hands." Said another one of the men.

"We'll have to explain the mistake." Another man suggested.

"Maybe not." Director Swan told them as she got a can of red spray paint from a box of supplies and spayed it on Knock Out's shoulder covering his Autobot shield.

"If our superiors find out that's an Autobot!" One of the men started to say.

"They won't find out with those beautiful red optics and with out that insignia our superiors won't know the difference." Director Swan said coldly.

Then they loaded Knock Out into a trailer and drove off to transport him to their base.
