Last Time: After chasing the Insecticons and saving Bumblebee, Cliffjumper tried to get Inferno's forgiveness. After the fight between the Insecticons and the Autobots, they returned to the Ark with Lincoln trying to call his friends, but they were dealing with their own problems.

"Thanks, Clyde," Lincoln said as he hung up with his friends then signed out of boredom. "Why did we come here again?" Clyde asked. The room was large, it was twice as large as Optimus, with stone walls and what looked to be military equipment all over. The three were sitting at a table on a platform that was above the ground by twenty ft. off the ground.

"Sorry guys, but not every mission is going to be exciting, we are just here to check up on this base to make sure it is up to code for a backup base in case if the Ark is destroyed." Said Jazz as he was looking over a large terminal that was in the room, it had looked to be Autobot technology. "Wish it was more exciting, trust me but not everything is, but hey at least we don't have to worry about being attacked here."

"What even is this base? It looks abandoned." Raoul said with the others looking curious.

"This used to be an old U.S. military base built in the late 1990s but then it got shut down ten years ago. Vincent managed to get it for us as a backup base just in case we need a new one, we have a few other bases all over the world." Said Jazz. "If you are bored you can go outside and... I do not know, you humans' make balls of snow to throw at each other in the winter, right? Why not do that?"

"Hehe, Yeah why not, I mean it does snow in Michigan but why not take the moment and have some good old fashion fun." Said Raoul with the others getting up and ready to go outside. While they were going towards the large exit doors that could let a tank go through it and left the room to enter the hall, they saw the other Autobots Hot Rod, Tracks, Blaster, and three other Mini-Cons moving large creates or checking some electronic device.

The three Mini-Cons were of different body shapes but the same sizes, one with red armor on with a dome over their head with helicopter blades on their back, Another had a blue torso and head armor and pitch-black legs, a visor that looked to be almost like a pair of red glasses, and on their back was a hook-crane, and for the last one was wearing orange armor with them having what looked like a bulldozer blade split in two and are on each of his shoulders.

The Autobots and Mini-Cons noticed the humans and Hot Rod said to them. "Are you guys going outside?"

"Yeah, we're going out to throw snowballs at each other," Clyde said with the others nodding to confirm.

"Snowball fight!" said Eject, the Autobot Mini-Cassette as he walked forward to the humans. "I'm game, come on, Humans vs. Human size Robots." Said Eject, in the brief time they must know them both Ronnie Anne and Clyde noticed that he was like Lincoln's sport-loving sister Lynn Jr. as they both seem to never turn down a challenge.

"Are you sure about that? I mean aren't you all working?" Clyde asked the Autobots with Hot Rod turning to them.

"Well, we are almost finished here. You can both go with Eject, Rewind, and take one of the Mini-Cons with you if you want, of course, Blaster will have to watch you just in case if something happens." Said, Hot Rod.

"Why don't you go Jolt, you always cover for us before we came to Earth, me and Longarm can finish up here." Said the Orange Mini-Con as they talked to the red Mini-Con, named Jolt.

"Yeah, you can do your own thing, go throw balls made of snow at each other or whatever it was they said.

"You got it, Wedge," Said the Mini-Con named Jolt as he followed the other Autobots and humans who were heading towards an exited to the outside.

Jolt

-Mini-Con

-Helicopter and Bladed Shield

-A team player who stands by his friends

Wedge

-Mini-Con

-Bulldozer and Powerful Knuckle

-Hard worker who enjoys helping out

Longarm

-Mini-Con

-Hook-Crane Truck and Hook-Weapon

-Is always there to give a helping hand

"Don't you think letting them go out in the open could be a terrible thing, whey if they get seen by humans or worse?" Said the other Mini-Con named Longarm.

"Don't worry Longarm, the nearest town is two miles away from here and what's the worst that could happen." Said Wedge with him seeming like there were no issues with what he did.

On the outside, in the sky, five jet-like vehicles were in the sky with one of them looking alien, like it was not from earth. Another object was flying alongside them, it was Foxwire in their Turbofox Beast mode with a rocket jetpack on their back. The other four jets were F-22 Raptors of unusual colors.

The jets were getting closer to the ground and once they reached around 20 meters closer to the ground and transform into Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and a fourth Seeker that looked like a feminist purple Starscream, the Aline-like jet was Cyclonus, and finally, Foxwire did transform when reaching the ground, but the jetpack on them changed into the Decepticon Mini-Con, Nickel who stayed on the back of the Turbofox Predacon like a horse.

Where they landed was surrounded by snow and was near the edge of a mountain with a huge crack in the side of the mountain. "So, this is the place Thundercracker?" Starscream asked the seeker who nodded.

"Yeah, both I and Skywarp were looking for anything out here, but then we found a Cybertronian signal, it may have been from a ship that crashed way back as the signature of the signal was very old, like Pre-war old." Said Thundercracker as they all entered the crack in the mountain which was the entrance to a large cave that they all fit in easily. "We checked what was in the cave and chose to go back to the Nemesis to get you guys."

"Then we flew here, and please tell us why here exactly?" Said The female Decepticon.

"Well Slipstream, it is what we found down here you guys might want to see." Said Skywarp.

Slipstream

-Decepticon

-Purple Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor

-Will shoot you in the back and not think twice about it

"What we found down here is awesome and- Oh here it is!" Said Thundercracker as they all made it to the end of the cave to find a buried starship, the size of a warehouse building with it being a silver color with red markings on the wings, it was like earth airplane but more cube-shaped and less aerodynamic.

"An old ship, but not just any ship, it's an old Seeker model ship." Said Skywarp. The Decepticons looked impressed all except for both Starscream and Cyclonus. "Do you think there's Energon in there? It is a pre-war ship."

"It can't be..." Starscream said surprised to see the ship.

"Only one way to find-" Slipstream said to be from stopping as she noticed something, everyone looked at her and was about to ask what was going on with her until she pointed at a side of the ship which had a sizeable hole on the side of it. "Somethings in the ship."

The Decepticons then entered the shop and saw that it was a mess with tools and machines all over the place, they then saw something, it was close to the ground, it was small, robotic, and seemed to be resting. It was Buzzsaw who was slightly damaged with scratches all over him when his optics opened and saw the Decepticons he jumped up and pointed his weapons at them but the moment they were about to fire, the weapon exploded in his hands due to poor care of it and fell apart. "SCRAP!" Said Buzzsaw.

Slipstream did not look impressed but just annoyed and fired a laser from her own arm-mounted laser weapon hitting Buzzsaw and sending them back and hitting a wall. "Well, that was just sad." Said Slipstream as she walked up to Buzzsaw and picked them up. "Alright, you! who are you and why are you here." She said as both Thundercracker and Skywarp stood beside her and pointed their weapons at them.

Buzzsaw started to talk but it was weak. "I am Buzzsaw, I am- well was- a Mercenary... after being stranded on this planet for I don't know how long, I have been using this ship as a base and depo for Energon and weapons I salvaged from my original ship, there wasn't much left anyway." Said Buzzsaw as Slipstream dropped them.

"What else was in this base?" Starscream said as he stood over them, intimidating them, it was not really working but Buzzsaw knew just one of them, even the Mini-Con could take them down, and even offline them.

"The only other thing was a pod over there, it is on stasis lock keeping whoever is inside active." Said Buzzsaw as he pointed at the only working thing in the room, it was a large pod with lights on it, they all go to the pod that had a window on it that was covered in dust and ice and wiped it off to her a large white bot with some rid lines on their body and had a white helmet with a blue area on their forehead and on their back looked like a pack, a jetpack or something.

"Jetfire! It is him! This is my ship!" Said Starscream confusing the others and they all asked him why he was panicking. "This ship is known as the Harbinger, a ship that I was in command of along with my original crew of Seekers, and this is Jetfire, he was my right hand when I was in command searching planets for resources, I thought he was Offline after what happened."

"What happened?" Buzzsaw asked.

"Our ship was just traveling when suddenly we were attacked by otherworldly forces that attacked us and the ship was blasted near a black hole, only Jetfire was inside when it was getting close, we thought he was eaten but the black hole, but I guess he used the Warp engine of the ship to escape." Said Starscream still shocked to see them alive. "Is he...?"

"Active?" Said Nickle as she checked the pod giving it a closer look and saw most of the damage. "Yes, he is still active, lucky him. He'll be fine once we unlock his pod." As Nickle said this, Starscream looked worried with no one noticing other than Cyclonus as he knew just why he was worried.

The pod started to open, and the Bot inside started to wake up, their vision was blurry but in just a moment his vision return, and the first thing he saw was Starscream. "C-Commander Starscream, is that you?" Jetfire said as they got up and raised from the pod and walked to Starscream. "You- you came back for me? I knew you would Commander." The Bot named Jetfire said as they grabbed Starscream's hand and shook it.

"J-Jetfire, you're still- I see that you're active, that is excellent news." Said Starscream with his voice clearly showing that he was hiding something, for the Decepticons and Buzzsaw it was easy to see and strange to them as they knew Starscream for being an excellent liar. "Anyway, I know you've just reactivated and raised up, but I need to know how you survived?"

"When the ship was getting too close to the black hole, I fixed the Warp engine and teleported the ship, but the force of the black hole set my warp off but... I don't even think there is a number to really estimate the distance but let us just say I was sent here, and you came back for me, I always knew you were a great commander," said Jetfire.

"Well... I had thought you had been offline by that black hole as no one really saw the ship get away from it, but I will say that it is great that you are active, but you might want to sit back down for I have some terrible news for your old friend." Said Starscream as he helped Jetfire lay down to inform him about something he was missing for over six million years, the war that has been going on.

Hours, it has been a few hours since Starscream started to tell Jetfire about the war that has been going on, but he was not getting the full story. His version of the Autobots being monsters who have ruined Cybertron and had ended the lives of many innocents of countless worlds. It was a hard-to-believe story that almost no one would believe but since Jetfire did miss every moment of the war up until now and that he trusts Starscream, he was surely believing it.

They walked out of the cave with Jetfire looking around in the great beauty earth was, the life all around, the smaller life forms that were watching him from afar, and even saw the clear blue sky it was all amazing. "So, this is the earth... it is so fascinating, I need to start my research for this planet."

"I am afraid now isn't the right time my old friend, the Autobots are treated to this world and need to be stopped immediately. We could use your help to take them down and... save this world." Starscream said as if he was holding back the urge to vomit with the words he just said, saving a world they want to just burn to ashes.

"I understand old friend, you have nothing to fear, I shall help you, if these Autobots are as bad you say they are then I will stop them, and if what you say is correct, then their leader is truly vile if he is a warmongering tyrant and chose to call himself a Prime!" Jetfire said sounding anger from this knowledge.

"I am glad you agree old friend, Skywarp will take you to our based on the planet's moon, he'll explain to Megatron who you are and that you'll help us," Starscream said but turned to Skywarp and gave him a strict order. "Take him to the Nemesis first thing and do not mess this up, we could use him, he was one of Cybertron's top scientists before the war."

Skywarp did understand and would have to try his best to behave himself. He was highly known as a trickster and an annoyance from his fellow Decepticons, but he was effective when getting his tasks done. "You can count on me Starscream." Said Skywarp "Oh, here, you'll need this, so they don't shoot you on sight." Skywarp added as he handed him a badge with the Decepticon symbol which he placed on his chest, Jetfire's helmet then had a mask covering his face with it all white with a red line visor as their only way of seeing and they both transformed to fly away, with Jetfire still having a Cybertronian jet form, and the two flew off.

"Alright, they are gone, you everyone, aid me in searching the ship for anything of value, Energon, weapons, and data from the ship," Starscream said as he and the others walked back into the cave, Buzzsaw was trying to sneak away but Nickle had stopped them and dragged them into the cave. "Why are you bringing them along?"

"I just want to him." She said as she brought him closer to her, holding him like as if it was a caring hug with her giving puppy eyes to Starscream like a child trying to get their parent to get them a pet or a new toy. "Just look at them, they're injured and in poor condition, they need help."

"Huh? I don't need your help, let go of me you crazy-" Buzzsaw said as Nickle changed her expression to a look to well-controlled anger and held onto their arm with a tighter grip, almost like they were going to crush it making the damaged arm much worse. "AH! WHAT ARE YOU- OKAY! OKAY! YOU WIN! I'LL TAKE YOUR HELP!" They said as Nickle took her previous expression and just held their arm and gently dragged them back to the cave and the Harbinger.

"What do we do once he learns the truth and that you've lied to them?" Slipstream said to Starscream who just gave one response that sounded cold and with no hesitation.

"We end him."

Jetfire and Skywarp were in the sky flying among the clouds, to Skywarp it was just a normal day and for Jetfire, it felt like freedom, the feeling of being so far from the ground and seeing things from afar. Skywarp did want to get him to the Nemesis but thought of spending some time procrastinating, he even teleported and did a few air tricks out of boredom. "Your warping ability seems interesting; how did you get it."

Skywarp then teleported right next to them to explain. "That's a funny story, I was messing around with a Warp engine for fun-" Said Skywarp before Jetfire interrupted.

"You were an engineer?" Jetfire asked.

"Oh, no I was a normal soldier, but I was just messing around with one, after doing that I broke it and got a mutation that allowed me to teleport." Said Skywarp.

"Interesting, I have heard of some Bots going through the same thing, more than 99.8% of those cases had only their Sparks removed from their bodies, and they snuffed out and parish, it had to be painful." Said Jetfire.

"Hahaha, yeah- wait, what?" Skywarp said with his voice sounding surprised and now getting a feeling of heaviness as he could have been killed a long time ago. He could have lost his life if it were not for dumb luck. Skywarp then saw something near the ground. "Huh, is that what I think it is?"

Down below on the ground was in the middle of a field with some trees all around a mountain behind Blaster who was sitting on a boulder, with Sundor on his shoulder and both Ramhorn and Steeljaw next to him and a smile on their face as he was watching both his Mini-Cassettes; Rewind and Eject along with the Mini-Con Jolt were throwing snowballs at both Ronnie Anne, Raoul, and Clyde who were behind some piles of snow throwing snowballs back at them, they all looked to be having some great fun. "What are those?" Said Jetfire as he noticed them below.

"Those small organics down there are humans, the inhabitants of this world, and what is near them are the Autobots, the big red one is Blaster, and the small ones are his Mini-Cons." Said Skywarp.

"So those are humans? I am interested in them, and they are in danger. We need to help them!" Jetfire said as he started to dive down with Skywarp following him and tried to get him to stop him but could not.

The Autobot gang was having fun with the thrill of throwing snow at each other, in one instance Clyde had tried to throw a snowball at Eject but the Autobot had managed to not only block the snowball but did so but perfectly uppercut punching it and then took the pose of a baseball pitcher and threw a snowball that hit Clyde dead center on his chest.

The moment Eject had laughed at his successful hit, Eject was the first one to notice them, Jetfire and Skywarp but had no time to warn the others as Jetfire fired a laser blast at them, hitting next to both Eject and Rewind, not hitting them but sending them flying from the blast and even affected Jolt as he the blast also sent him away, hitting a tree face first.

"DECEPTICONS!" Blaster said as he had stood up and got Ramhorn back into him, Blaster then started to get a quick glow and proceed to pick up a large boulder, and threw it at the Cons with extreme force, Jetfire easily dodge it, but Skywarp was not so lucky, as he was hit by the bolder. "Got one."

"Skywarp!" Jetfire said as he did a quick turn, transformed into his robot mode, and caught Skywarp, using his flying ability to float down behind some trees and lower them to the ground. Both Sundor and Steeljaw then ran and flew towards Jetfire, the two split apart with Steeljaw heading left and Sundor flying to the right to pincer attack Jetfire, but they did not know who they were facing.

When the two got ready to attack but something came out of his pack, they were small flare shaped missiles, eight of them, and the two were hit by four of them each sent the two flying and Jetfire used his pack to jump high into the air, they had a laser rifle in their hands pointing at Blaster and fired hitting Blaster and sending them back and Jetfire came back to the ground to take a closer look at Skywarp. "Are you alright Skywarp?"

"Yeah- I mean I am a little banged up, but I should be fine, thanks for the save." Said Skywarp as he was trying to get back up, that bolder did do a number on them as they had dents and even one of his wings falling off, normally for a Transformer a boulder of the same size as their alt mode wouldn't do such a number on someone but a boulder that was not only thrown with great force but also that the one who was hit by it was flying right into it with greater speed, that would do a real number on someone who was a jet. "I saw some medical supplies back at the Harbinger, I'll just do some teleportation jumps to there and get patched up, it is amazing at what Nickle can do with even the smallest number of medical supplies."

Skywarp then started to teleport away, Jetfire could see that he only teleported around a quarter of a mile away and then did so again, due to his injuries he would need to be only moving at that pace to not make it worse. "I hope he'll make it until Starscream gets here to help me imprison these war criminals, I might introduce myself to the humans, they seem interesting."

Jetfire then stepped out from behind the tree to see the humans and said: "Hello fellow life forms of this planet, my name is Jetfire and-" He stopped as he noticed that the humans were gone. "They must have left when the fighting started, basic instances no doubt, hope this doesn't ruin my chances of gaining the human's trust, I should go after them and see if they are alright." Jetfire thought to himself, it would be logical if that were the reason why they left but he did not know the real reason. Jetfire then started to follow the humans for introductions without noticing that Jolt the Mini-Con was getting back up.

Deeper in the forest, both Ronnie Anne, Raoul, and Clyde were running from Jetfire, they did not know that was his name, but they knew he was a Decepticon, they then found a fallen tree that was large enough to hide them and did so, hide. They did not want to leave Blaster or the others behind but knew they had to run for their own safety.

Clyde seemed to be shaking but it looked like he was doing so out of fear rather than being cold while both Ronnie Anne and Raoul were looking ready for something, they still had a little fear in their eyes as they without a doubt knew they didn't stand a ghost of a chance at facing Jetfire if they were really after them as they took down Blaster and his Mini-Cassettes without any issue and on their own, so they knew deep down that if they faced whatever it was they would be doomed.

"Where are you, humans? It is safe to come out." Said a voice that they easily remembered as it belonged to whoever it was who took down Blaster. Ronnie Anne pulled out a pocket mirror from her pocket to use to look at Jetfire.

"Don't worry, I'm not your enemy it is safe to come out, you can trust me, I swear it."

They did not believe him for a second. The last time they faced a Con, it was not so good as they were chased by killer robots that wanted them dead and gone. When they thought they were safe, Ronnie Anne's communicator started to ring like a phone, they forgot their communicators due to the fear from the Decepticons and they all froze in fear as Jetfire heard the noise and found them behind the fallen tree. "Hello humans, I'm Jetfire and-" As Jetfire was introducing himself to the humans, Ronnie Anne did the only thing she could do and throw a snowball that had a rock in it right into his optics, covering them. "Okay, they might be scared of me."

The three then tried to make a break for it but Jetfire was quick and managed to not only grabbed the three of them easily but without hurting them too and held them in his hands. His mask had removed itself and when behind his head with the visor disappearing, showing his face and his blue optics to them, his face showed fascination at the humans as due to him being a scientist, it was his job to understand something he has not seen before.

"Alright, look we may have started on the wrong foot and maybe scared from being attacked by that Autobot-" He said to them, making them confused, both for showing concern and thinking they were attacked. "-But I am trying to show you that I am not a bad guy. Maybe if I use the universal greeting?"

"Not a bad guy? You're a Decepticon!" Ronnie Anne yelled out at them surprising them.

"You shoot Blaster, he was our friend!" Said Raoul who was the most furious as Blaster was one of his closest friends along with Tracks.

"Yeah, and you attacked us, the Autobots or are friends!" Said Clyde.

"Your friend? You must be mistaken, the Autobots are the bad ones, they ruined my home world and started a war." Said Jetfire with the human beings seeming confused with what he was talking about, they learned about how the war really started from their Autobot companions and they all gave him the same story about how it started.

Before another word could be shared, Jetfire was hit by something, he ended up dropping the humans, luckily that they landed on the snow and got away from them and what they saw in his back was some wires that were on his back and the origin of the wires was from the sky as Jolt was flying above them with electricity coming from the wires like a taser.

"Get away from our humans you-" Jolt said before could finish, Jetfire turned around and grabbed the taser wire and pulled it, throwing Jolt to the ground and Jetfire pointed his weapon at him but before the weapon could be fired Ronnie Anne ran up and was standing in between the two, stopping Jetfire. "Ronnie Anne, what are you-"

"Just stop and listen!" Ronnie Anne said as Jetfire lowered his weapon to listen to what she had to say to them. "Look, the Autobots are not the bad guys and the Decepticons are the real bad guys."

"It's true, the Decepticons once kidnap my best friend and attacked us in the past," Clyde said to Jetfire, and he walked up to them.

"The first time I saw a Decepticon they trashed my friend's car and tried to take me, hostage," Raoul said to Jetfire to get him to see that the Decepticons were the bad guys.

"Yeah and... wait Lockdown was not a Decepticon, um... they're jerks." Said Jolt.

"This is unbelievable... I-" Jetfire said as he was finding what they said sounding hard to believe or understand, was Starscream lying to them? Who does he believe? He saw Clyde messing around with his communicator and noticed that they pulled something out, it was a chip. "What are you doing human?"

"My name is Clyde, and my Autobot companion, Jazz, he gave me some information about Cybertron, and he gave me tons of history about the planet from when the war started and just what happens in it," Clyde said as he handed the chip to Jetfire, who the ladder took and handled it with care and placed it on the side of his helmet and his mask covering his face again.

It was a good thing he did as he was seeing the truth, the chip held data about how the war really started. the Decepticons started the war due to the Cybertronian government being unfair and that Megatron took it too far and started a revolution that wiped out the original government and that the Autobots were formed to protect and represent freedom for the people of Cybertron.

He saw images of the cruelty of the war and what the Decepticons did to not only capture Autobots but also to Cybertron's people who did not fight and how most of the remaining people and thousands of Autobots left their home world to find a name home as due to the war, their home world was ruined, all because of the Decepticons.

He then saw something else, as there was more data even something before the war, he saw that it was a report about the Harbinger, and how it was... accidentally destroyed by a black hole and that Starscream was the only survivor. There was no mention of the pirates that attacked or anything else only that Starscream said that both it and the crew were lost forever due to an issue, he could not understand what was going on until he put the pieces together.

"Starscream, he lied to me, not only about the war but also... he tried to end my life. The ship I was on was attacked by pirates, but they weren't aiming at destroying the ship, they were leading me to a black hole, the coward, he paid them to do so!" Jetfire said as he finally saw the truth, he was on the wrong side. Jetfire then ripped off the Decepticon symbol from his chest, stared at it for only a second, and crushed it in his hands. "I will not stand for this!"

Back with the others, Blaster and his Mini-Cassettes were still down on the ground but as he was trying to get back up, but saw Starscream and the other Decepticons, all holding weapons and aiming at them at Blaster. "Oh, I will enjoy this for as long as I can. I guess Jetfire did not have the bolts or the Spark to finish you off for the last time. Oh well, better finish what he started-"

"Starscream!" Jetfire said as a laser was fired at Starscream's mounted arm gun and hit the barrel of the weapon damaging it, they all saw it was Jetfire who fired, booth Ronnie Anne, Clyde and Raoul were watching from the tree lines to avoid getting seen. "You lied to me! About the war and what really happened! I found out about the report of what you said to the people of Cybertron, that it was an accident when it was an attack you planned! WHY?!"

Starscream only seemed annoyed by those questions, not for being asked but really by who. "Well, now that you want to know, before that mission some time ago, I heard that you were going to take my place as commander of the Seekers, so I paid the pirates to attack the Harbinger and make it look like an accident and then I took them out too so there wouldn't be any witnesses. No one gets in my way."

"YOU GLITCH! I trusted you! I would have turned that position down so I could stay as a head scientist, my passion, and that I was your friend!" Said Jetfire with so much fury in his voice.

"And that was your mistake, trusting me." Starscream said as he pointed his weapon at him but stopped as he heard someone saying: "You know, someone trusting you guys I would never really believe."

Starscream and the others all looked to where the voice was coming from and saw Hot Rod, the one talking with Tracks and Jazz standing right next to him along with Wedge and Longarm behind them. "I mean, you're called Decepticons, it's just deception and cons mixed together it isn't that hard to put two and two together."

"HA! Do you think you scare us? We are six Decepticons and two Mini-Cons, you have an injured Bot and Mini-Cassettes leaving you just three Autobots and a traitor, you're outnumbered!"

"Hey, don't say I'm with you guys." Said Buzzsaw.

"Yeah, about that." Hot Rod said as a ground bridge opened right behind the Decepticons and saw that something came out of it, A heavy truck that ran over Thundercracker, it was Optimus Prime in his Alt mode along with his trailer. Following him were the Alt modes of Cliffjumper, Ironhide, Arcee, Ratchet, Wheeljack, and Bumblebee along with them Perceptor in his robot mode just running past them and all running over Thundercracker. "We called back up."

The Autobots then changed from their Alt modes to their Robot modes and all of them had their weapons out, along with them was the other Mini-Cons they had with them when facing the Insecticons just earlier that day. "Hiss. Do you feel lucky? Punk! Hiss." Said the Voice of Sparkplug while in weapon mode on Bumblebee.

"Um, okay now we're outnumbered. What should we do now Starscream?" Said Skywarp as they panicked, they were outnumbered and outgunned, all the Autobots and Jetfire had their weapons pointed at them. No one noticed that Cyclonus held something in their hand, it looked to be a detonator and pressed it, an explosion was set off and everyone heard it. "What was that?"

"That sounded like it came from the Harbinger?" Said Starscream.

"That was me blowing up the Harbinger." Said Cyclonus, surprising the Decepticons and Jetfire. "We didn't want the Autobots to know about the Harbinger, so I destroyed it."

"YOU DID WHAT?! I HAD A WEAPON AND ENERGON CASH IN THERE, YOU GLITCH!" Said Buzzsaw sounding distort from what just happened. Cyclonus then threw the detonator in the sky but it was not just a detonator but also a flashbang as it released a powerful light that blinded everyone who had even looked at it or had their optics opened.

"Decepticons, fly straight up and away!" Cyclonus said as he transformed into his Alt mode along with the other Decepticons and even Foxwire with Nickle being a jetpack helping them fly up and holding Buzzsaw in the mouth of their Turbofox beast mode.

"They're getting away," Arcee said as her vision was returning, she had grabbed Perceptor's personal sniper rifle weapon and fired a few shots but were all misses. "Dang it." She said returning the weapon to Perceptor and apologizes, but Perceptor paid no mind and knew what she was doing. The Autobot medic then checked on Blaster, seeing that it was mostly his armor that took the damage but then saw that Ramhorn was inside of him, giving him his strength and another reason as to why he was too damaged, they then saw Jetfire walking up to them and then falling to their knees.

"I am so sorry, I thought from what Starscream told me was that you were the bad ones and-" Jetfire said before Blaster stopped him.

"It's alright, you didn't mean to really harm me, plus your weapon was set to a non-lethal setting, wasn't it?" said Blaster, surprising Jetfire.

"You could tell?"

"Yeah, I've been hit a number of times to tell when a weapon is set for off lining a Bot or not." Blaster said as Ratchet was helping them back onto their feet. "If you want me to forgive you for shooting me, I have to ask you this question, if this was the reverse and I was the one who shoot you, would you forgive me." Said Blaster surprising Jetfire who nods to what Blaster had said to him which did help him clear a little bit of the guilt he was feeling from shooting him.

Optimus Prime then walked up to Jetfire, helping them up so they could speak to eye leave, with both being the same height. "So, you are Jetfire I presume, the humans had connected both Hot Rod and us. They had also explained to us that before the war, you missed the beginning of it, I am so sorry that you've awakened in such a hard and tough time." Said Optimus.

"Yes, it is just so hard to fully take in everything, and if it were not for them, the humans, I would be fighting for the wrong side... Optimus Prime, sir. I have a favor to ask, may I make things right and help repay those humans for letting me see the truth by joining you, the Autobots." Said Jetfire, if it were not for the face mask covering Optimus' face, there would be a proud smile on it to have another member to add to the Autobots.

Optimus then offered a hand to shake which Jetfire took, showing that Optimus will fully welcome him to their ranks. "Welcome to the Autobots, Jetfire."

"Here you go Jetfire." Said Wheeljack as he handed them a disc-shaped device that had projected a hologram of a jet. "This holds data to earth vehicles you can scan and make into your Alt mode, we are Robots in disguise, after all, I do have some data on some jets in case we get an Autobot with a flying Alt mode," Wheeljack explained to them, Jetfire then released a green beam from his eyes that scanned the holographic jet and the started to change.

Instead of the alien flying spaceship that he was earlier, he now took a different form, it looked like a red and white modified Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, then the modifications started to change and hide within him like they were never there. "Now this is a good look for me, from this day forth, I am Jetfire, the Autobot," Jetfire said declaring his allegiance.

Jetfire

-Autobot

- modified Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II

-Someone who wants to learn more about this new world

"We welcome you as one of us Jetfire and don't worry we'll welcome you with open arms. Now let us get our human friend's home, they all have had a long day. Autobots Transform and Roll out." Optimus said to his team, ready to return home, they could all use some rest but was stopped by Jetfire who was still in his Alt mode.

"Um, Optimus Prime, sir? I have a question." Jetfire said getting the attention of everyone who was listening. "How do I 'Roll out' in my Alt mode? I do seem to have wheels, but they look to be for landing and not for mobility."

After saying that most of the other Autobots, such as Tracks, Blaster, Hot Rod, Bumblebee, and even Ironhide almost let out a laugh as he took Optimus' iconic saying a little too serious. The Autobots then went back into the ground bridge along with the humans back to the Ark with Jetfire and Optimus being the last ones to go through as Jetfire looked on to where the Harbinger was destroyed, and Optimus took notice. "They said they destroyed what I assumed is your ship correct?"

"Yes, so much of my work and now it is gone forever. I'll have to start over on so much of it... but it will take longer because we are in a war... that I missed most of due to crashing on this planet and being in stasis lock." Said Jetfire.

"I am sorry that you've missed so much and waking up in a new era of war instead of peace must be so hard to take in, we won't rush you and help you understand how things both came to be and how we plan to fix everything once this war is at an end," Optimus said with pure optimism invoice, showing that he had high hope for the future.

"Thank you again, you've earned that title of being a Prime." Said Jetfire as both he and Optimus walked through the ground bridge with it closing behind them.

Up in the sky, the Decepticons were still fleeing from the Autobots with Starscream being angered over how much their personal mission failed, both Skywarp and Thundercracker were very much injured and Slipstream, even though her face was not shown hearing that Starscream failed was a little amusing to her. Nickel and Foxwire were still holding on to Buzzsaw who now had no choice but to join the Decepticons as he had nothing left that would help him survive.

Cyclonus on the other hand was the most pleased out of everyone for he had something, it was not supplies of anything physical but digital, while they were looking through the Harbinger, he found some data on the ship's computer, data that the Ghost of Starscream knew about.

The said Ghost of Starscream was within Cyclonus as he did have a cockpit to let someone sit inside of him. With a leather seat, controls and a screen that displayed some data on it and Ghost of Starscream was the one reading it. "That foolish younger me, he forgot about it when we first entered the ship because he thought it was destroyed but here it is, the Data that was given to the Harbinger for research, given to them by Boltax himself. Data file UK-208 and file MP-10B, the first one I don't know or understand but the second one is the personality file for that side project of yours."

"You know what to do, send it." Said Cyclonus, but quietly so no one could hear him. The file was now being sent while they were flying but to where? As the file was finished the Ghost Starscream could tell that Cyclonus was pleased with himself with their work being done for the day, but the Ghost Starscream looked worried as he knew what the file he just sent was about.

Elsewhere somewhere in Nevada, inside a building that looked military with soldiers and scientists doing their day-to-day business. There were a few rooms with different plaques next to them for the room number but also what was in the room. There was one room door, the plaque said: Project Pretender, Follow the standard base rules and under it was a piece of paper that was taped on that also read: "Reminder, don't use the Pretenders to make a copy of your crush to hit on, Jerry!" With the name being both bolded, underlined, and at the very bottom in writing twice the size than the other written words.

Inside the room held cylinder-shaped pods that were large enough to fit a person. They had a small window on them to allow a view on the inside, but there was one that had light coming out of it, this light started out blue but then changed to a dark purple. Two men in lab coats ran up to the pod to see what was happening. "How is this one active? Weren't they all shut down after today's test?!" Said one of them.

"They are supposed to, did Jerry do something again?! I told him if he were caught doing something again, I would hit him with a wrench!" Said the other man in a lab coat.

"Geez, Rick are you still mad that he used a Pretender to look like your daughter to hit on?"

"Yes." Said the man named Rick before the pod started to glow, the two being scientists knew that if something were glowing two possibilities would happen without a doubt, it was radioactive or was about to blow up and it was the ladder. The two were bounced back and were sent into a wall, knocking them both out. Several men, both soldiers, and other scientists barged in to see what had happened. What they saw was covered in smoke but could see something glowing, circuitry patterns all over the body of someone, and a glowing pair of eyes.

From the point of view of the eyes, everything was red, they were not the eyes of a human but of a machine. Then text appeared in their vision that was alien at first but then read: "Escape" and then they charged at the group of people. On the outside of the building the alarms were blaring loudly until they all stopped, there was no noise left as if everything stopped.

Something came out of the front doors, but they did not open but walked through them, they were glass doors and easily broken. The one who broke them walked out in bare feet, stepping on the glass but their skin wasn't cut or anything, they were fine and as they kept on walking, somehow red and white shoes appeared on their feet, as they walked, they were wearing blue pants and an orange jacket on them, but out of nowhere the jacket changed from orange to black with the Decepticon symbol on the back before going back to all orange.
