Story summary: After getting the Dinobots on an island for their base they had some rather unwanted quests who were after something within the base, while they battled to keep them out the Decepticon subgroup called the Constructicons proved why they were a dangerous threat.

The Autobots looked in shock at the colossal behemoth that stood before them, it was like looking at a building that was twice as high as they were. They knew exactly what they were looking at, a combiner. Slug charged forward and headbutted the left leg of the Decepticon who stopped laughing and looked down before gently kicking them like a stone on the side of the road and pushing them back to where the others wore. "Alright Autobots..." Said the combined Decepticon as they took a stance and looked down. "Prepare for extermination!"

Devastator

-Decepticon

-Combiner

-They are the wrecking crew; they'll rip you apart their own way

"Fan out!" Jazz yelled as he and the others scattered around, to the Combiner they were like rats running around for their lives.

"Go for his legs!" Arcee yelled out as she ran around to the side of the Combiner and fired at their leg joints. If there is one thing, she knows about these Combiners it is that they are stronger but slower the more they're mixed with. They were still powerful; Devastator slammed his feet onto the ground which shook the ground making everyone unable to stand up straight.

"You little pest! You think you can defeat Devastator!" The Combiner yelled as he was about to slam his feet down again only this time to crush Arcee.

"Arcee Transform!" Arcee said as she changed into her alt mode to dive away and get distance as Devastator slammed their foot down. She changed back to normal to fire at them again, sadly she had no clear shot to the back of their joints.

Away from the battle, Nickel and Skold saw the battle going on and continued to march towards the sentence of the base. Skold looked back to see the fight turning the tables in their favor. "Shouldn't we help them?"

"Trust me, Skold, getting into a fight with Combiner even if they were on your side the fight will not be in your favor, they could crush you even by accident." Nickle said to her comrade. They made it to the entrance with her using a tablet that had an arrow pointing at the closed area. Skold punched the entrance, breaking down the door.

As they walked into the base, three figures were behind them, they looked like they were blurry as they were see-through. Skold looked behind to see nothing. She looked back as her and Nickle kept marching forward.

They entered the base to see it was an impressive sight. It looked to be recently built and well-kept. "Hmm, Scavenger would agree that it looks nice, granted he would call out the material used, more concrete," Nickel said as they walked into the base, luckily no security detail, good for them.

They made it to a point where the tablet pointed into a large room where they saw Wheeljack working on the barrel with the Decepticon logo attempting to open it. The tablet's arrow pointed at the barrel so now they have a target. They looked at each other and tried to silently walk over to sneak up on the Autobot.

Nickel cringed after accidentally kicking a box that was on the ground made a loud crashing sound, how something so small made such a loud sound was unknown. Skold stepped on something, a plank that was tilted on a pipe so when she stepped on it, it flipped over a can that crashed into a stack of cans that crashed down. They continued only to step onto a panel that once they stepped on it made a loud alarm and blaring lights. The two stopped to look at each other and went back to Wheeljack who was still focusing only on the barrel. Skold even picked up a pipe off the ground and slammed it down hard into the ground. Wheeljack's reaction was nonexistent.

They looked at each other, then went back to Wheeljack, then back to each other again. Nickel smirked as they just walked up to them without even hiding their appearance. "This is too easy." Nickle said as she pulled out a gun to aim at Wheeljack, they stopped after hearing screaming.

"Wheeljack! Decepticons are in the base!" The two Cons looked behind them to see it was Clyde. They had entered the base after the Decepticon entered but he didn't know why he followed them in his mind, it was mainly to go and save Wheeljack. Clyde then ran and dodged a laser shot from Nickle.

"Skold, you take the Autobot, the organic is mine rip apart." Nickel said as she followed after Clyde who ran away.

Skold turned back to Wheeljack who looked as if they didn't hear a single thing. She walked up close to Wheeljack, reaching her hands to his head intending to rip it off. She didn't expect him to turn around and aim a large gun at her torso. "Oh... Um, H-hi..." Skold looked awkward before taking a shot to the chest by Wheeljack who sent her flying and crashing into a wall. Nickel noticed this but kept going forward after seeing Skold stand back up and run back into the lab. Unaware of her the three invisible figures continued to follow after her but stopped once they came across the lab and entered the lab without being seen.

Back outside of the base, the Autobots were dealing with Devastator. The Combiner was a tough fighter as they took every attempt to harm them, unfortunately for them they had light weapons that were useful to move around but didn't have much power to dent them. They punched the ground to cause the ground to shake and make the Autobots stumble again, they even swatted Swoop like a fly so they would crash into the ground.

"Scrap! What in the pits have they been doing with them; they were never this strong when they formed Devastator!" Arcee said as she fired more at Devastator.

"They must have given an upgrade after finding Shockwave!" Jazz tried to evade falling debris from Devastator picking up rocks from the ground, crushing it, and tossing it.

"They literally found him today!" Slash said as she dodged some of the debris. "We need cover! Dinobots, make some smoke!" Slash said as she changed into her mechanical Velociraptor mode breathing flames along with the other Dinobots making flames to make smoke covering the area, blinding Devastator.

Devastator swatted his arms down to the ground to make a shockwave to blow away the smoke but could see that the Autobots were already gone. They then started to thrash around to try and find the Autobots, but what they didn't know was that they were already on the opposite side of the canyon. Using large rocks to hide behind.

"Well, this is just great. Any ideas?" Slash said with the other Dinobots all giving their own thoughts by just shutting out what sounded like nonsense. "Other than just burn them?" The Dinobots quiet down.

"Wait, where's Clyde?!" Jazz said as he was worried for his human friend, he wanted to keep them safe, and they didn't see them.

"Try contacting them." Arcee suggested Jazz reach out to his friend.

"Clyde! Where are you?!" Jazz said with so much worry.

"Jazz, hey, um I'm in the base." Clyde said over their communicator.

"That's great to hear."

"But the Decepticons made it into the base. Currently, Nickle is chasing me and--" Clyde said before a crashing sound could be heard.

"Clyde! Are your safe kid?!" said Jazz.

"Yeah, I'm hiding in a room with creates all over the place, high up on a shelf. She's outside of the room I'm hiding in." Clyde said to Jazz.

"Alright, little buddy, listen to me, there should be a box filled with some of Wheeljack's experimental T.E.C.H. They look like normal electronic compliance, but they are weapons they'll have the Autobot symbol." Jazz looked to see Devastator thrashing around like a maniac. "Clyde, I'll get to you, I promise. Just wait."

In the base, Clyde was on a shelf that looked like it belonged in a warehouse with several crates that had writing in both English and Cybertronian languages. "I know, I trust you, Jazz." Clyde said as he looked a little worried. He found a crate labeled "T.E.C.H." with the Autobot symbol, opening it is had some electronics, one that looked like an oval spotlight flashlight that had a handle with the Autobot symbol on the side of it, the ones they would use by park rangers for searching the woods.

"Hope this is what Jazz was--" Clyde said before tapping the Autobot symbol with the side of it flipping open like a compartment with a screen and the lens popping out to be above the body of the spotlight like a sight for a weapon and a barrel popping out of it. "Yeap, this is it."

Outside the room, Nickel was looking around to see where the human was before hearing something, a clinging sound. She enters the room with all the crates to see a lot of supplies around. She walked in looking carefully as even though a normal Transformer was stronger than a normal human, she was still smaller than them and they could have tricks up their sleeves, all organics do in her mind.

"Come out and show yourself organic! I give you my word as a Decepticon that I'll treat you fairly as a prisoner for aiding the enemy!" Nickel told clearly a lie as she heard a sound and aimed her weapon and fired without hesitation to hit nothing but the wall. Looking down it was a wrench that fell.

She walked up to the fallen tool and saw next to it was a screwdriver. They both fell, she looked up to see a large box falling from above, she leaped out of the way before it hit the ground, she then used her jetpack to fly up to where the box fell flying up. "I lied you organic frag--" Nickel was cut off as Clyde aimed the weapon he had at Nickle and shot her in the chest knocking her back and crashing into a shelf. Nickel then fell to the ground and crashed hard on the ground, she tried to get up only for a crate from the shelf she crashed in and landed on top of her, breaking apart with the contents of rocks pouring out.

"Why do they have a crate of rocks?" Clyde said as he used some gauntlet that fired a grappling hook into the ceiling and lowered himself down, he started to run away but stopped as he looked back at the hurt Decepticon. He walked back to the downed Nickel and asked them a simple question: "You alright?"

Nickel's answer was slowly getting up, her right arm was broken, looking dislocated from either the crash, fall, the fallen crate, or all three, she looked at Clyde, and without hesitation, she screamed and launched herself at the boy who ducked down so she would miss. "I will disintegrate you!" Nickel said as she pulled the gun she had out of her broken arm and aimed it at Clyde, each shot missing as she was better with her right hand.

Clyde dodges out of her line of fire and out of sight behind some crates as cover. "Hey! Stop shooting! I was actually worried about you because I hurt you!" Clyde said telling her the truth, he never liked hurting anyone.

"Help?! HELP! You organics never help!" Nickel said as she dashed in the air to find Clyde who moved from his original spot and hid somewhere else. "You organics treat us mechanical life as nothing but just that a machine! We are living beings! More than metal!"

"I see you as more than that too! You're alive I know that!" Clyde said in agreement as he stayed hidden.

"LIES! You're just saying that to see if I offer mercy! Decepticons offer none!"

"Why would you say that?" Clyde said in the shadows seeing Nickel looking furious.

"It was organic life that ruined my colony! Millions of years ago organic lifeforms came to our world saying they came in peace, but they were testing a weapon to use in mechanical life! I lost everything in a single cycle!" Nickel said before seeing Clyde in the shadows and firing at him. "That is why all of you will one day fall!"

Clyde used the cover he had to stay safe but aimed the flashlight gun he had and fired it at Nickel's chest yet again knocking her down. "I am sorry for your home world, but just because some organic life did something to you doesn't mean we're all bad."

"All Organics... all of you think we machines are just that! I bet you think of that as well!" Nickel said as she tossed one of her tools, knocking the flashlight out of his hands. He then leaped out of the way as she charged at him with her jets only to miss but stop to turn to him.

Clyde felt like he was about to panic, he reached in his pockets to find something he could use before pulling out the alien key he was given, Nickle started to charge at him again only for him to reach out and block with the key, he didn't know why he did it but was suddenly glad as the key changed shape with the bow of the key getting larger before being held in his hands like a gun and the body of the key extending, the end of the key then fired a single blast that hits Nickle and covers her in an energy that stands her forces her to fall. Clyde looks down to the Decepticon. "That isn't true at all, I swear, the Autobots are my friends, if this war wasn't a thing, I would be your friend too..." Clyde said as he ran to the exit from the room and dashed out and away.

Nickel, in her anger just jetted herself at full speed to follow after him, going in the same direction she saw him running towards. Once she was down the hall, Clyde exited out of a room not far from the storage room where he was hiding.

Back in the lab, Wheeljack was thrown at a wall with several weapons he was testing by Skold, her eyes glowing red in anger. Wheeljack got up holding a projector-looking device that released a beam that hit Skold, holding her in place, and when he lifted up the beam it picked up Skold. "Anti-Gravity Projector holds and lifts whatever it hits." Wheeljack explained before it started to flicker on and off before turning completely off and dropping Skold. "Scrap, it does take a lot of energy."

Skold stood back up before picking something up off the ground, it looked like a one-handed mace, once she pulled it back it was sent flying behind her with a red chain connecting the to the blunt part of the weapon and handled she swung it like a flail at Wheeljack who managed to jump out of the way to avoid the weapon before it came back to the handle returning to normal. "I am so keeping this." Skold said as she looked at the weapon.

"Hey, you can't keep my stuff!" Wheeljack said as he tossed something at her, it was a disk-shaped object that landed on her shoulder, sticking to it like it was glued on before releasing electricity that didn't stun her or even bother her. Skold then slapped the disk off of her. "Guess my Mode-lock disks don't work on anyone with a beast mode... Scrap!" Wheeljack said before getting out of the way of the swinging mace.

She then grabbed the chain of the mace and swung it over her head before throwing it at Wheeljack who had what looked like a handle to a door that released a light wall that blocked the mace, but it didn't stop the force from the attack that knocked him off his feet. Once she had the mace back to normal, she looked at it and the spikes on her arm and swatted it with the mace much to Wheeljack's confusion until he remembered that Skold had an ability. "So that's how it works! Your shell absorbs energy you can store in your body and launch out in your beast mode." Wheeljack pointed out to her.

"Yes, it doesn't have to be any specific energy either, it just needs to his my shell, even kinetic energy." Skold said to Wheeljack thinking he fully understood her ability.

"That's an impressive ability."

"Re-really?" Skold was stunned that an enemy of hers actually thinks her ability is impressive. "You- You think my ability is... im-impressive?"

"Yeah, how does it work, does it absorb direct energy or any form of Energy?" Wheeljack asked Skold.

"O-oh, it is direct energy like kinetic Energy and laser fire that hits any part of my shell and-" She shakes her head to get things straight. "Sawed it! Skold, Terrorize!" Skold said before transforming into her snapping turtle mode and blasting a beam at Wheeljack that he dodged before pullout on something, it looked like a bullet that he fired at her which had burst like a firework. "What the heck is... Agh, my helm." Skold said changing back to robot mode looking dizzy after the sparks from the shot were on her.

"Gyro-inhibitor Shell, perfect for crowds of Decepticons or for closed-off areas to make a Bots Gyro unbalanced. Now then get ready to... surrender?" Wheeljack said to Skold before coming confused as he noticed something near the entrance.

There were three figures that looked as if the area around them was distorted, almost like what was behind them could be seen by caving in on itself. The three then flickered as if they were invisible to full view before being completely seen. One of them looked like an orange samurai with tank treads on their shoulders, a cannon on their back, and skull mask over their face with glowing red eyes. The other had a skinny dark green with some black highlighted body with a metallic goat skill on their left shoulder, their head looked like a jar full of a green glowing liquid with a head inside. The last one had white arms, upper legs and hamlet with black horns, there can and joints were a golden color but their lower legs and chest were black with blue markings, the most stand-out thing about this one was that the other two had symbols on their chest with sharped edged with horns while the last one had a large Autobot symbol on their chest that was heavily slashed with a small symbol as the other two below it.

Skold, using whatever sense of balance turned around to see the three. "Who are you guys?" Much to her confusion she didn't know the three before her, their ground was a team of ten, herself along with Nickle, Foxwire, Buzzsaw, and the six Constructicons. Wheeljack was also confused before the samurai's cannon on their back turned counterclockwise, turning 90 degrees, the cannon then folded aiming at Wheeljack.

"SCRAP!" Wheeljack used the shield he had in hand before the samurai fired his cannon hitting Wheeljack's shield but it was completely destroyed and the Autobot was sent flying and crashed into a wall and fell to the ground.

The jar-headed Decepticon walked towards the barrel that Skold and Nickel were after, it feel to the ground rolling to where Wheeljack was currently, so he picked it up with his clawed hands but Wheeljack reached out for their arm and with his other arm aimed a pistol right up to their head. "Don't move or you're going offline!" Wheeljack said a threat.

The jar-headed Decepticon chuckled before releasing a green mist from the hand that Wheeljack grabbed that covered the Autobot's face. The Decepticon ripped his arm from them and picked up the barrel with Wheeljack trying to fire a gun at them but couldn't, as he looked at his hands, he saw rust and panicked. "This is--?!"

"Cosmic Rust." The Jar-Headed Decepticon said as he walked a short distance before placing a blue vile on the ground. "I'm not a monster so here's the antidote. You can have it if you want but only if you reach it in time and looking at you now, I say you have a minute."

"You're really sick in the head, you know that?" The middle bot, the one wearing the black and blue armor said to the jarhead. "Maybe you should make something to fix your head."

"Hey, my head is perfectly fine, I'm just testing my work." The jarhead said to the unknown Transformers.

"Your work is a little too much."

Wheeljack tried to get up but every moment was painful, his legs gave out but it didn't make sense there was no way cosmic rust could spread this fast. This wasn't a normal trait of cosmic rust; this was modified to spread across his body so quickly. He noticed the three watching him before they turned around and walked out of the room. When they were gone Wheeljack reached for the vile with the last strength he had before his body wore out on itself and he went limp. Skold walked up to the vile and picked it off the ground, the Gyro-inhibitor Shell's effect wearing off of her, she looked at the vile and Wheeljack for just a few seconds.

Outside of the room Nickle was running down the hall before seeing Skold running out of the lab and looking in the direction of the thieves who took the device they were looking for where the two ran into each other. "Skold, what happened?!"

"Three random Transformers, I never saw them, I don't think they're Decepticons though," Skold said as they started to dash over to the exit to follow the third party. Nickel didn't have time, so she leaped onto Skold's back to her surprise. "Huh? Nickel, what are you--"

"Nickle, Powerlinx!" Nickel said as she started to glow before turning into a jetpack on Skold's back with it activating on her own and flew with Skold.

Outside of the base just after Jazz had hung up with Clyde the Autobots all looked at the combiner still wreaking havoc everywhere even in areas that didn't have anywhere to hide they were just destroying everything in their path.

"He is really angry." Arcee said, it was clearly odious but just wanted to blare it out. "Any ideas? His arm is too thick to shoot him to the sides and he is faster than we thought so we can't shoot the back of his joints."

"Not if we make him bend his joints, how could we deal them?" Jazz placed his hand to his chin to think but he couldn't think of anything.

"I have an idea," Slash spoke up with everyone turning to her. "When we first landed on this planet, we found something for what Scarr called "The Big One" It is something we wanted to tell you right away but wanted to wait for the right moment."

"Why?" Jazz asked.

"Um, it was... I'll try to explain later but until then we'll have to take this guy down." Slash wanted to explain but now wasn't the time. She turns to the other Dinobots with a smile on her face before raising her right arm. "Alright, Dinobots get ready for the Big one!"

"What the Big One?" Grimlock said confused as he scratched his chin with his tiny arms.

"Is Slug the Big One?" Slug was also confused, he turned to the other Dinobots with Swoop shrugging his wings without knowing anything either and Snarl just shaking his head. Sludge was just looking at a random rock before turning to Slash pretending that he was listening the whole time, he wasn't.

"No, guys... Volcanicus!" Slash said to the others with them all giving an "Oh!" to what she said before they all started to dash past her and into view. Jazz, Arcee, and Longarm looked at each other confused as to what "Volcanicus" was before the Dinobots were in plain view, side-by-side. "Dinobots, form Volcanicus!" Slash said atop the rock they were hiding behind before looking to the others. "I have been waiting to say that."

Devastator looked and noticed the team and thought they were easy targets before the Dinobots all released powerful and near-deafening roars as both Grimlock and Sludge leaped into the air while both Snarl and Slug stood on their hindlegs as their bodies morphed and changed, their bodies looking almost like post or rather legs.

While Grimlock and Sludge were both in the air their bodies started to do the same as they changed before they started to get closer with Grimlock's body looking like a block or a torso while most of Sludge's body split apart before mixing with Grimlock's almost looking just like an upper body with the front of the joints of their elbows and shoulders having golden spikes protruding from red spots. The upper body landed onto both Slug and Snarl connecting almost like a headless figure with Slug's head on the right knee and Snarl's on the left.

Swoop was flying behind and landed on the back with his head between both his and the goliath's bodies. His wings then extended to become bigger with the flaps of the wings being transparent and glowing orange almost like magma, making his wings almost twice as big as they were.

The goliath's body then had large hands and feet just exploded at the joints of the wrist and ankles along with where their head was meant to be releasing a geyser of flames as a head that almost looked like Grimlock's with golden highlights making it look like a crown. The combining forces of the Dinobots then moved, pulling something from their back that looked like a sword handle before swinging it with an orange blade popping out. "We are Volcanicus!"

Volcanicus

-Autobot

-Combiner

-A living walking volcano, better hope you're not their target

Everyone was shocked, the other Autobots and Devastator as they were gigantic and with weapons too, unlike the Decepticon combiner. But they didn't want to show weakness, so they played it off as if they weren't a threat. "One target instead of five, we can deal with that!" Devastator said as they marched forward and threw a punch that Volcanicus took as if it were an amateur before they threw their own punch that sent the Decepticon combiner flying.

After they crashed into the ground the three other Autobots looked at Slash with so many questions. "Right, after we arrived on this world we found something... It made them into a combiner before we lost it..."

"Wait, are you talking about the-- Hold up, you found and lost the--" Jazz didn't have time before looked back with Devastator got back up, and ran towards Volcanicus trying to hit them with punches that they dodged easily before delivering powerful knee kick into the Decepticon's side and then slashed their sword that cut into their chest slashing and burning them.

Devastator then threw a punch that Volcanicus grabbed before delivering a headbutt which forced them to go off balance. The Dinobot combiner then had their sword's blade turned off and placed it on their back before throwing one punch to the right, another to the left, a few punches like a pro boxer.

Volcanicus then leaped into the air, bending their legs almost like they were entering a fetal position before throwing his legs with a dropkick to Devastator's chest. They didn't land, however, as his wings made him stay into their air and sore higher. He pulled out the sword which released the sword and swung it releasing a powerful beam of flames that hit the enemy combiner, exploding on contact.

The smoke cleared up which showed Devastator managed to get back up but was clearly hurt as they struggled. Volcanicus then flew at full speed towards the Decepticon with their sword ready to do a powerful slash attack. Once they got too close Devastator just swung their arm like they were a fly which made the Dinobot combiner go off course where they ended up crashing into the ground.

Devastator then turned to their enemy who was trying to get back up, but they ran towards them and jumped into the air before landing on Volcanicus' back forcing them to the ground. They then jumped into the air again just to slam their feet onto them again, got off their back, and kicked them in the side which flipped them over onto their back.

The Constructicon combiner then stood over them, sat on them, and started to throw punch after punch at their face with so much anger in just one minute of fighting. As they were getting beaten, Volcanicus placed their hand on the ground with it starting to glow before becoming magma, picking it up and tossing it into Devastator's face getting into their optics, blinding them. "AH! OUR OPTICS! YOU LITTLE--" Devastator said before getting a punch right at the side of their head knocking them off of them.

Volcanicus got back up and picked up their sword, turning back to Devastator who was giving them another punch center which did make them back up, but they swung their sword and managed to cut their arm. "AGH! Alright, Shockwave said we have some upgrades but let's see what else he has for us!" Devastator said as he clenched his fist as hard as he could with his right hand entering his arm and a drill popping out surprising him. "Oh! So, we could do that now!"

Devastator then swung his arm to jab the drill into their enemy's chest but was blocked by their sword. The drill started to spin into the sword with the blade made of energy, breaking wouldn't be a problem but so they wouldn't be harmed they had a new idea. Volcanicus, with just a light leap, managed to soar into the sky away from them.

The Dinobot combiner then swung their sword to release a beam that was launched at them, but they used their drill to intercept the attack which blew up right into their face, blinding them with smoke. They looked up to see their enemy missing, looking around there was no one before hearing something to his left, looking they saw Volcanicus flying at them from the side before slashing them in the chest, knocking them down to the ground.

Volcanicus then soared into the air again, the sword pointed downwards at Devastator, and then they started to fall. They were getting closer, so Devastator panicked and the next thing that happened, their hands, feet, and heads had sunk into their body before they split back into six different Decepticons. Volcanicus' swords stabbed into the ground which made the ground explode sending the Constructicons flying from the blast.

The Constructicons all got up from the explosion, Hook, Long Haul, and Bonecrusher were next to each other as they got up to their feet only for Long Haul to get something wrapped around their arm, it looked like a small hook and cable. Before they looked around the source of the cable appeared, Longarm in his miniature crane truck on top of Jazz's alt mode started to drive around the trio, the cable wrapping around them.

Mixmaster and Scrapper helped each other up before hearing something with Slash dashed past them, sliding between the two and slashing both of their legs which exploded on them. The two then fell to the ground with their legs injured.

The last one, Scavenger saw Slash was close so he pulled out two large rifles but before firing he looked up to see Arcee leaping above him aiming two pistols at him and rapidly firing all over the Construticon's body before landing in front of them, her pistols folding into place and forming two short swords with glowing blue blades and slashed them in the chest knocking them down to the ground, she pointed the sword to his throat, without saying it, telling him to stay down.

Jazz drove while dragging the three he had behind him before Longarm released the cable, the three didn't stop before crashing into a bolder on the ground, the six Constructicons were close together and looked up to see Arcee, Slash, Jazz, Longarm, and Volcanicus looking over them. "AH! No fair! Since when did you Autobots get a Combiner on Earth?!" Scavenger said in frustration.

"After you tell us why you're here? Make it short too." Arcee said intimidatingly clearly, that they didn't want jokes or anything, they wanted answers.

"Like we'd tell any of you!" Said Long Haul.

"They don't know anything." Jazz said to the other Autobots.

"Hey! Yes, we do!" Mixmaster retorted in annoyance.

"Yeah! We know plenty! Came to this island and find something!" Hook said with the other Constructicons slowly turning their heads to look at him, all frustrated with him confused at first before realizing what he just said. "Aw scrap."

"YOU IDIOT!" Said the others in perfect union.

"Scrap, when we found the Dinobots ship there was something Decepticon in origin that must be what they're after!" Jazz said before transforming into his Alt mode and starting to dash over to the base. He needed to get to Clyde and keep him safe. The moment he reached the entrance he saw it was knocked in and ran in only to be pushed by something. He looked up to see the three strange transformers with bizarre marks on them. The three who were in Wheeljack's lab. "Who--" Before Jazz could ask, Slash dashed to him and pushed him down to avoid being shot but the middle transformer who had a pistol in their hand.

Slash then leaped over the jar-headed one to slash their shoulder but they didn't even mind before they reached up and grabbed Slash as they were mid-air and tossed them to the side. Jazz rushed in to aid her, but the orange samurai-looking Transformer stood between them, backhanded Jazz with so much force that sent them back a few feet onto their back, they then walked forward, picking up Jazz by their head into the air, Jazz didn't give them the satisfaction of letting out any pain, they instead released light from the headlights on their chest, the light wasn't natural or normal, it was powerful and blinding. The samurai dropped Jazz and stepped backward with Jazz shooting them into a rifle they picked up off the ground with it doing little effect.

Arcee watched before taking out her pistol and with precision fired at the remaining Transformer who just casually walked behind the samurai who tanked the shots like they were nothing, she then looked at the Constructicons. "Who are those three?" She said aiming her weapon at Scraper's head, right at his optics.

"We don't know, it was just meant to be the ten of us, we don't even think they're Decepticons." Scraper said before Arcee was kicked away from them, it was Foxwire with Buzzsaw on their arm. They used them to cut the cable that had them wrapped up to free them, they then all then ran in different directions to avoid Volcanicus stomping their foot down at them.

Back at the entrance of the lab, the samurai transformer's optic returned to normal before they drew a katana sword and held it like a warrior. They then heard something else, turning their head, they saw Skold flying in with Nickel as a jetpack on them, they swung their weapon downwards at them but Skold used the armor on her arms to block it and punched them in the face but they didn't budge. Instead, they grabbed Skold's face before she could fly out and slammed her on the ground as hard as they could. The cannon on the back did what it did at the lab, turned sideways, and shifted to aim at what was in front of them, at Skold and fired but she used her armor again absorbing the shot.

"Deal with the big guy," Nickle said before removing herself from Skold's back and noticing the normal-looking bot carrying the barrel they were after. "Everyone else, get that barrel!"

Skold nodded her head before turning into her snapping turtle beast mode and fired a blast from her mouth dead center on the samurai's chest knocking them back. The jarhead aimed a wrist-mounted weapon on their left arm at the two but was hit on the now open left side by Slash from behind, they turned around and when their eyes met, Slash knew them. They all then evaded something, a hail of laser fire from the oncoming Constructicons heading towards them with Volcanicus after them. It was almost like total chaos with everyone fighting someone, the only one fighting was the last of the unknown intruders as he watched in the dead center of all the fighting. He then saw Nickle floating close to his head with a pistol to his head.

"Hand that over or-"

"You won't shoot," the unknown transformer said confusing Nickle. "More like you won't be able to anyway, better just take care of everyone at once." They said before tapping the smaller symbol on their chest below the Autobot one, Nickel noticed it and was confused, were they Autobots? No, they weren't.

The moment they tapped their symbol, the other two unknown intruders' symbols lit up, glowing purple. The Jarhead had a clear smirk on their face as Slash leaped into the air ready to cut them down the middle. The Samurai and Jazz were quickly surrounded by the Constructicons who aimed their rifles and pistols at them, above them, Volcanicus was about to step on them like they were just bugs. As for the last Bot, Foxwire was running at them with Buzzsaw removing himself from their wrist and Arcee close behind them with Longarm getting ready to throw his line at them while they were on her back.

"By the way, my name is Rampage." Said the Unknown transformer named Rampage. Suddenly, the blue on their armor changed to yellow with a sudden wave released from them, like a bumble that spread engulfing anything that came near it, and then there was pain.

All the Transformers, Autobots, and Decepticons fell over, and everything felt distorted, but they all felt one thing, pain, everything was painful, especially the noise, everything felt like it was going beyond full blast on the highest amp of volume imaginable.

Mixmaster fell to the ground but when he had his hand on the ground it felt like they were pushing the ground in making a crater that was sinking them in before falling over. Jazz fell down and when he hit the floor it was like he was still falling, stuck in a permanent free fall, he reached his hands up but from his perspective, it was as if they were extending like rubber bands, he tried to pull them back but they just wouldn't. Nickel thought it was like a dome, she flew up but to her she felt like she was being ripped apart and looked down to see her torso extending with her legs staying where they originated, she thought this had to be an illusion, but it was all too real. Slash missed the jarhead only for her to land on the ground before becoming flat like paper when she connected to the ground, she thought it was affecting everyone and was just some sort of trick only for the jarhead to walk forward, picking up her head like it was a piece of paper, pinching it before letting her go and fall slowly.

Skold was using all her strength to stand and march forward, it all came from this Rampage, right? Then taking him out would solve it, but when she took a step forward his legs felt like they just caved in and were crushed like soda cans, with every step it was more painful than the last and when she got close she threw a punch at them only for when her arm came into contact with his leg, just like her legs, it caved in and folded inwards.

The worst was Volcanicus as the strange for was too much for them, they howled in total pain before falling apart. Sludge falling down, he felt like they were melting from all this. Slug and Snarl looked and saw he was indeed melting like ice, they tried to turn back but suddenly when they did their bodies started to twist and turn like rubber bands and they didn't stop. Swoop felt like they were stuck in their air and when they pressed their wings to their head due to the pain, they felt it was as if their head was being crushed from their own hold. Grimlock had it the worst as when he landed he yelled out: "Grimlock, maximize!" and started to transform only when he started to change, he felt like he was being ripped apart, piece by piece, every part he had, he felt like being dismantled by his frame work from the last screw, no to the smallest piece, even parts that shouldn't be taken apart such as the circuitry from his brain was being taken apart.

The jarhead and samurai then slowly walked up, the two then looked to Grimlock in agony, the samurai held the chin with their hand as they looked at the king of the Dinobots, reduced to this, it was like they were admiring it like an art piece. They then pulled out was looked like a giant flip phone before opening it and taking a picture of what was happening to Grimlock. Rampage just slapped them at the side with disgust on their face. They then saw the jarhead admiring how each of the Constructicons was being treated by the effects with Hook's line being extended out, Mixmaster having chemicals released from their mouth like a waterfall, Scrapper and Long Haul falling into pits after falling, Scavenger falling apart into pieces, and Bonecrusher looking as if they were being crushed like a soda can.

"Enough," Rampage said before snapping his fingers with the wave of energy he released closing back to him. His yellow changed back to blue. Everyone turned back to normal as if they had no damage done to them. The only thing that was left behind was the intense pain they were in. "The effects weren't permanent if that was you were worried about."

"What... what are you?" Jazz said as he used the strength he had left to stand up, only for the samurai to walk up to them with a raised sword, ready to cut them down. "Back off from my friend!" Said the voice of Wheeljack before a stream of energy hit them on the side and sent the samurai back. From the lab's entrance was Wheeljack with what looked like a cannon he was carrying. Next to him was Clyde as he watched from a distance.

"Ha! Hope you like my Shock Blast Cannon! Bet you can't handle a second--" Wheeljack said before feeling extreme heat from the cannon. "Shot... scrap! Think fast!" Wheeljack said before tossing the cannon at the samurai who quickly slashed it only for it to explode in their face, the smoke cleared showing they were still active. "Man, you guys are tough, just who or what are you?"

The three then stood side by side of each other. Rampage spoke up. "I am Rampage, I am the one in charge of this team, we are a new force of nature, we are the Terrorcons," Rampage explained.
