Story summary: NEST started to move what they found in the bunker to a secured location but were attacked by an unknown assailant and the Terrorcons Mayhem Attack Squad, while this happens Ronnie Anne was given control of the suit thanks to the medical A.I. Minerva.

The US 50 was turning into a war zone, everyone was firing back and forth, NEST soldiers shooting with weapons while taking cover against the masked soldiers fighting them while the Wreckers were dealing with Mayhem. One such soldier stepped out of one of the semi-trucks they were driving and fired back towards the armed men all within fully operational robotic suits, such as O'Neal exiting out of his with a rocket launcher, aiming it and firing it at one of the robotic suits that fell down, landing beside Off-Road's feet, the men inside had taken hit to the head but were still alive, Off-Road just ripped the machine opened to free the two trapped inside before scoffing. "Hehe, these blokes have a fair chance in the pits of winning like this, why don't we help this little barney."

"RAMPAGE TOLD US NOT TO FIGHT THE HUMANS! JUST DEAL WITH THE WRECKERS IN CASE THEY HAVE BACKUP!" Ruckus shouted at the others as they started to walk over to the other fight.

With Rampage, his fist with through Hot Rod's chest as he gasped in pain before he opened his fist, a blue orb made of energy floated in front of him, it was like a small sun that was starting to burn out. Rampage was slowly closing his hand again, as if he was going to crush the orb before Hot Rod, but before he could he was shot in the arm, Kup delivering a clean hit making Rampage knockback away from Hot Rod. The young Autobot fell onto his knees and placed a hand on his chest to find nothing, there was no hole or damage, turning back he saw the Terrorcon rising up. "How-- How did you do that?"

Rampage didn't speak, but rather he looked on in hatred towards the Autobot before pulling out two blunt sword-like weapons. "Why would I tell you?" Rampage spouted venom, his back then made a clicking sound before something came out of his back, a small impish bat freak the size of a child. "Skar, go get the relic, this fight is mine." The monster then leaped off his back as he then charged toward his enemy, Hot Rod pulled out his sword and blocked each hit thrown at them. As they fight, Kup aimed his rifle at the Terrorcon, but before he could fire he was hit in the back by some sort of small wrecking ball, it came from Battletrap as they walked over to the Wrecker to swing his weapon again but was hit by a blast from Impactor who ran over to his friend and help them up.

"Keep your head in the game, Kup. Mayhem wasn't alone." Impactor looked to Whirl and Alpha Bravo, who ran over to them with Berserker and Battletrap getting back up from all the fighting. Tankor looked at them with saw-bladed hands spinning, but a rain of missiles fell from the sky, knocking them back on their backs. Looking up they saw two jets in the air one green and the other tan, Fractyl and Windsweep, Impactor turned to the two flyers. "Whirl, Alpha Bravo, can you take them?"

"We've shot down faster bots and--" Whirl stated before Alpha Bravo rushed into the fight, transforming and shooting at the jets. "What the-- Alpha Bravo is rushing in? That's my thing!" Whirl then transformed into a helicopter to join the firefight above.

Impactor knew why Alpha Bravo went into the air. He was seeking answers, but he couldn't stop them as they had another problem. Both Impactor and Kup looked to see Battletrap and Berserker heading towards them, unaware that both Chop Shop and Barrage were sneaking behind them for a sneak attack.

The Mini-Con Skar flew above all the fighting and towards one of the trucks going on top of it and spat out some sort of green venom that melted into the trailer, making a hole before crawling inside like a demonic baby as they roamed around the trailer, they then crawled out as they went into the wrong one. As they entered another one, the one up front was almost untouched other than the semi-truck having its wheels damaged, Carnivac was sneaking around before making it right next to the trailer, using his jaws and fangs to rip open a hole into the trailer and sneak inside the trailer.

Just above that trailer, a ground bridge opened up with Roadbuster, Ironfist, Rack'n'Ruin, and Broadside ran out of it, with Roadbuster shouting: "WRECK & RULE!" He started to unleash rounds of lasers, a hailstorm of an attack toward the robotic suits, not seeing the humans inside but before he could hit one of them, Broadside grabbed them and pulled Roadbuster behind the trailer they took cover. "Hey! What the Frag!"

"You have optics, use them! The first thing I saw were humans!" Broadside pointed out, Roadbuster looked over the trailer and noticed the humans. "See? I'm calling O'Neal and-- oh there he is, and the others are fighting... SCRAP!" Broadside and the others ran over to help out, Broadside was getting his axe ready but was hit from the side by a truck ramming into him before it transformed into Off-Road. "Ah! The Stunticon?"

"The Stunticon with the Ozzy accent." Off-Road then pooped out his axe, Roadbuster aimed and fired but his target was moving around; he was hit in the back of the head by Ruckus throwing the Wrecker off balance, Ruckus then released a powerful scream that knocked Roadbuster and Broadside back. Rack'n'Ruin and Ironfist tried to help but Roadbuster signaled for them to help the others, they nodded and ran past them to help while the two large Wreckers fought the smaller yet faster Mayhem members.

Impactor and Kup were dealing with Berserker and Battletrap, the fight was back and forth between the two, the orange Battletrap sewing a wrecking ball like a flail in case they came close and fired his machine gun when he had distance while Berserker was blocking any shot from the Wreckers with his shield. Rack'n'Ruin ran past his comrade throwing an object at the shield that stuck it like a magnet, they transformed into their alt mode to drift behind the two before the object blew up knocking Berserker back followed by the twins driving towards them, transforming back, and slamming two hammers on his back, knocking them down. Battletrap aims his machine at the twins but can't fire as Kup was thrown by Impactor, delivering a powerful drop kick in their faces. Impactor smirked but dropped it as both Chop Shop and Barrage leaped from a trailer and jumped onto the Wrecker leader.

Just a few feet away, Hot Rod and Rampage were dueling in close quarters between swords and twin blunt objects, clashing both weapons into each other. Rampage then started to act up, his body was moving rapidly and frantically like he was glitching out, and he didn't block one slash that went through him like a phantom, leaving no mark or anything confusing Hot Rod, Rampage then thrust one of his weapons into Hot Rod, like earlier there was no hole but Hot Rod felt pain like he had never done before with his body heating up, turning red like metal being smelted, it felt like everything was slow down before Rampage was shot from behind by Ironfist who fired a shot into their back as they joined in. Both Autobots stood side by side ready for the fight, but both were hit from behind by missiles from the robotic suits but before they could get up, Oil Slick walked over to them, aiming his chemical spraying weapon that them but couldn't fire as Ironhide's backpack turret fired on its own hitting them in the chest, knocking them down.

Away from the fighting, Agent O'Neal was watching and fighting back, the Wreckers were close but fighting their own battles, looking up he could even see Whirl and Alpha Bravo were fighting two jets, they were holding their own, but the jets were too fast for them. He ducked his head down as an explosion was too close to them, sending dirt everywhere. "These little-- I need to get these things out of the way." O'Neal then tried to call out but remembered that Ironfist had comms and was too far away. "Ironfist, do you have anything that could take out the robots?!"

Ironfist got up and scratched his head, pressing his fingers against his head to report back. "If I did, I would have used it already. I do have things, but they might be lethal to the humans inside those things."

"Don't worry!" Roadbuster shouted as he picked up Ruckus over his head followed by him slamming them down onto his knee, a cracking sound could practically be heard as he threw Ruckus away. "Before we left, I grabbed something from your lab, it should take out the robot suits without harming the humans." Ironfist was confused, along with O'Neal and the other Wreckers who heard, before his chest opened up and he grabbed something. "You ready?"

"Yeah, I almost heaved on your floor mats." A voice spoke out, it was over the comms too, so everyone heard, the voice was familiar. Roadbuster pulled out Ronnie Ane in her Powermaster armor. "Let's do this!"

"Is that Ronnie Anne?!" Ironfist shouted and pointed at what they saw.

"WAIT WHAT?!" Hot Rod shouted in total worry.

"Throwing Tactical Assault Human!" Roadbuster yelled as he threw Ronnie Anne into the air, she was thrown far and landed on the windshield of one of the robots, she punched through it and grabbed both men inside and tossed them out before going inside, Minerva instructed Ronnie Anne to slammer her hands into the controls which she did, the robots controls were then glowing blue before it started to move and fire at other robotic suits nearby. "That kid is awesome!"

"Roadbuster! What the FRAG! Were you thinking?!" Ironfist shouted over comms.

"Why did you bring the kid?!" Impactor ordered an explanation as he stabbed his harpoon into the shoulder of Chop Shop and slammed them into Barrage, followed by a kick to the downed Insecticons. Roadbuster just looked blankly at the team's leader as he remembered Ronnie Anne's very convincing words just five minutes ago.

Five Minutes Ago

The Wreckers were racing to the ground bridge, ready to help in the fighting but Roadbuster heard someone call out. "Hey, Buster." Looking down he saw Ronnie Anne still in her suit. "Let me join in the fighting." She stated, ready for action.

"Okay."

Five Minutes Later

"She was very convincing!" Roadbuster replied before taking a punch to the face by Ruckus who got back up, he then realized he was weaker and tried to run away before getting picked up and had a repeated outcome not more than a minute ago, being slammed onto Roadbuster's knee and into their back.

"AGH! I HATE BEING SMALL!"

Back with Ronnie Anne, she was holding her own, using the robotic suit she hijacked with missiles close to the feet at the robots but her mech was hit from the legs by a car, one of the robotic suits changing back into a car knocking her down, but she leaped out of the windshield before it hit the ground, landing onto the hood then stabbing it with her sword hands repeatedly before looking into the two in the car, giving them a rude hand gesture and jump off. She then saw just one of the robots left, it was making it to the trailers, walking between the gaps of two of them, she then started to run at full speed.

The robot made it to the other side, several soldiers all opened fire at them but it was highly durable, that was until Ronnie Anne ran by slashing both of the legs clean off from the body making them fall down, she then backflipped on the downed robot, slashing the windshield, pulling the two out and Judo throw them into the ground. Ronnie Anne then looked and saw Agent O'Neal, waving at them, her visor entering back into her helmet and mask separating into two. "Hey, O'Neal, look!" She then made her energy blades, showing them off. "I have knife hands!"

"I can see that..." O'Neal looked with worry before taking a mental note to get those bands away from her at all costs for her safety and because he wanted knife hands too. He then remembered it was Ronnie Anne on a battlefield. "What are you doing here?!"

"Helping." She stated, acting like there wasn't an issue.

"You-- You're just a kid and-- hang on, we'll talk later." Agent O'Neal walked over to one of the masked men, grabbing them to toss at the trailer with a gun towards their head, so far, the fighting with the machines was dealt with leaving Mayhem fighting the Wreckers so O'Neal was going to do a part of his job, get information. "Talk! Who do you work for"?

"Hehe... go screw yourself Jason." The masked man replied, making Agent O'Neal's eyes widen in shock and surprise.

"Jason?" Ronnie Anne said in confusion. "Who's Jason? Is that your name?"

"No, it was an alias I used, it was taken from the leader of the Argonauts from Greek mythos." Agent O'Neal explained before punching the masked man's gut, knocking the wind out of them. "Silas liked the name. So, you know me as Jason, which means you work for Silas huh? Where is he?!" O'Neal then pressed his arm against their throat, using his body weight to push them into the trailer before backing off to let them breathe. "NOW!"

"I won't talk," The grunt spat back before being punched in the face, knocking them out and placing handcuffs on their arms, binding them, and taking them prisoner.

Back to the fight, nothing had changed, everyone was just either shooting or bashing around except for Tankor who was stuck on his back, and Flatline who was hiding away from the fight. Ronnie Anne was watching from a distance, the humans were either regrouping or running away from the fight for their safety, she noticed Tankor on their back and ran over to help, O'Neal called out to stop her, but she was moving fast, rather faster than she was before in the suit. She made it to the super-soldier who was on his back like a turtle, trying to push them but he was too heavy. "Come! On! Big guy!" She screamed as she tried to use all the strength she had but made little effort before stopping. "There has to be a better idea."

"Duck your head, Ronnie Anne," Minerva spoke up.

"Huh?" Ronnie Anne was confused before her body moved on its own, or rather Minerva's control to avoid a piece of shrapnel the size of her head nearly hitting her head. "Whoa, thanks, Minerva. Hey, do you have any idea?"

"Certainly," Minerva then showed something on Ronnie Anne's visor, it was a hologram of Tankor, and it was changing into their tank alt mode. "Just have them transform, it has them flip over onto their treads."

"Alright," Ronnie Anne then ran to Tankor's head and told them. "Tankor, listen pal, I need you to transform into your alt mode, okay." She said to Tankor who just nodded and started to transform, changing their body's proportions and changed to a tank that was on the back end, almost like a wall before it tipped over, landing on his tank treads. "Yes!" She jumped into the air in celebration before being picked up by Hot Rod along with Ironfist right being them as they were being chased by Rampage and Oil Slick, the two Autobots firing back at the two Terrorcons. "Hey Hot Rod, like my new look?" Ronnie Anne asked.

"Ronnie, now is-- Actually yeah, you look good in red, but that doesn't matter! What are you doing here?" He asked with worry about her safety.

"I just wanted to help, Ironfist put Minerva inside my suit, she can control it and stuff." Ronnie Anne explained with Minerva sending a subtle 'Hello' over a call between them and Ironfist. "I just wanted to help, I am sick of being left behind, this suit can protect me, right? Then why run away when I can stand up and help." Ronnie Annex said to Hot Rod, that he couldn't really argue, they never want humans to fight with them in fear of them getting hurt but here she was, willing to fight back, to defend herself in a fight. Hot Rod then stopped running and turned around with Ironfist, raising his fist after placing Ronnie Anne on his shoulder, ready to fight Rampage and Oil Slick, the slight payback time for what they did to them earlier.

Back with one of the trailers, Carnivac came out of it with the case Ronnie Anne had from the laboratory in his mouth before jumping at the sound of something landing on the trailer, looking up he saw the impish Mini-con that came from Rampage, melting into the roof to enter, they rolled their eyes before walking away.

In the sky, Alpha Bravo and Whirl faced the two jets, bullets, lasers, and bombs flying around in the air, nearly hitting anyone. For both Wreckers, it was a normal fight; they had fought and survived faster and worse opponents. This fight, however, was slightly different, usually Whirl is reckless in an aerial fight, yet both were reckless. Alpha Bravo's mind was rather clouded, his mind frustrated about one thing, Thrust, he wanted to take them out on sight, he hated that one Bot, the traitor.

As the fighting above and below went on, Alpha Bravo realized something, one of the Terrorcon jets was flying in a patterned, tan colored jet, staying in a particular flight path, they were going around in a loop, going high and low repeatedly, so Alpha Bravo aimed at one spot. Once the Tan jet came close to that spot, took a moment before firing three missiles that each landed, hitting both their wings and the engine nozzle, making them unable to stay up and started to crash in the distance away from the highway, most would think the jet was guiding itself, gliding with broken wings but really it was out of their control, for if anyone knows about jets or plane alt modes for transformers, it is an Aerialbot. "One of the Terrorcons is crashing on the ground away from the fighting, I'll follow them to stop them from getting away!" Alpha Bravo announced a cover so as to not raise suspicion.

"Alpha Bravo, hold on--" Impactor tried to protest but fell on deaf ears as they started to fly away to chase the Terrorcon that was crashing away from the road, landing into some piles of rocky hills. Just close by, someone watching in blue armor holding a rifle in their hands, seeing the jet crashing just out of view.

The jet crashed before transforming into their robot mode, the former Decepticon Windsweeper, try tried to get back up onto their feet, they then heard something landing behind them, looking over his shoulder he saw Alpha Bravo with two weapons, one for each hand, a rifle and twin machine guns, both trained on them, they locked optics for a few seconds before the Terrorcon tried to reach for a weapon before two missiles launching from the Wreckers wrists hitting both weapons that were holstered weapons then being shot in the leg by the rifle making them kneel.

"AGH!" Windsweeper yelled in pain after being shot, he was then kicked in the back landing on his side to see the Wrecker aiming their weapons at them. "Ah... Alright, I give..."

"Shut up! Where is Thrust!" Alpha Bravo demanded.

Windsweeper looked confused before they realized who they were and what they wanted. "Oh, I get it, poor little Aerialbot looking for payback, too bad--" Windsweeper tried to insult the Wrecker only to get punched in the face. "AH! I get it, you want to even the score between you and the trailer, right?"

"There is no score, just a debt to pay... Now," Alpha Bravo collected himself as he aimed at the Terrorcon. "Where is Thrust?"

"Get melted Blade spinner! I am a lot of things but a snitch? I am not one of them! If I sell one of us out, our boss will do things the DJD wouldn't try and keep us alive so just take me in, I'll take a jail cell over a hole in my chest..." Windsweeper said as he raised his hands, showing they were empty, his plan was to just stay quiet and he'll be fine but then Alpha Bravo lowered his weapons, holstering them, and reached for something on his back, one of the four blades on his back. "What are you doing?" Windsweeper asked confused about this action before the Wrecker stood closer, realizing what he was doing. "Wait... Wait!"

Back at the fight, the Wreckers and Mayhem was going on, Hot Rod and Ronnie Anne working together, Ronnie Anne using her small size and quick movement to move below Rampage, cutting into the heel of their feet while Hot Rod was using his sword to slash at the Terrorcon. Ironfist facing Oil Slick, the chemist using a chemical weapon to launch a liquid before it got clogged by some sort of putty from one of Ironfist's many weapons. Impactor, Kup, Rack'n'Ruin, and Tankor were facing Battletrap, Berserker, Chop Shop, and Barrage like an all-out brawl, a drunken bar fight with fists or anything they can use to bash, stab, or slash each other. Broadside was fighting Off-Road, both using an ax to attack each other with the Terrorcon giving off insults that the Wrecker couldn't understand. Roadbuster was throwing Ruckus around like a weapon, even throwing them at one of the Insecticons.

Rampage grunted in pain as his foot was yet again cut from the human that was moving around like a cockroach, annoying them like crazy. He backed away from Hot Rod, his body started to cut up again, this time was more frantic in motion, almost like a bomb about to go off, but stopped as he revealed something, a message, pressing his fingers to his head to listen to someone. "Yes, my lord?" Rampage said as he resorted back to normal. "Yes sir." He then released his fingers and shouted. "Mayhem! The mission is complete, retreat now!"

Suddenly, each of Mayhem's badges started to glow, releasing an orange color to them, all except Ruckus' who looked worried about the matter. "RAMPAGE! WAIT! MY BADGE ISN'T--" His loud cries fell on deaf ears before Rampage released a wave of energy, making a dome of energy that surrounded everyone. Each of the Wreckers started to scream in pain, Hot Rod was heating up as if was melting from the inside, Impactor tried to stab his harpoon into Berserker's shield but once they connected his harpoon was crushed like an empty soda can his whole body was following the same result, Roadbuster and Broadside pulled out their heavy weapons and fired but the blast either launched their upper boys away stretching out with their legs staying put or spinning into a tornado of twisted metal, Ironfist's hands started to feel heavy before they felt to the ground and sunk into the ground dragging the Wrecker in, Kup felt as if he was falling apart, he tried to transform only for his arms and legs to fall off from his body making him fall to the ground and shattered into pieces. As for Ruckus, he opened his mouth to scream only for his mouth to start to warp and stretch as they screamed but there was no sound.

Ronnie Anne felt as if the sound itself was hurting her, her ears ringing and banging at the same time as if every horrid sound was being heard at the exact same time, hurting her badly before suddenly it all stopped. She opened her eyes to see everything was back to normal with the Wreckers all falling either on their backs or kneeling down. Rampage then noticed Ruckus was also on the ground, hit by the effect of his ability. "Oops, sorry Ruckus, guess your badge wasn't working."

"YOU FRAGGING THINK YOU SON OF A GLITCH!" Ruckus shouted in fury. He was then picked up by Berserker, a ground bridge opening with the Terrorcons walking through it to get away, the last jet-following, swooping down with Whirl trying to follow them only for the ground bridge to close. Another one opened away from the Wreckers for the several soldiers that lost their robotic suits to get away.

"Frag! They got away!" Whirl said in disappointment before seeing the Wreckers in the state they were in. "Oh Frag, you guys alright?" Whirl asked with the Wreckers each getting back up from the damage they were in.

"We're fine..." Impactor said with each of the Wreckers getting up, he then looked around to see Alpha Bravo was missing. "Where is Alpha Bravo? Did he chase after that Terrorcon that crashed?"

I saw him go after them in that direction." Whirl said as he pointed in a direction.

"Wreckers!" Agent O'Neal shouted as he started to chase after the team. "What was that? That weird dome?"

"Unclear, but we're down a member, Hot Rod, Kup, Whirl, you're with me, let's find Alpha Bravo," Impactor stated O'Neal trying to protest but the Wreckers just Transformed and started to drive off, he looked around and noticed Ronnie Anne wasn't with them, she was with the four that drove off.

Near where the Terrorcon crashed site, they noticed nothing until there was a loud scream. Moving faster they looked around everywhere for the sound before finding Alpha Bravo standing over Windsweeper on the ground, holding one of his arms, severed from their body. "My... arm!" Windsweeper said in pain as he held the stump that was once his arm.

"I'll cut off the other one, now talk!" Alpha Bravo demanded an answer.

"Alpha Bravo, stand down!" Impactor ordered, turning around the Aerialbot seeing the Wreckers running towards them, he dropped the arm and stepped back. "What did you do?!"

"I was getting answers... about the Terrorcons and Mayhem." Alpha Bravo responded to Impactor's question but he was still not alright with this. "What? We've done worse to--"

"This is Windsweeper, a mere soldier and neat freak, we have ripped Cons apart but every time we did it was those who did the unspeakable! Trannis was a coward that sent workers to their death in radioactive mines with no signs of remorse, Zardak lobotomized neutrals to turn them into mindless Decepticons, Octus enjoyed forcing his prisoners to death pits, Legonis sat back and allowed Quintessons he enslaved to rip apart Autobot Prisoners and don't get me started on Overlord. Each of those monsters had it coming and more and their own cruel and disgusting soldiers either laughed at the cruelty of their master's actions or partook in it. This is just a simple low-level grunt. After we bring them in, you and I are going to have a talk." Impactor said to Alpha Bravo who just lowered his head in shame. Impactor then turned to see Kup looking over Windsweeper.

"We'll help you out, get you medical help if you compile and sell out the Terrorcons, Mayhem and those guys, also what that message was about, we picked it up before the fighting went down, what was that about Punch and Counterpunch?" Kup asked.

"Punch and Counterpunch? You mean you don't--" Before Windsweeper spoke more, there was a loud BANG that echoed in the area, then a large hole in the side of Windsweeper's chest going right through him, his body going limp before turning lifeless, his body turning grey, he was dead.

"SNIPER!" Kup shouted as he and the Wreckers all got out of view from where the shot came from Hot Rod grabbed Ronnie Anne and ran with Kup, they both hit behind a large hill and piles of rocks with Impactor, Whirl, and Alpha Bravo hit behind a large builder that gave them cover. Hot Rod used his sword to reflect where the shot came from to see the reflected light of the rifle's scope before it was suddenly gone. "How many did you see?"

"Just one but they left their sniper's nest, Windsweeper was at a loose end and had to cut it." Hot Rod suspected before placing Ronnie Anne on the ground. "Okay kid, stay here while I rush after the sniper and--" Hot Rod was interrupted by the hit in the head by the butt of a rifle, it was Kup's. "Ow!"

"Do you have a brick for a processor or something? You want to rush after a sniper without a plan?!" Kup pointed out the many plot holes in his idea.

Hot Rod did admit that it was a dumb idea but then realized something. "Okay, here is a new plan. Impactor, do you have any smoke screen rounds?" He asked with Impactor nodding, Hot Rod used his sword to reflect to see the landscape that led to the large hill, memorizing it. "Okay, Kup, Impactor will fire smoke rounds while you and I go after the sniper." Hot Rod told him his plan, it was a risky one but a sniper's greatest weapon is actually distance and vision so cutting them off would make it less risky, Kup agreed and the two got ready with Impactor firing several cylinder projectiles that opened up with black smoke, Hot Rod and Kup started to drive but Hot Rod missed to do one thing, he forgot to leave Ronnie Anne behind.

It was too late to leave her behind and kept going, racing at the full speed that they had to make it to the hill, the reflection from the sniper's scope was gone but they kept on going, making it to the hill before going around it and finding someone, a transformer in all blue armor and holding a rifle, it was Counterpunch. Upon seeing the spymaster, Hot Rod sped up to ram right into the Decepticon spy before they jumped over them, with Kup they transformed to throw a punch, but Counterpunch grabbed the old Autobot's wrist and threw them to the wall of the hill. "Hot Rod, Kup, and--" Counterpunch spoke before leaping back as Ronnie Anne had jumped out of Hot Rod's alt mode, ran towards the spymaster, then jumped in the air, slashing the rifle with her knife hands. "--Little Bot! Mini-Con? Wait, aren't you that human?"

Counterpunch dropped the now destroyed rifle and dodged a punch from Hot Rod, followed by a flair of flames from his pipe arms, Kup got to shoot three shots, but Counterpunch kept on evading and moving around, every hit thrown or shot fired, the spy dodged effectively and with little effort. "You're going down Counterpunch, but first, what did you do to Punch!" Hot Rod demanded an answer.

"You've got it all wrong Hot Rod, I'm not your enemy today." Counterpunch tried to speak but before he could anymore, a ground bridge opened up with both Berserker and Battletrap exiting it and entering the fight. "You two?"

"Take out the Autobots!" Berserker shouted as a machine gun came from his shoulder and unleashed several rounds of ammunition at the Wreckers who tried to dodge, granted they didn't get completely hit but still had some graze from the attack, but Battletrap swung the flail that hit Kup and sent him flying Hot Rod then unleashed flames that burned into Berserker's face.

Battletrap put a stop to it, swinging his flail down hit Hot Rod, making him fall down before they got closer and stomped onto Hot Rod's back but before they raised their foot for another stomp, Ronnie Anne ran over to Terrorcon, then stabbed into their ankle with the entire energy blade, making them scream and fall over. Battletrap then looked at Ronnie Anne and aimed his weapon at her but it was shot out of his hand with Impactor and the two other Wreckers Whirl and Alpha Bravo showed up to fight.

Counterpunch was mainly watching but he was thinking of a way out of this, he just transformed into his alt mode, honking his horn, even making donuts as he spun around and started to drive off, Ronnie Anne then looked at his alt mode and noticed one of his headlights were damaged, Impactor thought he was mocking them as they drove off. Both Battletrap and Berserker then started to run after them, transforming to follow them with suddenly a ground bridge opening up with Counterpunch, Berserker, and Battletrap leaving the fight before it closes, leaving the Wreckers.

There was nothing but silence as the fighting had ended yet again, Kup looked at the rifle it didn't have a scope, and then Impactor spoke up. "Son of a Glitch!"

The five Wreckers and Ronnie Anne started to the road, there was a lot of damage so they had to wait for new trucks but the Wreckers were hanging around, except for Tanker who was sent back into the trailer that he was tasked to stay inside, and out of view, luckily they did have an emergency broadcast on the road to avoid civilians, Hot Rod, Impactor, Kup, Alpha Bravo, and Whirl were given a talking to by O'Neal while Ronnie Anne was helping anyone injured, luckily no one was too hurt, some bruises from being knocked back from explosions that were too far and slight hearing damage but they would be fine.

"So that's what we know so far," Agent O'Neal informed the Wreckers, all of them facing him in their respective Alt modes in case anyone drove down the road, they did have some of them covered to avoid suspension of a tank and other military vehicles. "Mayhem and the Terrorcons are working with humans, we suspect that they might have Dr. Arkeville and lead by a man who goes by Silas."

"Are you sure that is right?" Impactor asked.

"I suspect that much, with the tech and the men calling me by the alias I went under while infiltrating his ranks some time ago," O'Neal explained to them looking at the two men who were handcuffed and knocked out, they managed to capture only two out of the dozens of assailants that attacked them. "They call themselves M.E.C.H."

"Mech?" Ironfist sounded confused.

"Yeah, the Mechanical Enhancement Cybernetic Hunters, they were under the radar until a few weeks ago, they look for and steal highly advanced machines, cybernetics, the next big tech that everyone wants, advanced processors, nuclear devices, lasers, hover cars, etc. If it is powerful, new, or advanced they will try and take it."

"So, they attacked us for alien tech? They said their mission was complete, but it looks like they didn't take anything from the looks of it." Ruin pointed out.

"Director O'Neal!" A soldier announced as they moved towards them, much to O'Neal's chagrin. "Sir, each of the trailers were broken into, they might have taken something from each of the trailers."

"What?!" O'Neal was surprised but it all made sense now, he pointed to the soldier. "Do an inventory on everything we had, see what they took." The soldier saluted before they ran back to the trucks. "This isn't great..." He then felt a vibration, pulled out his phone, and saw a message on his phone. "There are three cars up the road, they just appeared and ran a family off the road and are heading this way."

"How far?" Impactor asked.

"Eight miles and incoming, Hot Rod, Kup, Ironfist!" O'Neal didn't need to speak much more with the three revving their engines, Impactor allowing them to go with the three speeding off. Agent O'Neal then looked around; he didn't see Ronnie Anne wasn't there meaning that she was with them. "Sigh... These kids are too much sometimes."

Just up the road, Hot Rod, Ronnie Anne, and both Wreckers were driving as fast as they could with the Autobot taking the lead. They saw no humans so that was good for them before seeing something, it was three cars, one being a blue Honda NSX with one of the headlights broken, and a large black armored truck and orange tow truck, Berserker and Battletrap, the blue one had to be Counterpunch, but they were attacking the blue vehicle with missiles or a turret that came from the hood of the armored car. The three were confused before one missile hit the back of the blue car, making them swerve and ends up slipping off the road, falling into a ditch.

The Blue Honda NSX was stuck in place, so they transformed, they changed shape with the hood of the car becoming shoulder pads, they had blue legs and arms but their chest was yellow, they had a sliver face mask with the side of the mask being yellow and they had a blue visor over their eyes, the Autobot symbol on their chest. This wasn't Counterpunch.

The Autobot pulled out a yellow pistol, aiming it at the two cars but the armored vehicle had a turret pulled out from the roof and fired a shot that knocked the weapon out of their hand. The tow truck transformed into Battletrap who threw his wrecking ball, the Autobot was hit in the chest but they grabbed the weapon and tried to pull, only to not even move the Terrorcon by any amount, they then pulled their chain that pulled the Autobot to them and slammed them to the ground before kicking them. Hot Rod drove into the gangster, changing back into his robot mode, jumping into the air and slamming a foot into Battletrap's face, making them stumble backwards before blasting them with flames.

The armored car turned into Berserker who used his shield to block the oncoming flames then charging forward thinking he could bash into the Autobot, the results? Hot Rod just leaped over the shield and fires from the back with on hands and blasting Battletrap with the other, but before he landed, the orange Terrorcon swang his weapon again, hitting Hot Rod's legs, making them fall onto their back, Berserker turned around and stomp onto Hot Rod's chest to keep them in place. They then raised their arm with their weapon up into the air to swing it down with full force only for the chain to be shot clean off, the source of the shot coming from Kup.

Hot Rod's chest compartment opened up with Ronnie Anne popping out to stab Berserker in the leg, cutting deep into it. "Sorry Hot Rod, I kind of heaved on your floor mats..." She said nervously at Hot Rod who didn't seem to mind at all. Ironfist then placed down his torrent and pulled out twin looking guns, aiming the weapons and firing several shots onto Berserker's back.

The two Terrorcons looked around, they were outnumbered and out matched by the Wreckers, looking around, they just transformed and drove away at high speeds, firing their weapons from behind in case the Wreckers would follow them. They all took cover to avoid being hit, Hot Rod was thinking about giving chase, but they stopped, it would have been too late, besides there was another matter. The new Autobot that just showed up out of nowhere, this Autobot that Hot Rod knew, a friend of his. "Punch, is that really you?"

"Hey Hot Rod." The Autobot called Punch walked up, greeting his old friend. "Long time no see, huh?"

Punch

-Autobot

-Blue Honda NSX

-Master spy, will get you what you need

Hot Rod walked over to Punch, holding a handout, both of them grabbed hands in the form of handshake before pulling into a hug as the two friends reunited. "Long to no see is right! Where have you been?" Hot Rod asked.

Punch and Hot Rod let go of each other as they talked some more, Ronnie Anne looked over at the new face, this was the Spymaster she heard about, Punch. Kup noticed something about Punch, on his back, there was a rifle with a scope. "I have been undercover, hiding inside Decepticon bases, gathering information-- Who is that?" Punch then noticed Ronnie Anne as she had her helmet removed to see them more.

"Oh, right, Punch this is Ronnie Anne, our human civilian ally." Hot Rod explained as he showed off Ronnie Anne with pride. "She is my partner. And she told me you saved her."

Punch looked left then right, like he was checking to see if he was being pranked or something. "You're serious? Do we have more human allies?" Punch looked confused.

"I know right, Bumblebee was M.I.A. for a while after... we lost Springer..." Hot Rod collected himself for a moment before he continued to speak. "Um, we met a few humans and kept meeting more, we're getting closer to getting to know the people of Earth."

Punch nodded his head before taking a knee to meet Ronnie Anne. "Hey, um, sorry I didn't remember that I saved, I guess you do look... different?" Punch said as to avoid an awkward conversation or something, "Right about what my mission update--it was slow but a while ago I got caught, but it wasn't by Decepticons, there is a new threat among us." Punch explained to Hot Rod.

"The Terrorcons? Yeah, Jazz, Arcee, Wheeljack, and the Dinobots encountered them a few weeks ago." Hot Rod explained, he thought of explaining what the Dinobots were but maybe keep on track. "So, they caught you?"

"Yeah, I found something some time ago, it was some sort of ship that belonged to someone, it was Shockwave!" Punch said trying to get the point across, seeing Shockwave as a serious threat, but none of them looked concerned or shocked, they knew after all. "You all knew? Oh, alright, anyway, it was one of Shockwave's ships along with his experiments and equipment a few years ago as ordered by Optimus..."

Location: Shockwave's sunken ship, long time ago

As Punch was telling his story, he was seen walking into a dark hallway with a light source attached to his pistol looking for anything. "After finding this ship, it was sunk underground but I wasn't alone." Punch then looked into a room before being grabbed and thrown to the ground, the assailant was Counterpunch. "Counterpunch was there, I'll say I totally had them... Yeah, I did."

Punch then aimed his gun at the Decepticon who dodged a shot head to them, they dashed towards them, kicking the gun out of there hand followed by a punch to Punch's face kind of Ironic, Punch then threw his fist the best he could only for Counterpunch to counter, block, of dodge every hit that was thrown at them just to get an uppercut, left then right punch, followed by a slap, and finished it with a stomping kick into a large vat. "It was a one-sided fight."

"You were losing, weren't you?" Hot Rod asked.

"NO! Anyway, during the fight I gave them the slip," As Punch continued, Counterpunch had grabbed the Autobot by their neck, slamming them into the vat that started to crack before it burst opened with the contains covering them both, the floor becoming more unstable, they then started to slip off the ground with the Decepticon dropping the Autobot who transformed to crash into them, slamming Counterpunch into a table, transforming back followed by throwing punches into their face with a single device in the shape of a sphere rolled off the table, crashing on the ground, breaking it but something happened, the sphere was releasing sparks then a bolt of energy that covered the two. "Something in that lab was affecting us, we almost didn't know at first, but I took a punch to the face."

Punch was then punched in face, but as they fell to the ground, so did Counterpunch, the Autobot was confused before seeing his gun then reached out for it, grabbing it and firing into Counterpunch's left arm, then Punch's right arm had a similar damage done to him. "After that, I managed to get a rare shot on them, but I also took damaged, a mirrored location too," Punch explained before Counterpunch got back up and being tackled back on the ground, he then raised both hands clenching them together followed by slamming them down into Punch's chest.

Counterpunch then clenched his chest before falling over in pain, looking they saw his chest had a slight dent, just like Punch's damage. "We think the device somehow connected us, mirroring our pain, like if I got my right arm broken then his left arm took the damage." The two looked at each other for a moment before Counterpunch saw the gun and picked it up in their right hand, but as he aimed it at Punch, his index finger on his right hand was bent backwards, they then saw Punch break his left index finger. The two were then shocked by electricity, stunning them followed by them falling to the ground. "We weren't alone however, turns out someone was alright there before us, using it as a base..."

In Punch's story someone stood over them before picking them both up. Punch was then inside of what looked to be a cell, there was practically nothing. "They locked me up, keeping me prisoner for some time..." As he told his story he looked over his cell, as he did, he got either cuts or dents almost at random. "...They might have been using Counterpunch as some sort of spy that helped them..." He later found a way out, looking around the cell before starting to pick and scrap on one spot of the cell, making a hole. "Over time I got out, but I had no idea where to go after that, Optimus told me to lay low while I checked out just who these Terrorcons really were."

Location: Wrecker HQ

Inside the Wreckers base, everyone surrounded Punch told his story, beside them was a large table for them to use to hold certain items of their size, such as all his weapons with Kup looking over them as he was listening to Punch's story. Everyone seemed to be taking everything in, hearing out what Punch had said to them all, it would have taken in everything they had been through, the Wreckers have heard, seen, or even been through worse but still a lot for the spy. "So, that's about it. Sorry, I've been M.I.A. all this time." Punch said to the Autobots, then seeing Ronnie Anne he pointed out something. "I also see I've missed a lot."

"It is fine Punch and yeah, Bumblebee was also missing before we found him, he wasn't alone though, human civilians." Hot Rod explained. "Like Ronnie Anne, she's my partner as I have to protect her. You should know her."

"I... should?" Punch looked confused.

"Yeah, you saved her, she identified you as the one who got her to safety in the bunker."

Ronnie Anne walked over, knocking on Punch's leg with him looking down, she gave him a thumbs up. "Thanks for the help amigo."

Punch scratched the back of his head with a nervous chuckle. "Right, sorry I've been having a lot of stress lately, sorry." He then shook his head before taking a serious stance. "But we need to find what they took! I managed to hijack their messages before escaping, they were looking for something known as a data key."

"Data key?" Ronnie Anne asked, confused. "What's that?"

Ironfist then knelt down to speak to her and explain. "Data keys are an important mechanism for types of ships used for scanning worlds for resources both as a key to activate and collect the data." Ironfist then stood up to face Punch. "Was the data key what they stole and what would be on it?"

Punch nodded his head. "Yes, from what I can piece together it holds data on the planet such as the location of Decepticon weapon and Energon cashes from when Shockwave came to Earth, it turns out some of his forces left powerful weapons scattered around the world and the data could have the locations."

The Wreckers looked at each other, this information wasn't good for anyone, if what Punch was telling them was right then this could mean their enemies could grow stronger and would beat them almost easily. Impactor walked about, being a former Decepticon he knew a thing or two about Decepticon tactics, protocols, and weapons and they never shied away from anything powerful which meant they could be dealing with things that could deliver a serious blow to them. "We need to find this data key, which will be the top priority."

"How could we find them?" Ruin asked everyone agreeing, they had no way of tracking them down, then Rack added. "They could be anywhere out in the world."

"They have a good point; this world is so big and they could be anywhere from within this state to the opposite side of the planet." Broadside pointed out.

"They're in Scotland." Agent O'Neal spoke up, everyone turned to him. Some of them looked confused at them. "We tracked them in Scotland."

"Scott has an amusement park?" Ironfist turned to one of the few humans one human named Scott just shook his head.

"No, Scotland is a country in the United Kingdom." Ronnie Anne explained to the Wreckers that they really need to get out more. "But how do you know that?"

"You remember those mechs they were using? We found some bizarre bacteria and algae all over, it seems they were kept close to the water, this alga is known as sea loch egg wrack bed which can only be found in Scotland." Agent O'Neal explained before pressing a button on a remote with a monitor showing a map of Scotland, zooming into the western coast. "Scotland is known for Oil Rig graveyards but there are some people don't know about, mainly for military purposes but they were shut down years back. No doubt they are using one of the oil rigs as a base and we believe it is this one." On the map a lone red dot shone in the ocean far from the coast.

"Why do you think that one?" Whirl asked.

"It is an abandoned oil rig, but it is still using power." O'Neal explained before pulling out the phone. "We have a team on standby, Broadside, we'll use your boat alt mode, the location is sturdy so it can take storms like crazy but for our safety Roadbuster and Impactor I want you both benched."

Roadbuster stepped forward, he wanted to give a piece of his mind, but Impactor stopped them. "Reason?" Impactor asked.

"The structure is old, and you're both a little too powerful. There is a chance that you'll destroy the entire place, sorry."

"We understand," Impactor responded with Kup walking over to them and whispering in their ear about something, his eyes narrowed with them looking to Punch, then to Kup nodding. "Me and Roadbuster will stay put, we need to take care of something. I might also suggest benching Alpha Bravo for this mission."

Alpha Bravo then turned his head to look at Impactor, he didn't look so happy about this suggestion. "No can do, we'll need as much air support, he is also a careful shot we can rely on, we'll move out soon so pack your kilts Wreckers." With that he started to walk away.

Ironfist then leaned close to Hot Rod to ask an important question. "What's a kilt?"

As O'Neal was walking away, he read a file on the suspected location on a tablet that showed an image of a large oil rig, or just a rig since information detailed how it wasn't naturally used for collecting and storing oil but rather objects. "Hey, O'Neal!" He turned around to see Ronnie Anne running towards him, he wasn't going to like what she was about to say, he had a gut feeling. "Listen, I know this seems reckless but--"

"Let me guess, you want to tag along even though it is getting late?"

Ronnie Anne nodded her head; his suspicions were current. "Yes, I told my parents over the phone that I was spending time at a friends, they also say buy that, I can help and--"

"Alright, you can go."

"Wait, just listen to-- Wait what?" Ronnie Anne was surprised that he agreed that quickly, usually they argued about them going along in case they got hurt or something? "You're okay with this?" She asked with O'Neal nodding. "Okay, I have to ask, is there a catch?"

"No catch, only that you follow orders, it is actually illegal to allow normal minors into military ops like this, but you're not a usual or normal kid are you? I mean you're armed in a fully auto mechanical suit with an A.I. supposedly more advanced than a supercomputer." He noticed her looking nearly dumbfounded, she was questioning if he was being serious. "Wouldn't matter anyway, you'd just sneak aboard the mission. So go get ready, we're leaving in an hour."

Agent O'Neal then started to walk away, to get ready for this mission. Ronnie Anne turned around before jumping in triumphant victory. "Yeah!"

"Ronnie Anne, I can see you're excited about this?"

"Yeah, I get to help out for once, I always wanted to actually help the Autobots."

"That's great but I wish to apologize with information for you." Minerva explained confusing Ronnie Anne, she then instructed her to lift her arm to look at her wrist, a hologram popping up showing an image Punch. "When you touched Punch I did a simple sonic scan on his body and there are a few things I didn't expect," The image of Punch then zoomed in on his head showing a sphere, the Cybertronian anatomy of the brain. "It seems there is something odd about his brain."
