"What do you say we go out and see our guardians?"

"Not a good idea," Miko glared at Raf, who had suggested.

"Aw, come on."

"If the Autobots in this dimension are good, then the 'cons we know are not...good," Jack said, looking up at Raf. Raf sighed.

"You know you're curious to see what they look like and how they act."

"I admit, I am," Miko replied.

"Then what's stopping you?" Raf said, jumping up off the couch and running off while Ratchet was distracted.

"Raf!" Miko whispered loudly, getting up and following him out, and Jack following her. They made it to the bridge, and Raf outran Miko. Surprisingly Ratchet hadn't noticed until he had closed the bridge and turned to look over at the human area to say something.

"...Oh, Primus," he cursed, and turned back to his monitor to attempt to contact the others.

***

The kids ended up in an energon mine, where they hid behind a rock as the Autobots continued to walk forward.

"Optimus, do you read?" Ratchet said, and Optimus gently pressed a digit to the side of his helm to reply.

"Affirmative."

"I believe the children have escaped the base and are with you."

"Really, Ratchet?" Arcee asked, butting into the conversation. "With Miko running out all the time one would think you'd pay a little more attention when the bridge is up."

"I let my guard down," Ratchet admitted. "Just keep an optic out for them. The 'cons are unaware that Jack, Miko, and Raf are replaced with their...dimensional counterparts, and the children might have decided to see their guardians, whether they be passive, or...hostile."

"Understood, Ratchet," Optimus replied. "We will alert you if we find them."

"I guess this means I'm back on babysitting duty," Arcee grumbled. "I'll go see if I can find them."

She walked off, leaving the others. Bee was back; Ratchet decided he would be able to fight as long as it didn't become strenuous, and as long as he didn't take any more hits for anyone.

They moved forward as Arcee stayed behind, searching for them. As her back was turned, they ran, hoping she wouldn't spot them, and headed the way the others had gone.

Once they caught up, they were shocked to see the Decepticon drones fighting the Autobots.

"The Autobots are the ones that are supposed to have these, aren't they?" Miko asked.

"Well, obviously not: we haven't seen them before until now. Besides, they're purple, not green," Jack replied, pushing up his glasses.

"Hey, look, it's Starscream," Raf pointed to the familiar seeker. It was unnerving, to say the least, to see that his optics were red and he sported darker shades of blue, red, and white

Especially the white.

"Back for more, are you?" the seeker grinned, looking over at Bulkhead, who narrowed his optics.

"You wish," he replied, bringing out his mace. If it scared Starscream, he didn't show it.

Yet.

They watched as the two fought, and as Optimus covered Bumblebee from getting too many 'cons after his tailpipe as he worked on the ones going after him already. The kids watched in awe, mainly at Starscream, who, this time, was failing at fighting the wrecker. Bulkhead had prepared himself for Starscream's attacks this time.

Bulkhead punched the seeker across the face with his mace, sending the seeker flying back, and Miko suddenly remembered Bulkhead with a red paint job and Starscream in his red blue and white.

"Starscream!" Miko cried out, before Raf quickly clapped his hand over her mouth. He wasn't fast enough, and she had gained the attention of the two, Starscream looking over at them once he landed.

"What-?" he asked, the Autobots' vermin didn't look as familiar as he remembered. No matter.

"Miko! Jack! Raf! What are you doing!" Bulkhead shouted more than he asked. Miko hesitated, and Starscream stepped forward, his red optics burning into each of their souls.

"Great going, Meeks." Raf rolled his eyes. Miko for once didn't glare at him for the nickname he used on the occasion.

"Guys run!" Bulkhead cried as he tackled Starscream, who raised an arm to launch a missle. Raf grabbed Miko's arm and ran, dragging her along. She finally came back to reality and wrenched out of Raf's grip, looking over to see Jack trying to keep up.

They continued to run, before nearly smacking into a ped, which when they looked up, they saw Arcee, who had her arms crossed over her chassis and a scowl on her faceplate as her optics narrowed as she looked down at them.

"Oh...hi..." Raf grinned nervously.

"You're going through the bridge. No-"

"Arceelookout!" Jack cried out suddenly, quickly enough that the two-wheeler didn't register his warning until it was too late, and cried out sharply as she was electrocuted, revealing a cherry red 'con with a devious smirk on his faceplate. It was gone when he noticed the kids.

"What-oh, never mind," he hissed as he bent over and picked up the kids in one fell swoop by the back of their shirts.

"H-hey! Let me go!" Raf cried.

"Knockout!" Jack cried out in fear. He was afraid. His guardian was capturing them.

"Lord Megatron will be most curious with this...event," Knockout muttered, lacking a better word as he twirled his energon staff in his free servo. He ducked back into the shadows to call for a bridge.

***

Jack couldn't believe it.

Not only were they captured after leaving the Decepticon base, Miko had talked him into going.

"Come on, you're interested in seeing how they look, right?"

Jack was curious, but he hadn't realized he had sealed their fate when he had nodded. They had gone out to try and grab a peek of what the evil Autobots would have looked like, but things had gone awry once they had been spotted by Bumblebee, which shook Raf to the core.

He was black and yellow, and his mouth had three jagged lines under the mask. His optics were crimson red.

This was not good.

Jack had known that if the Decepticons were good, the Autobots wouldn't be. But he supposed he didn't fully register that fact until Bumblebee grabbed them in his servo (not all that gently either), and called for a bridge. Raf tried to hide from the 'bot as much as possible, and he had been silent since they saw him.

Currently, they were strapped to three human-sized berths, all lined up right next to each other, and they were alone.

"Y'know, I bet you Bulkhead looks awesome."

"By the AllSpark Miko, is that what's really on your mind right now?" Jack cried out, exasperated. Raf whimpered from in between them.

"I mean, the whole evil thing doesn't really work out for him-"

"Miko!" Jack hissed.

"What?"

"Shut up!"

Miko looked over at Jack in slight surprise, he never usually got that angry enough to tell her to actually shut up. But she obeyed, biting her lip.

In all truthfulness, she was deathly afraid. This hadn't been a good idea from the start.

Oh if only I hadn't run out to that mine...

The three waited in tense anticipation, Raf shivering partly because the metal berths were cold, and partly because Bee had terrified him immensely.

Who knew what would happen next?

Their thought was answered shortly, as the doors to the room hissed open, revealing a dark and menacing figure. Two bright orange-yellow optics shone, and soon the figure stepped out of the shadows.

The kids' blood turned to ice as they looked up at their visitor.

DUN DUN DUUNNN!!!!

Yes I know cliffhanger

MWAHAHAHA

You guys get to wait a whole (near) three months for me to post the next one I guess, haha

Okay I'm sorry I know that was a really long wait for an update.

But!

If you enjoy my writing, I'd suggest you look at Rules of War, it's a book I'm writing on the side when I don't feel like writing this.

So, yeah.

Oh btw I know TFP Jack may have been a tad out of character in once scene but you know what he's been taken by the evil counterparts of the team that's supposed to be saving Earth instead of destroying it and he's shown that he does not handle stress well so you know what I'd be tense too. :p

Anyway, this is going to be a relatively long Author's Note, because I'm going to show you guys how I view the Autobots and Decepticons as Evil and Good guys.

I'm doing this because a lot of people have different ideas on how the SG 'bots and 'cons look, and descriptions may not be enough.

So, here we go!
