Criminal; Apprehended
Autobot Outpost Omega–One, Nevada
The Autobots and the humans were all surprised to meet both a Wrecker and to discover Trochia back and knocked out somehow, “So you’re a Wrecker? Like Bulkhead, Wheeljack and Springer?” Miko had asked the giant, “Yeah, me and Springer had rescued Impactor and some others in Garrus–9, that human, Verity Carlo, was there too.” he had told her.
“It is good to meet another of our numbers here on Earth.” Optimus had said to him, noticing the vehicle mode he had was definitely military, “However, if you would prefer to remain on Earth, a more native vehicle would have to be selected.” Optimus had told the Autobot, “Oh, don’t worry, I’m only here for a short bit, then it’s back to the stars with Impactor.” he told them.
Hearing that, the others looked confused, “I thought that Impactor had fallen before The Exodus?” Ratchet had asked, “It was a lie.” Guzzle had told them, “He had been posed as a Decepticon and was sent to Garrus–9, thankfully we were able to rescue him and we partnered up ever since.” he had told them, hearing that, they were glad to hear that, “Who’s Impactor?” Jack had asked.
“The leader of The Wreckers before Springer, a hard bot that cared for his comrades and was ready to do anything for his fellow bots.” Arcee had told the humans there, “That’s awesome–!” Jack had started, when there was a noise, his phone, reacting to that, he had checked the message, “Sorry, but I gotta go.” Jack had told them, “Yeah, us too.” Raf had said and so the humans and their partners had left.
The two bots and the three humans had all gotten ready to leave, as they had done as much, Guzzle had seen that Bulkhead was on Spark Support, “You mind if I sit here?” he had asked, hearing that, Ratchet had nodded and The Wrecker had sat there, wanting to be there for Bulkhead, especially if it mean that he would have less chances of being caught by the foursome.

The two kids were both on their phones, but Raf noticed that Miko seemed worried, “They're not gonna replace Bulkhead, besides, Guzzle’s only here for a bit before he leaves.” Raf had said to her as a car had started to follow them, none but Bumblebee noticing, “Besides, you know he’s gonna get through it.” Raf had said as they had went and stopped, only for the car behind them to speed up.
He had went and rammed into the rear end of Bumblebee, making him spin as the two of them had spun, “What the heck was that?!” Miko had asked as they turned to the vehicle which was when they saw a Deceptibrand hood ornament, “Decepticon!” Rafael had said in panic as Bumblebee had went and sped up to get some distance while Raf had called Jack, the Decepticon following them.
“Raf? What’s–?” “A Decepticon is chasing after us right now, can Arcee back us up?” he had asked as Bumblebee had went off roading, the scout had given them a beep before opening his doors, the kids jumping out as the car continued to chase Bumblebee until they were out of sight of others, once they had done as much, Bumblebee transformed to be met with the leaping form of Hatchet.
______________________________________________________________________
“We’re on our way–!” Jack had started when a car had stopped in front of them, “Not so fast, Arcee.” the car had said, hearing that, they had reacted, “Jack, off.” Arcee had said and Jack was more than happy to listen, “Smart femme, now let’s–” the bot had started to say when she had went and leapt off of his hood, driving away fast and creating a avatar as she did so, “Uh, Raf, it looks like we’re a little busy.” he said.
“Oh, no doubt about it.” A voice had said, making the human turn to see that there was a police officer there, “You want me to file the report on that?” The cop asked, State Police if his uniform was right, “N– No thanks.” he said, “But can I get a lift him?” Jack had asked, The cop had smiled at that, “Come on, you wanna sit in the back, look like a cool kid?” He had asked Jack.
“Just the lift, Officer…?” “Cade, Barry Cade.” The Cop had told Jack, opening the door for him which he had nodded towards the officer as Officer Cade had went and driven through the street, “Address, kid?” Cade had asked of him, “There.” he had told the officer, as he did, Barry had smiled as he had also been copy his phones data, knowing that he was just was Barricade had been looking for.

Bumblebee was trying to throw off The Dread, he recognized them from the war in Cybertron, him and his other two partners were worse than Team X and unlike The Wreckers, they didn’t have any casualties, it was ridiculous, Hatchet was snarling and tearing them in when Bumblebee had went and kicked the Beast–Type off before going and shooting at the bot there.
Hatchet was back on his pedes and snarling towards him, “Just give us the bot and we’ll be on our way.” Hatchet had told him, starting to circle Bumblebee, The SCout had beeped away, telling him that was impossible, when there was a noise, one that had made The Beast–Type turn to see that a Motorcycle was coming his way, followed by Crowbar, The bot had proceeded to transform, his lacerators ready.
He had fired a few shots as Arcee transformed, leaping to slash at Hatchet who tanked it, snarling asher blade got too close to his exhaust so he had bitten down and threw her off of his and into Bumblebee, the two of them approaching now, snarling, “Stop!” Miko shouted, making them turn towards the human, “Well, well, well, humans.” Crowbar said, the tendrils in the back of his helm twitching.
“Tell us what we want to know and we’ll be on our way to give… punishment.” he had said, his insect-like face plate and six optics seeming excited at the idea while Hatchet had kept his optics on the Autobots, “Stay away from them!” Arcee had told them and hearing that, The bots had snarled, ready to fight when there was a sound, The Prime approaching them.
“That should do it.” Crowbar had said with a grin, as The Prime was about to approach, a third vehicle had went and rammed into the side of The Autobot, “Optimus!” Raf he shouted as the two vehicles transformed, clashing with each other as Crankcase had pulled out his four barreled shotgun, ready to shoot when the Prime had went and helmbutted him, making the Decepticon back away.
The three of them glared, “Comply… now.” Crankcase had said, the three of them starting to circle around each the Autobots, their weapons ready to fire, “Why are you here?” Optimus had asked of The Dreads, “We are on a hunt, like always.” Hatchet had said, making them glare even more so when the trine had quirked their helms, as if they were hearing something, “Understood, we’re on it.” Crowbar said.
“Sorry, but looks like we’ve got a new lead.” Hatchet had told them as the Decepticons had went and ran away from them, transforming and driving away as fast as possible, confusing them as two small insect sized devices hit both the humans, feeling like mosquito stings more than anything as they had driven away, the bots all curious on what was happening.

Thundercracker’s Home, St. Matthews Island
Marissa and the repair team were working on Thundercracker, he had been beaten and torn apart by someone and it was concerning for them, almost as much as Sovereign as the director had glared, “Who did this to you?” she had asked of Thundercracker, he had tried to speak, but his voice box was too damaged, “Write it down.” She told him, holding onto an upset Buster.
“We know who it was.” A man said, making them turn to reveal a Nevada State Trooper, making the officers all turn with their weapons all ready, “Who are you?” Marissa had asked as bot had went and bowed, “Barricade of Kaon, at your service.” he had told the human, making Thundercracker start to back away as they saw it was two bots that looked quite demonic in appearance.
“Relax, we’re not here for you, you’re still labeled KIA and from the looks of it, a NAIL.” Hatchet had told them, “What do you want?” Marissa had questioned of the bots, “We’re here on a hunt.” he had said and hearing that, Thundercracker got curious as the bots had opened up a wanted poster from The Galactic Council, seeing it, Thundercracker nodded, “So it was him.” Barricade had said.
Hearing that, the bots had all glared, “What is going–?” Marissa started to ask as Barricade had translated for her and showed his identification to the human, seeing that, The EDC had realized how bad this could be, “Let me make a call.” she had told them, going to do as much for the Decepticons that were there and hoping that the bot wouldn’t have the chance to complete his plan.

Autobot Outpost Omega–One, Nevada
Guzzle was curious and looking around at everything that was there, it was weird that this place was so… calm, they weren’t hunting down the Decpeticons, they weren’t taking the fight to them, it was ridiculous, “Hey, Ratchet? I’m curious, why aren’t you tearing apart The Decepticons?” Guzzle had asked the medic as he had continued to work on both Trochia and Bulkhead, “Because Megatron and his–” he started.
That was when the comms had went off, “Ratchet, we have three cons, all loaded up in heavy weaponry and not friendly at all.” Arcee said, “The Dreads.” Ratchet had said, tense and in caution, “Who?” Ratchet had asked him, “A DSS kill squad, vicious, they’ve left behind a trail of destruction.” Guzzle had told him, “WHy would such vicious Decpeticons be here then?” Ratchet asked.
“Don’t know, The four of them are–” “Wait, four?” Arcee had asked, “Yeah, their boss, the worst of them, last time I faced off against The Dreads, I had a device in my ship to deal with them.” He had said to them, knowing he had to speed up his timetable now, “Then hurry! We are going to need it if they are as dangerous as you make them out to be.” Ratchet said, “Got it Ratch.” He said, walking away.
As he had done so, there was a groan from Trochia, Guzzle already gone as Ratchet went, “Easy, your processor was rattled during the bombardment.” he had told her, hearing that, Trochia groaned, “What happened?” she had asked, “Sovereign had vanished through the Space Bridge, it was thanks to Guzzle that–” “Wait, Guzzle?” Trochia had asked and hearing that, Ratchet looked confused, “Yes, are you–?”
“Where is he?” she had asked, getting up and feeling dizzy as she did so, “Easy,” Ratchet told her, “You had just gotten up.” he had told her, “I need to find that afthole! There’s an enforcer coming.” she had said, moving as controlled as possible when there was a clarion, “What–?” “The defenses! The base is in lockdown.” Ratchet said, “Someone must had turned it on.” he said.
“Frag.” Trochia said when there was blasterfire, “Behind me!” she had shouted, making a shield of herself, getting hit over and over as her face mask had lowered, “We REALLY need some backup!” The Darkmount native had shouted out in irritation wondering where the Enforcer was right now as they had seen that Guzzle was there and looking pretty pissed at how early she was awake.

The Autobots were confused in the fact that they didn’t have a Bridge opened, “Lockdown was most likely engaged.” Optimus said before they started to realize what might have happened, “The fourth Dread, he most likely–” Optimus started before there was a honk, making them turn to see two of the three vehicles that were there, “By the Authority given to us by The Enforcer of The Tyrest Accord,” Crowbar said.
“You will cease and comply with our search for the criminal.” Crankcase had continued before showing the data in question, Guzzle, seeing that, the Autobots stopped, “Wait, but you’re The Dreads.” Arcee had said, confused, “Yeah, but we also work for Barricade to keep the wanton destruction to a minimum.” He had said, “That way we can have our fun without issues.”
That sounded more like The Dreads that many had heard of when there was a noise, the sound of a comm, “Hey there, Optimus,” Barricade said, “Great to be working with you guys, but we need to deal with Guzzle.” The Enforcer had said, surprising the bots at that statement as the humans that were there were all curious, “Why’re you going after him?” Miko asked, angry they’d go after a Wrecker.
“Pneumatix of Yuss, AKA Guzzle,” Barricade had told the human, “Wanted for violating multiple sections of The Tyrest Accord including the planetary extermination of several planets.” He had said, showing footage of the annihilations and seeing those, they had gotten more and more shocked at the sight that was before, “He was disavowed by Impactor himself.” The bot told them.
“Impactor did that?” Arcee had asked, making the humans look towards them in confusion, “We started on his trail after he had destroyed a Decepticon medical fleet with civilians on it.” Barricade said, “Decepticons take care of civilians?” Miko asked, “How else do you recruit the damaged?” Crowbar had asked her, “Anyway, we would appreciate it if you’d assist in our search.”
Hearing that, The Autobots had looked towards each other when there was a realization, “He put the base on lockdown.” Optimus had said, “Ratchet.” “Bulkhead and Trochia!” Miko had said to them, “Great so–” “We will enter the base through a sub level and retrieve Guzzle for you.” he had said to them, “You have Twenty Fours hours, and then we will be going in.” Crankcase said threatened.
The Autobots and humans there had all gotten spooked but had nodded towards the two bots as they had went and gotten ready to do as much, heading off to do as much with Arcee going to pick up Jack as Raf had spoken up, “What’s a Tyrest Accord Enforcer?” Raf had asked, “They are those that make sure that the rules agreed upon by both sides are upheld, neutral when on assignment.” Optimus had said.
“There are two, one for The Autobots and one for The Decepticons who can deputize others to assist them.” Optimus had told them, making the humans look back to the pair, “But wait, I thought The Autobots were The Good guys?” Miko asked, shocked to hear that a Wrecker was able to do as much, “There are many that have joined both sides, and many have different reasons for joining.”
Hearing that, the bots had all looked towards each other before they had headed towards one of the tunnels that had headed downwards towards one of the military tunnels that were there as they had gotten ready to deal with the Ex–Wrecker, unaware that The Dreads were watching them and were getting ready to take them all out if they needed to do as much.

Autobot Outpost Omega–One, Nevada
The two bots were reacting, Ratchet having taken the pistol that Trochia kept holstered while she had acted as a barricade to block the attacks, attacks, “Seriously?!” Trochia had asked, getting hit by another one of the shells that had rattled her processor, “Those things hurt like scrap!” she had shouted out, “Well… I need y’all busy while I deal with anyone with a Decepti–brand here!” he had told them.
“Kinda hope I get Megatron!” he had shouted out and hear that, the bots grew curious, “How can he possibly do that?” Ratchet had asked, “All I know is that it involves Ironfist and Killmaster.” Trochia said, “Ow!” she went when another had hit the back of her left knee, “Frag Mech!” she had said as Guzzle had went and recorded the needed data, “A Titan? Perfect!” he had shouted.
“Why does that matt–? Fragging! Frag! Frag! Frag!” she had shouted as he got the other, making her fall to the ground, “I’m down! And for the record, I want pain, not projectiles forcing my bodily movements!” Trochia had snarled as Ratchet aimed, “Careful, it’s gotta–” Trochia had started when he had fired and all of a sudden he had been flung into a wall, “Kickback.” she told him with a groan.
“Ha!” Guzzle said, “Reminds me of when I was tiny.” he had told them, cracking his neck as he had stepped over Trochia, making sure to hit her face plate as he had went and torn off of the console a data–slug that he had slipped there, his other blaster still aimed at Ratchet as there was a noise, “Huuuu…” someone said, making Guzzle turn, “Oh, Bulkhead.” Guzzle said as The Wrecker had started to wake.
“Wh–who…?” He had asked, seeing a Wrecker above him, “Hey there big mech–” “Bulkhead!” Miko shouted, running towards the bots, “Wait, I thought Bumblebee took you–?” he had started before turning and aiming his gun at the entrance where the three Autobots were, “Ah, looks like the jigs up.” Guzzle said as he had aimed the weapon at Bulkhead, “Guess I better speed it up.” he said.
The bots were all confused by what he had meant when there was a noise, making them all look as he had activated the bridge, “Have fun! You have about an hour here before everything gets burned to its moon.” he had told them and hearing that, the bots had started to advance as he had went through the bridge and vanished, the bridge closing close behind him, “Bulkhead!” “Ratchet.” Miko and Optimus said.
As they had went to the two, Trochia groaned, “No, I’m good, don’t help me up.” she said, irritated before pulling herself up, “What could he possibly be planning?” Optimus had asked when Raf’s phone rang, Jack’s and Miko’s as well, curious they all saw it was Barry Cade, “Hello? Officer–?” “Guzzle got away, didn’t he?” Barricade had asked of them, “How did you–?” Arcee had started/
“We bugged all of your human’s phones.” The Enforcer had said and hearing that, they had realized that the malware needed to be removed, “Yes, and–” “He’s gonna speed up his plan, isn’t he?” Barricade had asked, “And how will he commit this… operation?” Ratchet had asked of the Enforcer, “Well, if the information that Impactor gave us is true, then he’ll be heading to the highest point.”
“That would be Mount Everest.” Raf told him, “Great, he’ll send his warship there and set up The Modified Geobomb.” “Wait, a Geobomb?!” Ratchet said in shock, “What’s a Geobomb?” Jack asked, “A weapon designed by The Galactic Council during the War as a last resort option.” Optimus had told them, “They are known to wipe out entire planets.” he continued.
“Yeah, well these ones were modded to fry anyone with a Decepti–Brand, some sort of AI embedded into the radiation, Ironfist would know more.” Barricade, “Then why don’t we ask him?” Jack had asked, “Because he had a bullet lodged in his processor that killed him after Garrus–9.” He had told them, “Verity Carlo.” Arcee said, “The Wrecker, what does she–?”
“She was on The Garrus–9 mission too, maybe she knows?” The femme had asked, “I’ll see if she does.” Ratchet said, calling her, it took a moment before they saw Drift answering, “Ratchet! Great to see you again!” He told them, his optics happily shining golden with a hint of rose pink, “Drift, we need to speak to Verity.” he told him, ignoring the smile, “All business, huh?” He asked before leaving.
It was only a second before Verity appeared, “Hey! What’s up?” She said with a grin, “Guzzle had come here with a Geobomb with Ironfists designs and he plans to set it off here.” Optimus had told her, making Verity lose her smile, “Frag, Guzzle,” She said before starting up a download, “Here’s the data Ironfist gave me.” She had told them, “Try to stop him, I don’t want to resort to cloning for human survival.”
The Autobots had all nodded at that as Barricade spoke, “Great, you got the data? Meet us at this Everest, I already told your EDC friends.” He had told them before cutting the comms, “Autobots! Let us go and stop one of our own.” The Prime had told them and hearing that, The Autobots had went and started to move out to try and stop him from his plan.

Mount Everest, Himalayas
Guzzle was working on his latest piece, putting in the necessary data, it was a shame that the radiation was toxic to organic life, Verity was cool, but come on, it was Megatron! He’d be crazy not to! As Guzzle got to work on it, he had heard the roaring of a engine, making the mech turn and glare, he had transformed and aimed, “Now’s not a good time, Barricade!” Guzzle shouted as he fired.
The three bots had moved out of the way, avoiding the shell, “Sorry! But we don’t work around YOUR schedule!” Crowbar told him, angry that he was gonna get away again if they were unlucky, which was when they had seen that a grenade was tossed their way, “Scrapper!” Crankcase had shouted, him and Barricade going to the left, Crowbar to the Right while Hatchet had leaped forward.
The bots were snarling and both Crankcase and Crowbar had fired while Barricade and Hatchet had approached, The Enforcer had his mace ready when he had pressed his pedes on a pressure sensor, making a beep, “Frag.” he had said before leaping away, the shrapnel had covered his back, making him snarl in pain as Hatchet had seen an automated defense aiming, “I had some time to prep!” he shouted.
At the same time as The Dreads had went and distracted the Wrecker, The Autobots had entered the vessel, the security was designed for Decepticons, not Autobots, as The trio with Trochia had went and entered, the group there started to search when they had seen that there was towers going down towards them, “I really wish you didn’t do that.” Guzzle said over the comms.
They had started to move with Trochia going to block the shots and feeling some of her joints start to immobilize, “Oh Pit no!” Trochia had shouted, transforming to shoot out like a flying arrowhead, her wings slicing through the turrets before a final shot had stopped her in her tracks, “I’m out!” she had told them, frozen there while the others had pursued, “We will return for you.” Optimus said.
The trio had went and charged in to try and get there when they had seen that Autobot MTO’s had appeared, “Gotta LOVE Spectrosynth Drones!” one said and at that they had charged the Autobots, Team Prime had proceeded to counter and fight against the Spectrosynth, Optimus going and punching one of the hollow copies into three others while Arcee charged, kicking one upwards as she slashed.
Bumblebee charging and firing at them, sliding as he had hit a few before finding himself on the other side, he had buzzed, waving to them, “Move forward!” Optimus shouted, “He cannot be allowed to detonate the bomb!” The Prime shouted out and hearing that, The Scout nodded before he had went and charged forward, heading there and hoping that they weren’t too late.
The Dreads meanwhile had gotten closer and closer as Crankcase had dropped one of his overheating guns, “Give it up!” He had shouted to him, “Please! I’ll be a hero and Y’all be gunmetal!” he had shouted to them, Barricade and Hatchet had leapt forward when there was a shot, taking The Beast–Types lower pedes with a shot while Barricade had went and gotten his servo.
“Graagh!” Guzzle went before he had went and charged Barricade, throwing him to the ground before he had went and started to punch him again and again and again before Crankcase and Crowbar had both nodded, “Pincushion!” The shouted out and hearing that, Barricade had kept one servo out as the two of them had each pulled out their extendable spears and threw to them.
Barricade had gotten hit in the arm and so he had went and backservoed the spike into Guzzle’s jaw while two more had went and hit his chassis and left pedes, “I’m not dying that easily!” The Ex–Wrecker had shouted out as all of a sudden, Bumblebee had come in, leaping upwards to deliver a blow to the back of his helm, making him stubble and tearing his exhaust off of his body.
“I’m fight to win!” Guzzle had shouted to them as Crash Suits started to come in, Guzzle’s defenses acting as they approached and made the group take evasive action as they had avoided the fights when Guzzle had heard a noise, making the bot turn to see that there was a invisible servo disabling the bomb, “What the–?” Guzzle had asked as the stealth tech had turned off to reveal Wheeljack.
“Gotta hand it to Spec Ops, they’ve got great stealth tech.” Wheeljack said, glad to be a part of this three pronged operation, “No,” he said, getting angry at the sight, “No!” he had shouted out raising his pistol, “I won’t let this end that easily! I’m gonna be a hero! I’m gonna end this and before I do, you should all know–” he started when a spear had went through his helm, the last one Crowbar had.
He had started to twitch before he had went and fell down to the side, Barricade getting up in pain, groaning as he pulled out the spear, The EDC operation leader, Spike Witwicky, had went and landed and spoke, “Is he dead?” “Processor dead.” Wheeljack said, kicking him and seeing that he was still alive, “Not for long.” Wheeljack said, going to shoot when Spike and Barricade spoke, “Stand down.” they told him.
“We’re taking him, he tried to fry our planet and I’m not leaving it up to chance.” he had said and hearing that, “Agreed, which is why I was going to recommend you keep him.” Barricade said, confusing the bots, “What?” Wheeljack said for them both, “If we send him to a Garrus, there’s a chance a radical might release him,” he had said, “And any Con Prison will end up with him modded.” Barricade said.
“You fleshies can keep him, but make sure that he doesn’t get out until The GC can get to him.” Barricade had said, offering a file to him, “Make sure your government leader signs that so we can properly lock him up.” The Enforcer had told them and hearing that, the human was surprised that a Decepticon was being so cordial, “We’ll deal with clean up.” he had told them.
As he had went and walked into the facility, as he did, Barricade saw Trochia starting to transform slowly, “Alright, let’s get this over with.” Barricade said to her, making Trochia glare, “Fine, I’ll wipe the files, you keep the vessel.” she had told him as the two of them had went and started to walk, Barricade keeping up with her pace as they had went to go and do a scrub of the place.

The Autobots had watched as The Decepticons had all started to power up their ship, “Thank you for your compliance.” Barricade said as he had motioned for Crowbar to drag out the crate, “Here is a reward for your assistance.” he had said and hearing that, they saw the energon that they had offered, “You’re giving us this?” Arcee had asked, cautious as they had put it out.
“We have more than enough, thank you for helping with The Ex–Wrecker.” he had said and hearing that, they felt a bit off as the Decepticons had went back in, “If any of you break The Accords, we’ll be back.” They said, The Dreads all heading in and getting ready to leave when they realized that Barricade wasn’t leaving, “Barricade?” Hatchet asked, making him vent
“I’ll see you at sanctuary, I just need to go and get reacquainted with someone.” he had said, “Course you are.” Wheeljack said and hearing that, The others got confused at that before Barricade had went and pulled out a pager, “If I see you, it’ll be as a Con.” he had told them, walking away as the others had wondered what he was talking about now as Trochia had shaken her helm.
The Autobots as well as the humans there were curious on what was going on when Spike spoke up, “Who would he be meeting?” The human asked, “Simple, back when Barricade was a Peacekeeper, he was a protege of a Wrecker, only later had we learned that he was in reality a protege of Soundwave.” Optimus had told them, making them curious, “Who was The Wrecker?” Arcee asked.
“That, would have been Screecher, him and Screecher were our spies in there before we realized that he was a triple agent.” Wheeljack had told them and hearing that, the bots were shocked that a traitor such as him and now he was going to be on Earth, it made them curious and wonder what they were going to do as Trochia had gotten some plans of her own in mind now.
______________________________________________________________________
Namibia, Africa
The Peacekeeper had went and started to look around at the location that he was in, still rubbing his servo from the hole when he had seen that Soundwave was stroking an animal that was quite large, “Hello there, Soundwave.” he had said to her, making The CCO stand up, “<Barricade!>Flamewar” She had said to him, approaching with a excited gait.
The bots had both went and embraced their servos before she had went and put him in a hug, surprising him at the reaction, “What the frag is this?” he had asked her “It’s called a hug and only family is allowed to have one.” she had told the Enforcer and hearing that, the bot had nodded at that before going to a tree and sitting down so that he could take a vent from that fight they had.
“We just got a Wrecker who was planning to wipe this planet out.” Barricade said, “Good, I wouldn’t want these beautiful creatures to be wiped out.” She had told them, hearing that, the bot grew curious as he had seen that the Elephants were unafraid of her, almost treating her like family as she had stroked the head of the most scarred, “So, this is one of those things you’ve been so interested in.” he said.
At that, one of the smallest had went and bumped their head into his leg, looking happy at the sight of him, as he did so, Barricade got nervous before going and stroking it like Soundwave was, the action making him get more and more calm as he had realized why these creatures were so interesting to Soundwave, liking the feel, “<And how long will you be here?>Starscream” She had asked him.
“Not to long, I just need to make sure that Guzzle’s vessel is properly dealt with and finish submitting my report to Tyrest and The Galactic Council.” he had told The CCO and hearing that, Soundwave was glad, that would take a while, enough that they would be able to catch up and remember the old days, the good parts at least as the two started to head deeper and deeper in.
