Short but really good. I`ve noticed that your stories follow novel format is there any reason for that format rather than comic script format like mine.

Nope, not really. I just find it easier to do it that way. :thumb

Chapter 4

 

Back at Ocean City, Rad, Alexis, Mischa, Kicker, Sally, Dr. Jones and his wife, along with the Autobots, were at a ceremony recongnizing Carlos. Optimus had just finished his speech, and everyone was giving a moment of silence. Although Kicker understood why this was being done, he thought that Carlos probably wouldn't have wanted them wasting so much time doing this while the Decepticons were on Cybertron doing who knows what.

 

He'd had enough.

 

"ARGGGHHH! Optimus. We need to get to Cybertron NOW. The Decepticons had stasis pods, a mold, and some tools. They're obviously making some new Decepticons, and we need to be there to counter them. We need to get those new Autobots up and running now. Isn't Wheeljack done making the new bodies yet?!"

 

Everyone was silent for a moment, stunned that Kicker was acting like this a ceremony involving the gravity of the situation. Optimus understood where Kicker was going with this. And he agreed, enough was enough as far as this was concerned. He had know Carlos for some time now, and knew that he would agree with Kicker. "Kicker, you're right. As far as the new bodies go, Wheeljack just has to take them around town and scan the vehicles for the alternate modes. I'm sending Bulkhead, Jetfire, to Cybertron to get the five sparks that we need, along with a sample of Super Energon, so I'm sending two of the Aerialbots, Skydive and Slingshot, as well. So that when they get back, everything should be set up. Okay." He turned to Wheeljack. "Wheeljack, I want you to go with Prowl, Ratchet, Roadblock, Ironhide, and Cliffjumper and get those alternate modes scanned and ready for incorporation. Then, I want you to leave them be, and wait for the others to return with the sparks and Super Energon so that we'll have the new team up and running. Grimlock, Swoop, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, and Hound. I want you guys to go with Jetfire and his team for backup and protection. Okay. Hot Shot, Broadcast, Strongarm, Skyblast, Signal Flare. I want you guys to just keep a watch on the global scale, and make sure the Decepticons aren't up to any other tricks. Wing Saber and Omega, come with me. We need to just keep the base running in a calm and orderly fashion. Silverbolt, Air Raid, and Fireflight. I want you to stay up in the skies and just moniter the air space around Ocean City. We can't afford any slip ups. Dr. Jones, I want you to go with Wheeljack and help him finish up. Rad, Alexis, Mischa, Kicker, and Sally. Go with Jetfire's team to help them with the fragile stuff, namely the sparks. Mrs. Jones, I'm sorry, but there's no real job for you to do, unless you want to input some suggestions."

 

Everyone looked at her and waited for something. "Everyone, get busy and get rolling."

 

****************

 

"Kaon. Just as I remember it. Sixshot, start setting up a place to do our mission. Demolishor, Snow Cat, Slugslinger, Sharkticon, you come with me. We'll go and get the sparks of Souondwave and company."

 

"Yes sir." they all replied.

 

Starscream turned to Hook. "Hook. Now get everything ready. We should be back from the vault in about 20 cycles. Okay."

 

"Right boss." Hook said.

 

****************

 

"Demolishor, grab the sparks for Laserbeak and Buzzsaw. Snow Cat, the ones for Rumble and Frenzy, Slugslinger, the one for Ravage, and Sharkticon, I want you to get Soundwave's. I need to go get some spares we have for my personal project. Everybody move."

 

They all went their ways to get what they needed, and they agreed that whenever they got what they needed they would leave. So before Starscream could finsih digging up what he needed to, he heard Demolishor saying that he found Laserbeak's and Buzzsaws sparks and was heading back to base. They had decided against bringing back Menasor. He was too unstable.

 

"Ahh. Just what I was looking for. Some blank sparks. One for Thundercracker, and one for Skywarp. Hopefully, Hook will have everything ready by then."

 

Starscream looked around and relized, he was the last one there. Everyone had left with their goods. Now it was his turn.

 

****************

 

"Okay boys. Let's get this right. We need the following sparks. Kids, you have us here, so we'll point you in the right directi-. Wait, what am I saying, they're all in the same room of this mausoleum. Let's go there together. Okay, let's move out." said Bulkhead.

 

Jetfire just rolled his optics beneath his visor. He couldn't believe that Optimus put that old coot in charge of this mission.

 

****************

 

Back on Earth, Wheeljack had explained to his team what vehicles they needed. A fire truck, a medical helicoptor, an ambulance, a police car, and a police motercycle. They would be the new and improved Protectobots, just to up the ante and give the Autobots, and Superion, some help with the combiner Decepticons.

 

****************

 

"Hey, Slingshot. It's kind of creepy down here alone. Isn't it?" asked Skydive.

 

"Hmm. What. Oh. I guess. I was just thinking about stuff. Like how are we going to get past those Terrorcons."

 

Skydive looked at what his comrade was talking about and he saw. It was a whole group of Terrorcons, made up of Command Ravages, Doom-Locks, some Divebombs, and some Insecticons. He then grinned. "Easily. We'll impliment some tactics that I've read in some books about aerial warfare in Earth's World War II. Let's do it."

 

A few moments later, they were in and battling it out in their vehicle modes. It also helped that their alternate modes were the exact same, save color schemes. The Terrorcons didn't know who to hit, since they looked alike. Slingshot thought that this was a pretty lousy tactic, and it would have been easier to just fly through blasting their way in. But it was all the same to him. It just got them to their goal. They transformed back into robot mode, and behind them was a pile of Terrorcon scrap ready for the scrapyard.

 

They gave each other high fives and went down to get the Super Energon.

 

****************

 

"All right young'ins. We're to wait here for Skydive and Slingshot with the Super Energon before we leave. So we probably have a while before then, so just stay close to here, and don't go to far."

 

****************

 

Meanwhile at Kaon, Starscream had just finished putting the finishing touches on the body of Thundercracker. He now had two brothers, just like his father. And it was only a matter of time before they were active. He just needed Hook to finish up with their sparks. "Hook, how's it coming?" he asked.

 

"Fine. Fine. I also finished integrating Soundwave and company so that they're Energon Chip compatible."

 

"Good. Are they up and runn-" Starscream started before being inturrupted. His inturruption consisted of a growl of a cat, and some squawks of birds. He knew those sounds all to well. They were Ravage, Laserbeak, and Buzzsaw. Then the ground shook. He figured that was Rumble and Frenzy testing out their new bodies. Then he heard the following. "Soundwave and Company ready for service." Then he heard something else. Something that sounded along the lines of "SKREEEE" He turned around, and there was a purple bat like Decepticon on Soundwave's arm. It was Ratbat. Then behind him, he heard some thunder and the sound of a warp. It was his new brothers. Thundercracker and Skywarp.

 

Starscream turned to Hook, who was packing up his toolcase. Starscream looked at everyone, new and old, and said to them, Decepticons, it's time to head back to Earth. We just need a way to let Galvatron know that we're ready to come back so that he can deactivate that blasted Energon grid.

 

End of Chapter 4

I like this chapter the most.

Chapter 5

 

"Hey Bulkhead. It's me Skydive. We've got the Super Energon and we're on our way to the rondevouz point. ETA is approximately 10 minutes."

 

"Righteo Skydive. I'll round up the kids and we'll be ready for departure any moment. See ya then boys." Bulkhead replied.

 

Slingshot had been pretty silent since they left the pool. Skydive wanted to know what was going on with his friend. "Hey, Slingshot. Slingshot. SLINGSHOT!" he finally yelled, at an attempt to grab his attention.

 

"Huh, huh. Oh, sorry Skydive. I've just been thinking about Defensor. How great it'll be to even the combiner playing field with him. Did you want something?" was Slingshot's response.

 

If Skydive had been in robot mode, he would've rolled his optics. "No" he said with exasperation. He now knew what was on his mind.

 

****************

 

Soundwave was looking at his new body. It was fashioned more into that of a disc player than a tape cassette. He thought that it was interesting. He knew that it was just about time to leave. So he said "Rumble, Frenzy. Ravage, Ratbat. Buzsaw, Laserbeak. Storage time. Operation: Reformatting almost complete. I'm ready Starscream."

 

"Good" thought Starscream. He turned to his new brothers. "Thundercracker, Skywarp. Are you glad you're here?"

 

"Uh, yeah. Sure Starscream. I'm a little confused about some stuff, but when we get back to base, maybe you can clear some stuff up for me." said Skywarp.

 

Thundercracker was looking at his paint job, and his body, wondering why he looked like Skywarp and Starscream. He knew that they were brothers, but he didn't think that brothers necessarily looked alike. He remembered his dad's stories about those Autobot brothers Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. He said that they looked different, but similar. So if he had had something different, but his make up was generally similar to the other two, then he would've understood it a little better. "Hey Starscream. How come me and Skywarp both have bodies that look like you?" he asked.

 

Starscream then started to explain that his body provided the base for the mold, but before he could finish Soundwave inturrupted. "Starscream. Autobots are leaving Cybertron. Look. At 8 o'clock. There. They're heading towards Earth."

 

Stascream looked up at the sky, and sure enough, there were those blasted twins, their scout, those two Dinobots, Jetfire, Bulkhead, and two of the Aerialbots. He figured that if they're heading towards Earth, that they'd better find a way to follow them without being spotted. He turned to Soundwave. "Soundwave. With your new body, can you produce a field that will allow us to follow them without being detected both by their scanners, and visually?"

 

"Yes. Starscream. It can be done. Buzzsaw. Laserbeak. Eject. Operation: Interference. Shield us from their visual and scanners. Fly. We'll follow."

 

The two birds soared up into the sky, and incorporating new technology, created a field of energy that made them invisible to both scanners and optics alike. They had the perfect cover for following the Autobots back to Earth.

 

Now all that they had to do was follow them home, and they had nothing to worry about.

 

End of Chapter 5

 

Sorry for this short chapter. I've got a little bit of my paper to finish, so not much longer. Enjoy.

Soundwave is back, perfect.

Awsome story.

 

 

 

'He thought that that was interesting." I think you goof up on this line.

Soundwave is back, perfect.

Awsome story.

Yeah. I've watched the G1 season one enough to capture his speech pattern. He doesn't speak in whole formed paragraphs. He tends to use his speech in a fashion like. Name. Name. Eject. Operation: whatever. Or other brief sentences. I thought that if the Autobots had Broadcast, why not let the Decepticons have a communications officer, and the coolest one I could think of, since I wanted to bring back some Deceps, was Soundwave, and his five tapes and Ratbat. So now we have Soundwave, Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Ratbat, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, and Skywarp and Thundercracker added to the team. And as far as the Protectobots go, they'll make their appearance by the end of the story.

'He thought that that was interesting." I think you goof up on this line.

Actually, it's supposed to be something like he thought that it was interesting. I'll make the change. Thanks for pointing that out.

"Rattrap" He's going to be in the story?

"Rattrap" He's going to be in the story?

You may have misread it. Or you're hopeful. But I didn't plan on putting RatTRAP in, but I did put RatBAT back into the continuity. But I'm not sure about Rattrap. He's kind of annoying.
