Transformers: Burning Fury (S2) - Episode 2

Transformers: Burning Fury - Season 2

Episode 2: Walking with Dinobots

The next day, Jessica is at work, typing on the computer - looking at reports of meteorites last night, then Mike comes in with some files.

Mike: *walks in* Those reports of the meteorites in Nevada that you requested, ma'am. *puts them on Jessica's desk*

Jessica: *picks one up, opens it and reads it, then looks at the photo from the surveillance satellite* This looks like the meteorites that the news reported yesterday, but they are not what they seem to be. Do we have a team there to investigate?

Mike: *nods* Jackson and his team are en route to the Nevada Desert right now, as we speak.

Jessica: Tell him to be careful while he and his team are out there, we don't want to be caught off guard.

Mike: I'll make sure of that, ma'am.

Jessica: Oh, and one more thing, Optimus has sent out the new Autobot arrival 'Beachcomber' to join Jackson on this dune-based mission.

Mike: -sigh- Another Autobot? Really, ma'am? I'm pretty sure it's nothing more than just a wild goose chase, not much worth Optimus' time.

Jessica: Mike, in the event the Decepticons hear of this and find Jackson and his team, we always have to have an Autobot present ^^

Mike: *sighs* Yes, ma'am.

Meanwhile, in the outskirts of the Nevada Desert, the team Jessica sent out to investigate gets set up for their search round the area.

Jackson: Make sure nothing is missed out, boys. Remember, we're here to investigate only.

Soldier: Aye aye, sir. Okay, boys, let's search the area!

Moments later, a blue/silver 2014 Polaris RZR XP1000 Dune Buggy drives on over.

????: *transforms into robot mode, saluting* Beachcomber, reporting for duty, my main man. Always scoutin' and always searchin'. ^_^

Jackson: *looks* Jessica did say that Optimus was going to send out a new Autobot. Welcome

Beachcomber: The honour's all mine, mister...?

Jackson: Jackson. General Jackson Waters.

Beachcomber: Well whoopdeedoo, the water is my kinda' thing, when it comes to relaxin' on beaches. ^.^ Now, then, this here's a search party. Am I correct?

Jackson: Yes, we got reports of meteorites during last night, and Jessica ordered me and my team to go investigate their true origins.

Beachcomber: Well then, just point me in the right direction, and I'll be combin' this desert like nobody's business, Mr Waters.

Jackson: Alright, then.

The team checks the area then found something.

Soldier: Sir! We found something!!!

Beachcomber: *rubbing a finger in his audio receptor* Boy, for such small organics, you certainly have big lungs.

Jackson: *him and Beachcomber go over to the soldier* What have you found?

The solider points out a massive series of holes in the desert, as well as footprints - massive ones to be exact.

Jackson: Well I'll be... Footprints as big as yours, Beachcomber.

Beachcomber: Probably even bigger, my main man. 

He starts analyses the several footprints more closely, scanning any DNA left behind within the traces.

Beachcomber: Well, screw my diodes and call me a Terrorcon. These here footprints do indeed belong to Cybertronians, with possible bestial forms! I count seven, at least.

Jackson: Judging these tracks, they moved out, just as they landed, but where they went? That remains a mystery.

Elsewhere, in an abandoned warehouse.

The Triceratops continually rams his horns into one of the walls, the Stegosaurus rams his way through some crates, the Brontosaurus rams his head through the roof - so he can have a better view outside, the Raptor slices at some oil cans, the Pteranodon flies around the ceiling, also around the Brontosaurus' long neck, while the saber-tooth lays on some wooden boxes, watching all this. The leader, the one whom can transform into a T-Rex, sits atop a makeshift throne, with both his hands together, in observation of his troops.

The Saber-tooth then sniffs something, before she jumps down some boxes and walks to a small crate, using her paw to remove the unlocked lid and looks inside to see what looks like cat biscuits. She sniffs closer, then, using it's, tongue takes one of the biscuits and then chews it.

??: *swallow it* ....!!! Mmmmm~ *licks her lips then digs in eating quietly*

???: .... *thinks* My troops... Barely disciplined... Even before that incident began, so long ago.... Still hard to remember... I want to remember...! Remember... How much pain he has caused us all.....

The saber-tooth eats more, then senses something. She turns and snarls at the stegosaurus, who walked over to see what it's doing.

??: Do you mind? I'm trying to eat here!

Stegosaurus: *snarls back at her. He was clearly VERY hungry* >_<

She turns to face him, snarling aggressively at him.

Pteranodon: *lands and looks* Oooohh boy! A Dino and cat fight, boys!

???: *stands and deploys a Plasma Sword* ENOUGH!!!!!! *slams his sword's blade onto the ground*

??: *stumbles by the shake from the sword hitting the ground, then falls on her back* Oof!

Pteradon: AWWWW, no fair! I wanted to see them fight!

The saber-tooth struggles, then manages to get on her side, then gets up and shakes herself.

???: How do you expect for us to work together against our true foe, if we continue to fight among-st ourselves!?

??: He's got a point there, guys. I mean, I may be the only lady here, but I even know we have to work together. *sits down*

Stegosaurus: ... *transforms into his robot mode* -sigh- Yeah, I'm sorry. It's just, these long journeys make me REALLY hungry.

Saber-tooth: We are all hungry. *transforms into her robot mode* One way of doing this is if scout ahead and find something for us to eat.

???: *retracts his sword* You may... And do not hesitate to destroy, IF you are under attack.

Saber-tooth: Understood, sir.

???: Now, go! We all tire of starvation.

Nods in understanding, then she transforms to beast mode and runs out of the warehouse, and runs into the woods ahead.

In the Ark...

Beachcomber: *on the monitor, still in Nevada* And that's all we know, Prime.

Elita: Giant foot prints? Could it be a Decepticon?

Gemma: I don't think so, Elita. Those footprints... I know what type of animals they are, especially those, and one them appears to resemble T-Rex feet.

Wheeljack: T-Rex?

Ratchet: Pfft! Puh-lease, that's impossible! According to your Earth's history, the Tyrannosaurus Rex has been extinct for over millions of years - WAY before our ship ever crashed on this very mountain.

Beachcomber: Well, who ever made these must be real good.

Ratchet: Well, I'm sorry, Beachcomber. But unless I see irrefutable proof if this Dinosaur's existence, I'm considering it a boyish hoax.

Optimus: That's enough, Ratchet. Beachcomber, keep up the good work in Nevada. If you report any further suspicious activity, report it to me immediately.

Beachcomber: *salute* You can count on me and Jackson's team, sir. Over and out.

Melita: But lad, shouldn't we just head over there and give a hand?

Optimus: Beachcomber is well adept to handling himself in the desert, Melita. I have every confidence in him.

Bumblebee: Well, I'm on scouting duty round the outskirt of the city. So I'd best go pick Gary up as well. *walks to the exit*

Optimus: Understood, but remain cautious of any Decepticons in the area.

Meanwhile.....

Saber-tooth: *hides in some bushes and scans the area for some houses* I need a proper vehicle mode, something for me to better blend in. Oh, this is-- *sees a Ferrari* Ah, hello you. *scans it with her optics, then transforms into a Ferraro Mobhel, before she then drives out of the bushes and onto the road* Now THIS is me!

She drives down the road, to begin the search - and not a moment too soon either, for Jazz was driving on past.

Jazz: Sweet quiet neighborhood. 'Wish Cybertron had these kinds of streets. *spots the Ferrari* Well, now, check this one out.

The Ferrari drive past Jazz.

Jazz: Mm-MM! It'd certainly be a shame to let that gorgeous chunk o' loveliness drive away.

He does a U-turn, then follows the Ferrari.

??: *looks at her wind-mirror* Uh oh, I got company. Okay, keep calm and keep driving.

Jazz: Hey, baby, where're y'all going? I just wanna talk!

The Ferrari then drives into the wood, as Jazz follows seconds later, turning round the corner, only to find the Ferrari has disappeared.

Jazz: *halts to a stop*  Okay... That is one fast Ferrari.

As Jazz leaves the wood, he is unaware that the Ferrari had transformed into a saber-tooth, as she jumps on a large branch, watching him leave.

??: *quietly* That was too close. But, then again, that car seemed to have a voice speaking aloud, one almost familiar... Could it be.....Jazz?

Back in the warehouse...

Triceratops:  I can't take another minute in this rusty fortress! I need to move!!

Pteradon: Calm down, buddy! She'll be back soon, and besides, this is the only place we can be safe from those little creatures.

???: Those puny organics are nothing to me...

Pteradon: Uh, not to be a pain, but what if we cross one of them?

???: Then we shall CRUSH it! *clenches fist* The only way we know how.

Pteradon: I got a bad feeling about this.

In the forest, Bumblebee drives in the forest, with Gary at the driver's seat.

Bumblebee: *scanning around the area* Beachcomber said this was the general direction the intruders left in. So, where are they...?

Gary: Could it be, they must have taken refuge in a abandoned building?

Bumblebee: Quite possibly, Gary. Or, in the Decepticon's case, a temporary cave. *snickers at the thought of it*

Gary: Oh, good one, mate. *chuckles*

While they both continue chatting through the forest, the Saber-Tooth watches them from atop the trees, stalking stealth-fully. She crouches down onto he branch, as if getting ready to pounce.

Bumblebee: *suddenly stops* Shh! Just a sec, Gary... I can hear something...... You'd best step out to a safe distance, so I can transform...

Gary: Decepticons? *gets out*

Bumblebee: *transforms into robot mode* Possibly...*looks 'round* And, if I didn't know any better, I'd say it was right.... Under my nose...... *deploys his stinger and turns around, just as the Saber-Tooth pounces onto him* !!

The saber-tooth roars as she pounces Bumblebee's down, pinning him, growling.

Bumblebee: AGH!!!

Gary: Holy cow! A SABER-TOOTH!? D:

Bumblebee: *kicks her off and stands back up, facing her* I'll ask what that is later! *takes a swing when she pounces again*

The prehistoric cat jumps back, rest all fours on the tree and then jumps forward, straight at him - but Bumblebee quickly moves to one side, as the saber-tooth lands. Bumblebee turns back and shoots a stinger into her side, and she get hit falling on her side. She gets upn snarling at him.

Bumblebee: Now, then, how's 'bout we get you back into a nice, comfy Zoo, eh? *arms himself* Don't make me use force now.

The saber growls, then gets up fast and pounces on him again.

Bumblebee: !! WHOA! *gets pounced against a tree, holding back both her jaws*

The saber-tooth tries to reach his head, snapping her jaws, but is held back by Bee's strength.

Bumblebee: I am not your cat food!!

Back outside the warehouse, Beachcomber, along with Jackson's team, was closer to tracking his target.

Beachcomber: We must be very close now. *using his tracker, while Jackson followed* Now then, if I were a big, lumbering Dinosaur, where would I hide...?

Jackson: I say, a quiet abandoned and dark place, such as... *looks at the old warehouse* There...

Beachcomber: *turns his tracker in the warehouse's direction, just as it bleeps faster* By golly, you're right, Jackson! ^.^ Now then, move in nice an' quietly...

Jackson: OK, team, we don't want to spook whoever they are, so any sign of something big, back up as fast you can, understood?

Soldiers: Roger. *moves forward, slowly and quietly*

Little did they know, that the Raptor was stalking them, in the shadows above.

Soldier: Easy, boys... Expect the unexpected.

The raptor brings his head slowly towards one of the soldiers on one side, snarling quietly - While the stegosaurus, in the darkness, stalks closely from the other side. He looked hungry also...

Jackson: Hold positions...

His team stops in their tracks.

Jackson: Beachcomber, I've got a bad feeling about this.

Beachcomber: Yeah... Almost as if we were bein' wa-- *suddenly bashed into a wall by a long tail* !! OOF!

Jackson: Beachcomber!!!!

A giant carnivore, with a sail, reveals itself out of the darkness, then one by one, the other giant carnivores come out of the shadows, circling round Jackson and his team.

Jackson:  !!? Oh my... Metal Dinosaurs!?!

Pteradon: *lands* Dinosuars, huh? So, that's what we--

???: Silence!

Pteradon: !! *mutters to himself* Geez, no need to get touchy.

???: You are not welcome here, fleshlings. >_< Be-gone now, or be terminated!! *transforms into his T-Rex mode, roaring threateningly*

Jackson: Back up! BACK UP! *backs up with his team*

The Raptor threateningly strikes at one of the soldier's arms, nearly hitting him.

Soldier: !! AAGH!! *accidentally fires a shot*

T-Rex: !!!! *hit in the side*....   

He then roars and shoots out a fire breath, destroying a fraction of the warehouse and leading the other dinosaurs out on a furious rampage.

Jackson: Move! NOW!!

The team moves quickly, just before the Triceratops rams head-on into a car.

Jackson: We need back up! *looks at Beachcomber* And he needs back up too.

All of the sudden, Jazz drives out of nowhere.

Jazz: No need to wait, Jazz is on the bake! *transforms and lunges, nun-chucking the Triceratops in the side*

Jackson: Thank goodness! 

He then notices the raptor charging straight at Jazz, snarling.

Jackson: JAZZ, LOOK OUT!!

Jazz: *jumps over the Raptor and back-flips* Ain't you fellas supposed to be extinct right now?

He then hear a screech, before he looks up as the Pteradon flies down straight at him.

Jazz: Whoa-- *before he can react, he's picked up by the shoulders, into the air* Now come on, lil' fella! Don't go gettin' me steamed now! *the Pterodactyl then drops him* WHOOOOAAAA!!!! *lands against the top of the Brontosaurus' neck, sliding down it then along the tail, 'Flintstones' style. He then lands and rolls onto his side* Ngg! Aw man, this just ain't my scene!

Jackson: You okay!?

Jazz: Oh, I'm fine. Just getting my chassis handed to me by a bunch o' dinosaurs, though!

Beachcomber struggles to get up, but manages to sit up, then looks, seeing Jazz in trouble.

Beachscomber: Now now, fellas, let's not resort to violence. 

He gets up and rushes out to help Jazz, firing at the oncoming Spinosaurus. As it falls down onto the ground, the T-Rex see's this and turns to the two Autobots, growling aggresively.

Beachcomber:  Easy there, big fella! I was only intending for that to be a warning shot.

The T-Rex roars at them.

Jazz: I don't think it's not gonna let you go for that!

Beachcomber: *backing up* I can see that... -sigh- Oh, me and my trigger finger.

Back in the forest, Bumblebee and the Saber-Tooth were still fighting. The saber smacks her paw at Bumblebee's face as he's sent flying and hits against the tree. The saber then jumps at him again.

Bumblebee: *catches her and holds her back her jaws once more* Ngg! What does it take to subdue you already!??

The saber tries to bite his face, as she snarls, but with no luck.

Bumblebee: *holding back both her jaws, whilst being drooled all over* Nnnngggg~!

Gary: *helpless to fight* BUMBLEBEE!!!!! 

The mention of his name triggers the Tiger's primary circuits back online, before she stops snarling, then backs up quickly, releasing Bumblebee.

Bumblebee: *panting* That's right. There's a good girl. Nobody's gonna hurt you now. *his face seems familiar to the Tiger*

The sabers optics widen, as she shook her head in disbelief.

Gary: Bee, it looks....scared.

Bumblebee: Gary... If I didn't know any better... I'd say this feline's crying.

Gary: It looks like it's seen--

The Saber then turns and runs off, back to the abandon warehouse.

Bumblebee: WAIT!! *transforms to vehicle mode, lets Gary back inside, then drives after her*

Back at the small battlefield, with the metallic dinosaurs.

T-Rex: *biting threateningly at Jazz and Beachcomber*

Jazz: *backs up* How many times does this bot have to remind you? We are not dinner!

Beachcomber: Animals hunt to survive, my friend!

Jazz: Now you tell me!?!

The T-Rex swipes his tail at the car, which explodes on impact, causing Jackson and his team to duck as the debris is sent flying, nearly crushing them.

Jackson: Oh, this isn't going well.

The T-Rex then turns to them, opens his mouth ready to breath fire at them.

Beachcomber: !!! Jackson!! D:

Then, all of the sudden, the Saber-tooth jumps in the scene, roaring, then pounces on the T-Rex's head, after coming to her senses once more, causing him to fall and roll once, as the saber jumps off and lands, blocking the T-Rex's path to Jackson and his team. The T-Rex gets up and roars at the saber-tooth, as she roars back. just then, Bumblebee drives in.

Gary: !!! WHOA! Dinosaurs!?!

Jackson: This is our chance to escape! Everyone, fall back!

Stegosaurus: NO! *transforms into his robot mode, weakened from the fight* P-please... Don't leave us here...!

Jazz: They're... Transformers??

Gary: !! So they're the ones who crashed landed at the Desert yesterday.

The saber-tooth growls, calming the T-Rex down. And, as he does, she turns to Jazz and the others.

Jazz: Okay, lets get these guys to the Ark. Meanwhile, Beachcomber, you report to Optimus.

Beachcomber: Your word is my command, Jazz. ^^

Later, back in the Ark, the seven new Transformers were being examined in the bridge by Ratchet, in their robot modes, minus the Saber-tooth.

Wisecrack: So, they're Transformers who transform into Dinosaurs?

Jazz: No doubt 'bout it. Question is, how'd they even tune on over to this planet in the first place?

Bumblebee:

Optimus: Well, all things considered, you did the right thing in bringing them here, Jazz. Who knows what further damage they could have wrought onto the city.

Freddy: *looks at them, with Amy and Gemma* And they have forms of dinosaurs, we know of, expect for the Saber-tooth. It's not even a dinosaur, but it's still a prehistoric beast, after the dinosaurs.

Ratchet: It remains pre-historic at-least, yes. And I'm even detecting traces of a recently scanned Ferrari car in the alternate mode as well.

Jazz: The one I saw today!? I knew something wasn't right about that car.

The saber-tooth was looking at them all, whiles sitting down, then turns to see Bumblebee calmly kneeling down to her.

Bumblebee: You have a name, Miss?

The saber looks away, but Bumblebee gently brings her head back to face him.

Bumblebee: here's no reason to be scared of us. We're all friends here.

Gary: Take it easy, Bee! Last time you met that thing--

Bumblebee: I'm pretty sure it wasn't intentional, Gary.

Amy: He's right, it's just scared.

??: ..... So is my leader...

Gemma: *jumps in surprise as did the others* D-Did it just talk?!?

???: She did... And I am her leader.

Bumblebee: *looks at him, then back at the saber-tooth* Wait, that voice.... *looks closely into the saber-tooth's eyes*.... No... I-it's impossible.... Optimus. I think this is.... 'Windrun'!

Melita: You mean the lass that went missing back on Cybertron!?!

Windrun: Yes... And this here is my missing crew.

This rings a bell for Orcanka, who recalls seeing the leader before.

Orcanka: Wait, of course! *looks at their leader* You're 'Grimlock'! You're the one whom me and Roadbuster saw, back when we got the S.O.S from Windrun!

Grimlock: *looks at her, showing no emotion* Yes... We are the long lost 'Lightning Strike Coalition' force. And we are here... For our vengeance. ):<

Meanwhile, in the Nemesis, Shockwave is settling into his new laboratory, when Delita walks in.

Delita: Megatron is so pleased of your success, bring our Decepticlones back online, Shockwave.

Shockwave: *examining one of the stolen fossils, from his time in the Museum* I live only to perform admirably for lord Megatron. Nothing more.

Delita: Well, you sure did put fear in Starscream when he saw you. *chuckles*

Shockwave: I have little concern for Starscream's opinions, Delita-1. Only failure itself need fear me.

In the Throne room, Lanch was on her one knee, bowing her head to Megatron.

Megatron: You've done well, finding Shockwave, Lanch.

Lanch: Thank you, master. The task was hardly a difficult one to toil at. And Shockwave is now tinkering in his lab, as I speak.

Megatron: Good... He is everything the tactical advantage I require at this time. Even with this newly upgraded body of mine, I remain not fully re-charged. Until then, Shockwave shall help tip the balance.

Back in the Ark...

Grimlock: What we tell you is true, Orion Pax. And we have Shockwave to blame for the way we all look now.

Gemma: Shockwave? You mean he's a crazy mad psychopath scientist!?

Pteradon: Yeah, and a crazy one at that. He may not show it in his face, but he sure is on the inside.

Grimlock: He was the very reason for our disappearance. Isn't that right, Orcanka...?

Ironhide: Wait. *turns to Orcanka* You told me you got an S.O.S beacon from Windrun, right? Like you said just then.

Orcanka; *nods* I revived it from Windrun, who went missing in the sea of rust, a few days after she left on a mission, with her team.

Windrun: ..... But it was too late.... Shockwave got to us before you arrived, and.... Well, you saw what he did to Grimlock.

Bumblebee: But...but how did he even do this to you!?

Windrun: He wanted to test us with a DNA sample he collected, and we were all his experiment.

Flashback.....

Windrun: *narrate* I was the easy one to get tortured.....

Windrun: *wakes up, hanging upside down in chains, before she looks and shivers* *she tries to get free from he chains, which are wrapped round her and tied round her wrists and ankles* Help!! Anyone!? ANYBODY!!! HEEEELLLPPP!!!! *she then started swinging* G-G-Got to... G-G-Get out of this!

Shockwave: *walks out of the shadows* Do not attempt to struggle, young one. *taking out a syringe* You are to remain here for quite some time...

Windrun: *looks gasp seeing the syringe, she tries to get free* L-LET ME GO!!! PLEASE!!

Shockwave: Do not worry, Autobot. Seeing as you and your crew have passed the DNA splicing for their alternate modes, this will give you and the others an extra boost.

He grabs her head, as she tries to struggles out of his grip, but then she gasps as the syringe is jabbed in her neck, and Shockwave inject a liquid inside of her.

Other flashback images of shown, of repeated, silhouetted tortures inflicted upon Grimlock and his teammates. Truly, it was gruesome.

Grimlock: *narrate* The damages he inflicted upon us all.... Unforgivable.... The more he had his way, the more we.... Became these freaks...!

Windrun: *narrate* And our fear was, we'd lost hope.... But then...

stilling dangling in chains, Windrun opens her optics, as she hears footsteps walking towards her, then she looks, seeing Shockwave.

Shockwave: Test subjects are responding well, young one. Your teammates in the other room are slowly, but surely, becoming my minions ,and soon.... *holds her head* You'll be one of those minions *holds another syringe*

Windrun's optics widen, shaking her head again to get free. As the needle draws closer to her neck, she lets out a terrifying scream. Her scream was so loud, it echoes, and it reaches up to Grimlock.

Grimlock: ........ *opens his raging red optics* No....... No more...!  *begins flaming up all over, before breaking his bonds* NO!!! MMMOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! *transforms into his new alternate mode, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, much to the shock and horror of the other captives*  *charges his way through the walls, reaching Shockwave*

Shockwave: *turns seeing this* !!! Impossible! He has overwritten my block programming!!

Grimlock looks at Windrun, then turns to Shockwave in burning fury, and unleashes his mighty roar at him.

Shockwave attempted to defend himself with the syringe in his left hand.

Grimlock:  *brutally bites down onto Shockwave's left arm*

Shockwave: !!! AAAAARRRGGHHH!!! *drops the syringe*

Showing no mercy for their relentless captor, Grimlock tears away Shockwave's left arm away entirely, leaving him leaking Energon from the shoulder, as he screams in agony, pleasing to Grimlock's audio receptors. Then, just to finish him off, he takes a single swing of his tail and whacks Shockwave backward into some volatile explosives. The Volatile explosives explode on impact. Snarling, he walks up to Windrun and gently grabs her with his mouth, and yanks her out of the chains, then turns and runs out of the room, carrying Windrun.

He then makes it to the others' room, where his teammates are held, in cages. He lets Windrun back down, then transforms back into robot mode, deploying his sword and then slicing at the cages with his teammates inside.

Grimlock: Shockwave will contain us no longer! >_<

Pteradon: Finally! But how do we get out of here!? *helps get Windrun out of chains, then helps her up*

Grimlock: We shall find a way. After-all... Shockwave has provided us with the power to escape...

As they rush to escape the lab, Grimlock stops and looks back at the flaming wreckage. He can only see Shockwave's severed arm is still there. And yet, the rest of him was nowhere to be seen.

Grimlock: .... *then departs with the others*

End of flashback...

Windrun: And that's how we got out.

Grimlock: We are the lone survivors of Shockwave's twisted experiments. And we have no equal... Lightning Strike! Introduce yourselves.

Pterodactyl: Hi there! The name's 'Swoop' - Aerial Defence.

Triceratops: They call me 'Slug' - Brute Force.

Stegosaurus: Um, I'm 'Snarl' - Artillery.

Spinosaurus: My name is 'Scorn' - Combat Force.

Raptor: My name is 'Slash' - Stealth Expertise.

Brontosaurus: ... Uuhh.... Uh, me... 'Sludge' - Uh, Strategy... I think.

Swoop: *pats his shoulder* Poor Sludge got it worse, as you can tell.

Gemma: We can't blame him for it, Swoop.

Grimlock: We blame Shockwave for everything, fleshling! He is the one responsible for our appearances this very day. And we have finally tracked him to this planet, in order to destroy him. And if any of you Autobots dare try to stop us, well... You know the rest...

Speedor: Wait a minute- What!?

Grimlock: .... *turns and exits the base*

Swoop: He... Has some anger issues.

Slug: Then again, don't we all...?

Snarl: Wait, boss! *goes after him*

Bumblebee: *to Windrun* Hey, Windrun. Erm... Why exactly haven't you transformed like your friends have?

Windrun: It's 'cause Shockwave has what he said; feline DNA, left left from his latest experiments. I can transform to robot mode, but..

Bumblebee: But...?

Windrun looks away...

Bumblebee: Oh..... You don't have to hide yourself from me, Windrun. I'm not one for judging, honest.

Windurn: ....*Sighs* Don't judge me, then. *she transforms into her robot mode*

Bumblebee: !!!  Whoa.... You.... Y-you look..... Very nice.

Windrun looks away, holding her right arm.

Bumblebee: I mean it! You look... Very great~

Swoop: *walks over* Come on, Windrun, he made a good comment.

Windrun: *blushes, hiding a little smile* Don't you start, Swoop...

Meanwhile, Shockwave is analysing a dino skull, before he then types something, then shows a blueprint and of what it's like - almost like an insect.

Shockwave: Soon my project shall be complete. Inevitably, my failed experiments in the past shall be but a memory...

Back in the Ark, Ratchet leads Grimlock and the others across the corridor.

Ratchet: I understand, you and your team had sustained injuries after your arrival on Earth.

Windrun: Yes, but we Knew we'd be landing something not good.

Grimlock: The tiny stone particles within that landscape were not much help either - burying everywhere in my very circuitry! To what do you refer it?

Ratchet: Sand. >.>

Scorn: So that's what kept jamming my gears!? Ugh! Next time, I have remind myself to land in the water!

Sludge: Duh, what water?

Slash: A type of liquid this planet possesses.

Sludge: Oh, me Sludge knew that. ^.^

Ratchet: Anyway, I figured your team could use a re-tuning, Grimlock. My medical lab is just right around this corner.

Back at the bridge...

Orcanka: I knew it was Grimlock that I saw back then.

Medjet: Those poor guys. What has gotten into Shockwave's head?!

Orcanka: I have no idea.... And I'd hate to see what devices he used back on Cybertron.

Just as they enter Ratchet's Med Lab, they're met with the sight of his CR Chamber. They then allowed their fear to get the better of them once more.

Grimlock: *stepping backward* No... It cannot be...!

Swoop: Shockwave's torture chamber!! D:

Ratchet: Torchure Chamber? That? It's just a simple CR chamber.

Windrun: S-Shockwave put us in those things...... I-it just looks a lot like that!

Slug: K-keep that thing away from us...!

Sludge: Me Sludge no like! DX

Windrun: *holds her head, as images of Shockwave's lethal tortures echoed in her mind once more, twitching in a feral manner* N-no! NOT AGAIN!!

Grimlock:  *roars, then transforms into his T-Rex mode*

Ratchet: !? By the Allspark!! D:

In a blind panic, all the others transform into their beast modes as well. Windrun lets out a ferocious roar.

Bumblebee: *hears her* Windurn?! *runs down the corridor*

Optimus: Bumblebee!

Orcanka: !! Oh no! *follows*

Grimlock:  *using his jaws, he then bites and tears at the "torture chamber"*

Ratchet: *bashed into a wall, by Scorn's tail* !! *com* Optimus!! We have a serious problem down here!

Windrun then walks over to him then crouches down, getting ready to pounce him.

Ratchet: -gasp-

Bumblebee: No, Windrun!! *rushes in and grabs her by the side* Windrun, snap out of it! You're not acting yourself again!

Windrun struggles to get free from Bee.

Orcanka: *runs in holding her rifle* Grimlock!

Grimlock: *turns growls*

Orcanka: *lowers her rifle* Calm down, Grimlock, we don't want to hurt you nor your team.

Swoop then swoops in and whacks her aside, using his talons, knocking her to the wall.

Being the most scared, Sludge charges his way through the exit, making it bigger, somewhat. Grimlock roars and then runs through the exit. And as the Dinobots followed, Windrun manages to knock Bumblebee off-of her, then follows, just as Optimus runs in.

Ratchet: Grimlock and his team have gone haywire, Optimus! They took only one good look at my CR Chamber, before they all lost it!

Orcanka: *walks over holding her shoulder* They must have seen it before, maybe when they were tortured?

Ratchet: They said Torture Chamber, yes.

Bumblebee: There's no time to worry about that right now! Those guys are on a rampage through our own base!

Optimus: Autobots! We must stop them, before they cause damage!

Orcanka: But where could they be going? We'd best track their location.

Ironhide: *Shouts down the corridor* Never mind their location! They're right here in the darned bridge!!

At the bridge.

Wheeljack: And they don't look happy! D:

Windrun snarls at them.

Ironhide: Windrun, don't do this! You got to snap out of it!

Windrun roars at him.

Grimlock: *twitch* De-stroy....! D-de.... --Stroy...!! 

He roars and flames the ceiling with his fiery breath, Slug charges into a computer, Sludge ramming into the ceiling with his head, Scorn charges, nearly hitting Elita as she moves to one side and he rams into a wall, Snarl firing lasers from his tail-spikes, which Wisecrack, Speedor and Melita ducked as Slash's clawing at a screen.

Near the computer is a small crack on a mountain rock - and inside, Gary hides, with Gemma and the others. Gary looks out then, backs up.

Gary: *Whispers* Quick, back up!

They back up as Scorn walks past, lowering his head and sniffs, growling.

Amy shakes in utter fear, as Freddy holds her hand.

Freddy: *whispers* Shhh, just stay quiet

Scorn sniffs more, then lift his head up, leaving.

Gary stays quiet, as did the others, not daring to make a noise or move, as Gary moves closer to the exit.... Scorn bends down and roars at him. Gary and others scream, as scorn uses one of his claws to get them.

Ironhide: Oi, spine-guy! *shoots into Scorn's side*

Scorn turns and snarls at him.

Ironhide: Pick on someone your own size! *Shoots again*

Scorn charges at him, as Ironhide rolls to one side.

Wheeljack: in a corner, holds his spear, keeping Windrun back* Now, Windrun, don't get too furious!

Windrun growls, as she swipes her paw at his spear, trying to knock it off his hand.

Wisecrack: *com* Optimus, get in here, QUICK! *ducks from Swoop, as he flies over him* I'd rather we not all end up extinct either!!

Optimus: *enters the bridge* Grimlock, cease all this!! We Autobots mean you no harm!

Melita: *Pokes her head out from behind the computer* Lad, I think his feral side is so high! He won't listen to you! D:

She looks up then ducks her head back behind the computer, as Grimlock tries to bite her head off.

Gary: At this rate, they'll be wiped out!

Gemma: We can't go out there! They'll kill us!

Windrun grabs Wheeljack's spear with her mouth and tosses it to one side, then growls at Wheeljack. Just as she's about to pounce, Bumblebee gets in front of Wheeljack, facing Windrun.

Bumblebee: Windrun, listen to me! I know your in there! Whatever Shockwave had done to you! You can fight this! you can face your fear! Don't let it get to you and control you!

Windrun simply growls.

Bumblebee: Please, Windrun, I know you can fight this!

Then, taken by surprise, Snarl whacks him aside with his attack-tail, as Bee hits the ground.

Wheeljack: Bumblebee! D:

Gary: *shakes his fist* That tears it! >_< *rushes out to help Bumblebee*

Gemma: GARY, NO!!!!

Amy: COME BACK!!!

Windrun walks to Bee, snarling, then stops, seeing Gary run to him and face her.

Gary: Hey, fang-girl! You wanna piece o' me??

Wheeljack: Gary, don't!

Freddy: Gary, don't be a fool!

Windrun lowers her head, ready to eat him - but just then, Snarl interferes, nearly hitting Windrun aside and he's trying to claim Gary as his own meal, but Windrun roars back, not backing down.

Gary: Both of you, back off! I'm not letting you anywhere near Bumblebee!

Grimlock looks then walks over to Teletraan-1, while Optimus holds back Sludge's attack as he see's this.

Optimus: Grimlock!

Gary looks as gasp in horror, as Grimlock stands, facing Teletraan-1

Medjet: *holding Swoop back the claws* No!

Wheeljack: Wait a cycle... Maybe my magnetic inducer can stop them! *takes that very device out, before using it to shoot out a ray, which hits both Snarl and Windrun*

The two felt they're trying to stay up, but then hits the ground hard as they get magnified to the floor.

Wheeljack: Yes! Optimus, use this! *tosses him the device*

Optimus pushes Sludge back, then aims and shoots him, to which Sludge then gets stuck to the wall. Then, one by one, he uses the device on the rest of the Dinobots, then turns to face Grimlock. Grimlock prepares his fire breath, aiming to destroy Teletraan-1.

Optiumus: !! No! *aims and shoots Grimlock with the device*

Grimlock turns, angry that he got shot, then he turns and charges at him, mouth open to fire, but then his jaw gets stuck to the ground, as he struggles to get back up - Just in time for Ratchet and Orcanka to run in.

Orcanka: Everyone alright?

Melita: *crawls out behind the computer* I'll live.

Gemma, Freddy and Amy runs out of their hiding, runs to Gary and hugs him, thanking heaven he's not hurt.

Windrun snarls agressively, not calming down, as were the Dinobots.

Speedor: How come they're not calming down?

Medjet: *approaches Swoop, who's magnetic to the wall, scans him and checks* It seems, their feral side is controlling them, and it's off the charts, Ratchet. *shows him, with her data's pad*

Ratchet: It appears they'll require a harmless sedative, if they're to regain their robot forms.

Sludge: *laying down, feeling scared, confused and helpless* -groan-

Elita: What can we do, Optimus?

Optimus: Hmm... Maybe the Matrix can help them.

Bumblebee: I hope it works.

Grimlock growls, as Optimus walks over to him.

Optimus: *opens his chest compartment, unveiling his Matrix* Worry not, Grimlock. This shall help you.

Harnessing the wisdom of the Primes, he uses that to replenish the forms of Grimlock and his comrades, harmlessly restoring their primary programming. Then, one by one, they transform back to robot mode, just as the magnetic effect wears off.

Windrun: *gets up* Wha....What just happened?

Grimlock: It had happened again... We lost ourselves to rage once more

Melita: And nearly tore the place down.

Windrun: I knew it... When we saw that CR chamber, and it clicked our memories of Shockwave's tortures....We should have faced out fears sooner.

Sludge: Me Sludge sorry.

Swoop: Yea, me too, what he said.

Ironhide: It's far too dangerous to keep them in here any longer, Optimus. I say we let them go.

Bumblebee: !? What!?

Melita: He's right, lad. Sorry, but he is.

Ironhide: These Autobots are just as much a danger to us as they are to themselves.

Snarl: So, you're all willing to throw us out as if we were mere garbage?! Well that's just ridiculo--

Grimlock: *stops him, with his arm* He is correct, Snarl... We know when we're not wanted here.

Windurn looks at him, in shock.

Grimlock: It's clear they will not help us defeat Shockwave... Lightning Strike, follow me. *turns and leaves*

Snarl: Whatever you say, boss. *follows*

Windrun hesitates for a moment, sighing before she follows them, as Grimlock walks to the exit, while his team follows on ahead.

Optimus: *following* Grimlock! There is no need to take Ironhide's word into account. While you remain a 'Dinobot', I have every confidence that Ratchet can help with your emotional conditions. And whatever plans you have against Shockwave can be resolved with more peaceful measures. Together, we can--

Grimlock:  *Turns and faces him, practically towering* You are weak, Optimus! You run, when you should fight. If you were there, in our places, you too would understand! We are here to destroy Shockwave - To prevent him from ever twisting another life, the way he did ours. And if you will not help me eradicate him, well... Then you are our enemy. ):< *turns and leaves*

Windrun looks at Optimus, with a sorry look in her optics, then follows, with her head down.

Bumblebee: *follows and stands next to Optimus* Windrun...

Back on Nemesis...

Megatron: Shockwave, how goes the project?

Shockwave: Slow, yet steady, Lord Megatron. Analysing these stolen fossils was no difficult task. And yet, while I have no captive Autobot to splice it with this time around, I believe that with this ship's technological advancements, there is always the option of cloning.

Megatron: Excellent, make that your priority. You may have lost those 'Dinobots', But we shall have a new army to serve under us. And then, the Universe shall be in Decepticons' hands.
