Transformers Prime: Maximal Revolution

Chapter 6

The Autobots stepped into their base to find Ratchet and Raf waiting. "How'd it go?" the young boy asked.

Ratchet's gaze zeroed in on Wheeljack and he pointed at him, "You. med berth now!"

"I'm fine doc-"

"NOW!" No one could remember seeing Wheeljack move so fast.

Jack and Miko joined Raf in their area and the younger boy asked, "So what happened?"

"It was amazing!" Miko pretty much shouted, "You know I'm not usually a unicorn girl but that was AWESOME!"

"Unicorn?" Raf said confused, "You mean Unicron."

"Nope, this time we really mean unicorn," Miko said with a grin. "Only this one doesn't prance around all sparkly. Instead it fires blast from it's horn and kicks Decepticons out of the sky!"

Raf gave her a confused look, "Well, we know Predacons inspired legendry creatures here, I guess a unicorn fits." He typed on his laptop and pulled an image on the main monitor, it showed a tapestry of a graceful, one horned, white creature. The Autobots gazed at the image curiously. "Meet the unicorn of European mythology."

"I see a resemblance," Arcee spoke up, "But the one we saw had wings."

"Wings?" Raf looked something up, "A winged unicorn, that's a more modern myth. A popular name for them is Alicorn."

"Then why is it different from it's predecessor?" Ultra Magnus asked.

"I wouldn't put it pass Shockwave to have experimented on it," Ratchet spoke up.

"What about the other's?" Raf asked.

Wheeljack rubbed his helm, "Well mine looked like some kind of turbo fox but with a lot of tails."

Raf started looking for anything similar in mythology. "Did it look like this?" He pulled up an image.

To everyone's surprise Miko spit out her drink and squealed, "A nine-tailed fox! You saw a nine-tailed fox?! That's AWESOME!" She noticed the looks Jack and Raf gave her and shrugged, "What? You two only ever read Brothers Grimm."

Optimus turned to Ultra Magnus, "And you?"

"I saw two, one was a red and gold bird that seemed to be able to control light while the other was a winged equine."

"Pegasus." Everyone turned to Jack who looked embarrassed, "It sounds like Pegasus the winged horse."

"That's right," Raf said pulling up two images, one a statue of a winged horse the other was a painting of a colorful bird surrounded by fire. "The Pegasus and the Phoenix of Greek mythology."

Optimus turned to the other members, "What did yours look like?"

"One of ours looked like the one in the photo. The cat with wings," Smokescreen spoke up.

Bumblebee answered in beeps and clicks and Raf looked at him surprised. "Two forms?" he asked. At Bee's nod Raf looked it up, "Okay, the winged cat is similar to the Pixiu and Bixie from Chinese mythology. And yours Bee actually sounds like two creatures from several Native American's mythology. Two shape shifting trickster deity's, one's associated with the coyote and the other the raven."

Everyone turned to Bulkhead, he rubbed his helm, "Mine looked like a elephant but with claws."

"Okay," Raf typed away, "That sounds like the-"

"Baku!" Miko cried when she saw the image.

"Yeah," Raf agreed, "The Baku of Chinese and Japanese mythology." He had pulled up images of all the creatures and Optimus gazed at them thoughtfully. At least now they knew what they were dealing with.
