Transformers Prime: My Wild Adventure (OC)

Deus Ex Machina

Hey all, I hope you're doing well. Happy (late) New Year 2023 and happy Chinese New Year. The chapter took a while to write, in fact it took all of my winter break to finish this piece. But now you have Knockout and Breakdown in the story!

NOTE: You're probably wondering Arcee likes talking to Sean often. This is because Jack and Sean are the oldest of the humans, and have more responsibility on themselves and the other two kids. Think of it like a relationship between the parents and the oldest kid in a family.

Sean's guardian is Optimus Prime, but Bulkhead will swap in when he is busy on leader activities or is being repaired.

Sean Rodriguez and his family are, so far, the only OCs in the story.*

BEGIN STORY

Thursday, December 8th, 2010. Second Day of Finals.

Bulkhead strolled towards the small town of Jasper, quietly whistling an old tune from Cybertron to himself. His mind, or processor in robot terms, drifted to memories of old, and often recapped what he experienced out loud, but quieted whenever he drove near cars or humans.

There was a good memory in the last month.

---FLASHBACK---

"And the Cons would've been scrap metal if I hadn't been distracted by the human," Arcee explained to Optimus, who watched the green screen of the monitors, searching for any signals of either Cliffjumper or the Nemesis.

But the mere mention of 'human' snapped him out of focus. He turned his optics at her, Bee, and Bulk who stood nearby. "Human?"

Bumblebee spoke in whirs and beeps, ":There were actually three humans, all boys. Two teenagers and one charge- er...child.:"

"Three boys," Optimus grunted. He didn't like where this was going. Three humans saw the team in action, and were nearly attacked by the Decepticons.

"I guess the second and third caught us in action, I don't know, I was busy at the time," Arcee stated while slightly raising her hands. She didn't tell them at the time of the report that she nearly ran over the second teenager while driving into the canal.

"Bee, you said they escaped through the sewage pipe?" Bulk asked the scout, who replied ":Yeah, that's where they went.:"

"If the Decepticons are targeting us, anyone perceived as an ally would be at great risk," Optimus furrowed his metal brows. Turning towards Ratchet, who was already at the keyboard, he ordered him to go on the database for the town of Jasper, narrowing down any popular places where the humans might've been.

In the meantime, he asked for physical descriptions of the three humans. Arcee described the first, Jack Darby, as she knew the name after the second teenager, "Sean," called him out for being inches away from running him over. Arcee also gave the details of Sean, while Bumblebee lastly explained the child with the glasses, who they didn't figure out the name of yet.
