I sighed as I was stuck at base. "I'M BORED!" I complained. Optimus shook his head amused. I heard engines. "SHATTERBACK!" Willy squealed. I lifted my head. I then transformed into my predacon form. I chittered excitedly and wagged my tail.

I got a little hyper and started to jump. "SHATTERBACK!" Ratchet yelled. I instantly sat down. I lowered my head in shame scared of getting hitten.
Ratchet grabbed a wrench and I whimpered in fear.
"Ratchet. Let me deal with him. He's my brother." Optimus told him. Ratchet huffed.
Optimus walked over to me. "It's okay, Shatterback. We're not mad. You just need to remain calm okay?" I nodded and Optimus gently rubbed my helm softly.
Once he left, I turned to Willy. He gently rubbed my snout and I purred.
I then saw Arcee and Bumblebee leave.
I transformed back. "So. . . What's on the activities list?" I asked nervously.
A loud feedback whined and I winced. "How about. . . Band Practice?" Miko asked. "But we're not a band." Raf said. Willy nodded. "Why so antisocial?" Miko asked. "Come on, Raf. You play anything?" Miko asked. "Um. . . Keyboard?"
"Laptops and samples. Good. Willy?" He tensed. "I don't play anything." He mumbled nervously. I watched the four human children interact. "Jack?"
"I sometimes mess around on the Harmonica." Jack said. "Do I look like I do country? Just cover yourself in fake blood and jump around screaming. You too, Willy." I looked at Willy.
He whimpered.
"Bulkhead, Shatterback, percussion. We'll go for a big industrial sound. D.I.Y. -- We're a band. You just got to learn the songs. This one's a ballad -- 'My Fist, your face.'"
Miko played the thing and I winced as it was super loud.
I heard an alarm. "STOP! STOP! STOP!" I yelled over the thing. "Oh, come on. You can't handle raw power?" Miko asked. "Fowler! Quick! Hide!" I said. All the kids hid behind me.
"Prime! Prime!" Agent Fowler snarled. "Agent Fowler. Uh, he's not here. Nobody's here. . . Except for me and Bulkhead." I stammered nervously. "Well, where did he go? Wait. Don't tell me. He's out pancaking a mini mall." Agent Fowler started to move and I moved my ped to keep the kids hidden. "Now, I don't know what language you bots speak on your planet, but Prime promised he would handle the Decepticons. . ." I took another step and the cord started to pull. I looked and widened my eyes.
"And blowing a crater in the middle of Nebraska is not what the word 'handle' means in English. So you tell Prime. . ." He then heard the speaker. "Since when are you bots electric?" He asked. I tensed.
The kids then stepped out. "Hey. How you doing?"
"Contact with Civilians! Team Prime has really gone off the book this time." Agent Fowler growled. "Wait, don't tell me. Your running a daycare center." Fowler sneered.
"Uh. . ."
"Yeah, we're interns." Jack stood up for me. "Student interns."
"Uh, earning extra credit in Auto shop."
"Robotics."
Agent Fowler didn't buy it. "Okay. Let's move. I'm taking all four of you into federal custody. It's for your own protection."
My tail slammed down in front of the kids. Agent Fowler looked at me. "I'm protecting them." I snarled. "Is that so? Well, maybe you could explain that to my superiors at the Pentagon."
"Don't use that phone. It's. . ." Bulkhead broke it. "Out of order."
"This isn't over, Big Shot, not by a long shot!" He snarled.
I watched him storm off. I sighed.
I was flying around because something felt off. I saw Agent Fowler's Helicopter on the ground. I landed and sniffed it. It was burnt badly and it smelled like it just exploded. I growled.
I then transformed. "Bulkhead come in." I said. What is it, Shatterback? Bulkhead asked. "I think Agent Fowler was taken by the Decepticons. His Helicopter exploded and smells like a Decepticon." I said.
Go find out. Comm me with what you find. He ordered. "Understood."
I transformed and roared. I then flew off.
I managed to sneak up on the Nemesis.
I then saw some troopers pointing at something. I saw Jack, Raf, and Willy. I roared angrily and rammed into them.
