Thermonuclear

While working with the Decepticons to manufacture a new type of weapon, Sidney steals the plans to sell across the world. But she learns no one can deceive Decepticons.

------------------------------

Sidney watched with interest alongside her colleagues, human and Transformer, as the bomb detonated. At their distance, protected by thick concrete and shielding, they watched in awe as the ripples of both sound waves up above and everything in front of them was obliterated with only dust and smoke visible where fake structures had been. It sent a pulse of energy that went over a land radius of 100 miles and reached nearly 50 miles high, confirmed by satellite, radar, and visuals from the Decepticons up high, that drained all life from anything it reached below an altitude of 20,000 ft.

It was so fast and brutal, everyone was in shock. The new weapon, dubbed the Nuclear Nightmare V-900-EN, was the first ever thermonuclear bomb built with cybernetic elements, one atom of each form of Energon from several worlds combined with hydrogen and many other Earth elements. No bomb up to now had such a horrific and devastating power as Nightmare.

"Test was a complete success. We now have the most powerful bomb in the world," her boss, Marceau, said. "And people thought we could never come close to creating the firepower of America."

"But that's thanks to us," a voice replied. Sidney and the other members of her team peered back to see Clobber, Strika, and Lugnut walking up to the balcony their controls sat on.

Strika's face mask shifted as she said, "Don't fool yourselves into thinking it was your idea now. As long as you heed Megatron's command, the weapon is yours. Blow yourselves up for all I care, just remember our deal. We give you the formula for the weapon, and you give us access to France's rich minerals in return."

Marceau nodded, "You have our word."

Sidney wanted to scoff. Maybe her boss promised, but she held no oath to the bloodsuckers. A weapon of that magnitude would be worth a fortune. To hell what any country did with it. She would laugh in the end.

Clobber smirked, "Good. We always treat those who comply the best. Ain't that right, Lugnut?"

Lugnut was silent but he peered around the control center at all the humans. He even looked at Sidney for a brief second before his multiple eyes pinpointed the others. It unnerved her how the nine optics, four on each side and one large one in the middle, seemed to move individually like spider eyes. The slit pink pupils on the red optics fluctuated in size depending on what each optic was focused on.

Despite his head pointing a different direction, one of his optics on the side abruptly snapped back to gaze at her, the pupil contracting when making eye contact. She held no fear as it remained locked on her. When she looked away, she did her best to type the data for the test log but in the corner of eye, Lugnut was keeping that one optic tracking her as if he could sense her emotions and thoughts. Sindey had to wonder if he knew. It took a minute for him to finally look away before addressing Strika.

"I think it would be in Lord Megatron's best interest if we report to him the bomb was a success," he said.

Strika replied, "Of course."

Marceau looked between the two bots and asked, "Do you think you could relay to Lord Megatron that I might have an idea for a weapon with the Energon provided but a much more 'grounded' arsenal, so to speak. I would love to hear his opinion on it."

The purple femme gave a gesture of appreciation, "Will do, buddy."

Lugnut and Strika were less than thrilled but didn't speak their minds while Clobber was openly excited, mostly because of the weapon process itself than teaming with humans as was expected of Decepticons.
