TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED HEROES

Human Error for Christmas

It was Christmas Eve in the city of Detroit, and Daniel was showing the Autobots on Optimus Prime's team on how to celebrate the holiday, while the Elite Guard were away to search for some AllSpark fragments. Bumblebee: "I wonder what's inside this present..." Bulkhead: "Maybe we should take a scan." Daniel: "Only if you want to end up on Santa's naughty list, now put it back and help me with the decorations." Sari: "It's too bad that the Elite Guard ain't around to celebrate Christmas with us." Daniel: "Yeah... well I would have been happy to have Jazz, Ironhide and Ultra Magnus around... but Sentinel Prime... not so much." Bumblebee: "Can't blame ya, that Sentinel Prime can be a real jerk." Optimus Prime: "Come on you guys, I know that Sentinel can be hard to get along with sometimes, but he's still a good bot once you get to know him." Daniel: "Maybe, but I wouldn't be too surprised if he's on Santa's naughty list for being a jerk to us and all that." Ratchet: "Well if you ask me, there's no way this Santa Claus could deliver presents to every child in the whole world in one night." Prowl: "He might if there were a dozen of him." Optimus Prime: "That's possible, I did see multiple Santa(s) down the streets." Daniel: "Don't try to explain the magic of the holiday, just accept that it's a time to be thankful for the things we have, like family." he said, before giving them each a can of oil, and drank it all down, while Daniel was drinking some hot chocolate. A few moments later, the Autobots started to feel dizzy, and suddenly had the urge to go to a stasis nap. So they went to their chambers while Daniel went off home to get some sleep, while looking forward for Christmas day. Before they knew it, the Autobots went into sleep mode, completely unaware that a shadowy figure had entered the building, with glowing red eyes looking at them. When morning came, Optimus Prime finally woke up, but was shocked to see that when he looked into the mirror, there was him as a human. Optimus Prime: "By the AllSpark!" that was when he heard screaming from across the hall, and see that the other Autobots were humans too. Bumblebee: "Prime?!, look at you!, you're a human!" Bulkhead: "We're all humans!" Optimus Prime: "There must be a logical explanation for this." a moment later, Ratchet went to do some scanning on themselves. Ratchet: "This is unbelievable, we've become 100% human!" Optimus Prime: "Wait... where's Sari?" that was when they heard a scream, and see that Sari was a human too, but as a little girl with red hair. Sari: "Guys!, you won't believe... who are you?!" Bumblebee: "Sari, it's us!" Sari: "Bumblebee?, what happened?" Bulkhead: "We were gonna ask you that question." Prowl: "Hmm... yes... it's a mystery... I once wondered what it would be like to be human... but never thought it would come true..." Sari: "Me neither..." Optimus Prime: "Perhaps our minds have somehow got implanted in these human forms." Ratchet: "So then... what happened to our Autobot bodies?" Optimus Prime: "Not sure, maybe Professor Sumdac might know... Auto uh men and girl... transform uh... roll, oh let's... let's just go..." so with that, as they are now human and with no set of wheels, they had to travel on foot to Sumdac tower. On the way, they were having a bit of trouble as they were getting cold. Ratchet: "How do humans survive in these soft flesh bodies?" asked the old medic, before hearing a noise coming from Bulkhead's human body. Bulkhead: "I don't know, but my fuel tank is making a funny noise." Sari: "That would be your stomach, which is what Daniel called them." Optimus Prime: "Maybe our human forms need some refueling." said the Autobot leader, before looking at the Burger bot restaurant. Bulkhead: "Alright, I always wanted to chow down the food there." Sari: "Me too." so with that, the Auto men and girl, went inside and Bulkhead was chowing down everything he could get his hands on. Sari: "Wow... who knew human fuel could have a good sense in the mouth." Ratchet: "Hey Prowl, how come your fuel's different from ours?" Prowl: "I chose the vegetable fuel cause it burns cleaner, do you know where the animal flesh comes from?" Bulkhead: "No, but I know where it's going." Bumblebee: "Half of it's going on your cloths." suddenly, Bulkhead got up and started to feel like something was about to come out of him from behind and Sari told him to go into what Daniel called a restroom. Bumblebee: "Hey doc, maybe you should check on Bulkhead to see if he's okay." Ratchet: "Oh no!, I'm not going in there!" Sari: "And don't ask me either as that's the man's restroom, which means I'm not allowed in there as I'm a girl." a few moments later, Bulkhead finally returns, feeling all better. Suddenly, there were people screaming outside, and the group see that the whole city was under attack by Decepticons, including Megatron himself. Bumblebee: "So much for a happy holiday..." that was when they saw Cybertron floating above the city, which really shocked them to the very core. Megatron: "Now that I have taken control of Cybertron, I shall witness the destruction of the planet that held me prisoner for 50 stellar cycles." said the Decepticon leader, before fires his fusion cannon at Sumdac tower, which was now destroyed right before the group's very eyes. Bulkhead: "This can't be happening!" Sari was so enrage to see her human friend's home destroyed, and to the thought of her human friends might have gotten killed in the process, that she flew up and punched Megatron on the face, which also caused his head to disconnect from his body before he and the other Decepticons and Cybertron vanished without a trace, much to everyone's surprise. Ratchet: "What just happened?" Bumblebee: "I don't know about you... but I don't think we're in Detroit anymore..." Bulkhead: "Then where are we?" Prowl: "Our bodies are not here... but our minds are here..." Sari: "In some kind of virtual reality!" meanwhile, outside of the Autobot base, Professor Sumdac and the Witwicky couple and Daniel went inside to check on the Autobots. Daniel: Sari?, Bumblebee, are you in here?" Spike: "There's no one here." Carly: "Wait... what's that?" said Carly, noticing what looked like a large black and red robotic bird flying around the base, before landing on the shoulder of Soundwave, who was not only functional again, but also had the Autobots hooked up into some sort of machine that placed their minds in a virtual reality. Soundwave: "The Autobots have decoded my virtual illusion, I must accelerate their reprogramming." this made the humans quietly gasped in horror to the thought of the Autobots turning into Decepticons. Daniel: "It's Soundwave..." Professor Sumdac: "The toy I made for you?" Daniel: "No... it's a Decepticon that destroyed my toy..." Professor Sumdac: "So then... Megatron based the toy on one of his own followers?... oh if only I knew what Megatron truly was..." Carly: "Never mind that, we gotta stop Soundwave from reprogramming the Autobots." Professor Sumdac: "How?" suddenly, the robotic bird squawked right behind them, alerting Soundwave about the intruders. Soundwave: "Useless organics, your termination comments now, Laserbeak deploy, commence operation sonic attack." said the Decepticon, before the robotic bird, now known as Laserbeak, transforms into a guitar and landed in Soundwave's hands. Carly: "You're planning to terminate us by music?" Soundwave: "I have upgraded my instrument." said Soundwave, before playing Laserbeak that unleashed a sonic shock wave which blew the humans away into the wall. Knowing that they have no chance against the Decepticon, the humans had no choice but to retreat and try looking for help. Once they got back to Sumdac tower, the Professor was trying to think of a way on how to rescue the Autobots. Professor Sumdac: "This is bad!, we need to save the Autobots fast, but I don't know how!" Spike: "And even though Captain Fanzone would want to help, he doesn't stand a chance against a Decepticon." Carly: "Wait a minute, what about the Dinobots?" Spike: "What about them?" Carly: "They're sort of Autobots themselves, and they see Sari as their big sister figure." Spike: "Hey you're right." Professor Sumdac: "Good idea, they'll be more than a good match against Soundwave." Spike: "Now we need to find a way to contact the Dinobots." Professor Sumdac: "I might have something that can help." said the professor, before showing the group what looked like some sort of powered armor suit. Spike: "What's that?" Professor Sumdac: "It's an exosuit, designed to protect a human while traveling in space or other planets like Cybertron for example." Carly: "Can it fly?" Professor Sumdac: "Yes, and Spike, I want you to use it to travel to Dinobot island." Spike: "Got it." so once Spike got into the suit, he flew off to the island and it was not long before he found the Dinobots and told them about the situation. Grimlock: "Dinobots make Decepticon pay for hurting Big Sister!" Spike: "Then let's get going." so with that, the Dinobots were on the lookout for Soundwave. Carly: "I see you got the Dinobots." Spike: "Yeah, I just hope that we can give Soundwave the element of surprise." that was when Soundwave came to the scene, with Laserbeak in guitar mode in his hands. Soundwave: "I am Soundwave, resistance is futile." Daniel: "So much for the element of surprise." that was when the Autobots showed up, with what looked like some sort of mind control helmets on their heads which puts them in Soundwave's control as he plays Laserbeak. Grimlock: "Me Grimlock don't want to hurt Big Sister." Spike: "You don't have to, the real enemy is Soundwave, we need to find a way to free them from Soundwave's control." Swoop: "How?, me Swoop can't think of an idea with that music he's playing." Soundwave: "Music's a powerful weapon, Soundwave superior, Dinobots inferior." Snarl: "Hey who are you calling inferior?!" Swoop: "At least we Dinobots don't look like walking boom box!" Grimlock: "Dinobots attack bad boom box bot!" as they went to battle, Swoop then took Laserbeak from Soundwave, causing the music the Decepticon was playing to stop, and that was when the Autobots were back to normal. Spike: "Guys, get those helmets off ya!" called out Spike, as the Autobots quickly took the helmets off before Soundwave got Laserbeak back. Soundwave: "You will all obey Soundwave." Optimus Prime: "Time to change your tune Soundwave, commence operation face the music!" said the Autobot leader, before using his axe to slice Soundwave into a million pieces. Before they could take Soundwave's tape deck form however, Laserbeak took it and flew away to who knows where. Once the danger was over, the humans and Dinobots went over to the Autobots. Professor Sumdac: "I'm so happy that you're all okay." Sari: "We are now, thanks to you and everyone else here." Grimlock: "Me Grimlock happy to help Big Sister." Sari: "And I'm happy to have a great brother like you too, same with Swoop and Snarl here too." Optimus Prime: "Indeed, and now have a better understanding of being human." Prowl: "Yes, it was actually a rather fun experience." Daniel: "Yeah, I'll bet it was." Carly: "Well this has been a Christmas I'll never forget." Spike: "That's for sure."
