"They're picking us off, one by one."

"We're the pathetic dirty foursome." Hound said. "And you make five." Phoenix said to Optimus. "Autobots, Lockdown is hunting us. And humans are helping, we need to figure out why." Optimus said. "Look, I don't know why, but I know who." Cade, one of the other humans, said.

"They rip out their sparks and later, a truck comes to haul them away." Case explained as the Autobots on the screen were blown up. "That's Leadfoot." Hound said, taking off his hat and putting it to his chest.

"That's terrible." Paxton muttered from Bumblebee's shoulder. "Autobots, I have sworn to never harm humans." Optimus said. "Big mistake." Hound muttered. "But when I find out who's behind this, he's going to die."

"HOO AH!"

Bullet leaned her head on Crosshairs window as they drove down the desert. "Crosshairs?" Bullet asked. "Yes?" He asked. "Where were you before you came to earth?" Crosshairs went silent for a second.

"On... Cybertron."

"I-i thought---" "it was destroyed." Crosshairs finished with a sigh. "Yea." Bullet muttered. "I was there for awhile. I woke up a whole eon after Cybertron was destroyed." Bullet frowned. "But---"

"Autobots. We have arrived. Stay cautious." Optimus warned as they saw the city. "I'll finish later." Crosshairs said. Bullet nodded.

"Where did the others go?"

"To get supplies for us. So we can live." Cade answered while messing with some metal parts. "What's that?" Bullet asked. " Part of an engine I found in the scrap yard. Decided to fix it up in case they need it." He answered. "Cool, can I help?" She asked. Cade shrugged and nodded.

"Hey Drift! C'mere. I wanna talk to you." Bandit said, looking at Drift. Drift nodded and transformed before a man with a blue shirt and brown hair with tips appeared.

"Holy hot tamales." Bandit breathed out. "What is it?" She asked, poking his shoulder. "It's Holoform. Ratchet created it for us to blend in with you humans." Drift said as she lifted his arm.

'Holy shit, the biceps.' She thought. "Cool. I gotta a question." She said, sitting down. "What is it?" Drift asked. "What we're you like during the war? Like what happened?" Bandit asked. Drift thought for a moment.

"It's complicated." He said, sighing. "Please! I wanna know more about Cybertron. About what happened." Bandit pleaded and looked up at him with puppy dogs eyes.

He smiled softly and nodded, making her yell in happiness before leaning closer with excitement. He inhaled before starting.

"During the war, I was a Decepticon."

Bullet's green trench flapped in the wind as she raced down the street of Chicago. Different metals and car parts clanged together in the pockets of her trench coat and she almost dropped the parts in her arm.

She accidentally bumped into someone, causing her to fall and her metal parts fell all over the ground. "Shit!" She cried. "Watch where you're going asshat!" A person with black haired growled. She glared up before a girl with brown hair pushed her back a little.

"Calm down. I'm okay. She was just in a hurry." The girl said. "I'm Paxton." She said, smiling and helping me pick up the parts. "Bullet." Bullet said, frantically picking up the parts. "Cool name. I like it. This is Bandit." Paxton said.

"I gotta go." Bullet said as she heard cops sirens. "You stole those?" Bandit asked, frowning. "Yea. I need them. Badly." Bullet said, stuffing them in her pockets. "Cmon. I know where to hide." Bandit said, grabbing her arms and running down the street. Paxton quickly followed.

Bandit pulled them into an alley way and minutes later, cop cars passed by. Bullet relaxed.

"So, why'd you steal them?" Patron asked. "I gotta get home. I came here in search of my other part of my family, but the Autobots hit and now I have to get back to Texas." Bullet lied. "You're from Texas?" Bandit asked. Bullet nodded.

"So are we!" Paxton exclaimed. Bullet smiled softly. "I'm trying to fix up my car and had to steal these." Bullet explained. "Could we maybe... Come with you? We don't have anything here and it'd be a cool road trip." Paxton said. Bullet smirked.

"Of course."
