Transformers: Power Armor

Episode 1

"Optimus! Things are getting really heated on the front line!" Ironhide commed in, "Prowlers got hit real bad. Have Ratchet prepare another sickbay!"

"Did you get that, Ratchet?" The commanding leader turned to the old medic.

"Of course I got that, but I haven't gotten any bays left. It sounds like Ironhide is the only one out there!" The medic was right, Bumblebee, Jazz, and LightSeeker were all waiting to be patched up so they could re-enter the battle with the Decepticons. The Autobots human allies were also taking a beating.

"Optimus, we can't take this for much longer," Human ally commander Jason Flannigan interjected, "We need more firepower out there, and fast!" he continued.

"It seems we need to awaken her," Optimus Prime announced.

"What!?" LightSeeker exclaimed. "Prime, sir, that's just going to let another Decepticon loose in our base!"

"I also object," a hobbling Prowl entered the main base. "Even if she did perform for us, it would just end up being another body on the battlefield."

"We just need a diversion while Ratchet fixes the rest of you up," Optimus explained. "Another body on the battlefield is not a problem as long as it's another dead Decepticon."

Prowl accepted this logic, but LightSeeker continued to push.

"Sir, she'll just harm us more, she's evil! She found the Power Armor where I couldn-"

"LightSeeker, this is no time for bringing up your failures. We are going to all die if we don't create some sort of distraction."

"I...I'm sorry, you're right."

"Decepticons! We've nearly broken their defenses! Push through!" Megatron declared.

"Affirmative," Soundwave said and began to eject his micro-cons, Laserbeak, Ravage, Rumble, and Frenzy.

"Seekers! Attack!" Starscream ordered Thundercracker and Skywarp, as the three performed their aerial assault.

Astrotrain plowed in for the ground assault, alongside the Decepticon's human allies.

"We've got them now!" Human Captain, Trace Mathews, exclaimed charging his army alongside the Decepticons.

The Decepticons adorned what seemed to be handcrafted armor, capes, and weapon accessories. They were winning and were pushing for the final charge into the main base.

"NightSight," Optimus said.

"Hm...?" The femme being held in stasis within the ship's brig lazily opened her optics, then shut them once more, mumbling to herself.

"NIGHTSIGHT!" The Prime shouted finally, slightly shaking the winged femme.

"Wha- What!?" NightSight jumped awake by the leader of the Autobots and attempted to pull her weapons from subspace.

"Your weapons have been confiscated. You will do as we say, from this point on." The Prime commanded her.

"Or else what?" The femmes speech was slightly slurred from a slightly prolonged recharge.

"Or else we will terminate you."

Just then, an explosion was heard from somewhere within the base.

"Optimus! The Decepticons are here!" Ratchet shouted.

"Come with me. Now."

Optimus and NightSight ran towards the action, and NightSight was attempting to shove her joy down her throat when she saw the Decepticons standing tall and proud over the damaged Autobots.

"NightSight lives, Lord Megatron!" Astrotrain exclaimed.

"I can see with my own optics," The Decepticon leader sighed.

"NightSight has betrayed you, Megatron! SHE has given us the formula for the Power Gear!"

Skywarp and Astrotrain gasped.

The young femme furiously started shaking her head. "I did no-" The Prime elbowed the femme.

"Traitor!" Megatron roared, stomping over to the femme and grabbing her by the throat and easily lifting her off the ground.

"But I-!"

The Decepticon leader winked at the femme.

"Uh-uh! Yes! I am a horrible traitor! You should- uh, kill me! Yes!" The femme began speaking in dramatics.

"We won't just kill you, we shall torture you back at base and rip you apart limb from limb!"

Megatron looked back at the Decepticons, silently ordering them to leave. They all left the base, chanting about torture.

"We shall come back, Optimus Prime, so be prepared. We will destroy all of you!" The Decepticon laughed villainously while the femme struggled in his grip, reaching out to the Autobots for help. The Autobots watched them leave in silence.

"Optimus, that was almost evil," Prowl was astonished. "Even for me!"

"Yeah man, that was like, almost not cool," Jazz confirmed.

"THEY'RE GONNA TEAR HER APART! YES!!!" LightSeeker exclaimed.

All the Autobots stared at the small femme in disbelief. She laughed awkwardly and scooted off to another room.

"Well, it doesn't matter. They're gone now," Ratchet said, "And we have more important things to worry about than a Decepticon. Bumblebee still hasn't awoken yet."

The Decepticon base was full of excitement and celebration. The soldiers were drinking and laughing over their victory over the Autobots.

"So, when are we gonna kill her?" Skywarp asked, pointing at NightSight standing in the corner.

The more intelligent Decepticons groaned.

"What? Isn't she a traitor!?"

Megatron rolled his optics then walked to the femme and squeezed her shoulder-plates. "Welcome home, NightSight."

"I don't understand my liege," she replied, "I'm no traitor, but I still should be terminated.

I failed you and our cause. I failed to give you the formulas for the Power Armor AND got caught by the Autobots. Please, my liege, destroy me, I'm nothing but a failure."

Megatron looked to his Decepticons and they all began to laugh. NightSight tilted her head, confused.

"The femme thinks she failed!" Starscream laughed, his additional armor plates glittering. Megatron's cape shone brightly. NightSight's optics widened.

"You-You all have the Power Armor! But, but how?"

"Children, who is this new- Oh well dear me, I have a Granddaughter now!" an old woman entered the room, giddy as could be.
