Transformers Robots In Disguise: New Generation

Chapter 3

"Welcome to the Cybertron history museum. Do you need a map?" "No thank you." Bumblebee said as he walked past dozens of Cybertronians looking at the exhibits. Then he noticed a door leading to a storage area. He walked inside and his face plate lit up when he saw a spacebridge. "A spacebridge." He looked at the controls. "Are these Earth coordinates?" "Bumblebee. I knew you would understand." Bumblebee froze seeing Optimus Prime himself in the metal console. He looked behind him then back at his former leader. "Optimus? Is it really you? Where are you?" "I need you on Earth, Bumblebee. A new mission. A dire threat." "Me?" "Go there, and we shall speak again." With that, Optimus vanished. "Can't you tell me- -" "Lieutenant?" Bumblebee looked up at Strongarm and Sideswipe. "Please take me to jail. This place is so much worse." Sideswipe whined. "Strongarm, I told you to- -" "With all due respect, sir, regulation 201, section 4: a ride-along shall accompany a senior officer for an entire shift, no exceptions. So..." Bumblebee sighed in defeat. "Okay, I've been following a trail. One that you two apparently can't see. A trail laid out for me by... Optimus Prime." "The Optimus Prime?" Strongarm clarified. "Who is no longer alive?" Sideswipe added point up at the ceiling. "Optimus Prime wants to send us to Earth? I am so, so in!" "No, you're out. It's a mission for me. Alone." Suddenly hearing footsteps, Bumblebee looked to see two security guards. "Ah, guards. I'll keep them busy. Please see if there's a way to disable those stasis fields around the spacebridge." "Tampering with museum property? Sir, you that violates protocol section 116, paragraph- -He's Bumblebee. He must have a good reason, right?" she looked up to see Bumblebee was already gone. She glared at Sideswipe. "You're a punk. You know how to take out security systems, don't you?" "No." Sideswipe said. Strongarm wasn't buying his answer. "Maybe."
