Team Prime's Lovable Blue Idiot

Chapter 3: Scrapheap

  It's been a weeks since Caboose joined the Autobots, and Arcee shows him around the base so he could understand his surroundings better, also showing him where his berth room is. Even though Caboose is completely oblivious. When Arcee finish showing Caboose around she asked 'Do you understand that?' Caboose simply replied 'Neat'.

Also he is informed that Optimus and Bumblebee defeated Skyquake a few days ago.

And today, it's Caboose first mission.

     In the main ops center, Ratchet inputted a set of coordinates in the groundbridge controls before he pulled down the lever. The rings of the tunnel lite up as a bright, swirling greenish-blue portal opened at the end. Optimus, Caboose and Arcee, and three  of them stepped forward to the groundbridge.

"Arcee, Caboose and I will search for any clue that may explain the origin of our arctic find." Optimus explained.

"Only until your sensors sound," continued Ratchet as he typed commands on a device. When he finished, he turned to Optimus, Caboose and Arcee. "Remember, once your core temperature drops into the blue zone..." He paused as he pressed a button, causing the Autobot symbols on Optimus's arms,  Caboose's chest and on Arcee's winglets to bleep and blink blue. "...system failures are likely, and imminent."

"This will be exciting! I cannot wait to go to my first snow day here!" Caboose said happily while Ratchet and Arcee looks deadpans at his response while Optimus chuckles at his response.

"Caboose, You're not-" before Arcee could finish, Caboose buts in.

"I'll go get our snow clothes!" He sprints off to his berth room.

There was awkward silence until Ratchet broke it "...he's not serious with snow clothes is he...?"

"...I...I don't know..." Arcee admitted.

All of a sudden, the sounds of engines could be heard down the main tunnel, growing louder by the second. Finally, Bulkhead and Bumblebee in vehicular mode drone into the command center.

When Bulk and 'Bee came to a halt, Miko exited from Bulkhead's SUV mode while Raf stepped out of Bumblebee's muscle car form. As soon as Miko and Raf stepped out, Bulk and 'Bee shifted back to their bipedal form.

"Did you miss us, doc-bot?" Miko joked with a smirk.

Ratchet groaned in response. "Shouldn't you be in school?"

"On a Saturday?" Miko said " we have the whole weekend to spend with you."

"I wasn't expecting a car pool. What gives, Arcee?" Jack asked his partner.

"Tag team, Jack," Arcee responded as she stepped forward, putting her servos on her hips. "It's my turn for exploration duty."

"Eh, too bad." Jack shrugged. "It's a beautiful day outside for drive. Wouldn't want you to feel guilty for leaving me indoors," Jack said.

"Arctic exploration duty," clarified Arcee.

"Indoors where it's warm" Jack said, pointing to the human area.

"Arctic? I've always I've always wanted to see snow." Raf said.

"I would invite you to join, Rafael, but the conditions is to extreme, even for us Autobots." Optimus said.

"I...understand." He smiled in understanding.

"But, I will being you back a snowball" Optimus said.

"That would be awesome!" Raf exclaimed and he notices something missing "...Hey, where's Caboose?" Raf asked.

Arcee sighed "he said, something about getting his 'snow clothes' for his first day of snow day."
