A couple days During the night, Agent Fowler called screaming. "Prime, what are your people doing out here. We had a agreement, no collateral damage." Fowler said. "I'm sorry agent Fowler, every Autobot is here and accounted for" Optimus said. "then tell me why I'm getting reports of two bots fighting." Fowler asked. "I'm not sure" Skywalker said. "Well I just arrived to the scene, take a look." Fowler said. They saw the scene. They saw a blue bot with horns. "Hu, paint job aside that can't be Skyquake, you and bumblebee ponded him to Oblivion." Bulkhead said. "who's is opponent?" Skywalker asked. They got to the other side of the fight on the feed. "By the allspark, it is one of ours" rachet said. "Wheeljack, hey Jackie's back!" Bulkhead yelled. "I don't care if Abraham Lincoln's back, we have to take care of this before we end up on the 11:00 news!" Fowler yelled. "Roll out!" Optimus yelled.

They found the coordinates and quickly ground bridged to the location. Everyone but rachet went. Wheeljack hit a gas station and the opponent got away. "Dreadwing had that set to blow." Wheeljack said. "actually that was your work. It's a gas station where humans fill up there cars with fuel" Skywalker said. They got him to base. "Listen Chief, I'm sorry about the fireworks. It won't happen again" Wheeljack said. "you are very lucky no one was hurt other than your arm" Skywalker said. "Anyways, I thought you were out looking for other bots" bulkhead said. "I did, until I found one. A wrecker" Wheeljack said. "who?" Bulkhead said. "Seaspray" Wheeljack said. "Ha, how is old buffalo butt?" Bulkhead asked. "Not so good bulk. Blown to bits actually" Wheeljack said sadly. "Dreadwing" Optimus said after he took a minute to recover from the loss. Wheeljack nodded.

He explained that he picked up Seaspray's signal and made contact. They met but dreadwing must have intercepted the communication. A proximity bomb, meant to take them both out. Wheeljack was lucky he services thanks to his ship the jackhammer. He said he trailed dreadwing and chased him until he was led back to watch. Optimus knew dreadwing, he was very loyal to Megatron just like his twin brother, Skyquake. "Wait, I didn't think there could be twins on cybertronian, since they aren't born like humans" Skywalker said. "On rare occasions, a spark will spit in two, creating twins" Optimus said. "Wow. Interesting." Skywalker said. Agent Fowler came in and started yelling at Wheeljack about almost blowing there cover.  Then Orion started crying. Sky went and picked up her son who just wanted held. "I see you had that little rascal" Wheeljack said. "Yes Wheeljack. I did." Skywalker said. "Well, congratulations." Wheeljack said.

Wheeljack wanted to get back at dreadwing. Optimus said they needed to to be smart about it and told Wheeljack that he needed to fallow his lead. Wheeljack wasn't having it. Bulkhead asked if he could talk to him. Optimus agreed. Bulkhead went and agent Fowler saw that he had some problems with authority. "Bulkhead and Wheeljack were in the wreckers together that was outside the chain of command." Optimus said. "Black ops" Fowler said suspiciously. "They took missions no one else would and a lot of them didn't come back." Optimus went to the computer. "Optimus, are you alright?" Skywalker asked. "I'm just worried I'll end up doing to dreadwing what I did to his brother." Optimus said. "I hope not. But only time will tell" sky said. Optimus nodded.

A few hours went by. Optimus got worried about bulkhead. They tracked his life signal and saw he went far away from base. They thought Wheeljack would be with him. Skywalker and Optimus went together. Rachet stayed to watch baby Orion. When they arrived they saw rocks that were moving. They lifted them up to reveal Wheeljack. He wasn't paying attention at first. "About time bulk, I thought that being with prime made you..... Soft" he said after he saw Optimus. "If you don't want to listen to me that's one thing, but when you put one of my solders in danger, that's a whole other" Optimus said. "he's right Wheeljack" Skywalker said. "Optimus, bulkheads position has changed. I'm sending you the coordinates now!" Rachet said over the com. "You guys coming?" Wheeljack asked. The jackhammer didn't have much room but it worked. "You and bulkhead have quite the history yet you prefer to work alone" Optimus commented. "The wreckers scattered a long time ago, and alone is usually better off" Wheeljack said. They landed somewhere close to population. It was docks for shipping containers for ships. "we are close to population, remember" Optimus started. "Blasters and fuel pumps don't mix" Wheeljack said. They were all on guard. They spit up for a little bit. Skywalker went with Wheeljack. "Wheeljack, what do you have against my husband?" She asked sternly. "Guys like him talk a good flight, but they don't want to get there hands dirty" he said. "he's not like that" Skywalker said. "Bulkhead was trying to tell me the same thing" Wheeljack said. They got back together and they found bulkhead tied up with a cybertronian device and a cybertronian bomb on him. "Hey guys" he said. Wheeljack decided to try to defuse it. "Have you defused one of these before?" Skywalker asked. He listed some things he did but saw this one was a work of art. There was a timer on the bomb. "Where did Optimus go?" Bulkhead asked. They turned around to see him gone. "I told you, they talk a good game, but when it comes down to it, they don't want to get there hands dirty." Wheeljack said. "Not Optimus!" Bulkhead and Skywalker said together. "I'll cover from the sky. You got this?" Skywalker asked. Wheeljack nodded. Skywalker transformed and found Optimus. Optimus called out to dreadwing to try to have him defuse the bomb.

Skywalker and Optimus both ended up fighting him and pinned him under a huge claw. Bulkhead had gotten free from his restraints and he, Wheeljack, Optimus, and Skywalker stood over dreadwing. "I'll gladly sacrifice myself to avenge my brother" dreadwing said. "and we will gladly join our brother in the allspark." Optimus said. "yeah, you won't break us" Wheeljack said. They just stood there. Dreadwing said fine and deactivated the bomb. Then, dreadwing set off other bombs in the area.

Dreadwing got away. Everyone got back to base. "Sir, it was a honor to see you work. I um, I guess I got the wrong idea about you." Wheeljack said. "Likewise." Optimus said offering him a hand. Wheeljack backed away. "Come on Jackie, if you leave you will end up coming back again" bulkhead said. "Well, I don't want to give up my freedom just yet. I want to maybe explore, see if this rock suits me" Wheeljack said. "no offense to the jackhammer, but you need a earth based vehicle for that" bulkhead said. "Wheeljack, I can help with that. Meet me outside of base in a half hour" Skywalker said. Sky went to the roof and transformed and went to her old farm. She came there from time to time. She found the car she knew Wheeljack would like. She looked around to see if anyone was around. She lifted the car carefully and ran back to base which wasn't far from her old farm. When she got back, Wheeljack was waiting. She set down the car. "What do you think?" Skywalker asked. "Perfect. You know my taste" Wheeljack said. He scanned the car and tried it out. He stayed at base for the night before driving off the next morning to explore.
