"Apollo, are you sure this is the right way?" A little girl in black and yellow asked the tall Prince of Cyberica before her and her team of boys. Apollo Titan nodded.

"The relic is surely to be around here. If we find it before the Nanobots, we could be one step closer to finding our ancestors." He looked at the small scanner in his hands. "And I have yet to have a problem with the scanner." He smiled at her. The girl didn't return it and he frowned. "Is something troubling you, my student?" She sighed.

"I just don't like the look of this forest. Has like a Nanobot-like vibe to it. I hate it." She crossed her shivering arms. "Plus, it's cold as frag out here." Apollo looked away for a second, then took off his red and blue jacket. The girl was surprised. "Apollo-"

"Save it, Bumblebee." He smiled at her. "You needed it more than I did." Bumblebee - the girl - smiled back and snuggled into the warm garment. Hornet Jameston went up a nearby tree and screamed. 

"APOLLO INCOMING NANOBOTS!! I REPEAT, INCOMING-" Hornet was interrupted by the tendril in his chest, shining and shimmering with purple energonblood. The other scouts - especially Bumblebee - were horrified at the sight. Apollo pulled up his mask and got out his blade with a growl. 

"Soundclaw." The Nanobot's tendril ripped back out of Hornet's chest. He had a black, emotionless visor, a purple tank top, and a black crow on his shoulder. Bumblebee took off Apollo's jacket as she and her remaining teammates transformed into Wheel Armor - a yellow and black mechanical shell that enveloped the scouts and gave them wheels and weapons. Bumblebee looked at her leader. Apollo turned to her.

"Bumblebee, you and the remaining Scouts are to find that relic no matter the cost! I will catch up with you shortly!" He ordered, Bumblebee nodded.

"SCOUTS, LET'S BUZZ OFF!!" She ordered, and her team zoomed off. Wasp Benson yelped as Soundclaw's tendril burst through his tank stomach. Yellow Jacket Martyr growled.

"Bumblebee, he's on our tail!"

"Blast him!" Yellow Jacket nodded and fired at will on Soundclaw. After getting hit a couple of times, Soundclaw sent his crow Scout out.

"Scout, deploy. Operation: Immobilization." He ordered. Scout cawed and chased the Scouts with his stuns. Bumblebee could see it.

The Phase Shifter. The same weapon used by Smokescreen, one of the patrons of the Racer Sparklet.

As Bumblebee reached for it, she felt the explosion. 

And her head hit the ground as she saw Yellow Jacket get killed. 

She was the last Scout.
