Autobots Nightbeat and Deep Cover are reluctantly paired together to track down the source of an outbreak that kills Cybertronian lifeforms and then reanimates their dead bodies. Several Cybertronian outposts throughout the galaxy have been decimated by the outbreak. One Cybertonian holds the answers to salvation... but she is already dead. Trapped in a quarantine zone with time for a cure ticking away, Nightbeat and Deep Cover have to learn to work together to save a band of survivors, find the parties responsible for the outbreak and then evacuate the fallen city with a cure before they themselves join the ranks of... the infected.

This is my own fan-fiction story about my all-time favorite Transformers character, Bluestreak. Not much has been explored in his origins but with the information I've gathered from novels, comics and the original animated series, I have written my own history for him. What events in his life could have caused him to be a talkative master of dad-jokes one minute and then a vicious, angry warrior the next? As a big fan, these were questions I often considered. Now, I shall offer up my own interpretation. I'd love to know what you folks think. Disclaimer: I do not own or work for any parties who currently or previously have owned the rights to the Transformers, their characters, names or likenesses. I only reserve the rights to my original plot and characters as listed on the very first page of my story.

Tap-Out is one of the most devoted Autobots to the cause. Just how many centuries he spent as a Decepticon prisoner in the gladiatorial arenas of Polyhex is uncertain, but his faithful allegiance to the Autobot ideals remained unbroken. This story will show my interpretation of what he must have endured in his time there and immediately after being freed from gladiatorial life. How can one Cybertronian survive and not become a monster in such an environment? How can he trust those he feels abandoned him for so long? The cost of war is high. The cost of freedom is priceless.
