the Sorrows of Sacrifice

Flesh and bone, that's all they are. No really, here they don't exist. MECH caught wind of this and engaged in a fourteen month long battle with them. The autobots were triumphant but not without a great sacrifice. Their youngest member bumblebee sacrificed himself to set off a EMP that gave the autobots the upper hand.

After the autobots took down mech they searched everywhere for their friend, but he was nowhere to be found.
It's been a while now and team prime thinks they're final out of the blast zone but they are deeply wrong. When another organization going by the name FLARE. Everything is looking ok, the people are nice, the rooms are lavish, but optimus can't shake the image of a certain young resident going by the assigned name B-127.
