I don't own Transformers…at all…I don't even own Warpath (sniff). Hello internet, if you are reading this then you must of stumbled upon my first ever posted Transformers story. I liked the Transformers Prime TV series, but I always saw the Beast Hunters season as too short. I feel that they shortened it by killing off "Project Predacon", which was when the Decepticons discovered that Predaking may overthrow his creators if he gained a squadron of his kind. But what if Predaking had no dangerous ambition, there could be the possibility that more Predacons would've been cloned to fight the Autobots. That's what this story is about…oh, and we're also gonna throw a new character into the mix…like, right now. Enjoy Chapter 1!

"Is it really that good" one of the Vehicons asked. All of the Vehicons were gathered around one of their own, who had a brand new weapon.

"You bet, this powerful Scatter Blaster shotgun is fresh from the lab. Better accuracy, range, and power" the Vehicon boasted, holding the long barreled weapon (it looks more like the scatter blaster from WFC rather than the one from FOC or ROTDS).

"Does it have a faster reload?"

"Yes"

"Can it hold more ammo?"

"You betcha"

"Can it easily kill an Autobot?" This question caused the Vehicon holding the blaster to chuckle.

"If an Autobot were in this mine right now…he'd be dead" the Vehicon said.

"Let's test that theory" Suddenly a hand came out of nowhere, grabbed the con's head, and crushed it. All the Vehicons ran over to one side, aiming their weapons at the intruder. Their surprise guest was covered in red plating, he was bulky and his shoulders looked like they had tank treads. He also had treads on his legs, which were red and dark gray. His arms were red and looked powerful, and he had blue eyes and he had a red plate covering his mouth. And to top it off, he had a silver tank cannon coming out of his chest/stomach. But what first caught the Vehicons' eyes was the silver Autobot symbol on his right upper chest plate.

"An Autobot" one of the Vehicons shouted, pointing out the obvious.

"Where I don't see one" the Autobot said, disappearing from the cons' optics.

"What! Where'd he go?" The Vehicons were panicking as they lost sight of the Autobot. They all walked up to where the Autobot previously stood.

"He can't just leave without a trace" one of Vehicons said.

"Wait what's this?" One of the Vehicons picked up a round cylinder object that had green lights.

"An explosive, Ka-Blam!" the Autobot shouted as he uncloaked and pushed a button on a held trigger. The explosive went off and wiped out the group of soldiers. Fortunately for the Autobot, the explosion was only small enough to take out the cons and not the cavern. Out of the rubble, one item still stayed intact. The shotgun.

'At least it's durable' the Autobot thought before picking up the firearm.

'Well a wrecker must be able to use whatever he has to his advantage. And it is so easy when a wrecker has a sweet instrument of destruction' the Autobot thought to himself, pleased with his newly acquired gun.

-Hanger E or F (can't remember which one they used)-

"This can't be correct" Ultra Magnus said to himself. The computer in the Autobots' new base had been linked to the scanners on Ultra Magnus' ship, and now the computer is displaying something unexpected.

"What is the matter, Ultra Magnus" Optimus asked, seeing his old friend and Lieutenant looking uneasy.

"Optimus sir, my scanners have picked up another Autobot signature. But unless I am mistaken, all units are accounted for in this base" Ultra Magnus explained. This made Optimus curious, but uneasy.

"This could very well be a Decepticon trap. No other Autobots were on earth" Optimus said.

"What if another Autobot just arrived" The two robot-trucks turned towards the new voice, which happened to be Smokescreen.

"Soldier it is very disrespectful and inappropriate to not only disrupt a conversation between Autobot superiors, but to also eavesdrop" Ultra Magnus said.

"Sorry, sirs, but isn't there still the possibility this could be an actual Autobot. You only stumbled upon my arrival when surfing the internet" Smokescreen pointed out.

"Smokescreen makes a valid point. With our team being vastly outnumbered by the Decepticon army, this Autobot signal merits investigation, no matter the risks. But to be safe, I will take the wreckers with me to the signature's coordinates" Optimus said.

-Back at the mine-

"Keep firing" the Vehicon ordered. The Vehicons outside the mine were currently in a firefight with an unknown Autobot. Although they had him cornered inside the mine, they couldn't see him.

"But sir, we can't see him" One of the Vehicon soldiers pointed out.

"Even though we can't see him, he could still be there" the Vehicon said.

"Except I ain't there, I'm here you dirty cons" the Autobot said as he came out of cloaking and grabbed two Vehicons' heads, bashing them together.

"Ka-BLAM!" the Autobot shouted in victory. But he immediately turned around and aimed his newly acquired shotgun at the space bridge that just showed up behind him. Out of the green portal came a red and blue Cybertronian, slightly muscular and only a bit taller than the Autobot. The blue and red one looked slightly familiar to the Autobot, but the two bots accompanying him he definitely recognized .

"Bulkhead? Wheeljack?" the Autobot asked, lowering his weapon. His mouth plate shifted out of existence and revealed a mouth.

"Is that…Warpath?" Wheeljack asked.

"Warpath!" the green Wrecker came up to Warpath and gave him a giant hug, lifting him up and squeezing hard. Warpath could only laugh as Bulkhead attempted to lift him high up, but Warpath was still a bit taller than Bulkhead.

"Alright Bulk, can you put me down…BULKHEAD!" Bulkhead quickly let Warpath go as he realized he was hugging Warpath for an awkward amount of time. Wheeljack came up to Warpath next.

"I didn't think you would make it this long, or to this planet" Wheeljack said, holding his fist up.

"The only time a wrecker hits the scrapheap, is when he dies in fight" Warpath said before giving Wheeljack a fist-bump before they gave each other a chest-bump and yelled "HOO-HAH". Then the red and blue bot came up to Warpath.

"It is good to see you again, old friend" he said. Warpath definitely recognized his voice.

"Of all things that are good and blown-up, Optimus!" Warpath said, surprised to see his old friend so…different.

"Yes Warpath it is me. And it would seem that we have a lot of catching up to do" Optimus said.

-Back at the Base-

"Ratchet, open the ground bridge" Optimus ordered the medic. Ratchet did as he was asked and activated their bridge. Out of it came Optimus, Bulkhead, and Wheeljack. Ratchet was happy to see that his fellow Autobots have come home un-damaged, but then he saw a red bot behind them that he hasn't seen before…yet, something was strangely familiar about him.

"Optimus, who is this?" Ratchet asked.

"You already forgot about me Ratchy…I'm hurt, but not in the way that you can fix" Warpath joked.

"By the Allspark, Warpath" Ratchet said, surprised.

"That's right Doc, the path is back, KA-BLAM" Warpath shouted, alerting the rest of the Autobots and the human children to the newcomer.

"Take it easy Warpath. Perhaps we should have Ratchet give you a medical examination to see if you are damaged" Optimus suggested.

"Don't worry Optimus, I am perfectly fine" Warpath said. But then, Warpath suddenly fell on to floor face-first.

"I'm still okay, my leg servos are just taking a temporary timeout" Warpath laughed into the floor.

"Very funny, Bulkhead help me get him upright" Ratchet said.

-Later-

While Warpath was being fixed up by Ratchet, the Autobots were all gathered together and talking.

"So can you tell us about this new guy" Miko asked, curious and excited about Warpath.

"Oh you're gonna love Warpath. He is one of the best Wreckers around" Bulkhead said, happily.

"With another one of our brothers joining us, the cons are gonna wished they never signed up for a war" Wheeljack said.

"Do I have to remind you that Wrecker style is not a battle plan that should be employed . But I too have to admit, out of all the Autobots the signal could've belonged to, it came from a powerful soldier" Ultra Magnus said.

"Exactly how powerful is this guy" Raph asked.

"To be exact, he once took down Megatron, singlehandedly" Optimus said. Everyone turned to Optimus, surprised.

"You're saying that Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons, was defeated by one Autobot" Jack restated the shocking statement.

"That is correct Jack, I am only puzzled as to why he is here on Earth" Optimus said.

"I might be able to answer that" Everyone turned to Warpath, who, was on his legs standing.

"You see, after the Wreckers were scattered, I was reassigned to hunting down Decepticon squadrons sent to other worlds. So I took off in a pod and headed for earth" Warpath explained.

"But pods are only good for one way" Smokescreen said.

"What if there were no Decepticons on Earth" Arcee asked.

"Then I would simply wait for a ride back home. I couldn't risk taking a ship there because what if someone ka-stole it from me. I couldn't take that chance. And if I found a Decepticon ship trying to get away, then I would simply follow Wrecker plan # 19-"

"Climb aboard and crash?" Miko asked.

"Exactly…how does this human know of Wrecker protocol?"

"Miko here is our first member of the Wreckers to be a non-Cybertronian" Bulkhead explained.

"And this kid can wreck with the best of them. Even took out Hardshell" Wheeljack added.

"That's KA-AWESOME!" Warpath shouted, a smile on his face.

"Warpath, could you please continue with your story" Optimus asked.

"Of course Prime, anyways, so I was just entering Earth's atmosphere…but then I was hit. Shot down by an unseen-enemy, probably using a ship, and my pod hit the ground. I was in status until my pod opened up and brought me back online, and I scrapped everyone in that mine. Then you showed up" Warpath explained.

"You said you were re-assigned after the Wrecker's break-up. Are you saying that you've been offline and on Earth for years?" Bulkhead asked.

"That's ka-rect (correct). So…what did I miss?" Warpath asked.

"Warpath, I would suggest you come with me as I give you a tour of the base while bringing you back up to speed. Old friend, you have missed a lot" Optimus said.

If you haven't figured out by now, my favorite Transformer character is Warpath. I'll probably be throwing some other characters into the story too. But I'm not gonna continue working on this story until I get some feedback. Please review to let me know how I did, if I should continue writing this story, if I shouldn't, what could be changed or added, that kind of stuff. It would be really appreciated! –Warpath361
