Over a day had passed since what Sari and Bulkhead dubbed the incident.

Bulkhead was helping fix the wall that had the courtesy of being hit by Ratchet, he had honestly wanted to check on their new guest but Ratchet wouldn't let any of them into his Medbay until he knew exactly what was going on with Bumblebee.

After all none wanted a repeat of the day before.

Optimus and Prowl had gone to the junkyard Bulkhead and Sari had been at the previous day to check for anything they might have missed.

And Sari, she was impatiently waiting for Ratchet to finish with the minibot.

He'd been in there since yesterday what was taking so long! Was the thought's of the young girl, even the cartoons on the Tv weren't more than an after thought.

The idea of a new autobot friend was just to exciting for the little girl and impatient as ever had decided too come to base, only to find out Ratchet was still in his medbay.

She looked down the hall giving the closed door's a silent glare, as if willing them to open already!

"He's been in there a long time huh"

Sari looked up in suprise, wow, for Bulkhead to actually move and her not having heard him she really was distracted.

"Yeah, why's he taking so long anyway?" Sari looked up at Bulkhead who took a seat next to her on the concrete couch.

"Well, he did try to kill us" Bulkhead scratched the back of his helm, a human habit he had picked up.

"Well yeah he did, but maybe if I used my key again" Sari held up the item that was alway's hanging securely around her neck.

Before Ratchet forced them all out of his medbay the day before, he said the most probable cause of Bumblebee attacking them was his damaged processor and the shock of onlining in unfamiliar territory.

"He also said it could make thing's worse" Bulkhead winced a bit after he said those words, as Sari gave him an annoyed look.

"Who's side are you on!" The little girl half teased, half serious.

Bulkhead just held his servos up in defense, if he had sweat he would be doing that sweatdrop thing.

Soon a loud noise and some cursing from Ratchet made them both look towards the medbay.

"Maybe it's a good thing were not there" Sari giggled.

(Medbay)

Inside said medbay Ratchet was wondering how one bot had this much damage.

While Sari's key had fixed up most of the minibot's cosmetic injuries and some circuitry that kept their parts attached, the same could not be said for the rest of him.

Bumblebee was still in stasis being purposely kept this way as Ratchet wasn't about to repeat the previous day's actions, though he had disengaged the younglings weapons just in case he did somehow find a way to come back online; energon line's had been attached as the level's were low in the mech which was to be expected.

What Ratchet hadn't was the extent of the damage, he first checked where the mechs vocal processor should have been the item had been completely removed not even a fragment of metal was left; but it had not been lost kindly as the wires that would have kept it in place had been completely torn out.

Even if the medbot had been able to get his servos on another vocal processor from Cybertron it wouldn't have done him any good, without those wires there was nothing to connect it too; whoever had done this had wanted to make sure this bot would never speak again.

Moving on the old medic kept discovering old scars that seemed to have permently etched themselves under the scouts armor, the protform had suffered just the same as the last time Ratchet saw so many old wounds was during the great war.

It wasn't odd to find an old battle scar among new one's that had been acquired in battle.

Thank primus the mech's spark was okay, as despite being in stasis it was still functioning normally and didn't show any sign's of weakening; there was little he could do with his limited supplies if that had been damaged.

Finally Ratchet got to the part he was actually worried about, the mechs processor.

Removing the helm the procedure wasn't one he liked performing, he had done this many time's before but the one that had alway's stuck with him was Rcee's procedure; if you could call what he had done a true procedure.

Shaking his helm at the thought he went back to work, carefully scanning the mech's processor warnings began to pop up as one line of code was something he had seen before.

This explained why they had been attacked, but the actual damage seemed to have been caused by something similar to an EMP wave but instead of wiping the processor it seemed to have jumbled things up; the memory core had also suffered as there was no knowing how much of a memory this bot had.

Rubbing a servo to his faceplate he tried to ignore the processor ache that was forming.

In his distraction he didn't notice the small spark of electricity escape from one of the yellow minibot's servos.

It quickly traveled through the wire's attached to his form as if it had a mind of its own, it quickly found its way towards the powerlines as it began to head toward's the city.

(Chicago)

"If this is what the humans of this world call a city, I have yet to be impressed" Barrage said as he looked at the city through a window.

So fragile all those building's could easily fall without him even breaking a sweat, well if he had sweat.

"Their primitive life forms who wouldn't know a tachyon cannon from a simple EMP generator, what did you expect their cities to be like!?" Rave snapped back, her memories were still intact if a bit fuzzy at time's since the last time she was online.

She remembered the cities from vorns before back when Static was online, the cities had been even less impressive.

Seems human's were very slow at developing their technology.

It had taken a solar cycle to walk to this city, not for lack of trying to transform.

Unfortunately Rave's rotors were to mangled to provide flight, Barrage's alt mode didn't get to far either as the mechs tires had all been blown out.

The first thing they did when they got to the human city was find new alt mode's which was relatively easy, the human's couldn't transform themselves so they had a surplus of choices.

Barrage still sported his large bulk and the same paint job, only the large door wings now held the insignia of this cities protective services the letter's CPD on both door's.

Some odd writing had also appeared on the mech's thighs which were unreadable unless in vehicle mode.

Rave herself had scanned another helicopter as her color's also remained the same red and black.

Her overall armor had also stayed somewhat the same, still holding their samurai theme but this new alt mode had given her a few changes.

The rotors from before had sat in the middle of her back, these new one's hung in pairs of two under her shoulder blade's and could even act as weapon's.

At the moment they laid low, until they could find out where the yellow scout was there really wasn't much they could do.

They didn't even know if the war was stilling going on or if there were other cybertronians on earth, all the two con's could do is wait.

The only reason they needed the scout was one, he escaped her no one escaped from her!

Two, he had the weapon that they were suppose to deliver to Shockwave all those stellar cycle's ago and if the autobot's had gotten it then the war was probably over with the autobot's as winner's.

Three, she wanted to offline him herself.

"I hate all this sitting around! I didn't end up in stasis under a lake only to end up hiding from humans in their warehouse!"

Well she could wait Barrage on the other hand.

"Then why don't you get out there and make yourself useful! Instead of complaining!" Rave could be the calmest mech an autobot would have the displeasure of meeting before they suffered a painful offlining, but when it came to her fellow cons she had quite the short fuse.

"Ugh, Drive through this city with nothing but humans around, I rather get into a fight with a Vaxasaurian"

Rave rolled her four eye's not looking away from her arm which she had been repairing, the other mech could be so dramatic it reminded her of Starscream at time's.

"If that's true" Rave spoke calmly before she raised her vocalizer to it's highest setting" YOU WOULD SHUT UP ALREADY!" The femme's arm transforming into a needle in an obvious threat.

She was so sick of this idiot, stellar cycle's of working with him and Static had done nothing to endear them to her.

Barrage grumbled something before moving off going who know's where, just as long as he left her alone she didn't care.

Going back to working on her arm she at least got the circuits she needed to function again, as she tried to transform her injured servo into her default weapon.

With some pain another needle appeared as Rave vented a sigh, at least it was functioning thank primus for Hook's lessons.

Lifting a clawed servo to her helm she tried her comm again, the only line that was active was Barrage's as the other channel's were silent.

Standing up Rave decided to try and find her own information as if she remembered, human's had communication system's which she could hack into.

With that plan in mind she transformed, taking off into the evening sky.

Barrage who had gone into a corner to sulk felt his body loosen up when Rave left, he honestly hated working for the femme but they were stuck on this mudball without any form of communication with the other deceptions; it was either Rave or nothing.

He sort of wished for the alternative.

(...)

A simple city bot walked through the streets of Detroit, a dog walked in front of it as it was attached to it's servo by a leash.

The bot was just a simple helper bot made to help people who couldn't do certain activities because of age or illness, this particular one belonged to an older woman who could no longer care for her beloved pet the same way she used; so the helper bot took over in walking the canine.

The white and grey machine stopped at an intersection, lifting it's free servo to active the countdown on the streetlight so it could cross it; was hit by a sudden jolt when it pressed the button.

The bot looked at his servo but didn't do much else, it's AI was simple and so the bot didn't give its sudden experience a second thought.

As they began to walk down the road the small bot's single optic flashed purple before returning to it's usual orange.

Sorry if its slow I honestly had to get this chapter out of the way for the action to start but as is with alot of writers the slow chapter's take the most time.

To awnser some questions from previous chapter's on the case of what Bee, Rave and Barrage look like, this Bumblebee look's like a cross between Animated Bee and Prime Bee

Barrage appearance wise looks liks a cross between bayverse Barricade and Prime Breakdown

Rave is styled similar to a Japanese samurai for those who can't imagine that just look up Manganese Blade from Accel World if you don't want to look it up then think Prowl's new armor in season 3 crossed with Animated Red Alert's
