Prologue

Cybertron, a long time ago

A little black and white sparkling sat in the lap of a bigger black and white mech watching another practicing the old art of Diffusion. "Looking good Prowler!" the older mech shouted with a smile "Isn't ya father good, huh Jazz." The sparkling chirp and whirled happily. Suddenly the older mech stopped, clutching his chest plate in pain before falling to his hands and knees. "Prowler!" With sparkling in one arm, the mech ran over to the other mech in worry.

"It's a virus, Meister. A very bad one." A medic spoke later on.

"Isn't there something ya can do, Ratch?"

The medic shook his head. "It's very advance." He said "The only way to save his spark is to put it in a new body but there is a slim chance that he won't remember you or your sparkling."

"Do what ya can Ratch, I don't want to lose him."
