(uhh... I have no idea where this came from)

Barricade was tempted to use one of the movie references that Frenzy had showed him while the little Hacker had been bored on Mars, hacking through into the earth's data stream to watch corny movies. One particular one that he had been traumatised by was something called The Wizard of Oz, something about a pair of red shoes and a psychotic witch, So to sum up his predicament now he used the line as he turned to look down at his Partner. "Frenzy we're not in Kansas anymore."

Naturally the hacker found it hilarious that the shock trooper was using such phrases and was promptly rolling around on his back seats trying not to lose his recently reattached head. They were sitting in an unknown city alleyway watching as an Autobot he had never seen before dowse a burning building in water in full view of the public. Some other similarly branded bots were helping the fleshies escape the building before it finally came down.

Unfortunately for Barricade the alleyway was blocked at the other end, so he couldn't sneak away. "I'm going to get my aft handed to me" he rumbled to himself as he thought out the possibilities, Frenzy has recovered and was currently doing some smaller repairs to himself cursing the boomerang nature of his throwing disks, and the squishy that had mounted his head on display.

Barricade mentally scowled, his alt-form sinking lower on his tyres as he sulked about his predicament. It had gone wrong the minute he had retrieved Frenzy's head from the underground bunker that Agent Simmons had built underneath his mothers Butcher shop, his talon encrusted hand had toppled some artefact or other and it had activated, zapping him and the hacker to this… bizarre city.

He waited until it was dark before slipping out of his shadowed alleyway, his Saleen Mustang form oddly out of place in this city of old looking cars. His detailing on his sides screamed that he was not one of the police cars parked in the precinct just two blocks away. His engine rumbled easily propelling him past cars at impossible speeds. What did he care if a human saw him? Or the small spy that bounced around his interior as he switched on his radio and blasted out some of the tunes that he had compiled into a CD.

Apparently one of the humans recognised his purple insignia that had been etched into the shield on his sides and cried out in surprise when Frenzy made a face at it through the windows. Barricade revved his engine loudly as the yellow car the fleshie was riding in gave off a Cybertronian signal. "Autobot" he snarled flicking on his lights and sirens and sped away, the small car following.

"Frag, Frag, Frag" he snapped at himself as he took a myriad of backstreets trying to lose the yellow bug and the human inside it. Frenzy fished his computer out of Barricade's glove box and hacked into the Autobot's frequency.

"A decepticon just rolled right past me!" came the yellow cars voice from the computers speakers sounding a bit strained "I'm losing him!"

"Optimus and some bots are coming to help 'bee" Came another unfamiliar voice, but he recognised the name.

"Bumblebee" he growled, suddenly braking hard causing the small bug to shoot past him. The smaller car also stopped, letting out the human as he transformed. He was smaller than the Bumblebee he knew, standing only a few heads taller than the human. Barricade smirked to himself, this was going to be fun. His alt form exploded in a maze of parts forming his bipedal mode his four crimson optics blazing with sadistic glee as he flexed his talons and growled at the smaller bot that took a step back in shock at the size of the shock trooper.

With a deep rumble of laughter he unfurled his spiked flail, his enforcer class rifle tucked safely away in his sub-space "Your out of your league little Autobot"

To his credit the smaller bot didn't run merely squared off as the boy ran to watch from a safe place. Not for long, "Frenzy, immobilise the human" he snapped at the hacker as he was ejected from his chest compartment. The smaller bot jerked in surprise at the name as the small spy scuttled away after the fleeing squishy cackling at the top of his voice.

He didn't give the mini-bot time to take off after his friend and swung his flail. Shop fronts and windows smashed as it tore through a section of buildings and power lines before crashing into the yellow mech, flinging him into the opposite street. Barricade stalked forward, his eyes glittering with malice as the small mech didn't get up. "And here I thought you were going to be as good as your counterpart. Obviously I was wrong"

"Frenzy!" he bellowed as he folded back down into his alt mode in a foul mood. The Hacker sprinted out of the side street getting chased by what could only be a metal lion. His door swung closed and the lion slammed straight into the warrior class armour. He gunned his engine disappearing into the shadows of an underpass as more Autobots arrived.

He watched as they retrieved the mini-bot putting him into another mech that transformed into an ambulance. He snarled, through his radio at the spy who was now leaning up against his window staring at the scene "Where the hell are we?"
