Many years just the begining of the cybertronian war, Iacon city was a little peacefull at this time but was at the borderline of destruction.
"Twins, no twins I can't keep you, I just can't" A femme spoke through cries to her three and a half year old twin sparklings.
"Why mom?" Sunstreaker asked.
"Go follow the next bot that passes this alleyway" The femme spoke as she started to walk away.
"No not me, remember follow the next bot" The femme said transforming and driving away, abandoning her sparklings.
"Sunny what do we do?" Sideswipe cried to his golden twin.
"I don't know... Sides..." Sunstreaker cried to his silver twin.
"Ah!" Both Sunstreaker and Sideswipe got bumped by someone.
"I'm sorry!" A red young six month old sparkling with an accent apologized to the twins.
"Whoa are you?" Sunsteaker growled.
"Mirage..." Mirage whimpered an answer.
"Whered you come from?" Sunstreaker asked in a nicer tone.
"I just ranway from a bad place, and lost my big brother" Mirage answered sadly.
"Well I'm Sideswipe and this my brother Sunstreaker, we're the twins, so what happened to your brother?" Sideswipe introduced and managed to get a couple questions in his sentence.
"We were eascaping bad place and they got him so he stuck back there, I'm lost" Mirage explained.
"Sorry..." Sideswipe and Sunstreaker said feeling sympathy for the alone sparkling, at least they had eachother with out thier creators, Mirage had no one.
"It's ok" Mirage sighed.
"Hey you can be our new little brother" Sideswipe Happily suggested.
"Yeah!" Sunstreaker agreed with his chatty twin.
"Ok!" Mirage smiled feeling a lot happier, but not forgetting about his brother.
"So what are you two doing out here?"
"Our creators got rid of us, so we have to follow who ever goes past here next" Sunstreaker explained to his newly adopted brother.
"Slag Ratchet no I didn't!, ok maybe just a little, hey my leaking of energon isn't as bad as what that decepticon was leaking, yeah yeah yeah I'm going on I'm in the north Iacon street" Ironhide walking, spoke to one of his most trusted old friend over the commlink as he passed by the alleyway the twins and Mirage were huddled together in.
"We follow him, member what mom said?" Sunstreaker said to his younger twin.
"Yeah... but he looks big and mean...I'm in" Sideswipe cheered up a bit remembering that he and his twin took all the risks they could.
"I'm in too" Mirage announced huddling close to his new adopted brothers.
"Whoa!" Both Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, and Mirage stopped before taking a step out of the alley a white and red vehichle pulled up transforming into an old medic.
"I can't believe you couldn't wait for back up" Ratchet hissed to the black mech.
"Reall?" Ironhide asked as Ratchet patched up slash wounds to his shoulder.
"Oh shut up, I'm done, now lets leave before we attract cons" Ratchet growled starting to walk down the street with the weapon specialist.
"pah bring it on" Ironhide laughed taunting with his cannons.
"You can't beat everything you know" Ratchet rolled his optics at his cannon totting friend.
"Haven't met something I couldn't handle" Ironhide quoted his friend.
"Hey you got that from me" Ratchet chuckled.
"Yeah well I get to use it to because it's true for the both of us" Ironhide laughed with the old medic.
"Ok come on faster!" Sunstreaker smiled as he Mirage and his twin moved thier tiny legs as fast as they could to catch up with the old mechs, with Mirage tripping a few times.
"Oof!, too fast..." Sunstreaker whined as he and his twin ran into the foot of the mech.
"What the slag was that?!, Sparklings?" Ironhide growled, quickly changing his expresion as he looked down at the three sparklings
"Twin sparklings?, and what the slag are you two... three doing out here alone, where are your creators?" Ratchet turned to what Ironhide was growling at to see the twins.
"They left us" Sunstreaker spoke to Ratchet.
"Left you?" Ironhide questioned.
"Yeah they told us to go away" Sideswipe whimpered.
"I don't know..." Mirage answered.
"Hmmm more orphans to add to the base" Ratchet muttered to himself.
"What?" Ironhide asked as Ratchet picked all three of the sparklings up handing one of them to Ironhide.
"We need to return to base" Ratchet said to Ironhide as he started to walk away.
Base
"Three more?, Prowl just found this one, what is going on?" Optimus asked Ratchet, Ironhide, and Prowl, staring at the three three and a half year old sparklings, and one six month old sparkling on the medical berth.
"Hi I'm Sideswipe..."
"He's my dumb non stop talking twin" Sunstreaker rolled his optics introducing his twin to the grey sparkling.
"Hey!" Sideswipe growled pouting and folding his arms.
"Cool I'm Jazz, who'r you?" Jazz asked happily.
"I'm Sunstreaker..."
"He's my cranky twin with a short fuse" Sideswipe finished Sunstreakers sentence.
"...And this is Mirage our new adopted little brother" Sunstreaker ignored his twins stupid comment introducing the shy tiny red bot.
"Cool that's awesome" Jazz said smiling at the three.
"Hey you can be our new brother too!" Sideswipe happily cheered.
"Ok sweet!" Jazz smiled clapping his tiny servos.
"I don't know but I'm going to have to assign bots to raise these sparklings, I'm to young to watch them and to busy in the archives" Optimus said to the three mechs.
"Absalutely Optimus" Prowl, Ironhide, and Ratchet agreed.
"Ratchet Ironhide you will take the twins, and Prowl you will take the little silver one, the younger red one can go with Hound" Optimus assigned getting shocked looks from the three.
"Optimus are you Crazy!" All three shouted at the youngling almost young adult prime.
