Notes:

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. I know I should be working on my other stories, A Drunken Mistake and Starscream and the Sparkling, but I have a bit of writer's block on those. And a sudden bout of inspiration hit me. I had to get this up so I wouldn't lose the idea.

I was watching the movie, Clue, last night, and this idea just hit me. It's funny what a crazy, random, Transformers-obsessed mind can come up with. I love Clue. It's hilarious. If you haven't seen it, go watch it now. You might not understand where this came from if you have never seen the movie. And it's just an awesome movie.

I have some made up characters in here, but that's because I don't want to kill off very many actual Transformers characters. Also, it isn't just like the movie, but that is because it's Transformers and I can't really accomplish that. So, I hope you enjoy! Please, please, please review! I need reviews to stay alive. Just don't give me any hate.

This is set just a little bit after the war got started. So, they are still on Cybertron. It works better for the plot I'm using. Just an FYI in case you get confused.

Transformers and Clue do not belong to me. I am just using them and their characters.

Narration

Clue: Transformers Style!

It was a dark and stormy night on Cybertron. A mysterious red stranger walked up to an old creepy manor on a hill. The manor was located a couple miles away from Iacon. Two cyberwolves were chained up to the wall of the house. As the stranger walked up to the door of the manor, the wolves started growling and jumping at him. He pulled out a bag and tossed some solid cubes of energon into the corner. The wolves ran over, and he tightened the chains on them.

The red stranger stepped inside. He then went throughout the house, making sure everything was set for the party that was going to take place there.

"Is everything all set for the party?" the stranger asked a beautiful femme that was cleaning the datapads in the study.

"Yes, Sideswipe," the femme replied in her accent that she had. If you were to compare it to an accent on Earth, it would probably be French.

"Very good. Thank you Starlight," the stranger now known as Sideswipe said. Then he left. He headed into the energon storage room of the manor, where a large femme was working. She was right now sharpening a knife that would be used for preparing the specially made and flavored energon the guests would be served.

"Is the food almost ready, Toilsharp?" Sideswipe asked.

The femme turned around, and the knife was aimed right at Sideswipe. Sideswipe stepped back a bit so as not to get stabbed. "Yes. Now go away," Toilsharp replied.

"Okay. Thank you."

Then the doorbell rang. The first guest had arrived. Sideswipe strolled up to the door and opened it. "Hello Colonel Shot. I'm glad you could join us today," he said.

"My name ain't Colonel Shot! I'm Ironhide!" the first guest said.

"I know that. We're using pseudonyms to keep it anonymous," Sideswipe answered.

"What?"

"We're using fake names so no one knows each other."

"Oh. That makes more sense."

"Yeah. It does. I thought that since I was here I should talk all fancy."

"Well, don't. It's confusing."

"I can do that."

Meanwhile, on the road, a pretty femme was standing off to the side. She didn't want to travel alone, so she waited for a passerby to get their attention. When a red, blue, and white person drove by, she posed to get their attention. The person skidded to a halt and transformed into his base mode.

"Hello, pretty lady. What are you doing alone on the road this late at night?" the stranger asked.

"I was going to a party, but I don't like traveling alone. Will you go with me?" the femme replied.

"Of course I will. I could never resist such a pretty femme as you. My designation is Smokescreen. And what would yours be?" the stranger asked.

"Oh. My name is Arcee," the femme answered.

"Lovely designation. Where are you headed?"

"Um… let's see." She pulled out a datapad from her subspace and looked at it. "It's the old manor just outside of Iacon, on the hill."

"Really? That's where I'm headed. Come on then. Let's go." Then the two drove off towards the manor.

When Arcee and Smokescreen arrived, Sideswipe opened the door for them. "Miss Rose, Professor Point, I didn't realize you two were acquainted," he said.

"Well, actually we just met. And what's with the stupid names? Who comes up with this stuff anyways?" Smokescreen said.

"Well, Professor Point, we are using pseudonyms to keep it anonymous."

"Oh. That makes sense. But couldn't you come up with less stupid names?"

"I think they are cool. Colonel Shot is already here. The others should be arriving shortly."

"Thank you sir. You are very kind. What's your designation anyways?" Arcee asked.

"My designation, Ms. Rose, is Sideswipe. That is in fact my real name. I didn't feel like I needed a pseudonym. I am an anonymous person in and of myself," Sideswipe replied.

"I thought I said enough with the fancy talk!" Ironhide shouted from the hall.

"Sorry. Well, I'm glad you guys could make it. Come inside," Sideswipe said.

"Thank you," Arcee said.

"Thanks," Smokescreen said.

The other guests arrived one by one, making six in all. Elita 1, Chromia, and Prowl were the other three guests. Elita 1 was given the name Mrs. Pate, Chromia was given the name Mrs. Blank, and Prowl was given the name Mr. Teal. Sideswipe welcomed them in each time. Once everyone was there, he led them into the dining hall.

"Everyone take a seat. Your names are on your spot. Dinner will be served once our final guest has arrived," Sideswipe said.

"And who is our final guest?" Mr. Teal asked.

"His name is Mr. Bott. He likes to be fashionably late. It's really annoying. But who am I to question him? I'm just a butler," Sideswipe replied.

"Yer a butler? I would've never guessed. What do you do, anyways?" Colonel Shot asked.

"I buttle. Duh!" Sideswipe answered.

"Oh gee. That's informative." Professor Point said sarcastically.

"I don't know how else to put it!" Then the doorbell rang. "Well, there is our final guest!" Sideswipe left to go answer the door.

They heard muffled chatter coming from the hall as Sideswipe spoke with the final guest. The maid, Starlight, was also listening in.

"Would you like me to take your bag?" they heard Sideswipe ask.

"No. This bag has very important things that no one must see," the guest replied.

"Whatever you say, Mr. Bott. Come inside. Everyone else is already in the dining hall."

Sideswipe led Mr. Bott into the dining hall and Mr. Bott sat down in the only vacant seat left. He was a distinguished looking mech with a black paint job. The cook came in and served the energon.

"This is my favorite type of energon!" Mrs. Pate exclaimed.

"I know," Sideswipe replied. Then everyone set to eating.

"Why are we all here anyways?" Mr. Teal asked after they were done eating and had headed to the study.

"Well, all of you have something in common," Sideswipe answered.

"And what would that be?" Colonel Shot asked.

"You are all being blackmailed."

There were many gasps at that and Mrs. Pate exclaimed, "That is an outrageous lie! My bondmate is a distinguished member of the council!"

"Oh is that true? Then why is it that you have been found slipping credits underneath the door of the Iacon Mall washracks?"

"Um… uh…. Okay, you may be right. Mrs. Blank, what does your husband do?" Mrs. Pate said.

"He just lies on his back all day," Mrs. Blank replied.

"That sounds productive," Miss Rose commented.

"Does anyone else care to deny it?" Sideswipe asked. There was only silence that followed. "Take Professor Point, for example. He is a psychiatrist."

"What did he do that deserved blackmail? Doesn't he work for the Cybertronian Health Organization?" Colonel Shot asked.

"He does in fact. Do you know what psychiatrists can't do with their patients?"

"What? Oh, yeah."

"Well, he did it."

There were gasps around the room. Everyone looked at Smokescreen.

"What? She was too hot for me to resist!" Professor Point said.

"I'm not done yet," Sideswipe said. "Mrs. Pate is bonded to a mech on the council. She has been taking bribes to deliver her bondmate's votes. And all of Mrs. Blank's bondmates have died under mysterious circumstances. One was an illusionist who disappeared and never reappeared. But the latest was a physicist working with Cybertronium," he announced.

"So that's why you said he lied on his back all day!" Mrs. Pate exclaimed.

"Well, I think that bondmates should be like polishing cloths. Soft, strong, and disposable," Mrs. Blank replied.

"I am still not finished. Miss Rose runs a certain business in Iacon. A business where you can get certain services from attractive femmes," Sideswipe said.

Everyone gasped, except for Professor Point, who smirked, and Miss Rose. "I'm not ashamed of my work. It pays a lot of money," Miss Rose replied.

"Colonel Shot is being blackmailed for certain photographs that could be considered scandalous. And Mr. Teal—"

"Wait. I want to explain why I am being blackmailed. I am not ashamed of it. I would just lose my job if anyone found out. I am dating a Decepticon. They didn't really choose their side. They just got forced into it. And they aren't a soldier. They just work in records. They have never killed an Autobot," Mr. Teal interrupted.

"And what about Mr. Bott over there? What did he do?" Colonel Shot asked.

"Why, isn't it obvious? He is the one that is blackmailing you!" Sideswipe announced. Everyone gasped loudly.

"I have called you all together here to confront Mr. Bott and turn him over to the police. They will be here in an hour," Sideswipe said.

"I have some gifts for you all before I have to be arrested though. I shall pass them out," Mr. Bott says. Then he pulled out some packages and hands one to each of the other guests.

Each guest started to open the packages. Professor Point pulled out a laser pistol, Colonel Shot pulled out a wrench, Mrs. Pate got a knife, Miss Rose pulled out a welder, Mrs. Blank took out a coil of metal rope, and Mr. Teal got a mace.

"What are these for?" Colonel Shot asked.

"If I am in police custody, I can easily blurt out your secrets to the entire world. If one of you kills Sideswipe, the evidence will be destroyed and we can forget this ever happened. What do you say?" Mr. Bott announced.

Suddenly the lights went out. The laser pistol went off, and somebot screamed. When the lights turned back on, the sight everyone saw shocked them. There, in the middle of the floor, was Mr. Bott. He was lying on his face.

"Is he dead?" Miss Rose asked.

Professor Point went over to check. "Yes, he is dead. Mr. Bott has been killed," he said.

Notes:

Oh no! Cliffhanger! What are they gonna do? Sorry I'm leaving you on a cliffhanger. I just couldn't help myself. Also, sorry I haven't written more on my other stories. I've had writer's block and school got in the way. I will try to get more on those as soon as I can. I will also try to write more on this one.
Also, did you notice that I used some lines from Clue? I just tweaked them a bit to fit the story.

I have a question for the readers of this story. Should I keep using the fake names Sideswipe has given them, or should I use their real names? I'm not sure. I hope you enjoyed!
