(The previous thread has been closed due to length. Posts for Autobot only characters are to be placed here.)
Previous thread synopsis follows-
Having retreated to Earth as Quintessons invaded Cybertron, the transformer factions began regrouping and reassessing their current situations and evaluating their next actions.
The Autobots took refuge in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, making Fortress Maximus their base of operations. For them, the return to Earth is a batch of mixed situations. Some time ago, Unicron had threatened the existance of the universe. In light of that situation, Optimus had made a peace treaty with the Decepticon leader, Galvatron. Together, the Autobots and Decepticons defeated the huge monstrosity, but then were confronted with an evil object called a Chaos Matrix, which the Decepticon Thunderwing had gotten hold of.
The Chaos Matrix brought forth a leader named Rodimus Convoy (as well as others) from different dimentions. It had Rodimus Convoy's mind influenced that Optimus was evil, and Rodimus Convoy together with the corrupting power of the Chaos Matrix managed to convince half the Autobot troops that Prime wasn't after peace. They followed Rodimus Convoy, in in the wake of this split, an Autobot civil war began. Optimus recalled all the Autobots from Earth, to aid in the fight to destroy the Chaos Matrix and set things right with Rodimus Convoy and the others. In doing so, he gave Earth to the Decepticons. The two groups of Autobots were joined by the Decepticons- Galvatron aiding Optimus and the Chaos Matrix was destroyed, and at the last battle, Rodimus Convoy and several others gave their existances to rid the groups of the evil object.
With all of the transformer leaders and main groups in a weakened state from external and internal fighting, the Quintessons took advantage of the situation. They got the Decepticon Mindwipe to release a "Hate Plague II" by infecting Mirage with it. As the virus spread, the Quints invaded, and the tf leaders chose to strategically retreat.
So upon returning to Earth. the Autobots found themselves on 'Decepticon property', however, the Decepticons had not followed the terms of Optimus' agreement and the Autobot leader is begining to consider other possibilities. Knowing they were outnumbered, Optimus called upon the Matrix and several fallen warriors became reactivated.
Also nearby, two giant tfs crashed into a mountain lake and were just now recovered. One being Victory Saber, and one being Leokaiser. These new tfs pose more issues for the Autobots.
---------------
Meanwhile- in a faraway country called Carbombya, the Decepticons had a ready made base with Metrotitan landing, and plenty of resources from an old standing alliance with the human ruler- Abdul Fakkadi. Megatron approached him first with Maxima, intending on securing his aid and resources to take over the leadership of the Decepticons entirely from Galvatron, however that plan was headed off at the pass when Galvatron got wind of it and showed up on the scene to behead Megatron.
Meanwhile, Astrotrain, City Commander of Metrotitan charged the femme assassin Star Blade with an important mission: the termination of Ultra Magnus. The expected assassination of the Autobot officer would propel both sides back into open conflict, as per Decepticon leader Galvatron's (and second in command Gigatron's) wishes.

Ultra Magnus was severly alarmed by what Skyfall had spoken of.
"Victory Saber can be talked to, but I fear that Liokaiser is an entirely different matter and if his powers are half as strong as the tone of your voice suggests our problems are huge."
Grimlock peered through the security monitors looking over the front of Metroplex.
"Me not think problem look that big..."
Magnus simply glazed over at Grimlock's comments...
"It's not the size that counts, it's how much of a beating they'll give you that matters..." Magnus turned to the comm system again "...This is Ultra Magnus, we have a massive security risk outside our door. All secuity detail are to converge in meeting room one asap."
Magnus signed off the comm system, then addressed Grimlock.
"You're the muscle, you and the Dinobots, come with me."
Magnus began to move towards the exit.
"Skyfall, you seem most savvy with our 'friends' outside. If you would come with us too."
Magnus set off for the meeting room, followed by Grimlock.

Thouroughly bored, Aero Blade sat slouched in his chair, looking about ready to doze off or fall out; either one or both were bound to happen sooner or later at this rate. Just as Aero Blade was about to start snoozing, though, the door to the room openned up.
"Hound!" Aero Blade realized cheerfully, hopping out of his chair. "You're looking better," he said, coming over to the older Autobot. When he got close was when he noticed Quick Switch. Aero Blade immediately backed up a short ways, making room so that they could enter, but also keeping cautious distance from the unfamiliar transformer. Aero Blade held his spot, watching a bit timidly and unsure.
On the other side of the room, Stratus sat on the back of a chair, not immediately visibly to the Autobots who had just entered. Stratus remained descretely still, keeping an eye on Quick Switch. He could easily see his partner's caution, and that made the minicon alert as well.

Sunstreaker was immediately repulsed by the idea Spike had suggested of not fighting. It sickened him to his processor.
"Not fight?! And let my friends run out and die while I hunk in my room and sulk?! As humans say Not a chance hell. I would not sit back as my friends fought even if the fight was pointless
~~
"Guard Duty?" Blaster replied to Trailbreaker from his mountain peak where he sat still trying to get some sort of musical radio signal. He sighed and shrugged "Why not, better then sitting on a mountop listening to static no stop"

"Hi Aero Blade!" Hound greeted his friend cheerfully before noting the subsequent hesitant reaction. "Yes, I feel better thanks, and you look better too." He smiled. "You remember Quick Switch?"
--------
Riptide's optics widened as the big Sixchanger entered, but she didn't even attempt to move from Dirge's lap. Shasta was surprised when he found himself released, but surprisingly enough, he didn't move either and gave Quick Switch an indifferent look.
--------
Trailbreaker listened to Crosshairs. "Yeah, I'm ready for a bit of downtime. But I think I'll just sit and stay here a while - maybe take an idle for a bit." Then Blaster clicked in. Trailbreaker listened as he shot Minerva a thumbs-up and then leaned backwards on the big combiner's chestplate. "Sounds fair Blaster. Hurry up though- the others are gonna disassemble this hunk 'o' junk, and that means we'll have lots to look out for." He clicked off and shut his optics, letting the mid-morning sun warm his body in a full-length sprawl.
---------
Inferno folded his arms and looked at the disappearing group. This standing around is lighting my fire. He had been trying his best to be patient, but he couldn't wait any longer. Optimus told me to stay, and then he left. I'm not doing any good standing here like a pole. Maybe those things are what Prime wanted me to watch... up close and personal-like.
"Wreck Gar. I'm gonna go see what's going on out there. Ya wanna come?" Inferno called as he headed to the door.
---------
Prowl's systems picked up the transmission from Ultra Magnus and he stirred and then sat up. His systems still hadn't recovered, but at least the buzzing in his auditories had stopped. Immediately he was on alert. He sensed someone in the room with him, but didn't see anyone directly. Suddenly, Smokescreen's voice came from a dark corner in the room. "It's about time you took some time off Prowl, but it should be more than 28 Earth minutes."
Prowl shook his head and smiled slightly as Smokescreen chuckled and his blue optics opened to become two lights in the dark. He was standing in the corner with his arms folded.
"How long have you been there, Smokescreen?"
"Not long. About 31 and a half minutes. Came to polish a scrape and when you walked in in such a daze, I figured I'd stay and make sure you stayed functional."
"Unneccesary, but thanks. I need to go to a meeting now."
Smokescreen's optics brightened. "Why?"
"Ultra Magnus called a security meeting." Prowl swung his feet down over the side of the table, then paused a moment I'm still part of security."
"And isn't that why you're here?"
Prowl shook his head again. "No... I'm not a security risk. I've just - got some overheated circuits..."
Smokescreen moved in closer He looked surprised. "Security risk. Hardly. I meant that of course you're still security. This is why you survived, and why most of the others did too. You must really have some overheated circuits Prowl." Smokescreen put a hand on Prowl's shoulder. "You need to let your systems cool. You had a mission and did everything you could do. No machine can predict everything, but you and Optimus did the best you both could. Run through that logic once and then go into idle. I'll ask Magus for permission to take your place and I'll fill you in in two hours. By then your systems will have caught up."
Prowl frowned briefly but then nodded. "Okay Smokescreen. If they give you a hard time, you'll let me know, won't you?"
"Certainly. Take it easy now. I'll be back soon." And as Prowl leaned back, Smokescreen closed the door partway and headed up towards the meeting room.
---------------
Spike wasn't sure what to do with Sunstreaker. The big yellow and black Autobot had always been a bit difficult, even if Spike understood his reasoning this time. "Well, I guess then, all that remains is to see what Optimus does and hope he doesn't let either planet stay in the current possessors' hands... I should probably go back and see how Hound's doing Sunstreaker. He was going to get repaired and answer some questions for me. Do you want to come?"

Last Elemental on the bench, just leaves a wedding
Frost definatly liked the area she was flying through, all she could see was miles and miles of ice. Must be a polar ice cap, one of the few things most planes seem to have in common. Go north long enough and you find one. But I should focus on finding the source of that pulse, not enjoying the terrain she thought as she was flying through the arctic skies.
She eventually came across a huge glacier. A cave large enough for Void to fit through with ease seemed to be the only opening. She transformed in mid air and landed in front of the cave.
Hmm, the pulse seems to be coming from inside. Judging by the size of the cave, I should be on my guard. For all I know there's a white dragon or frost giant inside. Frost carefully made her way inside. The cave soon became a tunnel, but no traces of whatever creature lives inside. Frost had been walking for about an hour and was about to relax when a roar could be heard from up ahead. Sounded like a bear of some sort, shouldn't be a problem if it proves hostile. She neared the end of the tunnel and saw a large cavern with a large hole in the roof, and also the creature that made the roa: a white bear about 5 feet tall.
The bear had seen her too, but made no move to attack her. It just seemed to grin as it looked at Frost. "Ah, you're finally here. I was wondering how long I'd have to wait for you. I take it your name is Frost?" the bear spoke.
Frost surprised since she had not expecting a talking bear, took a moment or two to reply. "I am Frost. But how do you know my name? And why were you waiting for me" she stated cold and direct, intent on getting quick answers.
"Oh, I was created to be your familiar and was told to wait for you here. I think the guy who made me and the others called himself Urza. Oh, before I forget, my name's Arctos" the bear replied.
"So, Arctos was it? I take it Urza created you to boost my power, the usual task for familiars. Then I assume the others you speak of are ment for my sisters?" Frost replied, still not dropping her guard. There were many who knew her former master, and not all of them were friendly.
"Yup, my 3 brothers, Tempest, Draco and Typhoon are the familiars for your sisters Shock, Blaze and Gale respectivly" Arctos answered.
"And Void?" was all Frost asked, it was enough. Apart from Urza and some of the Autobots, no one else knows who Void is. If this being does know, I can trust him.
"Ah yes, your merged form. Urza refrained from creating a specific familiar for her. Void would become so powerful that she would equal planewalkers, and that would be a grave risk in battle. But why all the questions? You don't trust me do you?" the bear familiar said.
"I did not, but after what you said about Void I do. Urza would not allow that much power to be gained at once. He gained it when he was forced to use the Cylix to destroy his brother Mishra. I'll gladly have you as my familiar. And this cavern will be our home" with those words Frost flew through the hole in the roof of the cavern and started scouting out the nearby terrain.
Neither Frost nor her sisters would likely become involved with any matters regarding either Earth, Cybertron or anything else in regards to the Autobots and Decepticons. Not for a good long time anyway.

Omega Shuttle
As Chromedome entered the command chamber, starlight turned and looked at him with a puzzled look. As she began her response in Minicon, strange things began to happen.
As she gave her response, it started as the flickering of the electrical systems. Then slight arcs of blue energy began to move around the command centre flickering off the Transformers armor. The temperature in the room dropped signifigantly and a glowing orb appeared just above the command chair. Some of the energy arced and traced around Chomedome, lightly scanning him.
*************************************
Maximus Command Centre
Skyfall nodded to Ultra Magnus and began to follow with him, still flying in the air. Suddenly he stopped and began to faintly glow with a blue light. His optics became distant.
With a voice much deeper and mechanical than his own:
"Threat Assesment: Negligable, Security precautions: unneeded'"
He then turned to Ultra Magnus:
"Talk: Excessive. Time: Limited." and the light faded, leaving a very confused little robot looking around.
"Well, that was interesting. I believe that was my partner looking out for me." and he sheepishly floated down to the ground and began to walk with the other Autobots.
***************************************************
Omega Shuttle
The same voice rung through the Omega shuttle, then everything returned to normal.
Starlight rushed over to Chromedome and began scanning his systems for damage, while the other two began to scan Omega. Starlight pondered the data and then held up her scanner to Chromedome.
It's readings indecated that there was some similarity between Omega's make up and his own and that may have triggered the event.

Aero Blade looked up at Quick Switch when Hound asked his question. Remember him? He'd never seen him before in his... Oh wait, wasn't Quick Switch the name of the guy I needed to see to get inducted?
Aero Blade continued to look at Quick Switch. This guy seemed...pretty imposing. He'd never seen a transformer quite like him. I'm having second thoughts... Aero Blade consider silently, staying frozen on his spot.

Quick Switch turned to regard Aero Blade with his usual intense gaze, and especially that of the Minicon nearby, and he frowned.
That is one of the small units similar to the ones who refused to help us earlier! I went with Optimus myself to that wretched planet and was a monumental waste of TIME-
However, the Six Changer fought to control his always fast-moving central processor.
Quick Switch spoke finally, smiling slightly while pointedly ignoring the Minicon.
"Hound has spoken most highly of you, Aero Blade."
It was at that moment the Security Director discovered the presence of the two younglings, and Dirge...holding one of the younglings. His frown intensified.
Younglings? How am I possibly going to be able to give them a security rating? Or run protocol algorithms? THESE are the units Dirge has been warding? Younglings? That doesn't seem possible!
****
Dirge, meanwhile, managed to look up from the screen, and caught sight of the Six Changer's severe expression, and he unconciously held Riptide a little closer.
"That's Quick Switch," he whispered. "The Security Directooor," the jet said. "He's...very...dedicaaated."
The rest of the film was entirely forgotten at this point.

Aero Blade warily took note of Quick Swtich's expression. Uh oh. He doesn't like minicons... Hopefully Stratus would behave, but Aero Blade unfortunately knew better. He just hoped no-one did anything they'd regret.
Over on his chair, Stratus returned Quick Switch's look with a low but audible growl. He didn't like this guy, and he could tell this guy didn't like him, but when the big transformer started ignoring him, that was just too much for the minicon. Stratus chriped irritably, transforming into his jet mode and flying over that direction. He did a rather close flyby of Quick Switch's head, then flew to Aero Blade, transforming and taking up his usualy possition on Aero Blade's shoulder, continuing to glare at Quick Switch.

Blaster shrugged and got off his perch on the mountain and stretched out his joints and circuts.
"Man feels like I haven't moved for days" he mutters to himself as he begins to move down the mountain able to see all the people working below him outside Fort Max.

Sunstreaker shook his head "Sorry Spike chit chat with could be traitors isn't on my to do list this day. I have a chest plate to attach and paint over anyways. I may catch up with you later though"

It had nearly been half a day since prime had entered the matrix.. and time was running short. Inside the matrix, Prime had journyed back to before nova prime had been instated as the new prime... and he had found his answer...
"It won't make a difference then..." optimus spoke
"No, Optimus Prime... " The female commander spoke
"The decepticons under Galvatron will not rest until their leader has returned to the true path of the decepticons... destruction and conquest. One way or another... this treaty you speak of... will be quickly broken. and the matters on cybertron... will not be impacted by it. It would be then that it would be most harmful for the treaty to break... Having to face not only the quintessons, but a surprise attack by the decepticons as well..."
"Prima... Thank you." Optimus responded
"It was truth you sought, and with this knowledge, hopefully you will be able to save your bretheren... and your homeworld... without extreme bloodshed."
Prime bowed to the female commander, and began to contemplate the data he'd just recieved... it was then that he realized the amount of time he had spent within the matrix... and just how far back he had gone...
"A warning, Prime.... do not journey too far into the Matrix... or you may become lost... forever"...
Those words were spoken by alpha trion when optimus first entered the matrix in 2009... during the hate plague incident... and they still rung true only now to him...
Prime's thoughts went to blank... and he focused entirely on the present... where he was supposed to be... an instant later, his blue optics roared to life, emmitting a massive burst of matrix energy... Prime rose to his feet, slowly, a hand on his head... shaking out the cobwebs as it were... he wasn't expecting what just happened... it seemed a portion of the matrix had been set loose from its core...
"I'll have to keep that in mind..." Prime thought to himself... the last thing he needed... was the matrix to be totally drained in the future during a time of crisis.
Lifting his head, he spoke to himself...
"This body... has done great things for me... in past and present. But it is not this Optimus Prime that my autobots need... They need THEIR leader... the one whom all have seen and respected and felt a kinship with..."
Prime left his chambers, silently transforming.. heading for the mock crypt...
Arriving, he again shifted forms, reverting to robot mode. he silently scanned the room, and stopped upon finding a specific stasis pod, nearly hidden in a corner of the crypt... Approaching it, he wiped the viewport open, and spoke again...
"It's you... that we need. Not I... as I am. "
"Computer. Prepare for consciousness and datatrak transfer. Authorization: Orion Pax, Security code Sigma Zero Zero One."
There was silence, and then the internal systems computer spoke
"Preparations complete. initialize uplink to stasis capsule. Will begin transfer when uplink is initiallized."
Prime put his hand out, and placed it in a palm imprint on the capsule... and the data transfer commenced. the consciousness and memories... experiences... the very spark of the autobot leader was abruptly removed from his previous form... the form that was previously inhabited by prime fell to the ground, activating fortress' security scanners...
"Available personell, report to the crypt area!... possible intruder! Priority One Response required! Last Known Location of Optimus Prime: Crypt. Current location.... Subject is not within scanner range."
Within the pod, circuitry came online... energon flowed to power relays, and internal systems came online...
the former body's chest plate flipped down, revealing the crystaline structure and casing of the matrix...
the casing began slowly to levitate from its former resting place within optimus' old body... rising up to the upper area of the stasis capsule... shining matrix energy brightly....
The capsule opened, and the form within, while physically still dormant, became aware of what was about to occur. the arm relays activated, and instinctively rose to the upper torso/chest area, and as the chest doors separated, the arms assisted in opening the panels....
The internal casing swung up, revealing the new...or rather OLD resting place.... for the matrix.
Again the artifact glowed brightly, projecting small arcs of lightning... locking into place, the casing swung down, and the panels swung closed. and slowly, blue optics could be seen in the dark...

Escort duty:
Ironhide: -picks up distress call from Fort Max- "Sorry, kid, cain't help ya. Prahme's in trouble! Hosehead, you stay an' help her. Resta you're with me!"
Ironhide, Roadbuster, Nightbeat, Siren, and Hardhead: -transform to vehicle mode, burn rubber for the maximus-
Hosehead: -watching the other recede in the distance- "Is it me, or is this Ironhhide harder to understand than ours?"
Minerva: "It's you." -sighs- "Well, this job just got harder......"
*************************
Ironhide, Roadbuster, Nightbeat, Siren, and Hardhead: -transform to robot mode as they charge up the Maximus entry ramps, weapons drawn as they enter-
Ironhide: -leading the charge to the crypt- "Ah'll go in hahgh. Roadbuster, you go in low. Resta you guys cover us!"
Nightbeat: "Why couldn't we have to go rescue a resort planet? Or even just a resort?"
Roadbuster: "Ain't gonna happen."
Ironhide, Roadbuster, Nightbeat, Siren, and Hardhead: -skid to a halt outside of the crypt-
Ironhide and Roadbuster: -go in through the doorway, the others covering the directions they can't-
Ironhide: -looking around, not seeing any obvious threat, scanners pealed, yells- "PRAHME!!! C'N YOU HEAR ME?"
**************
Tracks and Brainstorm: -having watched most of the escort convoy go charging into the Maximus after Fort Max's distress call-
Tracks: "What do we do?"
Brainstorm: "Normally, I'd say go in, but if our berzerker here wakes up and goes nuts again, it could be bad for all of us. And I know I can't handle him alone."
Tracks: -scowls- "I don't like this one bit....."

As Stratus zoomed past Quick Switch, Hound tensed, waiting for the muffled sounds of a suddenly-snatched minicon. He let out a relieved exhale as Stratus made it back to Aero Blade's shoulder, then quickly laughed. "I'm sorry Stratus. I hadn't gotten as far as introducing you yet. Quick Switch, this is Stratus, and you know Dirge of course... That's Riptide with him and over there is Shasta."
******
Riptide stared at Quick Switch, open mouth and open optics. I bet he has loads an' loads of shooters! Bet they're valuibble too! She put on a grin and tucked her chin down then waved slightly.
Shasta looked at Stratus in surprise as the little minicon zipped towards the six changer and then to Aero Blade's shoulder. Then he slid off the couch and walked right up to Quick Switch's foot and looked upwards before asking, "Why.. y... you not like Stratus?"
--------
Trailbreaker was just settling into idle when Minerva called. He smiled and just half waved an arm before sitting up. Then he stood up and worked his way down the giant combiner's right arm before sliding down the last bit to the ground. He walked off a bit and sat down to watch.

Wreck-Gar sat hunched over a computer terminal, replaying the data that had been collected regarding the Autobots current situation.
"What the hell am I looking at?!" he said to the Junkions around him. "When does this happen in the movie?"
"Now?" One Junkion replied.
"Or maybe then," another replied.
"But what happened to then?" yet another replied.
"They passed it now," the first replied.
"So head back to then," the third said, agitated.
"But we can't," the second replied. "We passed then now."
"So when will we get back to then?" the first asked.
Wreck-Gar sighed. It was going to take a lot to dig these Autobots out of syndication, but it was the human thing to do.
