Chapter 1: Awakening
It is The Year 2005
Laserbot emerged slowly from a cavern, after awakening from his creation tube. Still dripping in chemically enhanced energon, he stepped forward, his logic systems working at maximum to understand what was going on. Where am I Im Lutrex but why am I Lutrex? Why am I here? LB struggled to comprehend, he tried to stay upright as the ground shook underneath him. Whats going on? Why is this happening?! LB cried out confused. He looked up to see a tremendously huge figure heading towards what he knew to be his apparent world. The giant planet was metal and its fearsome form was surrounded by a ring that encompassed it like a halo. Its colors were an odd mix of grey and orange and its center opening appeared to be a treacherous mouth with fang like teeth that rotated opening and closing down on a smaller figure a metal moon.
What is that?! LB screamed afraid. Suddenly he felt a hand on his wing. Haaa! W who are you! LB cried surprised as he spun around to see who it was. There standing behind him was another bot similar to his structure but different in spirit. He was a blue and green colored bot and looked as if he too had a jet craft transformation. I am Acuis, but who are you!? LB looked back at the terrified bot. Are you also confused to why you exist, like me? LB asked. The bot returned a confused look. No? No I am not. Vector sigma programmed me with that information didnt he do the same for you? Do you know your name? Acuis asked puzzled at the thought that this bot didnt know who he was. O yes, yes I know my name, its Lutrex, and this planet is my home Cybertron, but I do not know why I was created or how or by whom?!... Or for that matter what the heck is going on?!! LB said as a tremor shook the plating beneath his feet, and he grabbed the wall to stabilize himself.
Lutrex? My info card tells me you were created just a microcycle after me right during the time when that thing caused a planet wide tremor that forced the entire planet to shut down for a brief time before reactivating!! Acuis stated. H how did you know that??! Lutrex asked holding on his fists clenched into the metal plating of the wall. I accessed a intercommunications frequency from an archive and searched your name. It says you were created 2 cycles from now, but strangely thats all the info I have on you? Acuis replied. Thats all that was there?! Well can you tell me whats haaaaapennning, heelllpp!!! LB screamed as the ground separated and a he fell into the deep crevice. Suddenly Acuis had reached out and grabbed LB by the hand but his grip was slipping. I cant hold you for long!! You got to transform and fly Lutrex!! Acuis yelled over the sound of smoldering molten core below. B But I dont know how!!? LB cried frantically. Your automated program will help you through the process! Just say transform!! Acuis yelled just as his grip on LBs hand slipped.
LB felt the heat of the smelting pit below as he fell toward it. He had to try to transform quickly! T Transform!! LB cried! Suddenly he felt his body shift and rotate into another form. What?! What happened to me I transformed!!? Fly! Fly Lutrex hurry!!! Acuis called from above. LB suddenly knew what to do his programming was finally being accessed. His jet engines blazed and he took off into the sky. Im flying Acuis ha ha!! LB laughed as he jet past and twirled in the sky.
Thats great Lutrex but I think we still have a problem!!? Acuis called as he too transformed into a jet/hovercraft and flew up towards Lutrex. As LB flew up higher into the atmosphere, with Acuis behind, he suddenly could see just how big the problem really was!! What in the world!? LB gasped as he gazed at the now robot for of the planet sized tyrant.
Thats Unicron! My programming tells me hes the number one threat to Cybertron right now! Acuis answered. Suddenly a beeping alert followed by a text message came over LBs sensors. Im getting a distress transmission from area 3497A2! Should we head over there and help?! LB asked Acuis still getting used to his new understanding of his systems. Yes! After all we werent programmed with a compassion chip for nothing heh! Acuis zipped down leading the way.
As they descended they entered into a severely damaged area and what looked like to be a literally flattened city. No doubt Unicron did this! LB said angrily as he scanned the area for survivors so far reading none.
(Note: Im assuming since this is sort of a different universe that the G1 movie didnt happen and that some of the characters that died in the ship back to earth are still alive that is till they all die after the attack from Unicron )
Suddenly LB picked up a life signature on his scanners. Acuis I found somebody! LB called as he dug away at the disorganized heap of bent up scrap metal. He lifted a heavy piece to reveal a red and grey transformer who looked as though he transformed into some sort of road vehicle. Acuis flew down to help LB lift the rest off of the transformer. His optics slowly flickered on as they did so. H heaya wha.. what, happened? The bot asked in a gruff old voice. The building you were in collapsed on you we found you here after picking up your life signature on our scanners. Are you alright? Acuis answered. You look pretty banged up let me help ya outta there LB said as he offered the bot a hand. Harrg.. thank ya young lad. Suppose I should introduce myself to my rescuers the names Ironhide. The old bot replied. Nice to meet you, my names Acuis and this is Lutrex. Acuis introduced. Hi, kinda new at this, and not sure about a lot of stuff yet Im just glad we found some one whos still alive in this wasteland LB said. Well Im sorry you had to be installed at such a bad time Lutrex, this is definitely not out brightest hour Ironhide replied.
Is there anything we can do for you? Acuis offered. Well actually yes. Im unable to transform in my present condition and I have important information I need to get to Autobot HQ ASAP. Do you think I could hitch a ride on one of you? Ironhide asked; a short moment of silence filled the air as he looked back and forth from the two bots. I can fly you! LB stepped forward. But Lutrex we cant you just learned how to and my alt cant handle it! And first of all how do you know if your strong enough? Acuis argued. Look its not something we can say no to Acuis we got to help, all of Cybertron depends on it! Lutrex looked sternly back at Acuis. hhaaa Y your right Good, ok then, if you two are done arguing, I thing we better get movn! Ironhide butted in anxious to get going. Right! Transform!
LB transformed and Ironhide jumped on and took off back into the dusty skies. Ok were to? LB asked. Where to? Ironhide gave LB a questionable look. Yea where is this Autobot HQ place? LB asked honestly as they flew. You mean to tell me you dont know where HQ is?! Arent you an Autobot?! Well heh actually I dont know that either LB replied. Acuis flew in next to LB. For some reason he did not receive the normal data upload that all of us usually get the records were interrupted during his creation because of that planet wide black out I think Acuis explained to Ironhide. Humm it makes sence well theres no time for this now concentrate all your power on getting to this destination Ironhide said as he uploaded the map to Autobot HQ into LBs databanks. Haa I get it now thanks Ironhide! I just turn right near vector nine and keep heading that way till I reach Yea, yea I know! Stop talking and fly for it! Ironhide cut LB short. Yes sir! LB thought again about what Ironhide had said. Focus all his power on getting there and that is what he did.
