Transformers Prime react to Beast Machines: Transformers

The Reformatting

The Autobots, Renegatrons and the Predacons take their seats.

In the midst of a desolate, metallized Cybertron, Optimus Primal runs for his Spark as many tank-like drones converge on him by droves unimaginable before. Facing heavy fire from these drones, and being cornered from a dead-end, Primal glares before his pursuers.

"I don't know who you are, but if it's a fight you want, Optimus Primal- MAXIMIZE!"

But instead of transforming, he was getting shocks all over his body.

"He's not transforming..." Prime said.

"Why?" Bumblebee asked.

"What's happening?! Why can't I transform?!" Primal asked amidst his body suffering from shocks as any attempts to transform had failed.

[System Error. System Error.] as the drones take aim at Primal.

"It seems like his transformation cog is either affected by the transwarp portal or damaged." Ratchet surmised.

"Or he has a virus in his system that he can't purge so easily." Shockwave replied.

Unable to fight, Primal leaps high to avoid the drones' fire. He continued through by the pipes as a monkey would until he reached a higher vantage point significantly far from the drones. When he stopped there, his optics glow an opaque-transparent color as he felt he was guided by a light that pointed to a train ahead.

"What was that?" Warpath asked.

"Some kind of spiritual connection to Primal. I cannot determine it." Perceptor admitted.

"Or is it Primus guiding him elsewhere?" asked Ultra Magnus.

"Fools! The only Primus I see here is Megatron!" Thunderblast sneered.

Megatron felt pale. No one was capable in stopping Thunderblast, let alone discipline her.

Being fired at by the drones again, Primal leaped to the train as it passed along, landing to a train car with a certainly obnoxious voice.

"Hey, get off! This is my hiding spot!" Rattrap showed up from his hiding spot.

"Rattrap?"

"Optimus?"

"Wait, did the virus also erase their memories as well?!" Bumblebee asked.

"It would certainly seem so, Bumblebee." Perceptor replied.

But the drones caught up with the train they were using for cover and fired intensely until they were heading to a subway that fortunately blocked the drones' line of fire.

"You mind telling me what's going on here? One minute, we're heading home to Cybertron, next thing is, these yo-yos have been using me for target practice!" Rattrap squeaked fearfully.

"You don't remember either?" Primal realized "There must be some kind of virus causing a memory glitch!"

"Once again, Professor Perceptor had to be right all along." Air Raid groused sarcastically.

Perceptor just does the anime glasses pose that blocked his optics.

"Wait, where are the others? Silverbolt, Rhinox, Blackarachnia, Cheetor and Megatron? Weren't they were with the shuttle back to Cybertron?" Sideswipe asked.

"They were likely as scattered in Cybertron as with the others, Sideswipe." Ultra Magnus replied.

Rattrap sneered at his leader "Oh, you wanna see a glitch? Check this out!" but like Primal, he can't transform as well.
