Transformers Prime react to Beast Machines: Transformers

The Weak Component

"Just sit tight! You're in good hands now." Nightscream complimented while flying.

"It's funny how a Maxie has the name that sounds like Starscream here... except he's quite sassy, don't you think, boys?" Onslaught teased, laughed along with the Combaticons.

Starscream paid them no heed. Nightscream was the name of his cousin from Omnikron, the small town southwest of Kaon. Nightscream was meant to be his successor, his protege, but he would never live as long as he did for the next millions of years of war. Especially since he was killed by Air Raid during their first mission together as part of the Seekers.

Nightscream dropped Rattrap off to a platform where Cheetor was waiting.

"Nightscream- SYNTHESIZE." the latter transformed and emitted a sonic blast powerful enough to knock the attacking airborne Vehicon from the rear out of flight, crashing to a nearby drone in a mixed explosion.

While Cheetor deflected gunfire from the front with his swords, Rattrap hid behind him, unable to fight back, until he likely chattered out inadvertently "Rattrap- SYNTHESIZE!" and transformed to his robot form once again, where the wheels on his legs eventually formed magnetized grips in his forearms, as to act like shields. He then slid under Cheetor and covered for the latter until his shields retracted spikes in all of eight of it's treads, prompting Rattrap to throw them at the two airborne Maximals firing at Rattrap, slicing them by their heads off their bodies.

Though confused, Cheetor nonetheless said "Uh, good job Rattrap! But you still have to get to the data banks and get the intel we need. That's an order."

Rattrap nodded, as his shields then reattached themselves back at his forearms and transformed back to Beast Mode, then went on to the data banks all while Megatron was observing.

"So my great grandnephew has shields that he can throw and retract back at his forearms due to magnets attached to it. Interesting." Arcee commented with a smirk.

"It helps for defense. And offense since Rattrap can throw those things like those triangles the humans call boomerangs." Knockout replied.

"If it works, it works. If I know my grandnephew, he'd probably get creative with them." Arcee replied.

"I must warn you to remain still while the DNA purge is still experimental and underway." the drone replied to Megatron.

"And eliminate my Beast Mode." Megatron sharply replied.

"Indeed. Theoretically."

"Then why am I still waiting?" Megatron questioned.

It pressed several buttons and replied "Perhaps you should wait until the Maximal situation is unstable?"

"And allow them to unearth another disgusting beast? Hardly." Megatron groused.

"Oooooh, yes, at least he's consistent with his hatred of all things organic? Is that right, Lord Megatron?" teased Knockout.

"No. I may not like humans, but I don't discriminate them THIS much." Megatron replied.

While Cheetor was surrounded by motorized Vehicons, he deflected their blaster fire one by one, as the deflection caused self-inflicted casualties amongst the Vehicons until Thrust arrived.

"Here, kitty kitty..." he taunted closing in towards Cheetor, until Nightscream transformed and emitted a shout so disruptive it disabled Thrust and the motorized Vehicons, rendering them immobile.

"You caught that?" Cheetor asked, confused.

"Yep. Another trick in my book, thanks to Primal's reformatting." Nightscream replied. "Just a little Disruption and the little bots shut right down."
