Transformers Prime (Relics and Keys)

Chapter 4- Operation Bumblebee (Part 1)

"An Iacon homing beacon." Optimus recognized.

"What's an Autobot locator doing on that?" Periwinkle asked.

"The class A Decepticons weapons confiscated during the war, were sealed within the vaults below Iacon." Optimus answered.

"Where you once worked as an archivist?" Bulkhead asked.

"Iacon was both a cultural center and a stronghold. Which Megatron raided when Autobot troops were at their nadir. It stands to reason that in anticipation of Iacon being overrun by enemy forces, these weapons were jettisoned off-world to keep them far from Decepticon reach." Optimus explained.

"Clearly, the beacon was added as a safety measure. Should the weapons ever be found by the undesired party." Rachet stated.

"Well thanks to our hotshot stun driver, this one's going in our vault." Bulkhead declared.

"Do you think this is the only intel you supplied to Megatron?" Arcee asked.

"Arcee, you are right to ask. And, I am afraid I...do not remember." Optimus replied as he shakes his helm.

"Optimus, Megatron clearly took advantage of your amnesia. But for all we know, this Spark Extractor is the extent of it. Have you stopped to consider that he might have suggested otherwise merely to plauge your thoughts." Rachet tells him.

In the Decepticon warship, Megatron bangs his first on the panel.

"The Spark Extractor was in my grasp! I should have removed more than that Scout's voice box when I had the chance!" Megatron yelled.

Soundwave shows the evil warlord coordinates on his face screen.

"Indeed, Soundwave. We possess two more sets of coordinates, which Orion decrypt med before departing our ranks. Let us see what other...long-lost treasures we might be reunited with."

Later at night, Bumblebee drives on the road. He beeps through the coordinates.

"Yeah I just picked up the same signal. Could be another homing beacon. Let's rendezvous with the coordinates" Bulkhead says over the comlink.

Bumblebee drives on the ground and transforms back into his robot form. He noticed an beacon on the rock and walks towards it. Bumblebee looks at it in curiosity.

Suddenly, he's hit by an electric blast. Bumblebee falls on the ground, deactivated. Silas and his MECH soldiers walk towards the yellow Scout.

"Silas, another one's head towards our position. Estimated arrival; two minutes" a MECH soldier informed.

"Work briskly." Silas ordered.

The MECH soldier takes out a drill from a suitcase and starts to operate on Bumblebee. Starscream flies down and transforms back into his robot form. He watches the MECH soilder operating on Bumblebee from above.

"It would appear that the signal was a trap. Better Bumblebee than me." Starscream sneered.

The MECH soldier continues to operate on Bumblebee while Silas looks in the sky with his electric goggles. He sees Bulkhead close by.

"The backup is ahead of schedule." said Silas. The MECH soldier pulls out Bumblebee's T-Co

"As lucky would have, so am I." said the MECH soldier.

"Move out!" Silas ordered.

He and the MECH soldiers get on the helicopter. Bumblebee regains consciousness as the helicopter flies off. Bulkhead drives up to Bumblebee and transformed back into his robot form.
