Reporter: This is your reporter Donna Harding from WNN webcast, I'm reporting from the once peaceful beautiful streets of Neo York. The serenity of this city has been disrupted and destroyed by large giants robots who have transformed these streets into a battleground. Could these giant robots be the legendary Transformers back from their interstellar graveyard? Could they be pawns of the aliens that have imprisoned this planet? One thing is for sure, these robots have become public enemy #1 and this city will never be the same...

2 HOURS before:

The white desert seems never ending, it stretches out like the expanse of space, enveloping everything and devouring it. It is angered by an intrusion into its space. First it was a yellow light which defied it, now others have dared to intrude upon its surface. The intruders race towards another atrocity to the white space, it has defiled its tundra for too long. The white beats down on it with all its might, it covers it time and again but its fabric does not last it just melts away. They are many of these structures scatters across its white skin like warts that won't go away. Patience is a virtue and the white space has waited this long, a little while won't be hard. Soon it could be victorious and be rid of all intruders on its being, all the warts and pests and opposing lights and all that can be seen for miles will be just the white land and the dark sky.

Hardhead, Turbofire, Sideswipe and Rattrap race towards the large unfrozen area they spotted from their ships scanners. It stretches for many miles, if it is one of the domed cites, it has to be huge and possibly inhabit millions of humans. Their human comrades wanted to come along but they were not sure if it would be safe. As a matter of fact the Decepticons are engaged in the race toward the discovery and it has become a matter of whit and speed to see who can get there first.

Anticipation fuels the Autobots, it pushes them with great force. Like archeologists on finding the greatest known mystery. Hopefully they can win back the humans' trust and respect and be honored to live amongst them once again. Finally they will have the planet behind them not like on Galmethia when the Decepticons were the inhabitants' warlords and they, the Autobots were outcasts, hunted and hated. Maybe now the Decepticons will run and hide for once.

The anticipation is soon satisfied as they are thrown back by something they were looking for but the mere sight of it is more than they were prepared for. They all stop and stare in awe at the gigantic structure, a large dark dome. Stretching far into the air, dwarfing the Autobots.

Rattrap: Wow! This is huge, I can't believe it.

Hardhead: So this is what Rodimus and the others were constructing. This is bigger than I thought.

Sideswipe: I am still speechless you guys.

Turbofire: Its so beautiful, technology at its finest, I would love to see how it supports and sustains life.

Rattrap: Well we may get that chance but first the Decepticons are on our tail pipes and if they get in there first they are going to do some major damage.

Hardhead: Agreed, everyone try to think of some way inside. We sure can't knock at the front door.

Rattrap: Bingo! It's the underground highway Commander Tagget spoke about. All we gotta do is melt some ice and cut through the earth and the metal exterior and get in through there.

Hardhead transforms and fires upon the ice below with his laser melting it but as soon as it melts ice forms again and the white dominator screams in pain and hatred at the intruders. The other Autobots transform and join in and they succeed in melting a path through the ice deep down to the frost bitten earth.

Rattrap: Okay now all we got to do is cut through the dead soil which I think goes down for another few hundred meters.

Sideswipe: WHAT! You have got to be kidding me, you made it sound so easy.

Rattrap: Hey, you got any other bright ideas blue hide? Huh? Huh?

They all go silent and all that is heard is the howl of the cold wind.

Rattrap: Good, then lets do this.

Turbofire fires a couple missiles and the others step back as they blast down the hole causing an explosion tossing fire and earth into the air. Hardhead fires five missiles and directs them down the hole and the explosions shatters the ice around them causing large cracks all beneath their feet. They all stand around the giant hole and fire their lasers like miners in search of precious metals. They continue their task which seems never ending until the hit upon the first sight of the metal underground structure. Rattrap jumps down their deep hole until he lands on top of it.

Rattrap: Well the metal seems a bit denser than I thought but if we try I am sure we can get through in a couple of hours or so. Ha! Ha! Ha! Guys I am kidding... guys?

Rattrap waits for a reply but the howl of the wind dominates, then a hated voice breaks the silence.

Tankor: When the Autobots planned all this, I am sure they built it to keep Decepticons out but they had no idea I would be here and nothing can keep me out of this city not you or that metal so step aside.

Tankor jumps down next to Rattrap slapping him hard against the rock wall. He commences to activate his saw and attempts to cut through the metal.

Tankor: Amazing this is a touch alloy, I just need to adjust...there...

He succeeds in breaking through the protective metal skin. Rattrap waits until he cuts a big enough hole then jump kicks him away from it as the large chunk of metal falls into the tunnel. Tankor rises angry holding his clawed hands together and hits Rattrap hard and solid onto the rock walls again leaving his impression in the rock .

Tankor: Decepticons! Quickly, follow me!

The 6 Decepticons pounce into the tunnels and quickly race towards the city where they will find the source of the energy emissions, if it is a fellow Decepticon, accept it in to their fold, if it is an Autobot, destroy it.

Inside the city a reporter Donna Harding is buying a hot dog from a vendor and pondering her lack luster existence. She fumes at the fact that she always wanted to be reporter from the time she was a child and when she thought her dream has become a reality, its not what she thought it would be at all. She gets all the stupid stories like genetic plant scientist who have discovered a way to make roses live longer, like that really is a big deal and to think the silly scientist never even showed up or his interview. Why can't she get one of those stories where she can go off to another city, like Washington, L.A, Moscow, Bridgetown. Instead she is stuck with sideshow rejects and crazy scientists.

She looks across at her camera man Billy, he is a loyal boy, extremely smart but like her is waiting for his big break. He fixes his camera bot then sits in its driver's seat and presses a few buttons and it hovers and he lets out a long sigh of relief. He looks around and thinks the city is a little quiet today and that bores him. He then thinks that it is a lot better than having the aliens attack. He always wanted to see green meadows, fields of corn or the ocean, he heard many stories but like most people, have never seen, only in old movies and pictures.

Donna eats her hotdog and curses her no show scientist in her head just then a police man lands next to her in his heli-armor causing her hair to fly wild in the wind his blades stir up.

Officer Cador: Well if it isn't Ms. Donna Harding, super reporter, how have you been sugar?

Donna (annoyed): Back off Cador, and before you ask no I won't go out with you.

Officer Cador (angered): You are too judgmental Donna, just because back in high school I put laxative in your sloppy joe and embarrassed you a few times doesn't mean I haven't changed and my intentions not genuine.

Donna: Oh just shut up, don't you have some higher levels of the city to patrol and leave us poor saps down on the bottom level alone.

Officer Cador: Well I wish you the best of luck and I hope you can get better stories than a transvestite who got pregnant. Ha! Ha! Ha!

Donna: That was an amazing story, it showed medical and scientific advancements...

Just as Donna begins to freak out and is ready to let loose on Officer Cador the ground beneath them starts to shake stopping everyone in their tracks. Everyone looks around in wonderment as the ground continues to shake. Officer Cador lowers his attention to the ground beneath their feet and just then there is a large explosion a few meters behind him as the ground explodes in a blast of fire and smoke and out jumps five large robots, the Decepticons.

The sight is astounding as the smoke and dust begins to clear and all that everyone's eyes are fixed on are these five monstrous robots standing and scanning their new surroundings.

Tankor: I must give it to the humans this city is a masterpiece of architecture, complex in its building but simple in it's form. So many levels...so many road ways going all the way to the top and the buildings almost reminds me of cybertron.

Airwave: We're not here to enjoy the scenery Tankor...all these humans...if I had more time I would love to crush them.

Tankor: Enough! We are the Decepticons and we are to rock your world!

Tankor uses his shoulder cannon to fire a large fireball at the hot dog concession stand causing the people to scatter as the ball explodes on impact, its force tossing the people and debris far away from the point of impact. Officer Cador flies in the air with heli-armor and attacks the Decepticons as he radios for help. Other officers on different levels of the city answer his call and race towards the scene.

Seawings, Obsidian and Airwave take to the air and fire at the road ways as they go up higher causing cars to careen out of control. Officer Cador tackles Tankor but his suit is bitten from behind by Quickstrike which causes it fly out of control and into the side of a building. Donna lies unconscious close to Tankor who is firing numerous fireballs destroying all around him and leaving the entire area in a blanket of fire hot and deadly. Billy flies over to Donna and picks her up just before Tankor steps back on her and he flies off with the camera bot and commences to tape the action and tries to awaken Donna.

Billy: Get up Donna! You are missing the hottest thing to happen to us...Ever!

On the higher levels the other police heli-armor clad officers attack the three airborne Decepticons. Obsidian unleashes a barrage of missiles blowing up buildings and injuring officers.

Tankor and Quickstrike walk through the cities lower streets and cause havok beyond anything the city has seen for a very long time. Billy tapes the scene and laughs to himself. Quickstrike notices he is watching fires a poison blast at the camera bot but Billy maneuvers out if its way. Quickstrike grows angry and unleashes a rapid fire and Billy is pushed to his limit with the camera bot trying to avoid being hit. Donna comes to slowly but is quickly awoken when she sees Billy lead Quickstrike's fire to Tankor. Tankor quickly looks around and sees the poison beam coming towards him and fires a fire ball and the two collide and explode in midair and the shock wave forces the camera bot to go out of control and the two humans scream in fear as the grab hold of each other.

Tankor: Watch where you are firing Quickstrike or I will be forced to smash you like the bug you are.

Quickstrike: Tough words artillery wagon, try it and you'll see this tarantula has nastier bite than a king cobra!

Rattrap rises out of the hole in the street and looks around in awe at the largeness of the city and in concern at the level of destruction and ruin the city is being reduced to. He looks up to the sky and sees gun fire and missile explosions and then looks further up the city streets and sees more explosions. Turbofire, Sideswipe and Hardhead rise out of the hole behind him and they all stand in awe at the city.

Turbofire: Well we can see the human were quite well off while we were gone. This city is beautiful...well except for the fact that it looks like it has gone through the great battle and look at that, the battle seems to be still going on.

Hardhead: Rattrap, Turbofire you take the left road and try to get to the source of the emissions. Sideswipe and I will try to head off The Decepticons on the ground.

Rattrap transforms into his rat beast mode then into his roadster mode and rolls out, Turbofire transforms into his vehicle mode and drives off as well. Hardhead and Sideswipe transform and follow the trail of destruction to try and head off Tankor and Quickstrike.

Hardhead and Sideswipe are attacked by police in heli-armor who mistake them for Decepticons. Sideswipe puts in his after burn and races on the side of buildings and jumps over overturned cars and debris with the police in tow. Hardhead uses the straight approach and rams through all the debris while he avoids the police fire.

Sideswipe: You'll never catch me coppers! Ha! I always wanted to say that. Woo Wee, lets burn rubber see if you nice clad officers can catch me.

Sideswipe speeds up and races down the street until he runs into Tankor and Quickstrike who are not at all pleased to see him.

Quickstrike: If it isn't Jimbo...You enjoying your transformer body? I think it is time we separate you from it.

Sideswipe: Watch you mouth snake breath, touch the body lose your head

Sideswipe transforms into robot mode rifle in hand and fires at Quickstrike. Quickstrike transforms into beast mode to avoid the blasts then rushes up to Sideswipe who lowers his aim and fires at the ground. He quickly transforms into his Lamborghini vehicle mode and drives over Quickstrike.

Sideswipe: Oops! I think I ran over something! Ha! Ha!...

Tankor stops him right in his tracks as the police bear down on the both of them from above. Hardhead drives in firing his cannon striking Tankor. Billy gets the camera back up in the air and Donna is enthusiastic to make this story her big break.

Donna: Come on Billy get me a clear shot...right here will be great, I can see the robots fighting and the police firing, this is great. This is your reporter Donna Harding from WNN webcast news...

Obsidian and Seawings notice Rattrap and Turbofire racing towards the source of the emissions and leave their havoc behind to out run the Autobots. They are cut off by the police and dogfight further commences.

In the tallest building in the city a dark figure watches the activities further up the city from a wind on the top floor. A lady dressed a red dress comes up behind him.

Lady in Red Dress: Don't you think we should do something? it is our job sir.

Dark figure: No my dear! I have what they came for, I will let them have it for now.

Rattrap transforms then takes out a scrambler bomb to buy them some time as Turbofire races off towards the source. Rattrap takes it out and tries to activate it but Obsidian fires his lasers knocking it out of his hands.

Hardhead and Tankor both in robot mode wrestle violently tossing each other into buildings as Donna and Billy get it all on camera.

Donna: This is the best thing that has every happened to me.

More police appear on the scene as the entire city is on red alert and the world watches the action from Donna's webcast.

Turbofire tries to out run Seawings who is right on his tail. Seawings fires three missiles which all explode in front of Turbofire breaking the road beneath causing him to fall in. He looks around and notices he is in some type of warehouse. He quickly takes out his scanner and realizes that the source is in there with him. He walks around until he comes upon an extremely large block of ice in a machine containment unit. The scanner goes frantic when he points it towards the block of ice.

Turbofire: So this is the source...in a block of ice...oh well I guess I will have to thaw it out.

Turbofire attaches a device that sends surges or heat through the block and it begins to crack. Before he can look around Seawings rams him knocking him on to trucks in the warehouse.

Seawings: I am hungry little one, I think it is time I eat you.

Sideswipe and Quickstrike are in a gun battle with each other and the police. Sideswipe: Getting tired Fuzor, I can go at it forever and you still won't hit me.

Quickstrike: Keep talking road trash and you might not see me coming.

Quickstrike uses his cobra hand to grab on to a police officer and swing onto top it then jump down on top Sideswipe. As the two wrestle Quickstrike gets the upper hand and his cobra arm wraps itself around Sideswipe and bites him on his arm. Sideswipe manages to kick Quickstrike off of him but is weakened by the poison and collapses.

Hardhead sees Sideswipe fall and his attention is distracted for a few seconds giving Tankor the time uses his saw and cut Hardhead on his left arm. Hardhead grabs his arm which is nearly severed and quickly avoids Tankor's other slashes. He then falls onto his side and swipes Tankor off his feet and as Tankor jumps back to his feet Hardhead jumps up and side kicks him away into a building. Quickstrike rushes off to finish off an injured Hardhead as the police surround the them

Rattrap uses his whip to grab the device before Obsidian gets it then uses the whip which grabs Obsidian by the head and Rattrap pulls his whip to cause Decepticon to spin like a top.

Rattrap: How do you like me now, Mozart! Ha! I am the baddest bot...

Airwave shoots the device in his hand causing it to explode prematurely and a shock wave spreads out for 30 meters knocking Rattrap, Obsidian and Airwave unconscious and also causes the police heli-armor to shut down.

Turbofire not intending to go down easy pulls his engine gun and fires at Seawings then quickly runs behind one of the trucks as Seawings fires back tearing the truck apart. Turbofire flips from behind his hiding spot firing as he somersaults, then landing on his feet transforming into vehicle mode and driving quickly towards Seawings getting him off guard. As soon as Seawings moves to retaliate Turbofire transforms into robot mode and jumps kicks his enemy. Seawings grabs Turbofire's leg then spins him around then releasing him into the breaking ice block. He then grabs the Autobot and commences to rams his head into the ice helping it to break.

Seawings: I'll give you a headache you will never forget.

Turbofire, too damaged from the constant ramming, can't retaliate but just as he thinks he can't hold onto consciousness the block begins to rumble, then blow apart knocking the two transformers across the floor with large pieces of ice falling all around them, one piece falls on Seawings' head knocking back to the ground when he was attempting to rise to his feet.

Turbofire looks in awe at the large truck that was encased in the ice, he recognizes it is an Autobot, a large car transport.

Turbofire: Its not out of stasis lock yet.

He rushes to the truck and touches it Autobot insignia on the front of its fender. His Autobot sign on his back begins to glow and the so does the one on the truck. Seawings grabs him from behind and tosses him away across the room.

Seawings: Too bad this isn't a Decepticon, it looks like a big piece of work. Now I've got to reduce it to scrap metal.

Ultra Magnus: Ultra Magnus transform!

Seawings: What in Lord Neptune's name?

The large car transport transforms in to the mighty Autobot Ultra Magnus. Seawings backs off staring up at him in awe.

Seawings: No! Not you! The great Ultra Magnus, I will make sure neither of you two leave here.

Seawings aims is guns at the roof of the warehouse and fires at it bringing the roof down on them. Ultra Magnus engages his back boosters and quickly flies off grabbing Turbofire and breaking to the surface.

Turbofire: The great Ultra Magnus! Wow its an honor... well I have never seen this form of you but I fought with a version of Ultra Magnus before but anyway we are sorta not on Cybertron anymore we're in an alternate dimension and...

Ultra Magnus: Sounds like a very insightful story but I think we have company.

Obsidian and Airwave awaken and notices the large Autobot hovering close with Turbofire in his arms. They quickly transform and fire at him. Ultra Magnus fires four beams from guns on the side of his face into Obsidian's front gun causing it to explode and he crashes to the ground. Airwave fires at him from behind so he floats horizontally and uses his back pack to create a big blast behind him hitting Airwave, setting him on fire and he falls to the ground.

Rattrap: Hey don't forget me!

Ultra Magnus: An Autobot?

Turbofire: Well a Maximal, a long story but he's one of us.

Ultra Magnus grabs Rattrap and blasts off down towards the ground level where they find the police and the press. Tankor stands above a defeated Hardhead as he sees Ultra Magnus blast down to the ground, putting Rattrap and Turbofire to the ground. He then blasts past Tankor and Quickstrike knocking them to the ground, he then blasts into the air and pulls out Blue Bolts his large gun, transforming it into cannon mode and blasts the two Decepticons away.

More police arrive on the scene from further down town and the Autobots are in no state to fight or defend themselves.

Ultra Magnus: Autobots, I know you're all injured but we can't remain here, there is a lot of damage and we need to regain our strengths, So lets transform and move out!

Hardhead and Sideswipe injured rise and transform, Rattrap and Turbofire follow suit and Ultra Magnus transforms and drives ahead of them opening his hatch and the Autobots drive into his car transport and he races away.

Tankor rises and sees the Autobots drive off he orders the Decepticons to move out and they all transform and scatter across the city to repair their injuries.

Donna (reporting): As you all have seen here today on this WNN webcast, first on the scene, this was a battle of epic proportions, these great robots bare the insignias of the great Autobot and Decepticon armies that once shared this planet with us, orphaned from their reality and taking refuge in ours, some helping us to be where we are today and others hell bent on destroying us. Although the city has undergone great damage we must ask ourselves is this the beginning of something more? Will scenes like these become the norm? If yes can we survive both them and the alien threat that looms above? We hope these questions can be answered but only time can tell. This is Donna Harding reporting for WNN webcast news.

The dark figure looks out at the fires and chaos as the police and fire authorities try to put things back in order and he smiles.

Lady in red dress: You were right about the truck sir.

Dark figure: Of course I was, the Transformers are back and this is only the beginning.
