This takes place in live-action, like the movies, not animated)

The story begins on Cybertron. Autobots and Decepticons fight for a substance known as Energon. It had many uses, and the Decepticons wished to use it for their ultimate plan. A massive planet-eating-planet named Unicron. Now, a being stood, in the control center on Cybertron. His name was Optimus Prime, and he was the leader of the Autobots. He knew something, but he couldn't tell anyone. A planet known as Earth, was filled with energon. It generated it from it's core, surrounded in what the inhabitants called magma. He knew that he had to lead his Autobots to Earth. Easy enough. The hard part was not harming the humans, as they might harm the Autobots. The other hard part was not alerting the Decepticons, rules by the ruthless Megatron, about the whereabouts of this energon.

So, how was he going to go about getting the energon? Firstly, he would gather his team, and land in an area not highley populated by the humans. He wuld then have his construction team build a refinery to mine the energon.

As he stood in the autobot meeting area, a select group of beings walked in. These were his most trusted autobots teamates, and also some of the most powerful. They would go down with him to earth, to find the energon. As he looked at them, he began to speak proudly. "Today, we start a new change. Be wary, my friends, this is a very dangerous and special mission. We cannot make any mistakes. I do not know what Earth is like, but we must do this. Hot Shot..."
One being moved out of the line and lookd at Optimus.
"Yes Optimus?"
"I want you to go down first and scout ahead. Report back to me with your findings and let me know if it is safe to land."
"Why me, sir?"
"You are courageous and brave, and I think you can handle this. Or should I send someone else in your place?"
"No, sir. I will do my task."

Hot shot leaped into a small chamber. It shot him out so fast he didn't know what happened. He was now in protoform, hurtling towards Earth, looking like a meteor.

Bill Murphey, was a forest ranger. Now he absolutley loved nature. The animals, the trees, the air, the colors, all of it. Most importantly, he was interested in insects. For some reason, he loved them since he was a kid. Now he looked at a small, scurring creature in the sand. "Hey little fella." He said. It was a small scorpion, black in color, with it's stinger raised above it's back, and it's claws clutched. "Where are you going..." Bill said to the small creature, intreiged at the speed the scorpion was moving. "You must really have been spooked!" Then bill thought of something. Most times, Scorpions ran at the sight of something that looked like them, only more powerful. so what could that mean? A bigger scorpion? He jumped at the thought, and sat down in his car, a Ford Ranger. It was dark green, with mud spatters along the rims. He drove along the dirt path, hoping to see something interesting(like a big scorpion!). But at that moment, he almost jumped through the roof of his car like the passenger ejector. A screech came out of nowhere. This wasn't a simple Chimpanzee, this was LOUD. It was so liud, in fact, every window in his ranger shattered to grains the size of sand in piles on the ground and floor of the truck. He looked around, and hit the brake. He pulled into reverse, going back to the cabin with the other Rangers.

He never made it back.

Hot Shot looked around. His trip had been fine. He landed in an ocean, cold at that, and was now searching for something to help him blend in. He was looking acros the street(hidden in the trees), at a car dealer. He scanned a vehicle, and transformed. Kelly, a 14 year old girl, very pretty, with long blonde hair, looked across the street, as a yellow Lotus Elise seemed to blast out of the bushes. Where it came from she didn't know, but it was heading somewhere in a hurry.

Ranger Frank Hermad was devastated. His best friend, Bill Murphey, had been found dead just a short while ago. Ranger Joe Klik was even more confused as he looked at the sight ahead of him. Bill was bloated and very odd looking. Something wasn't right about him...then there was the car. Split right in half down the midle on the side, the front end smashed, the back end torn apart. And huge crawling tracks lead to and from the vehicle. The Ranger that found him says it was most likely a stampede of something, but Joe knew different. Nothing human or animal could do that. He pondered on his thoughts.
Suddenly, Frank who was next to him jumped up. "What?" Joe asked him.
"You didn't hear that?" Frank asked.
"No I....ahhh AHHH!"
An ear pieceing screech came, and the windows to the shack disenegrated. Joe looked at the sight before him. Never had he seen something that terrifing! It was a----
