Akari jumpped in. "So how many of these Protoforms are there?
"The exact number? 450. But I'm guessing alot are broken up..." Bee said as Daiku climbed in.
Optimus transformed and drove after them, Sureshot following suit. "And we can't afford to let them fall into Megatron's hands."
"Alright, so let me ask something," said Akari. "What is the Ark and why did you send several hundred baby Transformers out into the universe?"
"The Ark is like a sort of gigantic escape ship." Bee said, following the others. "Our planet was dying, and we needed to escape. We brought Protoforms to be the future of our kind. There... there was an accident. Our ship had to release the Protoforms. They... landed here."
"The Decepticons attacked and we were forced to send the Ark into hyper space to keep it out of their hands," said Optimus. "Not only would it be bad for the Protoforms, it'd have given Megatron an entire army had he gotten his claws on them."
"Maybe there are more around the place? Is there... like... Small Transformers? They could be hidden around."
"The Minicons," said Optimus. "They're a smaller race of Transformers we have a symbiotic relationship with, we keep them safe and in exchange they help do things we're too large to accomplish on our own."
"At least that's how us Autobots do it, the Decepticons just enslave them," said Jetfire, disgust in his voice.
"That Kia Robot had bazzilions on him." Daily noted.
"Soundwave, and those weren't minicons, they're what you could call his pets," explained Optimus. "They're his loyal minions that follow his command. Soundwave is Megatron's most loyal servant."
"And who was the jet guy?"
"Starscream," explained Jetfire simply. "He's one of the most powerful Decepticons, but also the most whily. He's been after Megatron's throne for years now, Megatron keeps him there to keep himself on his toes, and because he's tough. Megatron keeps Soundwave as his eyes and ears, Starscream is his double bladed sword that is his strongest ally but keeps him on his toes when employing him."
"Right... and why did the war start?"
"If all these happy memories don't need me, I'll look around for some other Protoforms."
"Megatron became obcessed with power and decided to try and grab it for himself," said Optimus Prime. "And a war began between his followers and those who stood against his tyranny."
