"Hiya!", Sari cried, as she hit Prowl's leg and fell down, not doing anything to him. "Ow.", Prowl sighed and face-palmed.

"Sari, you need to concentrate.", Prowl said. "Give her a break, Prowl.", Bulkhead said, as he helped her up.

"Humans don't have turbo balance thrusters.", Serenity said, as she approached. "Or padded bumpers.", Sari said, as she rubbed her butt.

"I'm afraid Prowl's right. As keeper of the key, she is a potential target of the Decepticons. Which means she must learn how to defend herself.", Optimus stated, concerned for his little friend. "We won't always be there to protect you. Now, try it again.", Prowl commanded.

"And try thrusting with your legs a bit more like this.", Serenity demonstrated. "How have I know how long and didn't know you could pull off moves like that?", Bumblebee asked, as he watched Serenity.

"Got it this time no worries.", Sari said triumphantly. But, when she went to kick, she missed Prowl and hit Bulkhead.

After falling down, Sari let out a frustrated growl. Bulkhead saw this and tried to make her feel better by jumping up and down on one leg yelling, "Oh, the pain. What a kick!"

But, only succeeded in knocking over a bunch of boxes. "Too much?", Bulkhead asked.

Sari stood at her window practicing. "You want a piece of this, Decitacreep? Take that and that. I'll deal with you in the morning punk.", Sari yawn and went to bed.

But, when she turned off the light, something flew over, creating a shadow. Sari stepped out onto the porch, but what awaited her there left her with only one word.

"Cool.", Sari said, in awe. There stood the robot Pterodactyl, but fear quickly sped through Sari, as it opened it's wings.

Isaac Sumdac stood outside her door knocking with milk and cookies. But, when no answer came, he looked inside to find Sari missing and the place a mess.

"Serenity, Bulkhead, Ratchet, Bumblebee, Prowl! Professor Sumdac just called, Sari is missing.", Optimus yelled out, as they all transformed and drove off. "No sign of her yet, Captain. We've got squad cars searching the streets and miny subs checking the river. We're questioning the father now but he says he didn't see anything.", a police man reported.

"Keep searching the girl's room. I'll let you know what I find on the security vids. Hang on, I got another call.", Captain Fanzone said, as he tried to work his phone. "This is Fanzone.", Captain Fanzone said.

"Still me, Captain.", the police officer told him. "Oh, hang on.", Captain Fanzone said, as he tried again.

"Yo, Fanzone here.", Captain Fanzone said. "Still me, Captain.", the police officer said back.

Fanzone then let out a frustrated grunt, as he squeezed his phone. "Hello!", Captain Fanzone shouted out, in frustration.

"Still me.", the police officer said. "THIS IS WHY I HATE MACHINES!!!", Captain Fanzone yelled into the phone.

"No need to be such a technophobe, Captain.", Prowl stated, as the others stood behind him. "A technophobe is someone who fears technology... DOES THIS LOOK LIKE FEAR TO YOU!", Captain Fanzone yelled, as he smashed his phone on the floor.

"Uh, my mistake.", Prowl said. "Heard any news on Sari?", Optimus questioned.

"Sumdac said she spent the day with you guys yesterday. Anything out of the ordinary happen?", Fanzone asked. "Just the usual stuff, hanging out, teaching her ninja nerve blows, watching cartoons.", Bulkhead answered, before Serenity elbowed him slightly.

"Whoa, back up what was that?", Captain Fanzone asked. "Watching cartoons.", Bulkhead replied.

"No, before that.", Captain Fanzone said. "Ninja nerve blows.", Bulkhead said.

Serenity and Captain Fanzone both facepalmed. "You're teaching a eight year old ninja nerve blows?", Captain Fanzone asked.

"You want her to pick it up in the street?", Ratchet questioned. "This is part of every protoforms elemental programming.", Prowl stated.

"Say what?", Captain Fanzone asked. "And she is in a protected place.", Serenity said, stepping up.

"Yeah, it's not like were having her fight Decepticons.", Bulkhead defended. "Yet.", Prowl corrected.

"Oh, that will be the day. She's still a kid, Prowl.", Serenity stated. "Has it ever occurred to you all that hanging out with Autobots, I don't know, could be dangerous for a little girl?", Captain Fanzone asked them.

All the Autobots looked at each other, a little offended. "Define dangerous?", Bulkhead asked.

Then, something passed on the security monitor. "Wait a minute! Roll that back.", Optimus commanded.

"Sure thing, doll face.~", the front robot desk lady said. "Is she flirting?", Serenity questioned to herself, slightly annoyed.

"Oh come on, Serenity. You know Optimus has a special place in his spark for you.", Ratchet teased, causing Serenity to send him an annoyed look. On the camera, a pterodactyl flew over.

"Is that one of the Dinobots?", Optimus asked. "The robot dinosaurs? Impossible!", Ratchet stated.

"We never did find out what happened to them after they escaped.", Optimus stated. Serenity then moved back to Prowl and Bulkhead.

"Do you think we atta tell Prime?", Bulkhead asked, leaning in closer. "What? That we moved the Dinobots to island and never bothered to mention it to him?", Prowl asked him, sarcastically.

"No thank you.", Serenity said, crossing her arms. "But, Sari could be in trouble.", Bulkhead said.

"This is my responsibility. I will go to the Dinobots.", Prowl stated. "Oh no, not without me.", Bulkhead said.

"Without us.", Serenity corrected. "Fine, we'll head for the island after dark.", Prowl said.

"Nothing in her room, Captain.", a police officer informed. Captain Fanzone then spotted the trio out of the corner of his eye.

"That's okay, I think I just got a new lead on the case. I'm going to follow this one on my own.", Captain Fanzone said. Prowl hit the chain holding the boat, while Serenity started the engine, starting them off toward Dinobot Island.

Little did they know that they had someone watching them. Captain Fanzone watched them from his sub look out.

"Don't know what you tin cans are up to. But, I'm as shore as shoe shine going to find out.", Captain Fanzone said to himself. Then, Prowl and Bulkhead looked in his direction.

"Uh oh, down periscope.", Captain Fanzone said. Then, a alarm started going off, and a screen turned on saying hatch open.

"Oh no.", Captain Fanzone stated. Then, the hatch opened as the water started to pour in.

"This is why I hate, blub, blub.", Captain Fanzone started to said, but was cut off as the sub started to sink. "I don't understand why the Dinobots would abduct Sari.", Prowl said, as they started walking on the island.

"They only want to be left in peace.", Prowl continued. "When I'm done with them they're going to left in pieces.", Bulkhead said, smashing his hands together.

"We can't judge a situation until all the pieces have been placed together.", Serenity said, as they walked. Prowl then looked down at something on a rock.

"Tracks?", Bulkhead asked. "Yes, but not the Dinobots. Someone else has been on this island.", Prowl stated.

"I think I know those foot prints.", Serenity said, as she leaned in next to Prowl. Meanwhile, a wet and cranky Fanzone finally made it to the island.

"I knew we shouldn't have let those Dinobots loose. What if somebody finds them here?", Bulkhead asked, as they approached where Prowl had place the hologram. As Prowl turned it off, they see no one is there.

"That does not appear to be a issue at the moment.", Prowl replied. "They're gone?", Bulkhead questioned.

"But, where could they have gone? It's not like they are really stealthy or something. If they went back to the mainland, someone would have seen them.", Serenity summed up. "Our visitors seem lost, perhaps we should give them a hand.", Meltdown stated, as he watched the Autobots.

"No Sari and no Dinobots? What if they hurt her?! We should have let Sumdac melt them down like he wanted to!", Bulkhead yelled, in frustration, as he stomped on the ground, causing Serenity and Prowl to jump up and down a little. "No, they had a spark! We had to save them!" Prowl argued.

"So, who's going to save Sari?" Bulkhead asked. "We will. But, getting mad isn't going to help anyone. You're not the only worried Bulkhead. Sari has become like a little sister to me and let me tell you. As soon as we find out who took her, I'm going into overly protective mode.", Serenity assured.

As they started to leave, Captain Fanzone is seen following them. But, when they hiked up the hill, Bulkhead tripped over a log causing it to fall toward Fanzone.

Then, he went tumbling down the hill trying to get away. Meanwhile, Meltdown and Colossus watch from the monitors, with Sari in a cage near by.

"You guys are in big trouble now. I told you they would find me.", Sari said, in a cocky tone. "Just say the word and I'll pound them into scrap metal, boss.", Colossus said.

"Not yet, Colossus Roads. I have other plans for our cybernetic friends.", Meltdown said, as Sari disagreed. "Yeah right! You guys might as well get measured for your orange jump suits right now. Hope you like prison food.", Sari scoffed.

This caused Colossus to compete with Sari in a growling match, but he ended up winning by turning huge. "Okay, you win.", Sari said.

Prowl, Bulkhead, and Serenity continued to search for Sari. "Watch it! Quick sand.", Prowl warned, as they walked by.

"I see it. You would have to be a real glitch head to get caught in that.", Bulkhead commented. "Unless you weren't looking where you going and had your focus on something else.", Serenity commented, which is exactly what happened to Captain Fanzone, as he fell in and started calling for help.

"That sounded like Captain Fanzone.", Prowl stated, as they turned around and walked back to see him stuck in the sand. "I do a really good impression of myself screaming for help!", Fanzone said, sarcastically, as he reached out for help.

"What are you doing here?", Bulkhead questioned. "Sinking! Get me out!", Fanzone replied.

Bulkhead then sent his battering ram between two trees and Fanzone grabbed onto the rope, as he made his way to Prowl, who was reaching for him. "How did you get here?", Serenity asked.

"More important, why are you following us?", Prowl asked, as he helped him out. "I'll ask the questions here. Starting with what are you three doing on a abandoned island research facility in the middle of Lake Eerie?", Fanzone asked them.

The three just looked as each other and then Serenity stepped forward. "Classified.", Serenity replied.

"Oh, is that how it's going to be, Princess?", Fanzone asked, sarcastically. "That is, until you answer some of our questions. The best way for us to work together is to trust each other.", Prowl replied.

"If hadn't notice, I have a hard time trusting machines.", Fanzone said. "I believe it is time to greet our intruders personally.", Meltdown stated, as he headed for the exit.

"Rode's, see that our guest is comfortable.", Meltdown commanded. When Meltdown was gone, Colossus turned to Sari.

"You're friends are toast. What do you got to say for yourself now?", Colossus tauntingly said. "I have to go potty.", Sari said.

"Again?", Colossus asked her. "I'm a little girl! That's what I do.", Sari replied.

"What's with the holographic trees? And what does this island have to do with the Sumdac kid anyway? There's something you're not telling me!", Fanzone said, angrily. "No, can't think of anything.", Bulkhead lied.

Then, they all stopped. "Okay, maybe that.", Bulkhead said, as he pointed behind Fanzone.

There stood the Dinobots. "Someone want to tell me what those things are doing here?", Fanzone asked.

"Captain, remain still. Let me deal with the Dinobots. They trust me.", Prowl ordered. As he stepped closer, Serenity moved to protect the captain.

"I don't need a machine's protection.", Fanzone said, as Serenity stepped away from him. "Suit yourself.", Serenity said.

"It's alright. It's me, Prowl. The one who brought you here.", Prowl said. "INTRUDERS! Me Grimlock destroy!", Grimlock roared, as they attacked.

The Pterodactyl pounced on Prowl, knocking him down and Serenity jumped away. It then tried to hit Bulkhead, but he moved out of the way.

"So much for trust.", Bulkhead said. "I don't understand.", Prowl wondered, as the captain yelled in fear, as Grimlock stepped closer to him.

"Oh no.", Fanzone said. "Need some help now?", Serenity asked, smugly.

Grimlock then went to bite, but Bulkhead threw his battering ram into his mouth. "Seems pretty straight forward to me!", Bulkhead yelled, as Prowl grabbed the captain and flew up with him.

"The Dinobots took Sari and now they're trying to destroy us!", Bulkhead continued. Grimlock then went to attacked Serenity, as she moved out of his way to where he hit his head on a tree.

"I don't want to hurt you, Grimlock.", Serenity said, as he got up. "Grimlock stop!", Prowl shouted out.

But, the Triceratops turned at Prowl and blew flames at him. "Why are you doing this?", Prowl asked, as he took flight.

Bulkhead then used his ram to hit Grimlock into the Triceratops. "Because they're mean, and dumb, and we should have never helped them escape!", Bulkhead yelled, as Serenity used her powers pushed up a piece of ground over them trapping them under the trees.

"You help them escape?", Fanzone asked. Prowl only told him to hang on, as the Pterodactyl attacked, causing Prowl to let go of the captain, who grabbed onto his leg.

Prowl then noticed something the dinosaur's legs. "Acid burns? Is someone making you do this? Someone who's touch can melt your armor plating?", Prowl asked.

"Tell us what you have done with Sari!", Bulkhead yelled, as he threw a tree at the Pterodactyl, who then released Prowl. Causing them both to fall toward the charging Triceratops, who got out from under the trees.

"Prowl! Look out!", Serenity called. Prowl then transformed and had the captain grab him.

Serenity then used her wand to guide them to a place where they could get away. "Transform and roll out!", Serenity commanded, as they all transform and drove.

"Did you really just say that?", Bulkhead asked her. "Don't tell Optimus.", Serenity commanded, as the Dinobots freed themselves.

"Destroy intruders!", Grimlock yelled out. But, as they drove, the group came to a dead end.

"We're trapped.", Bulkhead stated. "An excellent assessment!", Meltdown yelled from on top of the wall.

"Prometheus Black?", Fanzone asked. "The name is Meltdown.", Meltdown corrected him.

"What do you got to do with all this?", Fanzone asked. "He has the motive to kidnap Sari. He hates the professor.", Serenity stated.

"Correct. He has everything to do with it. He's controlling the Dinobots and used them to take Sari. I saw his acid burns on their outer casing.", Prowl stated. "Very well observed. It's true, the Dinobots have learned to respect my touch.", Meltdown said. 

The Dinobots then coward at his words. "Me Grimlock sorry. Meltdown hurt Dinobots.", Grimlock apologized. 

Serenity gave him a sympathy glance and smile. "They serve as effective, if somewhat over qualified, watch dogs. It was quite nice finding a island with it's own security system. Just when I was in need of a little privacy to conduct some unique experiments.", Meltdown gloated. 

"Where's Sari?!", Serenity yelled out, trying to keep her cool, as her eyes took a red blaze to them. "What have you done with her?!", Bulkhead yelled, turning his hand into a wrecking ball. 

"Yes, the little girl. My newest experimental subject.", Meltdown said. That is when Serenity saw nothing, but red. 

"YOU WORTHLESS SCRAP HEEP!!!", Serenity exclaimed, as her body took on her other form with the sharp points surrounding her body. "Since when had that happen?", Fanzone asked, as Serenity shot at Meltdown. 

Bulkhead then charged at Meltdown. But, Meltdown used his acid to hit Bulkhead in the chest, causing him to yell out in pain.

Serenity then came out of her daze, as she and the others tried to run to Bulkhead's side. But, Meltdown pushed a button, causing the floor to drop from under them.

"Sorry, but I have other plans for you. Especially the princess.", Meltdown stated. Prowl then woke up to Fanzone on top of him and Serenity having his hand in her lap.

"Prowl, are you okay?", they both asked. "The fall must have jammed my sensory circuits.", Prowl stated, as he got up.

"How did you not get hurt?", Prowl asked Fanzone. "The princess protected me from the fall.", Fanzone replied.

Prowl then looked at Serenity leaning more on her left leg than her right. "You good?", Prowl asked.

"I think I twisted it in the fall. But, I'm not in as bad shape as Bulkhead. We need to get to him.", Serenity replied. "Bulkhead! Where is Bulkhead?", Prowl asked.

"Still top side. I think they got us in some kind of underground holding pen.", Fanzone answered. "We must find Sari and get her to Bulkhead. Meltdown's nearly put him offline. Her key is the only thing that might save him.", Serenity said.

"Yeah, but these walls are military grade steel and those lasers... You get the idea.", Fanzone said, as he pointed to the door with the lasers. "There must be a way out, we have to get to Bulkhead.", Prowl stated, as he pulled out his ninja stars and threw them at the door, only to have them explode.

"Let me try something.", Serenity said, as she tried using her wand to create a force field in the lasers, pulling them away to make a small hole. "It's working!", Prowl cheered.

"It's taking a lot of concentration.", Serenity said, while struggling. Suddenly, acid is shot at Serenity, who jumped away and is hit with a taser that came out of the wall behind her.

"Serenity!", Prowl called. But then, the floor dropped out from under her and Serenity fell into another room and closed. "I'm afraid your two friends will have to wait.", Meltdown said, as he watched from above.

"Meltdown, where is Sari and Serenity? Why have you taken them?", Prowl questioned. "My goal is quite simple really. After our last encounter, I reasoned if a machine can change form, why not a human?", Meltdown replied.

"Let me get this straight. You want to create a transforming human?", Fanzone asked. "Exactly! A person capable of taking on any shape or form at will. Sadly, my experiments to date have been somewhat less that successful. The one to the left used to be my lawyer. Luckily, I soon realized my error. Adult test subjects. What I needed was a human that was still growing.", Meltdown explained.

"Sari.", Prowl realized. "Who better that to do it on than my arch rival? The pain of my insistence, the simpering fool, who is unworthy to lick the mud off the heels of my platform shoes. Professor Isaac Sumdac. Poetic, no?", Meltdown continued.

"Poetic, is not exactly the word that comes to mind. You are one seriously twisted fruitcake!", Fanzone yelled. "What about Serenity?", Prowl asked.

"The princess robot. At first, I just wanted one of you to dissect. But, a new meaning had comes to me, when I saw her other transformation. What is the cause of that, I wonder? She might be the key to me perfecting my experiments. She is a new kind of transformation, she didn't turn into a car or plane. Her body formed! It
