"Dude! I feel like a total noob. I mean, you're Isaac Sumdac, your the old guys who started the whole robot revolution thing. I grew up tinkering with your bots. And now I work for you! It's too wild, huh!? You also know Princess Serenity, too! Do you think I could get her autograph?", a man said, with purple hair and a lab coat, who was shaking the professor's hand, as if it was a school bell. When the professor finally managed to free his hand.
"Well, thank you. And yes, I know the princess. But, she doesn't like giving out autographs. But, back to the matter at hand. I must say, I have been hearing great things from project managers about this wiz kid, Henry Masterson. You have a new research and development idea?", Mr. Sumdac praised. "Oh yeah, it totally kicks. I call the head master unit.", Masterson said, as he threw off the cloak that was hiding his invention.
Then a robot came behind the pair as Masterson prepared his demonstration on the robot. "Now, say your in battle and your war robot runs out of ammo...", Masterson said, as he put on a sort of helmet and went into the head master unit, causing it to fly up and over to the machine.
"Did you say war-bot?", Sumdac asked, clearly not pleased. The master unit then used a small laser to cut off the robots head replace it with the head master unit.
Sealing itself on the robot. "You can use the head master unit to grab a new war bot.", Masterson continued.
As Sumdac dogged the robots head, he yelled out, "You said it again!" Masterson then fired up the rocket on the back of the machine.
"Wait, this part totally rocks! Ownage! Total Ownage! The enemy gets fragged by their own rockets!", Masterson said. "Mr. Masterson! I have told my staff time and again! We do not make military robots or head master units that take over other military robots, for more military things!", Sumdac yelled out.
"I know but, but this is cool!", Masterson told him. The robot then began to shake as the head master unit was to heavy, as it collapse the rocket went flying off.
"Sweet!", Masterson laughed, as he tumbled out of the machine. "There is nothing sweet about it! That rocket is heading for the city! Oh, and by the way your fired!", Sumdac shouted out.
Meanwhile, Bulkhead and Serenity were having a interview with a robot reporter. "Tell me, Bulkhead. As the most imposing and potentially destructive of the Autobots, do you ever fear for the untold damage afflicted on the unsuspecting city?", one reporter asked.
"Wait! I thought we were going to talk about why people shouldn't be afraid of me. That I was as gentle as a... Really gentle thing.", Bulkhead said. "Yeah, Bulkhead's a really great guy! He wouldn't anybody, intentionally.", Serenity defended.
Bulkhead then went to grab the microphone, but ended up breaking the hand off the robot, Serenity face palmed. "Sorry, I know I may be big and crush stuff, accidentally. But I have a sensitive side too.", Bulkhead said.
Then, Optimus started to call Bulkhead and Serenity. "Serenity, Bulkhead! We have a situation. We have a run away rocket heading toward down town. We're on our way, but we won't make it in time!", Optimus told them.
"I'm on it, Boss bot.", Bulkhead said. He then went to give the microphone back, but dropped it.
"Sorry. Serenity, can you cover this?", Bulkhead asked her. He then transformed and drove off.
Serenity looked at the people surrounding her, wanting to get an autograph. "Oh please, princess! Sign this.", one person said.
"Uh...", Serenity just said, nervously. "No! Me first!", a little girl said.
"I have been waiting for ever.", another person said. "Uh... Oh, wow! What was that, Optimus? You want me to help Bulkhead? I'm on it.", Serenity said, as she pretended her crush was calling her.
She then quickly drove off after Bulkhead. "Bulkhead! Wait for me!", Serenity called out.
When Bulkhead saw the rocket, he quickly transformed and used his wrecking ball the throw a car at the robot. But, as Bulkhead swung the ball, he wrecked to whole area.
The rest of the Autobots arrived on the scene. "Guess I kind of made a mess.", Bulkhead said.
"Uh... Well, no more than usual.", Optimus said, trying to be nice. "Where's Serenity?", Bulkhead asked, as she drove up.
"I'm here-", Serenity replied, before she stopped, as Serenity looked around. Bulkhead then looked down, in shame.
"It would have been a lot worse, if that rocket had actually hit, Bulkhead. You did save many lives. Sometimes, when you try to save lives, you can make... a small-, a minor-, a mess.", Serenity said, as she placed a comforting hand on Bulkhead's shoulder. "Never has this reporter witness such utter destruction. Such horrific carnage, as that in the wake of the Autobot, Bulkhead.", a news reporter said.
A car then came falling down on top of the reporter. A little boy looked on, in horror of the scene.
"Don't worry, little human. He's okay. See?", Bulkhead said, as he lifted the robot's head only to have it fall off right to the little boy's feet. Which resulted in the boy crying and the mother rushing to his side.
"You should be ashamed of yourself!", the mother scolded Bulkhead. He then looked down, in despair.
'Poor, Bulkhead. He's so much more than just a wrecking machine.', Serenity thought, looking at the scene. Then, an idea popped up into her head.
Using her powers, Serenity repaired the robot's and pretended it was waving at the little boy. "Hi, there. Bulkhead didn't mean to do anything. He's awesome.", the robot said.
At this, the little boy laughed and the mother smiled. "Thank you.", the mother said.
Serenity smiled and wanted to say more about Bulkhead being great. But, she saw the fans coming closer and decided it was time to take off.
Back at the base, Sari tried cheering her big friend up. "Come on, I'm sure it wasn't that bad. You saved the city, right?", Sari said.
"After destroying half of it.", Bumblebee said. "Not helping.", Serenity told him.
Bulkhead then started sulking again. "I know! You need to be creative. You know, make stuff instead of breaking it. Like knitting, or cooking, or art.", Sari said.
"Who's art?", Bulkhead asked, confused. "It's not a who, it's a what. Art is, well, it's creating a image that means something to you.", Sari explained.
"Oh, you mean like this?", Bulkhead asked, ripping what looked like a spray paint can off of one of the assembling line to paint a picture of the team, with Optimus and Serenity in the front holding hands. "Why do you got to draw boss bot and the princess holding hands?", Bumblebee grumbled.
"Hmm... Sort of. I was thinking more emotion. Maybe you just got to see it.", Sari said, as she looked at the picture. "Well, I like it.", Serenity said, looking at the picture.
She then blushed when she saw her and Optimus holding hands. "Well, art is suppose to create emotion. So it sure is doing that too, Seri.", Sari giggled, as Serenity shot her a glare.
Sari then got her tutor bot to show Bulkhead pictures of paintings, while Serenity went to go have her training with Prowl on how to calm her emotions. "Focus, think of something that give you peace.", Prowl instructed, as Serenity sat across from him.
"Now, think of something that gives you joy.", Prowl continued. Serenity felt the edges of her lips grow into a smile, as she thought about training with Optimus in the Elite Guard, before things went down hill.
Little did her and Prowl know, was that Optimus is seen sticking his head inside the room and watching the two. 'Why couldn't she come to me, if she had problems with her past? She knows I will help her.', Optimus thought, as he saw the her smiling.
Optimus felt a hint of jealously, but then he felt a deep pain. 'Prowl would be a better match for her than I would. He's a ninja. And me, I'm just a Elite Guard drop out. She would be much more happy with him. I'll support them both in this matter, as long as she's happy.', Optimus thought, before he moved away from them.
Back with Bulkhead and Sari, Bulkhead was struggling to hold the paint brushes, until Sari got him bigger ones. They then started painting on a billboard, making Captain Fanzone not so happy about it.
They finally settled in the base, as Bulkhead tried to paint Bumblebee. But, he was actually painting his hand.
"I'm afraid I don't see the logic in trying to reproduce a image in such primitive tools.", Optimus said, trying to keep his eyes off Serenity and Prowl standing nearby. "I think it's about enjoyment, it looks relaxing. Maybe we can add art to our training, Prowl.", Serenity said, smiling at him.
"Maybe. But, I believe it's about creating something from ones imagination like this one for instance.", Prowl stated, pointing to a painting that looked like a burnt TV. "Actually, that was a accident I had with Ratchet's blow torch.", Bulkhead pointed out.
"You ask me, it's a waste of time. No bots ever save anyone with art.", Ratchet complained. "I'm not trying to save anyone. I'm just, I don't know, I'm just trying to express how I feel.", Bulkhead said, feeling frustrated.
Then, the brush broke, which caused Bulkhead to smash his tools, almost hitting Bumblebee and Serenity. As she fell, Prowl caught Serenity bridal style, causing Optimus to feel a pain in his spark.
'I needed to be the one protecting her. And I can't even do that!', Optimus thought, but was taken out of his thought by Bumblebee. "I'm guessing you were feeling anger.", Bumblebee said, laying on the ground.
"This stinks! I stink!", Bulkhead yelled out. 'You're not the only one...', Optimus thought, stealing a glance at Serenity and Prowl.
Prowl is seen still holding her. "I can't help anyone without destroying half the city. And I'm not good at art! All I'm good at is breaking stuff. I'm embarrassed for anyone to even looks at this junk.", Bulkhead said.
"And all I'm good at is messing up.", Optimus mumbled to himself. He couldn't even bare to look at Serenity and Prowl anymore.
Then, Sari came running in. "Hey, Bulkhead! Guess what? I just booked you a exhibition at a real art gallery. Isn't that exciting?!", Sari said.
With this news, Bulkhead panicked and smashed a hole though the base wall and took off. Around this time, Masterson was seen playing a punching game with his head master units, having his face on the one winning and the face of Sumdac on the one losing.
"'We don't make war bots. Oh, you are so fired.'", Masterson said, pretending to be Mr. Sumdac, as the robot that was suppose to be Sumdac fell over. "OH YEAH! Well, take that old man! If you're too much of a wuss to make head master units, I'll just have to make it myself. Yeah! DUDE! My own company! That would be so wicked sick! All I need is bags loads of cash!", Masterson said.
Then, the robot that had a picture of Masterson on it fell over. "...And a bot big enough to hold my head master unit.", Masterson continued.
He then turned on the camera to show Bulkhead, from earlier that day. Bulkhead is seen walking down the street, kicking a trash can.
"Art show? What was she thinking? I don't have enough pieces for a art show. And the ones I have stink.", Bulkhead complained. He then leaned on a light pole making it bend.
"I don't think they stink, Bulkhead.", Serenity said. "Serenity! Have you been listening this whole time?", Bulkhead asked, feeling embarrassed.
"Maybe. Bulkhead, you're my friend and the way you left made me think you needed some alone time. But, also that you needed a friend. And your art doesn't stink, I think it looks great! Hey, I found something that might help you with your art. So, once you get back, I'll show it to you.", Serenity told him. "Okay.", Bulkhead said.
But, before he could head home, something that looked like a giant plug in zapped Bulkhead, making him pass out. But, before Bulkhead could close his eyes all the way, he saw the head master unit and heard, "Total ownage!"
In the morning. "Oh, my aching processor. Hey, I feel funny.", Bulkhead said, before realizing his body was gone.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!", Bulkhead screamed. At the base.
"How do you lose an entire body? Especially one your size? It's like losing a planet or something.", Bumblebee asked. Serenity then elbowed Bumblebee.
"Bumblebee, come on. He's already having a bad day without you to make it worse.", Serenity scolded him. "I don't know. I'm just standing there and then I feel this sudden shock and then... nothing. Could this day get any worse?", Bulkhead said.
"Don't worry, Bulkhead. The police are already looking for your... body. We're on our way to help. Bumblebee, you stay here and take care of Bulkhead.", Optimus commanded. "No problem, little buddy.", Bumblebee said, patting Bulkhead's head.
"It just got worse.", Bulkhead groaned. "I'll tell you what, Bulkhead. You know how I found something to help you with your art?", Serenity asked, trying to cheer him up.
Bulkhead then tried to nod. "Well, I found these really great video's about this artist called Bob Ross. You can watch them while we're looking for your missing body.", Serenity said.
She then turned on the TV for Bulkhead, playing Bob Ross's show. Later at the base, Bumblebee was carrying Bulkhead around.
"Oh, I get it! You're tired of looking up to me. Now you know how I feel.", Bumblebee joked, setting Bulkhead up on a ladder, which he lost balance on and tumbled into a bunch of barrels. "Whoa! Bowling for Barrels! That was awesome! Let's do it again.", Bumblebee cheered.
"Uh, let's not. I don't have time for this. I still need to make art pieces for my gallery show. And I don't have hands!", Bulkhead said. "Oh, I can help! I mean, you can do it. How hard can it be?", Bumblebee said.
Later, Bumblebee had made an art piece made out of metal, with a light bulb on top. But, he forgot to turn off the blow torch.
"See, your vision and my hands. It magnificent! It's inspiring!", Bumblebee said. Then, the fire alarm stated off, as the torch caught the art piece on fire.
"It's on fire!", Bulkhead yelled out, as he tried to blow out the fire. "I got it! No problem! Where's the fire extinguisher?", Bumblebee yelled out, as he tried to put out the fire.
"Attached to Prime!", Bulkhead yelled out. "Okay, problem. Well, don't just sit there! give me a hand!", Bumblebee said.
Bulkhead just glared at him. "Right! My bad.", Bumblebee said, as he ran off and got a hose, which did put out the fire.
But, it also blew Bulkhead away. "I wish Serenity was here.", Bulkhead mumbled, as Bumblebee then tried to put his creation back together again with Bulkhead in the center.
"There.", Bumblebee said. "Uh, Bee? I'm all for one of being one with my art, but this might be taking it a little too far!", Bulkhead told him.
"I was just trying to help. You need to relax.", Bumblebee said. "What I need is a body!", Bulkhead yelled out.
"Alright! Alright! Don't lose your head!", Bumblebee said. Meanwhile, the rest of the Autobot team, police, and Professor Sumdac were at the place where Masterson was last seen playing with his robots.
"When I hear what happened to Bulkhead, I suspected my former employee, Henry Masterson, might have been involved.", Sumdac stated, as Ratchet looked at the scene before him. "I'm picking up residual Cybertronian energy. Bulkhead's body was defiantly here.", Ratchet stated.
"Well, then we're on the right track. Let's keep moving! This place gives me the creeps.", Captain Fanzone said, as the professor found the picture of him all beat up. "As well as it should, Captain. If Masterson has Bulkhead's body, it can not possibly be a good thing.", Sumdac said.
Optimus then decided it was time to call Bumblebee and Bulkhead. "Good news! We're on the trail of Bulkhead's body. We should find it... Soon.", Optimus said, still uncomfortable with the fact that Bulkhead was missing his body and how he felt about Serenity and Prowl.
"Take your time. We found a temporary body that's working just fine.", Bumblebee said, as he looked at Bulkhead, who had the tutor bot's body. Suddenly, Bulkhead started running.
"What are you doing?", Bumblebee asked. "I feel like I'm running, smashing through things. It's weird.", Bulkhead replied.
"I knew this day would come. You finally fried your circuits, if you had any to begin with.", Bumblebee commented. "I'm serious, Bumblebee. I feel it.", Bulkhead told him.
Bumblebee then got the idea to check the news. On the TV, it showed Masterson heading toward a solar fusion power core.
"Well, Bulkhead, the good news is we found your body.", Bumblebee stated, as Masterson destroyed the police drones. "I can feel everything my body's doing, but I can't stop it.", Bulkhead states, as the robot kept moving.
"Whoa! You're like a savage war bot.", Bumblebee said. Bulkhead then looked down in depression.
"Listen up, you noobs! The Headmaster, that's me, has just hacked your regularly scheduled broadcast to bring you posers some real news. This solar fusion power plant is now under my total domination. You have one hour to pay up $700 billion dollars delivered personally on the back of Isaac Sumdac, and an autograph from Princess Serenity personally, too. Or I'll cook up a power overload that will fry the entire state of Michigan! I cracked up a little video for the learning impaired. Domination's station! Total waste land! So pay up, or be owned!", Masterson declared. He then laughed, as Masterson showed a video of the city blowing up.
Later on, Optimus, Serenity, Captain Fanzone, the mayor of Detroit, and Professor Sumdac all watched the power plant from on top of a hill. "Does he even realize that when he blows up the city, he'll blow himself up with it? The guy is insane.", Serenity said.
"$700 billion dollars.", Professor Sumdac said, out loud. The captain then whistled at that.
"That ain't no chump change. What should we do?", Captain Fanzone asked. "Pay him.", Optimus answered, bluntly.
"What?!", everyone exclaimed. "And here's how.", Optimus said, a smirk playing on his face.
'Sweet Cybertron! He looks so handsome when he does that.', Serenity thought. Soon, five vehicles were driving up to the power plant.
But, as they rode, the car the captain was driving in wouldn't let him play the music he wanted to play. "This is why I hate machines.", Captain Fanzone grumbled.
Once they arrived at the place, Masterson, who was within Bulkhead's body, stepped closer. "That's far enough! Alright, step out! Hands where I can see them!", Masterson demanded.
With that said, all the 'humans' stepped out and Serenity transformed. "Alright, I'm unarmed. Do you mind if we attend to any potential wounded?", Captain Fanzone asked.
"You can do whatever you want as soon as you give me the cash and autograph, you noob.", Masterson stated, stepping closer to the princess. 'If that creep lays one servo on her...', Optimus thought, trying his best not to rev his engines in defense.
"It's in the truck. All $700 hundred billion.", Professor Sumdac stated, as Masterson came closer. He then grabbed Sumdac and sent Bulkhead's wrecking ball to spin around Serenity, tying her up in the rope.
"Too bad you've been punked! And I'm going to trash the city and take the princess, anyway! And your lameo Sumdac System's with it!
