"Something is truly rotten in the city of Detroit.", the reporter spoke, as he showed trash all around. "Trash bots are malfunctioning all over town, all due to a contract dispute between city hall and Sumdac Systems. Acting as CEO, Porter C. Powell had this to say, "until this contract is settled, Sumdac Systems is not required to service the city's trash bots". In the meantime, garbage is piling up and tempers are flaring up all over Detroit.", the reporter spoke, as a banana and egg was thrown of his head. 

Powell then turned in his seat to face his two employees. "I think Detroit is ready for a new approach to waste management. Dazzle me.", Powell said. 

One man threw some garbage on the floor. "As you can see, we manage to work out the kinks in Professor Sumdac's nano technology. Re-purposing these nano bots into trash consuming micro bots. And the best part is we can manufacture them at a fraction of the cost of the old trash bots.", the man stated. 

"And charge the city even more for them, I'll make a tidy little profit and be a hero, too.", Powell added. Meanwhile, the Autobots and Serenity were actually doing something about the trash that was there right now. 

Optimus was backing a trailer of trash to the barge, while Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Prowl put it in the boat. "This is even less dignifying than repairing space bridges. Not to mention extremely unpleasant on the old factory sensors.", Prowl spoke in disgust. 

"Not only that, it smells bad.", Sari complained. "Well, that maybe, but this is still a good opportunity to mend some strain human bot relations.", Optimus spoke, while transforming. 

"Yeah! Who knows? Maybe when the humans start trusting us again, they even may start liking us again, too.", Bumblebee spoke with confidence. While this conversation was going on, Serenity and Ratchet were trying to pick up some of the trash on the street. 

Ratchet found a car, much to an older man's displeasure. "Hey, that's my car! Put it down you now!", the man shouted out. 

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!", Ratchet spoke, in a uncaring tone, as he was about to dropped it into the water. "Wait Ratchet!", Serenity called out, trying to get to the car. 

But, it was too late, as he dropped it into the water. Serenity then dove in trying to get it. 

"You! You are going to pay for that! All you lousily alien machines are going to pay, I swear!", the man yelled out, as Serenity came out of the water. She then puts the wet car up on shore, before watching the two argue. 

"Huh, what do you know? There's a human version of Ratchet.", Serenity mumbled. "Hey! You're the one who parked that thing underneath a trash heap!", Ratchet yelled out, while stomping and making the man fall down. 

"Now listen up, you over grown vacuum cleaner! That trash heap wasn't there when I parked it!", the man yelled back. Ratchet then picked up the man by the shirt. 

"And how is that my fault!?", Ratchet yelled out. "Hey! You put me down! I know my rights! I'm calling the cops! Or a tow truck!", the man yelled out, while struggling to get free. 

"Ratchet, come on. Please put him down. We are all tired and a little bit cranky from the clean up. We don't need to make it any worse.", Serenity spoke, while trying to grab Ratchet's hand. "Nah, uh! Not until I teach him a lesson in respect.", Ratchet spoke, while moving the human away from her. 

"Okay. Maybe liking us is no much to ask for with Ratchet around.", Bumblebee commented, while watching the scene unfold. Then, Captain Fanzone showed up. 

"You! Quite harassing the Autobots! And you! Put down the citizen!", Fanzone ordered. Ratchet then puts down the human. 

"The city will cover the damages to your vehicle, Sir. Now, I suggest you go about your business.", Fanzone spoke, while helping the man up. "Thank you, Captain.", Serenity spoke with a sigh of relief. 

"This isn't over, Tin can!", the man yelled out. Ratchet then made his magnetic claws come out, making a pinching motion. 

While the man ran off, Serenity then face palmed. "And you, my Autobot friend, could stand to people skills.", Fazone said. 

"No argument here on that.", Serenity spoke. "There's nothing wrong with my people skills.", Ratchet spoke, while crossing his arms. 

"You know it's bad when you make Captain Fanzone look like the friendly one.", Sari spoke, before high fiving Serenity. "Hey!", Ratchet and Fanzone said at the same time. 

"Sari has a point, Ratchet. No amount of good deeds could make up for a bad attitude. I think it would be a good idea for someone to work with you on projecting a more pleasant disposition.", Optimus spoke, before looking at Sari, Serenity, and Bumblebee. Sari and Bumblebee didn't see it, but Serenity did. 

She then slowly shook her head "No". "I pity the poor glitch who gets stuck with that assignment.", Bumblebee whispered to Sari, laughing, until they looked at the others. 

"He means us. Doesn't he?", Bumblebee asked. "What are you smiling at?", Sari asked Prowl. 

"Apparently there is one job less dignified than hulling trash.", Prowl spoke, unable to hide his smug tone. "And it looks like that job is at capacity.", Optimus spoke, unable to stop smiling. 

"I couldn't agree with you more.", Serenity spoke, as she went to leave. "Come on, Seri! We need you in order to survive.", Sari whined. 

Serenity then looked from her small friend to Ratchet. "Okay. I'll do for you, old lug.", Serenity said, nudging Ratchet slightly. 

"Who are you calling old?!", Ratchet snapped at her. She then facepalmed. 

"it's going to be a long solar cycle.", Serenity sighed. "Autobots, transform and roll on home.", Optimus called to the team, as they left. 

Ratchet then turned to look at Bumblebee, Sari, and Serenity. Bumblebee and Serenity looked down at Sari, before transforming and driving off. 

Ratchet then transformed and opened his door for Sari to get in, but her key started glowing. "Will you get in already?!", Ratchet snapped at her. 

"What's the magic word?", Sari asked. "NOW!", Ratchet yelled out. 

"It's going to be a long day.", Sari groaned. Little did they know, that as they drove off, a robot came to life out of the garbage. 

"I am... What am I?", the bot asked, as a piece of paper flew into his face. He then started to read it. 

"Um... I am high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, artificial favors... No, that doesn't sound right. There must be something in here that can tell me what I am.", the bot said, as he dug through the metal backpack filled with garbage on his back, until he pulled out a bra. "Not my size.", the bot said, as he threw it to the side. 

"Can anyone help me found out what I am?", the bot asked. Then, a blimp flew over with the police sign on it. 

"The Detroit metro police department. We're here to help.", the bot read. "Sounds good to me.", the bot continued. 

He then went to find the police. In Megatron's cave. 

"I'm picking up a new Allspark energy signal, my liege.", Lugnut spoke. "No doubt another fragment has surfaced. Retrieve it, Lugnut, before the Autobots get their filthy servos on it.", Megatron commanded. 

"Stasis lock itself could not deter me from your grand and glorious plan, oh wise and noble Megatron.", Lugnut praised. "Just go.", Megatron commanded, trying to hide his annoyance. 

"Yes, my liege!", Lugnut said. The bot continued to follow the blimp out onto the street, to many driver's annoyance. 

"Move it, you worthless wreck!", one driver shouted out. "Out of the way, you walking pile of garbage!", another one shouted out. 

The bot then heard a siren and saw the vehicle pursuing the Angry Archer. "For sooth! Thou shall not Sherith the nah catch the Angry Archer!", Angry Archer shouted out, while running between the bot's legs. 

But, the police car was caught between them. The bot looked at the door of the car that had fallen apart. 

"Detroit Metro Police! Help at last!", the bot exclaimed, before picking up the two police officers. "Excuse me? I was hoping you can tell me what I am. I mean, you are here to help, right?", the bot said. 

The police men were not at all happy with being picked up. "You are interfering with police business. Please disperse.", the officer replied. 

The Angry Archer had watched all this take place. "Good show, dilapidated diluent! Now, kindly dispose of your interloping law enforcement and let us make our get away.", Angry Archer said. 

"Right! Dispose and get away.", the bot shouted out, while throwing the police to the side and grabbing the archer, before running away. "Hey! I don't suppose you can tell me what I am, funny green man?", the bot asked. 

"You are... My partner in crime. They call me Angry Archer.", Angry Archer replied. "They call me, worthless wreck, walking pile of garbage.", the bot said. 

"Oh, really? A bit of a mouthful. Perhaps we should just call you Wreck Gar for short.", Angry Archer told him. Meanwhile, Bumblebee, Serenity, and Ratchet were stuck in traffic. 

"Move it already! Don't you humans have anything better to do?!", Ratchet shouted out. "You really should try to be more patient with people.", Sari spoke. 

"I'd be a lot more patient with if they... WOULD GET OUT OF MY WAY!", Ratchet shouted out. "Cool your crank case, Ratchet. That's what these things are for.", Bumblebee commented, while putting on his siren. 

"Now that's more like it.", Ratchet replied, more happy. "Aren't you kind of missing the point of being friendlier to people?", Sari asked. 

"I can't exactly smile in vehicle mode, can I?", Ratchet replied sarcastically. "You can start by not snapping all the time.", Serenity spoke. 

"Somebody help me!", a man yelled out, while walking into the street. "What's the problem, Sir?", Serenity's holoform asked. 

"My wife is about to have a baby and our car broke down! We need to get to a hospital right away!", the man said, fearful for his wife. "What do I look like? A taxi service for unprocessed proto forms?!", Ratchet yelled out. 

"This is a emergency!", Serenity yelled at Ratchet, really getting tired of his attitude. "Not to mention a chance for you to practice acting friendlier.", Sari added. 

"It's going to be some wrecking job.", Bumblebee commented, as the soon to be mother and father get into Ratchet. "This could be the chance to study some of Earth's culture!", Serenity exclaimed with a squeal. 

"I'm pretty sure you don't want to see this part of Earth's culture, Seri. Remember, the most important thing is to keep the mother to be calm.", Sari says. "Calm! Why wouldn't she be calm?" Ratchet asked. 

He then takes off at full speed, starting the soon to be parents. Elsewhere, the Angry Archer was trying to give Wreck Gar a few lessons. 

"Let's try this one more time, shall we? We steal from the rich and give to the poor, mainly ourselves.", Angry Archer told him. He then demonstrates by grabbing some jewels and putting them in his back pack. 

"I am Wreck Gar! I steal from the rich.", Wreck Gar spoke, as he did the same as Archer, but taking all the jewels. "Give me back those jewels.", Angry Archer demanded. 

Wreck Gar then brought out some tools. "Okay.", Wreck Gar said. 

"Not tools! Jewels!", Angry Archer shouted out. Wreck Gar then dropped spools on the Angry Archer. 

"Those are spools, I want jewels! You know, those sparkly things.", Angry Archer told him. Wreck Gar then brought out a lit dynamiter. 

"Righty oh!", Wreck Gar said. Angry Archer quickly grabbed it, putting out the fuse. 

"No! What ho? Our query approaches. Now, help me knock over yon armored coach.", Angry Archer commanded, as he prepared to shoot the armored car. "I'm Wreck Gar! I knock things over.", Wreck Gar spoke, as he brought out a heavy weight, while running at the car.

"Spike, honey. Could you please tell the driver to slow down.", the young mother pleaded, scared. But, when he opened the window to look out. 

"Carly, there's no driver. There's just a little girl.", Spike said. "What?!", Carly asked, frightened. 

"Will you humans knock off that racket!? I'm trying to figure out which one of these buildings is a hospital!", Ratchet yelled out. "Ratchet, she's going to have a sparkling. Give her some patients!", Serenity told Ratchet. 

"What's going on?", Spike asked. "Let us out now!", Carley demanded in a panic. 

"Way to calm them down, Ratchet.", Sari commented. "Will you two pipe down?! There is absolutely nothing to panic about!", Ratchet shouted out. 

Serenity then backed over to Bumblebee. "Maybe this was a bad idea.", Serenity said. 

"You think?!", Bumblebee exclaimed, sarcastically. Wreck Gar then knocked the armored car towards Ratchet. 

"Except that.", Ratchet said to the humans, as he quickly swerved to miss it. "There! What did I tell you? We're perfectly safe.", Ratchet continued. 

Bumblebee then transformed and pointed at Wreck Gar coming at them. "That doesn't look to safe to me.", Bumblebee said. 

"I am Wreck Gar! I knock things over.", Wreck Gar announced. He then continued to beat the armored car. 

Ratchet then shot the soon to be parents out of his back and transformed, preparing to fight. "So, you want to play rough, do ya?", Ratchet growled. 

He then used his magnetic powers to take Wreck Gar's tool, throwing it to the side, as it almost hits the soon to be parrents. "Ratchet, you almost hit them!", Serenity shouted out. 

She then rushed over to the couple, trying to comfort the mother. "I don't know much about these things, Lady. But, I think you're suppose to breath of something.", Serenity said. 

Sari then tried to help the couple. "That's right, Miss. Here... Um... Sir, you massage her temples. That will help calm her. What hospital did you want to go to?", Serenity asked, as Bumblebee and Ratchet went to take on Wreck Gar. 

"Serenity, what are you doing? That human will be fine!", Ratchet shouted to her. "You just focus on your task. I'll focus on mine.", Serenity told him. 

Angry Archer then took this time to use one of his rope guns to a canister out of the car. "I knowith not what this resectical contains, but me thinks it's must be valuable. Now, give them everything you got.", Angry Archer commanded Wreck Gar. 

"Right! Everything I got. Here, have this toilet and have this engine block.", Wreck Gar said. Serenity couldn't suppress a laugh, when the engine block knocked Ratchet down. 

"How about a nice boiled side of beef?", Wreck Gar asked. Bumblebee then caught it, before using it as a shield against Wreck Gar's stuff. 

"Take the humans to the hospital, Ratchet. I'll handle the junk bot.", Bumblebee ordered. "Since when do you give the orders, kid?! Since Serenity likes them so much, why don't she just take them?!", Ratchet snapped. 

"Seri can't transport them in her vehicle mode and we're Autobots. We're suppose to protect life, remember.", Bumblebee told him. "Don't tell me how to protect life!", Ratchet yelled out. 

The two then began to argue, as Wreck Gar listened in. "Protect life? Right!", Wreck Gar said. 

He then ran over to where Serenity and the humans were. "Greetings, life! I am Wreck Gar. Wreck Gar the Autobot, I will protect you.", Wreck Gar greeted. 

The humans then gave a frightened cry. "No, no, no! It's okay. He's here to help... I think.", Serenity said. 

She then looked up to Wreck Gar. "Okay, Wreck Gar, this is what I need you to do. First, back up a bit, your scaring them.", Serenity told him. 

"Okay, I will back up a bit.", Wreck Gar said, as he backed up. "Great job! Now, I just need to get these guys to a hospital. Stop those two from arguing and stop a bad guy.", Serenity sighed. 

Sari saw Serenity's distress and ran over to the others. "YOU'RE ALSO SUPPOSE TO CATCH THE BAD GUY!!", Sari yelled out. 

Wreck Gar heard her and saw Angry Archer get away. Serenity then looked at him. 

"Yeah! Wreck Gar, go catch the bad guy.", Serenity added. "Right! Catch bad guy.", Wreck Gar said, then took off after Archer. 

"You know, besides being a little bit confused and stinky. He's got a cute personality.", Serenity commented, as they started to give chase. "Don't let Optimus hear you say that.", Bumblebee said. 

Ratchet then stopped to look at the humans. "Well, don't just sit there! You still want that ride or what?!", Ratchet snapped. 

"Don't worry about it, Ratchet. I got them a taxi to the nearest hospital.", Serenity stated, as the husband then help his wife over to the taxi. "Hum... Not even a thank you and they call me rude.", Ratchet grumbled. 

"Actually, they thanked me.", Serenity smirked, as she drove off. "And what did you do that I didn't?! I was the one they got the ride in!", Ratchet snapped. 

"Oh, stop being such cranky, Doc bot! And let's help Bumblebee already.", Serenity spoke, as she drove ahead. So, the Angry Archer was swinging through the city. 

"I am Wreck Gar the Autobot.", Wreck Gar announced. He then positioned himself him front of the Archer, as he swung right into him. 

"I must catch the bad guy.", Wreck Gar said. He then picked him up and through him into the air, unaware that the canister that he had fell into Wreck Gar's back. 

"He's going, he's going.", Wreck Gar said. The Archer then grabbed a flag pole and swung away. 

"Uh, now how am I suppose to catch him?", Wreck Gar asked. Bumblebee, Ratchet, and Serenity then arrived. 

"What are you? What is he?", Bumblebee asked Sari and Serenity. "I don't know. But, he's giving off a tone of Allspark energy.", Sari replied, while looking at her glowing key. 

"I think his name is Wreck Gar.", Serenity said, as she walked closer. "Wonder why I didn't get a memory back from the Allspark?", Serenity asked. 

"Probably because that shard is now his spark.", Ratchet replied. "I am Wreck Gar. I give off Allspark energy.", Wreck Gar said. 

He then gave small light blast. "Does that mean he's like me?", Serenity asked. 

"Not quite. You also have a spark and an Allspark shard, so he's not exactly the same as you. But, it might cause some side effects.", Ratchet replied. "So, what? An Allspark fragment just brought a junk pile to life and made some new kind of Autobot?", Bumblebee asked. 

"I am Wreck Gar. I am some new kind of Autobot!", Wreck Gar said. Ratchet then ran over. 

"Listen you walking scrap heap! You're not an Autobot and you will never be an Autobot! You're only good for one thing, GARBAGE!", Ratchet shouted out. "Ratchet, knock it off!", Serenity shouted out. 

"I am Wreck Gar! I am only good for one thing, GARBAGE! I must deliver garbage to all.", Wreck Gar announced. He then transformed into a garbage truck and threw some at the Autobots, before driving away, leaving a trail of garbage. 

"Wow! You just got a way with words, don't you?", Sari spoke. Serenity got up and dusted herself off. 

"I am Serenity. We must go after Wreck Gar.", Serenity said. Bumblebee, Sari, and Ratchet looked at her funny. 

"Why are you talking like that?", Sari asked. "I am Serenity. I don't know why. It sounds natural.", Serenity replied. 

Ratchet then face palmed. "This is the side effects I was talking about. She took on a small piece of his personality.", Ratchet stated. 

"Please tell me she won't be this way forever.", Bumblebee pleaded. "Hopefully it is just for a short while. Let's get out of
