Rattrap, a Wrecker Maximal in the settlement of Crystal City

Rattrap is a collector scouring the steel and it's ruins for "treasures" scrap metal, old dead bodies and weapons, or whatever he might come across

There's only one problem with being a collector on Cybertron...

Rattrap: Oof!

Sometimes you find things you don't want

And sometimes they find you.

Vehicon: Hunt's over you lose (use the gun pointing to Rattrap)

(Bumblebee blasts Vehicon from his arm)

Vehicon: Ahhhhh!

Vehicon: You must be tired of living, Autobot

Bumblebee: No. Just tired of Vehicons like you. Leave the Wrecker alone and move along

(Bumblebee activates his energy stinger)

Vehicon: Heh. One lone fighter, still with steel in his ears, challenging a Vehicon? Did the suns get you, or are you just stupid?

Bumblebee: Not sunstruck. Not stupid. Just a scout. One thing, though...

(Grimlock and Thunderhoof arrives)

Bumblebee: I never travel alone

Minutes later

Grimlock: Ow. (massaging his head)

Thunderhoof: Eyyoo, I said block him, not get trampled by his mount

Bumblebee: He'll be back with friends. We should keep moving

(Three transforms into vehicle to roll out)

Rattrap: Thanks for the rescue. But I don't have any-thing to pay you with

Thunderhoof: Eyyoo Don't worry. We did this one for fun

Grimlock: Grimlock for yourseld. I don't fight for free

Bumblebee: Autobots fight for the cities that hire us, so they don't have to fight each other. But we don't charge to save a life

Grimlock: Grimlock says what are you doing so far from Crystal City?

Rattrap: Collecting bits of dead armor bodies, I need better armor if I'm going to fight in the arena someday

(Four transforms back)

Grimlock: You need more than that, rodent. You need-- hold on! Company!

They're called Motor Drones. More than hundred years ago, they we're a race of motorcycles

six years ago, now they are machinery near-machines who stalk the wastelands of Cybertron

Fast... Dangerous...

(Thunderhoof use his big stomp to take the Motor Drones)

And they don't take prisoners

Bumblebee: Fighting or just fighting, you think? (activates his stinger)

Thunderhoof: Probably both.

Grimlock: Since when do Motor Drones need a reason?

(Bumblebee blasts the drone)

Bumblebee: Good point

(car engine sound effects)

Thunderhoof: What's that?

Grimlock: Hey! They're leaving just when I was starting to enjoy this.

Rattrap: It was that Autobot over there I think he signaled them! Who is that?
