Transformers: Prime: The Legacy of Optimus Prime

Chapter 8: More Than Meets the Eye

Russell was looking at Crown City with the binoculars "My old friends" he muttered as he zooms his binoculars towards the amusement park.

"Fun...excitement...so close," he said as he looks away from the binoculars "And yet so far" he finished. Then Russell turned his attention to Fixit as he spoke "You know what I did for fun when I was the only conscious bot on the prison ship?" Fixit asked as he smiled and had his arms out "Nothing, and lots of it." he answered as Russell sighed and climbed from where he was looking through the binoculars "That...really didn't help did it?" Fixit said as he saw the loneliness in Russell's face.

Denny came as he was wiping his hands off with a towel as Russell is finally down. "I have a cure for boredom," Denny said as Russell turned his attention to his father "There's a football field down the road where the neighborhood kids play" Denny explained as he pointed his thumb to the direction of the football field.

"Why don't you check it out?" he asked "uh sorry, Dad, uh no helmet" Russell said as he pointed his head and tried to make an excuse. Denny puts his finger on his lip to think "Hmm" he muttered and then he grin.

At the diner...

Denny places an old football helmet on Russell's head "This thing's a hundred years old" Russell said as this is a leather football helmet made in the 1940s "I know right?" Denny exclaimed as he is being optimistic "It belongs to Bronco Kowalski, the Poughkeepsie pile driver" Denny exclaimed. "Wow," Fixit said as he sniffed the helmet "It has a very uh....interesting odor," he said as he wheeled away as Russell is not interested in the helmet and crossed his arms.

Denny kneels down to Russell's level and put his arm around Russell's shoulder as he extends his hand out "You are going to rule the turf" Denny said, "rule it or eat it?" Russell muttered.

At the golf course...

A groundskeeper picks some grass as he tastes it "Hmm? Nitrate levels perfect. A masterpiece! No, no, no, no, no, a Grass-terpiece!" the groundskeeper exclaimed as he drove off in his golf cart. When he was gone, a mysterious car emerged from the water and transformed into a humanoid lobster mech as he is a Decepticon.

"Yes, 3 bodies of water crossed in 12 nano cycles this planet's no match for..." the lobster-bot exclaimed as he was cut off by the sound of an engine running as the view showed Hivemus Prime, Prowl, Sideswipe, Strongarm, and Misfire as they all transformed into their robot modes except Misfire, who is in his Dino mode.

Misfire charges at the lobster-bot as the lobster-bot blasts at Misfire with his mouth as it sent Misfire flying. Sideswipe saw Misfire falling towards him as he tried to get out of the way, but Misfire landed on him. Misfire got up and off of Sideswipe. The lobster-bot cheered "5 more Autobot takedowns and I will own the record" he said as Strongarm points her Decepticon hunter at him, Prowl and Hivemus hold him at gunpoint along.

"Hate to ruin your day, Bisk. But that one you just threw is actually a Dinobot and also a Decepticon" Hivemus said as the lobster-bot's name is Bisk. "Fine, I can still tie the record," Bisk said as he blasts at Hivemus as Prowl and the recruits began firing.

Then Bisk moved his blasting mouth towards them as Prowl leaps over it and the blast knocks the recruits, Sideswipe rushed to help then he stopped as Bisk blasted at him as Sideswipe dodges and the blast hits some trees. Sideswipe jumps towards Bisk and pulls out his Decepticon hunter as he strikes at Bisk.

Bisk blocks his strike as Prowl joins in as he kicks Bisk then Misfire swings his tail at Bisk as it hits him in the face. "Double defense mode" Bisk shouted as he knocks Sideswipe off "I am a master at this" he said as Sideswipe, Prowl, and Misfire kept fighting as Hivemus and the rest of the recruits recovered from the blast "I helped save the universe from Starscream, Megatron, the Dark Energon even Doomsayer. I refuse to become the laughingstock of some bug-eyed bots gaming club" Hivemus said as he and the rest of the recruits got on their peds.
