As Cybertron has been successfully restored by the next 6 months, everyone thought that their jobs were done, but as they knew now, it was far from over.

Cybertronian refugee ships of the 13 colonies that excommunicated Cybertron had arrived, with representatives of their own, each of these colonies swearing to Optimus Prime himself, now the head of the reformed Council of Trion, had allowed these representatives as long as they are of earnest and honest behavior. Megatron, the King of Reformation, and leader of the Renegatrons was allowed to represent Kaon, his home as well, while Soundwave acts as the negociator and spymaster.

Prime allowed his weary subordinates to take offs for the rest of month, acknowledging that they are tired from all the restoration. The Autobots themselves had to likely go back doing their old jobs or become managers of their old jobs to enjoy the peace they had.

As for the Renegatrons, well, they had to have freedom doing what they do best aside from their routines. The Combaticons themselves had made a substancial living operating a bar a little way before the Kaon Fortress. Onslaught was the bartender, Swindle did the cleaning, Blast Off was the security head, while Brawl and Vortex enjoyed throwing anyone who disturbed the peace out of their bar.

Skyquake became a weapons dealer where he sold weapons and ammo to anyone who can afford either, while his brother, Dreadwing, was now Megatron's bodyguard. Shockwave remained the scientist, but was kept under explicit watch by Soundwave. The latter did the same to Starscream, who was able to keep his rank as Commander of the Seekers in case the treacherous snake dared make moves against Megatron himself.

In the side of the Autobots, something had to be done at the back of their minds.

"Tag, you're it!"

Cliffjumper leaped toward and tried to touch Arcee when she had her back turned, but she strafed away from his hand.

"You're it!" again, Arcee dodged.

"You're it!" no use, Arcee was right behind Cliffjumper.

"It! It! It!" Cliffjumper tried to tag her at the back, then at the left when she was there, then at his right, but she evaded all three of his hands.

"Arcee!" Cliffjumper whined. "You! Are! It!" he leaped towards her multiple times yet she eluded all three of his telegraphed jumps. In response to him trying hard, she just gave a scrap-eating smirk at her partner.

And off they go, with Cliffjumper failing to even tag Arcee, not even once did he even lay a finger on her.

Afterwards, upon meeting up with Bumblebee, Cliffjumper gave up trying to tag Arcee, because she was too elusive for him. They then met up with Optimus Prime and Warpath, the latter gleefully introduced them someone quite familiar.

"Hello again!" 

Elita One in the frames.

Bumblebee gasped. "You're okay! How are you even here?!"

Bumblebee didn't even want to admit to Optimus himself or to anyone... but the last time they had a mission together at his orders was when they were sent to defend the last Autobot bastion before it fell to the Decepticons. It ultimately fell apart, and Starscream gleefully lead the charge with his subordinates. While he maintained his optimism that day... he remembered Elita beaten at her knees, at Starscream's mercy before she met her end at the hard barrel of Starscream's Null Ray. It caused him to break down and cry, as it was his first brush of trauma for weeks on end because he was very close to Elita back then.

"What do you mean?" Elita asked innocently.

"I mean, I watched you deact-"

Warpath piped up interrupting Bumblebee "NOPE! Never happened!" while holding up his hands far from between his body.
