Who Needs A Rescue? Pt 1

I blame @silkling for giving me Rescue Bots feels and the need to do this.

I made mention of the idea of the Cons detecting the Sigma Ship before and felt the need to do something. Might add onto this at some point for sure.

So enjoy?

Who Needs a Rescue? Pt 1

It must be some Autobot trick.

When Soundwave informed him of the ship's signal, Megatron knew better than assuming the mech had been joking. There's no way such a ship should or could still even exist. That, after all this time, it was travelling towards this horrible mudball of a planet. Not until Soundwave brought up the signal and the ship's predict path that he had no choice but to believe.

Rescue Bots…

A caste of Cybertronians that he was quick to deal with at the start of the war. They claimed they wanted no part in the war, would remain neutral, would aid anyone who needed help. They showed up at every battle and assist anyone that still had a spark beating in their chests. It didn't matter if they were Autobot, Decepticon or fools that had yet to choose.

The Rescue Bots followed their pathetic motto to the very end.

Megatron had to humour them for a bit, but when it became clear over time that they were becoming a problem. After all, they were aiding the Autobots and Megatron couldn't allow that to happen for much longer. He made it known that the Rescue Bots needed to choose a side. That Decepticons were the true path for the future of Cybertron.

They didn't see his request as merciful as it was.

Their mistakes.

Now, there what could be the last of their kind—heading to this backward world for whatever reason. Didn't they have a clue of what happened? Of the war? Why broadcast their signal for anyone to pick up, drawing attention to themselves.

"Soundwave, what reason could this mudball bring an extinct caste here?"

Didn't need to explain anymore as Soundwave responds with Prime's foolish message to his remaining soldiers, calling them here. Yes, it would be the most logical reason as Optimus labelled the message priority Prime.

Now, Megatron had a choice to make. He could order Soundwave to shoot the ship down, be rid of the last of the Rescue Bots for all time.

But he was curious about how they still exist. How did they survive the fate that thousands of their caste failed to escape? It was a puzzle that naw away at his processor. How, how did this happen, and what could he do to correct this mistake?

If those Rescue Bots landed and joined forces with Prime on this organic world, they would boost the numbers the Autobots greatly needed. They could destroy the ship before it made landfall. While the Rescue Bots Megatron remembered from eons ago were pacifists by nature, who knows how they would react to the news that they were the last of their kind.

Megatron couldn't allow Optimus the chance to gain the upper hand over him.

But then there was the other side of the equation.

One, he must decide quickly.

"Soundwave, track the ship. Once it's close, bring it aboard," ordered Megatron, turning his back and walked away from his third.

"Whoever it is, we can't allow them to join Prime."

Once he gotten his hands on the ship, Megatron would then decide their fate.
