TFAV Decepticon Introduction REVAMP

Decepticon Introduction

Taiya was never more anxious about meeting a bunch of people. These were not mere humans, no she had the honor of meeting up with the apparent scourge of the universe. The Decepticons, the very fraction of beings that were said to be more malicious then any serial killer of her world. A fraction that was said to bring about fear to anyone who heard their name, and a terror to behold. Taiya just stood frozen with an eye twitching. Blackout friendly waved to an apparent ally in the back. The massive con waved back and called them over “Over here Blackout!” The one who waved to him looked slightly familiar to Taiya. It was a Decepticon who had a camouflage style paintjob and with spikes protruding from his chest and a set of huge cannons mounted on both sides of his body. "Looks like Brawl saved us a spot" Blackout said with a smile and started to walk forward but stopping as he looked back at Taiya who was not moving an iota. Shaking his head he headed back "For fraggin slag" Blackout lowered his hand "Come on, don't worry bout them they won’t dare do anything while I am here. After all I am one of our best combatants."

Looking around at everyone, they wore angry scowls and were clearly in a bad mood. She averted her eyes and tried to stay focused on her warden. “Please tell me they aren’t mad at me just existing here?” She asked. “Nah they are just still in a foul disposition since the fight in LA.” He replied. “Well just stick with you right?” Blackout nodded and they both started to make their way to the back of the room where the one named Brawl was waiting. Taiya looked over to the left to see what looked like a bunch of construction equipment sitting around a large table all looked unnerved and one looked out of place, he had 8 rather large sharp spikes angling out of his back. "I wouldn't go near them, at least for awhile" He warned her."Who are they?" She inquisitively asked. Blackout stalled and pointed to one of them with the large spikes. "He is Bonecrusher, and I would highly suggest not even looking at him, he hates everyone and everything. He has been awful since Shockwave got his hands on him. He used to be part of the team he is sitting with but Megatron wanted a better soldier, one stronger then construction equipment. He also used to be more stable. All damage of our resident evil scientist."  Blackout pointed to the one with a hook on his back. "He is Hook, he is very competitive and wants perfection even more then Megatron in his duties. I am starting to think he has a problem in his personality circuit. He once took apart every single weapon in our armory just to check for defects. It took us cycles to put them all back together. He got quite the punishment too for it." “That’d be?” Asking she looked a bit more less stress filled. “Megatron ripped off his boom mast. What you need to know is while we are machines we feel pain. If we have a part of ourselves hurt or torn off it causes our circuits to go crazy. We can feel just not in the same way you do.” Trying to be less tense she said "Well his name suites him huh. Given his appearance and all."

Blackout nodded and pointed to the one in the middle with rather dirty wheels. "He is Long Haul, he is like many Decepticons; he just wants to be a soldier in the front lines but sadly is never given the opportunity. He and Bonecrusher are on a team. Between them I don't know who is worse. They are a two con wreaking team. If it can be built, they can destroy it. Most of your earthly structures are not strong enough to deal with them ramming into them. I am sure you saw the footage of how Long Haul made his way through a nuclear hardened concrete." She nodded as it was all over the news at the time. Blackout then pointed to the fourth member of the team, he had huge drills sticking out above his head.  "He is Mixmaster, our resident chemist, you want something that can last a blast but is light, Mixmaster is your guy.  He is one of the nicer ones of the group. He mainly just wants to get his job done and efficiently. Makes a lot of our patches and tell you the truth is a very good metallurgist." Blackout then signaled to fifth member, a robot with a huge shovel on his back.  "He is Scavenger, he is the nicest Decepticon you will meet. All he seems to want is for people to like him and be his companion. He would be friends with an Autobot if given the chance. I don't know why he bothers though, Decepticons don't want friends as much as enemies to kill and kill with. He is as you call an attention hog. But from what I have learned from your earthly culture the youngest is the one who likes attention the most. So maybe that is where he gets it from.”  

The last one of the team who was smaller than the others. He was very general looking and had now outlying structural feature to give him a distinct identity. "He is the leader of the Constructicons, his name is Scrapper, he makes most engineers look like rusted down bolts. He tends to dominate the team and force them to follow his orders. I personally don't see anything good about him besides his function to his team.” Blackout sighed “He is loud and obnoxious. So between him and the others, I would still suggest staying away from him unless he wants to talk. Which he will then most likely start rambling on how much more superior he is. The Constructicons are not very civil in nature in terms of actual conversation and culture. They are all in their own group and do not like being bothered. Sans for Scavenger. Don’t be surprised if he gives you random junk to try to be your friend. I have gotten myself a lot of waste as “presents” from him."

Beginning to feel less afraid as Blackout talked on, she could see just how diverse the Decepticons were. They were no different than the kinds of people she meet. Each with their own personality, attitude, attributes, and such. “I am sorry but I did not know robotic beings could have their own autonomous nature. Most human movies has them be just programmed a certain way.” She added in. “Well that is because they are less evolved than us. The first beings that graced Cybertron were not that different. They worked to maintain the planet as the Allspark had decreed in their programming.  We do have animals too, their consciousness is varied as here with your Earth animals. We have our drones like ants and we have our smart ones too.” This made her smile thinking of all the robotic animals there could be on a planet like Cybertron. Taiya saw the one called Scavenger get up out of his seat and head outside the room back to the elevator. "I wonder where he is going to? Was it something I did?" She asked. Blackout  chuckled "No, only Primus knows where in the pits he is going.” Together they continued to walk down the room getting more glares and what Taiya could guess, swears about her presence. Reactively she grabbed hold of Blackout’s thumb. He smiled and they reached the table where Brawl was and Blackout helped Taiya down to the table. The table was at least  5 ½ meters tall (18 Feet).

"This is Brawl" He introduced his ally. Extending his hand to Taiya he introduced himself. “Blackout it is civil to let the stranger introduce himself.” Brawl said. “I am just trying to help her learn the names of everyone. One less reason for them to hate her for no reason.” She snickered and shook his figure because his hand was too large.  "Blackout, this one is a little short ain't she?" He said amused. Blackout shrugged "Brawl, not all beings can be as grand in size as us. You know that." Brawl shared a scoff  "Well then tiny-cyber got a name?" "Hi Brawl. My name is Taiya." Looked bewildered Brawl asked "uh..Blackout? is that a name or is it a term regarding her abilities?" Blackout corrected him "Humans don't name like we do, they come up with names that are not meaningful to what they are or what they can do. They seem to try to have names be separate themselves from objects in their world.' "Odd, really odd. But certainly their names must mean something right?" Inquired Brawl. "I am trying to assess what she can do so that I can give her a more Decepticon name. Either that or she can select one of her own."  "Sounds like a plan. I also hear that Shockwave is coming to Earth." Blackout taking one of the Energon cubes from the middle of the table  "I arranged that last night."

Looking interested Brawl pushed him further "Why would you summon him? I mean come on buddy - - - You and him aren't exactly friends you know. You are fine talking to him, but actually seeing him face to face? The last time you two met up in the same room…” Brawl gulped “to put it lightly, he wouldn't be a Cyclops if it wasn't for you." Blackout smirked a bit sinisterly as he thought back to the time he nearly destroyed Shockwave’s head. Looking down at Taiya he calmed down.  "Brawl, I am over that and certainly he should be as well. Besides his function as a Cyclops works well for him.” Blackout could not contain a sense of pride in his vicious act against him. “Besides, it has been ages since then. I can keep my coolant this time. It seems like PET project is more like Initiation project from the review of the plan Megatron has for those who join us." Brawl looked unconvinced "Well just make sure Shock doesn't go overboard. You of all beings know what a mess he made of several of our own including Bones.” Blackout nodded “Yeah I do not need to be reminded on how much he loves throwing his weight around in terms of physical and processor manipulation.” Blackout Answered. Brawl looked to him and asked "Which reminds me. You don't expect her to walk everywhere do you?" "Yes why?” With a deadpan expression he addressed Blackout "Blackout she won’t be able to keep up with us with her walking pace…Humans are slow, you know that. Maxing out on what 1.5 meters a second." Blackout awkwardly smiled  "Oh slag."

Brawl laughed "Don't worry I have a plan, If I can get Bones to behave for a moment. Now tiny, no hard feelings about what we did back at Los Angeles? A Con was just fallowing orders. So we aren't going to have a problem are we?' "No, why would we?" Taiya gave a bit of nervous laughter.  "Just trying to ensure our newbie’s won’t start on the wrong biped. I wouldn't want us to have a problem.” “Trust me with Megatron around I doubt even if a human we pick will even want to try something.” Blackout reassured him. “Well lil human just know the one that picked you must be the guardian con of the team. Blackout here saved my aft back there. So if you make him happy, fine I am okay with it…Got to go talk to bones.” Brawl left and joined the Constructicons and began to talk to Bonecrusher who got furious and smacked Brawl in the head and stormed out of the room."YOU FRAGGIN MALFUNCTION! I SAVED YOU BACK THERE YOU KNOW? SHOW SOME RESPECT!" Brawl seething went after him. Taiya then heard what sounded like a racecar coming, FAST! The same sound that came from Blackout when he transformed emanated from around the room. Taiya had little time to react as she went flying into the air and right into the hand of another Decepticon that resembled a police car. The police car Decepticon held her upside down and started shouting.

"YOU ARE IN SOO MUCH TROUBLE. YOU REALIZE YOU ARE IN A RESTRICTED ZONE? ANYTHING YOU DO OR SAY WILL RESULT IN YOUR DEATH! UNDERSTAND?" It bellowed at her. Blackout got up and looked at him angrily "BARRICADE PUT HER DOWN NOW!" Laughing he tossed Taiya into the air a few times. "Why should I? You're not the boss of me. And what are you going to do about that you big rust bucket." Barricade scoffed Pleading she continued "PLEASE -PUT—ME—DOWN!" As he tossed her. Getting dizzy she tried to stay focused. Blackout got very angry at that. Barricade looked Blackout square in the optics and stopped tossing Taiya. He held her like a basketball under his arm. Blackout  with little in terms of holding back his anger assertively questioned Barricade “WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME!?” "You deaf big guy! I called you a big old rust bucket!” Barricade went into hysterical laughter. "I am still your superior cade! Take that back and give me back my PET! THAT IS AN ORDER!" "I only follow you on the battlefield, at home I don’t have to listen to a single thing you say!” Lunging forward Blackout went to grab hold of Barricades arm. Barricade sidestepped it and laughed at his attempt “Heavy and slow! Not like me a lean mean bot killing machine!” “OK! You made yourself clear! Please put me down!” She asked. He laughed looking down at this small mass of flesh “Sorry little miss. I have the right to hold you for further questioning. Failure to comply will result in you getting a cavity search!”

Terrified of that prospect she went very quiet as other cons around the room started to laugh at what was going on. "Grow up Barricade." Blackout said through enraged teeth. "Your just jealous that you know I am going to have more PETS then you." Blackout had to stop and laugh at such a ridiculous notion "Why would I be jealous of you, you are just a broken cyber chip, who is slower than a 56 kbit/s connection." Barricade looked absolutely infuriated "TAKE THAT BACK!" Blackout slyly went on "Aw did I strike a cyber connector, ah doughnut boy." Looking like he was just slapped across the face glared at Blackout wanting to pummel him one. "NOW PUT HER DOWN NOW, OR ELSE!" Blackout was beyond livid at Barricade and was starting to look like a bull before the charge. Barricade surreptitiously declared "Fine you want her that badly…LETS SEE HOW FAST YOU CAN CATCH HER!" Barricade threw Taiya with great force to the opposite side of the hall as she screamed bloody murder. Responding to Blackout, a being was ejected out of Blackouts back and went after Taiya. The being was a giant mechanical scorpion that was now running at full speed towards the flying girl. The scorpion halted 3 or so meters from her (10ft). The giant mechanical scorpion slowed and did a 180, planted his legs into the floor and with his large tail managed to harpoon Taiya's shirt slowing her to a stop. The mechanical scorpion lowered her down and just gawked at Taiya. Blackout lost his cool so fast no Decepticon could have seen it coming. Blackout took his blades off of his back and went after Barricade who was now running away from the angered con. Barricade missed many of Blackout's swings. He retaliated with shooting of his own and just like that a deafening SCREEEATCH! With an almighty CLANG. Blackout cut off Barricades arm and it feel heavily to the floor. "AHH! YOU SON OF A GLITCH! YOU CUT MY ARM OFF" Blackout putting his blades back on his back was in full malevolent laughter "Let’s see you try that again without your arm!” Barricade wailed in pain! “I wouldn't worry though, Shockwave will be here tomorrow, and then he can fix it, ALONG WITH YOUR BIG HEAD." The other Decepticons joined in on the laughter. Taiya could not help but join in too.

Barricade left the room hauling his arm off looking like a puppy that was kicked. He gave a bad look to Blackout who just reacted by clenching his fist making Barricade look away and rush out. She had calmed down as the transformer in front of her got her attention. The giant mechanical scorpion just continued to tilt its head and examine the girl. Taiya was highly confused about what was going on. "What? What is it? Is there something on my face?" She questioned the scorpion who just continued to gawk at her "BLACKOUT THIS THING IS FREAKING ME OUT!" Walking over to Taiya and the mechanical scorpion Blackout guaranteed "Scorponok won’t do anything to you" "Scorponok?...Is that his name?" She asked. "Yes and I think he wants a hug.” Taiya confusedly asked "Why would a Decepticon want a hug?" Blackout looked a bit annoyed recalling what had occurred to his parasite partner. "When we were downloading files on Earth we hit a problem with scorpy here, the files started to rewire his personality drive making him want hugs. He also learned how to cry. I am still trying to make him like he used to be."
Scorponok excitedly stated in Cybertronian  "^%&&**%&&$%&^?" Blackout looked unimpressed  "Scorponok how many times must…I…tell…you? YOU ARE NOT A CHILD, NOR DO YOU HAVE A MOMMY!" Scorponok looked up with a sad face as his antennae looking metal panels drooped down "#$ ^&(%% $%^%&$$!" After which started to make sounds like a computer crying. Taiya got mad at Blackout "Well you don't have to be mean to the poor little guy." Petting Scorponok's head and gave him a big hug  "Thank you for catching me" "^^%&%$&*($#” Blackout just covered his Optics with his hand.

Two small laughs were heard. Taiya recognized the two mischievous cons from the night before. Frenzy and Rumble were also accompanied by a larger blue transformer, a giant bird like con, and a RATHER LARGE MECHANICAL PANTHER. Taiya made a slight scream and climbed onto Scorponok's back. “Oh man who did Barricade piss off?” Said Frenzy. “It was Blackout.” A con with a dark brown and black color scheme. “Figures.” Rumble stated.

The large blue transformer spoke "Blackout files were sent last night successfully and are in need of verification." "Thank you Soundwave I will get to that after I get some Energon, it looks like Ravage here is scaring my new PET a bit." Soundwave  spoke with coldness in his voice "Ravage." The panther moved away and went back to Soundwave's side and Frenzy walked over to Taiya."What's up Taiya? And what happened to your shirt?" Frenzy asked confused.” “I don't really know, I am so confused. All I know is, I don't think that Barricade likes me very much." Rumble cut in "Don’t waste a blip on him. He doesn't like anybody, at least if they can’t do anything for him." Frenzy waved to his stead "HEY SOUNDWAVE!" "Yes Frenzy?" "This is Taiya. Blackout’s PET.” "The one we will make modifications on?" Soundwave asked. "Yeah." Rumble answered. Soundwave bent down to get a good look at her.  "Taiya, name not recognized by system, further investigation needed." “That's not her ability Soundwave, that's her name." Frenzy corrected. "Name is not logical." Soundwave corrected. Taiya getting frustrated at her name being belittled "What's with everyone and my name, ITS MY NAME." Rumble shrugged off what Taiya said. "So, Soundwave, got any ideas yet to what we can do with her?" "Basic sensors will be needed, but further research will be required for optimum efficiency. I am thinking some small weapons may aid the girl in battle." "HOW ABOUT SOME SHURIKEN LAUNCHERS?" Frenzy said with excitement. Rumble laughed "Why? So she can get her butt kicked like you did? Why do I get the feeling you are trying to make Frenzy Ver.2?" Frenzy arms crossed looked at his twin with resent "What's wrong with making someone more like me, I am the one that rocks remember?" "Oh please you of all cons know I am the one that rocks." Blackout realizing something was off "Wait a nano-click! She just got here. How do you two know who she is already!?" Rumble and Frenzy looked at him guilt ridden. Before Blackout could speak a familiar voice bellowed within the walls of the nemesis. “BLACKOUT!!!!!!”
