Looking for Rodimus\u2019 friend was going to take a tremendous effort and needed all Autobots to give it their all. Prowl was communicating with Jazz while he was on patrol. \u201cSo far,\u201d he reported, \u201cit\u2019s just a few petty crooks that needed to be taught a lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll right, you\u2019re due in, according to Ultra Magnus\u2019 timetable,\u201d remarked Jazz. \u201cHead on back and&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHold that thought,\u201d interrupted Prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat is it?\u201d asked Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt looks like a trio of bots are setting up cameras outside Cream\u2019s school,\u201d explained Prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCan you give me a visual?\u201d requested Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn it,\u201d replied Prowl. One of his headlights pulled its cover back and revealed a camera with a connection to the base. \u201cOh, Primus,\u201d moaned Prowl once he got a better look. One of the bots was Hot Rod, the second bot was a green femme with a red helmet, and the third bot was a mech with wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHey! It\u2019s the <em>Alien Hunt!<\/em> crew!\u201d called Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re setting up for another episode,\u201d deduced Prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;At Cream\u2019s school?\u201d asked Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, this IS an alien world,\u201d reminded Prowl. \u201cMaybe there\u2019s some members of their audience that want to see more peaceful worlds.\u201d Once it was determined everything was set up, the mech with wings started speaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cG\u2019Day, all you secret hunters!\u201d he began. \u201cI\u2019m Meteorfire!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m Cosmos!\u201d introduced the green femme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m Hot Rod!\u201d continued Hot Rod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd it\u2019s time for <em>Alien Hunt!<\/em>\u201d all three finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd today, by popular demand,\u201d Meteorfire went on, \u201cwe\u2019re taking a look at an Earth Educational Facility!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll right, everyone,\u201d called the principal, a female Mobian pig, \u201clet\u2019s get to class. Giant, shape-shifting, alien robots aren\u2019t anything new nowadays.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cExcuse me, Mrs. Hammly,\u201d replied Cream, \u201cbut these robots are new.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure your Autobot friends can take of this, Ms. Cream,\u201d assured Mrs. Hammly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlthough,\u201d Cosmos continued from Meteorfire\u2019s previous sentence, \u201cthis planet\u2019s no longer called \u2018Earth\u2019 anymore. Because of increased diversity and an awareness of other dimensions, the planet was renamed \u2018Mobius\u2019. A good thing, in my opinion. Can you imagine calling your planet \u2018Dirt\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis world\u2019s been attacked by the Xordas\u2019 mutation wave,\u201d Hot Rod went on, \u201cbut it didn\u2019t go as the Xorda wanted. The animals attacked the Xorda and made new civilizations!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust like their past,\u201d continued Meteorfire, \u201cMobian schools are a rich epicenter of diversity and culture! However, me and my mates figure that it\u2019s more than that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThanks to this Solstar Neutralizer,\u201d called Cosmos as she pulled out a fancy-looking gun, \u201cwe\u2019ll find out how much more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWait, SOLSTAR?!\u201d yelped Jazz over Prowl\u2019s radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd the serial number says that it\u2019s Rom\u2019s Neutralizer,\u201d growled Prowl. \u201cThat\u2019s it, I\u2019m moving in!\u201d Prowl transformed and stormed up to the <em>Alien Hunt! <\/em>crew. \u201cHEY!\u201d he barked. \u201cI\u2019m placing you three under arrest for theft of Solstar&#8230;!\u201d He didn\u2019t get far as Cosmos used the gun to fire a ray of light at the school! As the inhabitants of the school were bathed in the light, several staff members and students changed into unearthly body shapes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t believe it!\u201d cheered Hot Rod. \u201cThe rumors are true!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, when the stars align!\u201d cheered Meteorfire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLadies and gentlemen, your means of viewing do not need adjustment!\u201d assured Cosmos. \u201cSo many races supposedly went extinct during the Great War! But, as you can plainly see, that\u2019s not true! They\u2019ve just been relocated to Mobius!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLook at them all!\u201d sighed Meteorfire happily. \u201cThe Ancient Energon Masters, Clorans, the Nibarians, the&#8230;Skuxxoids?\u201d The School bully was an alien that looked like a cross between a pig and a lizard. \u201cWait, you\u2019re an adult. Why are you among children? Pit, why are you even on this planet? Your species is thriving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEr, I\u2019m on the run from a horrible marriage,\u201d explained the Skuxxoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter!\u201d dismissed Hot Rod. He then turned to Prowl whose mouth was wide open in stark surprise. \u201cWell, Prowlio?\u201d chuckled Hot Rod. \u201cAmazed that there are so many species?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;So&#8230;many&#8230;\u201d squeaked Prowl. \u201cSo many&#8230;so many rules broken!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Huh?\u201d asked Cosmos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou IDIOTS broke too many rules!\u201d shouted Prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWha&#8230;there\u2019s gratitude for you!\u201d snapped Meteorfire. \u201cWe rediscover so many species and you\u2019re angry about broken rules?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHold on, did you know that the species that were declared extinct,\u201d interjected Cosmos, \u201cwere still alive?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery Autobot law enforcer and their bosses, and that includes the Prime,\u201d replied Prowl, \u201cknew they were still alive!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo why hide it from the rest of us?!\u201d demanded Hot Rod. Just then, the school\u2019s trees grabbed the <em>Alien Hunt!<\/em> crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, for Primus\u2019 sake,\u201d growled Meteorfire, \u201cif this is the result of a Majip&#8230;!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWatch the slurs!\u201d snarled a woman\u2019s voice. Cosmo and Trema then stormed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA Seedrian?!\u201d yelped Cosmos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne who shares a name with you,\u201d growled Cosmo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCosmo?\u201d quizzed Meteorfire. \u201cDid you regenerate or something?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNever mind the distant past, let\u2019s focus on the more recent past!\u201d snarled Cosmo. \u201cI thought you and Cosmos learned your lesson after the Alovan Meteor incident! Looks like I was wrong since you\u2019re dragging a kid into all this!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFirst off, I\u2019m 3,000, a fully-functioning adult&#8230;!\u201d interjected Hot Rod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhatever,\u201d dismissed Cosmo as she returned to ripping into Meteorfire. \u201cThanks to your big broadcast of 4020, the Galactic Council and the Black Block Consortia are harassing me to get answers! Also, Rom wants his gun back!\u201d She commanded the trees to release the content creators, then she picked Meteorfire up by the shoulder. \u201cAren\u2019t you an Autobot?!\u201d she continued as she jabbed at the symbol on Meteorfire\u2019s chest. \u201cYou\u2019re supposed to keep the peace, not shatter it to pieces!\u201d Meteorfire swatted her hand aside and got nose to nose with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a content creator first and foremost!\u201d he snarled. \u201cBesides, are you really the one to lecture me on priorities? Why are you with a Nebulan?! Last I checked, your species hated each other!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s changed once we entered the Autobot Alliance,\u201d replied Trema. \u201cAnd I\u2019d say she IS the one to lecture you on priorities! The Galactic Council intercepted your transmission and noticed you were on all pan-galactic frequencies! Even Decepticonversations picked it up! You know, Decepticon social media?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOaky, so, maybe we can do without Decepticon subscribers,\u201d muttered Meteorfire. Hot Rod and Cosmos then looked at him as if he had two heads!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, you\u2019re taking responsibility for this?\u201d asked Cosmo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPit no!\u201d snapped Meteorfire. \u201cYou ruined <em>Alien Hunt!\u2019<\/em>s big comeback, you Majip!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis planet has plenty to offer, so we\u2019ll be looking for a new angle!\u201d declared Cosmos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd if any bad guys come our way, we\u2019ll beat them up for you!\u201d finished Hot Rod. \u201cHOT ROD, TRANSFORM!\u201d Hot Rod\u2019s chest flipped up as his shoulders joined the sides of the chest so it became a car\u2019s hood. His feet folded outwards, then his lower legs folded at the knee joints and came together to become a car\u2019s rear. The wings he had rotated 180\u2070 to become tailfins, completing his alt-mode\u2019s sports car look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCOSMOS, TRANSFORM!\u201d Cosmos\u2019 head swung back on an assembly while the arms and legs swung out and attached themselves to one another, making her a green fighter craft with a red dome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMETEORFIRE, TRANSFORM!\u201d Meteorfire\u2019s legs swung to his back and formed a jet\u2019s rear while his arms tucked themselves into his chest and his chest swung up to become a jet\u2019s fuselage. The three bots then activated their holo-forms. Hot Rod\u2019s was a Mobian Cheetah, Cosmos was a Mobian Hare, and Meteorfire was a Mobian Peregrine Falcon. The camera followed the three bots as they escaped their accusers. \u201cSo, despite this setback, we still proved that some of the ancient \u2018extinct\u2019 races aren\u2019t so dead after all!\u201d Meteorfire said to the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll be back after things have cooled down,\u201d continued Cosmos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd, like we promised the downer patrol,\u201d Hot Rod went on, \u201cwe\u2019ll beat up anyone that wants to take advantage of them. But, for now&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTHANKS FOR HUNTING WITH US!\u201d called all three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRemember to smash that Like button!\u201d called Hot Rod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cObliterate the Share button!\u201d cheered Cosmos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd conquer that Subscribe button like a Hunter!\u201d finished Meteorfire. \u201cThanks for tuning in, all you ripper mates, and we\u2019ll see you all&#8230;\u201d he then made the \u201cDevil\u201d sign \u201cON THE NEXT <em>ALIEN HUNT!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Back at Cream\u2019s school, Cosmo, Trema, and Prowl looked at the smoke trails the three streamers left in their escape. Prowl then looked down and saw the Solstar Neutralizer on the ground. \u201cWell,\u201d he sighed as he picked it up, \u201cat least Rom\u2019s getting his gun back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, but the Galactic Council\u2019s gonna have a stroke over this!\u201d groaned Cosmo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Autobots will assist in cleaning up this mess,\u201d assured Prowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf the Council gives you people the chance,\u201d muttered Trema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf I know Optimus,\u201d remarked Prowl, \u201cWe\u2019ll still assist whether it meets Council Approval or not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCouncilors, I promise you&#8230;!\u201d Optimus tried to explain to the Galactic Council over an audio-only call in his office. \u201c&#8230;Yes, I AM aware of how many&#8230;no, no, this is not nor&#8230;I understand. Don\u2019t worry, we WILL fix this. &#8230;Very well. Good day.\u201d Once the call ended, Optimus shouted in frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMay I come in?\u201d asked Rodimus\u2019 voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs a matter of fact, yes!\u201d snapped Optimus. Rodimus stepped in and Optimus jabbed an accusing finger at him. \u201cYour past self is an immature brat who works with anti-mage idiots!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAh, so you DID hear about Meteorfire using \u2018Majip\u2019 earlier today,\u201d remarked Rodimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow he becomes YOU is beyond me!\u201d snarled Optimus. \u201cAs I understand it, Kup put the brakes on you a few times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe did,\u201d replied Rodimus. \u201cI take it you\u2019re calling him here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am!\u201d declared Optimus. \u201cAnd YOU\u2019RE going to help Kup get Hot Rod under control! If he fails to do ANYTHING that isn\u2019t self-serving, I\u2019m holding you two personally responsible, is that clear?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCrystal clear, Sir,\u201d confirmed Rodimus. \u201cI\u2019ll call Kup, if you wish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, you need to do some preliminary work in getting Hot Rod to slow down,\u201d directed Optimus. \u201cI\u2019ll call Kup after I talk with Prowl.
