TransFormers: Legacy

I've been writing this fan fiction for a little while, and I've finally decided to post it. I also have another one I'm writing and posting right now, so as a result this one may experience a delay in the addition of the next chapter, but I'll try to keep on top of things! This is the beginning of my own continuity, which I have decided to name "Legacy". I have an entire universe planned out, and even a Wreckers special! At first though, it will probably just be getting the world established. Happy reading!


Josephine heard the roaring of jet engines over her head. She looked up out the windshield of her car and saw a military-styled fighter jet. What’s that doing around here? She thought. The jet quickly flew in front of her, but once it got to the front of a line of cars on the highway plates on it started to shift and spin. Soon the entire jet was just a jumble of metallic plates all moving and locking into place. This all occurred in a matter of seconds before a tall, lean robot was standing in the middle of the road.

There goes my afternoon. She though as the robot took out the first car with its fist and screamed, “Pathetic insects! You dare not yield to Slipstream! I’ll teach you!” It then cut a second vehicle in half with a wickedly sharp looking blade that converted from its hand.

She heard the car before she saw it. It was speeding up the highway towards the metal beast.
“No! It’ll crush you!” she screamed out the window at the car. But it didn’t stop; instead it drove straight toward the towering brute. Before it could hit the robot, the car too “transformed” into a giant robot, smaller than the jet-robot, but still very large.

The yellow car-robot slammed into the jet-robot, Slipstream, and knocked her off her feet. Before the car-robot hit the ground it morphed its hand into a cannon, and the other hand was converted into a pointed weapon that was laced with electricity. It jabbed the “stinger” into Slipstream and the result was electrifying! Slipstream was electrocuted, her optics flashed, and she seemed to be having a sort of spasm.

Can robots even have spasms? Apparently. When Slipstream recovered from her shock she spun on her back and swung her legs, knocking the car-robots out from under him, “You thought you stingers could actually hurt me, Bumblebee? Nice try, scout!”

Bumblebee just glared at her. If looks could kill… Josephine thought with a slight chuckle. However, she noticed something Slipstream hadn’t, Bumblebee’s gun was charging up, and Josephine could guess what was going to happen next…

Slipstream started to approach Bumblebee, but before she could get too close Bumblebee raised his arm and shot Slipstream on her right shoulder. Slipstream must have been ready for such an attack, because she recovered quickly from the blow and aimed her Null Rays at Bumblebee. She fired on him and knocked him back into some trees that were on the edge of the highway. The trees were ripped out of the ground by the impact and they laid in a mess on the ground, some even blocking the road.

Bumblebee was a tough Autobot, and he ran at Slipstream with his plasma cannon firing at Slipstream on his right arm, and his stinger activated on his left. Slipstream realized that the fight wasn’t going the way she had wanted it to, so she jumped into the air, performed a flip as she converted back into her jet mode and flew off.

Bumblebee had noticed Josie watching the fight, even though all the other humans had left the scene.

There’s something special about this one, he thought. He approached her, and as he did he converted his weapons away.

Josie looked up at Bumblebee’s face and said, “What are you?”

Bumblebee responded with a lot of static, but Josie could hear a scratchy voice say, “You’ll find out,” under the static. Then Bumblebee transformed back into his muscle car mode and opened his driver-side door. Josephine knew that meant she was supposed to get in. She ran over to her car, grabbed her stuff out of it (she never really kept much in it), threw it into Bumblebee’s back seat, and climbed into the driver’s seat.

Bumblebee began driving off once Josie had put her seat belt on. The edges of the highway were mostly trees, so she didn’t have much to look at outside the windows, but inside was much more interesting anyway.

Bumblebee’s dashboard was covered in high-tech sensors and dials. Dull red lights surrounded every gauge and button. In the center of his steering wheel was a silver Autobot faction symbol, just like the red one on Bumblebee’s hood.

When Bumblebee drove onto a side street, it was still daylight. As he drove down winding roads, each one going in a different direction, the sky began to get dark. Before long, night had completely fallen, and Bumblebee had to turn on his headlights. Josephine had gotten tired, and the movement of Bumblebee’s car mode made her tired. She looked at the clock on Bumblebee’s stereo, and it read 11:37 PM.

Well, I don’t have to concentrate on driving, Josie thought with a yawn. Bumblebee turned his radio on and quietly played calming music. Before long, she was asleep, her head resting on the back of her seat.

Bumblebee continued driving for a long time. Finally, he came to the side of a mountain; he stayed idle next to it for a moment, then the mountain split in half and began to slide open. It was a pair of large doors. Bumblebee drove inside, and the doors closed behind him.

After driving through a short, metal tunnel, Bumblebee came into a large chamber. There other Autobots stood. One that was red and white was working on a computer console; another that was only red was over in a corner working on his weapons, which were to huge cannons on either of his arms. A third Autobot that was white, with some red and blue stripes stood next to the red-Autobot. The largest of the group, who was colored red and blue, had noticed Bumblebee’s arrival.

“Bumblebee, how did it go?” he asked.

The noise of the red-Autobot working on his weapons, and the other Autobot speaking must have woken Josie up. Bumblebee had opened his door and she walked out yawning and not fully awake yet.

The red and white-Autobot jumped at the sight of her, “Bumblebee! You brought back a human!”

Once again, Bumblebee spoke, but his words were only barely audible over the static, “Obviously, she had seen my entire fight with Slipstream. There’s something different about this huma…” His voice had cut out at the end.

The largest of the Autobots kneeled down next to a surprised Josephine and introduced him and the others, “I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. The others here are my medical officer, Ratchet,” he gestured to the red and white-Autobot, “My weapons specialist, Ironhide,” the red-Autobot gave a grunt, “and my first lieutenant, Jazz.” The white, red, and blue-Autobot smiled and nodded in Josie’s direction.

“H-hi,” she said to them in a small voice.

Bumblebee, who had remained in car mode, transformed as she said that, her stuff that had been in the back seat ending up in his hand, and he set it down next to her. He then walked over to Ratchet, who started working on his vocal processor.

Josephine voiced her earlier question then, “W-what are you?”

Optimus responded by saying, “We are sentient robotic organisms from another planet, called Cybertron. We can assume the shape of any technological device we choose.”

Optimus went on, “We have come to your planet hunting the Decepticons; evil Cybertronians who wish to create ‘peace through tyranny’, as their leader, Megatron, says. We Autobots fight for freedom, but lately it has been a difficult war…” His voice trailed off.

Josephine had thought it would be unwise to ask more. Instead she changed the subject of the conversation, “So… what about me? Am I going to go back home, or do I have to stay here; and what about my car? I had to leave it behind…”

“You should stay here for the time being, and then we will send you home with Autobot protection. Bumblebee,” he looked away from Ratchet at Optimus Prime, “You will be her guardian from now on. You will have to accompany her home tomorrow.”

“So I have to spend the night here?”

“That would be best. I’ll send Ironhide and Jazz out to monitor your home town and make sure more Decepticons like Slipstream aren’t lurking nearby,” with that Optimus turned at Ironhide and Jazz and nodded. They both transformed; Ironhide into a large SUV, and Jazz into a small sports car. They drove off to the tunnel and out of sight.

Josie walked over to her stuff, picked it up and looked up at the Autobots and asked, “Where should I sleep?”

In response to that Bumblebee transformed, opened his door, and made the driver’s seat move forward, revealing the bench seat in the back.

“Alrighty then,” she said and climbed into Bumblebee. Once she was inside Bumblebee closed the door and drove to a different, quieter area of the base.

Thanks guys! Here's the next chapter!

Josephine woke up in Bumblebee’s back seat and wondered where she was. How had I fallen asleep in the back of my car? She wondered. The she looked at the dashboard and realized that she was not in her car. Then it all came flooding back to her.

Bumblebee must have noticed she had awoken, because he had been driving back to the main room of the Autobot base as she was remembering this. He halted in the center of the room and opened his door to allow her to climb clumsily out. Optimus Prime was standing a short distance away and Josie looked up at him and asked:

“So I’m going home now?”

“Yes, Ironhide and Jazz came back earlier, before you awoke, and reported no Decepticon activity last night. Bumblebee will still be accompanying you home, but otherwise we urge you to live your life like you always have.”

“What if my friends ask where I got the sweet new ride from?” she knew her friends would ask, and she really didn’t what that pressure to be put on her.

“You appear to be bright, I’m sure you will be able to think of something.”

Great, she thought as she walked back to Bumblebee. She climbed into his driver’s seat and he closed the door. As he drove off, Optimus Prime said a farewell:

“Guard her, Bumblebee, but stay safe yourself...”


The ride to Josie’s house was much shorter than the one to the Autobot base. She hated working so far away from home; it took her far too long to get to and from work.

When Bumblebee pulled up in the driveway, Josie took the garage remote out of her purse and used it to open the door.

Once the garage door was closed, and Josie had taken her things out of Bumblebee’s back seat, he transformed into his robot mode. He had to crouch a lot, but he still fit.

“So… what now?” he said in his hoarse voice under the prevalent static.

“I’m going to go see if some of my friends have free schedules today, and I’ll plan it from that. I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to stay in here,” she said as she gave him a look of sympathy. She put her hand on his cold, metallic cheek and gave him a sympathetic pat.

“We’ll hang out some other time. I promise,” and with that she was about to walk through the door that connected the garage to the rest of the house, but instead she turned back to Bumblebee, sighed, and said:

“How about I just go put my things inside, then we can go out for a drive?” Bumblebee perked up significantly at those words.

In a few moments Josephine had walked back out the door, locked it, and walked towards Bumblebee, who had converted back into his muscle car mode. Once she was inside, his engine roared to life, and the red lights lit up around his dashboard instruments. She had opened the garage door before she got in Bumblebee, so he had pulled out as soon as she had her seat belt on.

Bumblebee had rolled down his windows, and the wind blew past Josephine, diffusing her long hair in all directions. She had her hands on his steering wheel, but Bumblebee was doing all the driving. She just had to make his disguise look convincing. The red clock on the dashboard read 11:48 AM, plenty of time for Bumblebee to enjoy his freedom, and for Josie to enjoy riding in such an awesome car!

Unfortunately, Bumblebee couldn’t talk while he was in vehicle mode, so Josie didn’t have someone to talk to, but Bumblebee’s company was good enough for her. Josie hadn’t turned on the radio, so the only sound was the wind rushing through the open window. Bumblebee weaved his way through many side streets, some led through thickly wooded forests; another ran by a large river.

There wasn’t much traffic on the roads that day, so for the most part it was just Josie and Bumblebee.

By the time they pulled back into Josie’s garage, it was 5:26 PM, according to Bumblebee’s dashboard clock. Tomorrow, which was Sunday; she would take her friends for a ride in “her new car”. That way Bumblebee wouldn’t be so lonely. She hated the thought of leaving him all alone; it wasn’t exactly his choice to become her guardian. The least Josie could do was not leave him all by himself.

cool, can't wait for more!

awesome !!! can't wait to read more !!! !!!

Thanks! Here's the next one!

Back at the Autobot base, Jazz had just returned from patrol.

“No Decepticons sighted yet, Prime. Don’t worry; I’m sure Bumblebee will be able to hold his own against any enemy. He’s one tough little Autobot!” Optimus had been voicing his worries about Bumblebee since he had left, and Jazz had been one of the first to notice.

“Bumblebee is our scout for a reason, Prime. He knows what he’s getting into. Don’t forget, he drove Slipstream away single-handedly! That’s gotta count for something!”

“Yes, Jazz, You are correct on that account. I should not be so worried. Bumblebee is a brave soldier; he will protect the human girl, Josephine, well. His disguise will be all the more convincing with a real driver.”

With that Jazz turned away and walked to another room, he thought it would be best to leave Optimus Prime with his thoughts.

Josephine had invited her friends, Samuel and Alexander, for a ride in her new car the next day. Luckily, neither of them asked where she had gotten it from, but it was only a matter of time before they did. Alex was riding shotgun, and Sam was in the bench in the back. When she had told Bumblebee in the morning he had seemed ecstatic! He must have been glad to have so much company, even if they can’t know he exists.

Josie and her friends were talking when one of them noticed a strange sight; a military-like communications truck was speeding down the road towards them. It was a dark blue-gray and had antennas and a satellite dish on top. There was a spare tire on one side.

The truck drove up next to Bumblebee and kept a constant speed with him. It quickly overtook Bumblebee and when it was just in front of him it transformed into a monstrous Decepticon. It had a red-colored visor instead of eyes, and once he had finished converting a mouth plate slid over. The Decepticon’s name: Soundwave.

Bumblebee transformed quickly and Josie and her friends ended up in his hands. He set them down and drew his plasma cannons. Soundwave drew a shotgun to go with the cannon on his right shoulder.

With no exchanged words the two Cybertronians began firing on each other. Bumblebee fired one shot and performed a back flip into a ditch on the side of the road. From that point he was more protected, and fired again on Soundwave. The blast struck him on the left shoulder, and Soundwave fired a retaliating blast that destroyed the guard rain between the ditch Bumblebee was hiding in and the road.

From behind his cover, Bumblebee deactivated the plasma cannon on his right arm, and replaced it with one of his stingers. He shot one blast again at the large Decepticon, and leaped out from behind his ditch. He buried his stinger into a gap in Soundwave’s armor, causing the same effect it had on Slipstream.

He recovered faster than Bumblebee had expected, and grabbed Bumblebee’s leg, knocking him off his feet. Then he aimed his shoulder cannon at the Autobot, and charged it up to fire. Bumblebee used the slow charging time to his advantage, and fired his plasma cannon, causing Soundwave to shoot at the sky.

Bumblebee activated his built-in communications radio and sent out for back up from Autobot base. He would have to hold against Soundwave until they could arrive. The two Cybertronians dueled ferociously; Bumblebee gracefully dodging most of Soundwave’s attacks and Soundwave not being affected by Bumblebee’s. The other Autobots would have to arrive soon to turn the tide of the battle.

A car drove along the empty road the battle was on, and Soundwave picked it up and hurled it at Bumblebee. Bumblebee managed to catch it and set in back down on the road in one fluid motion. Soundwave used that momentary distraction to launch himself at Bumblebee. Bumble bee managed to stick his stinger into Soundwave again before he could make contact, and he was sent into spasms once again.

The fight had been going on for a very long time. Josie checked her watch and it said 7:49 PM. Night was beginning to fall.

Bumblebee noticed this as well, and turned on his car headlights, which were on his chest. This gave him two advantages; being able to see better, and temporarily blinding Soundwave. His optics had been adjusted for darkness, so the bright light surprised Soundwave.

Then a brighter light appeared behind Bumblebee. The light moved around, sometimes being blocked, until it was much higher off the ground. Ironhide had come to assist Bumblebee.

Realizing he was outnumbered, Soundwave converted back into vehicle mode and drove off. He had failed in his mission; he hadn’t captured one of the humans, as Megatron had instructed.

Ironhide walked up to Bumblebee, who had walked back to where the three humans had hidden in the tree line.

“Bumblebee, what were you thinking! Engaging an enemy on your own! You could have gotten you and the humans killed!” he shouted at the scout.

Bumblebee replied with, “It was either engage, or crash into him. I chose option one!”

“It’s alright Bumblebee. Next time though, call for back up as soon as you see something suspicious.”

Bumblebee gave Ironhide a silent salute to show he understood. He didn’t like to push his vocal processor more than he had to.

“Now, let’s take these humans back to base. These other two have seen us; we must protect them as well.” With that Ironhide transformed back into his SUV mode, and opened the door for one of them to get in. Sam took that option, while the other two climbed back into Bumblebee.

awesome !!! !!! !!!

great way to introduce the new characters! keep it up!

Thanks! Here's (finally) the next chapter!
Ironhide pulled into the Autobot base first, followed by Bumblebee. Optimus Prime looked at the pair as their doors opened and the three humans stepped out.

“What happened?” Optimus asked Ironhide when he converted into his robot mode.

“Well,” he said in his rough voice, “Bumblebee met up with Soundwave while these three humans were going for a drive with him.” As he said that Bumblebee transformed and walked over to Ratchet, who began to work on his vocal processors again.

Optimus sighed, “So these others saw the fight?”

“Yes, Prime.”

“Then we must protect them as well, the Decepticons are getting more reckless; we must keep the humans here at base for now. Ironhide, you will guard the one that came in you. Jazz,” Jazz looked up, “You will be the other’s guardian.”

“Aye, Prime!” Ironhide replied. Jazz simply nodded in assent.

“So we’re going to have to stay here for how long, exactly?” Samuel asked.

Optimus replied, “For as long as we deem necessary, we cannot allow any of you to be harmed because of our war. The Decepticons have seen you; Soundwave records everything he sees. The Decepticons will believe you to be working with us and will attack you if we allow you to leave our immediate sight.”

“Where will we sleep?” Josie asked.

“There are rooms all over our facility. Sometimes your military stayed with us in times of great peril. Those areas should be sufficient. Bumblebee will show you the way.” Bumblebee moved his arm in a sign that said, “This way,” and the three humans followed, Josie grabbing her purse before following.

Bumblebee pointed them into a small room off of the main hall of the base. Josie said a quick, “Thanks, Bee,” and followed the others inside. The inside of the room had four doors that led to other, even smaller rooms with beds that came out of the wall.

“So,” Alex said, “What now?”

Sam replied by saying, “I guess we just hang out here for now; the Autobots said it’s too dangerous for us to be out there at this time. They’re probably right… After seeing Bumblebee fight off that Decepticon, and what the Decepticon could do, I don’t blame them…”

Josie added to the conversation by saying, “Trust me, the Autobots can be trusted. If they say we can’t leave here for a while, then I’m going to listen.”

Sam walked towards one of the other rooms and said, “Well, it’s been a long day, I’m turning in. Wake me up when more impending robot carnage erupts.”

With that the other two followed suit, going into two of the other three vacant rooms.
