Behold! Wrecars! Took a while for me to post them but here they are. (Yes I know Arcee, Prowl, and Kup technically aren't Wreckers but shhh) (they're in SOTW so they're in here)
Long post ahead. Look at the #Shattered EarthSpark AU tag for previous entrees. A masterpost will be made in due time. I really should've added a Read More/Keep Reading to this series earlier, but oh well.
The sun finally disappeared beyond the horizon as two vehicles rolled into the train yard. The harvest gold and bright red SUV was in front, while the black and orange truck followed behind the other. They rolled up to one of the containers before transforming into their root modes.
"You sure this is the place, Roadbuster?" the black and orange mecha asked. Nervousness fizzled in his electromagnetic field, red optics staring at the other.
"I'm sure!" the harvest gold and green mecha replied before grabbing the container's door and opening it. The navy blue near black of energon stared back at them. "Bingo! See, Twintwist?" Roadbuster looked at the other with his bright red visor.
"Energon," Twintwist said, a happy tone filtering into his voice as the nervousness died away from his field. "That's amazing! I didn't expect that tip to lead to anything, but--"
Something landed harshly behind them, causing the duo to turn around, then immediately go into a defensive pose.
In front of them was a large mostly red mecha with dark blue highlights and a brilliant white visor. "Arms of Ruination: decepted," the mecha stated. From the kibble on them, their alt mode was a stealth aircraft of sorts, and their chest plate appeared to be able to shift and move out of the way of something.
"Soundwave?!" Twintwist squeaked.
"War: over. Peace and reform: offered," Soundwave stated as Roadbuster's plating rattled.
"Frag off!" Roadbuster roared, then bolted towards Soundwave. The former cassette master easily moved out of the way. Soundwave turned to face Roadbuster as he grabbed the ground to slow his momentum. Twintwist attempted to run, but froze up when a white and blue helicopter with two flight point flew down and transformed into its root mode, shining blue eyes looking towards Twintwist. The lower half of their face was covered by a face mask.
Roadbuster growled, whipping out a long, bladed scythe colored silver and black before he bolted towards Soundwave once more. He dodged out of the way again and took out a sound blaster. Soundwave pointed it at Roadbuster as slammed his scythe into one of the containers to quickly turn around. Roadbuster's optics widened before the gun activated and he was blasted back, scythe being throwing farther back compared to Roadbuster.
Twintwist bolted as the white and blue frame got on top of the fallen containers and took out a blaster, though a closer look at the device would show it was only meant for stunning and forcing into stasis, not for any serious harm. They aimed the blaster at Twintwist and fired. The bolt crashed into Twintwist and he collapsed onto the ground, electricity forcing them not to move.
Soundwave glanced towards the other as Roadbuster pushed himself up before a sudden screech caused all of them to look towards the source of the noise.
An odd scorpion-like drone slammed itself into the largest of the group, slapping itself onto their face and making them drop the stun blaster. They quickly grabbed it and threw it off as more of the drones appeared out from beyond the containers like a flood, rushing towards the Cybertronians.
"Ah scrap," Roadbuster commented as Soundwave turned towards the scorpions. Roadbuster turned, transformed, and promptly fled as Soundwave began blasting the approaching drones. The other managed to grab the blaster before of the drones did, quickly using it as a more blunt weapon to destroy the strange scorpions.
They failed to notice the large, somehow inconspicuous ant-like drone that approached the still stunned Twintwist. Its abdomen opened up to reveal an empty casing and wire-like tentacles coming out. The wires grabbed Twintwist and dragged him into the open abdomen before it closed up and the mechanical ant walked away, unnoticed by anyone.
By the time all the scorpion drones were destroyed, the duo finally noticed the disappearance of Twintwist and Roadbuster. The larger of the two was quiet before Soundwave put away his own blaster and came up to him. The former cassette master then promptly began to tap at the face mask, almost insistently as he stared into the others optics.
The mask finally slip back and Soundwave stopped, lowering his servo. "Better," Soundwave declared. "Megatron: has reason for deploying mask during the mission?"
The white and bright blue mech was quiet for a moment before he answered, "Forgive me. Things regarding the Autobots that haven't reformed are... becoming frustrating. We are still unable to find a good few of them."
"Soundwave: acknowledges," the stealth alt replied before going to one of the destroyed drones and picking it up.
"And you do know their names are Twintwist and Roadbuster, correct?"
"Whirl: only piece of Ruination that has Soundwave's respect."
Megatron hummed in response as Soundwave came back over with the drone. The Decepticon leader looked at the drone as Soundwave held it in view. "Is it Cybertronian?" Megatron asked.
