I'm Your Friend... — Description
"Requesting immediate backup to my position! I'm being attacked by a Pterosaur Dinobot!"

Strongarm's plea had immediately caught Bumblebee's attention, and he'd immediately ordered a groundbridge to Strongarm's location. He hoped that this wasn't who he thought it was. After all, his friend would never harm another bot intentionally... at least, not under normal circumstances.

The groundbridge dropped them on top of a rocky ridge, and although Sideswipe and Drift drew their weapons at once, Bumblebee hesitated as his eyes skimmed the surroundings. Several boulders had been shattered by the tussle, but neither the cadet nor the dinobot were seen.

He finally caught sight of Strongarm as she peeked out from behind another boulder. "Lieutenant! It's circling back!" She replied, pointing to where an airborne shape was rapidly advancing towards the ridge.
His spark plummeted as he recognized the orange and white color scheme. It was his friend... What had happened?

"What are we dealing with, Strongarm?" Sideswipe asked as he pulled her over to their side.

"Sharp clawed feet and a sonic scream." Strongarm reported. "That scream is mostly what caused the destruction up here."

Bumblebee shook his head. "E-Everyone hold your fire." He ordered. "...Maybe I can reason with him."

"Are you familiar with this dinobot?" Drift asked.

Bumblebee nodded, then took a few steps forward. "Blades!" He called.

"Wait...Blades? As in the Rescue Bot?" Sideswipe asked.

Bumblebee gave a nod, then took a few steps back as Blades landed in front of him, wings outstretched in a sign of aggression. His optics were orange rather than their normal blue, and there seemed to be no intelligence in their stare. "Hey...Blades...It's me, Bumblebee... Remember?"
After a few seconds, the dinobot folded his wings, taking a few steps towards Bumblebee. "Yeah... That's it. I'm your friend, Blades..."

"I've never seen a dinobot act feral like that..." Strongarm murmured.

Bumblebee reached his hand up towards Blades' snout. "Shh...What's the matter? Can you change back...? To vehicle mode, or robot mode...?"

Blades' eyes shifted a little, taking a greenish tone and gaining some recognition in them. "Bu...Bumblebee..." He whispered. He shook his head hard, then his optics finally returned to blue. "...Bumblebee...!"

"Yeah, Bud...It's me."

"Great." Sideswipe replied. "Now that you're back to normal, can we get an explanation about why you're suddenly a dinobot?"

Blades looked towards them, then gave a sigh. "It's...It's a long story..."
