On Phobos (a moon on [[Mars]]) [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] are posing in front of their new [[Decepticon]] friends. A very unimpressed [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] tells the twins he needs their ''full'' attention during the mission briefing. The former Autobots explain they are a risk-taking, free spirited mavericks, not stifled boring grunts (er, no offence mean, guys, stop growling at us [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]]!), and retrieving "some throwback" for "re-educating" is hardly a biggie. Soundwave tells them to just go and warns them not to fail him.

The twins leave for [[Earth]]. [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] express their distrust and annoyance with the two, but Soundwave explains to them that Skids and Mudflap are merely bait for their target, a dangerous soldier who has survived countless years on Earth. Grindor and Sideways will be waiting to take over once the target is drawn out... and if the twins survive, to ''rectify'' that...


* '''Lettering:''' [[Andrew James]]
On [[Earth]], Skids and Mudflap bomb down the [[North Carolina]] countryside and Skids asks Mudflap if he thinks the Decepticons bought their traitor act. (Mudflap only now learns it ''was'' an act) Skids' plan is simple: the Decepticons will send someone to keep an eye on their first mission, so all they have to do is capture whoever their shadow is and present him to the [[Autobot]]s. That should prove they were framed! While Mudflap doubts this, they zero in on their target, hiding in a barn. And that target... reveals himself to be [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]]! And he's pissed off to see them!


* '''Continuity:''' [[Revenge of the Fallen]] (Prequel)
[[NEST]] Regional Command in [[Wyoming]] picks up the battle, and it is quickly confirmed that the "two rogues" are present. [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] demands immediate transport for him and [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]].


On Phobos (a moon on Mars) [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] are posing in front of their new friends. [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] gives the decepticons their Mission briefing and tells the twins he needs their full attention. The former autobots explain they are not "Yer average creativity stifled Grunt." which make [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] growl. Soundwave tells them to just go and warns them not to fail him. The twins leave for [[Earth]]. [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] express their distrust in the two but Soundwave explains to them that Skids and Mudflap are meerly bait for the one they are truly after, the one who has survived countless years on Earth. He tells the decepticons that they will be waiting for him and gives them orders to make sure Skids and Mudflap do '''not''' survive.
Back at the farm, Ransack is livid to find out the twins don't remember his name. However, Skids cuts the fight short by revealing they'd switched sides, something Ransack knows [[Jetfire (ROTF)|has precedent]]. When the Seeker retorts that he won't give his information to Soundwave's lot and talks only to [[the Fallen]], the twins quickly lie that the Fallen personally sent them and is currently incapacitated. Ransack, having waited so long to come in from the cold, falls for the ruse and heads off with them.


On Earth Skids and Mudflap are driving in the countryside near a tractor and Skids asks Mudflap if he thinks the decepticons bought it. Mudflap seems oblivious to the fact that it was an act they suddenly realise that if they don't trust them they'll have sent someone to keep tabs on them. They decide that the plan is to bag a bad guy and present him to the autobots gift-wrapped. The two head to a barn where they wait for the guy they supposed to Tag 'n' bag when suddenly a plane crashes through the side of the barn and attempts to gun the autobots down.
Grindor and Sideways, watching the three, can barely believe that the twins have succeeded by talking instead of shooting. That sets an example they won't stand for! They start their attack run, Grindor blasting Ransack out of the sky while Sideways aims for the twins. Skids takes on the flier, and sends Mudflap after Sideways, both of them hoping to gain "a ''scalp''" for the Autobots. Mudflap swiftly defeats the 'con car, playing chicken and forcing Sideways to swerve into a tree. While Grindor is able to return fire, Skids can dodge his attacks and aims for the rotors!


At [[NEST]] regional command in Wyoming they have confirmation of where the autobot's two rogues are and give the coordinates to [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]].
Up above, a NEST carrier plane watches the whole thing. While they're unable to land, Ironhide is determined to keep an eye on this situation, while Sideswipe notes with confusion that the twins are fighting the very 'cons they 'aided and abetted'.  


Back in at the farm the twins try to remember who the bot they're shooting at was. [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]] reminds them and tries to blow them up but Skids informs him that they aren't there to fight since they are decepticons now. Ransack suddenly believes them but refuses to give anyone info unless it's [[The Fallen]]. They inform them they're from The Fallen and Ransack tells them to lead on.
Grindor finally decides enough is enough, and carries on with his primary mission: snatching the wounded Ransack and fleeing. The twins have successfully downed Sideways, but Skids (spotting NEST's plane) wants more. He's tired of being on the receiving end... he's going to right back to Soundwave and bring this conspiracy crashing down!


Meanwhile Grindor and Sideways are chasing the three and can barely believe that those two clowns would try talking instead of shooting and example they both express hatred for. Grindor shoots down Ransack and attacks the twins then Sideways comes round and also starts to attack. Skids tells Mudflap he'll handle the fly-boy but reminds him they still need something tangible to show the autobots to get them to believe they're still on their side Mudflap forces Sideways to crash into a tree instead of fight while Skids tries to fight of Grindor. In the sky Sideswipe seem confused that Skids and Mudflap are fighting with the two decepticons they are meant to be aiding. Ironhide asks for the NEST soldiors to let them down but they aren't allowed to because their current airfield won't accomidate them. Grindor snatches his ''priority'' and leaves but luckily the two have their scalp but Skids says it isn't enough, he's tired of being the fall guy and says they'll take this whole convoluted conspiracy right back to Soundwave's door and bring his whole house down.

Turnabout

On Phobos (a moon on Mars) Skids and Mudflap are posing in front of their new Decepticon friends. A very unimpressed Soundwave tells the twins he needs their full attention during the mission briefing. The former Autobots explain they are a risk-taking, free spirited mavericks, not stifled boring grunts (er, no offence mean, guys, stop growling at us Ravage!), and retrieving "some throwback" for "re-educating" is hardly a biggie. Soundwave tells them to just go and warns them not to fail him.

The twins leave for Earth. Grindor and Sideways express their distrust and annoyance with the two, but Soundwave explains to them that Skids and Mudflap are merely bait for their target, a dangerous soldier who has survived countless years on Earth. Grindor and Sideways will be waiting to take over once the target is drawn out... and if the twins survive, to rectify that...

On Earth, Skids and Mudflap bomb down the North Carolina countryside and Skids asks Mudflap if he thinks the Decepticons bought their traitor act. (Mudflap only now learns it was an act) Skids' plan is simple: the Decepticons will send someone to keep an eye on their first mission, so all they have to do is capture whoever their shadow is and present him to the Autobots. That should prove they were framed! While Mudflap doubts this, they zero in on their target, hiding in a barn. And that target... reveals himself to be Ransack! And he's pissed off to see them!

NEST Regional Command in Wyoming picks up the battle, and it is quickly confirmed that the "two rogues" are present. Ironhide demands immediate transport for him and Sideswipe.

Back at the farm, Ransack is livid to find out the twins don't remember his name. However, Skids cuts the fight short by revealing they'd switched sides, something Ransack knows has precedent. When the Seeker retorts that he won't give his information to Soundwave's lot and talks only to the Fallen, the twins quickly lie that the Fallen personally sent them and is currently incapacitated. Ransack, having waited so long to come in from the cold, falls for the ruse and heads off with them.

Grindor and Sideways, watching the three, can barely believe that the twins have succeeded by talking instead of shooting. That sets an example they won't stand for! They start their attack run, Grindor blasting Ransack out of the sky while Sideways aims for the twins. Skids takes on the flier, and sends Mudflap after Sideways, both of them hoping to gain "a scalp" for the Autobots. Mudflap swiftly defeats the 'con car, playing chicken and forcing Sideways to swerve into a tree. While Grindor is able to return fire, Skids can dodge his attacks and aims for the rotors!

Up above, a NEST carrier plane watches the whole thing. While they're unable to land, Ironhide is determined to keep an eye on this situation, while Sideswipe notes with confusion that the twins are fighting the very 'cons they 'aided and abetted'.

Grindor finally decides enough is enough, and carries on with his primary mission: snatching the wounded Ransack and fleeing. The twins have successfully downed Sideways, but Skids (spotting NEST's plane) wants more. He's tired of being on the receiving end... he's going to right back to Soundwave and bring this conspiracy crashing down!

Law and Disorder

"So 'Cade, it seems a large number of Human's celebrate an event called "Christmas" at this time of year. They gather together, exchange presents and no one shoots anyone."
"The only thing we'll be exchanging is insults, you moronic Autobot! As for "not shooting" - "ceasefire" isn't in my vocabulary!
"That's a shame. I have a present here for you. It's not from me, I wouldn't douse you in coolant is you were on fire; it's from Ratchet. He said it was the diplomatic thisng to do, whatever that means."
"What is it? What did Ratchet send me? Give me the Christmas present!"
"OK. It's this fist-shaped oblect in th cardboard box on the end of my arm. Can you see it? No? You need to take a closer look..."

-Ironhide and Barricade start off their usual way.


"Ah, I remember being four. Assembling my first high yield plasma accelerator, and being told off for hanging around near the primary heat exchangers in downtown Tyger Pax."

-Ironhide


"Will it ever end? Why do I have to endure more pictures of this yellow cretin?"

- Barricade


"Urgh, it's one of those pedantic historical types. To be honest, Rich, you'd be better off discussing this with Ratchet, or Prime, or someone who cares."

-IDW on Continuum Ironhide on continuity quibbles


"We'd love to see more of this sort of thing - people in costumes ..."
"And if any of you dress up as Autobots I'll be forced to pay you a visit! Anyone caught being sympathetic to the enemy cause will be shipped to Cybertron for hard labour - scrubbing the iron barnacles from between the folds of the Fallen's armour with a wire brush. Enjoy."
"I've met toasters more intimidating than you, Barricade. Seriously, dress up as whoever you want, kids, just send pictures!"
