Fiction

EarthSpark cartoon

With the advent of three new Terrans joining the Malto family, the previous simple barn that housed Twitch and Thrash proved to small to accommodate the new, much larger, Terrans. Nightshade, finding this inadequate as space for learning and living, set about secretly secretly working on building a new housing location rather than trying to find an alt-mode. They inadvertently recruited their big brother, Thrash, in aiding them even though Thrash had no idea what Nightshade was actually working on. When Twitch, Hashtag, and Bumblebee returned from a mishap with G.H.O.S.T., Nightshade finally introduced their family to the new base they had been working on all day. All suitably impressed, Hashtag used her new found abilities granted by her alt-mode to setup the base's Wi-fi. Hashtag: Oops

When Agent Schloder arrived at the Malto homestead on the hunt for Bumblebee, the Terrans found their base go into emergency lockdown. Developed by Nightshade and Hashtag, they explained to their siblings that they had setup it up to where it would automatically initiate should any G.H.O.S.T. vehicle (Hashtag excluded) approach their home. Virtually impenetrable, they evidentially hadn't worked out all the kinks as instead of deactivating after 10 minutes when the threat level subsides it remained sealed for 10 hours instead. This left them imprisoned for most of the day and unable to aide Bumblebee in his attempts to flee G.H.O.S.T. Security Protocols
