Overview
Tales of the Fallen — Bumblebee: Sometime in between the events of Alliance #4 and ROTF Movie Adaptation #1, Bumblebee arrives back at Sam Witwicky's house to resume his role as the boy's protector. After settling into a routine with his human friend (a lull broken only by Bumblebee overturning Trent's car and aggressively retaliating against a would-be car thief), Bumblebee then had to save Sam from certain death when he was kidnapped by Barricade.
Tales of the Fallen — Sideswipe: Following the destruction of an Autobot colony by Demolishor which Sideswipe was charged with protecting, the Autobot vowed to destroy Demolishor no matter the cost. Unfortunately, Sideswipe gave no thought to the welfare of the humans of Earth in this vendetta, so much that Optimus Prime believed him a threat. Ironhide is given a chance to talk his old student down, but all he can do is play damage control to Sideswipe's destructive pursuit. Sideswipe is finally convinced to stand down when he sees the fear he has caused the humans.
Tales of the Fallen — Jetfire: Around 17,000 B.C., when the Seeker Jetfire returns to greet his commanding Prime - the one who became The Fallen - after a successful solar harvest. The Fallen reveals he has been allowing Jetfire to farm energon from suns feeding populated worlds, claiming the Dynasty of Primes' belief in protecting life would become the downfall of their civilization. Upon arriving to Earth with The Fallen and some Constructicons, Jetfire realizes he is on the wrong side when the other Primes arrive and defeats the Constructicons, but runs out of energon and goes into stasis lock. He briefly awakens centuries later to assume a native aircraft.
