Bumblebee at Tyger Pax
| This is Apocrypha
The content of this page is considered to be apocrypha or pseudocanon. Fiction that is considered pseudocanon generally falls into one of two categories. It is most likely either unofficial fiction from an official creator that is so informative as to the creator's thought process and/or so influential to the fandom as to be worth documenting, or fiction that is published in such a way as to render it unofficial, such as fan works published as ancillary or bonus images/fiction with other official work. As such, new ideas and concepts introduced here may not hold true for work that is completely canonical. |

Synopsis
Optimus Prime visits the archivist Alpha Trion, who is recording Cybertronian history in the Covenant of Primus with his Quill. Alpha Trion expresses his doubts that the Autobots can keep the AllSpark from the Decepticons. The two decide that the AllSpark should be launched into space using a failsafe device to keep it out of Megatron's hands.
Optimus Prime breaks the news to his trusted lieutenants. Bumblebee objects, but Ironhide tells him to listen. Optimus Prime assembles a team who will make their way to the Well of AllSparks where the failsafe controls are. On their way there, the Autobots are intercepted at the Tyger Pax bypass. Optimus Prime quickly came up with a plan to deal with them. Jetfire would create a diversion while Ultra Magus and the Wreckers provided cover for the Well of AllSparks. Bumblebee and Cliffjumper were ordered to harry the Decepticons in order to slow them down.
Bumblebee and Cliffjumper encountered Barricade and attacked. They quickly incapacitated him. Jetfire lured three Seekers into the Wreckers' crossfire, but the Wreckers were under attack by Megatron. Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ironhide, and Arcee made it to the Well. Arcee entered the launch codes since Primes were not allowed to as a failsafe. Fighting continued until the AllSpark blasted into space. Bumblebee laughed and taunted Megatron. In response, Megatron crushed Bumblebee's vocoder to shut him up, but let him live.
