When Optimus Prime's older brother, an intellectual from Cybertron landed on Earth, team Prime's members were eager to meet the Bot related to their leader!
…Only to find out that he was an awful bore. Not only was he awfully boring but he even spoke in a monotone tone! It was torture listening to him talk about the new Cybertronian set of laws and politics.
"No wonder you survived the war, hiding in Cybertron behind all the walls around you…" Bumblebee muttered and his words managed to catch Optimus' brother's attention.
"Oh, I wasn't on Cybertron when war was on."
"Then, uh, where were you?" Bulkhead asked.
"It's better I show you." Optimus' brother stood up and motioned the Autobots to follow him to his spaceship. Once inside the pristine clean ship, the brother lead the team Prime to this locked room where the door demanded the brother's optic scan and voice sample.
Once they were given, the doors slid open and the team walked into the huge room that's walls and shelves were filled with guns and weapons of all sorts, all extremely dangerous and deadly.
"Oh, wow…!" Bulkhead gasped when he saw everything.
"There are enough weapons here to arm your own personal army!" Ratchet shouted.
"Do not fear Doctor, all these weapons were acquired during the war and were meant to be used when needed." The brother said, "I just needed them a lot."
"Wow, these are amazing!" Bumblebee awed out loud as he and other members of team Prime took in their fearless leader's older brother's weapons collection.
"Hey Prowl, I doubt Lockdown has this many weapons or upgrades?" The yellow minibot laughed and his words caught Optimus' brother's attention, "Lockdown, huh?"
"You know him?" Prowl asked.
"They call him one of the best bounty hunters there is, right?" The brother asked, "I even heard that he managed to catch my carefree little brother."
"How did you…?" Optimus was about to ask how his older brother knew, but someone beat him to it.
"Wait! Optimus? Carefree?" Bumblebee asked as he looked at the team Prime's leader and then his older brother, "You mean our Bossbot?"
"That is irrelevant." The older Bot shook his helm, "I am familiar with the bounty hunter's reputation. In fact, I'm quite interested in him."
"Why?" Ratchet asked. He had a bad feeling about this…
"WHAT!?" Everyone in the room shouted. Optimus' brother scowled, "Don't get me wrong. I have no desire to use his services. I prefer the good old 'If you want something done, you do it yourself' method."
"Then why do you want to hire him?"
"I merely want to expand my vast collection of firearms and he has something I want. I presume that the best way to get his attention is to hire him myself."
"Brother, that isn't a good idea." Optimus tried to warn his brother, but the older bot wasn't impressed by his little brother. "Don't underestimate me Optimus. You know very well what I'm capable of. Those fires didn't start themselves."
Optimus sighed as he knew there was nothing he could do to change his brother's mind when he had set it on something.
Suddenly he felt someone poke his side and he looked to see Bumblebee himself looking at the Prime uncertainly. "Hey, uh, Bossbot? How long is your brother going to stay here for?"
"Oh, uh, he doesn't sound as cool as I thought he was."
"You're scared of him, aren't you?"
"Well… Knowing my brother, nothing stops him from getting what he wants when he has set his mind on something." Optimus said as he glanced at his older brother who was admiring his collection on the other side of the room.
Then he grinned, "But he was never fond of Ultra Magnus or another way around."
"Great, so we just need to get Magnus here!" Bee smiled and Optimus nodded, "I'll call him once we get back to base."
"Why wait until then?" Bee grinned, "I keep him busy so you can go and make that call!"
Both Bots nodded and Optimus left to make the call to get rid of his brother while Bumblebee kept the said Bot busy.
