| Thunder echoed throughout
the Darkside on a dark and stormy night. An energon storm was passing over,
and all the Predacons had returned to base for protection. While many of
them remained in their quarters, a few others had plans.
In Scorponok’s laboratory, Megatron, Blackarachnia, and Scorponok were busy at work. Scorponok, at a huge device, tinkered with the controls as Blackarachnia held a DNA tube labeled ‘Dinobot’. Megatron stared over at the progress they had made. "Scorponok," Megatron spoke, "Is the cloning machine ready?" Scorponok turned towards Megatron."It’s almost ready. The modifications I have made to it should allow the clone to transform, unlike our last Dinobot clone," Scorponok reported. "Do not remind me of that failure!" Megatron barked.Scorponok only nodded and returned to his work. After pressing a few buttons, he stood upright. "Blackarachnia hand me the DNA," Scorponok ordered.Blackarachnia handed it to him without saying a thing. She was in a most bitter mood with Megatron. He had been constantly yelling at her for her repeated failure. "Megatron, it is ready!" Scorponok announced as he finished pouring the DNA into a slot. "Perfect, yes, come, let us start the machine," Megatron ordered.He and Scorponok turned and walked over to a control panel on the other side of the lab. Blackarachnia stared at the two, who were paying no attention to her. B.A. stared at Megatron. There had to be a way to get her revenge. Then it hit her. Blackarachnia checked to make sure nobody was looking, and then slipped in another DNA tube that was on a nearby bench. Blackarachnia knew it was her own DNA sample, but that didn’t stop her from pouring it into the slot with Dinobot’s. The once blue DNA shifted into a purple color as the two samples mixed. Blackarachnia hid the empty tube as Scorponok and Megatron turned around to face her. "Stand clear," Megatron demanded.Blackarachnia slyly stepped a few feet back as Scorponok started up the machine. A few clanking gears later, a bright light was thrown out. Megatron, Scorponok, and Blackarachnia covered there eyes as the machine exploded, leaving a gorgeous female Beast Warrior in robot mode, almost like Dinobot. "What the...?" Scorponok began."That’s no Dinobot! That’s a female! I HATE females!" Megatron declared. "Something must have gone wrong with the DNA transfer," Scorponok spoke as he approached the femme to study her. "Whoa! Whoa!" she called, "Back off!" Scorponok jumped back as she spoke. Megatron stepped forward."It isn’t a clone. It’s not even the right gender! Get rid of it!" Megatron ordered. "What?!" the female spoke, stepping back a few feet with shock.Scorponok readied a mega missile at her as Blackarachnia positioned her crossbow. "I don’t think I like it here!" the femme exclaimed, "You guys are too weird for me!" With that, the femme drew out a sword and cut a hole in the side of the room. Before anyone could make a move, the female jumped through the hole and outside into the stormy night. She converted to a velociraptor, similar to Dinobot, and ran off. Megatron grew angry as he watched her disappear."Leave her be. She doesn’t know the land, or what she’s doing. Besides, the energon storm will most likely claim her spark," Megatron reasoned. The three Predacons laughed aloud as the sound of thunder echoed through the Darkside.
Dinobot and Cheetor, both in beast mode, prowled through a jungle of trees. They were sent to scout for any Predacon surprise attacks that they could throw during the storm. Usually, Optimus Primal wouldn’t let anyone outside in this harsh weather, but Rhinox had just invented a new electron device, capable or directing any energon rain or lightning from it’s location. While Dinobot looked around alert as ever, Cheetor sat himself down on the ground. "Tired Pussy Cat?" asked Dinobot.keep me awake," Suddenly, Dinobot’s hand held scanner picked up a large life form heading their way. "Looks like you will receive your excitement, Dinobot Maximize!"Dinobot cried out. As the two converted to robot mode, a figure appeared over the horizon of bushes and jungle. Cheetor grabbed his quasar gun and ducked behind a bush as Dinobot held his sword in a battle stance. "See anything?" Cheetor asked, unable to see anything through the thick bush. velociraptor more clearly now, "It appears to be a velociraptor in my"You won’t believe it," Dinobot murmured, as he saw the brown stunning image," "A clone? Like the one Megatron sent out that once?" Cheetor asked. "Negative," Dinobot whispered, "There’s something different aboutTHIS clone," With that, Dinobot converted to beast mode and went into a pouncing position. Within seconds, the other velociraptor came within ten feet of the two Maximals’ position and stopped to take a rest. Dinobot saw his moment and leapt forward, pouncing on the creature. "Hey! Get off me!" the newcomer cried as it was pushed down on the ground. Dinobot jumped off the creature in fright."A...FEMALE?! A female clone of myself?!" Dinobot spoke bewildered, as Cheetor rose from the bushes. "A clone of you?!" the female dinosaur asked, getting up from theground, "I don’t think so," Dinobot and Cheetor examined the femme. Her beast mode was exactly like Dinobot’s. "Wonder if her robot mode is genuine?" Cheetor whispered to Dinobot. "Miss," Dinobot began, "What is your name?" "My name?" she asked.She stood there blankly for a few moments. She never thought about a name. But surely she had to have one. Then, she remembered what that gigantic purple robot had called her. A Dinobot clone. Dinobot? No, Dinabot. "My name is Dinabot," Dinabot spoke, a little more happier then her attitude before. "Can you transform, eh, Dinabot?" asked Dinobot.Dinabot converted to her robot mode. Dinobot and Cheetor examined Dinabot’s robot mode. Very close to Dinobot’s, except for a few curves. Dinobot maximized to see the comparison more clearly. It was indeed uncanny. While Dinobot examined Dinabot’s appearance, Dinabot marveled at Dinobot. "Well now," Dinabot smiled, "Aren’t you a hunk?" "WHAT?!" Cheetor exclaimed.Dinabot spoke, tickling Dinobot under his chin. Dinobot pushed Dinabot back. Dinabot stumbled a tad with surprise. "Hey, what did you do that for?! I thought you were on my side?" asked Dinabot. strictly, "I already have a girlfriend, and second, you never said what"First, let’s make one thing clear," Dinobot pointed at her side you are on," "What do you mean side?" Dinabot asked more angrily.either of them," Dinobot sighed as Cheetor eyed Dinabot."You can’t be neutral in a war! You’ll be shot down by the enemy unless your with them!" Dinobot declared. "You mean those evil freaks back at that base? Yeah right, I’m not one of them!" Dinabot argued. Cheetor maximized and stepped in between the two bickering robots.
"Whoa! Whoa! Easy now! Let’s not start killing each other. None of us are Predacons here!" Cheetor exclaimed. Dinobot lowered his head.back to our base. Even if you choose not to stay with us, you surely will"You are right, Cheetor," Dinobot spoke, "Dinabot, I invite you need some energon and some tests to see if anything’s wrong with you," Dinabot tilted her head."All right, I’ll go. But only because I’m not sure what to make of all this stuff," Dinabot spoke, "Lead the way hot stuff!" Dinobot sighed when he heard
his ‘pet name’ and converted to beast mode. Dinabot and Cheetor did the
