I own nothing of Transformers. The human characters are mine, and Brainwave's the only made up TF (unless I didn't know there was already a Brainwave O_O)

Chapter I

Everything was black. He could hear movement from outside, but was too afraid to look. In the thirty minutes he was conscious, he was ordered to see.

"Brainwave, online," said a voice. The newly created robot forced his optics open, despite his fears. He saw before him the face of his Creator, the Cybertronian scientist who called himself Perceptor. He was at least four times the size of…well, whoever the Mini-con was.

"Who are you?" the Mini-con managed to say. Perceptor smiled.

"My name is Perceptor, and I'm the one who brought you in this world, so to speak," he replied. The Mini-con looked at himself. His hands, feet, and chest were attached to wires. He grabbed one to try and yank it out of his system, but Perceptor stopped him.

"I wouldn't. These wires are the only thing keeping you online for now." The Mini-con let go of the cord without removing his gaze from Perceptor.

He said slowly, "Who…am…I?"

"Your name is Brainwave, my Mini-con partner. Welcome to Cybertron."

After a few hours of questioning and answering, Brainwave was finally relieved of the cords that were surging power through his body. With each cord that was pulled out, it left a hole behind it. The holes, individually, on his hands, his chest, and his feet were in the shape of a triangle.

"Come on, Brainwave. Let's meet the rest," Perceptor whispered. He walked into a large room with Brainwave following closer than necessary. The room was filled with other Mini-cons. They greeted Brainwave warmly and nearly every one of them asked him to transform. Each time they asked that, Brainwave understood less and less of what they had meant.

Perceptor then explained to all of them that Brainwave did not have a vehicle mode. That was the only flaw in his system. But Brainwave didn't seem to mind. He liked being different from the rest.

Later, Brainwave had met nearly every single Mini-con in that room. They all gave their names, vehicle mode, even their Cybertronian partner's name. Brainwave came to the conclusion that these Mini-cons were used mostly for assistance and tools. Was that all he was to Perceptor? When he dared to ask his partner the question, Perceptor burst out laughing.

"We never think of Mini-cons as tools! When a Mini-con and Cybertronian are matched, they are supposed to become friends. Unlike what the Decepticons have done," Perceptor explained. The word "Decepticon" hit Brainwave hard, like he was shot at one of his triangular power points in his chest. Perceptor saw this reaction and started to explain the Great War between the Autobots and the Decepticons, both sides fighting over the same object they called the All Spark. Apparently, whoever controlled the All Spark controlled Cybertron as well. And possibly the universe!

"Are they gone now?" Brainwave had hoped to never in his life cycle meet a Decepticon.

"We're not sure. Some might have escaped. But I assure you, if any Decepticons comes within fifty miles of Iacon City, we'll be ready for them," Perceptor said with a gleam in his eyes.
