Going through my old comics again. This series was written from 2012 to maybe early 2013.

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE, PART ONE
(We open with a montage of the Great War.)
NARRATOR: It has been decades since the Great War began. We have trying desperately to protect Earth from the Decepticon forces. It all started when Megatron, leader of the Decepticons, began scouring the galaxy for Energon to reenergize our dying world, Cybertron. He found Earth, which was rich in Energon, and began to drain its resources. Several teams of Autobots were then sent to stop the Decepticons. Thus, the Great War began. Ten years have passed since then. And there is still no end in sight...
(On Earth, Skywarp and Thundercracker patrol the skies in search of the Autobots, who are hiding in ruined buildings.)
THUNDERCRACKER: I'm not seeing any Autobots. What about you, Skywarp?
SKYWARP: Nothing here, Thundercracker. Looks like this area's clear.
WHEELJACK: That's right, little 'Cons, fly away!
BUMBLEBEE: Hey, Wheeljack! Did you find what you were looking for?
WHEELJACK: Yep. Let's head back to base.
(They transform and roll out.)
BUMBLEBEE: Good, because my olfactory sensors can't stand this place!
SKYWARP or THUNDERCRACKER: Your sensors aren't the only ones working!
BUMBLEBEE: Decepticons!
(The two Seekers attack them.)
WHEELJACK: Crud, I knew I should've brought those turbo boosts!
SKYWARP: Heh-heh-heh! (He teleports)
WHEELJACK: What was that all about--?
(Skywarp shows up in front of him.)
SFX: Scree!
SKYWARP: Hello, Autobot! Care to play?
SFX: Tink (Bumblebee shoots him)
SKYWARP: Oh, this is gold... (He transforms to jet mode) You can't take down Skywarp that easily, Autobrat!
(He fires at 'Bee only for Ironhide to show up and knock him out)
SKYWARP: Oh, snap...
IRONHIDE: Pick on someone yer own size.
WHEELJACK: Ouch. Um... thanks.
IRONHIDE: Don't mention it.
WHEELJACK: That was pretty--
IRONHIDE: I said "don't mention it."
(Back at Autobot Base)
WHEELJACK: We're back, Optimus!
OPTIMUS PRIME: Good to see you, Wheeljack. Did you find your... tool thing?
WHEELJACK: It's a tachyon transmitter. I stole it from an abandoned 'Con base. With this we can communicate with Cybertron easier.
PROWL: You sure that'll work? The 'Cons might pick up the signal.
WHEELJACK: Nonsense! I invented this thing! I know more about it than they do!
(Beat)
PROWL: Do you believe him?
OPTIMUS PRIME: No.
(Meanwhile, on the Decepticon ship...)
STARSCREAM: Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Five years... Five years it's been since our glorious leader vanished during the Battle of Helex... Since then, our leadership has been divided, with multiple commanders across the galaxy... But soon... that just might change. If Lord Megatron is not found within a month, then I shall have to take his place. The first one to find our leader will--
BARRICADE: Commander?
STARSCREAM: What is it, Barricade?
BARRICADE: I don't mean to interrupt, but we have received reports of a stolen tachyon transmitter.
STARSCREAM: What?! When was this reported?!
BARRICADE: Half and hour ago.
STARSCREAM: Why didn't you tell me?!
BARRICADE: You were too busy monologuing...
VEHICON: *Snicker*
STARSCREAM: SHUT UP!
VEHICON: I just made a little click noise!
STARSCREAM: Barricade, take a troop of Vehicons to Earth! We must get that transmitter! Before the Autobots can use it!
(Back at the Autobot Base)
OPTIMUS PRIME: How's it going, Wheeljack?
WHEELJACK: Great! ...As soon as I figure how this thing's supposed to work!
PROWL: So, in other words, 'not so great?'
WHEELJACK: Pretty much. Gee, sure wish we'd brought Blaster along...
PROWL: Actually, I'm glad we didn't...
OPTIMUS PRIME: Just keep working on it, Wheeljack. We'll get contact with Cybertron sooner or later...
(Meanwhile, on Cybertron, in Iacon...)
ULTRA MAGNUS: Jazz, this is Ultra Magnus. What's your status out there?
(In Polyhex...)
JAZZ: We're getting pinned here, boss! Not sure how much more we can take! Oh no...
ULTRA MAGNUS: What?
JAZZ: It's Straxus!
(Straxus shows up and maims an Autobot soldier)
AUTOBOT: P-please... have mercy!
STRAXUS: Fool... mercy is not dispensed here... only DEATH!
AUTOBOT: NOOOAGGH!
ULTRA MAGNUS: Jazz, get out of there now!
JAZZ: Yes, sir! (He transforms and drives away)
STRAXUS: To die... to sleep... to sleep, perchance to dream! Aye, there's the rub. [Yeah, Straxus is a Shakespeare enthusiast, get used to it] And to die, perchance to end thy suffering... now that seems better...
(He fires and knocks Jazz off course)
JAZZ: Whoa! Oogh...
STRAXUS: Thou wretched rash, intruding fool... FAREWELL!
ULTRA MAGNUS: Hey, Straxus... (He shows up with reinforcements) Pick on someone your own size!
