When The Decepticons Invented Protogens

Aerocip felt a mild ache throughout her body as her motor systems booted back up, her optics had yet to be rebooted, but the dim aroma of metal layered beneath strong, acidic scent of energon made her believe she was back at home base. Feeling back in her arms, she tried to walk, only to find there was something pinning her against on a hard, metallic surface. Her ears back online, she heard a faint tapping. Finally, her optics were operational again; revealing clamps on her limbs pinning her to a vertical operating table. She lifted her head and looked around, Pyroat and Dyne were pinned on either side of her, and Shockwave sat in front of them on an operating table across from them, nervously tapping his digits against his upper leg. He lifted his head and began to speak, "Now that your systems are operational again, I will give you the summary of your course..." The Protocons waited in anticipation. "While you deliberately destroyed the energon you were supposed to secure, you did so to harm our most hated enemy. While you did not conventionally pass the course, your act of loyalty to our cause proves you true Decepticons, well done, Protocons." Shockwave stood up and pressed a button on the wall; retracting the clamps on the Protocons' limbs and releasing them. They dropped from their operating tables, landing on their lower paw pads. Aerocip turned to her right to see that Dyne was managing to stand even taller and more proud than he ever has been been, she turned to her left to see the laid back expression of satisfaction on Pyroat's face, though her tail was wagging almost as fast as Aerocip's was. She beamed back at her creator, "It's an honor, General Shockwave!" she stated with pride.Pyroat could hardly contain her excitement, her name would soon strike fear into the sparks of those wretched Autobots! Though Shockwave had not stopped speaking yet, "However, now that you are fully fledged Decepticons, it is a requirement that you go through training. Namely, combat training" The other Protocons looked nervous, but that was exactly what Pyroat wanted to hear. Combat training? She could feel the steam trailing out of her heating vents, pure anticipation coursing through her circuits as she thought about it. Shockwave discussed the training further, "report to the barracks at sunrise, I will not be there to assist you, for I have other business to attend to." Shockwave turned to walk out of the med bay, then he paused and spoke again before heading out, "It should please you to hear that I programmed more... utility into you while you were deactivated." The steel door slammed shut behind him, causing a clanging sound to resonate throughout the med bay.
