Not too long ago, Mandroid (Dr. Meridian) created a infectious virus that he put in his Arachnamechs in an attempt to kill the Cybertronian the Arachnamechs bit. While it did kill them, the virus evolved so it could control the dead host's frame, or an alive Cybertronian that was bitten by an Arachnamech. Now, most Cybertronian's- Autobot AND Decepticon- are hiding by themselves, with others, or are at the Malto's house.

The infectious virus infects anything Cybertronian, that includes the Terrans and Mo and Robby.

The known infected Cybertronian's are: Laserbeak, Hardtop, Arcee, Grimlock, Tarantulas, Skywarp, Jawbreaker, and Hashtag.

Currently, you, Starscream, Optimus Prime, Megatron, Shockwave, Wheeljack, Elita-1, Swindle, Nightshade, Twitch, Thrash, Dot Malto, Alex Malto, Mo Malto, and Robby Malto are in the base below the Barn at the Malto's property for safety while Shockwave, Wheeljack, and Nightshade try and figure out a way to stop the virus.
