    Your spark shouldn't be quivering as much as it is as you chase this Decepticon, but you can't help the churning in your tanks that keeps telling you that chasing this one Decepticon is a terrible idea.

    Normally, bigger bots are a lot slower, and this is the biggest bot you've ever seen. He's still moving faster than you expected due to his train alt form being on tracks, probably delivering materials to the Decepticon base.

    He speeds into a tunnel, with you in close pursuit, but then he turns his lights off and speeds up, leaving you to go as fast as you can to try and catch up. When you get out of this tunnel and into the light, everything should be fine again.

    But the mech flashes his lights on and off, and the tunnel seems to go on forever. Every time you think you see the sunlight again, the lights turn off and you realise its just the Decepticon playing cruel tricks on you.

    Eventually though, you see the light at the end of the tunnel and just before you reach fresh air, a massive pede almost crushes you, and you hear baritone laughter as the pede rises back up, allowing you to exit the tunnel.

    "What's a little Autobot like you doing, chasing the mighty Astrotrain?"

    You freeze. Astrotrain is a triple changer, and you've never once heard of a sane triple changer.

    Astrotrain leans against the tunnel and crosses his ankles, looking down at the entrance of the tunnel.

    "Well? Are you coming out or not? Do I have to crush this tunnel to see your faceplate?"
