Summary: Wheeljack. Tim Taylor. … Run for the hills!


Two beings sit in a dark room, glaring at each other in the silence.

Finally, one of them speaks.

“What are we doing here, Megatron?”

“We’ve got a…. mutual problem, Prime.”

Optimus shoots the Decepticon Commander a skeptical look. “I doubt that, brother.”

“You know that show you let Wheeljack visit? What is the name again....Tool Time?”

“Yes....”

The former Lord Protector of Cybertron carefully rubs at the corner of one optic. “Laserbeak filmed the master copy. You really, really need to see it, Optimus.”

For a moment, silence settles between the two rulers. Finally, the Prime nods his consent.

“Very well.”

A soft whirring noise fills the room as a wall slides away to reveal a Cybertronian sized monitor. The monitor flickers into life, showing a young woman wearing a tool belt standing in the center of the screen.


"Does everyone know what time it is?"

"Tool Time!"

"That's right! It's Tool Time with your host Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor."

"Thank you, Heidi. I'm Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor. This is our speacial guest, Autobot inventor Wheeljack. And you all know my assistant, Al Borlyn." *aside* "Al, come out from that bunker and say hi."

*crackle of an intercom* "I don't think so, Tim."

*strained smile* "Right. ... Anyway, on today's show, we're going to take my souped up riding mower and give it MORE POWER. How are we going to do that, 'Jack?"

"We'll be installing a custom built Autobot engine into the mower. It should give it at least a 60% power boost."

*that grunting laugh sound* "Sound perfect. Custom built?"

"Made it myself."

"All right. Let's get started."

Megatron paused the tape. “The next part is too horrific to watch with the sound on, Prime, even for me,” he commented, restarting the now silent recording.

“I highly doubt…” Optimus’ voice trailed off as he stared at the screen in horror. “Primus!” he breathed. “Was that…?”

“I think so.”

Wide blue optics met Megatron’s red ones. “How much of the show is like this?”

“Most of it,” the former Lord High Protector admitted. “Do you want to watch more, or have you seen enough, Optimus?”

Optimus shuddered. “No, go ahead and skip it.”

Megatron nodded and jumped the recording until the host – Tim Taylor – could be seen speaking again.


"That's all for Tool Time. I'm Tim Taylor."

"I'm the uninjured Al Borlyn."

"I'm Wheeljack."

"Tool Time will be back next week... if the studio gets rebuilt in time. Until then."

Glancing at his brother, Megatron asked, “Are we agreed?”

“Yes, we are.” Prime paused for a moment then continued, “Under Cybertronian law, Wheeljack may never, under any circumstances, work with Tim Taylor again.”

End.
