Hot Rod came out of the medical bay as he had a couple of plasters on him. He watched as Springer came out with little to no wounds on him as both of them looked at each other with different expressions on their face as Hot Rod looked happy while Springer had a slightly more serious look on their face. Hot Rod put his hands on his hips before saying "That was a fun mission." As Springer looked over wondering where Ultra Magnus was. He looked confused before asking Hot rod "Have you seen Ultra Magnus as of late?" As Hot Rod shook his head and said "Nah, haven't seen 'Mr Grumpy Bot' has of late."
Springer's optics looked with confusion as he said "He's never this late. It's really unusual to not see him show up to the meetings." As Hot Rod shrugged and they separated as Wheeljack watched them pass by. Despite his usual explosions and invention issues, he was overall doing fine right now. How didn't he blow himself up was the question. Currently, Wheeljack was busy unscrewing the lightbulb which has dimmed significantly and as the punishment from Prowl, he was having to fix every single lightbulb.
Wheeljack removed the screws from the ceiling and removed the lightbulb as he put it aside and looked inside of his toolbox for his wrench and screwdriver as he got the tools to put the bolts on the ceiling. It was a wrench that had a golden, rusty hue and Wheeljack kept it around for a very long time. Some even called it his prized wrench because he was known for using it so frequently. Wheeljack got on the ladder and began to first use the screwdriver to screw the bolts and then used the wrench to tighten the bolts. He continued the process for each bolt until he was done with both the bolts and lightbulbs.
He soon got off the ladder as he wiped the plasma sweat on his face, as it took longer than he had expected. Soon Wheeljack went to put the ladder into the cleaning closet as he walked by some of the Autobots who was passing by as he put it there and closed the door before grabbing his toolbox and walking over to his lab inside. He went inside seeing his lab which was recently renovated a week or two ago.
There was electrical power boxes across the walls and each had wires and buttons inside . The walls still remained having their orange paint but looked more slicker and more newer. There was a couple of chairs scattered around the room and several chairs were stacked on top of each other. You could also see test tubes on chemical shelves and old books stacked on the general shelves while some of the chemicals in containers were placed on the counters. It was a fairly bright room, as the lightbulb was recently fixed by Wheeljack himself . Wheeljack placed the toolbox on one of the counters.
Wheeljack decided to check on the light bulb again to see if the lightbulb was sturdy. He walked outside again before arriving to the same area on where the lightbulb is, it seems to be working perfectly for now as it was glowing brightly. Wheeljack sighed in relief before he heard a noise before walking into the room there he got a rather surprising scene as his optics widened.
There was a unconscious Autobot in the middle of the room, it looked to be Sandstorm who was knocked out with papers all over him. Soon Wheeljack examined the room as it was in a complete mess, there was blast marks on the floors and papers were all across the room. Sandstorm was in the middle of the room as he had wounded marks and a few spills of energon was around his body as it stained the papers. Wheeljack attempted to wake up Sandstorm as he woke up after a few minutes. Sandstorm sat up confused before asking "Wait the battle ended..?" As Wheeljack helped him up.
"There was a battle? Can you explain Sandstorm?" Wheeljack asked as he looked at Sandstorm with a analytical look. Sandstorm looked a bit exhausted and his lively demeanor was wavering more than usual and his limbs had some deep wounds in them. A couple of wires were showing through his wounds but it was nothing too severe. Sandstorm was dazed before saying to Wheeljack "I think his name is Firestorm." Wheeljack knew who Firestorm is. He is a cyan seeker with dark grey parts and was known for his immodesty and nervy attitude. But despite that, he was pretty crafty and usually comes up with his ideas. People always had to be on a lookout for him as he was known to be dangerous.
Wheeljack helped up Sandstorm and went to go to the medbay with him. Despite Wheeljack being reckless and explosive, he still cared about his friends under that attitude as he went inside of the medbay as Ratchet turned around seeing them "You need something?" Ratchet asked in annoyance before Wheeljack nodded and gave Ratchet Sandstorm before he left the medbay. Ratchet sighed before deciding to repair his wounds.
