fusion 'verse. Prime's compound in Iacon. Meeting a need.
"Kup! Kup!" Bumblebee nearly wiped out as he skidded to a stop. "Come quick! Galvatron's got an energon reactor!"
"What?" The old mech dropped the datapad he'd been reading and raced after the yellow Minibot, his spark in his throat as he wondered what the young Prime had done to get hold of the elusive piece of equipment.
Galvatron was watching as the local engineers supervised the moving of the portable energon reactor, Deathscream and Cyclonus flanking him as always. He turned and gave Kup a relieved smile as the old mech stopped next to him. "It's only a small one, but it's a start. And we were able to get some parts, as well."
"How?" Kup frowned, wondering if he wanted to know.
"Cyclonus traded a kiss for some of the parts, and we paid for the rest with credits." Galvatron gave his brother an amused and approving look.
"And where'd you get the creds?" demanded Kup a little harshly. Then he stopped as something that had been nagging at him finally registered. "Where's your gun?"
The younger mech looked at his arm, which was bare but for mounting brackets. "I sold it."
"But... that's part of you. You can't transform without it." Kup gaped.
"It wasn't necessary." Galvatron shrugged and gently rubbed Deathscream's back as she gave the old security mech a look. "Cyclonus sold his too."
"Cyclonus' wasn't grown on!"
"Neither was this one." Galvatron turned away. "Please excuse me, Kup. I still have to do that paperwork from Earth."
Kup watched him go, still feeling shocked, but then shook his head and went to see what the tech nerds were going to do with that reactor.
