So that's how it is
( It is a pain in the mental tail to keep up with Transformers time measurements)

"Alita!"
The shock of who I was just fighting was a major...shock, so shocking in fact, it cost me, I unconsciously deactivated what ever had control of my body, I stood there in that strike position long enough for a laser of some kind to pass through my chest from my back, and now I am here. I am in a dark space with no light except for the one coming from my... soul/spectral form, but instead of a human, I am the same transformer from before I got here, giving off this blue light. Honestly, it reminds me of Shadow of mordor wraith world, except with no structures.
But where is here. I have been in here for a cycle (hour), admittedly long enough for me to get my head on straight... at least a little bit.
I am a cybertronian, a transformer, an experimental weapon, soldier, something.
But... what now, that laser through the chest should have gave me a game over but I am still here.
After a moment I thought of something. You know I haven't tried the thing, all reincarnater and transmigrater have done this it like the first thing they do, I don't know why I haven't done this already. "System Status" Then a orange screen with loads of information appeared in front of me pertaining to my current body, it wasn't like those other systems ethier, mine gave me the instictual feeling I was the system itself, and the panels thar popped up where a sorta of internal status update for a program, with a whole bunch of systems working as one, like weapons systems down and all that jazz, oh yeah and lets not forget it is written in cybertronian, which apparently I understand now. While looking through my systems a giant warning labels saying "System Failure." It started blaring and multiplying all around me like a cyber attack on a computer, but they were all from different systems. There were 30 different labels bit all seemed to hover around this bigger red one
Warning body has been heavily wounded
"How long will it take before repaired."
[[Error ! Unable to start resurrection due to lack of full systems operating, recommended to reactivate immediately.]]
"Well what are we waiting for reactivate all systems."
After I said that the lesser bright label panels one by one starting by the dimest appeared in front of me, I then painstakingly reactivated each one until I made it back to the big red one but now instead of the color red it's glowing blue with misty energy around the edges.
During the reactivation process I became aware of all the capabilities, abilities, and tools my new body now has, still new and inexperienced but not ignorant, you will not believe how many abilities I have compared to other cybertronians who are already loaded with stuff.
Quite frankly I can't wait to test them out and possibly get more.
Without hesitation I began the resurrection, A timer above me indicating when it would finish apeared, but instead of cybertronian symbols it showed earth numbers that went from 3s to 0s..... That.... is awesome... I looked at the damage earlier, and a lesser bot would have just been called a desecrated corpse but I only need 3s, to my understanding of my abilities that is like making me a robot doomsday,(HINT) that's badass.
When the timer counted down a flash of blueish white light appeared and then I could suddenly sense I was back in my body you know, like touch, sight, hear. I turned my head and saw I was hooked up to some kind of cargo transport drone, taking me most likely to be disected and studied. You know I just remembered I never did test my taste.. I looked at the drone. My eyes did a full scan of it and found tech I could certainly use, like it's radar cloaking and hover flight tech, not to mention material I could use for energy and other things. So without further hesitation I.. "Devoured" it whole within seconds, everything about it from its components to its programing was absorbed by me to be used at my disposal with any negatives converted to material, when I chose to absorb the drone I unconsciously sent out enough nanobots that make up my body to cover it, then as if acid they dissolved the metal contraption until there was nothing left then traveled back to my body. Afterwards I have notably picked up a few extra tons and looked a little bit bulkier then before. The drone had no weapons only radar cloaking, hoverflight, and up to 10,000 tons of carry strength.
After eating the drone I began to plumet towards the ground, but before I could touch the ground I activated my new hoverflight ability and abruptly halted my fall and eased towards the ground. It sorta looked like a mix between generator rex and the goblins glider hover devises but attached to my back. Knowledge of how to instinctively use it to the best of my ability apeared in my mind as if I was experienced in using it. When I touched ground I immediately took off on foot fast as F***, like guass from warframe to leave a trail to be followed, after 20 miles worth of zigzaging fox trails in a 10 mile radius I find the nearest landmark and or ledge and jump off it all this taking only 1min. and using my new flight capabilities I leave the area without leaving a clear path or direction for which I could be followed. I also analyzed current situations of both factions, the D. vs A. war started 6 years ago relatively new compared to almost timeless Automatons with the autobots not winning but putting major push back on the decepticon forces, and still holding seats in cybertronian form of government not yet labeled as a resistance quite yet.
Which means the autobots are still a "Strong" fighting force and the war has not yet completely destroyed the planet, maybe even warless cities, how do I know this you may ask. The data banks in the drone had locations labeled as either Decepticon or Autobot affiliation with 55% of them being neutral cities, 24% being D, and 21% being A strong holds. Though by neutral I mean that there is not a military strong hold there.
Manpower and resources are severely drained from the Autobots faction, due to a previous war, stuff the Decepticons have always had access to in abundance, leaving the good guys lacking in mass producing advance equipment of their own even with lots of scientists on their side. That brings me another thing, I know this sounds cliche as heck but I need to get stronger ASAP, I know the world and I now know the sorta time but my main worry is the verse and God forbid if I am in the Comics or in a merge with other verses like DC or Marvel. Nah they can miss me in that Unicron and Primus are bad enough. With that thought I take off towards the sky over the rust clouds and then towards my new destination, where am I going you may ask, back to the compound, I made a mistake not taking everything I could from that place, and now looking backvat it the autobots have most likely looted the place but my goal is something else, my goal is the scientist that made me, I know he is dead but his mind is still of use to me even with a hole in it thanks to my abilities.
Half way there I see some bots trying to decipher my mile wide fox trail
Oh there go the girls Arcee and Alita, sorry girls we will have my rematch next time. I still have my system cloaking on so they didn't sence me as I flew past them. No time to waste gotta get there before Big papa Shockwave realizes the retrieval team was stopped before they could leave the base.
