In a different timeline, after defeating megatron and restoring a majority of the allspark, the autobots are quick to abandon earth, as well as their half human/half cybertronian friend, and return to cybertron. Left slightly hardened and bitter at the betrayal, Sari Sumdac was left to pick up the pieces on earth. A variety of new threats now remain; unstable energon deposits, allspark mutations, super villains emboldened by the autobots’ departure, Porter C. Powell’s acquisition of the lugnut supremes and their technology, keeping starscreams remains from being reactivated as well as the threat of blackarachnia and her growing predacon army.

Forced to deal with these problems, sari creates her own army of the few bots who remain on earth. Through coercion, logic and outright intimidation she has gathered her new team and struggles every day to hold them together and keep the world from ending.

Slipstream: second in command, the rogue decepticon clone is intrigued and impressed by the human girls “moxie” enough to stick around. The most battle capable, she often is the one to help Sari keep the others in line. She also thinks it smart to keep an eye on starscream.

Wreck-gar: the closest Sari has to a real friend now, the two are very close, despite his naiveté and sporadic tendencies. With her help, his memory is evening out and starting to solidify. He still lives under the delusion that sari is his girlfriend and he is actually team leader and due to their friendship and his willingness to help, she’s willing to entertain the fantasy.

Soundwave: with his partner laserbeak, Sari is forced to use dizzying logic to keep them around. Using the rational that as both were born on earth and upgraded by the allspark, they are akin to siblings and bound to defend the earth, a conclusion soundwave is forced to accept. While still advocating robotic supremacy, he silently complies with sari’s command, partially out of fear of retribution from the much larger, stronger bots on the team.

Dinobots: the violent and belligerent trio migrated to the mainland after the many damages done to their island. In an effort to both use their talents and keep them out of trouble, sari absorbed them into her new force. She is consistently forced to utilize her powerful allspark-given powers as well as putting on a much tougher front to earn their respect and compliance.

Constructicons: after Mixmaster and Scrapper grew tired of Dirtboss’ aggressive and bossy leadership and ditch him, sari “hired” them to join up. While their strength is a boon, they are well suited to repairing the consistent damage to the city. The two are actual conbtent with a hard days work, especially when it earns them some barrels of oil afterwards.

Cosmos: an autobot deep-space explorer and messenger, he wound up crashing on earth and losing his memory. Taking advantage of the situation, sari convinced the autobot that he was also born from an allspark fragment and a heroic defender of earth. A small part of her feels guilt for manipulating him in his condition, but to her, if it was the autobots who brought all this trouble to earth, then they should help deal with it.
