Transformers: Down Amongst The Dreads

After an energon raid gone wrong, the decepticon scout known as Counterpunch has been put on trial for his incompetence during the operation. Standing before Megatron and other sub-leaders within the decepticon army--Counterpunch is ready to be executed by Tarn. Half satisfied in knowing he screwed over the decepticons, but also half disappointed that he would go out before he could finally find the 'con that ruined his life.

As he's about to be executed--someone speaks ups. It's Sixshot. The phase sixer gives his reasoning to Megatron. Explaining the faults of the scout could be rectified with a proper guiding hand, that hand being Sixshot himself--who, despite his infamy as a one bot army, has made a name for himself by taking outcast decepticons into his fold. Installing them as members of what the 'cons call the Deception variant of the Autobot blackops team known as the Wreckers-- The Dreads.

Megatron, trusting the phase sixer due his numerous successes on the field. Allows Counterpunch's execution to be put on the backburner and possibly nullified if he proves himself on Sixshot's team.

And it basically follows Counterpunch on various missions with the Dreads. Gaining their trust, bonding with them and deciding if his path of vengeance is worth it when faced with an ever changing Cybertron.
