Here's the first one-shot, a sort of remake of the one-shot I had put up a while ago. It's not a total remake but there are some changes to it. Enjoy!

Steeljaw x Strongarm

~~~~~~~~~~

The Autobots and the Decepticons have been on Earth for a while now and have been fighting nonstop, the Autobots trying to lock up the 'Con criminals and the 'Cons trying to stay free. But not all was good in the Decepticon team, they were betrayed by one they really thought they could trust, Glowstrike. Most of the 'Cons stayed with her, mostly out of fear, but a few decided to leave her team. Steeljaw got this idea to make a deal with the Autobots since he now sees Glowstrike as a serious threat, so after he leaves with his team and Saberhorn he calls the Autobots and tells Bumblebee to meet him, alone.

Bumblebee was hesitant at first but agreed. He went to meet Steeljaw where he said to, keeping up his guard the whole time. He didn't trust that mech one bit, he didn't even like the idea of having to meet him alone, but he knew his team was ready to come back him up if he needed it. Bumblebee gets to the spot and sees Steeljaw walk out of the shadows. Bumblebee takes a look around for any of the others but doesn't see them, Steeljaw is alone.

Steeljaw couldn't help but laugh at seeing the lieutenant so on edge, "Do you not trust me, Lieutenant?"

"You know I don't, Steeljaw. Now, what do you want?"

"Nothing more than to make a deal."

"What kind of deal?"

"My team and I want nothing more to do with Glowstrike, she betrayed us."

"How?"

"She wanted to sell us out to this mech of a higher power. I don't know who he is but something about him just didn't sit right with me and I didn't want to serve under him."

"Did you see him?"

"No, only heard him talking to Glowstrike. But something tells me that whoever he is he will be a great threat."

Bumblebee's optics widen slightly, this is indeed troublesome. But how can he be sure he can trust what Steeljaw is saying? "What kind of deal are you looking to strike up?"

"I'm offering to help you take down Glowstrike and this mech." Bumblebee looks at him a bit suspiciously. Why would he offer to help? He must have something planned. Before he could ask anything, Steeljaw spoke again, "There is, of course, one condition."

Bumblebee narrowed his optics, he knew there was something to it, "What's that?" Bumblebee already knows what he's gonna ask for.

Steeljaw smirked, "That you and your team become our mates."

"WHAT!?" OK, maybe he didn't know.

"Allow us to choose who we want to mate with from your team and they must follow through with it." Steeljaw struggles to keep himself from licking his lips and wagging his tail in excitement as he thinks of the one 'Bot he desires so much to mate with.

Bumblebee blinked at Steeljaw in complete surprise, he wasn't sure how to answer. He never had an offer like that, "Let me consult my team about it," he finally told him.

"I'll come to the scrapyard tomorrow for your answer." Steeljaw was a bit disappointed to not get an indefinite yes but at the same time he suspected it, he'll just have to wait.

"Is that all?"

"Yes, see you tomorrow."

Bumblebee transformed and drove off, still looking out for any of the members from Steeljaw's pack as he headed back to base. A moment after Bumblebee left, Steeljaw transformed and drove off as well, heading to his team.

As Steeljaw pulls up to where his team is hiding they all surround him, "How did it go? Did Bumblebee take the deal?" Saberhorn was the first to ask as Steeljaw transforms.

"He said he's gonna talk to his team. But I had put up a good case so I have no doubts he'll accept the deal."

Saberhorn gave a shit-eating grin, "I already know the bot I'm gonna choose."

"I think we all have one in mind," Thunderhoof said.

"Maybe we should talk about who we plan on picking so we don't end up picking the same 'Bot," Steeljaw suggested and they all agreed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as Bumblebee gets to the scrapyard he is greeted by his team, "What did Steeljaw want?" Strongarm asked as Bumblebee transformed.

"He wanted to make a deal."

"What kind of deal?" Drift asked.

"He said he and his team left Glowstrike because she was gonna sell them out to this mech of a higher power. He said he didn't know who this mech was but he felt that he was big trouble and would be a big threat, so he wanted to make a deal with us that he would help us take down Glowstrike and this mech if we agreed to become their mates, whichever one chooses us."

"Out of the question! No!" They all exclaimed.

"He could be lying about this mech. This could be another scheme to get into the scrapyard and release the other 'Cons," Strongarm says, she never trusted a word that came out of the Wolf-Con's mouth.

"I've already considered that, but we also need to weigh our options. I don't like Steeljaw at all myself but if he was sincere and we really are in danger and he really wants to help then maybe we should..."

"Sir, are you really suggesting we take the deal?"

"It's an option."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The time soon came when Steeljaw would show up for his answer. The team stood silently at the gate as they waited. After some time, Steeljaw arrived, driving in with Thunderhoof, Overload, and Saberhorn right behind him. Steeljaw transforms and looks at Bumblebee, "Well, Bumblebee, do you have an answer?"

"Yes. We agree to your deal."

Steeljaw smirked, "Great choice. Only us four will choose."

"Get on with it already."

"Guys, go take your choice of mates," Steeljaw told the three.

Thunderhoof went over to Sideswipe, "I choose you."

"Really? I get elk boy?"

Overload went over to Windblade, "You, my dear, are lucky. You're getting the best-looking one on the team."

"I'm so lucky," Windblade says sarcastically as she rolls her optics and looks over at Strongarm.

Strongarm just rolled her optics and walked over to Denny, "Got anything I can help you with, Denny?"

"There are a few heavy items I could use help moving. But aren't you staying for the pick?"

"Why? I already know I'm not getting picked."

"I'm sure one of the remaining two will pick you, but if you insist on helping me out instead of waiting to see then follow me," Denny said as he led the way to the area of the scrapyard where the stuff he needed to be moved is. 

Bumblebee sighed, "Let me guess, I'm with you, Steeljaw."

Steeljaw laughed, "Keep dreaming, Lieutenant. I'm not choosing you."

Saberhorn stepped forward, "I am, chap!"

Bumblebee looks at him with wide optics, "You? I'm gonna be your mate?"

"Yep!"

"The one I have my sights on is..." Steeljaw trailed off when he looked around and saw that the cadet was gone. With a growl, he looks back at Bumblebee, "Where is your cadet!?"

Bumblebee turns around and looks, "Not sure..." After a second, the realization hits him and he turns back around to face Steeljaw again, "No, not Strongarm! So much will be ruined for her if she mates with you! My career will be ruined by mating with Saberhorn but I'm in a high position already, she's still a cadet in training! She has so much potential ahead of her!" Bumblebee tries to reason but Steeljaw wasn't hearing any of it.

"I don't care! I want her as my mate and I'm going to have her! She's pretty much the whole reason I decided to make this deal with you!" Steeljaw tells Bumblebee before walking off to look for Strongarm, "Human, where did Strongarm go?" Steeljaw asked Russell.

"What makes you think I'll tell you?" Russell answered back with attitude making Steeljaw growl at the human.

"Russell, tell him," Bumblebee tells the kid.

Russell let out a sigh, "Fine, she went that way with my dad to help him move some stuff," Russell told the Wolf-Con as he pointed in the direction Strongarm went with Denny. Steeljaw headed off in that direction.

~~~~~~~~~~

Strongarm was helping Denny move the stuff he needed to be moved to another side of the scrapyard, when she made a turn around one of the corners she smacked right dabbed into something, and was knocked back onto her aft. She looks up to see what she bumped into and sees Steeljaw standing over her, "Steeljaw, what are you doing back here? Shouldn't you be with your new mate? Whoever you chose," she questioned as she started to get up.

Steeljaw chuckled as he helped her up, "That's exactly why I'm here, to be with my mate," he said as he pulled her close to him.

Strongarm looks at him in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"I choose you, Strongarm, to be my mate."

"No, I can't!" She tries to pull away but he keeps a strong hold on her servo, "Why me?"

"Ever since our last fight, I've been determined to make you mine."

Strongarm furrows her optic ridges, "I'm not mating with a 'Con!"

"So you're gonna deny a command from your lieutenant? You're gonna break the deal after your commanding officer agreed to it? How would your lieutenant feel knowing his cadet refused to follow his command?"

Strongarm vents out a sigh of frustration, he did have a point, "Alright! I'll be your mate."

Steeljaw smiles as his tail swooshes from side to side, "Good, Cadet. Now lead the way to your quarters."

Strongarm leads Steeljaw to her quarters as he continues to keep his hold on her servo. She can't believe she's doing this, about to mate with a 'Con criminal. A leader of the 'Con criminals and one that is most wanted on Cybertron. She's about to lose everything she worked hard for by mating with this criminal.

They reach the section of the scrapyard where the others are and Steeljaw gives a nod to the others to indicate that the deal is still on and to go mate with their chosen partners. The other 'Cons got their chosen mates to lead the way to their quarters and they all mated while the other bots went out on patrol.
