  Summary

  We all know how the story goes, correct? We learn about Overload, the dramatic, talented and - let's be honest with ourselves - vane Decepticon spy, who was trapped in stasis in the prisoner ship, the Alchemor. The one who fought Optimus Prime, the one who lured Bumblebee - Optimus' s loyal scout - to a trap that resulted in his voice box being ripped out. Now, thanks to the crash of the ship on Earth, he is free to cause mayhem.
  But... What if things went differently? What if he didn't later join Steeljaw's pack of other Decepticon prisoners? What if he joined (he can claim that he remained neutral all he wants, I, however, am not THAT blind) our titular main characters in their shenanigans and battles? Forced to reflect on a past he thought he had made peace with? And how would his actions affect the others?
