Altima Prime

[sunstar]

"Please, Father. You know me. You know who I am. I know you won't hurt me. It's me, Altima. I'm the light of your life, the reason you fight so hard against Megatron. It's okay, I'm here." -Altima Prime to Optimus Prime, who has been corrupted by Megatron's virus. Memory-

Altima Prime is the daughter of Optimus Prime. She was never susposed to be on earth. She and her mother, Elita-1, had gone to see the Ark off when there was an explosion. Altima was shoved toward Optimus by Elita, and ended up on board as it launched. Optimus took this in stride, not knowing a 4 million year sleep was ahead of them.

While on earth, Altima adopted a blue and silver truck as her alt mode. Optimus taught her the skills she would need later in life when it was her turn to become Prime. He also had her study at Teltran1 for two hours every day. Altima was not thrilled about learning the old fashioned way.

Optimus refused to allow her to help fight the Decepticons. Instead, when the Autobots dealt with the Cons, Altima was to 'protect' the Ark. Starscream overheard about this while retreating from battle and convinced Megatron to keep the Autobots busy while he went and secured a 'present' he was sure Megatron would love. Starscream was sucessful in capturing Altima, only to lose her to Skywarp, who promptly lost her to Thundercracker, only for Starscream to steal her back. It wasn't long before Megatron found himself facing off all of the Autobots at once. He decided he'd rather live and left, only for the seekers to return to him, in pieces. Megatron was not happy.

Megatron decided to do the thinking and came up with a plan. Get Optimus to destroy everything. For this, he unvieled a little project of his. A virus that 'hijacks' the central processor and drives the infected to insanity. To get the virus to Optimus? Megatron staged a battle at a power plant which Optimus responded to with a team of his best Autobots. With Starscreams help, if it could be called that, Megatron planted the virus on Optimus using his alt form.

Back at the Ark, Ratchet repaired Optimus as Altima watched worriedly. She knew something was up. Sadly, no one believed her, even Optimus. The virus took hold a day later. Optimus went on a rampage, damaging many of the Autobots as Ratchet, Perceptor, and Wheeljack scrambled to find the problem. Altima was able to calm Optimus down long enough for Perceptor to run a scan. Perceptor found the virus, and recognized what it used to be. He was able to figure out what Megatron did to the virus. Optimus went nuts again, going after Jazz and Prowl. While the medical bots worked to come up with a cure, Altima and Spike worked to calm Optimus down. To keep herself from panicking, Altima hummed a familiar lullabye that Optimus used to sing to her at night when she was little.

Ratchet dropped a bomb shell. The only way to stop the virus was to perform open processor surgery and remove the part of the processor that was infected. Altima agreed to allow her father to undergo the surgery. The only problem was that the part of the processer that was infected was the part that held all of Optimus's memories. There was a good chance of Optimus waking up with no memory of who he is. Altima pointed out that they had to catch him first before they could deal with that.

Altima found and cornered Optimus. Walking up to him, she reminded him of who he was. She sang their old lullabye, keeping him distracted from Wheeljack sneaking up behind him and knocking him out.

These stories and more will be a part of my rewrite of the G1 series with Altima added in. I don't plan to use every episode from the show. I've got some of my own I'm going to use. Some of you may recognize Airazors body shape and design from the japanese BW comics I used her as a guide for Altima. the helment and the armor design is mine.
