It had only been a day since Grimlock had come to the quiet town. However, the town was making massive strides in recovering from the Decepticon attack. What would take, what was estimates, a year and a half to rebuild, seemed more like three months of repair, thanks to the massive, metal Autobot.

It was early morning, people searching what remained of their houses, but Grimlock stayed up all night to help survivors out of the crumbles of their used to be homes. Most people panicked, but after Grimlock had dug up most of the survivors, they started to warm up to him. He would easily pick up a ton of debris to help the trapped people underneath.

Luckily, no one had died from the attack, only dozens of injured, the hospital would have a field day, but, for right now, everyone was just happy to be alive.

One thing that needed to be taken care of, was the corpses of the Decepticons that were scatted on the town. Discord had a quick solution, taunting Grimlock, making him turn into his Tyrannosaurus Rex mode, before Discord popped out of existence.

Grimlock was angry, his eyes glowing red, but, he ate the metallic corpses, almost as if he did it before. Blue Energon sometimes spilled out onto the ground, Grimlock's teeth making short work of the Decepticon bodies.

The Insecticons, which Grimlock hated, were instantly eaten, Grimlock growling and sniffing the air, walking along, watching for more corpses.

Fluttershy shook a little as she saw the ripped in half Decepticon on her front lawn. Luckily, the body was far enough not to be worrisome for her animal companions.

Grimlock, however, did come, eating the corpse. He started with the upper half of the body, lifting his head, swallowing it whole, much like a bird, Fluttershy noticed. He snorted out some smoke, before grabbing the second half of the body, eating it whole.

Grimlock gave a metallic bellow, a short spout of flames going into the air. He then started to walk away, Fluttershy giving a shudder, seeing how he ate the metal creature so easily, before she started to feed her animal friends, trying not to think of the giant, metal behemoth roaming around town.

Grimlock, still in Tyrannosaur mode, kept walking searching for the metal bodies of Insecticons or Decepticons. His thoughts turned back to Kickback; why is he here? Shockwave was understandable, but the Insecticons and Kickback were on Shockwave's side?

Thinking about it made his head throb, so, he searched for a tree to lie under. He felt something tap his leg, making him turn his tooth covered maw towards the interruption. There stood a small girl, a bow wrapped in her hair, looking at Grimlock with big eyes, full of wonder and curiosity.

"Well, hiya mister dragon, sir." She greeted with a country accent, making the giant, metallic T-Rex snort out some fumes. "Mah name's AppleBloom. An' ya'll are...?"

Grimlock turned to AppleBloom, towering over her easily. He searched what he should greet her with, before finding a right answer.

"Me Grimlock." The large Tyrannosaurus rumbled out, his voice deep, almost like a king should sound.

"Nice tah meet ya, mister Grimlock!" She said cheerily, making Grimlock chuckle, his red eyes turning back to forest green.

His body then started to shift back, scaring AppleBloom a little, before Grimlocks hands started to form. His legs hit the ground, his chest and shoulders forming, the Tyrannosaurus head on both shoulders, his fingers appearing along with his hands. His chest had the Autobot symbol appear on it, his head coming out of the moving mass of moving parts and metal.

He then started to stretch, towering over Applebloom, making her go wide eyed. He could easily take on Spike, when he turned into his Greed Growth form, nicknamed "Spikezilla" by both Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

Grimlock looked down at Applebloom, using his large, metal hand to pet her gently. He then stood up, walking away, Applebloom following the Autobot.

He kept walking, knowing Applebloom was there by the heavy panting next to him. He glanced at her, a little worried.

"Gee, for such a big guy, ya'll move fast." She joked, gasping a little as she ran, trying to keep up with his massive strides. He started to slow down, allowing her to walk, before he stopped, allowing her to catch her breath. "Mister Grimlock, where ya'll headin'?"

"To help whoever is in need of it." Grimlock replied, knowing the repairs would start tomorrow. "A King must help his subjects, must he not?"

"Ah'm sorry tah break it tah ya, but ya'll ain't a king." Applebloom said, making Grimlock turn to her, a playful glint in his eyes. "Princess Celestia is tha ruler. She's over a thousand years old."

"Child, do you know my age?" He asked, kneeling down, allowing her to not have to fall down if she wanted to look at him. She shook her head, making Grimlock chuckle. "You're Princess may be a thousand, but she is considered a Sparkling where I come from."

"Then, how old are yah?"

"I lost count after Lockdown captured me." Grimlock said, more to himself than anyone else, his eyes glowing blue for a brief second. "However, I'm over 25 million years old, if my math is not wrong."

Applebloom's jaw dropped, unnoticed by Grimlock as he stood up, walking slowly, so Applebloom could catch up. "You're 25 million years old?!"

"I said I lost count."

Grimlock didn't need to look at her face to see she had dropped her jaw, before he looked up, noticing a dark shape move between the clouds. He glared at the something big flew down, landing in front of the town.

It was a dragon! It had a massive, red scale covered body. It's spines were a orange, and its face held an arrogant smirk. His eyes were red, having massive wings, and a serpentine like neck and tail. It's lower jaw was larger than its upper one, and it gave an tone of 'fun' no one would like to participate in.

"OH SPIKE!" It called out, not noticing Grimlock walking slowly behind him. "Remember me, human?" It said the last word with laced venom, as if it knew Spike were a dragon, but he called him a human anyway.

Spike ran out, his little body visible, before it stopped dead in its place. A shiver ran up Spike's spine as he heard the voice, looking up to see an evil, hungry smile on the dragon's face. "G-Garble?!"

"That's right, it's me. I remember you, little hatchling." Garble said, before snarling at Spike. "I became a laughing stock, stopped by a hatchling and his human friends. Those hwo feared me now laugh at me, and those who loved me disowned me. All because of you!"

Garble's nostrils were now pumping out smoke, before a trail of rainbow flew around his head. Garble glared at it, like it was a fly. Grimlock kept walking forward, his eyes glowing red a little.

"And now..." Garble said, before cackling evilly. "I'm here to take everything away from you." Garble said, before looking over, smiling as he saw a familiar face; Twilight. He reached out, and it was too late before Twilight noticed Garble, being held in his massive, clawed hand.

The rainbow blur flew at him, before stopping at his snout, Rainbow Dash kicking his snout, doing nothing but make him growl. His other massive hand grabbed her, holding both out, eyeing them like candy.

"Let's start with roasting these two!" Garble said, inhaling, before Grimlock tapped his shoulder with his finger. Huh? What do you wa-"

Garble was interrupted as Grimlock sent his fist into the dragon's face, knocking out teeth, blood coming out of his jaws. He sent the dragon flying, both Twilight and Rainbow falling. They gave terrified screams, before Grimlock grabbed both of them with one hand, setting them on the ground.

"Are tiny humans okay?" Grimlock asked, his glowing red eyes gazing upon them. They both nodded, before Grimlock stood up, standing the same size as Garble. "Good. Now me going to crush puny dragon!"

Grimlock looked at Garble, who was getting up, glaring at him. Garble released a small spout of flames, but they rolled over Grimlock's chest like nothing. Grimlock started to walk forward, his massive staff extending out, gripping it in both hands, Garble backing up a little in fear.

"Who-What are you?" Garble asked in fear, before Grimlock started to laugh, looking at Garble with amusement evident in his eyes.

"Me Grimlock," Grimlock announced, for all to hear, everyone waiting for what he had to say next. "BADASS!"
