Here is how Bumblebee interrogates Barricade and how Optimus Prime kills Barricade in Transformers: Robots Among Us.

"I can say without a doubt that there are an infinite number of universe. Some much like our own... But for one or two occasions, exactly the same." -Megatron.

(The scene opens in the Transformers: Robots Among Us Universe where we see one of the white statues from the first movie at the rubble, but as it zooms out, we see that all of Mission City is in ruins with the headline "MISSION CITY DESTROYED - MILLIONS DEAD". This screen was shown inside the Chicago N.E.S.T HQ where everybody in the building is in shock, panic, or in disarray in slow motion. We then hear evil laughter coming from behind a door)

Barricade:(gets slammed onto the chair)

Bumblebee:(slams his fist on the table) The nuke, where'd you get it?!

Barricade: Why, you want one?(jeers) Copy bot.

(Suddenly, the wall bursts open as Optimus Prime walk in, rage in his eyes)

Optimus Prime:(with rage in his eyes) Get away from him, Bumblebee!

Bumblebee: I'm handling this, Optimus.

(Optimus walks over to the table, tosses it aside then picks up Barricade and slams him against the wall)

Optimus Prime: You hacked me! Me - Vixen Sigma... My son...

Barricade: First Cybertron, now Mission City. The people you love really tend to die around you, don't they?

Optimus Prime:(raises his fist)

Bumblebee: Optimus, don't!

Optimus Prime:(punches the wall instead)

Barricade: Heh. That's why I like you, Prime. You're much more guillible than Bee is.

Optimus Prime:(throws him to the other side of the room)

Barricade:(gets up; pops his back; walks over to a chair) You think you can have a family? That locking me up will somehow magically make me an Autobot? And they'll be safe?(sits down) So big. So dumb.

Optimus Prime:(walks towards him)

Barricade: Now run along, so I can bust out of here. I've got lots of strategizing to do to top this.

(this reaches Optimus' breaking point as he lifts Barricade up by his neck from his chair)

Bumblebee: That's enough!

(But Optimus just pushes him aside as Barricade realizes whst's coming)

Barricade: I know it's soon, Prime, but... Think you will ever love again? Maybe you won't kill your next family.

(Optimus had had enough and transformed his hand into a sword and thrust it into Barricade's chest, killing him while Barricade grunted as he breathed his last breath)

(this was the only the beginning. Not only was his rival gone, but so was his leader)

(Over time, Optimus slowly became a killer. When his mentors Alpha Trion and Zeta Prime were kidnapped by Makeshift, Optimus recruited Chromia, Sideswipe, Ironhide, Elita-1, Breakaway, Windblade, and Arcee to his cause. Optimus, Arcee, Chromia, and Ironhide went to Alchamor Asylum to remove the inmates)

(We see Bumblebee and Prowl using their jet packs to fly to the prison)

Prowl: I don't get it. So what if Optimus' removing the inmates from Alchamor? They're the worst of the worst.

Bumblebee: He's going to kill them, Prowl!

Prowl: Hmph, sounds like he'd be doing us and the universe a favor.

Bumblebee: Killing sentient beings isn't justice! Optimus can't see that! He's letting his own negative emotions cloud his judgement.

Prowl: Yeah, and what if it had been Chicago?! If Barricade killed me, your own partner?!

(Bumblebee stays silent)

Prowl: Thought you'd say that.

(As they approach Alchamor Prison, the jetpacks suddenly begin operating on their own)

Prowl:(presses a few buttons on his jetpack) They're not responding. We're being taken back to the San Diego Base.

Bumblebee: Prepare to detach!

(He and Prowl press a red button that detaches them from the jetpacks back to San Diego Base, and open their parachutes, gliding towards the Alchamor. But then Bee looks down and sees a groundbridge open up. Out of it comes Ironhide, a member of the Regime. He fires his cannons at the two, and Prowl loses control, and lands on a the top of a rock quarry. Bumblebee lands nearby Ironhide)

Bumblebee: A warning shot, Hide?

Ironhide: I have orders from Optimus not to hurt you unless I have to, Bumblebee, so I suggest you stand down.

Bumblebee: Well, you're gonna have to then.

Ironhide: Our comrades were in Mission City, Bee! Moonracer, Jazz, gone! If we do this, that will never happen again!

Bumblebee: You have the right to be angry. But it's not a blank check. And the Autobots are not a bunch murderers!

(Bumblebee and Drift went to stop them, only to be betrayed by Prowl, who killed Drift in the conflict. Bumblebee then recruited Amazonia, Strongarm, Jetscream, Hot Rod, Predaking, Lady Bee, Hound, and Grimlock to his cause. Secretly, he also recruited Major Malfuntion to his cause. Together, Bumblebee, Hound, Predaking, Strongarm, and Amazonia kidnapped Windblade, while Bumblebee secretly had Malfunction infiltrate the One Transformer Regime. When it was discovered that Windblade was still missing and Malfunction had replaced her by the Regime, Optimus and Arcee killed Malfunction. Later, Bumblebee, Amazonia, Jetscream, Hot Rod, and Predaking traveled to Team Prime Base to retrieve a prototype Energon pill that would enhance a Cybertronian's strength by ten thousand fold. However, the US President's distraction failed, Predaking and Optimus got into a fight. However, Arcee intervened, and shot his fire chamber, causing it to inflame all of his systems, including his flight systems. In a last ditch attempt to kill Optimus, Predaking flew high into the air, folded his wings, falling through the air, crashing into the ground, and exploding. Predaking died from the explosion, Arcee was injured, but Optimus survived. After Chromia took Arcee to safety, Optimus returned to Team Prime Base, where he murder Hot Rod. Meanwhile, Bumblebee returned to the NEST San Diego Base to analyze the Energon pill)

(We see Bumblebee driving into the abandoned NEST San Diego Base. He transforms and places the Energon pill on the analysis plate)

(Suddenly, a screen came on, and a distorted figure with it)

???:(on screen) He's coming... (Static) He's coming... (Static)

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(shocked someone managed to hack the system) Who is this? How did-?

(A figure appears on the screen, but it is distorted)

Figure: Leave now!

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(sees the process is only at 6%) I can't. It's not ready yet.

Figure: He's coming!

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(sees Optimus' reflection on the screen) No. He's not.

(we see Optimus arrive, the shadows hiding his face)

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(without looking at him) He's here.

Optimus Prime (Regime): I took away all the Decepticons of Chicago. But I left the final one. And like them, like all of your insane reflections, you'd see the Earth burn.

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(sees the process is 18%) You're delusional, Optimus.

Optimus Prime (Regime):(grabs him by the collar)

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(grunts)

Optimus Prime (Regime):(with rage in his eyes) Be careful how you speak to me.

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(sees the process is at 26%) Why are you here?

Optimus Prime (Regime): I'm here to put an end to this.

Bumblebee (Insurgency): No you're not. If you wanted to kill me, I'd be dead. You could've strapped me to a ship and launched me into the sun. Is that Hot Rod's Energon you're covered in?

Optimus Prime (Regime):(trying to look for an excuse) He-

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(interrupts him) Was the most ethical and compassionate friend we had, and one of the few Autobots who deserved the title of Prime. Go on, justify Hot Rod's death. I'll call Jetscream, and you can tell her why he had to die for the greater good.(Sees the process is now at 37%) I know why you're here, Optimus. I've seen this before. You think I can stop you. And somewhere, deep down, you want me to.

Optimus Prime (Regime):(throws him) STOP TALKING!

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(hits the wall with a grunt)(gets up and groans) That would be, wouldn't it? If I stopped talking. If I came at you with my war hammer and hit you over and over again. If I used Dark Energon on you so that I could increase my chances of winning.(sees the process is now at 54%) I'm sorry to disappoint you with this anticlimax, but I'm not going to do it, Optimus. I'm not going to fight you. I don't think I can beat you without killing you. And I'm not like you.(presses a button) I'm not a murderer.

(A video of Optimus and Vixen's wedding day plays)

Optimus Prime:(on video) I, Optimus Prime, do solemnly swear, to love and to cherish you, to honor protect you, in sickness and in health, until the end of days.

Ratchet:(on video) You may kiss the bride.

(as they kiss, Regime Optimus Prime has rage as clear as day in his eyes)

Optimus Prime (Regime): Stop it.

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(off-screen) Honor and protect.

Optimus Prime (Regime):(sees Insurgency Bumblebee has disappeared) You can't hide from me. I won't play your games, Bumblebee!

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(off screen) You failed to protect her.(sees the process is now at 83%)

Optimus Prime (Regime): I failed?! You failed! You failed everyone!

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(off screen) And honor? Do you truly believe you're honoring Vixen? Do you think this is what she would want?

Optimus Prime (Regime): I'm doing this for her!

(we then see that Insurgency Bumblebee is hiding on the rafters above Optimus)

Bumblebee (Insurgency): No. You stopped doing thing for Vixen the moment she died. You lost your connection to us, to everything that made you Optimus Prime.

Optimus Prime (Regime): I'm done being lectured, Bumblebee. It's time to start facing me head-on.

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(sees the process is at 93% and almost complete) You're right. It's time to even things up.(pulls out a a targeting device and presses Optimus' figure then pressing "engage")

(an alarm blared off, emitting a red glow)

(Immediately, the defense system locks onto Optimus and engages him. Insurgency Bumblebee jumps down from his hiding place, and heads for the analysis plate)

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(sees the process is 96% complete)

Optimus Prime (Regime):(uses his ion cannon and sword to destroy the defenses)

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(reaches for the pill as it is at 99%)

Optimus Prime (Regime):(grabs his wrist) No.

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(looks in shock)

Optimus Prime (Regime):(rips off his battle mask) You're right. I'm not here to kill you, Bumblebee. But I can't have you in a position where you can hurt me or the Earth again.(raises him over his head)

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(struggles) Optimus, don't! Op-

Optimus Prime (Regime):(brings him down on his knee, breaking his back)

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(yells in pain)

Optimus Prime (Regime):(drops him and begins walking away) I'm sorry. You're just too dangerous, Bumblebee.

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(looks up and sees the screen says ANALYSIS COMPLETE. UPLOADING TO REMOTE SERVER; tries to get up) You...

Optimus Prime (Regime):(turns around) Don't try to get up. You can not. You're back is broken. I'm surprised that you are still conscious. I am putting you away with the rest of the Decepticons that operate in Chicago. Accept it.

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(groans as he tries to continue to get up)

Optimus Prime (Regime):(walks over to him) Stay - down.(pushes him back down with his foot)

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(grunts in pain)(groans)

Optimus Prime (Regime): It's over, Bumblebee. Stop trying to fight me.

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(weakly) Wasn't... Trying to fight you... Was trying to distract you...

Optimus Prime (Regime):(turns around) What?(shocked to see the process is complete) What did you do?

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(smirks) I gave us a chance. We can synthesize it now. We can stand up to you.

Optimus Prime (Regime):(pushes him down) Where it upload? Who has access to it?(pushes down on his back hard)

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(grunts in pain)

Optimus Prime (Regime): TELL ME!

Bumblebee (Insurgency): No matter what you tell yourself in the future, I want you to remember this moment. When you resorted to torture for the greater good.

Optimus Prime (Regime):(shocked) I - I didn't mean to-

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(unsurprised) No. Of course not. It's always someone else's fault, isn't it? It makes it so much easier to justify your own atrocities. You're not an Autobot or a Prime. You're just another Decepticon!

(A hand suddenly touches Optimus' shoulder)

???: Optimus.

(he turns around to see Jetfire there)

Optimus Prime (Regime):(shocked) Jetfire?

(But he fails to notice that the pill is gone)

(suddenly, Insurgency Jetfire headbutts Optimus)

(Optimus falls over with Energon pouring out of his nose)

Jetfire (Insurgency): I am very disappointed in you.(slams the bottom of his cane on Optimus) No more. Do you hear me?!(slams the top part of his cane onto Optimus) YOU DON'T GET TO HURT MY FRIENDS EVER AGAIN!!!(slams the top part of his cane onto Optimus again)(cleans his cane off and heads over to Insurgency Bumblebee)

Bumblebee (Insurgency): Jetfire?

Jetfire (Insurgency):(grabs a nearby Autobot stretcher and sets next to Bee) Easy, Bumblebee. I've got you. This going to hurt a little.(picks him up and set him on the stretcher)

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(groans as Insurgency Jetfire straps him in) What about-?

(Insurgency Jetfire pushes Insurgency Bumblebee outside where Insurgency Hound is waiting)

Jetfire (Insurgency) We have everything we need, old friend.

Bumblebee (Insurgency):(sees Insurgency Hound) Hound, what are you-?

Hound (Insurgency):(pulls attachment straps out of his pack) Figured ya'd need a medic. So I informed Jetfire what you were going to do.(attaches four straps to the stretcher then signals Insurgency Jetfire to transform)

(Insurgency Jetfire transforms as Regime Optimus begins to recover. Insurgency Hound then attaches the final strap to Jetfire, who lifts the stretcher up. Insurgency Hound then grabs a nearby flatbed, transforms, and attaches himself to it. Insurgency Jetfire sets the stretcher onto the flatbed. He then transforms and secures the stretch to the flatbed as Optimus begins to get up)

Jetfire (Insurgency): There is nothing worth saving in this place.

(A Groundbridge opens up and Insurgency Hound hauls Insurgency Bumblebee into it while Insurgency Jetfire follows them)
