Is it Wheeljack though or is it the spy (who's name I can't remember) that took his place? If the Timeline isn't properly remembered or simply deviated more after all it's not impossible that he hasn't been outed yet.

I think the imposter thing has already long past tbh.
What's supposed to happen here, is that Bulkhead almost dies to Hardshell the Insecticon then Wheeljack comes back and kills Hardshell with Miko and I think Wheeljack gets his vehicle mode to sub for Bulkhead.
At least, that's my memory of events, I could be 100% wrong, but Wheeljack shouldn't be here yet. Then again, Cliffjumper is alive so who knows.

Glad to see this story's back from its (short) hiatus.
There's not many Transformers fics —and even fewer good ones— so it's great this isn't dead.

Heed my words... Egg.
Canon is a railroad some would say. So what if we just take the important bits (luggage) and go off the rails. See what happens.
Eien!NemeSIs: The Risk I took was calculated. But holy shit am I bad at math. *She thinks after Bulkhead and Wheeljack corner appear over the ridge staring her down.
First would be a disaster waiting to happen. Might think about that.
Second, Eien!NemeSIs has olfactory sensors. They were just turned off previously.
Our favorite little psycopathic Autobot. Know this. The next chapter will be an interlude of sorts expositioning a bit on the changes of the timeline. :3
What's next? El Dorado a long lost cybertron city?.... Everyone converges to Earth? CHICKENS learn how to fly?
On second thought I will stop talking about such ideas and hope that our MC still have all of her limbs intact. Earth seems to be getting very small at this point.

Interlude: A Surprise but a Welcome one
-=-=-=-=-=-
After the whole debacle with the Nemesis gaining a mind of its own and their human allies saving their afts, Optimus congratulated the the children on their success against the Decepticons, especially since they have received the decrypted coordinates of six Iacon relics. Now that is incredibly difficult for the autobots, because as of now they didn't have the numbers in order to make an attempt on all six of the locations.
Optimus had to think, especially with their numbers they could only reliably stretch themselves so apart. At most maybe they could reach four of the six locations, and perhaps if they were fast enough then maybe they could make the attempt for the other two.
Somberly the autobot leader glanced at the berth Cliffjumper was confined to, Arcee sitting on a container right beside him watching over the red scout. It was a shame that he wasn't able to break Cliffjumper out of the Decepticon's clutches fast enough. Granted it was still good that they saved him before Megatron had the chance to use dark energon on him, but he hasn't woken up at all since then despite his body healing up most if not all his wounds.
No matter, the autobots couldn't afford to wait for the red mech. They had to fight, and could only hope one day he would return back to their family. Optimus looked away as he began thinking of how exactly they were going to perform the Iacon relic retrievals.
Just as he was thinking about the teams he was going to put together for a relic each, he was surprised by Ratchet calling out his name. "Optimus! We have an incoming hail."
Walking on over to the console, Optimus turned to his old friend. "Any ID on who this may be Ratchet?"
Team Prime's medic looked like he wanted to off himself as he let out a sigh, speaking of his name just as Bulkhead walked into the room. "It's Wheeljack."
"Jackie?! He's here?!" The green wrecker echoed off excitedly looking around thinking he was already here since he only just heard his friend's name. Which only seemed to further aggravate Ratchet but slightly amuse Optimus.
"Negative Bulkhead, though it would seem that he is giving us a call. Ratchet, let us answer it." The autobot leader turned back to Ratchet and gave his order, the medic nodding in response before pressing a button on the console, which made a sort of dial-up noise before a click.
~"Hey Doc, is Prime there? I got something he'd like to hear."~ Wheeljack strangely enough almost sounded resigned but also excited at the same time, which confused most of the autobots listening in. Regardless, Optimus himself answered instead of Ratchet so that they wouldn't waste time.
"I am here Wheeljack. Though I will have to apologize as I will be requesting your assistance for an important endeavor." Optimus Prime said with a dire tone to his voice. The autobot in question was still thinking of who is going to go alone when retrieving the Iacon relics as their numbers were just that low.
~"Heh, I had a feeling you'd say that. Which is why luck seems to be on our side. I'm coming in with some cargo, ones you'd like to see."~ While the others were curious, only Bulkhead seemed to find it odd that Wheeljack was being so secretive right now. ~"I'm nearing your landing pad in a few minutes, try and prepare a welcoming party."~
With that, Wheeljack turned off his communications on his end. Optimus turned to Ratchet just as his old friend turned to look at him with confusion clear in his optics, they were interrupted from their thoughts when Arcee spoke up. "What does he mean by prepare a welcoming party?"
Bulkhead seems to be just as confused. "Maybe he managed to find other autobots and are bringing them here? Aside from me, no one here really knows how to give a wrecker's welcome. Well aside from you Optimus but yeah."
Optimus nodded his helm, coming to the same conclusion as the resident wrecker. "It could very well be exactly that Bulkhead, and judging by Wheeljack's tone and the fact he wanted to speak to me first. It would stand to reason that our new arrivals may be ones I am most familiar with."
"As if that is going to narrow it down. Optimus you have mingled with nearly everyone of the Autobots during your time as our leader. I doubt there isn't a bot you DON'T know in any way shape or form no matter how little." Ratchet commented, and that is fair. Especially since Optimus is one of the rare sort of leader who takes the time to learn the names of all the other bots, no matter their rank and job. That's one of his qualities that the rest of the autobots idolize him for on top of his sense of justice, freedom, and drive to fight for what is right.
Of course, in typical humble speak Optimus decided to rebuke that. "That may be so Ratchet, but I am not omnipotent, nor have I ever intended to come across as such. There are many times where I don't have the answers, and just as many times where even I will question myself. I simply wish it so that I will be able to work with everyone as smoothly as possible, only together will we be able to defeat Megatron and his Decepticons."
"Nevertheless, it is your natural charisma and leadership skills that is what brought the autobots together and here today Optimus, you are a Prime and you are a shining example of what an Autobot should be. It is what got every single one of us following you." Ratchet retaliated as they stepped out onto the roof of their base, waiting with everyone except for their human allies due to their curfew.
Silence reigned between everyone as they waited for Wheeljack, taking in what Ratchet said about their leader Optimus Prime. However before any other thoughts regarding that made any way into their helms, the telltale sound of an object whistling as if cutting through the air reached their audio sensors.
Bumblebee looked up for the noise and pointed while letting out a few series of beeps. "Look! A Decepticon dropship!"
Ratchet narrowed his optics as he looked down at his scanner. "It's broadcasting the same signal as Wheeljack's Jackhammer, it's safe."
Just like that, the ship Wheeljack piloted came through the clouds and slowly descended to the landing pad a few meters away from them. The rear of the ship facing team Prime as they walked on closer just as the door slowly opened. There at the top was Wheeljack, smirking as he walked down.
Right then and there, Bulkhead's little guess was correct and much to their surprise. Especially Prime's, the next few bots that came out were rather famous for varying reasons.
"KABOOM BABY! Finally we're grounded! Optimus how ya been?!" A large red mech nearly as tall as Optimus himself with a cannon barrel on his torso, blue colored visor covering his optics, and red battlemask over his own intake stomped down the ramp. Said mech also stepped forward to give Optimus a good knuckle-rap on his shoulder plate.
"While I would not say it as explosively as Warpath did, I'm of the same question. How have you been Optimus? Still been fighting the good fight huh old friend?" Another red mech, one a little smaller came out of the dropship, two large cannons attached to his arms and built similarly to Bulkhead in terms of size and shape.
"Warpath? Ironhide? It is good to see you two here with us-" Optimus was about to continue when he was interrupted by a femme's voice and another mech's voice.
"Oi! You two red lugs help us before you catch up with Optimus! Neither Jazz nor myself are strong enough to carry her you know! Stop laughing Jazz! I see you giggling back there." Popping from the dropship's doorway, a blue heavy built femme walked out and placed her servos on her hips. Staring down at the now sheepish looking Warpath and Ironhide.
Ironhide turned to Optimus and looked serious. Which caused the Prime to feel a little bit concerned. "Optimus, just so you know. She's still alive. Don't worry ok?" This only caused Optimus to feel a little bit more worried, especially since Ironhide was one of his oldest friends. For the mech to say that to him, it could only be something that might make him lose himself.
When both heavy built mechs followed Chromia back into the ship, Jazz came out of the vessel. Despite his earlier laugh and easy going smile, the autobots could feel a serious air emanating from the much smaller mech.
"Optimus sir, aside from what is in the Jackmaul. I'm afraid I come bearing bad news." Jazz began, his smile fading away into a frown as he clasped his servos behind himself. Looking up into Prime's optics, the small mech decided to say it just to get it out of the way.
"We have intel that Warhound is within this solar system somewhere. Perhaps even here on this planet or on its moon." That seemed to garner some reaction from Optimus, Ratchet and Bulkhead, all of them in varying degrees of shock at the mere mention of that dangerous decepticon. Although Arcee and Bumblebee seem a little bit confused at the name.
"Are you certain?" Optimus Prime asked- nay, demanded Jazz if he is absolutely certain of this information.
Only for Jazz to nod his helm and motion behind him with the same helm. "We have your conjunx to thank for that."
This caused Optimus to freeze as he replayed those words several times in his helm. He dared not held out hope that she lived when they got separated after falling into that portal. Elita-One, Optimus' Conjunx Endura and it took all of his willpower to not immediately run into the Jackmaul.
Especially since Warpath and Ironhide were slowly carrying what was most definitely a medical stasis pod with the assistance of Chromia and Wheeljack. "I... see..." For the first time in a while, Optimus was rendered speechless at the situation.
"Commander Elita-One was working with other autobot elements to infiltrate a decepticon base that carried confidential information. Aside from the commander, only one other bot survived and he said he was planning to try and rally any other autobot he could find. Elita-One was hurt quite severely once the secrecy was discovered and she had to make do with what info she could manage to copy down, though thankfully Ironhide, Chromia, and myself were able to bring the injured femme to a station after extracting her." Jazz felt a large servo land on his shoulder and looked back up at Optimus who looked more than thankful, especially with the knowledge of Elita's survival.
Jazz simply nodded with a smile before losing it in favor of continuing his report. "One of the info discs said that there is speculation that Warhound was discovered to be in stasis somewhere in this system."
"I thought that con kicked the bucket when you managed to find a way for him to shoot himself with his own cannon." Bulkhead commented as he looked more than a little worried at the mention of that certain decepticon.
"Hold on! Timeout, who is Warhound?" Arcee asked as she looked back and forth between the three Autobots who knew more about him than either her or Bumblebee.
"I'm afraid that is a story for another day Arcee. Jazz, Ironhide, Warpath, Chromia, Wheeljack. Now that you are here, I must ask. We have an operation that requires as many able servos as possible, will you please lend us your strength?" Optimus placated Arcee before turning to the new Autobot arrivals.
"Hah! Like you need to ask that Optimus?" Ironhide's grinned widely, denta shining with his scarred faceplate only accentuating the tough look he had.
"No need to ask Prime, we got your back." Chromia commented with a grin of her own, idly rubbing her servo on the stasis pod holding Elita-One. She noticed Optimus' gaze lingering on it as well and gave him a nod, she saw the Prime's shoulders sag a little in relief.
"Ka-blamo! A wrecker will take on any job! No job is too dirty for us, you know this Prime! I'm in!" "What big kaboom here said, I'm in. Whatever this op is, you said you needed the numbers, we got numbers now." Warpath and Wheeljack said their pieces before striding forwards to bash helms with Bulkhead.
"I will follow you till the ends of the universe sir. What's the mission?"
Optimus Prime looked at all of them and thought to himself. He didn't expect this surprise earlier, but they surely were a welcome one. He let out a vent before speaking. "We have six locations..."
Optimus Prime: A surprise to be sure. But a Welcome one.
Nemesis Prime: This is not a welcome surprise at all!

Also is a biggie interlude. With some OCs coming in. Apologies if that is not your cup of tea. <:3

I think that this interlude should have come before the previous chapter. Having said that this is indeed not my cup of tea because I thought that it was going to be the next part after the cliffhanger of chapter 8. Instead is an interlude that happened before chapter 8 and left me blue balled.

"Yeah, so? He has the personnel files on his hard drive. So what?"
"You don't get it. He always knows everybody. Through every continuity, and every retcon! Do you know how awkward it is to have some random bot you've never seen before say they were on your team for 200 years!? He never has that problem!"
"Wow, that is impressive."

This clip might be of interest, I think.
Some of them, I hope Nemesis Prime can recover, since it would prevent their destruction.
Just him getting the Forge, could alter some things, already.
Hopefully, Nemesis Prime can secure them all, for a later (rainy) day.
Yeah, let Nemesis Prime become those relics, their guardian.

Edit:
Say TheLunchKing will you let Nemesis Prime find a certain group of bots?
Getting Nemesis Prime her own team...
Just watch the reaction of everybody else, of PredaKing suddenly facing......The Dinobots.
The Autobots will need a base, after their own base gets wrecked.

Oh my. This put things in a way different projections then what it suppose to be. Things are going to be way different with this set of information. Now the question is what changed and why?
It's like a sudden active development going on.....(hint, hint, hint)
Also I notice how our SI vocabulary is changing as the story progress also. It's like she is changing.
Im gessing Nemisis new negotiation tactic is going to be 'I have a bigger guns then you now listen to my demands!' deal. If she does not go crazy first.

Heed my words... Egg.
Yeah, figured that would be it. But the reason why I put this interlude after Chapter 8 is because Wheeljack going with Bulk was supposed to be the surprise. This interlude would shed light as to why Bulk suddenly has a party member with him for this relic and show everyone there is more than four relics that is not the Omega Keys.
Don't worry though. I'm working on Chapter 9 right now as I write this.
Bulkhead, Jazz, and Warpath will be the noisiest Autobots with Miko around. Though Jazz will do like his namesake and listen to Jazz music instead.
Jazz: "Ya like Jazz?"
Omnimus Prime: I know all. But I don't know all.
Nothing so confrontational just yet. Especially since Warhound is one of mine/Eien/NemeSIs OCs. Once she knows he exists in this timeline and that he is somewhere nearby, NemeSIs' reaction is gonna be that of terror given what capabilities I gave the guy.
Idea. Maybe for later or another time.
Dunno about the Dinobots. Maybe Grimlock but I have plans for NemeSIs' own team. Is a dumb idea but is gonna be her own unique team nonetheless. :3
As for the Autobots. NemeSIs isn't going to announce her base to them as of this moment. Maybe when their base gets destroyed as that would give NemeSIs some room for negotiation.
Its the 'cybertronian' within, and considering her situation. She's trying to stack the deck to her favor before any kind of negotiations.
That's gonna get NemeSIs shot by the Autobots faster than Warpath could say Kablamo. You nuts? XD

I've been absolutely loving this. I wonder how the reaction of both factions is going to go when Nemesis is revealed to be Femme
Megatron: Optimus... Orion... is there something you need to talk to us about?
Optimus: We are in the middle of a war Megatron.
Megatron: Just because I want to slay you in glorious battle does not mean that I stop being a supportive friend, unlike SOME BOTS! You shouldn't need to feel like you need to repress this sort of thing around me. I will still want you dead regardless of if you're a mech or a femme or something else.
Ratchet: You should probably talk to somebody about this Optimus, even if it's not us. Not the humans though, they are weirdly repressed.
Megatron: Agreed, Soundwave is an excellent therapist and has never breached patient confidentiality, not even to me.
Optimus: ... It's weird when you two agree on things like this. Please stop.
