An idea that's been on my brain for a while now has been that the Jackhammer is sitting all on its lonesome, on a mountainside somewhere. Also, there's a truce and Wheeljack didn't pick up the phone or at least send some acknowledgement that he knows about it, which is a cause enough for some alarm because gosh, it'd sure look awkward on the Bots part if that crazy, stupid Wrecker went off and attacked a Con outpost somewhere, so someone better follow up on that.
There are a few ways for this scenario to play out. It could be that maybe someone spotted the Jackhammer on a satellite or something and it's been brought to Fowler's attention/Bot base noticed it directly. Or someone actually tried contacting Wheeljack and realizes that he's fallen off the map. (Oh no, did MECH get him somehow?)
That leads to a) either a pair of Autobots being dispatched to go figure out what has happened to him or b) a Bot and Con pair, if folks are keen to use the truce to get some cross faction interactions going (though I can imagine that would be an awkward board room meeting 'wait, you want to send a Con after the Wrecker...?' 'Maybe MECH's involved.' 'Alright, fine. But this is a dumb idea.').
I'm really quite good to go either way, if Bot players have been looking for something unusual to do with a fellow Bot player or if folks want cross faction shenanigans. It's been at least 5-6 days and it's unlikely you'll find much, just a mystery to ponder over and some blasted up landscape to admire. Also, the Jackhammer to retrieve. That's the most important thing. I'd really like it back in Autobot hands and regret being so careless to leave it lying around like that. You'll earn Wheeljack's begrudging gratitude for this, for whatever that is worth (nothing, if you're a Con).
