Disclosure : I do not own Transformers Prime, it's characters, the storyline, or anything of the sort. I am simply borrowing it to place a piece of my mind in it. I only own my OC, and I will, in a sense, carry the one. I give full credit to those who have created this wonderful series, and Hasbro. Read and Review my loves!

Holy crap.
There were giant robots that turned into cars. …. Or cars that turned into giant robots… That were fighting underneath the bridge.
I thought it was blessed cool, however, the two boys that were watching it looked less impressed.
There was a blue one with pink highlights who was fighting two purple-ish ones. She was holding her ground, however it was easily foreseen that she was to be overpowered.
She flipped back away from a string of shots, but wasn't successful in avoiding them. One made direct contact with her chest. She froze, falling to the ground onto her back. Just as she hit the ground, tires screeched on the bridge overhead. I quietly stepped out from the cover of my pipe to look up.
A yellow car drove off the bridge, shattering as it fell to the ground. The massive robot then landed on one of the purple's shoulders, crushing him to the ground. Without missing the beat, the he raised his right hand, and with all his might, punched the second hard on the left cheek. He crashed to the ground, the victor stepping back as the blue one stood.
A cringe worthy crunch echoed through the underpass, the yellow bot doing just that as he looked under his foot.
The younger boy's remote car that he always drove around down here sat, smushed all to pieces.
"It's okay, really," the young one smiled at the giant robot, who seemed to be relieved.
But only for half a second as a blast knocked him off his feet to the ground.
I watched in horror as the two purple ones advanced on the yellow. He tried to get backup, but was shoved back down with a shove by one of the others' foot. He rolled over to stare at the weapons trained on him. I stepped forward, about to charge them. I wasn't sure what I was to do but something-
"Leave him alone!"
Everything and everyone froze, staring at the younger boy. His face eventually changed from anger to it being laced with fear. "Please?" He chuckled nervously.
One of the purples advanced on the two boys who were now cowering. The yellow bot moved to chase after him, but a strong shove to the shoulder by the tip of the others' weapon made him halt, staring after the two with wide eyes.
"Over here!" I shouted, my voice hoarse and rough as I waved the boys over.
I scampered back into the pipe, reaching out to lift them behind me. Once the oldest was in, we ran towards the back. A giant, metal claw reached towards us, the boys running in front of me. A loud crash echoed around us, the claw disappearing out of sight. A string of even more crashes, then a familiar yellow face appeared at the end of the pipe, eyes gazing worriedly at us.
"Thanks," the youngest smiled, earning a final nod from the yellow who stood again, more crashes being heard as he moved away.
"Don't look back," the eldest smiled, leading the both of us away.
"What did we just see?" The younger one looked at me.
"I'm not sure,"
"And I don't want to find out!"
Since my drain pipe was a walk aways, I decided to bunk down in the alleyway by jack and Raf's school. At least for now. It was only a day since the crazy robot fight, and I couldn't stop thinking about it. Were there more? Were they here to save or hurt us?
Well, I didn't think that the yellow and blue one were here to hurt us. Are there more like them? More of the purple ones!?
"You know, I get it I get. The first rule about Robot fight club is you don't talk about robot fight club,"
I peeked my head around the dumpster I was scavenging in. I saw Jack with his back to me facing a blue motorcycle.
Which shattered and turned into the blue and pink robot from last night.
"Look," she demanded, kneeling down close to him. "Jack, is it? Your personal safety is exactly why Optimus Prime has requested your presence."
"Optimus Prime?"
"Yes, our leader. He wants to speak with you, Raf, and the other girl who was with you guys."
"I don't even know who she is!" Jack protested. "She was some homeless living in the tunnel."
I cringed as he stated my situation out loud. I chose this moment to step around the dump.
"Actually, I'm here," I smiled at them, their eyes meeting me. "I'll gladly go," I walked to stand beside Jack.
"Dude!" A voice from around the corner exclaimed. "Go with!"
We turned back around to see another teenager smiling broadly at Jack.
"Scrap…." The bot muttered, looking between the three of us.
Jack and Miko, the new teenager who joined us, rode on Arcee, the motorcycle. Raf and I rode in Bumblebee, the yellow and black car from the yesterday.
"So, where do you live?" Raf asked, innocently smiling at me. Bumblebee chirped and whizzed from the radio in front of us.
"Remember that pipe we climbed into the yesterday?" Raf nodded. "That's where I sleep."
"Oh…" His face lowered into his lap, looking disappointedly at his hands.
"Its alright," I smiled softly, pulling him into a cautious hug. "I make do with what I've got," Bee chirped, and the seat belt around my chest tightened softly. I laughed at the car, who I knew I was going to learn to love.
We skipped across a three way stop into a dirt path. We could hear Jack hollering behind us, but before I started to worry, the walls split apart to reveal a tall, wide metal pathway inside of the mountain. Raf and I gazed out the windows as Bumblebee slowed entering what seemed to be a hangar.
"Woa, coool." Raf gazed out the open window. I looked out with him, seeing another giant robot in front of what seemed to be a giant computer. This one was red and white, and looked down at the approaching cars with a grumpy look. He had what seemed to be a heartbeat on the outside of his arm.
Thundering footsteps was heard, and in front of us was a giant, green bot. He was bigger than the other three by far ! Miko stared at him in astonishment.
We climbed out of our rides as they transformed behind us. We stared around at the circle that was forming around us.
"I thought there were two…" The red and white one almost sneered, standing behind the green one.
"Haven't you heard?" Arcee asked, straightening her back. "Humans multiply."
Miko took advantage in the breaking of the silence. She scampered to the feet of the giant green one.
"Who are you?" She demanded.
"Bulkhead.." He answered, studying the girl.
Miko then started rambling off one thousand questions in 3 seconds. Even I couldn't keep up with all she was saying.
"Uh…" Was all the giant could answer with.
"So, if you're robots, who made you?" Raf asked innocently.
The red and white on scoffed. "Puh-lease."
The four of us found the ground rumbling beneath our steps with yet another set of foot steps. These ones mastered even those of the green one's. We flipped around, staring at the largest bot of them all. He was red and blue in color, and I couldn't help but notice the aura he carried. It seemed the other four respected him to a grand extent, and his form screamed of leadership.
"We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron. Also known, as Autobots."
A hand flew to my chest as it rumbled with the depth of his voice. A deep grand baritone with a richness that made my knees weak. I gazed up at him, searching for his eyes but barely seeing the blue glow.
"Why are you here?" Jack asked him.
"To protect your planet from the decepticons."
"The jokers who tried to bump us off last night?" Arcee filled in providing who.
"Okay….." Jack hesitated, turning back to the magnificent bot. "Why are they here?"
He kneeled down, bringing his chest even closer to Jack. I felt jealousy rise into my throat at how close he got to the boy, but I shoved it aside. If you're curious, ask. I scolded myself.
"A fair question, Jack." my chest rumbled with his voice again. "In part, because our planet is uninhabitable, ravaged by centuries of civil war."
"Why were you fighting a war?" Raf asked softly, adjusting the backpack he was carrying nervously. I rested a hand on his shoulder in support.
"Foremost, over the control of our world's supply of energon, the fuel and lifeblood of all autobots, and decepticons alike. The combat was fierce, and endured for centuries…"
I listened to his story, do not get me wrong. I love history, especially when I didn't already know what was being told. But that voice…. I just couldn't get over it.
But then -
Miko forced a yawn, fiddling with her hair. "Is there going to be a quiz?" she asked rudely. I shock her a look which she ignored.
"So, what does Megatron - or any of this - have to do with us?" Jack asked. I shrugged, fair question.
"Megatron has not been seen or heard from in some time, but if his return is imminent, as I fear, it could be catastrophic." He stood back to his towering height, the rest of the autobots crowding around him. "And since you know of our existence, I fear, as of last night, the decepticons know of yours."
"I got it, if we spot any strange vehicles, call 911," Jack mocked.
"Don't you get it?" I finally spoke up, cringing as my voice hoarsed over from not using it, and dehydration. "911 cannot help us against beings centuries older than us,"
"I'm with the lady over here," Miko chirped, skipping to my side. "The bots can protect us better than any stupid police force.
"Well, can, we go home now?" Jack shot us a look, glancing up at the bot for an answer.
"Are you insane!? I'm living a dream here in bot - swana. And I will not allow you or anyone else to shatter it."
"It is best that the four of you remain under our watch," the bot rumbled once more, his voice lined in a tone that I couldn't ignore. "At least, until we can determine our enemies' intentions."
The red and white bot then turned to the larger one.
"Optimus," he muttered. "With all due respect, the human children are in as much danger here than anywhere else."
"Children?" Jack asked, his voice lined with an offensive tone.
"You are a child," I elbowed him gently, watching as the boy's eyes darkened a bit.
"They have no protected shell," the bot continued, staring at the larger one with a desperate tone. If they get underfoot they will go … squish."
I shuddered, glancing at the big man's feet. Ouch.
"Then, for the time being Ratchet, we must watch where we step,"
I stifled a laugh, watching Ratchet's amused tone.
What did he say the larger one's name was? Optimus…
An alarm rang through the base loudly, a green light flashing with it.
"What's that?" Jack asked as we watched Ratchet turn to the computer system he was monitoring earlier.
Bumblebee turned to us and let off a string of wirrs and buzzes/
"Proximity sensor," Raf explained. "Someone's up top,"
As Ratchet pulled up a view of the roof, I leaned into Raf. "Teach me to speak Bumblebee," I muttered to him, earning an amused look from the bot in question.
"It's Agent Fowler," Ratchet muttered, regret lined in his voice.
"I thought we were the only one's who knew of you," Jack stammered.
"Special Agent Fowler is our designated liason to the outside world." Optimus turned to us, dread lined in his eyes.
"I take it we don't like him," I croaked out, shooting an amused look at Optimus.
He simply ignored it, but made eye contact with me while he spoke. "He tends to only visit when there are … issues. It may be best if you do not meet him at this time,"
The four of us ran across the room, trying to find the best place to hide. We heard an elevator move down, coming to a halt. The door slid open, and the faint a steps of a man echoed above us.
"Prime!"
