"Well guys, welcome to Dino Drive," Sari greeted the Autobots as they exited the Auto-Rover. "You guys wanna learn about earth's history? Well trust me when I say that this is the place to go. My dad decided that I should go on a field trip so I thought it would be a good idea to bring you guys."

The Autobots followed Sari and Tudor-bot through the gate and into the line. The line took roughly twenty minutes to get in, much to Bumblebee's annoyance. When they finally reached the turnstile, the Autobots identified themselves and passed through, minus Bulkhead who got stuck for another five minutes. When he finally got free, they first went to the "Jurassic Era" section.

"These dinosaurs are from the Jurassic Era, which means they are over two hundred million years old," Tudor-bot said, "We have learned most of what we know via studying their fossils, most of which had come from tar pits which allowed for excellent preservation of the bones.

"Scholars believe that despite their size, dinosaurs were capable of amazing speed and grace."

"So even dinosaurs are more graceful than most Autobots," Bumblebee laughed while pointing at Bulkhead "inconspicuously."

"Hey!" he retorted.

"What? This is payback for those 'short' comments."

"Those dinosaurs are pretty big," Optimus stared at the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"Yes they were very large, but they weren't known for being very smart," Tudor-bot continued, "Their brains were only roughly the size of walnuts. So compared to an XL-4 Processor, such as mine, their intellect would be no match." Bulkhead suddenly grew an interest in the pteranodon. He grabbed the branch it sat on and shook it.

"Does this one fly?!" he eagerly asked. The pteranodon screeched and fell off onto the triceratops, cutting its head off and sending the head flying into the T-Rex's chest. The T-Rex started to fall.

"Look out!" Optimus pushed the others out of the way just as the T-Rex fell on top of Tudor-bot. Bulkhead picked up Tudor-bot's head.

"Uhh, you okay?"

"No match XL-4 processor. No XL. No match processorrrrr," Tudor-bot's screen shut off.

"Uhh, sorry," Bulkhead apologized.

***************************************************************

"XL-4 processor? Primitive," Megatron looked at the Tudor-bot head, "It would appear my captor has the capabilities to manufacture, but nowhere near the scale I will require to build a new body for myself." The AllSpark energy had been enough to bring him to life and even give him minor telepathic and technopathic abilities, but had not mended his broken body. He decided to kill time by listening to the Tudor-bot's latest lesson for Sumdac's daughter. He telepathically sent his will into the machine. The head's screen turned on and displayed an image of a T-Rex, which looked just like the robotic one that was in the process of being rebuilt along with a triceratops and pteranodon.

"Dinosaurs were the largest creatures known to mankind. Their skin was leathery tough and built to take all kinds of punishment." The screen displayed an image of a T-Rex and stegosaur fighting.

"They also had evolved special enhancements, like this stegosaur's spike tail, to defend themselves against the enhancements of others. It was a constant cycle of keeping ahead of the competition to survive. And although they were large, they were also capable of amazing speed and grace." Megatron watched with keen interest as the T-Rex gained the upper-hand and sunk its teeth in the triceratops' neck.

"Scientists have been able to learn much from the fossils, especially those found in ancient tar pits. And although fossils offer information, they also gave way to fossil fuels which power many cars and trucks."

"I can't believe I programmed you with such simplistic information," Sumdac sighed as he entered the lab, "Everyone knows all of this."

"Oh, but I didn't."

"Who said that?!" Sumdac looked around the room until his gaze met Megatron's through the fogged glass, "You—you spoke?"

"Where am I?" Megatron asked, faking confusion.

"You're in my lab. I—I mean that—Well it's a long story."

"Seeing as I will not be going anywhere for a while. I believe I have the time for a long story."

"Well, years ago, I'd found you crash landed. I carried your body to a stasis pod to prevent any decomposition. I tried to see if I could bring you back, but the damage was too severe. I used a mind-scan to see what you knew, but mind-scans are a fairly new technology here, so I could only tap into certain parts. Well I suppose when I put it this way, I sound like a jerk."

"It's okay. Tell me, what did you learn?"

"Only your mechanical knowledge and some information about Cybertron. It sounds like a wonderful place by the way."

"And then what happened?"

"I sort of used your Cybertronian knowledge to help advance my technology. Soon enough I'd begun Sumdac Systems."

"I'm glad I could help. And what of my fellow Autobots?"

"You know the Autobots?"

"Oh we have quite a history."

"Well they had landed in Lake Erie. From what I know, they used stasis pods, like the one you're in, until one day, a monster attacked my tower. They told me that a piece of it got inside their ship causing them to wake up. They saved us from the monster. They would later save a burning building, stop the Decepticon Starscream, and even repair the city afterwards."

"Yes that does sound like my old friends. Ever heroic. Always doing everything in their power to stop the Decepticons."

"And after that they fought crime, and even saved my life from a man named Meltdown. I'd always wondered what they'd do to me if they found out what I'd done to you. But I suppose it's time to tell them."

"No! Think about it. What if you were to help me? Surely they would be upset if they found me in this state and you still used my knowledge to help yourself, but what if they found their old friend better than ever? if you revived me, I could help you explain your difficult situation to them. They would still be upset, but at least they would be more forgiving."

"I see. That is a good idea."

"But until then, I shall remain your secret and will lend a hand, so to speak," Megatron activated a pincer and tapped Sumdac on the shoulder to his amazement, "and help you rebuild those amazing creatures."
