Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers. Hasbro has that honor. However, if Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman read and like this, that could change (an event which I highly doubt).
A/N: Please forgive my rusty writing. It's been a while since I've written any fanfic, and I'm trying to emulate as much style as possible from the book adaptations (for consistency).
Transformers 3: Return to Cybertron
Prologue
I am Optimus Prime… I send this message to others of my kind…taking refuge among the stars…we are here…we are waiting…
Past the planets of Earth's solar system, beyond the asteroid belts and meteors of space, a single message was continuously looped in the hope that the lost and wayward Autobots of the universe would find their way to a new home.
But others were also hearing the message.
One such listener seemed dormant, floating through space as if on a whim. It was the size of a large asteroid, and to anyone less informed, that's all it was.
Yet the being was headed straight for the source of the message.
The planet Earth.
The Autobots.
Optimus Prime.
