A/N: I know some will read this and say that is not how Red Alert is. He is a paranoid bot with way too much time on his hand (I've heard him described as such) but this was written to describe him as how I see him. And my way of explaining why he acts the way he does. So I hope you enjoy.

The Watcher
War was a dangerous time. Death and destruction were around every corner, both on and off the battlefield. During war time there were few safe places, and few knew that better then Red Alert.
As security director for Autobot head quarters (and all other Autobot bases) it was his job not only to prevent the Decepticons from destroying the bases, but also to think of all the ways that Decepticons could get into the base and destroy it. It was his and his team's job to keep the Autobot bases safe from harm.
For in each base lived hundreds of Autobots, mechs and femmes who fought for Prime, for Cybertron, for what they believed in. In these bases they played, they slept, they laughted, they healed, they celebrated, they loved, they mourned and they lived. They felt safe in these bases, safe to live and love. And the one mech and his team that made all this possible was Red Alert and the Security teams of the Autobot base.
He watches them as they love, as they hurt, as they play…
As they morn lost friends and as they meet lovers in dark halls, as they heal, as they celebrate, as they play pranks on each other (but a great deal of it on Red Alert himself)…
He watches over them.
In this war, there are few safe places where Autobots can just be regular bots… even if it is only for a few hours, Red Alert knows that better then anyone.
He knows how the enemy will get in, how the enemy could get around the system…
He knows how vulnerable the bases are…
And he worries…
He worried so much and so often that he fritzes himself out….
And no matter what anyone said… he would keep doing it if it kept them safe.
He worries for them… hopes they'll be ok….
He can't do much for them on the battlefield where all the security plans he made could have too many faults, but here at the base… he would do everything in his power and beyond to keep them safe.
He kepts the bases safe so that all Autobots would always have a home to come back to, a home where they felt safe to play pranks, to laugh, to cry, to love, and to live.
He would make the base he worked in and every base that was under his influence safe… so that his friends were safe. So that their home during this war was safe.
