Chapter 1

It was a dark night outside of Tranquility when a new arrival landed and transformed. The mech was covered with old and infected battle scars. His frame was shaking a bit as he looked for an alt mode until a black old Trans-Am drove by on the near by highway. After scanning it and transforming he went into stasis lock cause of how weak he was.

The next morning at the Lennox's household, a young teenage girl happily headed to the near by shed. This girl was Annabelle, now grown into quite a pretty young teenager of sixteen. She opened the human-sized door and peeked inside. "Ironhide, are you awake?" she called out softly. She didn't want to wake the old Autobot if he was in recharge.

Suddenly there was movement from within. "Good morning Annabelle." The old warrior greeted her. Ironhide had been the Lennoxes' guardian for a long time since Annabelle was just a baby. The girl looked up to him as a second father.

Annabelle smiled happily up at him. "Hey Ironhide."

Ironhide lowers his hand so the girl can climb up into it. Once Annabelle was sitting in his hand, Ironhide started to walk. "You sound happy today Annabelle."

"Well today is the day Daddy said he's going to get me my first car." Annabelle said happily.

"Oh yeah." Ironhide knew that Will had promised her if she passed her driving test then he would get her a car. He was still a bit sad that he couldn't be her first car. Both of his charges said Annabelle was still too young to be driving around with someone as big as Ironhide was.

"Is something wrong, Ironhide?" Annabelle asked.

"It's nothing."

"It's not nothing." Annabelle said "I know you better than that. You still want to be my first car."

"Well I am your guardian. I should be your first car too."

"Ironhide, you can't when you and Daddy have a job to do with the Decepticons still out there. You can't be my first car and be in NEST too."

"I know."

Annabelle hugged his finger. "You will always be my guardian, Ironhide." Ironhide smiled a bit at her.

In a big car body shop out of town, a tow-truck drove up with a black Trans-Am. A much older Mikeala walked up and leaned into the driver side window. "Whatcha got?" she asked the driver.

"Cops found this Trans-Am sitting on the side of the road." The driver spoke "They checked it out and it doesn't belong to anyone and no dealership anywhere reported one missing."

"Oh okay. Just leave it here."

"Sure thing Mrs. Witwicky."

The tow-truck soon left, leaving the Trans-Am behind. "Is it safe to come out?" a voice from behind one of the parked cars near by asked.

Mikeala sighed. "Sure thing, Wheelie." She said to the once 'Con as the little blue mech came out of his hiding spot "Go get Bumblebee. I need his help getting this Trans-Am in the shop to be checked over."

"Aw why can't I help?"

"Wheelie," she warned "You are too small for this kind of job. Now go now."

"Fine." With that the little mech transformed into his remote control monster truck form and drove off. Mikeala sighed as she shook her head. She then started to look at the Trans-Am for a bit.

Back at the Lennoxes, Will came out of the house and looked around for his daughter. He soon spies her with Ironhide. "Anne, time for breakfast!" he called out.

"Okay, be right there Daddy!" Ironhide lowered his hand so Annabelle could get off. "See you after breakfast, Ironhide." She said with a smile. Ironhide smiled back and watched her head back to the house. Once Annabelle and Will got inside, Ironhide continue to do his patrol of the farm.
