About in two Earth weeks the Autobots met again with the information of the new recruites they wanted to be the crews new members. Red Alert run closely through the three different member's files before accepted them. The CMO had already earlier informed the crew, that soon they would have reinforcements but he couldn't tell anything more about the newcomers exept what they were specialized in and what their occupation was. While sitting in the Rec. room the blue and white Autobot was again checking through the files wanting to make sure he hadn't missed anything important that he should know about. You could never be too careful. The only thing Red Alert didn't like was that he couldn't talk to the new recruites face to face before they would arrive to the Earth.

As Red Alert was slowly consuming his high grade energon the base's alarms started to ring causing the poor mech to drop his drink. Were the Decepticons attacking and his end near, the blue and white mech thought horrified when he heard running steps from the corridor. Cleaning up the mess he had caused when dropping his drink, Red Alert headed towards the Launching deck for it was closer than the Main room.

"Sideswipe report! What is going on here?"

It took irritatingly long before the young mech answered back to CMO's during the Lamborghini had already imagine in his mainframe how the Decepticons currently captured the whole base.

"Don't scorch your circuits Red. We're having visitors from home" came soon the calming voice of Sideswipe, which hinted the young mech to be more than interested of these visitors. Knowing this information however didn't calm down always suspicious Red Alert who was prepareing himself for the worst. Still a few corridor and then left. Of course! That's what this all was about. The visitors had to be those three new recruites that all of them had been waiting. Although Red had to admit he hadn't been expecting them this soon. Why they were already here? After walking to the end of the last corridor, the mech finally made it the Launching deck only noticing that almost the whole crew was already there. The Medical Officer marched straight to Jetfire, looking very displeased, and stopped in front the bigger mech.

"This... this is all your doing isn't it?"

The white mech's impression revealed him right away as he waved his hands in defense for the smaller mech.

"Don't get mad Red. I just thought that sooner that other pilot would be here the better. For your sake and mine."

Long silence filled the room when Red Alert tried to sink in what he just heard. Right now was Jetfire suggesting something that gave the Lambo right to shoot the SIC in the head? Opening his mouth in attempt to say his objection, the blue and white bot was interrupted by Blurr's intervention.

"I have done the same. I contacted the new recruite long ago and he promised to come ASAP."

Deep sigh and Red Alert settled for shakeing his head. All this happened and no-one bothered to tell him, or maybe he wasn't the right Autobot that anyone could come and tell the latest gossips on the base? While wondering by himself were this world was going to, the CMO gave all his attention to the new Autobot that would come through that gate.

The mech was considerably slender structured than Jetfire, that could lead to deduce the Autobot's would also be meant for faster movement. His wings opened up to sides and most of the pilot's chest armor consisted of glass that worked as cockpit in his alt. mode. A black visor covered the mech's optics highlighting his white skin further, and the Autobots couldn't help noticing the newcomer's cannons that were on both of his shoulders. As dominant colors worked navy blue, black and blood-red that worked as attention. Noticing slightly confused expression on pilot's face, Optimus aproached him offering his hand as greeting.

"I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. I welcome you to our base here on planet Earth."

The navy blue mech stared at the hand of his commander as if not wanting to touch it, but soon reached out and shaked hands allowing a little smile to be seen on his otherwise serious face.

"Stormstrike, ready on duty sir."

Before anyone made it to stop him, Jetfire wrapped his arm around the new Autobot's shoulders capturing him. Terrified and a little obnoxious yelp came out of Stormstrike's mouth while he first stared at the hand and then the white mech.

"Haven't seen you in a while Stormy! How have you been flying back home?"

SIC seemed to know the newcomer quite well, at least if you didn't ask anyone else's opinion, and started long and never ending talk. Stormstrike whose attention was still at the hand around him, started to poke his commander's fingers farther one by one until the mech was able the shake the entire hand off. A little protesting whine was heard from Jetfire because of Stormstrike's cold treatment, but the navy blue pilot ignored him.

"Don't you ever do that... again" he emphasized for the white mech pointing him threateningly with his finger only making Jetfire to poke his helmet as Stormstrike sighed deeply for SIC's mature behaviour.

Soon the alarms started to ring again informing that someone else was also coming through the gate. Stormstrike was interested to know who these other two recruites were and focused on staring the gate, harrying at the same time quietly approaching Jetfire.

The second newcomer was a lot shorter than Sideswipe, and Red Alert had to wonder were all scouts designed to be so small. More accurate study revealed that the mech had only two wheels that located behind bot's legs. Aparently his alt. mode would be some kind of a two-wheeled vehicle. Unlike Stomstrike, the small mech went straight to the crew starting cheery conversation with them. You could almost hear the name Swifthide from among the endless chat, until the topic changed to totally different one. The mech had a silver colored face and very noticeable violet optics, which were studying other Autobots curiously. After learning enough for now, Swifthide made his way to Optimus Prime, Sideswipe right behind him. Obviously the two mechs were going to stick together like a chestplate and backplate. Red Alert had feared this and as if it wasn't enough to tolerate Jetfires mindless humor, now CMO would have his hands full with these two too.

"I'm Optimus Prime, commander of the Autobots. It's nice to have a new friend with such full of energy" red and blue mech greeted much smaller mech who responded joyfully to the handshake.

"Swifthide at your service. I have never been on Earth before and I'm sorry to tell that I haven't been able to get to know the files about this place." The small mech grabbed Sideswipes hand and pulled him next to him giving Optimus a wide grin. "But luckily Sideswipe here has promised to be my guide at the base and outside of it."

The Autobot in question glanced the smaller mech suprised, which meant he hadn't have a clue what the new one had been talking about. Soon he wrapped his arm around Swifthide though and turned to his superior.

"That's right! You can leave everything to me sir. I'll personally guarantee that Swifthide will adapt here."

Seemingly satisfied to the situation, Optimus nodded and headed towards Red Alert who was standing a bit further observing the newcomers.

"What do you think now, when you have met them?" Optimus asked when he stepped beside the CMO. The mech didn't answer right away, but kept watching Stormstrike and Swifthide. There was still one recruit missing, but Red Alert was sure that the meck in question would appear eventually. He turned to show Optimus the information about the new comers he had gathered from his datapad and told him some of his plans he would like to carry out if Prime would give his approval to him. The Autobot commander eyed the information quite some time before he gave the pad back to the Lambo and was just about to comment them when the alert of the dock went on once again.

Nearly as high as Stormstrike and almost white Autobot stepped out from the portal. He had a bright red Autobot logo decorating his chestplate and many orange details around his body. There was also some gray, and in his dark brownish face there were two luminous golden optics, which were studying the new enviroment. Suddenly Stormstrike pushed himself past the crew and Optimus Prime and punched the arrival directly to the face. This caused the mech to take few steps back and some suprised yells were heard from among the crew. The dark seeker was glaring the white mech who rubbed his now aching chin.

"Nice to see you too" he said and delivered a powerful kick to the seekers stomach getting him to slide backwards. The rest of the crew hadn't the slightest idea should they interfere in this obviously private fight, but they were sure that someone would have to do something soon. The seeker had stood up and was now getting closer the other mech his fists threateningly clenched. Jetfire was just prepeared to go between them when the both mechs started laughing.

"Sorry about that. I just wanted to make sure you hadn't lost you touch" the dark mech said smirking. Then Swifthide rushed through other Autobots and suprised everyone by giving the white mech a big hug who in turn tapped him on the shoulder.

When Optimus was positive that the fight had ended he approached the three and offered his hand to the white one. "Optimus Prime, Commander of the Autobots. Apparently you three already know each other?" The white mech shook his superiors hand and glanced his comrades.

"My name is Whitespeed and to answer that question of yours, I met Stormstrike and Swifthide at the Cybertron long time ago. We have worked together during many missions, but because of some reasons we were separated. I'm sure you'll be satisfied on our teamwork."

Being very pleased to the explanation Optimus nodded to Whitespeed and returned to the CMO. They talked a while until they both left and all this time Blurr had observed the situation from where he had been standing. He had laughed to himself when he had watched Stormstrike and Swifthide getting familiar with the rest of the crew. He had to admit that he hadn't expected the seeker to strike Whitespeed just like that, out of the blue though. But he was proud how his former student had responded this just as violently. Blurr got tired of standing still and made his way towards his fellow autobot and as soon as the white mech noticed him he was greeted with friendly smile. They had fought too at the Cybertron, but this was before Whitespeed had met his other comrades.

"So, you found your way here. I hope you have read the documents about this place, but I'll tell you this Whitespeed. The information in those files are nowhere near the truth."

Blurr would have liked to take his student to a short ride outside of the base, to show him how different this place was compared to the Cybertron. But he knew that Whitespeed hadn't scanned an alt. mode to himself yet and that he must have been exhausted from the trip, so he desided to leave it later.

"I'm aware of that and I can't wait to get to see how different this place actually is. I'm most interested about all the living organisms of this planet" the white mech said smiling, but soon yawned. Poor bot had been so nervous about his transfer to the Earth that he hadn't been able to have a decent recharge for a while. Both Swifthide and Stormstrike were tired too and the smaller bot was yawning big time. Blurr saw this and motioned the three of them to follow. He was going to show them their quarters and after that he would go carry out his shift. Inside his mainframe he was wondering what would happen in the near future. Optimus had sent the children home when the reqruits would arrive because these three had never seen or even heard about humans. The leader wanted to make sure that there wouldn't be any dangerous situations, before he would tell the arrivals how to deal with humans. The idea of Stormstrike meeting the children caused Blurr to grin so widely that he was just grateful of his faceplate. 'Finally there would be some action.'
