Optimus and I were standing in the old storage room, which now looked like an average bedroom for any Cybertronian.

"Dino, this will be your room if you choose to stay on base. You may return with Rose if you wish." Optimus said. I was caught slightly off guard, realizing that things didn't necessarily need to change. But I'm not human; I need to stay with my real family. I sighed and rubbed my neck.

"I think I'll stay here. I am one of you now." I smiled at him. He nodded in agreement.

"There's one other matter of importance. New soldiers are coming in and they need to be introduced to us. I need you to explain everything while in human form. Will you do it?"

"Sure, I don't know how they'll react to a 10 yr. old explaining this sort of stuff but I'll take a crack at it." I shrugged as I said this. He shook his head slightly.

"You're still Raia at heart." He stated. He left the room, leaving me behind to check it out. "By the way, the recruits will be here in 1 hr. Good luck." I grumbled under my breath after he said that. I have only an hour to plan what I'm going to say? Ugh, I have a feeling this is going to be a train wreck.

**Hour later**

I waited anxiously for it to be time for me to introduce the bots. Right now, Lennox was explaining a couple things to them. Finally he told them how someone else would be introducing the autobots; that they needed to show me a lot of respect, because I know what I'm talking about. Aw, thanks Lennox.

"Raia, come on out." Lennox said. I entered the room and everyone stared at me surprised.

"What's a kid doing here?" a random soldier asked. I eyed the man and held the gaze.

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that." I said. That seemed to surprise most. Behind me were the autobots in alt form. I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck. "So yeah, Lennox introduced me as Raia. That's not technically my real name but we'll get to that later. Yes, the autobots are tall. Yes, they are armed. No, they will not hurt you. Questions so far?" everyone seemed surprised by my forwardness. A girl raised her hand so I gave her a quick nod.

"What are their personalities like?" she asked. Hm, smart question for a human.

"They're a lot like humans; none of them are exactly alike. A couple are cranks." That earned a few snickers and revving engines from certain mechs. "But one thing they all have in common is that they care deeply for their friends. And they know how to forgive your past…no matter how bad." I whispered that last part. I shook myself mentally. "Any more questions?" no one answered. "Good; now where to start? I was asked to introduce the leader last. I guess I should introduce the one closest to me." I walked up to Mirage. I patted his hood. "This is Mirage. He may seem a little…rude to some humans but he's ok once you get to know him." Mirage didn't transform. "Mirage, that's your cue." A couple more snickers came from the crowd. I glared at them to have them silenced. Finally Mirage transformed and stood tall. Everyone in the crowd gawked at him in amazement. "Took ya long enough." I said jokingly. He rolled his optics. I moved onto Jazz. "Oh, and don't even think about threatening them!" I warned Mirage. I leaned against Jazz slightly. "Most of you may not know this, but Jazz was killed back in Mission City. He was ripped in half by none other than Megatron himself." Everyone looked slightly taken back by this. "But he's…err…parked in front of you today. I have a sixth sense and was able to help his spirit return to his body; WHICH our amazing medic fixed. You'll meet him later on. So this is Jazz." Jazz transformed and did a backflip (like he did in the movie).

"'Sup?" he said. Some people murmured to each other but still stared at him. I continued down the line of autobots until it was finally time to introduce Optimus.

"Optimus Prime, Optimus for short, is the last of the Primes. He is also our leader. He is one of the kindest hearted mechs here. Even though you can't see his emotions sometimes, he's always worried more about the safety of his team and humanity than himself. He's a really good friend and I'm grateful that he gave me a second chance." That part came out of my mouth without me thinking. I quickly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Optimus Prime." Optimus transformed and stood tall. He smiled down at us.

"There is one last femme you have yet to meet. She is standing here today." Optimus said. Everyone's eyes searched the room for another vehicle. I looked up at Mirage.

"Go ahead, sis." He said to me. That caught everyone's attention.

"Wait, did he just say you're his sister?" a soldier asked. I bit my lip slightly and stepped forward.

"My history is a complicated one. I was forced to become a decepticon; then when my parents died I was somehow turned human. This form you see right now, is a false one. This is who I really am." I said. Everyone gawked up at me as I transformed into my bipedal mode. "My name is Dino. I am an autobot and…" I turned to Mirage. "Mirage's sister." Hands shot up and I groaned. "I'm guessing I have to answer all the questions." I said to Optimus, who nodded in reply.

"Have you killed autobots before?" one soldier asked. I rubbed my neck.

"This is going to be a long day." I mumbled.

I'm not going into detail with the questioning! AND I'M NOT MAKING RAIA/DINO AND JAZZ FALL IN LOVE!
