chapter 12
Things at the base were pretty quiet right now. "Not a signal in days," Ironhide said tossing a ball up in the air and catching it.
"This is boring," Cyclonus said.
"Yes and the Conquerdriods have been laying low too," Demolisher commented.
"Yes so their isn't much to do right now," Skywarp said.
"So guys how about we do something?' Lightfire asked.
"Do what might I ask?" Thundercracker asked incredulously.
"How about you guys check out some of earth since we have some down time," Lightfire said.
"That is not a bad idea," Optimus said.
"So where should we go?" Jetfire asked.
"I have an idea where we can go," Noah said.
"Really where?" Megatron asked.
"India, there is much to see there, and I have pen pal there," Noah said.
"Okay then let's check it out." Optimus said.
They warped to India. "There is so much to see here," Noah said.
"Look at all the plants and animals," Jetfire commented.
"Yes there is a great deal here in India, it is also is the second most populated country on this planet," Lightfire said.
"Wow," Hot Rod said.
"Hey guys I found something it's an escape pod of Autobot origin, and there is no bot inside and it looks like it's been here for years," Ironhide said.
"That means there is an Autobot here in India," Noah said.
"We better find this Autobot and see if he is will to join us," Optimus said.
They started to search. Then they saw a car drive by and go into a village and transformed there. "We found the Autobot," Hot Rod said.
"Let's go talk to him," Ironhide said.
They came up to the Autobot. "Wow it's been a long time since I have seen other Autobots," the bot said. "My name is Gears," he said.
"Nice to meet you Gears, I am Hot Rod and this is Ironhide," Hot Rod said.
"Nice to meet you both," Gears said.
Optimus came up to them. "Hello Gears it has been a long time," Optimus said.
"Optimus, it was sometime ago when I crashed here in India, I was travelling on my ship and then I ran into trouble. A meteor shower destroyed my ship and I had to launch in my escape pod and I crashed on this rock and I befriended the people in this village about 30 years ago." Gears explained.
"So Gears noticed any activity of beings known as Conquerdriods?" Optimus asked.
"I have heard radio chatter about them, and I heard the chatter of our team up with the Decepticons, I am ready to join you," Gears said.
"That is good news," Optimus said.
"Oh I can't forget my pet," Gears said.
"Pet?' Hot shot asked.
"This is my pet Captain Bali," Gears said holding up a large Tegu lizard.
"That's a big lizard," Red alert said.
"Yep he's good friends with the other animals here," Gears said.
"Wow a black and white Tegu," Lightfire said coming up. "I thought they only lived in south America," she said.
"Yes I took a trip to South America with a rich family I know from here and I found his egg and took it home and hatched it. Now he's my pet," Gears explained.
Gears arrived at the base and got everything set up. He was getting use to things at the base. The other bots had to get use to him too. Gears tended to be bit of a complainer at times and a bit of a weakling.
"Some people and bots take longer to get to know," Lightfire explained to the bots.
Eventually Gears proved himself helpful when he stopped the droids from taking the minicon while on a mission in Nebraska.
After that Gears was officially welcomed to the team.
