As the two groups stood face to face with each other, confusion filled their minds. They had experienced many weird things in the past, but this was taking the next level. Meeting alternate versions of themselves from another universe was definitely not what the team was expecting. Team Prime from the other universe was thinking the same thing.

"So...You're saying that you're a version of me from an alternate universe?" Animated Optimus asked. "That is correct. I am you from another universe entirely." Prime Optimus said.

Animated Optimus was in total awe at his counterpart: he was like an older, more mature version of him. Nikita could see that things were getting a bit awkward between the two groups, so she stepped in to explain everything.

"Absolutely, Optimus. This is a version of you who's the leader of the entire Autobot faction in his universe." She explained.

This caught the whole space bridge crew by surprise, especially Animated Optimus. He never could've imagined himself as leader of the entire Autobots.

"So...I'm the leader of the whole Autobots in this other universe?" He asked. "Yup. This version of you leads the entire Autobot faction." Nikita said. "But he looks older than me." Animated Optimus said. "Yeah, I'd say he could be around the same age as your universe's Ultra Magnus." Nikita said.

Suddenly, the rest of Team Prime from the Prime universe came up from behind Prime Optimus to meet their counterparts from the Animated universe.

"I believe I should introduce my team to you. This is Team Prime." Prime Optimus said. "Wow! Look at them! They all look just like you guys." Sari said.

The two groups faced each other with clear suspicion. They didn't seem to trust each other very much, let alone alternate versions of them from other universes. But Prime Optimus seemed very trusting towards his younger counterpart, so Team Prime was just going to have to follow his example. Nikita decided to help the two groups get along with each other.

"Wow! I can't believe it! Another version of me from another universe." Animated Bulkhead said. "Yeah. I'm in total shock myself." Prime Bulkhead said. "I still can't believe the groundbridge opened up a portal to another universe." Arcee said. "Trust me, I feel the same way." Prowl said.

Animated Bumblebee took a closer look at his alternate self as he stood quietly. Prime Bumblebee was just as curious as him about their predicament. Animated Bumblebee noticed that Prime Bumblebee was taller than him, much to his jealousy.

"I couldn't help but notice you being much taller than me." Animated Bumblebee said. "Yeah. He's much taller than you, little buddy." Animated Bulkhead said.

Animated Bumblebee was a little upset over that comment but let it slide. Nikita came over to introduce them to their respective counterparts. She wanted the Autobots to get to know each other.

"Bee, Bulk. I'd like you to meet your alternate selves from the other universe." She said. "Hi! It's really nice to meet you...me...other me from another world." Animated Bulkhead said. "And it's really nice to meet you too, other me." Prime Bulkhead said. "{Hello! I'm the version of you from another universe.}" Prime Bumblebee beeped. "Uhh...Yeah, you too." Animated Bumblebee said awkwardly.

He couldn't make out what his counterpart was saying, he didn't talk normally like the others. Prime Bumblebee could only make beeping noises that Animated Bumblebee couldn't quite make out.

"So you must be the Ratchet in your universe." Animated Ratchet said. "That's right. I'm the version of you from my universe." Prime Ratchet said. "Then I believe you must be the medic for your crew." Animated Ratchet said. "Yes, you are correct. I'm a medical officer for my team." Prime Ratchet said.

While the two teams were getting acquainted with themselves, Prowl noticed that there doesn't seem to be a version of him from the other universe.

"Excuse me. But I don't see an alternate version of me from your universe." He said.

This was a huge surprise to the rest of his team. But Prime Optimus began to explain to Prowl why he hasn't seen a version of him in their team.

"Prowl. The reason that your counterpart isn't with us is because he's in outer space with Elita-1." He tells him.

This came as a surprise to Animated Optimus. He couldn't believe there was an alternate version of his old friend and fellow cadet who was still an Autobot. He had to admit to himself that his counterpart was quite lucky to still have an Elita-1 with him.

"I cannot believe that we've created a portal to an alternate universe! This is surely an extraordinary find." Issac said. "Oh. I should also introduce you to Professor Issac Sumdac. He's a scientist and an inventor." Nikita said. "Also, he has a daughter named Sari Sumdac."

Issac waved to Team Prime in a friendly and welcoming demeanor. Sari was really excited to see other versions of her friends from another universe. She looked forward to getting to know more about them.

"Hi! I'm Sari and I'm a close friend of the Autobots." She said.

Suddenly, some humans appeared from the portal to the Prime universe. They were Team Prime's human friends who wanted to see what was on the other side. Issac came down to meet them as Sari ran right next to him. Nikita went over to her friends in order to introduce them to the Sumdacs. She didn't want the situation to get anymore awkward than it already was.

"Jack, Miko, Raf. This is Professor Issac Sumdac and his daughter Sari." She said. "Greetings. It's a pleasure to meet you young children." Issac said. "Hi! I can't believe you're friends with Autobots too." Sari said.

Jack, Miko, and Raf were stunned over seeing an entirely different world from theirs. Jack had been to the Cybertron from his universe, but he had never seen an alternate universe before. Miko was in awe over visiting another universe, she wanted to take lots of photos with her cellphone. Raf was a little nervous over traveling to an unfamiliar world.

"Wow! I'm in another universe! This is totally awesome!" Miko exclaimed. "This feels so strange." Raf said. "{Don't worry, Raf. I'll be here to protect you.}" Prime Bumblebee beeped. "Thanks, Bee." Raf said.

Animated Bumblebee was surprised over the fact that an organic could understand his counterparts beeps. Issac, however, was fascinated. He believed that Raf had a gift.

"Fascinating! You're able to understand your universe's Bumblebee?" He asked. "Sure. I can understand everything Bee says." Raf said. "How are you able to do that?" Sari asked. "I have no idea. I just do." Raf said. "I think you're all going to get along just fine." Nikita said.

But it'll take awhile for the two Autobot groups to get to know each other. Nikita is also worried about what the Decepticons will do if they discover the two bridges made a portal to other dimensions. She worried what Megatron would do if he discovered that there are alternate universes.

"Hopefully that'll never happen, I hope." She thought to herself.

But she wasn't the only one concerned about the portals: Prime Optimus also had the same fears as hers. He was concerned about what the Megatron of his world will do to the Animated universe.

"Not to be a killjoy, but shouldn't we be concerned about the Decepticons finding out about this?" Animated Bulkhead asked. "He's right. What if they figure out that there are alternate universes out here?" Arcee asked. "Which is why we must keep this between ourselves, just for now until we figure out what's going on." Prime Ratchet said.

The two sides agreed not to tell anyone about the portals, at least until they figure out how this all happened.
