Harry almost screamed when the huge golden being in front of him reached for him. He was so used to touch hurting in some way or another it didn't even dawn on him that the being might not hurt him.
When the crooning noise registered- that low toned protective sound- Harry couldn't help it as he instinctively relaxed (and unknowingly the signal he had released in his distress cut out). He near melted into the utter warmth of the golden being, relaxing as he picked up the almost-heartbeat that was instead a humming sound. (He would come to know that it was called a 'spark-beat'.)
Harry looked up into the eyes of the being that gleamed like golden holy fire, and he could see the fighter in this one's soul.
A fighter like him. Someone who had suffered and fought for everything he had gotten with his own hands. Who had had to fight to keep those things. A kindred soul.
Harry crooned back at the being, hesitant but trusting he would be safe in this being's hands as his instincts hummed happily.
He felt it as the golden being tightened his grip on Harry slightly, the white of his eyes shining brightly for a moment into a bonfire before returning to the embers that gleamed at him.

Cybertronian frames were numerous and had many differences.
This was fact.
Another fact was that every Cybertronian frame- no matter the 'gender' of the frame in question- had a Sparkling Chamber. The only difference between a mech and femme in regards to this particular Chamber was that a femme's chamber was capable of sheltering a spark as it formed. It was only after the 'birth' of the spark that a femme's Sparkling Chamber became the equivalent of a mech's. A mech's Sparkling Chamber could not support a new-spark as it formed as a femme's could- instead it acted as a safe place to hold the little ones (a bit like a kangaroo and its pouch actually) when they were so young and vulnerable.
O~O~O~
Sunstreaker crooned comfortingly at the sparkling in his servos as he opened his Sparkling Chamber- located in his chassis, beside his Spark Chamber for sparkling comfort- and placed the little one inside.
He needed to get to base.

Harry should have been panicking.
He knew he should have been, since the being had placed him inside its chest, but he wasn't. He felt sheltered and safe, and the humming noise that seemed to be the being's heartbeat was much more audible and close in this place. His instincts- the instincts of his Animagus form- also hummed with contented safety.
Everything felt alright. He had never felt so protected in his life.
Nothing was wrong and so he had no reason to panic.
