It has been a close to eight month and a half since the three friends had being turned into robots and joined the Autobots in their quest to find the Mini-Cons and stop the Decepticons. They had found a several new Mini-Con but they lost some to the Decepticons. Hot Shot and Red Alert had gained partners in the form of Jolt and Long Arm. The Autobots even gained a member in Smokescreen when they were searching for a new Mini-Con and in Scavenger, Jetfire, Blurr, and Sideswipe. Even the Decepticons have gained some new allies such as Thrust and Tidal Wave. The two sides even learned of vast mighty weapon such as the Star Saber and the Sky Boom Shield. For Rad, Carlos, and Alexis life as Autobots were good and they were getting comfortable in their new forms but they still didn't know why they became robots in the first place. What they did know that it may have been caused when they touched the Mini-Con but it didn't answer why it happened or how they could transform back to their human form. They tried to visit their parents as much as they can but the demands at the base and the awakening of new Mini-Cons made their visits to only half an hour and only once or twice a week. They would be lucky that they could stay at least half a day or more. For the Autobots they still known them as Blazer, Whirlwind, and Wingclip but began to suspect something was up since the trio would disappear for half an hour at time and these times would be random. Today they had disappeared again and Optimus was going to question them once they had returned and he didn't half to wait long. The trio returned by mid afternoon from their trip and Optimus was waiting for them.
"Blazer, Wingclip, Whirlwind, we need to talk," Optimus said when they entered.
"What's up, Optimus?" Wingclip asked.
"Me and the other Autobots have notice that you three tend to disappear for hours at a time and we were getting concerned," Optimus said, "Is there something you're not telling us?"
"Well, Optimus," Blazer began but had finding the right words. He looked at his friends but they couldn't help.
"Is something a matter, Blazer?" Optimus asked.
"Optimus, there is something we have been keeping something from you and the others," Blazer said, "We're not really transformers like you guys."
"What do you mean?" Optimus asked.
"We were once humans," Blazer said, "My real name is Rad, Wingclip is Carlos
And Whirlwind is Alexis. About eight month we found a Mini-con and when I grabbed I became Blazer and that is when we met you all. Carlos and Alexis found their own Mini-Cons and became Whirlwind and Wingclip."
"Why didn't you tell us the truth when we first met?" Optimus asked.
"We were hoping to figure out what happened before we told you," Rad said.
"And have you figured out what happened?" Optimus asked.
"No we haven't," Carlos said.
"I see," Optimus said, "Well I know we will find out what happened sooner or later."
