All Autobots were extremely worried about their commander and friend, they had no idea what the blast could have done to Prime and were wondering where he had went. When out of the blue they heard the smallest little chirp which appeared to come from the direction of the crater.
"Hold on a nanoclick, did you guys hear that?" Smokescreen questioned the others, finally walking to the crater.
"Yeah, I hear it too" Bumblebee beeped while following into the crater with all others were following to look within the massive crater. What they saw was just simply adorable. A sparkling with a overgrown head, big beautiful blue optics and a chubby body with blue and red stripes all over. All things that embodied a sparkling.
"Uh, what are we gonna tell Ratchet?"Bulkhead asked overlooking the sparkling covered in dirt with the relic not to far away.

When entering the base all of the Autobots had guilty stricken faces, Magnus was behind the others as he held ever active Optimus who was just trying to get out of his arms. Ratchet was soon becoming concerned due to the fact that he had yet to see the towering mech.
"Ratchet we have to tell you something," Magnus said with his arm holding the sparkling around his back.
"Magnus, where is Optimus?" Ratchet was growing upset and started folding his arms.
"That's what I must explain to you, you see he's right here." Right after he stated this he moved his arm to show the fidgety sparkling out of all that participated in the battle he was the only one that could respond to the ill tempered Ratchet.
"Magnus is that him?" He was in pure shock, Optimus who was a grown mech was now in basic terms little again. Magnus and the others soon proceeded to tell Ratchet what had occurred during the battle, all while he checked the bubbling sparkling for any serious injuries which all turned out to be a few scratches and the checkup Optimus started to chirp and beep once again.
"Oh,yes little one you are cute, yes you are."All the others were astonished to find Ratchet rubbing his ear fennels and baby talking.
"Well from the readings the little one has no idea he is Optimus prime, also this is quite a young sparkling so he may need to bond with one of us." "Jack, Miko and Raf aren't here being that June picked them up so, that would allow us to get used to having a sparkling around".
Ratchet was pleased with that due to not having to listen to three teens asking loads of questions.
"Question ratchet, what are we gonna name him, it's not like we can go around calling him little one all the time?" Wheeljack spoke up as he started warming up to the sparkling by rubbing his chin as he ended up giving a few giggles."hmm,OrionPax look at Uncle Ratchet!"as soon as stated Orion reacted and looked at him with wide optics."well OrionPax obviously works"Arcee said stating the obvious.
"Uncle ratchet, really?" Bulkhead asked not knowing the true relations between the Autobots. "Yes I am optimus's uncle on his sire's side and knew the little one since young." "What, no way!" Bulk exclaimed.
Arcee soon began to explain everything "Bulk I'm his younger cousin, Magnus is a little younger brother,Bee is his youngest brother with Ratchet his uncle." Let's just say she used hand signals to explain her point.
"Now Orion you must be hungry, how about you Magnus feed him to see if you two can bond before he gets spark pain."Ratchet said this with unknown concern for the wellbeing of his nephew.
Magnus understood and responded with "On it".Ratchet waited for Magnus and Orion to be positioned correctly and handed him the makeshift Bottle with low grade energon.
"Here you go." Ratchet said as he placed the makeshift bottle into his hand."Well you should know how to give the sparkling his food you've been dealt this duty before". Ratchet stated straightforwardly.
"Yes, though this seems strange to me he would've fed me the energon not the other way around." It was obvious the Magnus was uncomfortable with this and ratchet was starting to wonder who would possibly be able to bond with the little one. As the night passed on Ratchet continued to ponder on the situation.
