The cool, refreshing morning spring air in the great plains almost took Jack off guard. He never went outside of Nevada, except for that one mission with Arcee. That day was awesome. I actually destroyed a cybertronian starship! Jack thought as he stepped into the tall-ish grass of a plain.

"You sure the coordinates are right? We are literally in the middle of nowhere." Arcee asked Ratchet over the comm system.

"Yes, I am sure. It should be arriving in at least an hour about 2 clicks east from your location." Said Ratchet, in a slightly annoyed tone.

"I'm still not convinced that these coordinates are right. It seems like whatever or whoever is landing here is doing it intentionally." Said Arcee.

"I know, it seems a little suspicious, but we have to at least know what is landing so we know if it is an ally or an enemy, or neither." Said Ratchet, the last part in a cold tone. Arcee sighed,

"Looks like we actually need to be here. Hop on, we can get there faster." Said Arcee as she transformed into a blue-colored sports motorcycle. I love it when she does that. Wait, what? Jack was confused on what he just thought, but shrugged it off and hopped on. Arcee felt… odd. She felt warm when Jack got on. She didn't know what was happening, but knew she needed to get to the coordinates. However, when she tried to drive through the grass, it got caught in her tires and she flipped. Note to self: don't drive in tall grass. Thought Arcee as she got up. Jack wasn't hurt, either, so they decided to walk to the coordinates.

By the time they got there, it was about mid-afternoon.

"The object is entering high orbit, it should be a few minutes before it lands." Says Ratchet as he is looking at the terminal. The signature increased rapidly, and the object began slowing down, but going to the same coordinates.

"Arcee, tell me once it comes into visual range. It's slowing down, but heading to the same coordinates."

"Roger that, Ratchet." Says Arcee. Suddenly, a low rumble could be heard and felt. Arcee and Jack look up and see a large boxy-looking object flying almost exactly where the coordinates are.

"Ratchet, seems like your coordinates were actually accurate." Arcee said with a smirk. "Are you saying that I'm bad at calculations? You have no idea how many times I was told to calculate the trajectories of decepticon artillery shells during the war. Those things are hard to track." Said Ratchet, annoyed.

"Anyway, do you have visual contact with the object?"

"You mean the starship?" Said Arcee.

"What?! A starship! Why didn't we get any energon readings?!" Ratchet said, unaware that his comms were on.

"There is literally no one in the galaxy other than us that has the technology for actual space travel!" Said Ratchet, frustrated.

Optimus, overhearing the conversation, asked, "Arcee, what is the object?"

"It's some sort of craft from what I can tell. It just landed without a scratch. It doesn't look human or cybertronian." Optimus was a bit skeptical, but remained curious on what was in it.

"Arcee, find out what you can about our potential visitors. Take Jack with you, in case you need backup."

"Roger."

Arcee said into the radio.

"Jack, we're going in. Stay behind me, low and close."

"You got it." Said Jack as they started to 'sneak' up to the starship.

Jack was able to keep up with Arcee easily. Arcee ducked down really low and stopped, observing the craft. They were about 400 meters away, but even from that view it looked huge. It looked like it is at least 500 meters long, and was glowing, like it had an energy shield on it. Not only that, it looked like it was carrying something, as something else was coming off of it. Suddenly, the craft started to take off, seeming to just lift off the ground like something was lifting it.

Arcee and Jack gasped as they saw what the craft was covering. It looked to be a giant robot, just standing there.

Arcee radioed silently, "Optimus, the craft dropped something off. Looks like a large robot, and I mean large."

Optimus was surprised, but didn't show it.

"Arcee, what does it look like?"

"It's large, is blue and grey, and seems to have eyes, but I'm not sure. What should I do?"

Optimus thought for a moment.

"Maybe Jack could get a closer look."

"But we aren't even sure if it's hostile. Sending Jack over there could get him killed!" Arcee said in a surprisingly angry tone.

"It might not be the safest, but it is the best choice we have. Jack, make sure that it doesn't see you, and maintain radio contact."

"Roger that, Optimus."

Jack started to sneak up a bit more, then Arcee said something that even Arcee was confused about.

"Come back to me in one piece, ok?"

"Umm, sure. hehe" Jack chuckled nervously.

What was that about? thought Jack as he got closer to the object. He was about 310 meters away when the robot started moving.

"Jack to base, the robot is moving now. I don't know whether it saw me."

"Remain calm, it probably doesn't even know you're there," Optimus said in a reassuring tone.

Suddenly, two beams of light came out from its left arm, forming a large, flashing white cube 250 meters away. Jack was about to run when he realized what was happening: the cube was peeling away from a shape. The shape of a large building. Hmm. What is it doing? Jack thought. Once it peeled off, it showed a blue and grey building about the size of a football field. It was pretty tall, and appeared to have arms on the front of the tower, and it had a large platform. The building started to build something too, this time, with a shape. It was shaped like a tank-like vehicle. Jack froze. Wait, a tank!? Why would a robot build a building just to build a tank? Just as he thought that, the robot turned in their direction. Oh shit, I think it sees us. Arcee noticed, and tried to quietly tell Jack to get back to safety. But by the time she turned on her radio, the robot was already walking pretty fast towards Jacks general location. "Jack, RUN!"

Arcee shouted as the robot continued to head towards Jack. Jack got up and started running when a voice came from nowhere.

"Wait, come back. I'm not going to hurt you." Jack and Arcee both froze.

Did that robot just talk? Said Jack as he slowly turned around. Arcee was just as confused and terrified as Jack was.

"Are you the natives of this planet?" Jack and Arcee were still stunned by what was happening. After a moment, Jack spoke out.

"My name is Jack, I am a human. My friend over there is Arcee, she is cybertronian." The robot seemed to pause for a bit.

"Wait, Jack. You said that you are human?"

Confused, Jack said yes. Then, it started building a large structure. It looked like a mix between a crane and an elevator. It was a little taller than the robot, but it looks like its built to be that way. After it was built, the robot went under it, and one of the most horrifying things (to arcee at least) that happened that day was the robots head was literally taken off of its body. The head was carried down to the ground, and something unexpected happened. Something hissed, and a teenager stepped out. What the fuck? Both Jack and Arcee thought as the human slowly got out of the head, which was at least twice as big as Jack.

"Uhh, hi." Said the kid.
