A/N Just to make it very, very clear for everyone, the story you are currently reading is not, I repeat, is not the official sequel to 'So Believe'. This is more of a 'behind the scenes' story.

Hehehe… now the real fun shall begin. Enjoy this chapter, everyone!

Ch. 5 Welcome to Earth

"What's the big rush?" Sideswipe asked me as I ran towards the Rec room. We had just arrived at the base, after he picked me up from school.

"Just get everyone else, ok?" I replied. He just shook his head and contacted everyone by comlink.

As we entered the Rec room, I said, "Give me a boost." Sideswipe bent down to pick me up, and let me perch on his shoulder. "Now, turn the TV on to channel four."

The giant TV flickered to life, and settled on a news station. "Why do you want this on?"

"Just wait."

"Sideswipe, why did you need everyone so urgently?" a voice came from behind us. Sideswipe turned and I saw Optimus coming towards us. Behind him, Ratchet, Jazz, and Sunstreaker followed.

Sides shook his head, "Not me. Paris wanted you guys here. She said it was important."

I rolled my eyes, "Because it is important. Just watch the TV."

"…And now we go to Palm Springs with Michelle."

"Thanks Alison. I'm on the scene here in Palm Springs as authorities investigate what seems to have been a meteor shower. Only, the strange thing is, there are no meteors to be found. Large craters are scattered across this patch of land behind me. Authorities say that a sonic boom was heard as the meteors entered our atmosphere earlier today, but the only evidence of anything actually coming down is the craters that were made."

"Now, Michelle, wasn't there a similar series of events like this in Nevada a few months ago?"

"Yes, in fact, we have received many calls stating that…"

"See?" I said pointing to the TV. "It has to be another group of Transformers!"

"But are they 'Cons or 'Bots?" Jazz asked.

"If they were Decepticons," Ratchet said, "They would've attacked the first human populated area."

"And if they're Autobots, they'll be here soon," Optimus concluded. "Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, and Paris, go outside and watch for them." The three of us nodded and went outside.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Sunstreaker saw something. "Hey, I see some flashing lights on that road!"

I squinted my eyes to try and see the tiny lights. Sure enough, I saw red and blue flashing lights on top of a blank and white car. That's a police car…

At the sound of jets, the three of us looked up. Above us was a pair of identical jets, only differing in color. One was blue and the other orange. They circled around the base, and didn't stop until a group of cars entered the base.

Optimus and the others had come outside to join us by this time. I stared in awe at the fact that in front of me was a group of alien robots. I'm probably the first human they'll meet…cool!

As the four cars pulled up in front of us the two jets landed behind them. As quickly as they had all stopped, they all transformed into their robot modes.

My eyes widened and a big grin appeared on my face. No matter how many times I had seen it, giant robots transforming was soo cool.

Optimus stepped closer to the robot that had been a police car. "It is good to see you again Prowl," he said.

Prowl nodded, "Good to be here, sir."

I saw the twins' faces brighten up. "Prowler!" they both shouted. I laughed as I saw the look on Prowl's face change to sheer horror at the sight of the twins. But when he saw me, he cocked his head to the side a bit.

"You have an organic?" he asked.

Optimus nodded, "She is the newest member of our team."

I smiled and waved nervously as Prowl came over to me. "I am Prowl," he said. "What is your designation?"

"Paris."

"And you are a member of the dominant species of this planet, correct?"

"Uh, yeah?"

Prowl just nodded before stepping back next to Prime.

I leaned a bit towards Sideswipe's head, "What does he do?"

"Prowl is Optimus' second-in-command. He comes up with the strategies and all that other technical stuff. He can't really handle anything irrational," Sideswipe explained.

I nodded, "Ok… now what about everyone else?" As I said this, I looked around at the new 'Bots and saw them talking to amongst themselves.

"That one is Wheeljack," Sideswipe pointed to a white transformer with red and green accents. The bottom half of his face was covered with a mask, and he had earfins that were blinking a light blue. "He's an inventor and makes most of our weapons. He's pretty good at it, too."

"Although," Sunstreaker put in, "Never go into his lab."

"Why?"

"Most of his stuff blows up, whether it's supposed to or not." Sunstreaker took a look at the group of new 'Bots. "See the light blue one?"

I glanced over and saw the 'bot Sunstreaker had been referring to. This one was light blue, with a dark blue accent on his helm. It kinda reminded me of a Spartan helmet. I also remembered his alt mode looking very similar to the Mach 5.

"That's Blurr, the fastest 'bot there is. The only problem is that he's also the fastest talker there is." Sunstreaker paused, thinking, before continuing, "He also tends to ramble."

"Psh, no sweat," I said. "My cousin always talks fast and slurs her words. I'm good at figuring out what she's saying."

My eyes traveled to the blue and white transformer. He was a bit to the side of the group, taking in the surroundings. As I looked closer, I noticed that he had golden optics instead of a shade of blue like the others. "Who's that?" I asked.

"Mirage," Sunstreaker stated. "He used to be a noblemech back on Cybertron. Thinks he's better than the rest of us." Sunstreaker crossed his arms and looked away from Mirage.

"Sideswipe, a better description, please?"

"Well, Mirage is part of our Special Op's team, along with Jazz and Bumblebee. He can turn invisible and alter his appearance, so he makes a good spy."

My eyes widened a bit, "Cool."

"And the last two," Sideswipe continued, "are the Jettwins, Jetstorm and Jetfire."

Looking at them, it was easy to tell who was who. Jetstorm was blue, with some yellow accents. He also had a visor, much like Jazz's. Jetfire was the orange and cream colored one, and had a pair of goggles on his head.

"As of right now, they are the only two left of our aerial team."

I looked back over to the newcomers and smiled, "Well, let's go over and welcome them to Earth."

…and actual interaction with the new 'Bots shall begin in the next chapter! The reason I didn't have the new 'bots introduce themselves is that I didn't want to confuse people who weren't familiar with all of them. Yeah, I mostly did it for my friend who has a very limited knowledge of Transformers (and did I say that you were stupid? No, so don't complain about that!) I wanted to give her description of each of the new 'bots, so she might actually remember who's who.

The Jettwins… well, I don't think that they'll have their 'element' powers. Maybe 'Jack will make them similar weapons in the future? I can't say for sure.

And now that we have all of these 'Bots to torture- I mean, play with, I can do much more

Go crazy, everyone. Seriously, bring on the requests!
