AN: Another update. You guys should love me. Many have asked what the parings are; well to me it seems like it will be Sam and many or all of the Cybertronians. I hope this is acceptable. No promises yet.

Warnings: None that I know of. Mistakes probably.

Chapter 2

Barricade growled as the yellow bug took off with the odd human. He had planned to go in there and torture the fleshly until he gave up the glasses, but touching the human was... paradise. Fortunately the bug didn't damage him too badly so he transformed into his now dented police cruiser disguise and picked up Frenzy. They had to get that strange squishy.

The Camaro stopped at a hill that over looked the city as four objects entered the atmosphere. The human stared in amazement, but the alien only had optics for the boy. "You really meant angels falling from the heavens," Sam whispered. The arrival of the other Autobots on the planet comes in the form of crashing meteors, causing general panic and hysteria everywhere that they land. Each Autobot quickly finds a vehicle to scan and transform into so that they are not discovered. While the boy watched the team fall to Earth, the yellow 'bot transformed into its Camaro mode and opened the door. Hesitantly the boy climbed in and then they were off to go meet the claimed 'fallen angels'.

On the way to the meeting, Sam sat curled up in the passenger seat. "You know what I don't understand? Why, if you're supposed to be, like, this super-advanced robot, why do you transform back into this piece-of-crap Camaro?" Screeching to a stop, the disguised alien opened the passenger door and dumped the human out. Standing up the human yelled apologies and mussed his hair as the 1976 Camaro drove away. Of course it wouldn't go too far, determined to keep the human close. But if the human was unhappy with his alternate form then He would change it. Driving down the road a ways the not-a-car saw a new 2007 Camaro and quickly scanned it. Pleased with himself he drove back to pick up his young charge.

It seems he thought he actually thought he left him as he was a bit further down the road than where he left him. Stopping next to him he opened the door. Stunned the human just stared at the newer car, seeing no driver he frowned, but climbed it. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that." The car only buckled the kid up and continued it's drive. "I mean... I am really sorry. I..." The radio clicked on:

'Shut up when I'm talking to you

Shut up, Shut up, Shut up

Shut up when I'm talking to you'

Sam's mouth clicked shut and he squirmed in the seat, the car engine revved up a notch which went unnoticed by the human. Not much later in the evening, the two arrive at a meeting location which has been set up for the arriving Autobot soldiers. Sam stood in amazement as four vehicles drive to their location and then all five transform into their other forms. The semi approaches and addresses Sam, "Are you Samuel James Witwicky, descendent of Archibald Witwicky?"

Sam, still in a measure of shock mumbles under his breath "Oh course they would know my name," he then warily responds to the Autobot's query, "Yeah."

"My name is Optimus Prime. We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron," the semi introduces himself.

The rescue vehicle pipes in, "But you can call us Autobots for short."

Optimus Prime takes this opportunity to introduce the remainder of the Autobots, "My first lieutenant. Designation, Jazz."

The Autobot that was a silver car did a fancy flip and relaxed back on a junk car when his introduction is made saying, "This looks like a cool place to kick it."

Hearing three of them speaking rather good English, one of which seems to be well versed in slang, Sam asks Optimus, "What is that? How did he learn to talk like that?"

"We've learned Earth's languages through the World Wide Web," Optimus explains then continues with the introductions, "My weapons specialist, Ironhide."

The large black truck Autobot winds up his weapons, pointing them at the teen and spitting out a quote, "You feeling lucky, punk?"

"Easy, Ironhide," Optimus scolds.

Ironhide steps back with the appearance of being slightly chagrined and whines, "Just kidding. I just wanted to show him my cannons." This response surprisingly gets a small laugh out of Sam while Optimus just shakes his head and moves on. Bumblebee takes notice of this. "Our medical officer, Ratchet."

At this the rescue vehicle, Ratchet, speaks up again while pointing to Sam, "My sensors indicate the boy is very nervous."

Sam looks down with embarrassment and rubs his neck, "Yeah there are giant robots talking to me. I sure hope this is a really strange dream and that I'll wake up soon," Sam thinks to himself.

Finally, Optimus introduces a dancing Camaro that he has already met but had yet to learn the name of, "You already know your guardian, Bumblebee."

Approaching his 'car', Sam speaks directly to him, "Bumblebee, right?"

'Check on the rep - Yep, second to none' the yellow 'bot plays on his radio

"So you're my guardian, huh?"

Ratchet aims a laser at Bumblebee and explains to the teen, "His vocal processors were damaged in battle. I'm still working on them."

With the introductions apparently over, Sam turns back to Optimus and questions him, "Why are you here?"

The big red and blue Autobot responds with, "We are here looking for the Allspark. And we must find it before Megatron."

Sam's forehead crinkles in confusion "Mega- what?"

Optimus presses on his helmet and activates a hologram to show them their history. "Our planet was once a powerful empire, peaceful and just, until we were betrayed by Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. All who defied them were destroyed. Our war finally consumed the planet, and the All Spark was lost to the stars. Megatron followed it to Earth, where Captain Witwicky found him."

Sam interrupts, "My grandfather," he states with an incredulous look on his face.

Optimus continues with a nod of his head. "It was an accident that intertwined our fates. Megatron crash-landed before he could retrieve the Cube. Your grandfather accidentally activated his navigation system. The coordinates to the Cube's location on Earth were imprinted on his glasses."

With the history story over, Sam asks, "How'd you know about his glasses?"

"Ebay," Optimus responds in a serious tone.

"Oh, of course, eBay," Sam laughs humorlessly.

Mistaking the tone of amusement as real amusement and not appreciating it, Ratchet chimes in to enforce the seriousness of the situation that they have found themselves in. "If the Decepticons find the Allspark, they will use its power to transform Earth's machines and build a new army."

Picking up at the end of Ratchet's statement, Optimus adds, "And the human race will be extinguished. Sam Witwicky, you hold the key to Earth's survival."

"Sure hope I still have those glasses," Sam muses to himself.

"The boy is strange. He is radiating small amounts of Allspark energy. I don't think it would be a good idea to get him involved in our war," Ratchet tells his leader over their comms.

"We might not really have a choice. His fate has been intertwined with ours for awhile if he radiates Allspark energy. I am concerned as to why Bumblebee is very attentive to the boy." Optimus turns to look at where said 'bot kept his optics focused on the boy as Ironhide tried showing off his cannons again. The boy leaned over and placed his small hand on Ironhide's armor to get a better look at the cannon and suddenly Ironhide's gaze snaps to where the boy is touching him.

"It might be nothing. Let's just get those glasses." Ratchet acknowledged.

Speaking out loud so the human knows what's happening, Optimus says, "Autobots, time to roll out." They transform and Ironhide moves along side the boy so he may climb in, but instead he gets in Bumblebee. They drive off to the boy's house and getting out Sam tells them to stay where they are and he will get the glasses and be back in five minutes. Normally it wouldn't be a problem for them to wait five earth minutes, but they picked up a Decepticon signal next to the house and there was superstitious activity from the humans maybe eight to ten minutes from their location.

So they rushed the boy, trying to hurry him along. Instead of helping like they were trying to do, they seemed only to frustrate the boy. Optimus himself make the boy distressed by accidentally stepping on the water sculpture. Ironhide mentally started to kick himself when he threatened the boy's dog. When Ratchet ran into the power lines making the house dark, Optimus tried helping by shining a light into the boy's room. This only stressed the boy more and finally they backed off. The humans were here and they didn't want to draw more attention to themselves then necessary.
