Protect
Anyone who knew a single fragging thing about the Autobots knew that they would go to the ends of the universe and back to keep Samuel James Witwicky safe.
They had sworn to protect all humans, yes, but there was something different in the way they defended him. Almost as if he was one of them, as if, they truly loved him.
Whenever anyone brought this situation up with the alien's liaison, he would always assert that this was, in fact, the truth. No one who had witnessed them in action could deny that claim.
And while the Autobots protected the kid in battle, he did a hell of a job protecting them in every political debate.
Woe to any human that tried to disparage the robots, and woe to any being, no matter what species, that tried to harm their Sam.
Oh, wow, I'm halfway done! Thanks for all the reviews, you guys are all amazing!
