Transformers Prime: A New Adventure.

Chapter 7: More Fangirls and Fanboys.

(First person POV...)

I'll bet you're wondering how I am.

And I win all bets.

I'm Isabel Pastor.

Alongside my friends Vanesa Aranda, Lina Villalba, Marina Diez, Lola Albacete, Zoe Valle, Judith Coll, Maria Del Mar Gonzalez, Lucas Racionero, Cristian Rabadán, Adan Baztán, Ander Sabater, Albert Mínguez, Adria Riba, Elias Moliner, Ramon Toledo, Pau Obrero, Victor Colina, Jean-Jacques D'Aboville, Nathan Levasseur, Xavier Devillers, Enzo Bougie, Jean-Louis Bonnel, Jean-Jacques Léger, Michel Baudet, Pierre Massé, Hervé Robillard, Éloi Vasseur, Lola Bozonnet, Violaine Charbonneau, Chloé Jacquemin, Lydia Jacquemoud, Charlène Beauvau, Danielle Delsarte, Arlette About, Gaby Bazalgette, Ghislaine Boulle, Paule Thévenet, Urraca Galbraith, and Pierina Galeucia, I woke up in a dimming room with small lights – small in the sense that with the exceptions of data pads and light to medium boxes, not much else can be seen.

And for my friends, they look like Grounders and Seekers of different types and colors that can only be made possible in either fanfictions or in fanmade drawings on Deviant Art.

But of course, Urraca looks like a femme that can turn into a white grosbeak and Pierina looks like she can manipulate temperatures, as shown by her armor decorated in snowflake and flame tattoos, similar to Starscream in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.

Suddenly, all of them started to awaken.

Paul asks, "Ough, my head. What... what happened?"

One freak out later, we came up with new names for ourselves: myself/Flameblaster, Vanesa/Gearbreaker, Lina/Riftwing, Marina/Circuitstrike, Lola/Magnetcoder, Zoe/Irondreamer, Judith/Brightfinder, Maria Del Mar/Roadcoder, Lucas/Rapidblaster, Cristian/Soundflyer, Adan/Supercone, Ander/Battle Spot, Albert/Slugbug, Adria/Victory Aid, Elias/Chopblades, Ramon/Blitzdome, Pau/Hardstreaker, Victor/Streetwarp, Jean/Sea Aid, Nathan/Tipdance, Xavier/Birdthroat, Enzo/Battleclaw, Jean-Louis/Street-Tron, Jean-Jacques/Holewise, Michel/Omegabox, Pierre/Bigload, Hervé/Victoryside, Éloi/Slingstick, Lola/Denfenrunner, Violaine/Blowbrow, Chloé/Wingpick, Lydia/Buzzjack, Charlène/Joysaur, Danielle/Metro Off, Arlette/Ground Cloud, Gaby/Needleway, Ghislaine/Squeezestreaker, Paule/Powerdash, Urraca/White Grosbeak, and Pierina/Lavender Coldfire.

We came out of this room and found ourselves in a forest.

We weren't exactly sure what forest we were in, but it's best if we don't know.

Then, we heard a voice shout, "Who are you?!"

We turned to see Arcee, Cliffjumper, Tailgate, Bumblebee, Brown Mark, Bulkhead, and Optimus Prime standing there. But while his teammates had their blasters pointed at us, Optimus had one blaster and one Energon blade deployed.

Powerdash remarks, "Ah, Autobots. I'd say it's a pleasure, but I don't think it's appropriate."

Arcee scoffs, "Yeah, you got that right. Were you expecting 'Cons?"

Needleway answers, "Actually, no, we were hoping to run into you guys."

Arcee scoffs again as she asks Buzzjack, "Yeah right. What's with the red optic on your friend with snowflakes and flames on her armor?"

Lavender points out, "I was sparked with Cyber-Heterochromia."

Arcee's optics widened in surprise.

If I guessed right, it's likely that she'd heard about this condition, even including the human version from Blow Saber, but she didn't think that a Cybertronian these days would be sparked decades ago with this condition.

Optimus then steps forward and questions, "You are not Decepticons, then?"

Squeezestreaker points out as well, "If we were, we'd have red optics, dark colored paint jobs, digits ending in claws, sharp points on some of our armors, and telltale Decepticon branded symbols on our frames."

Bulkhead's optics widened, and if I had to guess, based on what I saw of the rebooted Transformers Prime series back in 2069, he realized that Wheelkill said the exact same thing when Carter Robinson gave the main members of Team Prime – the originals – an educational lesson on how to recognize in an instant and over time Autobots, Neutrals, Decepticons, Star Seekers, Maximals, Predacons, Junkions, techno-organics in robot mode, and even Cybertronians who were once humans.

Optimus questions again, "Are you formerly humans from a universe where my people are fiction?"

We nodded.

We could see that the others were surprised.

Everyone put away their weapons and we could see that they looked a bit ashamed for being unhealthily cautious.

Then Brown Mark asks, "How come your white-armored friend looks like she could transform into a bird?"

White Grosbeak answers, "Maybe because a bird is my beast mode."

Brown Mark and Bumblebee looked at each other before looking back at us.

Optimus then says, "Welcome to our universe and to Team Prime."

I stepped forward and we shook servos.

Soon, we introduced ourselves, and White Grosbeak actually demonstrated that, as her name implies, she does indeed transform into a white-colored grosbeak bird.

But of course, Lavender Coldfire explained that she had the ability to manipulate hot and cold temperatures and that she needs help practicing her powers because she's scared of accidentally killing someone outside of a Vehicon Trooper.

This gave Arcee, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead a reason to be worried; it wasn't uncommon to encounter a Neutral was scared of murdering someone accidentally, but it'd been so long since the last time any of Optimus' teammates had helped such a Neutral mellow out a bit.

After we returned to base, Ratchet asks, "Optimus, who are these forty Cybertronians? I don't think I've seen these mechs and femmes anywhere before."

White Grosbeak remarks, "Am I correct in guessing that, as a medic on Cybertron, you took the time to study the amount of armor mass on mechs and femmes?"

Ratchet answers with slight pride, "Of course I did, and it took less than a cyber-month. Although, your armored build is more commonly found on mechs like Optimus, Ultra Magnus, or on Motormaster."

White Grosbeak sneers as she replies, "Motormaster's pathetic; he doesn't care about rules of the road or about civilian safety. Optimus, on the other hand, would gladly slow down so a civilian, Cybertronian or human, can easily cross a street."

Optimus replies before he explains, "I sure would if it meant a fellow Cybertronian or if a human would be safe to cross the street to their destination. We found these mechs and femmes in the forest where you found those unknown spark signatures mingled with human cell phone signals. They were also humans from the Quadwal cluster before being transformatted."

Bulkhead then asks, "So, White Grosbeak, if you weren't trained for battle, why need so much armor?"

Arcee adds, "I'm curious, too. I mean, I don't have as much armor as everyone else and I was trained by the greatest combat instructors the Autobot army had to offer during the war."

White Grosbeak retorts before admitting, "I've been heavily trained in American Karate, Shaolin Kung-Fu, Japanese Ninjitsu, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for 30 years of my life. But don't get me wrong; I'm well aware that some human forms of martial arts won't be enough to take on some Vehicon Troopers or even someone other than Soundwave, if one were to be unfortunate enough to be in said Decepticon's crosshairs without realizing it until it's too late."

Optimus states, "You appear to be wise for your age."

White Grosbeak explains, "In our universe, my parents raised me to be a martial artist if I ever need my training for any form of self-defense or if I encounter someone being attacked by a robber. And they also trained me in other martial art styles that the United States military and the other country militaries around the world use for training their soldiers so they can be prepared when in unarmed combat situations in a war zone."

Ratchet then asks, "So, how were you transformatted from humans to Cybertronians?"

White Grosbeak answers, "Neither of us knows for sure. But even if there was a way to send us home, it's out of the question. The people of our universe would start getting suspicious about why real life Transformers were spotted walking in a suburban neighborhood. Simply because, to our universe's knowledge, the Cybertronian race only exists as characters of fiction and as a franchise of toys for children to play with."

Lavender then said, "And if you think about it, even if there wasn't a way to transform Cybertronians like us back into humans, previous humans who were transformatted by this point in time were probably warped here by a harmonic frequency that proved powerful enough to open a gateway between the dimensional and chronal barriers not unlike a Ground Bridge portal so as to allow not just time travel, but also interdimensional travel."

At everyone's confused expressions, Buzzjack stated, "It's kind of hard to thoroughly explain to those who aren't scientists like Ratchet."

Ratchet nods to add his point.

Flameblaster then questions, "So, Ratchet, any theories on why Grosbeak's frame is more of a mech build for a femme?"

Ratchet replies, "It is possible that she is a Triple Changer."

Brown Mark states, "Considering the fact that Triple Changers had dissociative personality disorder, bouts of insanity, and tended to turn on even their teammates all to the point where all Triple Changers were executed, we'd have to be careful."

Lavender points out, "The disadvantages of being Triple Changers might be the case for most of them, but that wasn't the case for Sandstorm, Broadside, and Springer."

Bulkhead questions, "Who?"

I explained, "Springer is a Triple Changer who served in the Wreckers as a lieutenant. He transforms into an armored racecar and a helicopter without a rotor."

Bulkhead replies, "Oh, now I remember."

Arcee questions, "But who are Sandstorm and Broadside?"

Wingpick explains as well, "Broadside is an Omega Supreme-sized heavily armored and heavily armed Triple Changer who transforms into an Energon transport tanker vehicle that can also fly. And Sandstorm is a Triple Changer and occasional Wrecker who transforms into a sand rail dune buggy and an assault helicopter."

I asked, "Optimus, do you remember either of those three Triple Changers?"

Optimus answers, "I only remember Springer and Sandstorm, but I don't remember ever seeing Broadside."

Denfenrunner states, "Sorry to hear that. But at least you now know he exists in this universe."

Soon enough, we were introduced to the rest of the new and improved Autobot army so far.

We decided to be prepared for any further arrivals before the start of the show begins with none other than Darkness Rising Part 1.

And who was even Ratchet to refuse that proposal?

The End.
