Transformers Prime: No Autobots Are Idiots

by bigvic150

In this story, we take a new direction in which Optimus Prime's Lieutenant Commander, some of the other transformatted humans, and the Nightowl Trines rely on their similarly different origins, including Smokeedge being a Cybertronian first, a Quadwal Cluster human second, and back again, to ensure that the Autobots make smarter choices. Enjoy this as best as possible!

Transformers Prime: No Autobots Are Idiots.

Chapter 21: First Contact.

(Transformers Prime Universe #192,394,596,203,495,867,019,183, April 12th, 1994, Smokeedge's POV...)

It was sixteen years ago that we first encountered the first ever Aligned continuity versions of Samuel James Witwicky, Ronald Witwicky, Judy Witwicky, Mikaela Banes, and all of the other human allies of the Autobots in the Transformers live action film franchise of movies, video games, and comic books.

It was an ordinary day taking a Decepticon Energon mine, and a large one at that.

I was dealing with the Decepticon Brute Class Vehicons.

Yeah, you heard me right; apparently, Megatron got the "brilliant" idea to merge old designs of his original generic troops with his leftover Vehicon Troopers, the Troopers of which were now fifty-nine million, eight hundred and seventy-six thousand, five hundred and forty-three in total.

I had just gotten done with killing the last Brute Vehicon when suddenly, a small camera flash caught my attention.

I turned to the left, and I saw Sam Witwicky, his parents, Mikaela, her mother Rebecca, Miles Lancaster, Cade Yeager, Natalie Yeager, Tessa Yeager, Shane Dyson, Lucas Flannery, Trent DeMarco, Leo Spitz, Sharsky, Fassbinder, Jimmy Carmichael, Izabella Moreno, Charlotte Watson, Agent Jack Burns, Guillermo Gutierrez, Elena Wallace, Noah Diaz, Kris Diaz, the members of Sector Seven which includes the ones who are supposed to be dead at this point of time in the future, and the members of NEST looking at us, filming us, photographing us, etc.

As soon as the last Vehicon Trooper was dead, the others got to work on mining the Energon, and I notified Optimus through our Cybertronic commander code about the situation.

I then said into my commlink, "Ratchet, we have a situation, and we need to notify General Bryce and Agent Fowler about it."

Ratchet asks me, "What is it, Smokeedge?"

I answered, "We were detected by two hundred and fifteen humans, and I suspect that ninety-three of them work in the United States military, more specifically a portion works for Sector 7 and the rest work for NEST."

Ratchet was silent for half a minute before saying, "I'll contact Agent Fowler and General Bryce immediately."

After that, introductions were had with the humans and their families, and after much deliberations, debates, and paperwork, we gave them portable Ground Bridge remotes so they can access our bases whenever possible, we gave them Iron Man suits of various designs and amounts of weapons while also upgrading them to the point where the onboard computer systems helps them to fight any human or Decepticon on equal grounds regardless of combat experience and training, and we had them enlist in not only NEST, but also in the All Organic And Cybernetic Species Treaty, something that Sam's parents argued for us to make just in case Earth gets any more visitors from any aliens that turn out to be heroes just like us Autobots, and – in Sam's words – just like Superman, Supergirl, Superboy, Zordon, Spock, Mar-Vell, Thor, King Bor, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the armies of Asgard, the Green Lantern Corps, the Nova Corps, and all other humanoid aliens similar to them on the hero side.

Yeah, we did our research on human cultures and fictional entertainment meticulously ever since we got the final preparations for our bases finished.

Nevertheless, we managed to get our Iron Legion ready for deployment over the course of the next sixteen years to this point in time if we ever need additional reinforcements and if in the event that our Autobot forces are all incapacitated or otherwise occupied.

This turned out to be one of the smartest decisions made, especially since Ratchet and I used specific types of electronic watches aside from military watches and our fully charged Mini-Forges to make the Iron Man suits and give them to our new Iron Legion.

Admittedly, we Autobots haven't done so well on thinking hard about the smarter choices to make, not including the decision to exclude Hauler from the Centurion, Senturion, Legionnaire, and other combiner projects to prevent him from preventing either of them from landing the final blow on Devastator.

But now, thanks to the foreknowledge we were given, we have the capacity to make even better decisions in the future before those times come to pass.

Anyway, for our Iron Legion, we had them go on the Sirtfood Diet for not only making sure that they lose excess weight and gain muscle, but also for making sure that their life spans are increased by another few years of old age.

Yes, Ratchet and I did our research on human health and the ways humans should be healthy.

But in any case, we were getting ourselves ready because our last arrivals will be coming to our universe in four days: Margaret Smith, Catherine Brown, and Arrietta Wilson, also known as Shadeskulker, Platinum, and Meltcircuit.

Yeah, it was a shocker about what Alpha Trion had told us. But nevertheless, we're ready to welcome our old friends back, even if they don't remember being Cybertronians in our current universe.

The End.
