Transformers Prime: No Autobots Are Idiots.

Chapter 23: New Home.

(Transformers Prime Universe #192,394,596,203,495,867,019,183, Sunday, June 27th, 2010, Margaret Smith's POV...)

We rode in Optimus Prime as we drove to the Autobot base, Autobot Outpost Omega One.

Even I'm happy about it, but I'm still unhappy with the fact that back in our universe, the original versions of our friends and family would never remember us.

But on the plus side, even if it ain't gonna be one hundred percent the same, their universal clones will be here with us. That is, if we can recruit them, whether as techno-organics or as members of the Iron Legion with their own Iron Man suits.

After we were one and a half miles from the base, Optimus spoke up as he asks us, "Shades, Platy, Melty, we are one and a half miles from the base. Are the three of you well? You seem to be really quiet, and my sensors are picking up signs of stress and depression coming from you."

Catherine went on to explain to Optimus what happened, and he said, "While I do not condone your human friends and family becoming amnesiac in the form of not remembering that the three of you exist, know that with or without their counterparts in my universe existing here, you still have us. And with the possibility of your Cybertronian friends and family returning to Earth over the course of the next 2 months, I have a feeling that you will be fully satisfied."

(Third person POV...)

Optimus kept a close optic on the trio as he entered the base.

And Ratchet turned to see Optimus pull in.

Ratchet mentally remarks, "Well, at least we have enough intel on the three humans to draw upon the conclusion that Optimus and the other thirty-nine Primes were telling the truth after all."

Arcee comes up and asks, "So, these are the humans Optimus and the others said come from the Quadwal cluster, Ratchet?"

Ratchet answers stiffly, "Yes, Arcee."

Ratchet and Arcee watched as Optimus slowed to a stop and the three human girls stepped out so Optimus could transform to robot mode.

Margaret says, "Thanks, Optimus. That was the best truck ride I have ever had."

Catherine adds, "Same here."

Arrietta adds as well, "Ditto for me too."

Ratchet stiffens in shock.

Ratchet mentally asks, "Wait a nanoklik! Is that... really them?! I recognize those voices, but I thought they..."

The girls turn to look at Ratchet and Arcee, and the two Autobots looked like they saw a ghost.

And before Optimus could respond to the three girls, Ratchet then drops his wrench with a loud clang.

Alpha Trion and Vector Prime come up with Smokeedge's two newest inventions, and they use the Instant Memory Revival Machine on Catherine and Arrietta first, and then they use the Reformatting Module on the three girls, changing them back into their Cybertronian forms.

Shadeskulker looks like a combination of Elita One, Bumblebee, Chromia, and Arcee in her original Sprinter Class Scout body frame during the War for Cybertron but in a pattern of navy blue, sky blue, teal, and indigo blue, Platinum looks like a combination of Moonracer, Cliffjumper, Tailgate, and Firestar but in teal, platinum blue hence her name, and cerulean blue, and Meltcircuit looks like a combination of Ratchet, Optimus, pre-Dinobot Grimlock, Motormaster, Megatron in his original Destroyer Class Soldier frame, Megatron in his Gunner Class Titan frame, and Megatron in his current Flier frame but in a mixture of red, blue, yellow, brown, grey, black, orange, violet, pink, and white.

Ratchet rushes up to Shadeskulker and hugs her tightly.

Shadeskulker was shocked, and was even more shocked when Arcee hugged her as well, and the two Autobots on the original Team Prime roster had begun shedding Energon tears.

Even Optimus was shocked at seeing Ratchet and Arcee crying.

In no time, the other Autobots who were close to the three femmes came up and reunited with them.

Smokeedge looks at his foreknowledge calendar, and his optics widen as he realizes that in two weeks was the start of the Transformers Prime cartoon reality, the day that the Decepticons return to scavenge enough Energon for preparing for Megatron's return because Starscream had been twiddling his thumbs even without Soundwave notifying his one true master about it.

Smokeedge looks at Vector Prime, Alpha Trion, Nightimus Prime, the rest of the Nightowl Trines, Firmshot, Steelwolf, the "Fangirls," Christian, and Kenneth, and they looked back at him.

They knew in an instant what the others were thinking: that things are coming to a head soon, and they needed to be prepared.

The End.
