Transformers Prime: No Autobots Are Idiots.

Chapter 20: Welcome to Earth.

(Transformers Prime Universe #192,394,596,203,495,867,019,183, Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010, third person POV...)

In a nearby desert far off from Nevada and California, a blue femme and an orange mech walked out of a spaceship and as the orange mech stretches his arms over his head, the blue femme says, "Well, all things considered, Earth looks a lot better than what Cybertron currently looks like."

A black Predacon and a white Predacon appeared as well, and as the black Predacon pops her neck and yawns, the white Predacon replies, "That's good, because our ship is totally trashed."

The orange mech then says, "Fortunately for us, Earth has the Autobot signal message. Now all that's left is sending out a signal of our own so the Autobots can find us."

The white Predacon then asks, "Are you sure about this, Mainheart? Sanaya and my origins aren't exactly gonna make us a lot of friends."

Mainheart answers before asking his lookalike, "I'm positive, Saliha. You'll be alright, believe me. Anyway, how's Finch and Starling?"

Heartcore answers, "Oh, they got knocked out cold by the impact of our crash landing, but I checked them over, and they're still alive."

Mainheart nods before saying into his commlink, "This is Mainheart. My ship has crash-landed and I have five passengers with me, two of them unconscious. Is there anyone out there able to lend a helping servo?"

Cliffjumper then asks in shock over the commlink, "Mainheart?! You're alive?!"

Mainheart answers, "You bet I am, Cliffjumper."

Cliffjumper then says, "Stay right there; my teammates are en route via the Ground Bridge."

A Ground Bridge portal opens, and Bulkhead, Ironhide, Jazz, Bluestreak, Tailgate, and Orange Beetle emerge.

Mainheart was pleased to see their Autobot symbols.

Bulkhead answers, "Hey, Mainheart, who're the newbies with you?"

Mainheart answers, "We found them on Cybertron, in Shockwave's laboratory."

The underlying message in case that the Decepticons were eavesdropping was clear: "Shockwave found these guys, tended to them, and handed them to us with clear instructions about how to befriend them."

Mainheart and Heartcore go back inside to retrieve Finch and Starling.

Bulkhead raises an optic ridge at Sanaya and Saliha's Predacon symbols before realization dawns on his face, having become familiar with the Predacon symbol thanks to Whitebright Prime.

Then, Bulkhead and Ironhide went into the ship to help the 2 Predacons with the Energon.

When Sanaya and Saliha walked through the Ground Bridge to the base later on, they had interacted with Bulkhead, and he got the short story of the two Predacons, the full details of which would be revealed to the rest of the Autobot army.

When the other Autobots noticed the six new recruits, Cliffjumper asks Mainheart, "So, these two are your '"other two passengers?"' "

Mainheart answers, "Yes, they are. These are Sanaya and Saliha, Shockwave's experimental Predacons he bred simply for the purpose of increasing our ranks further while coming up with an extremely clever doctored backstory about how they escaped his care if Megatron ever asked."

Ratchet looks and asks, "I'm sorry, did you say that Shockwave, one of our recent defected spies on our side, made these two?!"

Mainheart nods in response.

Arcee then asks, "How do we know we aren't being led into a trap?"

Sanaya answers, "Shockwave gave his word when he said he would help the Autobots as a spy, and as a test of character, he secretly installed Autobot loyalty command programming into me and my twin when we were being given our instructions. Of course, Shockwave's twin brother Seismicwave was gonna come into the laboratory, so we made a show of attacking Shockwave enough to send him into stasis before dealing with Seismicwave, damaging him enough that it'd take solar cycles to repair himself."

The other Autobots looked shocked to hear that.

Just then, Optimus Prime appeared.

Optimus then proceeds to ask, "Sanaya, Saliha, is what Mainheart says true?"

Saliha answers, "Yes, Optimus, it's all true."

Optimus thinks for a moment before saying, "If Mainheart and Heartcore are willing to befriend you both, it is clear that you are both on our side."

Optimus holds out his right servo and says, "Saliha, Sanaya, welcome to the Autobots."

A pair of servo shakes later, the two Predacons sparred with Elita One and Bumblebee, and the two Autobot Predacons proved to be great combatants.

The End.
