After the confrontation with the police car robot, Braedey and Jasmine were both watching in silence as the Camaro robot drove them along, the two staring at the steering wheel moving on its own, as well as the pedals.
"This car's a pretty good driver." Jasmine said aloud.
"Yep." Braedey agreed. "I think he already knows that. You can sit in the driver seat, you know?" He asked.
"I'm not gonna sit there! He's driving!" Jasmine protested back.
"Good point there... well, you can sit in my lap?" Braedey now offered to her.
Jasmine raised an eyebrow at him. "Why?"
"'Cause I've got the only seatbelt here." Braedey answered with a smirk to her.
Jasmine smiles back and she climbed onto his lap. Braedey now pulls the seatbelt over them as she lay back against his form. "That seatbelt thing was pretty smooth." Jasmine giggled softly.
"Thanks." Braedey chuckled.
"You know what I don't understand?" Jasmine now asked.
"What?" Braedey questioned.
"If he's supposed to be some kind of super-advanced robot, why does he transform back into this crappy old Camaro?" Jasmine now asked softly.
The car immediately and abruptly stopped by the walkway down in the tunnel they were driving in, and it then dumps the teens out. The door shuts behind them and the car drives off with a roar of its engine.
"Well... that's one way to tick off a 4,000 dollar robot." Braedey muttered, now getting to his feet. "He must be really sensitive to his appearance."
In the tunnel, the Camaro rides on his right wheels past another car and scans it, the car now starting to change form. Braedey and Jasmine now turn back around and see the car pull up... only to see it has changed into 500,000 dollar concept Chevrolet Camaro!
"No. Freaking. Way." Braedey gasped.
Braedey and Jasmine both pile into the newly changed vehicle, looking about it in awe. They look around at the interior in awe at the leather seats and tinted windows. They smirked to one another, the Camaro now driving out of the tunnel with a roar.
The Camaro soon pulls up in the carpark to the National History Musuem and come to a stop. Braedey helps Jasmine out of the car as they then could hear something up in the sky. They look up to see what looks to six or so comets streaking their way towards the city.
The closest one landed nearby in the forest. Braedey and Jasmine both run towards it to see what it was. They saw it was a gigantic metal pod-looking shape in a crater of dirt. There were these amazing symbols adorning it, and heat radiated from it. Not a second later, the pod suddenly began to shift and change.
The second comet lands in a baseball stadium.
The third and fourth land in town nearby a café shop.
The fifth lands in a suburban house in the backyard pool, the sixth crashing down a few hundred metres away from the fifth.
Inside the house, a seven-year-old girl saw the flashes of light from outside and grabbed her pouch from underneath her pillow before leaving her room.
Back in the forest, both Braedey and Jasmine ran off to where the crashed meteor fell, only to see the crater where it has landed... but there was no meteor.
"Where did it go?" Braedey asked in confusion.
Braedey and Jasmine rushed back to the Camaro when they heard the car honking its horn and flashing its lights at them. As they left, the robot behind the trees witnessed the two teens and runs off, unnoticed.
Back in town, a bunch of teens were all running off to see what had crashed in their backyard and in their own town.
"This is the coolest thing I've ever seen! Explosions everywhere!" A teen yelled out all the while videoing himself as he ran about. "This is easily a hundred times cooler than Armageddon! I swear to God!" He and his friends run to where the meteor crashed and see the old tech building a huge hole in the side.
"Whoa, sweet!" A guy with a baseball cap gasped at the sight of the damage.
"Oh, dude, I hope this guy's got asteroid insurance, cause he is so boned!" The teen videoing himself then sees the trees rustling.
Unbeknown to everyone, a Hummer H2 Ambulance in yellowish gold with red highlights drives by them, unnoticed. Alongside the rescue vehicle, an army green 4x4 SUV of sorts follows alongside.
At a Cadillac dealership not far from the baseball stadium, one robot jumps off the roof, inadvertently taking out the lights in the process. It looked around to make sure nobody was looking, then it noticed a custom Pontiac Solstice sportscar up on display inside the car dealership.
The robot walked over and began to scan the Pontiac from the front to rear bumper and transforms into its exact form before driving off with a drifting slide in the process. As the Pontiac robot does so, a red custom supercar races alongside and rockets along down the road, flames shooting out of its exhaust pipes.
At the suburban house, the little girl walked out over to her pool and stared as a giant robot slowly stands up and climbed up out of her pool. It then stomped away, glancing back at her for a moment.
"Excuse me, are you the tooth fairy?" The girl asked the robot innocently. The robot nodded gently at her before running off.
The child's parents soon run out after hearing the noise going on outside. "Honey, what're you doing out here by yourself? HOLY GOD! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE POOL?!" They called out.
The robot that had landed in the pool hides behind the trees before it could be seen. It then spotted the father's black GMC 4500 Topkick Truck. It scans and transformed into the pickup truck before driving away.
At the same time, another robot, slimmer and smaller than the other ones, had taken notice of a Kawasaki Ninja 250R motorcycle parked outside of a house. Stealthily, the robot scans the bike from handlebar to leg strut, and it transforms into the motorcycle and goes on after the GMC truck.
As this happened, the first robot that had landed in the forest walked up to a hill. It knelt down as it heard the sound of an approaching vehicle, so not to be seen by the driver. It then spotted a grey and black Peterbilt 379 without a trailer hitched going down on the highway going by.
The robot takes a quick scan of the truck, and once the truck was gone from sight, the robot's body now broke apart and it then transformed into the same Peterbilt truck, but now sporting a red/blue paintjob with a series of flames across it.
A little later, the Camaro drove up into a lone alleyway. Once they came to a stop, Braedey and Jasmine could see the lights of an approaching vehicle heading towards them.
"Why are we here?" Jasmine wondered in confusion.
"I don't know..." Braedey replied back.
Braedey and Jasmine both got out, just as they saw a red/blue Peterbilt truck made it's way through the fog, towards them. The two then heard noises from behind them and they turn around to see several more vehicles driving towards them, and they saw a Pontiac, GMC Truck, Kawasaki motorcycle, a red custom supercar, an army green 4x4 truck, and Hummer H2 Ambulance approaching.
The Peterbilt drove out of the thick fog and parked directly in front of the two teens with a hiss of its brakes. As they stare on, the truck began to break apart as the parts shifted and started to transform and rise up. Braedey and Jasmine watch on, awestruck, as the truck transformed slowly, each second growing in height till he was towering above them, clicking the last few parts into place. At the same time, the other cars and trucks also began to break apart and transform around the two human teenagers, both of them watching on in shock and awe as they began to form into humanoid robot modes.
The army green 4x4 had become a 27ft tall, large and bulky robot in dark green with grey highlights. His arms are fairly long, whilst his legs are short, similar to that of a gorilla, while four off-road wheels are on his back. A pair of headlights and the front bumper bars of a large 4x4 vehicle are present on the lower abdomen of the Autobot. He has a pair of blue optics, a grey facial plate, a green helm in a shape similar to that of a military helmet, and a large lower jaw and chin.
The motorcycle robot became a 15 feet tall, Amazonian femme. Her colour is blue, with some silver and pink highlights. She has small wings and a tyre in her back. She has a built in skirt, and her midriff is a dark grey colour. She has two golden colour ridges along her face and hands. She has blue plated bits of armor around her chest. She has a small red coloured circle on her head's helmet, in the middle of the middle horn. Her face is a light silvery grey.
The GMC robot stands around 28ft tall, with the front fenders of his vehicle mode as his shoulders, with a finical design to his helm but not so big. He has two cannons built onto his forearms, whilst his wheels are hidden from view, and his legs are thickly armoured to support his weight.
The Pontiac robot looks to stand about 18ft, with a stylish helm that has two horn-like protrusions, plus a visor over his eyes like sunglasses, the chest now being the front bumper and grill of the Solstice, while his hands look to have four fingers, with the wheels being the shoulders and the ankles.
The red supercar robot stood 20ft tall with a bright red and orange colour scheme, with red neon lightning across his form. It has a streamlined body shape and form, with a set of gold 'wings' on his back, wheels for his shoulders, with his second pair of wheels hidden from view, his broad chest tapering down to a narrow waist, and slender legs that are tipped with boot-like feet.
The Hummer robot now stands about 22ft tall, the head and face looking to be wise in a way, the chest out of the front bumper and roll bar, the wheels as the shoulders and on the hips, the medical markings on the arms, the lights on the shoulders with the front fenders, with the feet looking to be boot-shaped.
Finally, the Peterbilt truck finally transformed into its full form. It stands at a staggering 37ft tall, has a gray facial plate with a blue helmet and antennas of the same colour, heavily detailed and designed with multiple plates and layers of pieces on top of each other. It has two sphere shape bases for his antennas, with dark blue colouring around it. It has a red chest with windows from his vehicle mode, and a dark grey strip on both of its ribs, the flames looking like ribs as well, whilst it's legs are in blue. It has big shoulders that overlapped it's arms. 2 truck wheels are at the back held by the smokestacks, whilst 4 wheels are on the back of its legs. The same insignia is present in the centre of its chest.
The truck robot now kneels down and leans in close to Braedey. "Are you Braedey Witwicky Martin, descendant of Jackson Archibald Martin?" His voice was deep, almost like a baritone, but carried a sense of strength and prowess, no doubt giving him the strength of that of a leader.
"They know your name!" Jasmine whispered in awe.
Braedey cleared his throat. "Yes. I am Braedey Martin. This is Jasmine Russo. And who are you?" He now asked.
"My name is Optimus Prime." The truck robot now introduced himself to the two humans. "We are autonomous robotic organisms from the planet of Cybertron."
"But you can call us Autobots for short." The Ambulance robot clarified for the humans.
"Autobots..." Braedey breathed in amazement. "I like that."
The female motorcycle robot nodded her helm. "The name definitely works for us. Name's Arcee, in case you're wondering. First Lieutenant."
Jasmine looked over at Arcee. "Are there more like you? As in female robots?"
Arcee shrugged her shoulder plates. "A number of them, here and there. Though there aren't many of us left." She admitted, Jasmine nodding in sympathy to her.
"What's cracking, little freaks?" The Pontiac snickered before spinning in the air and landing on his knees.
"My second Lieutenant. Designation: Jazz." Optimus introduced.
"This looks like a cool place to kick it!" Jazz then spun around before he jumped up onto an abandoned Valiant, one leg hanging off lazily.
"He's cool." Jasmine commented.
"Wow. Wait, how did he learn to talk like that?" Braedey inquired as Optimus stood up to his full height.
"We've learned Earth's languages through the World Wide Web." Optimus explained to them. He then gestures to the black GMC Truck robot. "My weapons specialist: Ironhide."
Ironhide pushed out two large cannons, spun them around, and strapped them to his arms, before he pointed them at the humans. "You feelin' lucky, punk?" He taunted, Braedey swallowing nervously as Jasmine held his hand.
"Easy, Ironhide." Optimus said calmly.
"Just kidding." Ironhide shrugged. "I just wanted to show him my cannons."
"Nice." Braedey whistled.
"Our Wrecker: Bulkhead." Optimus gestured a hand over to the bulky green 4x4 robot.
"Hey. I may not look it, but I've got a soft spot." Bulkhead shrugged his big shoulders, while showing a smile.
"So, are the Wreckers a special unit?" Braedey mused.
"Oh, yeah. We accept missions other Autobots won't take. We don't call for backup: we call for clean-up." Bulkhead clarified. He gestured over to the red supercar robot. "This is Hotrod. Our rookie fighter, but he has a good Spark in him."
"Heyo." Hotrod gave a two-finger salute, Braedey nodding back and saluting him.
Optimus now gestured over to the Ambulance. "Our medical officer: Ratchet."
Ratchet seems to sniff the air. "The boy's pheromone level suggests he wishes to mate with the female." He commented and took note.
Braedey rubbed his hair in embarrassment with a faint blush, as Jasmine just giggled and kissed his cheek in response. "Really? In front of the robots?" Braedey hissed a little. Jasmine just shrugged back.
"You already know your guardian, Bumblebee." Optimus now introduced the Camaro, as Bumblebee started to pretend to box and moonwalks in place.
"Check on the rep yep, second to none." Bumblebee's radio spoke out.
"Bumblebee. Nice name, and you're my guardian?" Braedey grins at the Camaro, Bumblebee nodding back to him. Braedey then frowned at something. "Wait, if all of you can talk with your own voices, why does Bumblebee talk through the radio?" He questions.
"His vocal processors were unfortunately damaged during battle." Ratchet clarified as he shot a laser at Bumblebee's throat, scanning it. Bumblebee coughed as Ratchet tapped something on his arm. "I'm still working on them." He sighed as he shook his helm.
"I'm sure you'll get your voice back." Braedey reassured to Bumblebee, the latter kneeling down and the two share a gentle fist-bump.
Jasmine looked at Optimus. "Optimus Prime. Why are you all here on Earth?" She questioned.
"We are here looking for the AllSpark. And we must find it before Megatron." Optimus answered her question, his voice showing emotion in them.
"Megatron?" Braedey questioned. "Is he someone you know?"
"He's the reason why we are here." Arcee clarified, her voice laced with anger, her optics also showing anger.
Optimus raised one of his fingers to his temple and closed his optics. When he re-opened them, a blue laser-like light shone out of them, the light forming an illusion of the cement crumbling away into lava streams, then into a crippled planet that was heavily damaged and in ruins all around them. They watch large pillars appear around them, even and see a large silver robot with deadly red eyes and with spikes throwing a spear of some kind at another robot. This was no doubt the being known as Megatron.
"Our planet was once a powerful empire, peaceful and just, until we were betrayed by Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. All who have defied them were destroyed. Our war had finally consumed the planet, and the AllSpark was lost to the stars. Megatron followed it to Earth, where Captain Martin found him." Optimus explained.
"My grandfather." Braedey now realised.
"It was an accident, that had intertwined the fates of both our worlds." Optimus sighed regrettably, now revealing the image of Megatron frozen in ice. "Megatron had crash-landed before he could ever retrieve the Cube. Captain Martin accidentally activates his navigation system. This produced the Cube's coordinates on Earth, which had been imprinted within the crystal and his necklace." Optimus added in.
"Wait. That crystal... it glowed when Bumblebee turned up outside my house this morning." Braedey questions to them. "Why did it do that?"
"The reason why is because that gem is composed of an element we possess... known as Energon." Optimus explained to the brunette.
"Energon is our ammunition, blood, and our medicine." Bulkhead included next.
"Energon is what keeps our Sparks alive, the energy inside our chests. They are what give us Cybertronians life and hold our memories. Without them, we would cease to be." Ratchet added in, tapping his chestplate for emphasis.
Braedey and Jasmine both nodded their heads in understanding. To them, it seemed that Cybertronian sparks were similar to human hearts and souls.
"But how did you find out about the necklace?" Braedey now asked.
"Your grandfather never seemed to never take off the necklace. He always wore it in old photographs that we've discovered in archives on the World Wide Web." Optimus answered to Braedey's question.
"Huh. Makes sense." Braedey nodded.
Jasmine looked over at them. "But what would happen if the Decepticons find the AllSpark?" She asked.
"If the Decepticons find the AllSpark, they will use its power to transform your Earth machines, and build a new army." Ratchet answered.
"And the human race shall be extinguished." Optimus added in gravely, now standing to his full height. "Braedey Martin, you now hold the key to Earth and humanity's survival." The rest of the Autobots now gather around them, all looking to the two humans.
Jasmine leaned over to Braedey. "Please tell me you have that necklace."
Braedey looked to her, then back to the Autobots. "Yes. I'll help you all in this endeavour, and do whatever I can to assist you."
Optimus nodded his helm to the brunette human. "We thank you, Braedey." He looked to his Autobots. "Let's roll."
