[1] [Video] [Speak to Optimus here.]
[Well everyone, after that interesting little event at the power plant, there are now three transforming alien robots at Sakihama base. The leader of them now making an announcement.]
Members of the Unity Group. It is a pleasure to meet all of you, though admittedly I wish that your first encounter with my species could have been under better circumstances. My name is Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. I had mentioned before during the battle that there was a war involved between the Decepticons and ourselves. What I had not mentioned was the scale of it...
[Prime sounded more than a little severe.]
This conflict consumed our entire planet and divided our species in two and had spanned across millennia. A conflict that has spread here when I led a failed attempt to find others willing to assist the Autobots as our numbers... and the energy available across our planet dwindled. It is because of this mistake that I swear that my troops and I will do whatever we can to assist mankind and all its allies in defending itself - not just from the Decepticons, but from all those who seek to cause you harm.
As such, all Autobots present on Earth will make themselves known to ESUN officials and provide assistance whenever possible. A small contingent of which will be arriving to support the Unity Group directly.
I hope that our people can continue to work together. Even after our battles are over.
[2] [New Arrivals] [Speak to the other Autobots here]
[It wasn't long before a contingent of vehicles bearing the Autobot insignia stopped off at Sakihama. There was a lot of cheery talking and jabbing at each other for the most part, Optimus looking happy at the arrival of his soldiers-... no. His friends. After that the Autobots were getting acclimated to their new surroundings.]
[There were the two that appeared with Optimus of course. Blaster was smiling the whole time after getting to see Zwei Wing in person and was laying out a few beats. Admittedly it'd be hard NOT to hear the music if you wander through there. He was nodding to the beat as his chest compartment opened up and launched out a few cassettes that transformed into human sized robots that assisted in his work.]
[Cliffjumper was dragging several crates to what he has claimed to be 'his place'. Note that when he opened the crates he was soon unpacking a frighteningly huge arsenal with the biggest smirk. The way he unloaded every weapon from their containers with something approaching destructive reverence was nerve wracking to say the least. Is he really one of the good guys?]
[Ironhide and Kup, the old timers out of all of them were joking with each other as old soldiers are wont to do as they unloaded more material. The former would shake his head with a wry smirk as he kept working while the latter lapsed into talking about past campaigns in which he had to cooperate with alien species.]
[Ratchet, the medical officer of the Autobots was getting a handle for the equipment and materials the Unity Group has, given his technical know how he would be supplementing the mechanics. He's quite impressed at the level of robotics expertise that humanity has reached and believes there's a lot that can be shared in terms of knowledge.]
[Bumblebee was busying himself by conversing with some of the techs and other personnel around the base. Now that the Autobots were working with humanity rather than simply supporting them from the shadows, he was taking the chance to get to know people.]
[Red Alert on the other hand was looking jumpy as he looked around, muttering comments about potential security breaches and that there was no way that everyone on the base could be trusted. He internally ponders doing a triple-over background check on all personnel when he has the chance, if he can get the chance. He's busy setting up a makeshift security area for himself to work from and occasionally snapping away from his set up to look around randomly.]
[Wheeljack was setting up a makeshift lab/workshop. Be afraid. Be very afraid.]
[And then last but not least was the MASSIVE figure of Grimlock. The only Autobot who rivaled Optimus in terms of sheer size. He wasn't doing anything to help the others but merely set up his own little area, lay a massive sword against the wall and sit down, glaring at everyone else and daring them to approach. Something about him felt different from the others, but you can't put your finger on it.]
[Feel free to speak to any of them.]

[2] Ratchet, Bumblebee, Kup / Ironhide, Wheeljack
Rachet would find that a green haired human female would be watching him work and she looks up at the living robot over for a moment.
"Machines that are alive in every-way that counts. I'd never thought I'd meet something like you your a medic unless that Red Cross on your arm is just for show? I'm Raquel by the way and it's nice to meet another species whom all of do not want to kill us."
Kup and Iron Hide
At some other point Raquel seems to have been listening into the old Vets talk and she seems interested Kup for all the world carrying himself like some of the infantry forces who operate the base's security.
"Sounds like you got experience with this? Don't worry we don't lay eggs in your brains if that's what your worried about. Seriously though welcome to earth and we can frankly use all the backup we can get. If it's not our own internal fighting, it's hostile races from off world coming to kick our door down. Like seriously were we some evil empire that got bombed back to the stone-age once and now everyone's freaking out about us not being dead?"
Bumblebee
Raquel could not help herself but to notice the bright yellow living mecha who seem to be out talking to people and chatting she walks up to him, with perhaps odd hair for a human then again who knows there's a lot of variation with organic life after all.
"Hey, you seem to be getting busy meeting people already, hum so what's your story if I might ask? So your people would I think make it your the second alien species to join the Unity group. Though there is a Shura and his companion around here somewhere."
Yes Neige the lady who made Raquel feel flat, oh so very flat, but enough of that, Raquel attempts to focus on the Autobot and forget about Neige for the moment.
"So what's your name big guy?"
Wheeljack
At some point Raquel finds Wheeljack working here and she's watching him set up shop.
"So just what are you setting up is this some sort of lab?"
From:
;-; so many Autobots
I actually chose this form because of what its supposed to represent.
[He taps the cross with a smile.]
Maybe I don't know much about human physiology, but I've done my fair share of emergency work while I'm here. Name's Rachet, and I'd have to say the feeling's mutual.
With the Old Timers
Ya hear that ya rust bucket? Guess those stories about Erebus Six ain't worth a scrap here.
It was Erebus Nine, maybe you're the one getting old if your memory processors are that shot.
[The two scuffle lightly, albeit in a way that won't lead to them hurting any personnel. Especially Raquel.]
We know all about stuff like that, believe me. And if you were some kinda' crazy empire back then, ya sure aren't now. an' Prime'd still fight for ya'll anyway.
With Short Dude
My story? Not that interesting.
[Bumblebee waves it off.]
Kup's got all sorts of stories if you want them though. Name's Bumblebee! Good to meet you.... and... what's a Shura?
With the Scientist
[Wheeljack would smile if he had a mouth.]
Yup! We've got to stay ten steps ahead of the Decepticons and who knows what else is out there, so I'm going to be doing my best to help out in the Hangar and see if we can adapt some of our technology to yours!
And this is the first time I've got a chance to see another species' technology up close! All that potential!
From:
Re: ;-; so many Autobots
"Well you got it right given it's origins. both the Red Cross and Red Crescent have done good work for a very long time. So you did pick a good form. Both deal in err though the term may be outdated humanitarian aid, often which is medical based."
She takes a moment to look Ratchet over and nods.
"I'm certain some of the medics or doctors could at least run you through basic first aid and give you some material to look over. I'm glad you feel that way, Ratchet? Humm interesting is that a translation of your actual name or a nick name you picked up here? I'm curious and I'm Raquel Manora I'm a test pilot and martial artist."
The older than Dirt Team
Raquel takes note of this ground pounders will be ground pounders not matter the species it seems and that does get a smirk on her face.
"Still must be neat to have a pile of stories like that. I might have to hit you up for a few. I'd love to hear of some worlds no human's ever seen or been too. That's a good way to put if if we have as a species done something no living human is able to recall what we did. You can't really rightly string us up for something like that, well and call it just."
The Short Bot
"Oh come on your kidding right? You been off your home world at the very least and to at least one other world right? The Shura is a race of humanoids so far as I know insane martial arts abilities they can channel their life force into attacks. He was basically punching thing through mountains pretty much."
Maw of Madness err Science
"So I hear about that, curious give you likely have a better handle on mechanics than even we do all things considered. That would be something to see if it works out. I guess there's that, your people likely look at somethings different than we or or think of things we'd never consider or vice versa."
From:
no subject
That'd be much appreciated. I can't exactly be a doctor if I don't know how to help my patients.
Ratchet's been my name for the entire time I was online, so we can go with Translation. I don't think humans are equipped to speak NeoCybex or Primus Forbid the Primal Vernacular. I think your vocal systems would need replacement after an attempt.
Older than Dirt's Grandpa Team
I get the feeling I'm going to like it here on Earth. They know how to show a veteran some respect!
Lets see if yer still gonna say that when they power down in the middle of one of yer stories Kup
The Bot Voted For Most Popular Without Him Knowing
Well... Maybe a couple of times. Just a few recon trips here and there. Prime asked me along because I'm good with locals.
[BB shrugs before looking pretty surprised at the thing with the Shura, looking pretty amazed.]
I've heard about Cybertronians who can channel their spark's energy into their swords, but nothing on that scale. I mean, you've usually got to have a lot of explosives, a big ship or just being big to punch through a mountain.
The Whirling Storm of SCIIIIEEEENCE
Yep! Different thought processes lead to different ideas! Your species would've had a lot of different priorities to ours. There's the whole ethical bridge to consider and with how your planet is, environmental concerns too.
Prime wanted me to make sure anything I make doesn't cause Earth any problems.
From:
no subject
"Sure I'll give them a heads up about you, and I see. I was making no assumptions and why does that not shock me? I like my vocal cords where they should be. It's rather hard to get replacement parts for us. It's pretty problematic really. I hopefully won't need such! As for your language it sounds curious but I suspect it might sound incomprehensible to me."
Older than the Hills Team
Raquel knows to respect any warrior whose survived a lot they are doing something right after all.
"Hey those stories may be old news to you comrades but they are new to us, right? We likely have a few of our own already. Such as the Shura I met recently, I never seen anything like that. He makes what I can do look like a rookie. Like me he can channel his ki, life force or what you want to call it into physical form and make use of it to fight."
The Gold Bug
"That does sound interesting."
As she listens to Bumblebee and grins.
"So your people can also do it to some extent, very interesting. Just proves your life, maybe not as we know it but you are. Would you care to see?"
Bill! BILL! BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY!
"Makes sense I mean you don't have the same needs as us like breathing I'd suspect. True just because you can doesn't mean you should. Ya it's one giant living thing and we're pretty good sadly at setting our own bed on fire."
"Well your a professional I'm certain we have nothing to worry about."
From:
no subject
Well I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Some of us have trouble understanding the older form of our language. Too much time fighting and getting patched up than learning.
[Ratchet actually sounded mildly annoyed by the thought rather than depressed.]
Maybe some of them could learn how to take cover as well.
Team Older than the Stones
Shu-what? That sounds like a load of bolts to me...
[Kup on the other hand looked thoughtful and brushed at his chin contemplatively.]
Life force using fighters huh? I've heard of something like that. One of the most dangerous things walking out there. Heard some of them could break whole planets in half! I remember one of the locals on Quezal Four saying that one of their moons was broken clean in half cause of one.
Not the kind of enemy you can take head on I can tell you that. You'd want to sneak up on them, lay a lot of traps and ambushes.
Oh for th' love of Primus! Are you makin' this up now Kup?!
[Kup gave a smirk at his fellow veteran but shakes his head.]
You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? Might be second hand words from some locals I met centuries ago, but it helps to keep it in the processor. Never know what you'll bump into these days.
Sneakiest Yellow Car Ever
That'd be amazing! I probably got to get back to work though.
[Bumblebee actually looked pretty embarrassed.]
But I'll check back with you later on that. Promise!
MR SCIENCE
Bed?
[Wheeljack shrugs it off as an organic thing.]
Hah! That's something I really don't hear a lot. Means a lot to me thanks!
From:
no subject
"I get it, I think. So you been fighting so long it's eroding your culture...it's hard to think on the scale of time you likely live. To you, you blink and poof. I'd not be shocked if some member watches my species evolve as a research project of some sort."
She does not seem angry, she seems
Team Threw the Switch in the Beginning
"It's not a load of whatever. I saw it and I'm able to do much the same. That does sound like a thing if you can't beat them with brute force out think them that's way to put it and split moon? Man think about with power like that one could be some sort of planet pirate. As for not forgetting thing likely a good idea and look at it this way. Those people you shot the breeze with still has someone to recall them. I noticed ... we seem to be obsessed with leaving some kind of proof we were here."
Ninjas in Yellow?
"All right I'll show you another time or you might see me in action if we deploy to the same combat zone. You take care all right?"
Mr. Wizard
"Glad to hear that then, still things have been a bit dicey lately but I suspect what you crank out going to be useful though I admit it's got to be like stone knives and bear skins on this planet for you."
