Amy:

Amy stood by the huge doors, her arms crossed. Optimus right beside her. They both watched as into the base drove Agent Fowler with new type of truck, based for Optimus for his size. But right behind him drove in another soldier with the femme's vehicle mode; gray sports' car. This one was different also, with more metal surrounding it and more weaponizing spots.

Amy whistled by the sceen, grinning.

"I, like." Amy made it few steps forward, rounding the vehicle up. It was just so perfect for her, she holding her hip and looking at Optimus. "Yours ain't bad either."

"-- Prime, what we have here is an experimental all-terrain expediotinary fighting vehicle, designed by the finest engineers of our M.A.S.K devision." Agent Fowler said, Amy rubbing her optics in disbelief.

Why sudden speech, man?

"Thank you, Agent Fowler. This will most certainly do. However--" Optimus turned to Amy's form, with suspsicion. "The form you desided for Amy, is quite... wild." Amy's jaw dropped, as she crossed her arms firmly.

"You have speeder on the field, plus she has the skills." Agent Fowler pointed out, Amy pointing at him with 'agreed' face. "If she kicks Wheeljack's ass by bare punch, and manages to bring down your Second in Command... I believe she'll be fine. Besides you're there too." Agent Fowler stepped away and towards the platform, the soldiers remaining there to wait them to scan.

I really kicked Magnus' ass yesterday.

All of the Team Prime' members had been testing Amy's fighting skills on the field, if she was ready and able. Turned out that she had unbelievable timing with movement, and that her sensors pick up everything around her. Like a navigator. But her personality remained same, and she uses her holoform if she wants to see her human form... just in case.

"I am still against this." Optimus groaned as he scanned through his mode. Amy scoffed with grin, learning in time to use her Cybetronian body as she scanned. It was almost like looking into the distance and pressing a nerve-button down at same time. And zap; just like that. Amy had the cars' transformation in her processor. "I had to ask earlier, but where did the children go?" Optimus shaked his helm, adjusting for the new form.

"They went out with Smokescreen and Bumblebee, to find their vehicle-modes." Amy explained, tapping her helm as it started feeling like helmache. "They need Earth-based vehicle modes too, now if they're going to accompany us by some missions."

"Before I have tested are you ready and out for the field, you are not to leave the base." Optimus stood straight, looking at Amy with serious optics. "Understood?"

"Jeez, always nagging." Amy sighed, holding her hip. "You know what I'm capable of! Besides I'm not a fragile human anymore, big-rig. I'm able to look after myself." Amy tapped her chest, wanting to show with movement how she was into fighting. "I'm a Cybetronian, sweetie--" Amy came closer, placing her servo on Optimus' cheek as she started smiling wide. "Let me try. Give me a chance."

"... I am still testing you." Optimus groaned, but Amy was satisfied enough and leaped over, giving a kiss on his dentas quickly. But Optimus wasn't pleased by it, grabbing her servo and back as he kept staring at her. "All?" Amy rolled her optics, grinning. She leaned forward more but slower, now they both sharing a deep, passionate, and first kiss in such a long time. And first time in Amy's Cybetronian mode.

... It's oddly feeling right, too.

"Enough?" Amy teased close on Optimus' face, they leaning closer and putting their foreheads together.

"Enough." Optimus replied, giving a kiss of his own right ontop of her helm. As they broke up, however; Amy transformed. It was odd for her, like thinking your whole body's feeling but at same time controlling on which mode you want to change. It was different... like for humans there couldn't be done such a thing. But Cybetronian minds were amazingly intelligent, and it amazed Amy. When Amy was in her Lamborghini-mode, she hit her petal little.

"A ride-tour would be on point, ay?"

~~|||~~

"What happened, Amy? Where Optimus is?"

Amy drove to stop by the base's opening, transforming back into her bot-mode. Ratchet and Bumblebee was first to greet her, but she only rubbed her back and once glanced outside.

"He ordered me back to base since his sensors picked up some energon singals... he didn't allow me to accompany him." Amy sighed, remembering clearly how Optimus and she was having a fine-conversation about their some shared flashbacks, until Optimus' sensors had begun beeping. Even though Amy wanted, Optimus didn't allow her to accompany him if Megatron was there. He was cautious. "... Has the kids come back?"

"Smokescreen informed to take them for a ride, they'll be faster back than Optimus if rushed." Arcee took steps forward, nodding her helm towards the nearest road of them. "They need to explore the outside world, and since you taught Smokescreen I believe they'll be fine."

Amy chuckled, walking now with her more into the base.

"Yeah, I guess. I just haven't seen them all day." Amy stated, watching how a Ground-bridge opened up. "Someone was out...?"

"Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus." Arcee explained, crossing her arms. "Out looking energon, in fact." Arcee had been huge help for Amy, since they both are femmes. Some biology of their Cybetronian bodies, basic info, they have lots of weaponizing spots that even Amy didn't know. They have also... period time kind of once upon year... it only leaks energon.

Everyone currently watched now how Ultra Magnus drove in.

:... Amy.:

Amy froze, stepping little back as her audioreceptor had detected a familiar call. Smokescreen, had called.

"What?" Amy required, pressing her audioreceptor down as she stepped out of the base, tapping her ped on the ground. "Tell me you're all alright..."

:We are, more than fine!: Smokescreen laughed, Amy hearing Praxina's giggle on the background. :But what would a round on the town be like, without having the expert with?:

"You mean, in Jasper Nevada?" Amy asked with distant voice. "Optimus didn't allow me to leave... but I did have a round already with him..." Amy grabbed her chin, glancing back at the base to see Wheeljack arguing now with everyone. "-- Let's make it quick."

:Yeah mom!:

~ Time skip ~

"And that was almost all about it--" Amy transformed into her bot-mode, sliding across the grass beneath her peds until she fell on her back. Laughing. "Expect you have to learn the nature's gifts, beauty of the stars, environments needs and of course; how to respect the world around you." Amy shrugged, placing her arms behind her helm as she kept watching towards the sky. "Even though I once did not... it felt like, everyone was against me."

"Wouldn't we all?" Smokescreen sighed, sitting down near her with Praxina.

"Mom, you haven't told much of your past as a human." Orion sat down carefully beside Amy, watching her with curious optics. "Sire's past is simple, he loves to share it... or not so often." He quickly went back on his word, starting to hold his helm as Amy gave chuckle. "The point is, we know so less of you."

"Yeah! Even from my sire it's all over the freaking data-net!" Praxina groaned, coming closer with her peds being criss-crossed. Amy realized that every one of them was now staring at her. She sat up, raising an eyebrow.

"You mean right here?"

"Is there a better place to it?" Orion required, which Amy though for good time, but ended up shaking her helm in defeat. "And... here ain't anyone else hearing." He attracted, which Amy playfully nudged his side.

"Fool--" Amy made maybe the deepiest sigh of all time, starting to gaze up to the blue sky where birds flew over, and clouds floaded just there. She so hard tried to figure out what to say... and how. "I know that life's hard for everyone, but after my dad died in a car accident since I was only 16 years old... I had found out on that very same day that my best friend, Praxina--" Amy looked at Praxina, who's optics widened up slightly. "Had committed suicide... my world fell apart. Two loved ones lost on same day. I just, I couldn't live in a guilt like that, couldn't I?" Amy looked down, starting to rip the grass off little. "My anxious turned to depression, so I ate pills... lots of them. I cut myself to make nothing better, only to seduce myself." She could notice the glances between Orion, Smokescreen and Praxina. "But you know what--" Her children woke up from their trance. "As I was trying myself commit suicide... guess who came to rescue?"

"... Sire." Praxina and Orion replied with wide smiles remaining on their faceplates. Amy smiled also, giving a fair nod. "So, how'd you met?" Orion required next, but Amy heard beeping noice with Smokescreen.

They both looked down at their sensor-beacon.

"... Let's head back."

~ Time skip ~

"-- Did you find energon, Optimus?"

Amy watched the Prime stumble right through the bridge, he right away making a nod of that Amy, Orion and Praxina were safe. But he did stumble past them, turning to the curious Ratchet who had asked the question.

"No." Optimus simply answered, placing a... thing on one berth. "But I did uncover this." The Prime stepped little back, Amy along with other Bots began to explore whatever it was.

"What the frag's that?" Praxina asked, staring the unusual life-formation with wide optics. Amy expected Ratchet to yell 'language' as he usually does when Praxina would spell the words, but he didn't.

In fact, Ratchet stared there with wide optics.

"It cannot be..." Until he came forward, everyone gathering around the discovery.

"Be what?" Amy and Jack had yet again this connective mind-link which caused them so speak. Together. At some point always. And it did sound crazy.

"The ancient remains--" Optimus looked up at the seiling, preparing himself for the becoming conversation. "Of a Predacon."

"Wait, that Mega-huge dragon?" Miko protested, grabbing the railing near Jack so quickly that even champion would be second. "Are there more!?"

This doesn't sound too good...

"Though it remains unclear why was such a skull would be found on your planet, it's presence reveals all too much about the Predacon which Megatron recently send in pursuit of us." Ratchet stated, watching now down at Miko, Jack and Raf standing near the skull. "Your opinion's right, it's just that Predacons has been exctinct since, well..."

"-- Since before most lifes began on Cybetron." Smokescreen was there to have Ratchet's back, as he so proudly told.

"... They're like Earth's dinosaurs." Amy said, holding her chin up. "If it dares to be that powerful... we're fucked." Ratchet send warning glance, which Amy narrowed her brows.

What? I'm an adult!

"Which means for you guys running into one would be like us meeting a T-rex." Jack held his arms proudly crossed, making a joke to cheer the atmostphere up. And Amy had to admit it was hilarious.

Well. Not to me anymore!

"So then, what were Dinobots?" Miko asked, turning to Bulkhead.

"Totally different." Her Guardian defended quickly, holding his servo up like 'don't ask more'.

"With Megatron's seeming interest in the excavation of prehistoric skeletons, and a certain scientist back among the Decepticon ranks..." Ratchet begun, Amy knowing exactly who he was talking about.

"Shockwave?" Orion replied.

"It would stand to reason, that Shockwave cloned the beast from such a find." Optimus replied, staring down at the skull with more deepened optics.

"And now Megatron's looking to clone another." Ultra Magnus stated.

"What makes you think Bucket-head would stop just at one?" Wheeljack asked, shrugging as if. But it was noted also, and dangerous to think what would happen afterwards.

"... We could have beats wars in our hands." Bulkhead turned to Optimus.

"And if Shockwave only requires a single strand of CNA from which to clone a beast..." Ratchet even turned to Optimus. In fact, everyone did. Even the humans, Amy and her children.

"He already posseses what he needs to engender this one." Optimus kept a pause, giving silent treatment for himself until turned for his team. "Autobots, we must become Beast Hunters."

Amy widened her optics up, Optimus did look at her once too.

Me? TOO!?

"--One thing still doesn't follow."

Everyone turned to Smokescreen, who had begun talking.

"Predacons went extinct on Cybetron. So, what would their bones be doing in here? On Earth?" Smokescreen added, but the question had been like for thin air asked. No one had the information.

... Who would they be made by-?

"Amy!"

The femme turned slightly around to face Agent Fowler, who was standing by his work-room's doorframe. A phone hanging on of his other hand. His face was stern, and his emotions couldn't be showed.

"It's your Mother... she wants to meet with you."
