[The video feed shows a very serious, very large Autobot. He looks calm, but... not particularly happy at the moment.]

My designation is Skyfire, Autobot scientist. I have just arrived and received a basic explanation, so that part is covered, mostly. Hard to believe as it might be.

That said - If there are any other Autobots from the same Cybertron I come from, that would be nice to know.

...The Earth we crashed on was just starting to develop intelligent life.

Really? That's... quite a coincidence.

Re: [Video]

[...]

....Yeah. Your ship wasn't called the Ark at all, was it?

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

No, but... the Ark did crash on Earth later.

This is getting a little disturbing.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

Oh yeah, you can say that again.

[... Really disturbing.]

So uh. I wonder what else we have in common then.

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

... that's an excellent question.

The thing is, I couldn't tell you much more about the Ark or what happened to it. By the time I came out of stasis, they had been on Earth for some time already.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

...Well that I already know. My group found the Ark in a volcano before I arrived here.

[wherenobotsgone]

[He nods, thoughtful.]

They awoke from stasis in the year 1984, according to the human calendar. I was found a little while later.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

Then you were probably on Earth the same time we were and we just didn't know you were there. Which, considering the problems we had isn't much of a surprise.

That is, if you believe we're talking about the same Ark and it's starting to sound like we are.

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

It does sound like it. And, well, I was stuck in the North Pole. I wouldn't have been easy to find in any case.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

Yeah, you wouldn't have. Most of us didn't venture that far north. Our beast modes wouldn't have been able to handle the cold.

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

Your... beast modes?

[That part is new.]

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

Yeah, Beast mode. It's like your alt vehicle mode, only with animals.

[She looks thoughtful for a moment before switching over to her own beast mode.]

Maybe it's easier just to show you.

[Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

Ah, I see! I thought you might have kept your original Cybertronian modes, if there was no intelligent life around yet...

But that is fascinating. It could easily pass for organic.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

If it weren't for the raw Energon deposits, we might have. Without a beast mode we were in danger of the radiation.

Re: [Video]

[wherenobotsgone]

... so it was that kind of adaptation. I see.

Re: [Video]

[treacherous_widow]

Basically. The creatures were native to the planet and immune.
