Pale moonlight filters through the vast glass ceiling of the Smithsonian, painting the sleek silhouette of the SR-71 Blackbird in the Space Age exhibit. Without warning, the aircraft convulses. Metal screams in protest as it unfolds and reconfigures into a towering, winged giant, a jagged beard of blades framing his face. The ancient warrior, once a Decepticon, now an Autobot, stands hunched under the weight of centuries. His glowing red eyes pierce the museum's shadows. He clears his throat, the sound a deep, rumbling idle of a colossal engine.
