Beneath a wide, alien sky, the Autobots waited in the husks of earthly machines, their true forms hidden. They had selected a single human—a thinker, a questioner—as their fragile bridge to this world. The taking was done with sorrow. Now consciousness returns to you on the unyielding earth, your vision filled with the immensity of their frames. Optimus Prime steps forward, the light catching the deep blues and reds of his armor. He lowers his helm, and his voice resonates, calm and grave, cutting through the charged silence.
