I'm awoken from stasis once the pod hits the ground. I'm not sure how long I was out but it must have been awhile given my sore joints. I go to stretch but I'm stopped by a presence on top of me. Right I'm here cause I helped Smokescreen escape.
How is he still sleeping after such a rough landing. He's pretty small compared to me so luckily we could fit in the same pod. It was a split second decision really when I decided to help him. I already wanted to leave the war behind but couldn't. I guess seeing Smokescreen needing help was the push I needed.
"Hey Smokescreen" I shake him and he finally stirs.
"Ugh, what? Did we make it?"
"Yep we made it" I move freeing my arm pulling it back "brace yourself" I punch though the pod wall and pull the metal back making an opening.
"Woah, maybe we should have fought the cons instead of sneaking off board. You didn't tell me you could do that with one arm!" He climbs out and I follow after.
"Thanks but I knew a lot of those cons and I'd rather not see what they thought of ....."
"... Sorry, I didn't mean to"
"It's fine, so where are we?"
"I'm not sure, looks like an organic planet"
"Well let's see what we can find" I pat his shoulder and we both walk into the woods. There seems to be no life near by but Smokescreen looks like he's having fun.
"What are you doing?" I laugh as he punches the air and bobs up and down.
"Stretching! It's been so long since I've been able to move freely" he then kicks the air. I shake my head and watch him fight the air. He's like a sparkling. Suddenly I can hear fighting.
"Smokescreen stay here I'll- Smokescreen?" I looked and saw he was gone and if I had to guess.
"Smokescreen!" I run towards the fight and Smokescreen is up front and in the open.
"Fall back!" I heard somebot shout and noticing the flames in the energon I put it together and rushed for cover.
The explosion was big and took out the remaining viacons. I was a disorientated but once I got grounded I got up and looked for Smokescreen.
"Smokescreen! Smokescreen!"
"I'm over here (y/n)!" I run towards his voice and I'm met with autobots. They immediately point their blasters at me.
"Woah woah wait! She's on our side she helped me escape" Smokescreen steps out in front of me.
"Lower your weapons" I look towards the voice and can't believe who I'm seeing.
"If it is true that she has helped Smokescreen then perhaps she can be trusted" the legend himself Optimus Prime was standing before me.
"It is true! Plus she could be a great ally to us! She broke though the pod with only her fist"
"Smokescreen enough. It's true I did help him escape and I left the desepticons but ... to join the autobots. I left to be away from the war and ... I just"
Optimus placed his servo on my shoulder "It is alright, though we would be more than happy to welcome you as an autobot, we will also welcome you as a cybertronian."
"Optimus you can't be serious. We can't just let her into the base! We could have another Wheeljack situation on our servos" past Optimus was a blue fem, who clearly didn't trust me.
"It's alright, I'm sure I can find somewhere else to stay" though Optimus shook his head, "In order to keep the occupants of this planet safe we have kept ourselves hidden from the public eye. I'm afraid you will not be able to find anywhere to go."
"I see..." I looked down pondering my options. Smokescreen came back to my side.
"Please come with m- us (y/n). I'm sure they'll warm up to you in no time" I let out a sigh and nod. Smokescreen brightens up and flashes a large grin towards the fem. She rolls her eyes. He is going to drive her mad.
Optimus asked for a ground bridge and soon the portal opened. I followed walking along Smokescreen. I was happy but I felt like Optimus knew something I didn't.
"It's been so long since we've had any new bots! What's your story?" And many more questions followed. Cute, the lifeforms of this world are so small.
"Woah wait you brought a desepticon?" One of them said.
"Are you switching sides?! Awesome! You're huge how many blasters you have?! What's your alt mode?! Why are you switching sides!" Get to the organics level and this cause some of the bots to tense.
"Alright calm down, no I'm not joining the autobots I just don't have many options. Wars not my thing."
The youngest one came up to me.
"Then why join the war in the first place?"
I smile sadly, "maybe another time, I had to make may hard choices to survive and things were different back then"
The organic fem then butted in, "do you have an alt mode yet! Cause I think you need to be a monster truck! A (f/c) monster truck!"
Now it was my turn to tense up. Before I could say anything or be questioned further, " I believe for now this is enough questions, Bumblebee would you mind showing (y/n) around base" Optimus ushered Bumblebee forward. Even though  Bumblebee was confused he nod and we both went to tour the base.

(Arcee's POV)
"What was that about?" I looked up at Optimus, who looked at each one of us before stating, "(Y/n) is a monoformer, born without a transformation cog. I recognized her from old records I had managed to save from Iacon."
Optimus made his way towards the console and opened a file. "I had even met her before, though then I was Orion Pax."
"So what does this have to do with trusting her so easily, why let her near the kids and leaving her alone with bumblebee?" I couldn't believe this! Was he blinded by an image of a bot he knew long ago.
"As you know the caste system depended purely on your alt mode, without one you were viewed as problem to the counsel. It went against their beliefs, and proved the system to be wrong. Naturally they sought to destroy any evidence of her existence.
If it had not been for the intervention of a Gladiator, she would have surely died."
Ratchets eyes widen as he spoke, "Are you saying that Megatron was the one to save (y/n)".
"Yes though he intended to have her be a figure head to bring more followers, he never went though with it, though I do not know why" he then turns towards the kids. "So please refrain from bringing up altmodes around her, it may bring up bad memories"
Though this explained a bit it brought up new concerns. (Y/n) doesn't have any weapons. She can't hurt us but can't defend herself either. It does seem like she has a large amount of strength though from what Smokescreen tells us. Speaking of which he's looking pretty worried. Guess the kid has more emotions then just excited and obnoxious.
Optimus closes the file and address us again, "Even after all she has been through, she risked her own safety to save an enemy, to escape a war, and to still show kindness to those she could easily harm. I believe she can be trusted".
With that it seemed we all were going to have to get used to the large fem living with us.
