Ironhide paused and turned on his Comm.
:: Get cha twins ready, Prime says we're head'in out.:: Jazz commend.
::Roger.:: Ironhide responded. "What's going on?" Sideswipe said. "Get ready to go you two." Ironhide said. "Yes! A mission!" Sideswipe cheered. Searchlight placed the dull blade back in its holder. "Sorry you can't come." Sideswipe said grabbing Sunstreaker and heading for the door. "You may not be going but you can't stay in here." Ironhide said nudging her towards the door. "I'm pretty sure he isn't sorry." Searchlight said. "Sideswipe is never sorry." Ironhide said. Searchlight opened the door and walked through. Ironhide followed but paused at the door. "What's wrong?" Searchlight asked. "You run ahead I'm just locking the door." Ironhide said. Searchlight nodded and jogged down the corridor. She saw Optimus and a few other bots in the main room. Searchlight recognized Jazz, Sideswipe, and Sunstreaker but there were two others there. Optimus saw her and walked over to her. "Searchlight, I want you to come with us." Optimus said. She was stunned. "Me?" She asked. Optimus nodded. "Why? You don't know me that well how can you trust me?" Searchlight said. "I believe that to gain trust, you must give some first." Optimus said watching her with wise optics. She blinked. "Of course your coming!" Sunstreaker said suddenly behind her. "Alright then." Searchlight said grinning. "Hound, come here for a moment." Optimus called. A bulky green mech came over and glanced briefly at her. "What is it Prime?" Hound said. "I want you to teach Searchlight how to make a holoform." Optimus said. Hound nodded and turned to Searchlight. Optimus left to attend to other things. "First off, do you know anything about holoforms." Hound asked. Searchlight shook her helm. "Well they're basically human versions off us." Hound said. "So you transform into a human?" Searchlight said. "No, a holoform is a realistic projection." Hound said.
"So how do you make the holoform?" Searchlight asked. "Easy, here I'll show you." Hound said transforming into a military jeep. A second later an image fizzed into place in the drivers seat. Searchlight had to agree the holoform did look like Hound, it even had his beard and bulk. "Now you." Hound's holoform said. "I don't have a vehicle form." Searchlight said. Hound transformed back into his robot form. "That's easily fixed." Hound said leading her to a room. There were various cars lined up. "Pick one. Scan it. And then let's get back on track." Hound said. Searchlight looked over the cars and picked a black two door with a silver rim. After scanning, she shifted her body and molded into an identical car. "Nice choice, now just imagine yourself human. Searchlight concentrated and pictured small human digits and servos with a smaller body and helm. Her vision split and Searchlight found herself looking at a human femme with dark hair and blue eyes in one optic while her other optic was looking at herself. " Very realistic, good work." Hound said. Searchlight made her holoform smile and nod. She walked over and climbed into the driver's side.
::Let's move Autobs.::
Hound transformed into his jeep and drove out the door; Searchlight following.
