Star Wars: Transformers

More than meets the Eye

The autobots continued to drive up to their new companions.
Hot Rod caught up to the padawan and noticed something on her belt.

Hot Rod: So what's with you and the other two holding those cylinder things?

Ahsoka: You mean our lightsabers?

asking the Cybertronian, she had not expected the Autobot's voice to be heard while he was in vehicle mode.

Hot Rod: Yea them. How come you three got them but your friends?

Asking again, Hot Rod thought that he had seen them somewhere before; they certainly looked familiar.

Ahsoka: That's because we're Jedi.

Hot Rod: The term intrigued the young warrior, he moves closer to the young tortuga

Hot Rod: Jedi?

Ahsoka: Yea, we're peace keepers of the republic.

Ahsoka looked to her master who sighed and began to explain in greater detail.

Anakin: Whenever a situation arises anywhere in the Galaxy the Jedi are usually the ones who are sent to make sure that all conflicts are resolved peacefully. However, if not, then we are allowed to take aggressive actions either by using our lightsabers or our knowledge of the force.

Perceptor: The Force? Why, I have never heard of anything like that before! What is this 'the force'?

Perceptor, curious about it, as scientist like him would be.

Obi-Wan: The force is the essence that connects all living things to each other, it's what binds us, connects us to one another. It is what allows us to do things that others cannot.

Perceptor: No offense, but it sounds like superstitious nonsense if you ask me...

Perceptor was always an autobot that needed to see things before he could believe.

Ironhide: Right...and the Allspark isn't?

Ironhide called back sarcastically with a chuckle.

Cody: What's the Allspark?

Cody asked, curious of this.

Ironhide: Well I don't know if I can explain it the same way as Prime could, but it's where our sparks come from. It's the heart of our planet, Cybertron, and it's where our sparks go when our bodies are too banged up to keep us going.

Ironhide tried to explain as best as he could, but he wasn't as finessed as his oldest friend, Optimus Prime, was at explaining things.

Obi-wan and Anakin thought deeply about what the Autobots had just said. The way they described it. This Allspark seemed to be the source of how these giant machines are able to be as much alive, an organic life form like themselves, the clones, or any other species found in the Galaxy.

It certainly explained how the jedi were able to feel the living-force from them. Obi-wan still pondered as to why their new energy scanner was able to pick up the energy of the crystals from the Autobots.

Ironhide: So...how long have you all been on this planet? Is this where you became online?

Anakin: Actually we're here on a mission for the Republic.

Warpath: BLAM! What kind of mission is this to send those ships of yours?

The Jedi were perplexed as to why this autobot spoke like that.

Hot Rod: Don't mind Warpath, he's always been like that."

Warpath: HEY! What's the problem with the way I talk?
