War of the Past (Reader Insert)

The Web

"Log-Date: 8-5-12: It's been a month since I arrived and when I met the Maximals. Since that, my only means of shelter was destroyed, but they allowed me to live with them in their ship which is called the Axalon. I have made some friends here, which kind of act like a weird family despite knowing them for a short time. Here's what I've gathered so far."

"The first one that I met is Cheetor; one with a cheetah alt-mode. In the family aspect, he is like the youngest brother who tries to prove that he can be responsible, and seeks validation, he's also kinda reckless, but funny. Ever since he found out about the Italian language, he's been wanting me to teach him, annoying me to the point until I agree. I don't know whether or not I should laugh or be angry at every word he got wrong. And I don't know if I should tell him about me knowing German, 'cause Rattrap knows. And weirdly enough, in exchange for not telling Cheetor and teaching him, he offered to eat my garbage? Although I'm not against the idea to get rid of my trash another way, I find it weird."

"Anyways, speaking of Rattrap -- one with a rat alt-mode -- he is like the middle child that is sometimes bark and no bite; taking into consideration of his slight cowardness, but he is still a good ally and friend, who comes up with funny remarks. For some reason, when I teach him German, I always imagine that rat from the Cuphead game and the Cuphead show; don't tell him I said that, I don't know what his reaction would be if he found out who that is. He is the shortest one out of the Maximals here, but he is only 2 meters taller/7 feet taller than me. I hate it."

"The next one is Rhinox -- one with a rhinoceros alt-mode -- who I believe is the second-in-command and the heavy lifter of the team. With his beast-mode, he might as well have the strength of a semi-truck running you over, backing up, and running you over again. He is like the oldest child that is the main person with responsibility. He's also good in inventing and a good teacher because I asked him if he could teach me to read their language so then I can build a gun and other things from Cybertronian schematics. That way, I won't be confused when looking at something that looks like algebra that got possessed by a Latin demon and might as well have gotten a lobotomy in the process."

"Up next, we have the other newest addition to the group, besides myself, is Dinobot; one with a velociraptor alt-mode. He used to work with Megatron and the other Predacons, before he was kicked out for challenging Megatron's leadership. He's had his ups and downs with the group -- mainly downs-- and almost crushing one of us with a stalactite in the process with his laser eyes. But, it's fine; everyone makes mistakes! At least he has honor, because that was the only reason Optimus is still here."

"And finally, we have the big man himself, Optimus Primal -- one with a silver-backed gorilla alt-mode -- the father-figure of the group. He cares for his team, and he always gives an order that he would be willing to do himself; His words, not mine. He's the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for the sake of others. How chivalrous of him. He can also pack quite the punch from what I've seen."

"This is all I have to say for now. End of log."

I sighed before the door to the main room opened up in front of me, and I walked through. "Good work, Rhinox!" Optimus congratulated. "Well, it still needs a field test." Rhinox informed. "'Test'?" Cheetor asked, his voice echoing from the hall before he quickly ran into the room in beast-mode, landing on the table. "I'm your Bot, whatcha got?" He questioned.

"Rhinox cobbled together a new comm-link. It's going to solve our long-range communication problems." Optimus informs. "If it works." Rhinox added. "Well, let's find out!" Cheetor stated, snatching the device out of Rhinox's hand. He took a close look at it, with bits of static electricity coming from the top of it. "Wow, ultra-gear."
