About a week later, Miko and bulkhead had did some chores around the base. Miko was on bulkheads shoulder. "Alright, chores are done. Now can we do some dune bashing?" Miko asked. "I don't know Miko, last time I spent a week picking sand out of my articulators. But there's a monster truck rally in town" he said. Rachet was examining Skywalker. He was able to build a giant ultrasound. "The Baby looks good for now sky. Just be careful" he said. "I will." Skywalker said. Rachet went to check the computer. "Optimus, I'm reciveing a signal in star space. It's An autobot identification beacon" Rachet said.

"So there are other bots out there?" Jack asked. "The masses scattered throughout the Galaxy when Cybertron finally went dark. But cons have been known to bait traps with false beacons." Arcee said. "Unknown vessel this is autobot Outpost Omega one, identify yourself!" Optimus said. "I've had warmer welcomes from Decepticon combat brigades" a voice said. "wheeljack?! You old con crusher what are you doing way out here?" Bulkhead asked. "Bulkhead? Is that you? What's with all the security?" He asked. "The rock were on is crawling with 'cons. How soon can you come to even the odds?" Bulkhead asked. "Sometime tomorrow, if I put the pedal to the metal" wheeljack said. "Another bots coming here" Miko said. "wheeljack? I know him by reputation only, Bulkhead, can you verify is voice print?" Optimus asked. "he is 1000% the real deal Optimus" bulkhead said. "We will send landing coordinance Wheeljack, safe journey" Optimus said. "I'll see you soon buddy, I'll make sure your given a proper welcome" bulkhead said.

"Another bot hu?" Skywalker asked. "I'm so excited." Miko said. "I am too, I haven't seen a bot land here since Optimus and the others" Skywalker said. "It's true" Optimus said. "So who is this boyfriend?" Arcee asked. "Oh Jackie and i go way back. We were part of the same war unit. The wreckers." Bulkhead said.

"Wreckers hu? That sounds fun" Skywalker said. "Which means the cons are gonna be sorry that he showed up" bulkhead said. Sky chuckled. Optimus came behind Skywalker and hugged her. "I love you" he whispered. "I love you too" she whispered back. Arcee, bumblebee, and bulkhead went to take the kids home for the night.

Skywalker and Optimus were in there room and Sky was looking at her stomach in a giant mirror. she was just beginning to show. "Honey, do you think I'm fat?" She asked. Optimus chuckled slightly. "Of course not. Your as lovely as ever" Optimus said. Skywalker smiled. "Thanks sweetie. You always know what to say." Skywalker said. Optimus put his hand on her stomach. "We need names" Optimus said. "Well, I always wanted a son named Orion." Skywalker said. "Why Orion?" Optimus asked. "after the start constellation in the sky" Skywalker said. Optimus looked down but was smiling. "Why not name it Orion pax then. After his father" Optimus suggested. "Orion pax? Your name is Optimus prime" Skywalker said. Optimus sighed. "I wasn't always a prime. Before I was a prime I was a simple archivist in the iacon hall of records. My name was Orion pax. My mentor, Alpha Tryon, helped me after Megatron began showing his true colors. I was given the matrix of leadership by Primus himself" Optimus said. "Whoa. Why didn't you tell me before?" Skywalker asked. "Not everyone knows. Rachet is one bot who does because we've been friends since I was born." Optimus said. Skywalker nodded. "Alright, so if we have a boy, his name will be Orion pax. What about a girl?" Skywalker asked. "There are so many names. We just need something that will sound good." Optimus said. "Hm... If she's a flyer, windshear could work maybe." Sky suggested. "Hm.. I think I like windblade better" Optimus said. "Windblade? I like it. So if it's a girl, no matter what, her name will be Windblade" Skywalker said "perfect"

The next day the kids were getting excited about the arrival of Wheeljack. They were tracking his ship. He would land in Egypt and they would ground bridge him to base. That way the cons couldn't find the autobot base.

Bulkhead was pacing back and forth. "Dude, I've never seen you so stoked" Miko said. "Oh, you are going to love Jackie." Bulkhead said. A sensor went off saying Decepticons were on his tail. Rachet tried to fire up the ground bridge. He had to hit it to make it work. "I'll prepare sick bay" rachet said. "For who? The 'cons? This is Wheeljack we are talking about" bulkhead said. Everyone but sky and Optimus went though.

After several minutes, bulkhead, bumblebee, and Arcee came back with a white, red, and green bot. "Wheeljack, meet my other best buddy, Miko" bulkhead said. "You keeping bulkhead out of trouble?" Wheeljack asked. "I try, but trouble finds us anyways" Miko said. "were going to get along just fine." Wheeljack said with a smile.

"Optimus prime. Is a privilege" he said. "like wise soldier. What have you to report?" Optimus asked. "Going from rock to rock looking for friend or foe, now I find both." Wheeljack said. "We welcome you to earth Wheeljack. I'm Skywalker. Optimus' wife." Skywalker said. "Wife? I didn't know you were married sir" he said. "Yes. She's been a valuable member of the team." Optimus said. "I see" Wheeljack said. Sky had a weird feeling about Wheeljack.

Later that night they threw a party for Wheeljack. But Optimus left because he didn't party. Miko was playing her guitar. Skywalker brought out her guitar too. "Come on Raf, show us some moves" Miko said. "oh. All right" Raf said. He stood up and began doing the robot. "Of course, the robot" jack said with a laugh. Bumblebee fallowed Raf's lead.

Soon everyone was gathered around bulkhead listening to stories of battles that he and Wheeljack were in together. Wheeljack was quiet though the whole thing. "Hey you alright?" Bulkhead asked. "What do you mean?" Wheeljack asked. "Your not acting like your self" bulkhead said concerned. "Oh, been stuck in a can to long. I need to go top side." Wheeljack said. "I have patrol in the morning, you can come with" bulkhead suggested. "Let's go now" Wheeljack said. "And break up the party? Come on, they are loving you. You got to tell them about the battle of dark Mount pass" bulkhead said.

"You tell it, your better at it. How about Miko here shows me the rest of the base" Wheeljack said. "tour starts now" Miko said. Then she started asking Wheeljack all sorts of questions.

"You alright bulkhead?" Arcee asked. "yeah just, uneasy." Bulkhead said. He started to explain that there was something not right with  Wheeljack and that he was a bot who never change.

Wheeljack and Miko came back. Bulkhead demanded that Wheeljack tell about the battle of dark Mount pass. Wheeljack was trying not too but eventually did. "Is that how it went?" Wheeljack asked after he finished the story. "yeah, that's exactly how it went. Except for one minor detail. I wasn't there!" Bulkhead said sternly. Everyone gasped. "I had joined up with Optimus by then, but you wouldn't know that if you just looked up wheeljack's records" Miko didn't quite understand. The con picked up Miko and his voice changed. "Stay back, or the girl gets it." He said.

"Wheeljack, what's going on?" Miko asked. "Decepticon scum" bulkhead said. "Is there a real Wheeljack?" Jack asked. "Quite, I suspect Lord Starscream is making scrap out of him" the intruder said. "who are you?" Skywalker asked. "Like I tell you." Skywalker smirked and scanned him. Alittle something rachet installed in her. "makeshift" she said. He was shocked.

Makeshift eventually opened the ground bridge. He was trying to back away into it when the real Wheeljack kicked him down. The two fought. The real Wheeljack was the winner. Bulkhead threw makeshift into the ground bridge and closed it after that. Skywalker was relieved.

The next day they were trying to convince Wheeljack to stay. But Wheeljack wanted to see if he could find some of the old crew. His ship that he called the jackhammer was fixed. Optimus and sky told him he would always have a safe haven on Earth. Bulkhead went to say goodbye to his friend. Skywalker and Optimus stayed behind. When they cake back, bulkhead was in good spirits. They wondered what there next crazy adventure would be.
