Another day has shined once more in Cybertron as you all gathered in front of the fighting ring of Kaon. You stood beside Optimus as he gives his speech in front of everyone as you both hold your signature weapons.

"We have endured bitter hardships and countless battles. But at long last, our home planet has been restored. We would not be standing in cybertronian soil, for the efforts of those who are here and our absent comrades. Ratchet, who remained on earth to safeguard our human allies. And Cliffjumper, who made the ultimate sacrifice." Optimus said, noticing Arcee had her head down after hearing about Cliffjumper. "But on this day, at the dawn of a new era, we've gathered to bestow a special honor, one earned by Bumblebee, through his bravery and devotion to the cause of peace. Not long before he read this universe of the scourge, of the decepticon warmonger."

"In the company of your fellow Autobots, and in the company of Primus, the living core of our planet. And by the authority invested in us as Prime and by the matrix of leadership." You said as Optimus tapped his shoulder plates with the Star Saber. "Bumblebee, a rise. A warrior." You and Optimus said at the same time.

Everyone gathered around the new warrior, congratulating him for earning his metal. You smiled at the sight that your best friend, no longer a scout, but now a warrior.

"Let's get this party started." Wheeljack said as he pressed a button on his remote, causing the statue of Megatron crumble and get destroyed.

Wheeljack and Bulkhead chassis bump as you went forward to join them. Smokescreen playfully smacked Bumblebee at the back, only to welcome him.

"Welcome to the club, Bee." He said, "Warrior today, who knows, Prime tomorrow."

You cough at that to make him stop, mostly getting both him and Bee's attention.

"Slow down, Smokey. I don't want a Prime's responsibility on anyone." Bee said, reassuring you.

You just smiled and shook your head a bit. Soundwave inter-twined his digits with yours as he held your servo gently. You smiled more at his movement.

"I am sorry to cut your celebration..." Optimus said.

"Here it comes." Arcee said

"Primes never party.....well, one of them at least." Bulkhead said.

"...but I must take my lead of you." Optimus finished.

"Sir, May I ask you why?" Ultra Magnus asked

"Though Cybertron is capable to support life, it is incapable of generating new lives. Not until I return to what cause all life on Cybertron. The Allspark." Optimus said

"You mean, it isn't here?" Smokescreen asked

"Nor hasn't been, Smokey. Not for thousands of years." You said

"As Cybertron reaches its tipping point and that the decepticon army has grown unstoppable. I was asked to safeguard the Allspark, by simply sending it to a different sector of the galaxy." Optimus said as he raised his servo to chassis. "The Matrix of Leadership will enable me to guide us to its present location."

"Then what are we waiting for, let's take the warship and bring it back." Bumblebee said

"Bee, that is too risky." You said, "We can't just leave Cybertron unprotected nor unsecured. Remember that Shockwave and Starscream are still out there." You explained

"Not to mention our stray Predacon." Ultra Magnus said

"Ultra Magnus, you will be in charge of patrols to capture the remaining decepticon refuge." Optimus said, "Bulkhead, you'll be leading the construction, build a landing base for our returning refugees. Wheeljack, I will need your expertise in navigating deep space."
