In about two weeks Optimus told us to get ready for the arrival of a new autobot. Everyone wondered how he looked like, or what his name was.Optimus gathered us all on the roof of the base where his stasis pod was to land. Because of the too large distance between Terra and Cybertron, all autobots or even decepticons had to travel in such ''pods'', in an induced stasis state. Within hours Ratchet received a signal from his capsule. He took the control over the software, set the coordinates and the speed of approaching the Earth, and now we only had to wait. I tried to get closer to Bumblebee, but it was clear that he didn't want to see me. It is clear that he is upset with me after the discussion he had with Optimus:

- Bee !!!

- UGH!? What do you want?

- I want to talk to you like two gentlemen! I think we are mature enough to have a calm and civilised discussion.

- So ...? What have I to do with you?

- Please. Don't be so rude.Bumblebee looked at Optimus, but he nodded and told him to go with me:

- All right, all right! But quickly.

- Great. We went back down in the base:

- Make it quick!. He said in an exasperated tone.
- Bee ... I think you and I can get along very well. You know, when I was younger I heard rumors about you. We were all talking at school about robots like you. What they would look like in reality. In my gang ... it was me, and two more friends. At that time some cartoons appeared, which reproduced you almost perfectly. One of my friends said he was Optimus, the other Smokescreen. I had to choose between Bulkhead, Ratchet and ... you. And I chose to represent you in that game. In fact, the name of the character in the cartoon was Wasper. At first I didn't like the idea, because I knew that you ... your voice ... is not. Incredibly, the story seems to have been true. But after a few months, I realized how strong a bus you are. It didn't matter that nobody understood you, but even the car you transformed into was beautiful ... URBANA 500 ... and to know that I like SUVs and OFF-ROADs more ...
- And then why didn't you choose to stress Bulkhead?
- If I tell you, do you promise not to tell anyone?
- Ok ...
- You promise?
- What do you mean?
-I mean ... you grab my little finger with one hand, me and you say "stay fingerless"
- Okay .
- Stay fingerless!. :))
- I didn't choose Bulkhead, because he seemed fat ...
- Ha hahahahahahahahahahahahaha ....... I haven't laughed like in such a long time. And you know, that I was thinking of telling him that he really is fat.
- Hey! You promised.
- Yes I know. I'm not going to tell him.
- So ... are we still friends?
- Yeah ... I don't know what to say ...
- Really???

- I was kidding ... We are friends.
- The same Bumblebee ... funny, as usual. Can we go up now? I'm sure that the new recruit has arrived. When I got on board, the ship of the new autobot just landed. After the smoke cleared I could see him. He was quite short compared to the other bots. Slightly taller than Arcee. His name was Buggy. Optimus entrusted me with the task of finding a suitable alt mode for Buggy. I wanted to go with Scorpion, but he was gone. Nobody knew where he was. But no one was worried about where he was because they knew he was going to go to the airport to train.
So I had to go with Bumblebee and Rafael:
- So where are you going to look for ? Raf asked me.
- The Car Rent shop.
- Classic. Bumblebee replied, laughing, then leaving a cloud of dust behind him.
- Why is it classic? What's going on there?
- It's classic, because in this city there are almost all car brands. We find this situation funny because Agent Fowler got vehicles for almost all the new members there.
- It seems that neither do I, an ordinary man, feel more inspired than an FBI agent.
- However, Optimus and Ultramagnus got their vehicle forms from special FBI trucks.

When we arrived, I wanted to rent  a Dune Buggy, to fit his name. But I couldn't  find one, so I went back to them, sad and disappointed.
- Nothing. I sighed, shrugging..
- No way!, you know that you can find everything at Car Rent. Raf said, smiling innocently.
- Really?!? . We need to check somewhere else.

- Raf  was sarcastic. I said you can find almost all the brands.
- Very funny Bumblebee.
- So where do you want me to take you. By the way, I'm not a taxi.
- Maybe? Nobody guarantees that you are not. :))
- Very funny Emi!
- Maybe we can find Dune Buggy at the beach. Rafael said as he adjusted his glasses.
- Rafael ... you're a genius. The beach!!!
- You are  like two little  kids!
- Bee, let's not exaggerate  it. Rafael is only 14 years old. No offense Raf.
When we arrived at the beach:
- Hello dear sir ... I introduced myself to the boy in charge of cars.
- Hi yo!
- I would like to rent a Dune Buggy for about 8 hours.
- I'm sorry bro, Dune Buggies are only rented for 6 hours. I turned my head toward Bee and Raf with an exasperated human figure. But even then an idea came to me.
- But my brother needs a doctor, and I can't get to the hospital, I need some wheels. At that moment I signaled Raf get down and lie on the ground .
- And who is your brother exactly?
- That one. I replied pointing to Raf.
- Why don't you take that yellow taxi?

- Dude, that is not a taxi. Do you give us the car or not?
- Okay, I'm making an exception. $ 800?
- HOW MUUCH?? $ 800?
- It's $ 100 per hour.

- Here!. And keep the change.

We took a white Dune Buggy with red stripes, took Raf and Bee and headed back to the base. When I arrived,  Buggy scanned  the Dune ~Buggy~. I wanted to talk to Scorpion. But he had not yet came back. It became very concerning.
