Ruby (TFP)

After arriving on Earth, the autobots find themselves needing a place to call home while they worked to rebuild and figure out their next move. They met a human working for the government willing to assist the bots in finding a place they could use. The man soon gives them the coordinates to a former missile silo, and all the autobots agreed that this location was suitable.

But inside the silo, a sad discovery was made. The skeletal remains of a dragon was found, something that Fowler was not expecting. Upon learning that dragons had been believed to be either extinct or hiding for two hundred years, this was like seeing a ghost. Especially when there was a dragon egg that had been orphaned due to the death of the dragon.

However, as if by coincidence, this egg hatches before Agent Fowler and the autobots. An innocent, cute, tiny creature that was almost the same size as a human from the time of hatching was something the autobots did not expect. Nor did they expect that this little dragon would imprint on Optimus and believe that he is her mother. As a new born, she has no knowledge of what she is, or what the autobots are, and while this was a shock to Optimus at first, he is unwilling to have the dragon removed with the prospect that she would not survive.

Which meant, they all had to learn. Especially once this young finds her feet and energy, and ensures that all the autobots were using up their energon to keep up with her. With the help of Agent Fowler, they all learn about caring for a baby dragon. And they have to learn fast.
