It was a sunny day in Jasper, Nevada. At the Autobots base, Hangar E, the human allies, Jack, Raf, Miko, June, and Agent Fowler, were relaxing in the cool AC air.

"Hey, Optimus? How long have you known Ratchet?" Miko asked, out of the blue.

Optimus, the leader of the Autobots, turned to Miko. "I have known Ratchet for many millennia, since we were sparklings." He answered, truthfully.

"What was he like, before the war?" Jack asked.

"He was happy, full of life." Optimus answered.

"Ratchet and happy in a sentence? Never thought I'd hear those two words together." Arcee commented.
