Bulkhead’s engine rumbled with excitement as he pulled up to the base, the familiar sound of the ground bridge closing behind him. The team had gathered near the control console, waiting curiously. Optimus, Arcee, Bumblebee, and Ratchet stood expectantly, wondering what—or who—Bulkhead had brought along this time.

“Hey guys, I’ve got someone special to introduce to ya!” Bulkhead’s voice boomed with pride as he gently stepped aside.

Then you walked in.

The entire room fell into an almost eerie silence. Optics widened, jaws dropped, and even Ratchet, the ever-serious medic, froze mid-motion. For a few long, stunned moments, not a single bot spoke.

Finally, Bumblebee broke the silence with an excited series of beeps, his optics sparkling.

“She’s… adorable,” Arcee managed, her usual tough demeanor cracking as a soft smile spread across her face.

Optimus’ deep voice, usually calm and measured, was filled with a rare warmth. “It seems, Bulkhead, you have brought us a treasure.”

Ratchet’s optics softened, his usual grumpiness replaced by a quiet awe. “We’re going to need to reinforce the base… I have a feeling we’ll all be too busy spoiling her.”

Bulkhead laughed, giving you a gentle pat. “Told ya they’d love you, kid.”

And just like that, you had the entire Autobot team wrapped around your finger and you didn’t even know it.
