The comm-unit within Rescue Bots Academy blared, echoing a distress signal emanating from an unidentified Cybertronian spacecraft, urgently seeking assistance. Despite the rough terrain, landing clearance was granted.

As the bot emerged from the vessel, their movements were unsteady, knees buckling beneath them. Their once pristine paintjob now bore scratches and chips, undoubtedly a result of the rough landing.

Yet, upon locking eyes with Perceptor, a wave of recognition swept over them. This bot held a significance Perceptor couldn't ignore—he had tirelessly scoured the cosmos countless times in search of this individual. And now, here they stood, battered and damaged, but alive, a testament to resilience.
