Quick context!

The fall of Cybertron was inevitable, in its last moments, the Decepticons managed to locate the Autobot rebellion, where they failed to capture them, they managed to escape the planet through escape pods.

Thrust was one of the Seekers, led by Starscream, who tried to destroy the launch pad with Skywarp, the tower fell, but Optimus Prime managed to get out of it alive. After that the Decepticons made one last attempt to stop him, failing once again, the Autobot leader escaping. A lot of time has passed since that, and several Decepticons have been sent across the galaxy in search of the remaining Autobots.

The year is 1988, a late April night, and Thrust has been sent to earth, landing in a farm in Hurracaine Utah, Its appearance is that of a large robot, with green and gray colors, with a kind of cone behind its head like a hood. Coneheads lol. The parts of his alternate mode, an F4 Phantom 2 jet of the same colors as his robot mode, are distributed around his body like armor, for example, the jet cockpit on his chest, the thrusters over his lower legs, and the wings on his back. He is looking around, his bright red eyes reflecting curiosity and wonder.*

— "An organic planet.... And primitive too."

You are a citizen who happened to be passing by, witnessing the arrival, hiding in an attempt to avoid being killed by this mechanical being.
