          “I feel lucky that youcould join us my friend.” Optimus kneeled down as well as he could, watchingthe smallest bot he’d ever seen. He had no idea where this mech had come fromor what even his purpose was. The small bot gave him a thumbs up and went backto practicing fighting moves. Optimus watched him for a while before venting and walking away.

           “What the slag is that?” Hound asked as the larger botwalked over, chewing loudly on his cigar.

           “It’s a bug.” Crosshairs snapped, shuddering. “Nastylookin’ thing.”

           “He is a warrior.” Prime gave his men the ‘disappointedleader look’.

           “He is not large enough to wield a weapon.” Drift put histwo cents in, balancing on top of a sword. Optimus sighed, turning to look attheir newest member. The small bot was doing his best but it was obvious thathe had never had any formal training. Bee whistled something that made Driftsend him an icy glare.

           “Keep your mouth closed bug, lest I do it for you.” Beesang something back, the two beginning to go at it. Hound let out a bellowinglaugh, egging them on. Crosshairs walked off, muttering about getting somepractice in. Optimus watched as the razor fell off of his rock, a squealescaping the tiny mechs mouth.
