The allies shook servos, "Nothing much. Just kicking around some tailpipe, you know how it is." Windblade shrugged.

"Been a while, hasn't it?" Strongarm asked as she came to them as well.

"Time flies quickly with all of the duties you need to fulfill." Drift replied, "My students have not stopped asking when we would arrive. They've been quite impatient during our travel." he extended his arms for the mini-cons to transform.

Once they converted into their robot modes, they landed on the floor and beamed at the red mech with delight, "Sideswipe!"

"Jet! Slip!" the taller Cybertronian smiled and kneeled to pat their helms, "What's up, ya missed us much?"

"We must admit it was a bit of a tedious journey without the presence of our old teammates." Jetstorm responded.

Another figure approached near where they were gathered, Strongarm lifted her helm and her optics widened when she recognized the wide figure, "Is that...?" the other's gazes fell to the direction she was staring at, only to see Ultra Magnus coming their way, she quickly straightened up her posture and saluted, "Cadet Strongarm at you your service, sir!"

The commanding officer lifted his servo, "At ease, cadet. Glad to see you are keeping things in order." he gave Sideswipe a suspicious glance, "And I suppose this young mech hasn't been putting you in too much trouble?"

The red robot looked at him completely puzzled, "Wha-?!"

"Eh, sometimes." Strongarm shrugged with a small smile, "But I can handle him."

"Oh, come on!" Sideswipe offensively exclaimed and lifted his arms in the air, the group chuckled at his reaction.

Bumblebee cleared his vocalizer to grab everyone's attention, "Bots and humans, I would like to introduce you to each other. Girls, these are Ultra Magnus, Windblade, Drift, Jetstorm, Slipstream and Wheeljack." afterwards, he gestured to the teenagers, "Team, meet our human friends, Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie." the dog barked, "Sorry. And Spike." the young leader added.

In the meantime, Pinkie was sitting near Smokescreen's neck, she peeped down at the two new mini-cons and cupped her cheeks, "Aww! You two are so adorable!" she turned to the samurai and the winged femme with a wide grin, "Are they your sons?"

Windblade swiftly looked away and covered her intake, letting out a snort. Drift tightened his grip around the handle of his katana and ex-vented, "My mini-cons." he corrected sternly, glaring at the pink human.

The element of laughter stared at him confused and lowered her hands, "Oh."

At that moment, Wheeljack was standing a bit further from the Autobots, leaning his back on the wall with crossed arms, examining the humans. When his optics landed on the fashionista, she turned, only to be greeted by the wrecker who winked at her, "Nice to meet ya, sunshine."

Rarity shot him an affronted look in return, "Excuse me?!"

"Wheeljack please," Ratchet scolded and glared at the mech, "Do not start messing with our new members."

"Relax doc, a small tease won't hurt anyone." the wrecker chuckled and placed his servo on his associate's shoulder-pad.

"No, but you will most certainly annoy them to death." the medic grumbled and shoved his arm, "And don't call me doc."

Rainbow decided to step closer to the new femme. Windblade felt her presence and lowered her helm, noticing the amazed gape of the human, "Whoa- you look awesome!" the teen complimented while observing her frame and wings.
