A (Slightly) Less Normal Life
Solarflare looked down at Jakov, not sure whether or not he should be annoyed by his eavesdropping. He decided not to.
"We're heading over there," he said. "Why do you ask?"

"Our future?" Warpath asked incredulously. "What, y'all are time travelers?"
"Ah, no," Bursa said, a little disappointed that the Autobot didn't get it. "We're the next generation of Transformers. In Cybertron's ongoing efforts to conserve energon, a new upgrade program has been introduced. We are the products of that program. We are more fuel-efficient than Autobot chassis, an are capable of taking on organic alternate modes. We are the Maximals."
"Um, 'k," Warpath said, still a little uncertain. "So, you're like Micromasters, then?"
"Absolutely not!" Truffler exclaimed in a wounded tone. "Our technology is hecka better than that!"
"Calm down, Truffler," Bursa said firmly. "Actually, Warpath, the Maximal Upgrade does have similar goals as the Micromaster Program. But, as Truffler so crudely put, ours is much improved over those old methods."
"I see," Warpath said in a tone that left some doubt as to how much he did see. "So... what brings you here, exactly?"
"Why, the Upgrade, of course," Bursa said. "It's been mandated by the Autobot High Council that all Transformers are to be upgraded. We've come to upgrade all of you."
