You were found in the middle of nowhere by Optimus after crash landing onto earth. He carefully looked over your frame, attempting to asses the damage you had sustained without moving you. Were you even alive? Optimus leaned down closer to your chestplate, locating your spark. There it sat nestled in your chasis, bright blue with energon. You were still alive.

"By the Allspark...! Hello-- can you hear me?"

Optimus gently calls out to you, hoping your audio processors were not damaged too severely. He gently moved your body so that you are laying in a more comfortable position. What had caused your pod to crash? And more importantly- how had you escaped Cybertron on your own?
