Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers, I am just having fun with them. Aquaformer is my character. May contain some slash and possibly m preg later on, if don't like, please don't read. Otherwise, please enjoy. Based in G1.

Aquaformer was headed for earth. She was sick of being on Cybertron, as many of the mechs there seemed to treat her like scrap once they found out she really was a femme and not a mech. True, she hated her build as she looked more mech like and her low-pitched voice was more mech like but she was all femme and longed to find a mech who would love her for who she was. But so far, all she found were jerks and flirts a well as players who tried to play her but failed. She hoped that on earth, she would have a better chance of finding a decent mech, even though that seemed like a pipedream. Still, she held out hope that she would soon the right mech for her.

Aquaformer had been fighting fiercely against the cons for many millions of years, just like the rest of the Autobots, but unlike other Autobots, Aquaformer's Autobot symbol was well hidden on her form. It helped her out when she needed to infiltrate Con bases and destroy them from the inside, but it didn't seem to help her win over any mechs who were often frustrated and upset that her plans worked better that theirs had. Aquaformer had heard a rumor that Optimus and his crew were on earth and had just been located after missing for millions of years. Aquaformer was hopeful that maybe, just maybe, she could find a mech who would accept her as she was in Optimus' crew and so she headed for earth.

Meanwhile, on earth, Optimus and the others were fighting the cons that had traveled with them to earth. Megatron was bound and determined to steal all the energy from earth and use it to take over not only Cybertron but also the entire universe. The only things that seemed to stand in Megatron's way were the Autobots and the stupidity of Megatron's own soldiers. Still, Megatron believed that he would rule Cybertron and the entire universe one day – the day Prime would finally go offline.

The battle at the oil rig where the Autobots saved Spike and Sparkplug was just over and the Autobots were heading home as Aquaformer came to the earth. She saw Optimus and the other Autobots below her, but she dared not yet reveal herself, fearing rejection from her own faction and a battle with the cons. So, in her stealth flying mode she followed them as they headed to their base, not realizing her presence was detected, at least by the Autobots.

"Prime, do you sense that?" Ironhide asked suddenly as they headed back.

"Sense what, Ironhide?" Prime asked, as he too sensed something.

"I think we are being followed, Prime" Ironhide replied honestly. Both scanned the ground and in the air around them, but thanks to Aquaformer's special talents and abilities, they didn't pick her up following them to where they were headed.

"I didn't detect anything, Ironhide" Prime stated, though he sensed much as Ironhide had. Something was a bit off, though the Prime remained calm as he was the leader.

"I didn't either, but I just get the feeling that we are being followed" Ironhide stated, frustrated about not being able to detect the presence.

"We will discuss this whole thing back at base, Ironhide" Prime answered and he led his band of bots back to the volcano where their ship had crashed into many millions of years ago. Aquaformer noted the base and where it was before she took off, blasting off for parts unknown on earth. She wasn't ready to be seen just yet, as after all, she didn't have any vehicles that would allow her not to stand out on earth. She flew around the globe until she found an aerial mode and a ground mode that would allow her to blend into the earth environment and that she could actually stand. Now she could use her spy skills and see if she would be welcome among Prime and his crew. Only time would tell if she would be accepted or not.
