You

I'm blonder than I remember.

You are (probably) a human from Earth. You sometimes get caught up in the dealings of extraterrestrial mechanical lifeforms known as the Transformers. You often get recruited by the heroic Autobot faction to help in their struggle against the evil Decepticons.

Sideways has nothing kind to say about your mother. Slug also has nothing kind to say about you, though he rarely says anything kind about anyone.

[edit]
The following summarizes one or more multipath adventures. Details vary depending on the paths taken in-story. See the book's page for information on alternate paths.
Dinobot War
[edit]

A mishap with a buried alien flying saucer at Disneyland (maybe) sent you back in time. You (might have) met the Dinobots and (probably) helped save the Autobots from being murdered while they lay dormant in the Ark. Dinobot War

Peril from the Stars
[edit]

You (likely) helped Jazz prevent Starscream getting his hands on a space-borne weapons capsule. Peril from the Stars

Island of Fear
[edit]

Some reports place you being eaten by a leopard while mixed up in a confrontation between Dirge and some Mini-Autobots. Island of Fear

Highway Clash
[edit]

You were (perhaps) thrust into the deadly struggle between Megatron and Optimus Prime as they fought over a lorry-load of microchips. Highway Clash

Swamp of the Scorpion
[edit]

During another deadly struggle into which you were thrust, you (apparently) encountered Highbrow and Skullcruncher in a swamp. You were also a Nebulan. Swamp of the Scorpion

Desert of Danger
[edit]

At some unspecified point in the space future you (definitely) secured employment co-piloting an interstellar cargo ship and (most likely) got mixed up in the seedy underworld of Nebulan nightclubs and Transformer-smuggling. Luckily one of the Transformers you smuggled was a lot friendlier than the other and together you (presumably) prevented the reactivation of some ancient Decepticon robotic infantry. Desert of Danger

Find Your Fate Junior

[edit]
The following summarizes one or more multipath adventures. Details vary depending on the paths taken in-story. See the book's page for information on alternate paths.
Dinobots Strike Back
[edit]
For this adventure, you are mostly removed from the story; you are not portrayed as a character that interacts with anyone, and your decisions are attributed to characters in the story.

In the event that Swoop prevented the Dinobots from going on a mind-controlled rampage, and subsequently lost his memory via a bop to the head, you were the only one to remember the events that transpired on the day the Dinobots were guarding Hidden Valley. Dinobots Strike Back

Battle Drive
[edit]
For this adventure, you are mostly removed from the story; you are not portrayed as a character that interacts with anyone, but you are held accountable for the decisions you make throughout the story. As such, you are either scolded or congratulated by the book's narrator depending on what fate you cause to befall onto mankind and the Autobots.

In one of the possible sequence of events, you tried to save the Autobots from an ambush by writing in a book. This came far closer to working than logic would suggest. In an alternate adventure, you wake up suddenly in the middle of a wild chase between Prowl and the Decepticons, realizing that the adventure up to now had been a dream. But if it was a dream, what were you doing in the book wearing your pyjamas?Battle Drive

This book implies that by making some decisions quicker, you may increase your chances of success. No matter at which speed decisions are made, however, the outcomes remain the same.
Desert Flight
[edit]
For this adventure, you are mostly removed from the story; you are not portrayed as a character that interacts with anyone, and your decisions are attributed to characters in the story.

In one possible sequence of events, Megatron's anti-gravity device hit your neighbourhood, sending you and everyone else on Earth to float helplessly out into space.

You also had the power to turn back time once, by holding up a page up to a mirror. Doing so prevented the Autobots from being vaporized by a neutron bomb. Desert Flight

Decepticon Poison
[edit]
For this adventure, you are mostly removed from the story; you are not portrayed as a character that interacts with anyone, but you are held accountable for the decisions you make throughout the story. As such, you are either scolded or congratulated by the book's narrator depending on what fate you cause to befall onto mankind and the Autobots.

In one possible scenario, you are the only human who came to know how closely the Decepticons came to poisoning the water supply, turning all humans into mindless Decepticon slaves. And you would keep that secret to yourself until the end.

In another possible path, wherein Prowl's actions caused the Autobots to die a slow agonizing death while the Decepticons readied to turn humanity into mindless slaves by poisoning their water supply, Prowl wished you had picked a different path. As did you, as you and everyone you knew would soon become a mindless drone.

In yet another possible path, where you got Bumblebee to be tortured by Laserbeak to death, you were asked whether you felt awful for your bad decision. Decepticon Poison

Autobot Alert!
[edit]
Autobot Alert! treats your nature as a participant in the story differently depending on which story paths are taken. In one main story branch, you are treated as not being actually present as the story occurs.

In one possible scenario, Hot Rod used Perceptor's latest invention, a “rapid-fire, high-intensity rifle cannon” to take out Cyclonus. The blast was so powerful that it knocked you to the floor, despite you just reading about it in a book!

In another scenario, you were reflexively about to bow down to Galvatron's image on the TV screen, (after he demanded you do so) before being prompted not to by the book.

In another story branch, you are treated as an active participant in the events that unfold. You are most likely an Autobot under the command of Ultra Magnus in this story branch, instead of the assumed “default” of being a human swept up in the Autobots’ adventures.

In one possible scenario, you present when an Autobot Alert rang out throughout Metroplex. You learned of two Decepticon plots simultaneously occurring. One of which was the theft of a coded message meant for Ultra Magnus's eyes only. If Ultra Magnus decided to prioritize theft of the coded message, you were part of the captive audience that listened to Kup divulge information about an ancient Autobot formula. You then took off towards the Autobots’ desert research centre along with a number of other Autobots. Once there, you and the rest of the Autobots learned from Springer that the cybertite sphere containing the formula was discovered by humans during the 16th century. If the Decepticons had decoded Springer's message, they would be searching off the coast of California, where the ship containing the sphere had sunk. If they hadn't decoded the message, the Decepticons would still be digging in the nearby crater.

If Ultra Magnus decided to assume that the Decepticons had already decrypted the message, he ordered his forces to split up to more efficiently address the situation. You were part of the main group of Autobot forces led by Ultra Magnus towards the California coast. Arriving at the scene, Ultra Magnus's troops were informed by Powerglide (who had flown ahead of the land-bound group) that he had discovered the location of the sunken ship containing the cybertite sphere. Simultaneously, Blurr caught up with the group to inform them that the Decepticons were quickly approaching. Ultra Magnus called upon you, one of his most trusted advisors to make a critical decision. He asked you whether the Autobots should attempt to raise the sunken ship themselves, or to hide and ambush the Decepticons once they had done it themselves? Whether the Autobots succeeded or failed from this point on depended on the actions of other Autobots. Autobot Alert!

While biking, you came upon a cave with a shimmering mist within. Intrigued, you wandered inside, only to find yourself stumbling through a field of star, plummeting towards a rocky planet. You lost consciousness, and reawakened, only to find yourself emerging from a different ave altogether. Around the entrance, looking down towards you were the Autobots Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod, Springer, Sandstorm and Ratchet. Together you embarked on a journey to fix their downed spacecraft while fighting the Combaticons, Cyclonus and Galvatron. Whether or not you succeeded depending on your decisions and you cunning, speed, and strength. The Transformers Sticker Book

Calm Sleep Stories

[edit]

You allowed the weary Autobots to rest behind your home. For your troubles, Optimus Prime regaled you in soothing tones with an explanation of the Autobot-Decepticon War, how transformation works, other Autobots on his team, and their first encounter with a drive-in movie. He also thanked you for being a kind, and generous person. History of the Transformers Some time later, you again offered your residence to the Autobots, unknowingly quelling an argument between Bumblebee and Ironhide. In gratitude, Optimus told you of how the disagreement had started, along with a story of how he and Jetfire reconstructed the Benevolous Bridge on Cybertron. Building Bridges with Optimus Prime

Web of Deception

[edit]

A boat ride you were enjoying with Sari on Lake Erie was interrupted by a torpedo attack, which you were saved from by Bumblebee and Prowl. It turned out that Optimus had been kidnapped, so you, Sari and the rest of the Autobots tracked the culprit, Lockdown, into an underwater cave system. There you discovered that he'd kidnapped Prime for Blackarachnia, who intended to turn the Autobot into a techno-organic, however you soon had her defeated. Web of Deception

Hunt for the Decepticons

[edit]

You were recruited to the Autobot cause to help track down the Decepticons still at large on Earth. After assisting Bumblebee in capturing Axor in Shanghai, Optimus sent you to Paris to take down Terradive. You were issued an "Autobot training facility issued fighter" to take to the skies after the Decepticon, and were able to send him plummeting down after making good use of your jet's weapons. You were next sent to South America to stop Starscream from plundering energy from a mine. With a blaster and forcefield in hand, you were able to send this Decepticon fleeing. Pleased with your success rate, Optimus then inducted you into the Autobots, and taught you the history of the Cybertronian civil war. In preparation for your next mission, a fight against Megatron himself, the Autobots trained you in a variety of skill sets. You improved your speed under Sideswipe's supervision, increased your strength with Ironhide, honed your dexterity skills with Ratchet, and practiced with firearms with Bumblebee. Once you had completed your training, Optimus received word that Megatron was planning to attack New York City in retaliation for many of his troops having recently been defeated. You were sent out to deal with the Decepticon threat once more, and succeeded in driving Megatron away, once more via the help of your trusty shield and blaster. With this task completed, Optimus recalled you to Autobot headquarters so that he and his troops could thank you personally for your contributions to the Autobot cause. You were also invited to continue using their secret training facility if you wished to do so. Hunt for the Decepticons

Transformers: The Ride – 3D

[edit]

Upon enlisting as a new N.E.S.T. recruit, you were assigned to work with the new Autobot Evac and entrusted to transport the last shard of the AllSpark to a safe location from the Decepticons. However, Ravage broke into the base you and Evac were stationed at and stole the AllSpark, clawing at you before retreating. After Bumblebee retrieved the shard and gave it back to you and Evac, the two of you took off in the city, where Optimus Prime was waiting to guide you both to safety, only for Megatron to then arrive and attack.

As you and Evac tried to get away, several Decepticons gave chase to you both. Despite assistance from Sideswipe, you and Evac were pulled into Devastator's Vortex Grinder, only surviving thanks to Evac shielding you both at the last moment. But just as you emerged unharmed, Starscream grabbed the both of you by his grappling hook. Flung into a building by the airborne Decepticon, you and Evac encountered Optimus and Megatron locked in battle. Bravely, Evac charged at Megatron, taking you with him, and sent all three of you plummeting down the building after Evac disabled Megatron with the AllSpark shard.

Thankfully, you and Evac were caught by Bumblebee at the last second, saving you from smashing against the pavement. Optimus congratulated the two of you on a job well done, and Evac took you back to N.E.S.T. headquarters, saying that you can ride with him anytime. Transformers: The Ride – 3D
