The whole time the two were interacting Bloodshock had merely followed, keeping at close speeds to Wheeljack but also keeping enough distance between them. He really didn't know what the two might be talking about but for the most part through the back of Wheeljack's rear window he could tell they were talking, and Newt seemed to be shocked about something. Of course what it was he had no clue and could only hope she wasn't too shocked whatever it was.
Before he could really see much more Wheeljack's windows darkening made Bloodshock a little wary, wondering if maybe he was hiding something. But what did he have to hide? From what bloodshock had heard of the inventor was one of the kindest on the Autobots, and he had heard some things of the mech having a soft spot towards younglings. Bloodshock could be overreacting, which sometimes he was always alert at times like these and getting closer to the enemy base made him utterly nervous.
Though he was mainly concerned for someone on his faction discovering that he was trying to change sides, redeem himself for his past deeds. But if the Decepticons did discover this Bloodshock could very well know he could be used as a tool to get information and yet there was one Decepticon likely already to know what he was doing. {"Soundwave I'm praying you have some kindness in you and that you don't tell old megs."} He thought.

Optimus had heard the first com-link from Wheeljack and was taking a little bit while they traveled to finish his training session. After he finally came to the end he retracted his blades before stretching slightly, then headed out of the training yard to wait for Wheeljack and this new bot. But soon he was hearing from Wheeljack of bringing a civilian, which always concerned Optimus since it meant one other person caught up in this war and likely to be at risk. But there was likely a good reason and Optimus was willing to hear out what was going on.
<"I'll be waiting for the three of you at the gate Wheeljack.">He responded as he transformed down to his alternate form, rolling up slowly towards the gate but keeping some distance so they could enter without worry. He just wondered who this transformer could be and how old this civilian was, sometimes they were young or old, some were scared and others seemed to be ready to take part. None the less it still concerned Optimus to no end when the humans took part.

Wheeljack acknowledged Optimus' reply and his nanoform smiled warmly at Newt. "Well, you'll see soon enough, Optimus is meeting us at the gate. Trust me, you'll know it's him, just look for the big red and blue flamed truck." he told her. It wasn't long before he rounded the turn and approached the gate. He slowed down then, rolling through the gate and flashing his headlights to quietly announce his arrival. He saw Optimus sitting nearby and drove over towards the big rig, coming to a stop in front of his leader. He lets his nanoform dissipate again and waits for the other mech to join them.

Newt was both nervous and excited at this point. A perfectly normal evening of nothing had turned into a crazy adventure with her meeting two robots from outer space! What more could a kid ever wish for? The blonde kept the grin on her face as Wheeljack commented that she would know Optimus when she saw him, she nodded her head and looked outside of the windows, eager to meet the Autobot's leader, but also nervous about it. After all, he was the leader of the Autobots, so she would definitely make sure that she was on her best behavior for him.
Suddenly Wheeljack pulled into the gate at NEST, flashing his headlights at the one and only blue and red flamed semi truck. Newt stared in awe at Optimus's alternate mode, "Woah..." Was all she could say as she marveled at the semi. She had no idea why she was so spell bound by these new aliens that she had just met, but something about them just kept on drawing her in. Was it their advanced disguising techniques? Or the fact that they were alien? Newt didn't quite know, but her mind was thirsting for knowledge on these guys, and she hoped that she could have most of her questions answered.

Bloodshock followed Wheeljack, growing a little more anxious as they came upon the base and parked a little nearby the Mustang, watching the blue and red flamed semi truck for a moment. From what he had heard that was what described the Autobot leader's form and it made him inwardly shudder, still unsure of how this would go altogether but there was no turning back now. But the mech seemed to be waiting patiently for something and Bloodshock just sitting there didn't help with his anxiety.
With a deep sigh he transformed on the spot, rolling his shoulders as he glanced at the two transformers from behind his visor, his face completely hidden from their view. Which he was glad for since his expression would have given away his nervousness where as outwardly now he showed he was calm.

Watching as the two cars drove up, Optimus was silent the whole time until they actually drove through the gate to stop close near him. Yet for a moment he remained there quietly, waiting to see if this soon to be ex-decepticon would make a move first and before the Autobot leader made any movements Bloodshock was soon transforming already, looking calmer then Optimus had really expected. Unless he was hiding his true emotions and didn't wish to seem weak or nervous for a first impression.
Inwardly shrugging Optimus finally transformed, standing much taller then Bloodshock, or Wheeljack when he did or would transform. "I'm glad you made it back safely Wheeljack and the two with you. I am curious to who they are and what they think."He said with a soft smile to his old friend before he looked as Bloodshock shifted his foot, seeing a slight tension in the mech's frame. "I'll merely give you my designation but not much else for now."Bloodshock spoke up, not yet to the level of trusting these Autobots with much information.
"That is your say in this Decepticon, we are not going to force you into anything."Optimus assured him though there was no change in Bloodshock's demeanor leaving the Autobot leader to suspect he wasn't convinced. But time would only tell if the warrior would really trust them at all.

As the other two transformed, Wheeljack did likewise, ending up standing nearer to Optimus than Bloodshock and Newt ending up cradled in his hands. He smiled at Newt, then looked to Optimus. "Optimus, this is Newt. Newt, this is our leader, Optimus Prime." he introduced, then looked over at the Decepticon. "The only name I know to offer for our guest is Blake." he offered with a shrug. "Newt is a friend, she likes us. I was surprised when I told her of us, she grew excited and very receptive about getting to meet us. Blake has grown tired of the killing and the war, and he has fallen in love with someone. He won't tell us his One's name to protect his Spark mate to be, which I can understand, but it is an Autobot." he told Optimus, hoping the information would help ease the tension he could feel. "He genuinely wants to join us, Optimus, for himself and for his love. He befriended Newt and was careful not to hurt or scare her; I think we should offer him the chance to prove himself capable of redemption and join us." he added, turning his gaze to Bloodshock with a bit of a smile. He wanted the young soon-to-be-former Decepticon to feel at ease with them, and confident that everything will be alright.

Newt was anxious, there was now three alien robots all around her, two of which were friendly to the human race, one who was friendly to the human race, but on the opposing side. She didn't quite know how this was going to play out, she was hoping that Optimus would see the sincerity in Blake wishing to join the Autobots. Thats all she could hope for now. She looked out of Wheeljack's windows and watched as Blake's car transformed in front of her, and once again her jaw dropped. She watched as the car continued to transform, moving parts of the vehicle to become certain parts of the body form and was shocked to see the final result. Exactly what Wheeljack had told her, they disguised themselves as human vehicles, and then used the form of that vehicle as armor for their bodies.
The next one she watched transform was Optimus, and that was truly mystifying since he was taller than Blake. She had to lean her head over Wheeljack's dashboard just to see. Her dropped jaw had been replaced with a smile. She looked like a kid on Christmas day, opening a present and getting their favorite toy. When Optimus finally stopped transforming, she began to notice the loud sounds of transformation happening around her. She immediately became aware of the fact that this time it was Wheeljack transforming. "Whoa, whoa whoa!" She exclaimed, worried that parts of his armor were going to hit her, but was relieved when he finally stopped transforming and appeared to be in Wheeljack's arms. She looked up to Wheeljack nervously, as Optimus and Blake had already shared a few words, and hoped that the slight tension she could feel would be released soon.
She listened as then Wheeljack introduced her to Optimus, to which the young blonde turned around and faced Optimus, smiling politely and nodding her head. Newt had no idea if she needed to be formal or not, but since she was speaking to the leader of the Autobots, she figured it would be respectful to speak formally. "It is an honor to meet you, Optimus. Wheeljack has told me a little bit about the war and what has happened, I don't know a lot other than that." She then turned to Wheeljack as spoke of how excited she was to meet the Autobots and she had to hide the slightly embarrassed blush on her cheeks, when it came to new things, Newt was like a kid. She then turned to look at what she now recognized Blake as, when Wheeljack spoke about how he genuinely wished to join the Autobots, and she offered the Decepticon a reassuring smile, simply glad that he was going to take those steps to make a better future. She waited for the scene to unfold, sitting comfortably in Wheeljack's arms.

Bloodshock gave them a slight glance before turning his gaze away, examining the base for a moment out of curiosity and cocked his head slightly. He recognized the symbol on the wall of the NEST place, having encountered these people seventeen years back and never knew what had resulted in the conflict. Turning his attention back to them as they spoke, he waited quietly as Wheeljack and Newt finished speaking before addressing all three, taking a deep breathe to calm his tense frame.
"What he says is true Prime, I do wish to redeem my past deeds and hopefully find a better future at this base. Maybe finally settle down with the one I've come to love dearly, but I suppose it helps for you to know my name." He said kindly, waiting to let Optimus nod to proceed."My designation is Bloodshock, warrior and bounty hunter to the Decepticons, least that is my primary function since I came from my pod and after some training." Bloodshock said, this time without any hesitation.
Though the ninja fighting bot noticed how Optimus' optic ridges went up slightly from his name and his function, guessing he hadn't heard such names in a while. Or was it just surprising for a bounty hunter to be turning to their side when it rarely happened, to Bloodshock's knowledge.

Optimus listened to Wheeljack, looking to Newt and smiling as she spoke,"It's good to meet you as well Newt. And it's good to hear we haven't frightened you, though I assure you there is no need for formality." He assured her in a kind tone and chuckled as she almost seemed embarassed slightly but none the less he was glad to see another young, inquisitive spirit around. It always seemed to help make the base a livelier place and that was always one the things Optimus hoped to see.
With so much tension and negativity it concerned him how the Autobots got tense, annoyed, or just stressed out altogether. Hopefully there would be some piece of mind but he doubted that would happen for some time. Like now Bloodshock was tense until he finally relaxed himself and spoke, nodding in understanding for Bloodshock finding a few reasons to try and change, but like any bot Optimus wondered who Bloodshock had come to love on their side. It was a risky thing on their part but hopefully things would work out for them.
Though when the smaller bot gave his true designation and function the Prime raised his optic ridges, not really surprised by the name but it wasn't often bounty hunters took sides or turned sides. Rarely could you find them in the Autobots anymore and wondered just how Bloodshock would settle,"As I said and Wheeljack told you Bloodshock, your more then welcome to join us. No matter if it takes you some time to turn fully you at least have a brighter future to look to, plus some good friends."He said reassuringly though what Bloodshock thought was hard to tell as he merely nodded and showed little signs of his thoughts.

With the discussion progressing a bit and Optimus' confirmation that Bloodshock was in fact welcome there, Wheeljack offered the younger mech a broad and friendly grin, hoping to help diffuse the remaining tension in the air. "We try to give others a chance here. Like I told you in the alley, we were all brothers once and I think we could be again if we only reached out to each other and try." he added to what Optimus said, showing his almost painfully optimistic attitude about the whole situation. There were times Wheeljack seemed almost naive in his outlook, even after having been spawned towards the end of the Tribal wars, going through Reunification and over a thousand Earth years of peace only to end up thrust head first into a little over thirteen thousand years of brutally violent civil war that has decimated their race and home world, not to mention adopting six Sparklings only to see all of them die so violently. It was a wonder to many Autobots that he could remain so upbeat and optimistic after all he had been trough. But the five Aerialbots he not only adopted, but carried and raised to maturity himself, were still alive and that certainly helped, along with his very own true Sparked son Jared. Wheeljack certainly had a lot to smile about as far as the engineer was concerned.

Newt smiled back at Optimus who kindly assured her that there was no need for formality, and that he was glad to meet her. She was very relieved that he was understanding and nice, exactly how he had been described earlier by Wheeljack. "Y-yeah." She said in response and then looked to Blake as he said that what Wheeljack spoke of was true and that he wished to change for the better which just made her smile even more. She decided to just let the robots do the talking and keep herself out of it, since it was official business for them, though she did pay attention to know what was going on. She listened as Blake introduced himself as Bloodshock, a Decepticon bounty hunter. She was slightly shocked at the name, since he didn't seem like the type, but then again there was no telling what he had done in his past. She then turned to Optimus, to wait for his reaction and noticed him raise what appeared to be his eyebrow.
She listened as Optimus re-assured him that there was always the offer for a Decepticon to join the Autobot side and that there would be some great friends to make there. {"I'm glad that Optimus is so understanding, though with this sense of tension I'm getting, it looks like its not every day that a Decepticon offers to change their faction. I'm assuming its probably very dangerous for them since that Megatron character doesn't seem like one to get along with easily."} She leaned back comfortable against Wheeljack's chest, still cradled in his arms. It was quite a feeling to be cradled in the arms of an alien robot from a distant world, something which was still making her extremely excited, keeping a very happy grin on her face the entire time. Newt looked up to Wheeljack as he reminded Bloodshock of what he said in the alley, and to that Newt looked back over at Bloodshock and finally spoke up, "I told you that if you took the chance then they would more than likely let you change, Bloodshock." She addressed him by his true name now as well, feeling it was a bit more proper to call them that.

"So I've heard, but I never knew if I could believe it or not till now. Experiencing something yourself certainly proves it."Bloodshock replied to Wheeljack before glancing towards Newt with a slight nod as he knew he should have trusted them a bit more. Yet there was still a part of him concerned about the Decepticons discovering it and without being able to help himself Bloodshock glanced towards the sky, still knowing there was that slightest chance they would be informed. But he had to pray that wouldn't happen.
"Guess if you guys are to better trust me it might help to not hide my face."He added as he looked back at them and raised his hand to carefully click some buttons along the side of his face plates, removing his face mask then raising his visor. Lying hidden beneath for so long, and rarely showing it, was a severely scarred face, scars crossing this way and that, several overlapping others which tattooed the many battles and conflicts he had faced in his life. It was a wonder how his red optics could even be functioning.

Optimus watched the exchanges quietly, smiling faintly at seeing that Bloodshock could be convinced to give changing sides a chance. Though he followed the younger mech's gaze curiously, wondering what he could possibly be looking at or just was wondering about something, whatever it was he wouldn't pry. Once more he looked back at Bloodshock as he told them showing his face might help and Optimus was tempted to tell him it wasn't required but the mech was already doing so.
Seeing the overlapping scars was a little bit of a shock, but then again it didn't surprise the red and blue mech considering he had seen many bare terrible scars throughout the war. Some were more horrific then others and many caused permanent damage to some areas, it was a wonder Bloodshock still was able to use his optic sight at all. "It does help but it wasn't required Bloodshock."He said to him,"For now we should start getting you settled."

Wheeljack couldn't help but wince sympathetically at seeing all the scars on Bloodshock's face. His Spark went out to the poor mech and he walked over to Bloodshock, extending a hand to him and offering a smile. "C'mon, I'll help you get settled in some quarters n get you acquainted with some of the others on base." he offered, hoping the young mech would accept his offer. "N I don't think Newt would mind tagging along with us so she gets to meet some of the others too." he then looked over at the taller red and blue mech. "Well, pending the big bot's approval, of course." he added with a hopeful smile to Optimus.
