Arcee still doesn't know what to make of the fight. Optimus -- Optimus Prime, the real leader of the Autobots, someone who's firmly held Arcee's respect and loyalty for millennia -- had attacked her, and she still doesn't know why. None of this adds up, and she needs answers before she can do anything about it. She's been scouting the area, trying to gather more information, but to no avail. So when her comm systems get a ping from an unknown identity, asking her to meet some unidentified entity nearby, it's only a moment's deliberation before she takes the bait. The requester hasn't identified themselves, and it's a risk -- this could easily be a trap -- but it doesn't feel like a Decepticon trick. She could call for backup, but the only one who could get here fast enough is Rodimus, and Arcee just isn't in the mood to keep him on a tight leash right now.

She approaches the rocky outcropping from a wide angle, deciding to transform once she's behind sufficient cover just so she can cycle her blasters out and keep them at the ready. Whoever pinged her already knows she's more than just your average motorcycle, and while she's been pretty keen on maintaining their cover, she'd rather be in a position to defend herself. Whoever this is -- whatever they want -- she doesn't know, but she's about to find out.
