After all is said and done...

The door swing open, with a very odd noise. For those of you have have seen the "THX" Audio teaser (the audience is now deaf) at the start of a movie or DVD: it's that sound, backwards. (For those that haven't, the sound starts about a middle-high note, about the F above middle C, and then slides down the entire octave. If that doesn't help, the Allspark apologizes.)

And in steps a broad, powerful robot, about seven feet tall. It looks to be partially made of parts from a truck - you can see a fender, and wheels, and headlights, and a windshield. But it is a machine, the parts in motion with a level of intricacy unheard of in most parts of the universe. Blue glowing eyes above a plate where the nose and mouth should be on a human glance around. There is no whirring, if you expected it.

Once the machine appears to have decided there's at least some form of non-threat here, the plate on the face splits, sliding back to reveal a cunningly-engineered mouth.

"Hmm," he says in a deep rich voice, glancing around at patrons, bar, and then himself, "apparently some kind of portal. I'll have to mark the door so none of the others come through. Ironhide might not appreciate it." Then, he takes a full step in, and the door closes being him.

Ladies, Gentlemen, and Others, the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime. Say hi.
