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.
