"This is such a bad idea,"
Optimus wasn't too worried, after all, he, Wintersong and Whitegrazer were ready to defend themselves, the base, and most importantly Arachnitron. However, he could understand her emotion of fear. She might not know who might be looking for her, and as soon as she shows up, a few others crashland on the planet as well. Coincidence? Hopefully, their presence and control over the situation would calm her down.
"I think it's best we talk first."
"All right," Primal agreed, adding a nod to Arachnitron.
"Optimus I think Cheetor is with him somewhere though not sure if anyone else is."
Glancing at Wintersong, whose nose was probably stronger than his, he looked forward to seeing the cheetah and momentarily turned his attention passed the badger.
"Wow. I turned around, and you were just... gone. I gotta hand it to you, you're faster than I would've thought. "Oh, hey Big Bot. Sorry for interrupting anything, but Icebreaker and Feralnight are still dealing with a small Pred' problem. If Ironclaw's with you, then I'm gonna head back."
The gorilla smiled lightly seeing Cheetor, but the visit was brief. As soon as he showed up, he was gone again, leaving Optimus only to blink after him. He supposed Feralnight and Icebreaker, along with Cheetor, would be able to handle their "small Pred problem." If not, they would call for back-up. ...He hoped they would. Well, he supposed it was back to meeting the badger before him.
"Optimus, I am Ironclaw. I was the one who came down in the star hopper. Trust me I never meant to come here, it was a ship malfunction. I was hoping you could help me, since I'm not much of a soldier."
Ah! So he was the one piloting the Star Hopper. Interesting. And a Maximal, no less. It was unfortunate that he came to this planet, though. A "malfunction" with his small vessel brought him here? Optimus wasn't convinced that that was why all of these escape pods and Hoppers kept crashing on this seemingly doomed world. What a mess.
"None of my Axalon crew came here as soldiers, Ironclaw, including myself. Unfortunately, this war that we're currently in with Megatron and his Predacons has given us no choice in the matter," Primal explained, looking down at the honey badger in front of him.
"But I would be more than happy to help you with whatever it is you need."
"OPTIMUS!"
There was something in the background flying out of the
Axalon that the gorilla caught out of the corner of his eye while he spoke to Ironclaw, but it wasn't until Arachnitron shouted behind him that made him look up only to find someone helplessly spiraling out of control in the sky. Who was that? Another Fuzor? Had they been hit? Optimus didn't hear or see any gunfire, but the bot recently came from their base... Perhaps an inexperienced flier? Someone who had recently been activated? Could it have been...? Hm.
Without wasting anymore time, the Maximal leader commanded,
"Optimus Primal, maximize!" and quickly transformed to his robot mode. In the next second, he ignited his prime jets and flew up toward the falling female. Because Optimus had a feeling this may have been a case of rushing into unfamiliar territory with a new beast mode, he decided to try and give her a quick lesson about flying; they still had some time at this altitude. And if she faltered, he was there to help her.
"Don't panic," Optimus said, trying to calm her (Aurora).
"Never panic in flight or fall." Probably easier said than done, especially for someone new at this. Being much more experienced, Primal kept himself at her altitude, adjusting his jets as needed while they fell together at the same speed.
"Look at me," he told her, using both his right index and middle fingers pointing at his own optics. This should help her to keep herself right-side-up and stop spiraling, gaining more control.
"Lay your wings out flat horizontally with a lot of pressure and start flapping them slowly, holding that strength with each flap. I'm right here. Nothing is going to happen to you," Primal assured her with confidence in his voice as well as his red optics.

"Hurry up, you two! If we continue at this pace, the Predacons will have acquired both protoform and pod before we even arrive."
"'Hurry up, you two! If we continue at this pace, the Predacons will have acquired both,' yeah, yeah, yeah!" Rattrap mocked Dinobot.
"Ya know, if I had wings or wheels, I'd be able ta catch up faster, Chopper Face! Excuse me and my short little legs!" The brown rat picked up his pace and caught up to Frilla and Dinobot.
"Not unless the protoform has a form already."
"Yeah, well, I just wanna make sure the Preds keep their hands off of it," the rodent commented.
at Dinobot. And poor Aurora. XD OP can fly up and help her. I'm just waiting for Mystrea to catch up now. 
Off to work for now! ))
