This is literally a storage room. Soon, it will be filled with supplies from the Regenesis crash site.

A generic, black colored mech with a visor and holding a large case would approach the room.
This is the place...but a supply room? Well I guess since this place seems to be ancient and recently found, makes sense that they'd just put together whatever they could.
He'd open the door using faux access codes...which were remarkably easy to get. He entered and took a couple steps inside
So it's not like a Tardis where it's bigger on the inside. So where is he? And...
The light bulb went off in his helm and he quickly turned.
Oh crap!!

The doors slid shut while a sound announced the lock sliding in place. If the bot inside would try to override the lock again, he would find the panel unresponsive from his side. Several of the autodrones that had followed the bot up to this point, but keeping a distance, moved now to stand guard. A camera remained within the confines of the room, and as the light returned, fainter but there, the captive bot would be monitored again. A comm was sent to the prime, informing him of a trespasser caught in base. As for Thunder, he could hear a voice over the speaker too, saying :: Yes, you are a tool. :: Then silence.

The case dropped to the ground, his swords within their scabbards popping out and being fixed back onto his back. The electronic paint faded off, his helm crests popped back out, and he threw the visor to the side.
First and foremost he looked around to see the camera. Taking aim with his forearm-mounted autocannon and firing two explosive rounds into it, destroying it. Following that, he went to the door and tried hacking it, with no success.
"Damn it!"
He looked to the door, hearing people outside. He would reach back and grab both of his swords, ready to draw them at a moment's notice.
I knew I should have hacked those cameras. That voice, that rainbow colored sniper must have been tailing me since the fight. I should've guessed. Lead me right into a trap. I don't want to have to kill anyone, but there's no way I'm going to let them take me down, not while I'm lost on some alternate Cybertron. Not when Calidi's out there, not when she's still alive!
His blue optics began to light up brighter, his bio lights also becoming a tad brighter in tandem.

The door then opened, it was the only source of light into the storage room now that vatimus has opened it. He obscured most of the light as he walked in, unarmed, but clearly ready to fight if needed. Once he was fully in, the door closed behind him and locked itself once more. "Name, now."

The same mech as before, their leader. Well, might as well.
With his hands firmly gripping his swords, ready to draw them at any moment, he responded.
"Thunder."

Vatimus eyes thunder, then makes a simple comm to Wheelspin, :I'm putting you on hold for a while, I'll contact you again when I want an exit: He then walked up to the much smaller mech, motioning to put away the swords, "If you plan on using those, best if you offline me in the first strike."

He's big, and he's not even flinching. Best to play this smart.
Thunder released the grips of his swords, letting them remain his back-mounted scabbards.
"So you knew I was coming for you?"

:: Affirmative. :: Was a curt reply, the same voice as before. Though as it had been sent privately, via the comm, Thunder would not be given an opportunity to compare. Wheelspin would, in the meanwhile focus on his patient, but keep the comm open for when Vating required to be left out. A second camera, that had been more hidden, and kept at a different angle to the door to cover the side that the first might have missed, remained in operation. Concealed in the poor light of the room, protected, silent, motionless. Vatimus Prime

"No, I was busy with other things. What do you want, because clearly you're not here to fight or you would have done it already." Vatimus turned on his headlights, shining them on Thunder, he wanted the mech to know that he was in charge of the situation.

Thunder covered his face with his arm, trying to not be blinded by the light.
"I'm not from around here, but I want to help." Thunder replied, "At first I wanted to take some energon and be on my way, but you guys are outnumbered and outclassed if you have Tarn here. You'll need my help if you're gonna survive another attack by him. This wasn't an assault, this was a test to see how well you'd do."

"I'm not worried about Tarn, I'm more worried about the upcoming war. If they're willing to attack already, they may have the advantage. What do you bring to the table that will help me against specifically Tarn?" He crossed his arms and dimmed the lights a little to give Thunder a little breathing room.

They were alone, but even if they weren't, he wasn't going to let him go if he didn't give him some reason to stay around. He had to tell him, he only told Dia, but she didn't believe him. Maybe...he had to try.
"I'm an Autobot from another universe. In my world, we defeated and unmasked Tarn. We took him down...and we defeated the Chaos Bringer Unicron and his heralds." Thunder spoke truthfully and confidently.

Vatimus couldn't believe what he was hearing. He needed some more evidence than just this guy who snuck into his base's words. "Any sort of proof I can have, or do I need to take your word for it." He will admit, it did sound rather truthful.

"I guess I have something."
He tapped his right wrist, projecting a small video clip of himself, someone who looked like a younger Nominus Prime with white armor and gold optics, a blue and gold lion with electricity coming off of it, a blue and red mech smirking as he ran by with blue lightning coming off of him, a slender silver mech with no eyes but two swords coming from the underside of his wrists, a bulky maroon mech with goggles firing a huge cannon, a golden and green mech firing an electric blast and a slender white and silver femme firing out a tornado, all at a massive, purple crystal covered beast.
"Tell me if you've ever heard of this battle--" Thunder then showed the timestamp, over a year and a half ago, "--around last year?"

Vatimus looked over the battle, curious, it looked real, he could swear this should be fake, but it looked real. "Okay... Either you're telling me the truth, or you're the single greatest con artist of all time."

"Guess that's up to you."
He deactivated the holo-vid and looked up to the Prime.
"I don't sense the Matrix on you. Believe it or not, I actually had some of its energies flowing through me at one point. There might not be too much left in my spark but if you want, go ahead and scan. Tell me if you can detect even a bit of the Matrix's energies within me."

"Look kid, I haven't seen the matrix or it's wielder in a looong time." Vatimus let out a sigh, "Optimus Prime and the Decepticon Warlord, Megatron, left a long time ago, no one knows where they went." He took a moment to think, then said, "So what do you want?"

"Well...I want to help. There are, or will, be people here who just want to live without being caught up in this war. I don't intend on working under you, but I'll work with you. But not as part of your forces." He looked him right in the optics with determination, "I want to be your secret weapon against them. Hit and run operations. I'm from an alternate universe and barely anyone knows I exist. They won't be able to prepare for me!"

Vatimus though this over for a moment, he eventually came to a conclusion, "Alright, but don't expect high risk missions or anything of heavy strategic importance early on, I'm gonna need to learn that you'll be reliable first. Also, get you some extra training in stealth."
