Set after Transformers 2007, Sam isn't going to be safe from the Decepticons if he stays at home.

A cohort: bonded co-workers who share a common purpose, siblings, family, lovers, friends. What happens when Autobot sparks decide, for better or worse, that short-lived human beings are part of their cohort?

As the base's resident expert on human culture, Sam had fumbled his way through some pretty awkward conversations, but even he didn't feel up to tackling the questions Bee would have once he learned that his best friend had somehow developed a fetish for alien robots.

After Sam gets kicked out of the dorms, he has to call his parents with the bad news. Fortunately, his car answers the phone instead . . .

Sam thumps his forehead with his fist. "Should've bought the Fiesta. It had racing stripes."
