Transformers Bunny Farm

Except for the world of the Transformers Animated cartoon (and probably the big part of the Malgus stream), Cybertron is dead in almost every other time line in the other universal clusters. Worse, Cybertronians are either going extinct or will take a long time to re-populate.

So if the Earth team from TFA lands accidentally in a time line of Primax, Aligned, Aurex, etc. and the native Cybertronians learn that Optimus, Bumblebee and Bulkhead are younglings, not even 50,000 years old-

What if some desparate bots tried to force them to stay?

These bots have nothing to lose - these three younglings could save their race. Who cares what they have to do or that it might not work until they try and know? Who cares if their ideas are farfetched or insane? All is lost either way. They won't 'hurt' them, because of their status, but given the state of the respective Cybertrons, the Malgus bots aren't safe from unsavory events and from Cybertronians trying to use them for their ends either. And 'hurt' can mean anything if it doesn't matter what you want, only what others want from you.

A. The native Cybertronians the crew meets are the 'main' Autobot characters of the respective time streams, like Prowl, Jazz, Optimus Prime in Primax etc.

a. They are welcomed, but as soon as the information about Bumblebee, Optimus and Bulkhead comes to light, the plotting begins.

b. They are arrested as potential invanders/spies/etc. The situation quickly flows down the drain.

c. The scientists come to the conclusion the younglings could carry if they spark merge...

B. The crew meets the main Decepticons characters of the respective time streams, like Starscream, Soundwave, Megatron in Primax etc.

a. Starscream and Soundwave do their damndest to protect the three, including from their own faction and the Autobots.

b. Shockwave wants to see if he can convert/mutate the younglings to more 'native coding'.

c. Other scenarios.
