-Orion Pax (Optimus Prime) and Megatron's sparkling
-was born pre-war
-During the war Surge was somewhere between her late childhood (12 years old in human age)
-Orion Pax (Now Optimus Prime) did not want her to get exposed to the war and witness her Sire's dark path so he decided to 'hide' her.
-Surge was put into stasis and sent her away from cybertron via spacepod specifically created for her. During those time she was in a virtual reality (inspired by Porter Robinson's Shelter)
-Though Megatron wasn't happy about it And ordered the Decepticons a search and retrieve operation, unfortunately it was unsuccessful.
-many vorns later her spacepod crash landed on earth (before Autobots/Decepticons found Earth's existence). She was later found by a Military Pilot and befriended her.
-During that time she was under the pilot's care and military protection. She then volunteered to become the soldiers' vehicle, transporting them to designated location. (Using her two alt modes: military helicopter plane?/military truck.)
-to say the least, she was treated as family in the military base not just some secret weapon. She had Bonded with the soldiers and trained with them, though her existence remained a secret to the public.
