(1 week later)
I sighed as Arachnid landed in front of me, her mini drones forming back into her full form. "Test drive went well, all systems are running great Sam!"
"That's good, Ara. Where's Ironhide?" I asked her, working on my emergency Energon supply.
"He's off talking to Hank. The blue beast's really impressed with how your mutation works." She sighed, leaning up against a nearby wall outside of my workshop.
"Good, I need him to come with me when I go into the city later." I told her, putting the cork on the final vial before shoving it onto my belt.
"Don't go too far from here. Untill I get back, you're on protective duty of the island. See if you can fund any Energon nearby while your at it."
She smiled, mockingly saluting me. "You got it boss." Arachnid then jumped, transforming into her drone form and flying away.
"She's a real piece of work, isn't she?" A voice said.
Turning to look, I saw one of the most beautiful people I had ever met: Luna Snow, the viral singer. As an avid marvel fan, I k ew that she was sometimes known as Seol, but apparently in this world she had legally changed her name rather than using a stage name. Why? No clue brotha.
"Hay Luna, and yeah she can be. But she's just a busy body." I shook my head, remembering how Arachnid had immediatly asked for a task apon being awakened.
I was getting g better at that, by the way. I figured out that I can implant information into my creations as they awaken, lessening their period of confusion.
Luna giggled at me, covering her mouth. "What?"
She kept going, eventually devolving into full on belly laughs. "That face you make is the best!"
I sighed, sagging my shoulders dramatically. "Really?"
She snorted, perking up and blushing, which made it my turn to laugh. "Okay enough teasing Frosty, I've gotta get ready to leave soon."
Luna sighed, blowing a layer of frost into my hair amd making it stick up like an icicle. I just started at her blankly before pumpin Energon through my system, melting the ice in the process.
I smirked at the look she gave me, grabbing my dufflebag and prancing outside. "Make sure you lock up for me!"
"Whatever, Mechhead!"

Later on, I was landing atop a massive tower in a modified quinjet, who was now named Skyripper. This Cybertronian was. Teir 4, specifically made to be be a tank if an air carrier. He was big enough to transport his siblings and had enough weaponry to royally fuck shit up.
Patting him on the way out, I thanked him for taking me all the way here before turning to look at the man who was far too eager to meet me. "Mr. Stark? It's good to finally meet you."
Stark smirked, eyeing me with an excitement that I had never seen in anyone before. "Sammy, you finally came!" The playboy wrapped me up in a big hig and swung me around, despite the fact that I had never met him before.
Tony put me down after a few spins, and he finally told me why he was so damn exited. "You have no idea how bad I've wanted to study how your mutation works. It's like taking a glimpse at what I've been trying to achieve for years now!"
I laughed at his giddiness, raising my palms in a gesture of surrender. "That's great, just as long as you pay me a pretty penny along the way."
The billionaire playboy philanthropist laughed at the idea of paying me off with just money. "If that's all you want, I'll just have you move in permanently!"
I shook my head, deciding to move on. "So where will I be staying?"
A woman popped her head in the room at that moment, redhead, medium height, and incredibly beautiful. I immediatly knew who it was. "Mr. Stark, Mr. Tracy's penthouse is ready for him, and your shipment is awaiting your signature in the garage."
Tony grinned, clasping his 'secretary' on the shoulder, to which she smiled gently, tilting her head to the side as if she didn't care. "This here is Natalie, my new secretary. If you need anything, don't hesitate to reach out to her."
I nodded, not wanting to draw any more attention than I already had from the presumably Shield spy. I followed Tony into an elevator, keeping Allspark active in the background of my head for practice, I fai try listened in to Tony talking about the projects he was working on.
"I know the company's struggling right now, but I'm doing my best to expand onto other markets, more specifically the machinery and medical industry." He told me. "I'm also working on making things like cars, trucks, he'll I even have a new commercial plane design sitting in one of my files."
He turned to me as the elevator opened up. "That section is where I'll have you working in most of the time. You have free reign to design, do final checks, and retcon all the automobiles that I come up with."
I smiled, at him confidently. "If that's all, then this is gonna be super easy."
"You'll also be getting a degree in mechanical engineering while you're at it." He smirked back, one genius to another knowing how I'd feel about that.
"But-"
"It's a waste of time, right?" He nodded, looking around my new home. "Whether you like it or not, you'll need a degree to be recognized for any work you do here."
Then, he became serious, the fun and joy dropping from his face. "You aren't in your professor's magical island anymore."
The hidden meaning in those words resonated with my own feelings about this universe, so I nodded just as seriously as he did. "I'll do my best... can I call you Tony?"
The fun came back, a playful smirk spreading across his face. "Sure kid, I was gonna call you Sammy whether you liked it or not anyway."
"Well, go ahead and check out your new home for a bit. There's a keycode on your nightstand, plug it into your phone and you'll have the passwords to all the floors. Come down to sublevel 2 around 10 to get started." He told me, going back into the elevator. "Were gonna have some fun, kid!"
The door closed around his smirk, leaving me devoid of his playful loudness in a still, luxurious penthouse... that was a complete floor now that I thought about it.
"Heh, he really wants to get on my good side, doesn't he?"
