What Would A Fic With This Title Be About?

(Feel free to imagine Peter Cullen narrating this, for obvious reasons.)

Optimus Prime wasn't expecting to come online again -- that was the reason for passing on the Matrix of Leadership to his trusted friend Ultra Magnus after all -- but online he found himself, with a new, foundry-fresh chassis and no idea what world he was on. The native sapient beings - humans like the ones on Earth, to the best he could determine - were less advanced, having only rudimentary tube-type electronics and relying otherwise on purely mechanical systems, yet they'd somehow also created piloted robotic weapons to use in their ongoing conflict among themselves. More curiously, he didn't seem to be the only one to have unexpectedly arrived here, though the first meeting with the one human who recognized him as a member of the Autobots was rough to say the least -

Of course, the one human who recognized him as an Autobot was named Mark Sinclair.
