1 Where the hell am I?(rewritten)

??? POV

Regaining consciousness on the cold ground, I'm left wondering if I had a wild night out or stumbled into the set of a sci-fi junkyard. My head's pounding like it's auditioning for a drum solo, and I'm pretty sure I didn't sign up for this in my sleep.

Trying to stand up, I discover my hands have undergone a radical makeover – metallic gloves that didn't come with a manual. Clenching and unclenching feels more like an audition for a robot talent show, and my legs are in on the metallic fashion trend too, leaving me questioning if I've unknowingly joined a Transformer-themed fashion parade.

In a desperate quest for answers, I spot a broken-down moped, its lone mirror stepping up as my backstage passes to confusion. The reflection reveals a metallic version of myself with blue glowing eyes – move over, Hollywood, we've got the latest robot superstar in town. I'm basically Arcee from Transformers Prime, but forget the feminine look; I've got a more "realistic" and "manlier" design – no chest-like boobs included, of course.

Sitting down to process this upgrade from human to Transformer, I ponder if this is some cosmic prank. I mean, who wakes up looking like a character from a robot blockbuster without prior notice?

Recalling my last moments before this metal mess, I vaguely remember drinking with friends and then deciding to have a cosy nap on my couch with the news on. Now, cue the bewildered "How the actual heck did I end up here?"

Trying to lighten the mood, I wonder if I've got some Transformers abilities. Channelling my inner Arcee, I envision my hand as a gun, and voila – Arcee's blaster appears.

Opting for a bit of edge, I shape my other hand into a blade, mimicking Arcee's arm blade. The conclusion? I might be Arcee's long-lost metallic cousin, but instead of having epic battles, I'm left trying to turn into a motorbike and failing miserably while looking like I'm about to drop a nuke in the toilet.

Determined to scan the moped for answers, I realize it's not as simple as a sci-fi movie plot. No magical insights here. In my search for a functional vehicle, I stumble upon the relic of relics – the Reliant Robin. Rusty and worn out, but it responds to my touch like a loyal sidekick. Cue the blue beam before the transformation of sparks and shifting metal into a rusted blue-reliant Robin – Hollywood, eat your heart out.

Returning to my humanoid form, I notice the change – Rust patches here and there, window frames on my shoulders and a wheel on my back. Now, I'm not just a Transformer; I'm a walking automobile fashion statement.

As I grapple with this metallic absurdity, questions linger, urging me to embark on a journey of self-discovery – because apparently, turning into a Transformer is the newest twist in my life's sitcom.

Ignoring the metallic mayhem that is my existence for the moment, I kick off in my rusty reliant Robin form from the junkyard, setting my sights on a journey down the dirt roads to decode the grand mystery – am I really stuck in some twisted version of Transformers?

Enduring what felt like an eternity on those treacherous dirt roads, I celebrate as my tires finally embrace the tarmac. Those roads were more brutal than a stand-up comedy heckler; I'm relieved to be gliding smoothly, picking up speed like I'm auditioning for a fast and furious.

Curiosity sparks my inner speed demon as I decide to test the limits. With no cars in sight and a straight road before me, I gradually accelerate, topping at a modest 88 mph. Sure, it's not breaking any speed records, but hey, I doubt Optimus Prime ever had to worry about speed limits and traffic tickets.

With a resigned sigh, I ease off the pedal, having seen zero signs to give me a clue about my whereabouts. No signs mean no speeding tickets, right? Better safe than sorry in this metallic marvel adventure.

Finally, a change of scenery – people driving around and signs scattered like confetti. After decoding the clues and signs, it hits me – I'm in America, the land of bald eagles and supersized everything. First time here, and my cyber brain is still processing the cultural shock.

My destination? The legendary 'hoover-damn,' a cinematic hotspot. But caution is my copilot; I need to be careful of agents lurking around. This will help me figure out if I am in a blockbuster, or if this is just an elaborate prank by the universe.

Pulling up to the closest parking spot near the dam, the suspense is palpable. Hours tick away, and boredom sets in like a bad movie sequel. Just when I'm about to stage my own robotic version of "Waiting for Godot," four black SUVs make an entrance from the dam, rolling away in a suspicious convoy. Not concrete evidence, but enough for me to slam on the pedal and make a speedy exit – better safe than tangled up with secret agents.

Embarking on my peculiar journey toward the city where Sam allegedly hangs his hat, the mission at hand: scout out either Sam's humble abode or, at the very least, the adjacent dealership, conveniently rubbing shoulders with a Porsche haven – like a neon sign pointing the way in my twisted quest.

And so, the odyssey unfolds – a symphony of driving, more driving, and just a smidge more driving. It's a bit like an everlasting road trip, sans the road trip snacks, classic rock tunes, and the eternal debate over which way to fold the map.

Hours metamorphose into days, and the cityscape becomes a pulsating blur of neon lights and indifferent pedestrians until, lo and behold, by some cosmic alignment or an exceptional stroke of luck, the dealership reveals itself to my cybertronian peepers. Four days of navigating the urban labyrinth – was it a touch of movie magic, the whims of fate, or just an uncanny sense of direction baked into my metallic soul?

Having gracefully parked my rusted form amidst its four-wheeled companions, it dawns on me that it's time for a reprieve. A well-deserved respite, perhaps even a metallic beauty sleep, as I nestle into the hope that the universe has something intriguing tucked away for me in the folds of the cosmos when I awaken.

I drift into dreams that defy the laws of physics. Visions of transforming cars, elusive movie plots, and maybe even a cameo from Optimus Prime dance through the synapses of my circuits.

Here's to hoping my slumber yields a sequel worth watching. Until then, the tapestry of my peculiar saga takes an intermission, promising the curious unknowns that await me when I once again open my eyes to the enigmatic world beyond.
