loyaute( Earth is. Well, it is. Arcee hasn't formed a solid opinion about the planet yet, beyond the fact that it means something to Prowl and Optimus values the life on it. But the latter is an Autobot thing - the value of life everywhere - as far as Arcee can make out. Following that is harder than she expected. It would be so much easier to just disregard humans, and solving problems was easier when she could just shoot at them until they stopped twitching.
But she has an Autobot badge now, and that meant doing things differently. Mostly.
Which is why, when she spots someone that looks like Optimus but can't possibly be Optimus, she investigates. Prowl is currently not an issue, and Arcee will be back before the night is out anyway. Humans get unnerved and trigger happy around her robot form, so Arcee trails the suspicious looking fire truck in her alt until they're far enough away from a population center that she can transform - crouching and propelling herself forward so she can land facing the cab of the vehicle, flaming swords out.
Normal people would say something at this point, but she's pretty sure the implicit transform is evident, what with the swords and all. Still: )
Who are you.
( That's... good, right? )

Been then he caught sight of her Autobrand, and raised his hands to show he was unarmed and not going to attack. ]
Alright. Just calm down. My name is Optimus Prime.

Frowning, her head tilts slightly as she finishes giving him a once over. He doesn't look particular dangerous, but Arcee knows the difference between looking and actually being. If he's Optimus Prime then he can fight like Optimus Prime. It's not a battle she thinks she can win easily, if at all.
Not. That she would fight Optimus Prime. )
Do you know who I am?
( She presses a hand to her chest, knuckles brushing over the autobrand as she does so. )

[He was pretty sure he'd remember running into a bot with flaming swords. That wasn't a dinobot.]
I'm not sure where you got that information, since I couldn't leave Earth if I wanted to. We haven't managed to get our ship repaired since we crashed here.

Arcee. I'm an autobot ( Obviously, but she feels like she needs to stress that. Just in case. ) and part of a team to find Alpha Trion on Earth.
( Among other things. Arcee isn't ever particularly open about anything, but this is Optimus. And he is an exception in a different way than Prowl normally is. If she's to be an autobot, then she needs to follow the example of the autobot - Optimus Prime. )
