So when the war in Prime started, Lear was about 10-11 and when Dreadwing and Skyquake made her join the Autobots and when Lear joined the Bots despite her little arguments with her brothers not wanting to join, she was too nervous and hide from everybody until Bumblebee and Nightthorn befriended her and got her out of her shell and she got advise from Op.
Now as when Lear is 16 in the first two half seasons she looks back of when she joined and felt like it was yesterday when she joined the Autobots and sees them as her second family, but at times she wished she would have won the arguments and kicked Dreadwing and Skyquake in the legs calling them idiots when she was a young kid.
