"Given the circumstances in this reality, we've decided to establish a sort of 'diplomatic team' of Autobots and Maximals that we're calling the 'Elite Guard.' Pz-Zazz was a harsh lesson in the fact that reputations can be important. A good reputation with the local species makes our job easier, and a bad one can make it that much harder, leading the people we're trying to protect to turn against us. As such, the Elite Guard is intended to show off the best that we can be, to really show off our code, while keeping in mind the customs and concerns of those we're called on to protect or our potential allies. They will still need to be effective soldiers, and this team is expected to be a combat squad, but they'll probably have to spend time learning diplomacy and inter-species relations in addition to the usual tactical and combat drills."
"Sentinel Prime, who's shown his ability to organize complex operations in that Casino strike of his, will be leading the Elite Guard. We're looking for volunteers. It'll be a lot of extra work, and I can't promise much reward, so we're looking for volunteers right now. Sentinel's the one to talk to, but any new additions will have to be approved by their section head, myself, and Emirate Xaaron. You'll still report to your normal divisions, and will continue to have duties appropriate to that. You just also have to report to Sentinel. For all the downsides, we... well, we need something like this. If you think you can help us put our best foot forward, speak up."
