You know that trend with Material Girl by Madonna with people posting their parents' young and hot phase?

That's Sari and her parents.

Dr. Sumduc was definitely a phase, but when he was in his late 20s/early 30s. His dedication to science had prematurely aged him as he constantly forgot to eat, sleep, and hydrate. Plus, he had a hybrid child to raise. Despite his really poor interpersonal skills, he definitely knew he had to keep Sari's existence under wraps because she would never be able to see an experimental laboratory if she was ever discovered. Let alone live a peaceful life. Even his considerable wealth, he knows he has enemies and that he's a (in)famous figure for revolutionizing the modern way of life. Everyone around him is under intense scrutiny. Many will scramble for any paltry scrap of information over the missing mother because anyone who controls the young daughter then controls the future of Sumdac Systems.

This could account why Sari doesn't exist in databases as well as Dr. Sumdac's staunch "no military-hardware" stance. It's a poorly executed way her father tried to cover her since it left Sari incredibly vulnerable as her citizenship and legal identity were non-existent. Dr. Sumdac had only thought of the many organizations and companies that aren't afraid to get their hands dirty to claim the first "Earth-born" techno-organic that it left Sari with absolutely nothing to care for herself should something happen to him. He was so afraid of outside monsters that he didn't realize that he had some already nearby.

Now, Sari can't believe anyone would have the hots for Megatron because he's super picky over his food and drink and he recites corny, yet bloody poems to Optimus as a lullaby, but she came across some ancient propaganda posters of him within the gladiatorial arenas. She needed brain-bleach.
