In his office in Autobot City Optimus Prime was thinking over things. His conversation with Thundercracker made him realize he needed to start bringing about the change people were asking for sooner rather than later.
But doing it now posed a great risk. It was one Optimus was willing to take.
Optimus turned on his comm. "Skyfire. I need you to report to my office as soon as possible"

Skyfire had been working on developing new equipment for several of his ongoing experiments. Many of them had only really gotten rolling since the breakout, since he'd decided the War was back on. That meant they had to be ahead of the Decepticons in all things - especially technology. He hadn't been able to make much progress in locating Starscream or Soundwave. They would show up though; especially if Skyfire's work continued apace. If he could find Cybertron in the wake of the destroyed Space Bridge, he could start on a new way home, a way off this ball of dirt and ice.
When Optimus called him, Skyfire nodded, putting down the soldering iron and turning off the heat. "Skyfire receiving. I'll be there shortly."
It was mere minutes of passing through Metroplex before Skyfire had arrived in Optimus' office here in the command center of Autobot City. For the large shuttle, it wasn't an unfamiliar place; but when he came here usually, it was for the sake of maintenance and repairs for his Titan-class friend, rather than to deal with others of a similar size class to himself. He nodded to Optimus when he stepped through the doorway. "Skyfire reporting, Prime. What do you need?"

Optimus looked at Skyfire thoughtfully.
"Skyfire. I know you still desire some form of atonement after the breakout. After months of deliberation and a conversation with an associate I think I might have an answer..."
"I want you to start work on a new Autobot prison. Top Secret and hidden from G.H.O.S.T."
"With it, we can properly rehabilitate the rogue Decepticons."

Skyfire nodded at Prime, his mind already working on the problem. He was more of a scientist and explorer than a builder, but this would be a challenge well-suited to his knowledge. Building a prison made sense - he'd never really seen the ones on Cybertron back in the past, but he had read schematics.
"That makes sense. I think it would make sense given our structure, and the need to keep it concealed, to build this on Earth's moon; preferably on the dark side. I can travel to there easily, and we can prevent all but the most powerful fliers from escaping back to Earth. If they do manage to get out, those who can will probably attempt to reformat to Cybertronian form and escape Earth altogether. That isn't a perfect solution, but it does protect both the people of Earth and any Autobot here."
He looked at Optimus, hoping for approval to his plan.

Optimus looks a little uncertain.
"It's a decent plan Skyfire but there's one issue. How are we going to transport any prisoners or supplies there?"

Skyfire smiled slightly at Prime's question. "I'm certain that between myself and Thundercracker, we can transport them. That's the immediate method."
His expression remained unchanged for a moment before he spoke again. "Also, in the future, if my experiments continue apace, we may be able to align an energon field and develop an extremely short-range space bridge. We wouldn't need a guidance vehicle, it would be instant."

Optimus looked sad. "I'm not sure if Thundercracker would be willing to help us sadly. But we'll see"
"Still the proposal and concept sound good. If you think you're up to the task I want you to get started right away."
"I think Jazz still has a spare shuttle. He would probably be willing to lend his."
"It's time for change Skyfire. I'm through letting G.H.O.S.T. control us."
And I will accept the consequences whatever they may be he thought to himself.
