[Video] Sad Dad Bad Had

[After seeing Megatron's response, something certainly has been keeping Prime busy. He wasn't wrong--something did have to be done instead of wallowing in the loss (or victory) of a war. And if that meant following Megatron--well...he had to say he wasn't overly enticed by that plan. He knew the bot meant well, and would try not to let the same thing happen twice. But if there's one thing he's learned, it's that trying to change yourself turns you back into what you've been this whole time.

You can't outrun your identity. Optimus knows that now.]


I request an audience with all of you, whether it be in person or over the communications feed. As most of you know, I've talked with Cybertron itself, and although I don't exactly understand it, one part of its message was clear--we must learn to coincide with each other. To get along and make progress.  

Megatron is proposing a start to this. 

[Well, he might as well be honest.]

But there are going to be problems.  One of which is a symbol of the war--me. I am a Prime, and to some of you, I've been the toxin in your systems. The rust in your side. I'm here to dispel one thing--I'm not going to give the title up, as it's part of my identity. I will be commander to those who serve under me, as long as they'll have me. Other than that, however much say you want me to have in this world is entirely up to you.  If me stepping back will cause those who follow Megatron's dream to co-exist peacefully with the Autobots, I will gladly do so.

...

I've only been a Prime during the war. And I cannot look to previous examples for assistance. [Sentinel]

I suppose that's it. I hope that broadcasted nicely. I can never tell.

[Private to Sentinel]

Meet me by the crater.

[ROUND TWO OF REHAB, BUDDY.]

Mm. That sounds about right.

[She doesn't bother to explain why she's qualified to comment on it, because fuck you she's Emma Frost and if you don't know that, that's your problem.

Also she likes controlling the conversation.]


A first for you, I assume?

[What do you think, OP?]

[personal profile] chickscream 2015-05-07 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Point. Scrap, I ought to already know that, I've been through some big changes in my life already.

[Like going from not existing to existing, and switching sides to help Megatron, then deciding that situations that sent her face to face with an Autobot the size of a small mountain were terrible situations, then being brought to Cybertron... For a robot just a year and a half old, she's been through a lot.]

Is modesty part of your leadership skillset?
chickscream: (of things I can do)

[personal profile] chickscream 2015-05-08 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[That, or she's setting a pattern of huge life upsets every couple months! But hopefully it's the first thing.]

'Decent' is still loads better than 'literally Starscream', at least! You should try being proud of that.

I'll make you a bumper sticker. "Honk If You're Not A Terrible Person!"
redshitlord: (but don't think it bothers me at all)

[ISN'T GREAT OPTIMUS. All the death machines are becoming friends with each other, except Tarn. But no one likes Tarn.

Also it is a wonderful thing that Miria is horrid at reading a room.]


This Unit is... also glad? This Unit has never had 'friends' before.

Yeah, he's a good kid.

[Pause.]

And I'll shoot your whole damn face off if you try and hurt him, gun or no gun.

[You know, in case it wasn't clear.]

But yeah, I guess we're working together. I mean, it's not like you've got any other medics around until you find the other three again.
triggerhappycopter: (Ominous looming.)

[personal profile] triggerhappycopter 2015-05-09 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Slow down? This is Spinister! He'll kick your ass! He'll kick your friend's asses! He'll kick everyone's asses!]

The point.

Is that I'm gonna fight you if you hurt him, good acquaintances or not.

But you haven't hurt him so you're kind of just being watched super closely.

[It's such a good thing they're communicating through text right now; Slipstream can't help but grin anytime she's reminded of how free of Starscream's legacy she is, now.]

At least you're being sensible, now. Admitting you're not Starscream is the first step to admitting you're no kind of toxin or rust.

What color would you like the sticker to be?


[Slipstream is actually going to make one, apparently.]

[A long silence on her end, as she's processing what Optimus just said.

Of course with how long it is one may think she turned her device off.]


... Thank you?

[MUCH CONFUSION.]

Too stupid to realize what they were getting into. C'mon, Optimus.

( Wait his what. )

Uh. No?

[Spinister takes a moment to squint at Optimus.

Then he points two fingers at his optics

and then points them at the Prime

before slowly sliding out of view and turning the video feed off.
