[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.]

Goodness. Is it that time of month already?

You spoke with Cybertron directly?

Mmm. I'll let you know if any of them show up.

Any more specific directions or should I just pick a random spot and hope for the best?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we just have this conversation in a giant reproduction of Nova's head?

The public self-flagellation certainly isn't a step in the right direction.

You'd sink the knife protruding from your back in deeper if you truly believed if it make the one who put it there penitent.

[ Kind of just blew up the ship he was on to kill the captain with that one. ]

I digress. Perhaps the more immediate concerns of the planet itself should take precedence once we settle on who gets to hold the flag.

I believe feelings are a language on their own. Perhaps they are so direct they they are difficult to understand.

No. You're Optimus Prime. Last time you ran away, Starscream won an election and everything ended up worse than it was before. Which I didn't think was possible.

( they probably should be having this conversation in private. )

[It's audio because her comm system doesn't have video.]

This Unit is finding these multiple pointless communications on this network to be a waste of resources and time.

Also this Unit is not seeing a reason for Optimus Prime to be making this announcement.

[ A large, singular yellow eye dilates and whirrs quietly as a subtle indication of his internal disquet. The almost instinctive answer was that Shockwave simply stood for Cybertron - chiefly his own interests.

Matters complicated themselves when, for all intents and purposes, Optimus was the future for Cybertron. Whether he liked to admit it himself or not.

[he snorts bitterly.]

I wouldn't say that.

[Hey, Optimus, remember this chick? She's been a bit scarce recently, but she thinks it's worth replying to this guy, even if it's only to heckle him.

... heckle him very gently.]


You're giving rust and toxins a good reputation, there. Sure you want to pull that comparison? Some of the blockheads around here might start those things will help them out.

[That's definitely heckling, not a compliment. Yep. No compliments here!]

I don't like you. You and your cronies put a lot of my friends through some pretty horrid stuff even before the war.

[You know how police forces tend to be a tool of the bourgeois to reinforce the status quo? Slap some Institute and empurata onto those fun times and guess which class background Spin's from.

Still, the heli pauses before cutting the feed, scowling unhappily.

... But leaderly sorts stepping down and letting their people just bugger off into nothingness hasn't really worked out for us, so I guess you being up and about is better than not.
