[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.

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.

... 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!]

[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.

"Talked with Cybertron" how?
[She doesn't sound skeptical. More like someone conducting a debriefing.]

[It's not exactly a surprise, what with whole Matrix bearing business.
And probably better Optimus than Rodimus really.]
In what fashion?

[Because while Primes (and Optimuses) aren't really a big deal in his universe, he knows enough about other universe to know that they're usually Kind Of A Big Deal.
And Mayday is kind of the opposite of a big deal.]

Man, if only Bumblebee was here to see this...
