[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.]

And no, he's like. Completely opposite.

[Let him think on this a moment. There's a lot of dead Autobots that this could be.]
I'm sure he didn't mean it in a spiteful way.
[Rodimus just has no tact.]
Rodimus just says what he's thinking.
video;
Because that's kinda how it happened. And, last I checked? Bee was just fine.
[He made sure of it, even. Hauled the guy out of Steeljaw's stupid compactor trap himself.]
video;
[SUDDENLY EVERYTHING FALLS INTO PLACE. His eyes widen, feeling a little bad for Sideswipe. Sometimes...Rodimus was a little too forward with people.]
I think Rodimus was speaking of the Bumblebee of our universe. He...he died.
I'm sorry for the confusion.
video;
[Well, someone went from Bitchy to Serious in about .2 seconds.]
That... really sucks 'Con exhaust.
I'm. Y'know. I'm sorry.
video;
No need to apologize. You didn't know, and Rodimus didn't know about your situation.
Please don't hold it too much against him.
video;
Maybe later, I won't.
video;
I'm sure he didn't say it like that.
...
Did he.

[What do you think, OP?]
