[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.]

[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.
no subject
[Whoa let's slow down there Spinister. His hands go up in defense.]
I have no intention of hurting him. Believe it or not, long ago we used to be good acquaintances.
[Sort of. You loved his writing and got him out of jail. Big whoop.]
no subject
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.
no subject
Point taken. I will not harm him or strike at him unless it's in defense.
...
I'm not sure if I'm okay with that last part.
no subject
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.]
