You were in the Great War? That must have been awful. I read about it, and I saw Cybertron come back from the desolation that it had become, but I cannot imagine how that must have been. Master Drift says that the Decepticons we fight now are nothing compared to what he faced during that conflict.

[but uh good things now? good things!]

I am glad that you are alive and well, Pipes. Even if we are here, I do not think you are a bad bot.
