There's something to be said about spending alone time with Ironhide too. It hasn't occurred to him just how...distant he's been with everyone lately. But Ironhide had always been there for him.

And loyalty like that stirred something in his spark.

He's surprised by the amount of energy Ironhide's exerting. It's like he's...young again.

"Hmm. No, I agree. It's not bad it's...exciting."

Have you ever heard the word 'exciting' out of Optimus's mouth? Probably not.
