"Sounds like something Optimus would agree to, but I still think it's weird. And not possible, even we couldn't stay here for thousands of years." So there! His argument is clearly the better one.

"Well the first time it was because he, I don't know, felt bad about us getting stuck on Earth and then getting shot and killed. So we held a vote for another leader. And then the last time was because he thought he was the war incarnate and in order for everyone to get along, had to leave." Things Rodimus shouldn't be doing: telling a tiny infant organic this. Things he is doing: exactly that. "It clearly didn't help because Starscream's in charge and I--"

Wait. Hold up.

"I knew leaving him in charge was a terrible idea. Look what he's done!"
