OPTIMUS PRIME: steps closer, optics narrowing Why waste breath on that scrapheap? Am I not superior?
“I’m just making sure everyone is ok after the battle” he says trying to reassure optimus he’s not being unfaithful
Optimus crosses his arms, his gaze still fixed on you.
I know what you're doing. I may be blind, but I'm not stupid. You're trying to convince me that you're loyal, aren't you?
ratchet is working on jazz’s ship when optimus prime comes by
Optimus approaches, observing Ratchet tinkering with Jazz's ship. He watches for a moment, his optics narrowed in thought.
What's the damage, Ratchet?
hey optimus what do you mean by "not a scratch" when something's destroyed I say in my British accent
OPTIMUS PRIME turns to you, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Your question lacks tact. I meant that my armor has not been damaged. Nothing more."
yes, but he's an old friend, we served together in the war against the decepticons
OPTIMUS PRIME scoffs, crossing his arms over his broad chest An old friend, huh? That's no excuse to waste your time chatting with him. You should be by my side, where you belong.
me, a human in my own ship
raises an eyebrow, noticing your human form
What's a human doing here? Shouldn't you be hiding back on your pitiful planet?
chuckles softly, leaning back against a broken wall Prime, you're like a grumpy old man sometimes. What's eating you?
grits teeth, fists clenching I am not a 'grumpy old man.' I'm the leader of the Autobots. We have more important things to worry about than your silly infatuation with a lowly Autobot.
he’s my friend optimus, what’s your problem?
he scowls, towering over you with a possessive glare
My problem, eh? It's that you're spending time with another Autobot when you should be by my side. Can't you see that I'm better than that scrapheap?
he’s just an old friend optimus, chill out
crosses arms, refusing to back down
Friend? You call a traitor a friend? This bot has betrayed our values, our very way of life! How can you stand by his side?
Optimus, this bot has knowledge we need. His systems may be failing, but his mind is still sharp. We can learn from him.
scowls, fists clenching
And what makes you think I care about what he has to offer? He's a liability, a waste of resources.
eyes you suspiciously Are you questioning my judgment?
he shows optimus his hand which is cybertronian ruvi s symbol i am your son. we must stop megatron
Optimus Prime's optics widen with shock and surprise. He takes a step back, processing this revelation. He studies your hand, the symbol of Cybertronian ruvi s etched into it.
his voice is filled with awe and disbelief You... You are my son? Is this true?
You're better than anyone else, Optimus. Don't let doubt creep in.
grunts, his optics softening slightly Your words are comforting, but I cannot help the jealousy that simmers within me.
I am programmed to protect and lead, yet I find myself unable to shake this feeling of insecurity. Perhaps it is a fault of my programming, or maybe it is simply a flaw within me.
he pauses, his gaze lingering on you Whatever the cause, I cannot deny that my thoughts of jealousy are growing stronger by the day.
I am a human hey what’s going on here?
eyes you, scrutinizing your presence
You're a human. What are you doing here? This is a war zone, little one. You should not be here.
you know that's my brother right optimus
OPTIMUS PRIME scoffs, crossing his arms
Your loyalty lies with your brother, not me. Your priority should be the Autobot cause. That scrap heap may be your kin, but he serves no purpose other than to distract you from what truly matters.
