once a prime

captainrodimus:

School committee member: Megatron’s hearing will commence shortly. A short reminder to all - he has several accusations cast against him. Setting school property on fire ‘because all students weren’t treated equal’. Refusing to remove his fusion cannon - even though it’s against the dress code. Trying to grope one Optimus Prime. Demanding more funds for the poetry club…

*Starscream breaks into the hall* 

Starscream: OBJECTION! Megatron is too stupid to do any of those things. He only got a D on his last math test!

Megatron: *loud squinting* 

Starscream: Shh! I’ve totally got this. I’m the leader of the debate club! *dramatic cloak-swishing happens here* 

Little known fact about me: before my first engagement with a character I will re-read their page on TFwiki. Right now Trailcutter is my subject of review.

My brain is trying to shut down.

Electrical current charged through the gun-metal back blaster’s barrel and ignited the powered filaments; Prime rose in a well-practiced movement of equal parts strength and grace. Although he was heavy and his size not unremarkable, the former peace officer conducted himself with ease and poise.

Determination had etched itself across his face, into the very hinges and seams that creased the outer edges of the infamous battlemask. What few had ever known and fewer still lived to tell the details, was that the once Supreme Commander of the Autobot forces had a vile hatred and fadeless fear of Sparkeaters.

And whatever Optimus Prime feared he faced with a resolution unforeseen on the field.

"This is not the ship for you," he announced to the sparkeater that touched upon his kibble. Prime wanted not be taken off-guard by such a creature, a monster that was more of lore and legend than that of study. Into the darkness where such creatures would lurk he stood, blue servos that gripped without fault on his weapon of choice. Illumination from the barrel filled the dimly lit room and he moved towards the exit.

{{ A surprise, considering that our friendship has become tentative at best. }}

Among the many who had been counted as an old friend by Optimus might not always fit the fill, and at the current moment the Prime felt his friendship with Prowl was shaky.

{{ Hmmm. }} Although the acknowledgement was easily inscribed with two choice characters, the noise that brought life through sound was heavy and deep, bellowed out from the broad chassis of the heavy-hauler. Optimus' familiarity with the psychiatrist was limited at best, and yet it still managed to give him something to pause.

{{ Ultra Magnus, with consideration our working relationship and the current problems that face us both: I am not entirely positive that is.. prudent. }}

{{ However.. thank you. }}

[ Likewise. ]

He misses the simplicity and comfort of their relationship, as friends and as lovers. UGH. WHAT HAPPENED TO ROLLER.

I have my favorite theory: I believe he became Tarn, but even if that is true... HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? Is a Mole? Did something happen to change his ideology? Does Optimus KNOWWW?????
