OPTIMUS HAS YET TO TRULY COME TO TERMS WITH THE FACT that every other Cybertronian here was aware of his death save for him. Being brought to a foreign environment with no recollection of how he got there was bad enough , but being told of his own demise ? For any other 'Bot , it may have been too much to handle. Even as Prime , he finds it hard to wrap his mind around , no matter how long he spends trying to analyze every bit of information he gets surrounding his death.
LUCKILY HE WAS VERY WELL AWARE OF STARSCREAM'S PRESENCE HERE , no matter the . . convincing Megatron impression he had tried to pull on the forums. But as his optics focus on the Decepticon ( a title which he has yet to denounce , even considering the end of the war - but that doesn't come as much of a surprise to him ) they widen at the mere state of him. Both Cybertronians had their separate encounters with the Allspark , it seems. Close calls , perhaps , but Optimus was still not all too sure of the extent of his own demise. By the injuries present on the Seeker that stands before him , however , he can deduce that the patch job had to have been urgent. And recent , all things considered.
AS THE TWO STAND FACE TO FACE , neither of them make a move. He has no intent of meeting Starscream with hostility , no matter how their past meetings have gone. ❛ Starscream. Or should I say . . Megatron ? ❜ To think he would fall for such a thing. Though . . there was a small part of him that thought the whole ordeal just the slightest bit amusing.
