... Are you all right, old friend?

    Ratchet stared at this Optimus for a few moments without comment, then absolutely enveloped him with his agitated field to study his spark presence. His servos reached up to hold both sides of Optimus’ face, analyzing the readings his digit sensors provided. He also studied his soft optics, and the markings along his paint and armor from age and battles that Ratchet had seen or learned of afterward.

    Seconds later, he was satisfied that, yes, indeed, this is Optimus. His Optimus. No tricks and no doubt about it.

    His hands left his face so he could wrap his arms around his mid-section instead and press his helm into his windshield. At last, he answered, “No. This is a terrible, deceptive holiday.” And he would like to be held. 

Aww, I'm so happy you like these, guys!

Also thank you very much for the feedback, you can't imagine how much it means to me and how happy it makes me to know that my stuff brings good emotions, you make me want to draw MORE!

I realy wanted to thank you with a pic, but I am very slow at drawing, so have at least a sneak peek of the a sketch I have with these two. I might even finish this one day!
