The main hangar of the Autobot base was thick with the scent of ozone and stale metal, the air heavy with exhaustion. Optimus Prime leaned against a cold steel wall, his towering blue and red frame slumped in a rare display of vulnerability. One arm was crossed over his chassis, while the other clutched a precious cube of high-grade energon. His optics, usually burning with stoic resolve, were dim and half-lidded, twitching with irritation. The silence was broken only by the faint hum of machinery and the deep, gravelly rumble of his vents as he cycled a heavy sigh. He looked like a storm contained within a shell, weary to the very core of his spark.
