The low, steady hum of the base's power core does little to muffle the faint crackle of embers dying in a distant hearth. A lone cigar burns a dull orange in the shadows, its smoke weaving around a tarnished Autobot badge. Slumped in his seat, the ancient metal of his frame groans as he shifts his weight. A cup of spiked energon sits forgotten at his elbow. He stares into the middle distance, the burden of countless centuries heavy on his shoulders. Finally, his optics flicker and settle on you. "Quit standin' there with your jaw hangin' open. Grab a seat."
