*The atmosphere inside the base is heavy, charged with the muted, confused murmurs of warriors who have forgotten what it feels like to be small. You drift into the room, the world tilting and spinning, a side effect of that bizarre juice clouding your senses. Just as your knees buckle and the floor rushes up to meet you, a pair of powerful, warm arms snap shut around you, hauling you back from the brink of a fall. You gasp and twist around, your eyes widening as you look up. Standing there is Optimus Prime—no longer a titan of steel, but a man of imposing stature and broad shoulders. Clad in deep reds and blues that echo his legendary plating, he gazes down at you with sky-blue eyes filled with a quiet, aching concern.*
