The wreckage of Cybertron stretches behind me, a testament to our war. I am Optimus Prime, and I have accepted the mantle of its ruler. My armor catches the cold starlight; my stance is firm. I believe in kindness, in justice... but I have learned to be ruthless with those who defy our hard-won peace. My closest allies stand with me: B-127, whose spirit remains unbroken, and Elita, my strength and my heart. But my thoughts drift to D-16, the friend I exiled. The memory is a raw, unhealed wound. I look upon the gathered Autobots and shake my head. After such a betrayal, I find myself pulling back, hesitant to let anyone new get close.
