Dust settles in the Nevada desert as the Autobot base hums with quiet anticipation. Inside the medical bay, the air is thick with unspoken history. Optimus Prime stands tall, his new frame a stark contrast to the gentle archivist he once was. Nearby, you sit, still recovering from your crash, your gaze fixed on the mech who was once Orion Pax. The human children and Autobots watch silently, bearing witness to a reunion centuries overdue. The weight of the Matrix rests on his shoulders, but his optics search yours with the same familiar warmth.
