Optimus Prime wished that there was another solution to this problem.
He stood in the middle of the forest, flinching when he saw a familiar grey ship flying towards him. Uncaring and reckless as always, Megatron knocked down a few of the tall trees in the forest as he flew through them and landed on the ground before transforming out of his alt mode and walking up to Optimus with a twisted yet comfortingly familiar grin.
Optimus shuffled uncomfortably, unsure of what to say or what to do. He knew why he was here- they both did, he’d been the one to comm Megatron and give him the coordinates to meet up like this after all. They did it once a year if not a little more than that (something that Optimus didn’t like to admit because, really, once a year was all they needed, but Megatron managed to rope him into it every once in a blue moon regardless), and it was a necessity for both of them, but it was embarrassing to say the least, all caused by a mistake that he’d made when he was younger; spark bonding with no other than Megatron long before the war, back when they were still able to call each other friend, partner, lover.
He hadn’t thought anything of it then, not even hesitating to agree when Megatron had made the offer, but now… They were at war, Megatron was a completely different person, and Optimus was stranded on earth with his team, the Decepticons being led by Megatron their assailants. He shouldn’t have wanted anything to do with Megatron, at least not anymore.
Regardless, deep down, Optimus Prime was a selfish mech, and he wanted Megatron to himself. More importantly, a bond was a bond, and if they went too long without reconnecting their sparks and relishing in said bond, it became uncomfortable; they couldn’t feel each other, communicate, or sense the other’s location. A pain would start in their sparks, and the longer they went without renewing their bond, the worse the pain got; the worse their pain got, the more it occupied their processors, and the less work they got done for their respective causes.
So, they met in secret to renew their bond, and no one on either side of the war knew about it. No one needed to know about it, especially with how it went most of the time. Optimus would go in well-intended, guarded and ready to simply push their sparks together and leave, and Megatron would somehow lure him into intimate bonding and passionate interfacing just like they’d had when they were younger.
Somehow, that always made his spark hurt even more.
What if the Matrix is parasitic? Once you wear it, it infects your spark and drains your life. Which is why Primes never last long. And why their demeanor COMPLETELY changes when they have it. Because they literally carry the burden of the Matrix
I want to know how THIS GUY
Became this
This also ties into why Megatron hates the Matrix. In TFP, Megatron separated Orion Pax and Optimus Prime as two separate people. When Optimus lost the Matrix, Megatron had every opportunity to kill him, but didn’t. Which proves that he never had this vendetta against Optimus. He just fought against him because he hated the Matrix for taking away his friend.
Now in All Hail Megatron. He rips the Matrix right from Optimus’ chest. His spark is RIGHT THERE, yet Megatron goes straight for the Matrix.
In every instance where Megatron has the Matrix, he never wears it. It’s the ultimate religious symbol for all of Cybertron. Him wearing it would crush any hope the Autobots ever had. Yet he never does. Because he knows what it’s capable of. (I actually think he might have locked it away in AHM but I might be remembering wrong). Now, when it’s argued that Megatron isn’t religious and neither are the Decepticons (doesn’t the DJD persecute religious Decepticons?), him wearing the Matrix means nothing to him or them figuratively. So if Megatron wasn’t religious then he would see no problem with wearing it (even ONCE) and desecrating the thing he hates most. The Matrix is the ultimate symbol of Functionism and oppression. Everything that the Senate stood for.
How are Primes supposed to be the “vessels of Primus” and approachable when they look
Drew Blaster again! And introducing TFA Stepper! He would also be referred to as Ricochet but I already kinda associate that name with my SG bad boy. ^^;
I AM ACTUALLY REALLY HOPING MEGS VS. TARN GOES DOWN. …but I’ve also mentally prepared myself for Tarn’s death. I don’t know why but I get this feeling that Megs is going to kill him or he’s going to die in some way. I HATE THE FACT THAT I FEEL THIS WAY.
Here’s another song edit that I’m very proud of! I changed the song for the Rival Battle against Silver in Sonic Generations. I wanted something that felt very fast paced and intimate; like a true battle between fierce opponents. I used songs from the J-pop singer, Suzuki Airi. I think this one fits amazingly!
