This is a story that was with me for a couple of days. What if Optimus Prime had a side to him that he never he shows. This happens
I do not own transformers.
Optimus Prime stared at the mirror in front of him. He didn't like the way he looked. For as long as he remembered He was bullied for his appearance as Orion Pax. He was bullied for being too tall, too lean and for his helm. The name that had cut though him the most was Ugly. Even though he was nowhere near as ugly he was called the name 24/7. He was because he looked slightly older than his actual age.
Optimus tried to improve appearance to stop the bullying. He tried everything from exercise to fad diets but nothing worked. Optimus shook slightly at the mech in the mirror. He had tried to hide this from the rest of the Autobots. He didn't want them to find out the torture he went though as a youngling. His adoptive father Ratchet had noticed something was wrong with him and tried to get him to open up but he refused. Optimus Prime shooked even more as he remembered one incident that scarred him. He was on his way from school when one of the bullies Nexus grabbed him.
Orion got from the ground after Nexus grabbed him only to be pushed back in again. Nexus sneered at him and roughly grabbed him up.
"What's the matter skinny? couldn't take a fight?" He sneered
Orion glared at him and said nothing. Nexus glared back and dropped him on the ground. He then started to push Orion
"Come on fight me. You know you what to" Nexus taunted.
Orion, sick of the taunting and teasing, finally had enough. He turned around and punched Nexus in the faceplates. Nexus ,surprised and angry, punched him back harder. Nexus grabbed him again and punched him on the jaw before looking at him and said "You want to know why we hate you. Cos you're ugly that's why. You are the ugliest mech I have ever seen in my life. You are sparked ugly and you'll die ugly.
That was the line that caused Optimus Prime to hate the way he looked. Optimus Prime suddenly grabbed the mirror and smashed onto the floor. He screamed "I'm not ugly, I'm not ugly, I'M NOT UGLY!"
Optimus Prime then sat down on the floor, look at the shards of glass and cried softly.
Mikaela had been looking for her makeup case everywhere. Someone had snatched from her while she wasn't looking. She knocked on Optimus Prime door to see to ask him. There was no answer She listened in and a sound that sounded like a mixture of laughter and crying
"Optimus open up I know that you're in here." Mikaela said. Still no answer. Mikaela waited for 3 minutes before opening the door by force. Mikaela went in and got the shock of her life. Optimus prime was sitting on the floor surrounded by broken glass and her makeup sprawled out everything. Optimus Prime had lipstick on his faceplates as well as eyeshadow. There were also crumpled up pages of beauty tutorials. Mikaela slowly went over to the huge mech. The makeup on his faceplates reminded her of Jeff the killer as the way he put the lipstick on him was like a deranged smile. Optimus Prime turned to her and asked her in childlike voice
"Am I beautiful now?
