I chose humanity

Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers just Peaches, Abby and Crystal. This is a little side poem I came up with after reading a few quotes from DOTM.

Sentinel Prime, you wondered why Optimus chose humanity over saving Cybertron

Well, first of all there were flaws in your plan that were pretty damn obvious that you failed to see

and second, you did in fact betray yourself and your own ideals

You may not have gotten a more detailed answer from him and you won't get to hear this from me

But I will still say my reasons for thinking highly of humans

I chose humanity because I was raised by two loving humans who did not judge me

They disciplined me when needed, encouraged me to achieve my goals, and told me I was wonderful

They were there throughout the best times of my life, including my first visit to Kings Dominion

And the worst times, including when I had discovered what I really was

I chose humanity because there are some humans who don't think of Autobots as just "machines"

They know that you, Optimus and every other Cybertronian is more than that

Ashley, Colonel Lennox, Epps, Graham, General Morshower and others see us as their equals

Abby will see me, Crystal, Sideways and every other Cybertronian she will grow up with as a person

Whether I'll tell her about you is another thing entirely

I chose humanity because Earth will always be considered my home as I never got to see Cybertron

Optimus, Ratchet, Sideswipe and many others have told me about their memories of living there

Though it's not the same as actually having lived there

I also think that humans will someday learn to take care of their resources after you nearly took all of them

If they didn't, I would be surprised

I chose humanity because I love their music and the fact that they have the same feelings that Autobots have

Joy, sadness, excitement and more emotions too numerous to list are all conveyed in many different songs

I also am grateful for the many Autobots and humans alike who have been there for me

Too many times to count on both hands and feet that I have in my human form

I chose humanity because two humans chose to give me a home and a life despite me being different

Filled with so many things that everyone should get a chance to experience, both the good and the bad

I would not be where I was today if I hadn't been raised this way and instead was a government experiment

I don't think about "What if?" all the time though

But I hope that you'll understand

These reasons I listed as to why I chose humanity over Cybertron
