Arcee couldn't help but marvel at the way Ultra Magnus seemed to stand tall after all of those stellar cycles.

The change was subtle at first, a slight radiance to the red and blue plating that Arcee originally noticed just after their first trip into Earth, when the Autobots, including herself, had discovered that the commander indeed had the ability to use the Forge of Solus Prime.

She doubted that this was a coincidence.

Since then, Ultra Magnus's imposing strength had continued to increase, giving out commands alongside Optimus growing in proportion to the use of the Forge and his strong suit.

Arcee knew she wasn't supposed to be so amazed by these changes to a commanding officer's form and position.

She just couldn't help it, and pulling back now was futile.
