Important!!! Please Read!!!
The following is a fun offshoot of my current fic "Ronin" with some references being made to my first TF fic, "The Departed".
If you're confused about certain elements within this one, you might want to skim/read through them to get the full backstory.
Optimus Prime 1 at post dot net
Prowl's report was running uncharacteristically late. Ever since the military strategist's transmission awhile back telling how he suspected Shockwave was planning something, the Autobot commander was always on keen alert for whatever news lay inside all incoming messages he received daily.
And as the Autobot leader sat, pondering the oracle prophecy he had experienced some time ago, telling notions of far away promised peace…peace that, in his innermost private thoughts, he sometimes wondered was drifting farther and farther away from their grasp, a sudden beeping noise came through his lap top, signaling an email message had been sent to him.
Seeing the address it was from, yellowbadaft, the Autobot leader opened the message, curious as to why the yellow scout had sent something so late, wondering if he had come across something of importance that couldn't wait until morning.
Reading the title "Forward: Tell Me This", the Autobot commander let out a deep chuckle. Sometimes, it seemed, he was so immersed with the seriousness that came with the job territory, he often forgot to take much needed time out for a breather every now and then.
Since Prowl's transmission is already running a little late, I think I will go ahead and reply to this. I can use the little break…I don't see the harm in that.
Does your name hold any significance in it's meaning?
Yes it does, as all of our names are representative of some form of our personal traits. Optimus is a variation on being Optimistic, never losing hope or the belief that all will end up on a positive path. Prime simply means, leading.
Three words that best describes your self?
I apologize. I'll have to let this one go. I've never been comfortable describing myself.
If you were another mech would you be friends with you?
Yes.
When was the last time your optics flooded?
It has been quite some time but I did let it come to me freely when we thought Jazz had been taken offline.
Blowing things up or creating things to blow something up?
Both have their strategic advantage points. Sometimes, one will call for one over the other. It just depends on the assessment of the situation involved. No two battles are ever the same.
Which Decepticon do you hate more? Starscream or Blackout?
I don't harbor 'hate' toward them or any other Decepticon. They are only doing what they were created to do just as we are doing what we have been created for. It is only favorable that we can achieve some amount of balance between the two different factions.
Favorite earth color?
I would have to say I do very much favor darker tones, although some lighter ones such as greens are interesting as well.
If you had a choice for another earth alt mode what would it be?
Although humans have invented some highly impressive technology and vehicle modes, I am very satisfied with the alt mode I have been given. It has served well.
Earth or Cybertron?
They both have much that is wonderful to them. Choosing one over the other is unreachable for me.
What are you reading right now?
Currently? A human written piece titled "The Art of War". It is most fascinating.
Drinking energon until your optics are seeing shooting stars or 'connecting' until your optics stay rolled to the back of your head?
Both experiences bring pleasurable feelings. However, there are not too many femmes left on Cybertron…unfortunately. They were strong and graceful. It is too bad.
Do you like the mech who sent this to you?
Yes, I do. He is one of the most dedicated soldiers I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Favorite personal saying/quote?
"Freedom is the right to all sentient beings."
Mech least likely to respond?
By reasonable deduction, I would have to suggest Thundercracker.
Whom do you want to reply the most?
I would be interested in reading everyone's replies to see the variance in them.
Making sure all of his fellow comrade's email addresses were in the box above, the Autobot leader pressed "Send" and then went back to patiently waiting on the update from Cybertron.
Author's End Note:
Stay tuned!!!
Ironhide and Ratchet are up next. And then it'll be Bluestreak with Thundercracker being last.
