Werl, I (finally) saw the first TF: Cybertron episode and was very disappointed with the results (I live in Australia so we never got to see the series, though to be honest I'm kinda glad). The first thing I noticed was how Optimus was very quick to agree when Primus flashes his optics in a very meaningful way. So I wrote this.
I do not own Transformers. I do own some Transformer figures and videos but that sadly isn't the same thing.
Do You Doubt Primus?
Primus looked on as Optimus Prime flew away in search of the Cyber Planet Keys. In the back of his mind, little cogs were turning around (1) which proceeded thoughts as follows;
1. 'That was easy.'
2. 'Geeze, after I asked him if he doubted me, he agreed.'
3. 'Wow.'
4. 'Hey, maybe other autobots might do the same thing!'
5. '...I could have fun with this.'
He headed off back into the whirly-thing (He'd vowed to rename it one of these days) and headed off to find another "Heroic" autobot.
G1 Optimus Prime was manning (2) Teletran1 alone in the Ark, when a whirly-thing appeared behind him. He gaped as a figure emerged from the mystical swirls.
"I am Primus!" It spoke. "There is something I need You to do!"
"What is it, O great Primus?" Optimus looked upon this figure from Cybertronian Religion.
"There is a Great Evil (3) in the Galaxy. And only You have the Power to Vanquish it" He paused for dramatic effect. "To Save the Universe, you must... " He proceeded with the request.
Optimus leaned back in shock. "Are you telling me to...?"
"Yes. That is what You must do, in order to defeat the Great Evil."
Optimus pondered the idea. "You're sure about this?"
Primus' optics glowed. He thundered "Do You Doubt Primus?"
A few seconds of silence was all that was needed. Optimus nodded, "Alright. I will meet this demand and defeat this Great Evil (4) of which you speak." He transformed and rolled away.
Primus giggled to himself and summoned up the whirly-thing. It was time to find another Hero to mess with.
Skywarp and Thundercracker weren't doing much evil. It was just routine patrol. There was no Great Evil lurking around, if there was, it certainly wouldn't hang around them.
Their sensors picked up an autobot signature a way off, so they went to investigate.
Sure enough, there was an autobot. Optimus Prime, in fact. He was on top of a large hill, and facing towards the nearest city. But the thing that made the two decepticons doubt their optics was the fact that he was dressed in a hula skirt.
He also had one leg up in the air and was waving his arms around in a way of keeping balance. He was singing a song on the top of his voice box.
"Standing on one leg is quite tricky
Come on try it too, everyooooone.
Put one foot in the air
And just hold it tightly there
and hop-hop-hop around
That's how it's done"
The two decepticons took one look at each other and, on a silent agreement, never spoke of this occurrence again.
(1) Literally.
(2) Or rather, 'roboting'
(3) Some people have the ability to pronounce quotation marks. Primus, it seemed, had the ability to pronounce capital letters.
(4) Due to their need to spout many 'we can do it' speeches, Optimuses (5) can pronounce capitals as well.
(5) A question that has pondered this Transfan's existance: What do you call a group of Optimus Prime s. Optimuses? Optimus? Optipie? Its almost as bad as Moose.
Please feel free to review my first TF fic and tell me how I did. Or answer the question about the plural. Or flame me. - Wait. Forget that last one. Constructive criticism is appreciated and all who review are awsome.
