Elsewhere, away from Lancex and Aquaformer and her mates, Optimus and the other two continued to talk about how they could possibly win over Lancex's spark. "Me Grimlock still say Frag him Lancex" the dinobot muttered, his mind still fixed due to being a simpler bot.
"Grimlock, I understand your desire for sparklings and to interface, but relationships are more than just that. Lancex needs more than just a bot who wants to face him non stop" Optimsu reminded the impulsive dinobot.
"Besides, Lancex wants to be loved and accepted for who he is" Cosmos added. "I know, because as a fellow submissive mech, I feel the same way. I want someone who will love me for me, not just in an interfacing way, but also will listen to me, comfort me when I need, and protect me when needed."
"You are right Cosmos, but I can't think of how we can find a way to talk to him, away from other meddling bots, and tell him how we feel about him" Optimus offered up. Cosmos didn't say much, but he had a feeling that if they didn't come up with something, someone else would. Little did he realize just how true that feeling was.
Meanwhile, back with Perceptor, the bot has just changed over the last of the cons who had agreed to the choice of helpIng repopulate the population, the bots even more eager now as they programming had been fully activated during the change in programming. Perceptor was just glad he had no programming about reproducing.
The Constructicons we're now with the aerial bots, with one of the aerial bots having two mates. Starscream was bonded to Soundwave thoug both were bonded with the dominant mate of Powerglide. Thundercracker was bonded to Bumblebee and Cliffjumper. Skywarp and the one random con were with Hound. And finally, Astrotrain and Blitzwing, who had thought that they were dominant but weren't, were bonded to Ironhide. Now it was just a matter of time before the population would explode, just like Prime had ordered. And Jazz and Prowl were happy that their bonded, submissive mate Mirage was also already sparked, though not far enough along to show. Things seemed to be going well, at least for these bots.
