Okay, so I will be discussing about transformers films that I have seen over the years and hoping to have your own thoughts with them. I know it would be a bit much giving that the movies did came out, but this is my story and I will speak about what I have going in my mind.

That being said, let's discuss about the one Transformers Film that I felt like it is a proper film within the franchise. That film is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.

Yes, you heard me, this film is a proper film as it doesn't have all that Michael Bay slog that we had to endure. No military presense, not many useless characters that mean nothing in the franchise, no bad looking Transformer design, no bad Transformers film. Yes, I know there are a few nit picks here and there. There was the the fact that the aforementioned Maximals rarely made much of an appearance until in the middle and end of the film. And the title is called Rise of the Beasts and the beasts only made an appearance in the middle of the film, with the exception of Airazor. And of course, there's no Megatron in the film. Not even in the teaser. Don't get me wrong, building up Megatron is the best way to give him a proper reveal and even if they retcon Unicron after the whole Last Knight debacle, it still wasn't enough to please us. I just hope in the next installment, we get to finally get to see Megatron and what he looks like.

Speaking of next installment, there was one thing that caught my off guard. Now near the end, where the Noah Diaz was getting a job, we see some heavy military gear in a huge reveal. At first, I thought that, shit, we are dealing with a pre N.E.S.T. situation. But then I saw a card that said GI Joe and I suddenly realized what it was. It seemed like Hasbro was starting to create its own Cinematic universe to compete with others. Now don't get me wrong, having a crossover between Transformers and GI Joe seems fitting as these two had their own movie franchise, be that up and down. But... I don't know... Even if there is plan of a crossover, what's the plot, who are the enemies, will the cast from the original films be there, will Megatron appear on the crossover? Those are a lot of questions that need to be answered. Not to mention that we have no clue if they are planning that crossover anytime soon. Giving the writers strike and the later Transformers flims never got the respect it deserve. And trust me, there is one movie I found to be the perfect transformers film, only to have its advertisement ruin it. Oh don't worry... I'll get to that one on the next chapter. But for now, this is one of the better Transformers films next to Bumblebee and I will give it a good enough recommendation. Go see it for yourself.

Now that the review is out of the way, let us proceed with next chapter of Goji-Prime's Origin. But first, let's take a look at the reviews and hit counter.

Hmm... Well, unfortunately, it isn't much to work with. No reviews and almost thirty hits. That's just sad... Then again, we are talking about a chapter I posted a few days ago at the time of posting this, so it won't reach the popularity mark anyways. Maybe in the coming weeks, we might be able to see it go down. So until then, let us see how this chapter plays out.

On this chapter of Goji-Prime's origin, while Goji was recovering from his injuries and trying to walk again, he's been keeping a big of a secret from his family and didn't know how to say it. But with her family gone, the only person she could say it to, would be the Autobot he looks up to. What will Arcee's reaction be?

Chapter Notes

Now, there is a bit of discrepancy with this chapter. See, Goji is mostly a guy, but with his OC, Goji, he would consider the character to be a mech with a femme body. And when being a member of Sapphire Foxx for a long time, the idea of a guy wishing to be treated like a girl is mostly a recurring thing. So in this chapter, the Goji OC wishes to be a girl from that point forward. Now I know where is a lot of flack with this whole gender thing. Hell, I didn't know Goji was a guy until one of the images he posted on DeviantArt claims to be a guy. But hey, I all right if it involves fanfiction stories so I might as well roll with it. Hell, I showed Goji the chapter on Discord to see what he thinks of it and he liked it. So I hope you all would appreciate it too.

Chapter 3: Goji's Deep Secret

There is an old saying when you are born and growing up…

Sometimes you need to walk before you run.

For me, it is a long and agonizing process. It has been weeks since I 'Died' and 'Reborn' and I need to relearn everything from the ground up. Thankfully I was able to speak normally as my voice box was fully repaired and I don't have to worry about speaking a few words. But walking was difficult as the damage to my human body was transferred over to my Cybertronian body. Because of that, I need to relearn how to walk all over again. Still, at least I got someone helping me through it.

"That's it… Just one pede after another… You can do it…."

I was in recovery as I was holding onto the bars for support while taking things one step at a time. In front of me was Arcee, telling me to take one step at a time, getting closer to her. The funny thing about using Cybertronian legs is that their mechanics are far more complicated than that of a human. Guess it has something to do with the gears operating differently. Regardless, I need to get back on my feet, or pedes, again. Can't do anything while I'm sitting on a hoover wheelchair, right?

When I started to relearn to walk, it wasn't my best. Whenever I take one step, I trip and fall face first and drop backwards. And don't get me started with trying to stand. That was a chore to get to. Regardless, it took me days to try to actually walk. But now, with the guidance of Arcee, I was getting close to walking normally. Just need to take a few steps and…

"There you go… Just a few more steps forward. You can do it!"

The voice of Arcee pushing me forward really does help me a lot as she encourages me to keep pushing forward. A smile spread across my face as I took another step forward. But as I placed my pede on the floor, it buckled and I was immediately tripping.

"Whoa!"

I fell head first to the floor again until I felt someone grabbing onto me. Looking up, I could see Arcee's face as she sighed in deep relief.

"Phew… That was too close for comfort. A few more seconds and you would've disfigured your face. I could only imagine what Ratchet would have to say when he saw you looking like a mess. Are you okay?" she asked me.

No doubt, she saw me falling and rushed to catch me. Guess I have a guardian angel watching over me, and it's from someone I look up to. With a smile, I said with my fully repaired voice box, "Yeah… I'm good. Thanks."

Arcee gave a warm smile and responded with, "Don't mention it. Anything for my sweet little spark."

We looked at each other for a little bit until Arcee decided to end the recovery session.

"I… I think it's time we end recovery for today. Come. Let me take you to your wheelchair and give you your energon intake."

She soon carried me by the shoulder to my hoover wheelchair and placed me on the seat. Picking up my energon cup, she gave it to me and I took a sip. Got to say, after a while I got used to the taste. Sure, I miss eating actual foods on Earth, but since this is the only thing I have to consume, I guess I have to learn to live with it for the rest of my Cybertronian life. As I was drinking, Arcee was acknowledging me for my recovery, but had some worry in her voice.

"I got to say, Goji, you seem to be improving on your walk. On the first few solar cycles, you couldn't muster a step. Now you are taking no more than ten. You really are determined to get on your pedes. Though, I think you are pushing it a bit too much. That last step you made was too forced. You need to take it easy if you want to walk normally again."

As I stopped drinking my energon, I sighed and told her, "But if I can't push myself, I won't be able to walk again. You know I can't fight when I'm in this wheelchair."

Arcee sighed and assured me, "Still… It is best if you take it easy on yourself. If you push yourself too hard, you might not walk at all. I can't let my sweet spark be bound to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Remember what I said. You are you."

I drank my cup of energon and listened to her words. She always mentioned those words to me since I was reborn. That no matter if I was human or Cybertronian, I will always be me. It's just her words that got me in deep thought as there was something that was bothering me for some time, before the Decepticon attack. Growing up, there was something that nagged at the back of my head. Something I had kept to myself since I was little. I was planning to tell my family about it when the time was right. But after the attack and the loss of my family, I don't know who to turn to for my little…dilema. What to do…?

"Goji…?"

My thoughts were immediately interrupted as I turned to see the worried look in Arcee's face.

"Are you all right, sweet spark? You seem a little…out of it just now."

I could tell that Arcee was concerned for me and I gave a deep sigh through my vents.

"I'm good, Arcee. It's just that…" I was a little hesitant in what I was going to say. If my family was alive today, then it would've made things easier for me and, hopefully, they would accept it. But Arcee? The very femme I looked up to? Shall I talk to her about this? And how will she react to it? This is a difficult decision that I need to make. Taking a breather, I decided to muster up some courage and asked her something.

"Say, Arcee. If I was to tell you something, will you be alright with it?"

Arcee looked at me strangely and wondered what I'm talking about. "What do you mean by that?"

"I mean if I had a secret I kept to myself for so long that I just told you this secret, would you still be okay with me as a friend, or teammate?" I try to explain that to her.

Arcee starred on and was wondering where I was going with it. So out of curiosity, she answered, "That depends… What is this secret you are keeping to yourself?"

Looking down, I wonder how she will react to my secret. So with hesitation, I asked, "Well… I was wondering… You think I feel better…as a girl…?"

There was a brief silence within the recovery room as Arcee was caught by surprise for a bit. "That's… That's a bold question. Why ask that?"

I could tell that she was confused and needed a better understanding of why I would prefer to be a girl. So I tried to explain to her why I thought of it. "It's… It's complicated. See… Growing up, I was more interested in girly things than what guys do for a living. I watched girly cartoons, dressed up in clothes similar to a girl, and always tended to roleplay as a girl. I guess I didn't feel comfortable as a boy when I was born. So when I decided to do things girls do, you could say I was compelled to be a girl when I grew up. I… I hope you understand."

Arcee listened to my reason and didn't know how to respond. A young mech, wishing to be a femme? That was unprecedented! Still, there is the worry of what the family thought.

"Does…your family know of this? That you want to be a girl?"

That caught me in a loop. She wants to know if I talked to my family about this. But… "Well… The truth is… I never talked to my family about this. I was planning to speak to them about that when I'm older, but then, the cons attack my home and…" and sighed, not wanting to remember what happened on that day.

"Oh… I see…" Arcee said, realizing that with my family gone, I would never tell them of this secret.

"But…" I continued, "that is why I wanted to talk to you about it. Since you are a femme, I might be comfortable talking to you about it. I know it sounds really weird to talk to you of this and I know you might be uncomfortable hearing me talk about these strange things. But if there is anyone I want to share this secret other than my family, it's you. So let me ask again… You think I feel better as a girl?"

Arcee was silent after hearing my reason why I asked such a question. Looking at her stare, I could tell that she was taken back by this bizarre question. I turned away and face palmed myself after blurting all of that. "Maybe I shouldn't have said all that. Slag it, Goji! Why did you have to blurt it out to the one Autobot you look up to? She might think of you as a weirdo now."

"Goji?"

I heard Arcee's voice sounding a little low as I turned to her, wondering what she wanted. I soon saw her looking down and was silent for a brief moment. It was then that I heard her say something I never expected.

"That was…very brave of you."

I blinked and was confused by what she just said.

"What?"

Arcee looked at me and smiled warmly. "You heard me. You were very brave in telling me this secret. I must admit, I was caught off guard by that question. But looking at you, I could tell that you kept this secret for so long and was afraid of what happened if you let it out. I am glad you told me that, otherwise, it will eat you alive now than mentioning it sooner. And if they were still around, I'm sure your family would've been proud of you standing up for who you truly are."

I heard her reason why she's proud of me and my optics light up. Just to hear her say that I was brave in revealing who I truly was, but also knowing that my family would be okay with me being who I should be, warms my spark completely.

"So…" I soon asked, "Does that mean you are okay with me being a girl?"

Arcee got up and walked over to me, getting a good look at my body. Rubbing her chin, she stated, "Let's see… While you have the basic protoform body of a youngling, it is similar to a femme with the lack of breastplates. So maybe we can find a way leaving you a femme when you get your armor upgrades and vehicle form to fit your structure. Also, your voice box sounds like a femme, but is a little rugged from the mech side."

I rubbed my throat after hearing her statement and sighed a bit. After all, I had bad vocal cords that made me sound like I was a girl, whether it is because of my disability or not. And seeing that my bad vocal cords got transferred over to my new protoform body after the experimental transfer was pretty much a dead give away.

Rubbing my neck, I chuckled and said, "Well… What can I say? I have had bad vocal cords since I was born as a human. And even if I had voice training when I was a kid, my voice is still shot as it sounds more like a girl then a boy. So… Yeah… You could say I'm stuck with a voice of a girl for a long time. Does that mean…?"

Arcee couldn't help but to laugh it off and said, "If you wish to be referred to a femme, then I'll support you for it."

The moment I heard her say it, I was gleaming and smiling from audio receptor to audio receptor. It was then I did something completely unexpected. I immediately bolted up off of my hover wheelchair and tackled Arcee into the floor.

"THANK YOU!"
"WHOA!"

We both tumbled to the ground as I was so elated that she would accept me as a girl.

"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Oh! You have no idea how relieved I am! I can't believe that I- Ow!"

I felt my legs in pain and tried to rub it while moaning in agony.

"Are you okay, sweet spark?" Arcee asked as she was on the floor with me on her.

I groaned and responded with, "I'm fine… It's just that I was too excited that I forgot that I am still recovering. Guess my legs are still a little shot."

Arcee grinned at me and said to me, "Well… We will celebrate your official day of being a femme after we get you walking again." She soon laughed it up as she was doing her best in lightening the mood.

I listened to her advice and laughed it up as well. Pretty soon we were both laughing as what happened was indeed hilarious.

And so… My new life has begun, but it's not because I am Cybertronian. Oh no. But it is my new life as a female. And honestly, I couldn't be any happier.

So that would do it for the third chapter. A bit short, yes, but it did give a clear detail on what it was all about. I know that not a lot of people would like this chapter due to the whole controversy. But if that's the way I need to get some eyes on my stories since my hiatus, then so be it. Still, I hope you enjoy this story. Stay tune for the next chapter where we get a unique history lesson and am announcement both Goji and Sari didn't like to hear.
