[The feed starts with a crash, the video a blurr of motion as the comm device is knocked to the floor. As the feed finally begins to focus, it offers an awkward angle of Optimus seated on a couch, the Magnus Hammer across his lap.

Why do you have a weapon that's bigger than your entire body? Did they run out of them in your size or something? Go steal one from a Ken doll or something.
[He will not say how he knows what that even is.]
How do you even use it and not hit yourself?

[Oh slag. That... was not something he wanted to share.]
While I appreciate your "concern," this isn't my weapon.

You should use it anyway and go smack that incompetent loser of a Decepticon leader from your universe on the head with it.
If you can manage to lift it enough without hurting yourself that is.

... It's... not really appropriate, that I use it. It isn't mine.

You're supposed to be a hero aren't you? How is it not appropriate to use it to vanquish evil or whatever it is you good guys do.

Okay, you see that larger red and blue mech who is hiding out in the room with you? You're an alternate of that.
You also have imitators who run around pretending to be you.
And yet you believe a loser like Ultra Magnus is some how better?
Kid, there is humble and then there is lacking a sense of selfworth all together.
Really, the only mech I can think of who is more of a loser than Ultra Magnus is Shockwave.

It has nothing to do with my sense of self-worth. [Yes it does.] It's just not my place to wield his Hammer.

And you are preaching to the choir. When you get someone stalking you about being a chosen one of god, then you can whine to me about not believing in destiny.
With that said, do you honestly believe you are somehow special? The odd one out of the bunch? Or are you just afraid to step up and accept responsibility?

I don't think that I am special. But... just because my alternates have been Autobot Commanders doesn't mean I will.
I'm not eligible for Elite Guard service. It's not possible for me to be Magnus.

And not that I really care but -- why aren't you eligible? Not tall enough?
Speaking of which, Optronix -- don't you have a hammer weapon thing too? Shouldn't it be bigger than his?
Reply
...While I don't particularly disagree with you about the Council, I don't have a 'hammer weapon' of any sort. So I suppose his gets to be 'bigger' by default.

It's not my weapon, but... does size really matter?
