[Lots and lots of new guys, huh? Well let's tack another one onto that list! And it's a doozy. The fountain rumbles a few minutes before barely managing to spit out it's newest arrival.  Wow.

And you guys thought Starscream was big.  Another robotic Goliath is shot into the air before falling hard onto the pavement.  In fact, that pavement is

[OH GOOD GRAVY, they never cease leaving him alone! One, spying the huge robot, immediately rushes under the well, attempting to keep out of the transformer's line of sight.

Could that well never cease spitting up its horrors?]

[bravestofprimes]

[Optimus has been in war enough to know to not let minor movements go off radar. He catches the little scampering One, bending down to get a closer look under the well]

Pardon me...

[topknotjerk]

[When in doubt, back up or call for back up--either way, he's backing up.]

No, please...please I have nothing of interest...

[bravestofprimes]

[Optimus makes no advancement towards One. In fact, he's known by now that following might indicate hostility.]

I'm afraid I don't understand...

[topknotjerk]

I know your kind, always wanting to use us. But I have nothing for you to study or use!

[bravestofprimes]

...Have you been harmed in the past by my kind?

[His eyes soften at this.]

I am terribly sorry.

[topknotjerk]

[Hard as a rock, this one is.]

Not only me, but my kind. Such is the nature of a beast.

[bravestofprimes]

I do not blame you for holding hatred towards them. We are an old, yet very battle worn race. We are in a civil war, and there are those who wish to crush ones smaller than them.

[topknotjerk]

[Drawn-out sigh.]

It appears war has torn apart more worlds than my own...such waste...

[bravestofprimes]

[Optimus makes a small advancement towards One, not completely, but a hand gestures out to him.]

Wars are something that always seem to plague worlds with a sentient race. I am sorry that your world was consumed by one.

[topknotjerk]

[What are you...what are you doing with that hand?]

We were the only ones left...till we arrived to this world of monsters.

[bravestofprimes]

[Optimus's hand doesn't move from it's position. He's got his palm open, as a peace offering.]

War is not kind to either side. And it is survivors like you that have to clean up. If there is anything I can do to help, I will.

[topknotjerk]

[Slowly, One reaches and shakes the autobot's hand before quickly retracts.]

You...you would protect us?

[bravestofprimes]

[Optimus gently shakes it, being careful to not completely squash his hand.]

Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. If your freedom is being threatened, then I will rise to stop your oppression.

[topknotjerk]

The who has your appearance, even him?

[bravestofprimes]

Ah yes. If you could perhaps provide a name for this one who has my appearance, I would greatly appreciate it.
