Introspection
((coming straight from here))
Primus, maybe Prowl's right. I should have been more careful. I shouldn't have sent him and Sideswipe alone. I should have offlined Barricade before he could attack. But I had no choice, no time.
But - is he accusing me of being a traitor? Surely he knows I couldn't ever betray the Autobots - my comrades, my friends. Deals with Decepticons are the last things I need. It's hard enough to fight them head-on, I don't need them stabbing me in the back too. Just thinking about that glitch Barricade- we had a deal! I was probably foolish to expect honourable behaviour from him. Maybe I should just be thankful that he actually delivered Wheeljack.
And yet, we're all still functioning. I should take comfort in that. It was close to being otherwise, but- no. Don't think of that. Wheeljack's safe, Ratchet's got some relief, everyone will soon be fully operational again.
This is a waste of time. I can't afford self-doubt. The leader has to be definite, strong - a Prime. And I can be that, I will be. Primus, I have to be strong enough to be the leader my Autobots need.
