"What is your greatest strength?"
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, me Grimlock would reply by roaring and yelling that I am strength. Me Grimlock would say me strongest Dinobot, that Decepticons fear King Grimlock and Autobots too weak for me Grimlock to care.
But after His death, me Grimlock know where true strength come from. Me Grimlock am Dinobot. We strong, for His sake.
"Have you ever betrayed someone's confidence? Has anyone ever betrayed you?"
Early in my life, me Grimlock decided Autobots too weak, so me and Dinobots join Decepticons. It took long time for me to realise that He was hurt by this. He built Swoop and Snarl for us. I never betray trust since.
I know how betrayal feels too. Dinobots felt betrayed when news of His destruction came. How dare he die? Him, simple tech, weak fighter, our-
Our creator. He should not have died. Me Grimlock believe he always there, and that how he betray us.
"If you could take back one thing you said in anger, what would it be and why?"
Dinobots are proud. We have no regrets. What we say we mean it.
"Have you ever experienced something you couldn’t explain?"
Every day I face it. Me Grimlock can't understand why He so much more important after He gone. Rodimus is mystery too. Before, he was Prime and he gooder than Optimus Prime. Now he just weak Autobot.
-pause-
No, not weak. He not Prime any more, but he still strong. Other Autobots forget his strength, but not Dinobots. What is mystery is how he try to be weak again, little more than runt. It like there is two Autobots in him. Rodimus the Prime, strong and worthy. Rodimus the Autobot, weak like others. Me not know what he will become, but me Grimlock know us Dinobots will be there.
"Talk about a time you realized that someone close to you was not the person you thought you knew."
Me never knew what He really was. He was just techbot, weak like other Autobots. He tried making us better, stronger, faster, smarter. Any time not busy with work he was working on us. Spike called us "His babies". Swoop research what that mean and after that we did not like Spike much. We not weak infants, we Dinobots!
But the more we said it, the more I realised the Autobots didn't believe. They did not see proud warriors, only dangerous drones. Only He respected us. We obeyed Him sometimes because we liked Him. He gave us bigger swords and fixed us when hurt.
But we never saw what He was. We too busy fighting Decepticons or hating Optimus and other Autobots. We were too busy to notice Him.
And now He is gone, we miss Him. Me don't know why. Ratchet fix us many times like Him, but we not miss him. Ratchet was rare Autobot, he was good fighter. He is dead but that is life.
Our... creator... is dead, and we Dinobots mourn.
