This can't be happening....
Why now of all times!?
After being separated so long the one he loves the most is taken away by beings that are apart of the very race he's protecting!
And to top it off they took Bumblebee's T-cog away!
The young mech was still in recharge on a medical berth, some of his circuits had been fried by some electrical blast of some sort.
His right side was severely damaged.
When Bulkhead returned with Bumblebee unconscious on one arm, Optimus had thought he couldn't carry Megatron and Bumblebee at the same time and would ask for assistance...
But he never asked, he only looked at his leader with a dampered look.
Optimus sat atop on the bases roof in contemplation.
'I should have been there! I shouldn't have let him go out there so late...' Optimus thought.
'Do not worry Bumblebee we will try to make you whole again.' His own words that he told the scout earlier when he awoke played over in his processor.
He shouldn't have promised such a thing getting the young mech's hopes up.
They didn't have the resources or technology to get him a new T-cog.
And they had no leads on where MECH could be hiding, even Agent Fowler and the U.S. Military had a difficult time tracking them down.
He had failed Bumblebee...
He failed Megatron, he failed everyone as a Prime.
He couldn't even protect his own people, let alone his teammates.
"Maybe I'm too focused on protecting the humans..." Optimus said out loud.
Optimus dearly cared for the human race, but when he and the other's face MECH there were definitely going to be human casualties.
It was logical. There was no avoiding it unfortunately.
His team and even The Decepticons had to protect themselves from threats.
And MECH was most certainly a threat.
There was no getting around many human deaths if they successfully planned and executed a rescue and retrieval mission.
And as much as Optimus didn't want to, he and the other's would have to try to permanently stop MECH's organization or they would continue to be hunted.
But then a thought popped into the Prime's processor.
'Why should he care about humans who obviously don't care about others in there race?"
On that day after he had left the Zhejiang Province...
A MECH soilder a human took Miko hostage and forced them to GroundBridge him back to China after he sneaked in there base through the very machine they confiscated from the Decepticons.
That human only cared about protecting himself not Miko, a child!
He had seen and heard enough of the human news network everyday there was always a story of a human harming another.
Killing another.
It was a daily occurrence on this planet.
Do they think there race is so infinite they can just kill each other on a daily basis?
They are lucky there race is so prosperous, they should cherish every life on this planet because every one of them counts.
Optimus balled his servos into a fist in his lap, holding in all the emotions that wanted to spill out of him.
