"And I have seen them as well, in a way you nor anyone else ever can."
Optimus Prime straightened, every inch a Prime, no matter his own origins. "Sentinel was forged for the upper castes. He was given a biased, sanitized view, and trusted his advisers too blindly in regards to the corruption. He was a guardian, yes, an honorable mech; but optimistic in such a way that ruined any chance he might of had to see the true cause of the troubles. He was too privileged to understand."
Optimus smirked down at the other mech - everyone knew Optimus was originally anything but privileged.
"My optimism comes from a different source entirely."
The medic slid the last of the programming in place, scanning and rescanning the additions and coding-changes and securities one last time. As much as he abhorred adding the coding, his Prime's life was literally at the mercy of the coding fail-safes.
The rootkit programming was missed by his sweeps - for all appearances, Megatron was well and truly bound, and he pinged Prime his confirmation, disconnecting from the former gladiator.
