"If they could give advice and make decisions that would genuinely benefit our people?"
He grinned openly, shameless as ever.
"Of course. Anyone who can prove their sincerity deserves a second chance. ...Perhaps even someone with crimes as severe as your own."
He gave the mech a shallow nod, still smirking. If Megatron didn't get it without him nudging the mech in the side or winking an optic he didn't want his advice.
"Talent shouldn't be wasted with menial tasks or endless imprisonment. Spark-death, for anyone, even those without skills, is something I do not like considering."
He wasn't exactly about to come right out and say it, not out in the open like they were, even with a trusted communications mech of his own listening in and doing what he could to hold the bugs and spies at bay. But that sort of shifty wording that could be verbally twisted in their favor was the type the nobles ate up like fine high grade, should some sort of scandal come to light.
Optimus loathed being caught unprepared. So he just tried to plan for everything he could.
