Not really, no. There's what looks like actually bullet holes in him, possibly by bullets that aren't even human-made. And as soon as he's inside, the hologram flickers off, Optimus hesitating a few moments more before starting to transform.
And if he looked unpretty before, this looks outright painful.
The Prime ends up in a crouch, vents cycling harshly as a bit of fluid leaks from a half-healed torn line. The problem with self-repair is that sometimes...it doesn't always work the way one would want, or simply not well enough.
But he seems stable, if nothing else, and surely that counts for something.
Leaning back, reaching for the leak, he looks down at his hand for a moment before back at Mikaela, clearly still uncomfortable with the whole situation. "We were attacked," he says simply, it being as good an explanation as any.
