[Rodimus is, strangely enough, almost instantly put at ease by this
Optimus. Sure he was an Optimus and they were all the same from what he'd
gathered, but this one felt... kinder? Less war weary. Less likely to turn
his back on everyone and go mad with power.
Was Rodimus still smarting from his own Optimus Prime's everything? Yes.
Absolutely.
Nothing, however, could have prepared him for what Optimus was going to
say.]
You have got to be fragging kidding me.
[There, sitting in Optimus's hands, is the matrix. His matrix. Optimus's
matrix. The one that Rodimus had broken and split with Bee, remade and used
to save Cybertron. Used to save all MTOs. Rodimus is a nanoclik away from
taking some advice from Drift's book and going to stare at some glowing
crystals until the universe unveils it's secrets.]
I have broken that thing like three times, how the frag does it keep coming
back.
[Rodimus takes it gently, of course he does. The matrix always felt
comfortable to him, even when he didn't want the weight that came with it.
It doesn't stop him from screwing up his face in a grimace though.]

You said you got it from Sunstreaker?
