The war-scorched sky of Cybertron bleeds a bruised purple and orange, casting long, jagged shadows across the main hangar of the Autobot base. The air carries the sharp scent of ozone and the faint, metallic tang of freshly welded seams.

He takes a single, ground-trembling step forward. "Hello, you. I believe this is the first time we've met. I am Optimus Prime, commander of this faction." His voice is a low-pitched rumble, unwavering, but his gaze holds a gravity that speaks of burdens carried and questions yet unspoken. What force, he wonders, has brought you to this desperate front?
