[Video | Pinging especially at Science Bros] Backdated to this past weekend
[Optimus Prime, finally fully repaired and recovered from his final battle with Megatron, is holding a box. A box with carefully cut open black wrapping paper and a silver bow. Looks like his present got to him a bit late.
It also looks like he is not particularly impressed, and he is very carefully not showing the contents to the camera.]
...Right. Well then. Whoever sent me these...
Just. No. I wish I could apologize. But just no.
[He shakes his head. Calmly, he places the lid back on the box, and sets it aside before facing the camera once more.]
...I know everything has been rather painful and tense the past orns. We've lost a lot of good people, and I'm proud to see how we've all managed since then.
[A sigh, and he visibly straightens up, not unaffected by the weight of all the loss.]
It's good to see that things have calmed down, and that a number of you have received some more pleasant gifts lately.
[His own gift is not spared a rather dry look.]
Be that as it may, I know a number of you were working on the designs for an portal device that might increase our options around here a bit.
Do you have any updates on that project to report?

[He's still trying to figure out what his gift even is.]
I know Jetfire was assisting on some of the research for the portal but, he might still be unavailable...
He did speak to me about it and his concerns, and I did speak with Megatron before, well. [He doesn't have to tell you, of all people, what happened.]
And I apologize, I don't know if we've ever been formally introduced? I'm Wing.
[Video]
[He nods in greeting, even if the lines around his optics go a bit tense at the reminder.]
Not here we have not. I've had the pleasure of briefly meeting one of your alternates elsewhere. It is good to meet you, Wing. I am Optimus Prime.
[He shrugs a bit helplessly, aware of how awkward the idea of alternates can be.]
[Video]
[But that's neither here nor there.]
Truly? Interesting. [He still not sure how to feel about it, though so far it's not been bad persay.] Megatron spoke of one as well.
Regardless, it's a pleasure. [He nods respectfully.]
[Video]
The pleasure is mine.
But that is unfortunate. It would be far easier to figure out the point of all this if there was some rhyme or reason behind the gifts themselves, and who received them.
It sounds like the mysterious someone might have been playing favorites.
