Yeah, he was here one day, then gone the next. No warnin', no sayin' anything to us or nothin'.
We all got glyph's on our arms, as ya know. [He twists so Jack can see his for a moment before he turns back to the camera.] Six months ago, a bunch of refugee's like us showed up, but they didn't have glyph's. Optimus...was one of them. They all seemed fine at first, but it wasn't all it seemed ta be.
These glyphless refugee's, they were tainted by Unicron. [He scowls some.] They turn into monsters. The Forged kept warnin' us fer a month of what would happen, but we didn't listen. We didn't want ta believe it. We thought there had ta be a way ta help, ta fix it.
In the end they all had ta be deactivated. [It's paining him to say it, and he still can't say he killed Optimus. He's sorry you have to hear this Jack. His optics shut.] It was just me, Smokescreen and Ratchet here from the team. We didn't want ta do it, but we had no choice. It was either that, or Optimus went mad and started possibly killin' people, includin' innocents.
