[Video] [Transmission Originating From: The Junkpile]

[Dinobot felt in a philosophic mood. So much had transpired from the moment of his death. He was certain this was not the Pit or any afterlife. What afterlife would allow fleshlings? The Maximal had so much to question. If he had already saved history...why do the task of bringing him back again? Why at this point in time?

He decided the best method would be to reach out to the others, to see just what exactly these so-called Primes had brought to this world. Maybe then he could understand their vision...]

Is history a tale told by a fool, or something more? If fate does not write our history, does it matter who does the writing? Must free will be the absence of fate or must it be its tool?

That which I decide be mine or merely the shade of another's work? Does this story's beginning simply involve our resolution?

Oh that this too too solid metal would melt...

History is not an optical illusion! History is its own entity. What I ask is who writes history?

Well, what I mean is, depending on who it is, everyone experiences things differently. Notable 'history' that may be important to one person is not so much to someone else. They would omit it.

You could go by the proverbial answer of "History is written by the victors", but I prefer the subjective, rather than the literal.

I am not asking the posturing of historians or philosophers! I ask if our actions have any forbearance on the course of history, of existence itself!

Well then... probably not?

Like I said. It all depends on how it's recorded. History itself, as in the series of events that leads onward in time, is irrelevant, if there is nobody around to note it.

But our actions must surely affect it! Or does it not matter and time progresses without our involvement?

They do. Though I suppose it just depends on to what degree. Then again- I guess you never know... you could start a chain reaction that ends up changing the world with just a single action.

Which is why performing the right course of action is so vital.

Yes, though more importantly, I would think, would be making choices that are true to yourself.

But the question of what is true may plague us once again...

I suppose you can only take things as they crop up when it comes to that.

For some their haunting is constant.
