[Aww, Wing likes his description better, but okay.] When would you say you first changed your mind then? When you wanted something different?
[Wing sighs and rubs the crest of his helm.] Words work until they're tested by difficult decisions. It's easy for Megatron to be convinced and decide against the course that destroyed our planet, but it wasn't one decision but many that wrought that destruction. Each calculated loss, each necessary evil... those can be all too 'acceptable' individually. I might prevent some things, like the swarm, but when push-comes-to-shove... [He shakes his head. He wants to believe it's possible, to hope that it is, but it's difficult to imagine.]
War is a two-fold enterprise, action and reaction. I think change has to happen on both sides in order to have a truly different outcome. Or, somehow, it has to be prevented at the start...

...but is that even possible?
