Optimus, how did you and Roller become friends?

“Ah. To say Roller is a friend of mine stretches the definition of the word a tad. Roller is an autonomous drone formed from a portion of my spark. We have been what is termed a ‘symbiotic unit’ since I emerged from Vector Sigma. Roller’s existence depends on myself. I have limited control, or perhaps more accurately, influence over his actions, and his systems are intrinsically linked to mine. It is such that l could survive without Roller, but Roller would not survive without me.Roller has the approximate intelligence of a well trained turbohound, and has a tendency to act like one. He is reminiscent in his behaviour of the particularly small breeds typically owned by the upper castes before the Exodus. He does not realise his own size I believe. Roller is also scared of thunderstorms.I do consider Roller amongst my most vital companions however. In a way, he has always been a friend of mine since the moment we onlined.”

#optimus prime #he got philosophical and long winded again #he’s kind of like a person who takes any opportunity to talk about their dog #roller being scared of thunderstorms is a reference to the roomba post #also notice word choice optimus could survive without Roller but he may not want to #his systems would be severely if not critically damaged by roller’s death #and he would never lose the sense of absence that comes from losing a portion of your spark like that
