Optimus Prime was not buying what Prowl and Wheeljack were doing, but he was fine with pretending he was. He'd rather they do that, then be rude to their new human ally. Although the Autobot leader had to admit that she had taken him for a surprise too. He didn't seem him having as close of a relationship with General Williams as he and his soldiers had had with General Kozik. But he was willing to give the young woman a chance. After all, the President would not have picked here if he didn't think she was capable of handling the job.<br/><br/>Optimus and General Williams started to talk while his Autobots kept guard. Optimus knew that Prowl would not interrupt them unless he saw something suspicious.<br/><br/>"What did you see, Prowl?"<br/><br/>Optimus asked, scanning the sky himself but not seeing the non-organic bird. It had disappeared and that caused Optimus' optics to narrow. He had a bad feeling about this. After all, the only non-organic bird he knew of was the Decepticon Laserbeak.<br/><br/>-------------------------------<br/><br/>Soundwave always thought Starscream was arrogant but he he did trust that he and the Seeker Jets were capable of carrying out the mission. When the Seekers transformed, Soundwave did as well. He'd make sure he saw first hand that Megatron's will was being carried out. Even if he did let the other jets do more of the actual fighting.<br/><br/>Seeing the location with his own optics, made Soundwave believe that the humans picked the location, not Prime. Even the Autobots would not that foolish to pick this on their own. But they would pay for the mistake dearly.<br/><br/>-------------------------------<br/><br/>Before Optimus Prime had time to discuss what his Autobots were saying, the Decepticon attack began.<br/><br/>"Decepticons! General, take cover!"<br/><br/>Optimus yelled at General Williams, hoping the woman was smart enough to do so. He took out his gun and returned fire. He told Wheeljack.<br/><br/>"You can gloat about it later."<br/><br/>Right now they had to keep their human allies alive. Next time, he picked the location for a meeting. Retreat might be there best option but with the lack of cover, it might be difficult.
