Optimus was quiet for a long time after that, contemplating a few things and letting the road ahead occupy his attention. Where would he be, once he was no longer needed to lead? What would his purpose be? How did a leader of many go back to being a data clerk and teacher? It was a nice dream, but when it came time, would he even be able to return to such things? Would those that once served under him allow him that peace? Many had served for so long that he questioned if they knew how to function as anything other than a soldier any longer. But, that brought him to another thought. ::The line of the Primes ends with me Ratchet.:: He said it solemnly, though previously he'd thought he would try to have a sparkling of his own to raise. Thinking on it more, he didn't think passing on the Matrix of leadership was a good thing. ::After I explore this planet some, I believe I would be content to just follow your lead.:: He was smiling, though it was impossible to see given his current shape. He would be content to be with his friend, to teach whoever came after them to inherit whatever planet they chose to live, and not wish for more for himself. Perhaps that was a failing of his, but he didn't see his spark belonging to anyone. Well, anyone else. Ratchet

The line of Primes.. ended with Optimus?
Ratchet didn't know quite what to make of that. Did he not intend to pass the Matrix of Leadership down to another? But what would that do for their race? Their home should it ever be restored one day.. somehow? It left the medic feeling unsettled, but could he really stop Optimus from doing what he wanted? Sure he could voice his opinions and concerns, but Optimus was gonna do what Optimus was gonna do.
::You'd follow my lead?:: Now he was more confused than ever. Just what was his old friend planning on doing with his life after the war? ::If we ever make it back home and make it livable again, I want to set up a clinic. Somewhere bots can go to and not have to worry so much about having the funds needed for treatment. Sure it's something I wouldn't make a profit off of, but I want to give everyone the best care I can with as little stress as possible. Bots shouldn't have to offline because they can't afford the treatment that would save their lives..::
He had to chuckle a bit as they continued their drive, wondering aimlessly through the city of Jasper. ::Wheeljack once said he wanted to be the 'bouncer' as he put it. I admit, security might be needed, but it was worth the laugh.::
