KrissyKat91: I am both relieved that this is finally over, and embarrassed that this epilogue is so short. I really wanted Optimus to give some kind of speech at the end, but I have discovered that I absolutely stink at speech-writing. Seriously, I couldn't think of a thing to say that sounded like something Optimus would say. (sigh) Oh well. At least now I can focus on other things.

Epilogue

New Iacon, Cybertron, several weeks later

A large crowd of Cybertronians, nearly the whole population of New Iacon as well as all those currently working in the building, were gathered before the Autobot HQ. Heavy duty camera drones hovered over the masses, broadcasting to the homes of those who lived too far away to make it to the announcement.

It wasn't every orn that Ultra Magnus made a public speech, and eveybot was curious as to what he had to say.

After a few kliks of waiting, two large, wheeled vehicles—one a big honking military truck, the other an even bigger honking Peterbilt semi (not that many of the Cybertronians present knew that)—pulled up onto the stage in front of the headquarters.

The military truck transformed, and the large view-screens suddenly lit up, revealing the stress-lined faceplate of Ultra Magnus, looking happier than he had since the end of the War.

"My fellow Cybertronians," he stated, "I stand before you with great joy. As you all know, many lives were lost during the Great War. Among them were some of the greatest warriors, medics, and scientists our world has ever known. However, I am pleased to tell you that one among those numbers was not as deactivated as we first suspected, and has finally returned to our ranks."

He stepped aside, letting the crowd and cameras get a full view of the semi.

"Femmes and gentlemechs, it is with great pleasure I present to you," the semi transformed, "Optimus Prime!"

For several nanokliks there was dead silence. Then practically the whole planet burst into cheers.

KrissyKat91: I'm thinking of doing a series of one-shots about the pranks the Lambo Twins teach the Jet Twins to pull on Sentinel, but I need help. I know nothing about pulling pranks, so send me ideas and I'll see what I can do with them.
