Wow...this was quite an interesting premise. I was always miffed that Mikeala broke up with Sam (in the movie verse), even though I like Carly, so I really like the idea of bringing her back. I also really enjoyed this particular storyline concerning Optimus. I really enjoyed the toy scene, though I feel everyone in the story is a bit perplexed as to what exactly is going on there. I'm a sucker for well-written Transformers stories. I'd love to read more, though I read your profile and saw that you are a slow writer, but you're in luck. I'm patient. Well done. I'd love to see where this goes. :)
