"You were the only one who could call it," Ratchet says quietly. "You know Optimus wanted to quit but never would. You were the only one with the power to stop what was happening. Good for us that you finally came to your senses.

"You were the one to call off the war in our universe, too. Or our Megatron was, whatever. He cancelled the war and got half-command of an Autobot ship for his trouble, to get him off Cybertron and out of Optimus' gears. Cut down on the number of people who could assassinate him, too, which was handy. Anyway, it was the ship I was serving on, so I was stuck with him." He shrugs, his mouth tilting in not-quite-a-smile. "You were the one who wanted to go into stasis for a few million years. I'll help you look for a cave, if you want, no trouble at all."
