Serious dialog....
Mikela: Tell me the story...
Optimus: Are you sure? I think it would bore you to tears
Mikela: No... I think I need a deeper understanding of things...
Optimus: A long time ago. Even before our creation. There existed a being of pure energy known as Primus. However, his life force was fading and so, to carry on his legacy he created thirteen mechanical creatures. The first Transformers. The Primes.
Mikela: Prime? Wait that means....
Optimus: Yes and no. I was never a part of those original thirteen but I am a descendant. As his last act, Primus transfered the remainder of his power into a device known as the Matrix of Leadership and granted it to the bravest of the thirteen. However, one of them was a traitor. The Fallen. His will was twisted and corrupted by a great evil, an old nemesis of Primus. He stole the Matrix and disappeared....
Mikela: That's kind of grim... Fallen sounds an awful lot like Judas from the Bible.... *laughs* Does that make you our savior, Jesus?...
Optimus: *smiles* We can only hope...
