Optimus wanted to make a difference, but he wasn't thinking he would be a part of a pan-dimensional legacy. "And... are they all leaders?"

"Every one of them." Rodimus grins again, though his grin is once more a bit self-depreciating. "The fact is, Optimii seem... considerably more common than Rodimii."
The grin fades. "You should also know that not everyone who's arrived in this reality has arrived alive. In fact, the first body any of us have found is that of an Optimus Prime - either from Perceptor's reality, or mine. We're not quite sure.
"Unfortunately, his body was lost with the base."

The longer Optimus is here, the more he regrets wishing for greater things than repairing spacebridges. Now he has the regret that he never got to pay his respects to a deceased alternate version of himself before the building it was was destroyed by evil alternate Autobots.
"Rodimus.. thanks. For the talk. I'm going to have to let this cycle through my processor for a bit, but I am grateful for the offer of help from you and Kup."

Rodimus stands up and gives a single nod. "I'm sorry to have to be the one to put this one you. I wouldn't have chosen to."
"I'll be in the repair section for awhile longer." He reaches his right hand towards the other Prime, as though to shake it. "Please, though, remember. You'll here a lot of things about a lot of... of other Primes. Be your best self."

Optimus' mouth curves into a smile as he responds with a firm handshake. "Don't worry, Rodimus. I won't."
With that, Optimus departs for someplace quiet to consider what he's been told.
And out of thread.

Rodimus watches the other Prime leave, and shakes his head. So young and eager... the sort youth people tend to expect to develop into a leader. Rather unlike the cocky Hot Rod had been. The Chosen One can't help but worry, though - he wasn't exaggerating when he said that Optimus might as well be wearing a target. And he hopes to Primus that, in all this investigating into his alternate selves, Optimus doesn't get it into his head to start 'high nooning' in battles the way his own Optimus was prone to. Rodimus might just order Kup to weld the kid's feet to the floor to keep him out of the fight for awhile if that particular trend crops up.
But Rodimus has enough 'now' worries without adding 'maybe' worries on top of them. For the moment, he pushes the maybes and mights out of his head, straightens, and returns to the medical section.
OOC: Thread complete.
