It was not remotely lost upon the young Prime that there were… flaws with his plan going into it. Then again, in war, most plans tended to be incomplete, half-formed, guess-work, and gambling on the good will of Primus and at no time more than now had that felt more apparent.
It was not his custom to allow his nerves to get to him – such a thing was not permitted to a Prime – and yet the anxiety was there as a fine, crackling effervescence around his spark chamber; his body charged with a pre-fight current that he did not let on was binding his hydraulics for the coming confrontation. It was a familiar feeling, a cross between the fine edge of dread and the supreme calm that came to him before he faced extreme danger for the umpteenth time.
The control room was occupied now by all the gathered members of Team Prime as it currently stood. Looking among them, Optimus could see that none of his injured soldiers had yet recovered from their damage, despite Ratchet’s best efforts there was simply no time for recovery. League was too damaged for battle – was likely to in in recovered for a few weeks at least, Ironhide was damaged even if he would not let on, Shadow still being patched, and the others were shaken by their complete failure to stop Megatron at the powerplants. They all knew, though it had not been discussed, that the warship was now fully powered and in a single shot could decimate them.
“Autobots.” That came out slightly quieter than he’d meant. He spoke up. “Megatron has contacted me to outline terms for single combat between him and myself. I have accepted his challenge.” When Ironhide immediately geared up to protest, rest rest of Team Prime reacting with shock, he held up a hand. “I do not plan, in any capacity, to follow through. As part of our terms, I have requested that his war machine be present at the site of the fight.” More protests at this, but he spoke over the agitation. “Blaster has developed a remote detonation sequence to eradicate the ship. Completely. However, he needs to be within range for the frequency to set. For this reason and this reason alone, have I accepted Megatron’s terms - to bring the weapon to pet-set time and place.”
He regarded the gathered Autobots calmly.
“Megatron believes his warship is untouchable. His over estimation of his victory will cost him everything.”
((OOC: Okay so in this scene Op needs ppl to be sounding boards for an attack plan. Somebot will need prolly need to sneak onto the area while Op and Megs fight and try to find a spot to transmit the failsafe. So who goes and how many depends on what is said in this scene. GO!))
