Metroplex gave the question all due consideration as the Prime continued to walk his halls.
"It is true, Optimus Prime. I did not expect to regain consciousness after falling into stasis. However, I have been through this same situation before. I assume, since my spark still spun when you called me and reactivated my systems on Cybertron, that cityformers are different in some way. Perhaps our spark systems are meant to be hardier than other mecha. After all, abandoned infrastructure can be repaired after dormancy, but an empty spark chamber cannot. I considered the thought that this incident was...related." Metroplex's glyphs were uncertain.
Scamper followed the Prime quietly. They moved through areas less well-kept, emergency lighting the only thing lighting their way. "However, I did recognize the oddity of awaking more fully-fueled than I had fallen. I also have noticed...oddities in my status reports."
Metroplex explained how his sensor profile had changed. How he now received reports from sensors he had never known existed and how other sensors had apparently disappeared. How even the same sensors for the same transformation joints now read as "normal" what would have read as "grossly out of tolerance" on Cybertron.
"I...cannot explain this. Some...alteration in my systems took place on Cybertron, while I was dormant. I awoke with the knowledge that I possessed a third, interplanetary form. I transformed into that form, and my sensor profile read that transformation as correct and within tolerances. How I could have this form now and not previously...I cannot explain, Prime."
