Sitting in the shade, Y/N and Optimus await the end of the rain and the arrival of Hound. Y/N: hums a little tune. Optimus: Well what are you singing, Y/N? Y/N: Oh it's just ______________ (your fav song) Optimus: Mhmm? It sounds wonderful when you sing it. Y/N: Thank You. ~Hound arrives. Hound: Sorry I am late. Come on Y/N, need your help on these blueprints I got for you. Y/N: Yes, Sure. Hound: You comin'? Optimus: Yes, in a minute. You both go. Y/N goes inside the garage with Hound while Optimus keeps sitting on the shed. Optimus: *takes out his little notepad* Favorite song...ok..I got this. Yes!

Optimus keeps a note of all your favorite stuff, likes and dislikes. He loves keeping notes like this.

Drift would NEVER (Spoilers)

So I already talked about this in another post:

But I am STILL ticked off at Rodimus for abandoning Ratchet:

(More Than Meets the Eye, Issues #17-22)

Oh noooo, fifty angry decepticoooonnns - Rodimus still ended up in a jail cell with everyone else EXCEPT Ratchet who was being tortured by Pharma.

Drift would have NEVER turned his back on Ratchet. And I am going to prove a point with more comic panels because that is how I do.

(More under the cut)

Let's start with More Than Meets the Eye Issues #4 & 5 where Ratchet and Drift go up against an artificial plague created by Pharma. This plague kills. Drift catches the plague. Drift is ACTIVELY DYING as Ratchet goes off to have his main boss fight with Pharma (Ratchet also has the plague and is dying, but not as much as Drift who started showing symptoms sooner):

Drift STILL drags his dying carcass after Ratchet and saves his ambulance from getting shot in the back:

They both live by the way.

Moving onto More Than Meets the Eye Issues #14 where Overlord escapes confinement on the Lost Light and starts rampaging. Ratchet and Drift instantly make the dream team:

They instantly fail:

(Drift's legs have been torn off.)

BUT THEY STILL FOUGHT TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY WOULD NEVER ABANDON EACH OTHER. As everyone knows because Drift: Empire of Stone is dedicated to Ratchet hunting Drift down and convincing him to come back to the Lost Light, but that isn't what this is about. This is about how Drift is goddamn RIDE OR DIE.

He isn't even necessarily just Ride or Die for Ratchet either.

Speaking of Drift: Empire of Stone, there was that time in Issue #1 where Drift got himself and Ratchet kidnapped by decepticons because he was going to the aid of another decepticon (the group of decepticons thought he was a turncoat/spy and were treating him like the enemy even though he was a goddamn decepticon):

"Well, Rodimus was running from fifty decepticons, not five!"

Well, shut up. Five or fifty, my main mech Drift would still say:

But Rodimus just up and left Ratchet behind.

I wonder if, wherever Drift was in the galaxy (this is during the time Drift was banished from the Lost Light, so he was not present for this shit show), his "my ambulance is in danger" senses were tingling. I wonder if he experienced this sudden and unexplainable dread when Ratchet was taken and tortured physically and psychologically.

I wonder if he felt a helpless rage at the fact that something was wrong and he couldn't do anything about it.

And when he and Ratchet spark merge for the first time down the line (you should have guessed by now that I support the Dratchet movement, please keep Rodimus's grubby paws off my Conjunx Endurae), when he sees these memories, I wonder if he cries. If he blames himself for not being there. If he wishes fervently that he had been at Ratchet's side the whole time for better or for worse.

And I hope he would have hit Rodimus for leaving Ratchet behind.
