So, when did the Autobots become the bad guys?

They're not - obviously.

But that's the way I felt after talking with Jumal for a few hours yesterday. Things started cordial. He asked about the Aerialbots (his one weakness, where he seems to drop his self-righetousness). After he examined Dr. Arkeville 's cell, he chastized me for a good half hour. It's like his self-righteousness even began to contradict itself. First, he said we had no right to do it (wrong, it was a legal agreement signed by the doctor and the Autobots) - THEN he said he needs to be shipped off to Supermax to await trial for his crimes. Does he think I enjoy feeding another person in this city? Especially when it's a murderous psycho who almost killed my dad.

Things aren't going to get any better the next time we meet. We patched things up by dinner, but both of us were wanting to get back to our own areas within Autobot City and decompress. Now, the  next time I meet him, I'm going to have to present what the Autobots have done to advance human rights in the Middle East in the past six months. It's a thin resume. Can I extend a paragraph's worth of material to 30 minutes?

Heyah, Jumal - how about this... we kept Earth from falling into Quintisson control. Then, we kept Earth from falling under Decepticon control. How about that? Can we get some credit for that? The worst part... even after all this riding on our afts...I still don't want to disappoint him.

Another item - Blurr said Cybertron needs supplies. Autobot City doesn't have them. And I've heard G.B. Blackrock is doing gangbusters this year. Hate to lure him into this. Especially with Carly working for him. But our options are pretty thin.

Other topic, dad's doing ok. Though he's adjusting to a new medication regimen. He's being taken off anti-depressants. So, it's tough. If I try to cheer him up, he thinks I'm pandering. But if I don't say anything, I'm being neglectful. These are my takes, not his. But that's what my gut says. Spikewitwicky (talk) 19:23, April 23, 2015 (UTC)
