   Summary

   A Prime is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to… give or take that one small paracausal nudge.

   Or, that time the Matrix got impatient and stole a truck...

   It's only going to get more and more hazardous to binge all of this:
   ✔️ Optimus Prime being iconically wholesome
   ✔️ Cybertron being an exotic mechanical wonderland
   ✔️ Mystery, adventure, and intrigue
   ✔️ Not so much a slow burn as a long fuse
   ❌ Civil war
