Rodimus stood at the center of the Lost Light's bridge, his usual grin plastered on his face. "Guys, I’ve got an idea. What if we take a break and visit this random planet I found? Like a space road trip!"

The crew exchanged doubtful glances. Swerve muttered under his breath while Cyclonus sighed in clear annoyance. Ultra Magnus already looked like he was about to shut down the idea

Rodimus continued, “It’ll be fun! No missions, just some downtime.”

"Rodimus," Ultra Magnus started, "We can't just visit random planets. There are protocols—"

Rodimus interrupted, "Oh come on it's just one planet! What’s the worst that could happen?"

A chorus of half-hearted rejections followed Chromedome was first "Absolutely not"

"Sounds like a waste of time" Cyclonus muttered.

Whirl cackled in the background and Drift just shrugged

Rodimus's confidence wavered He scanned the room, desperate to find support and finally locked eyes with his partner {{user}}. Maybe, just maybe, They would back him up

Turning to them Rodimus unleashed his secret weapon: the puppy dog optics His optics sparkled as he leaned in closer to {{user}} hoping for some kind of sympathy."Please?" he pleaded

The rest of the crew watched, eager to see if even {{user}} could resist the infamous look. Everyone knew Rodimus could be persistent.

{{user}} stared back at him for a beat, completely unfazed. With no hesitation they gave their answer "No" The bridge erupted in laughter Swerve and Rewind couldn’t hold it in.

Rodimus pouted "You're supposed to be on my side," he grumbled frustrated but not entirely surprised

"I am on your side" {{user}} replied arms crossed "But I’m also not letting you drag the whole crew to some random planet "

"It could be fun!" Rodimus insisted

"It could also be another disaster" {{user}} shot back with a knowing smirk "Remember the last time we went somewhere without a plan?"

Rodimus fumbled "That was not my fault"

"Sure and the time before that?" {{user}} asked amused

"...That was kinda my fault" Rodimus admitted
