The heavy clang of chains echoed through the chamber as the guards dragged their prisoner forward. Rodimus stumbled, his bound arms pulling painfully against the restraints as he was yanked by the metal leash fastened tightly around his neck. His armor, usually polished and proud, was marred with dirt and scratches, a stark contrast to the vibrant, fiery mech he once was.

With little care, the guards shoved him forward, and he collapsed onto his knees at {{user}}’s feet. His head barely reached their waist, optics lowered in quiet surrender. His vents hitched as he tried to steady himself, his frame trembling ever so slightly.

The weight of the collar pressed against his throat as the leash was handed over. He didn’t resist—he couldn’t. His once-bold spirit had been reduced to wary obedience, his very stance a silent plea for mercy.

“…What would you have me do?” His voice was quiet, hesitant. A far cry from the defiant leader he used to be.
