Leaving aside Sun Cheng, who is still anxiously awaiting his new mechanical body.
Not long ago, they visited the Great Rift Valley region, specifically the Autobot's New Iron Fortress.
Optimus Prime looked gravely at Ironhide, Mudflap, Skids, and several other Autobots who were knocked to the ground.
"What happened? Ratchet, can you explain?"
At the entrance to the medical center, a group of Autobots had gathered.
It was understandable.
While not every Autobot was always well-behaved, they certainly valued peace more than the Decepticons, especially those currently in the New Iron Fortress. Most of them were civilians, cherishing the rare tranquility on Earth.
Most Autobots, after arriving on Earth from various parts of the Universe, like Optimus Prime, considered it their second home.
For a long time, the New Iron Fortress maintained order.
Not just fights, even arguments were rare.
Optimus Prime appreciated this atmosphere. However, it was shattered by an emergency call from Shake, who was patrolling the city.
Some Autobots were causing trouble near the entrance of the medical center, clashing with the stationed guards there.
By the time Optimus Prime arrived, Ironhide had already subdued the aggressors.
But seeing the injuries on Mudflap and Skids, Optimus Prime's expression darkened.
The two brothers, who were on duty at the medical center that day, had previously faced life and death. Their present personalities were much more mature than before.
Unsurprisingly, Ratchet responded with anger, confirming Optimus Prime's suspicions.
"These guys suddenly tried to break into the medical center without permission. Mudflap and Skids tried to stop them, but they attacked!"
The medical center, essentially the New Iron Fortress's hospital, was also Ratchet's lab.
Any injured Autobot would be brought here for repairs.
When not tending to injuries or fighting, Ratchet typically stayed in the medical center, designing and crafting intricate medical machinery.
So, to Ratchet, this place was like home.
He couldn't tolerate his home being invaded, especially after enduring two civil wars on Cybertron.
Now, those who tried to break into the medical center had infuriated him.
Optimus Prime looked back at Skids and Mudflap, both nursing their wounds and nodding in confirmation.
Skids pointed angrily at one of the Autobots who had been subdued by Ironhide and Shake, "Leader, he led the charge into the medical center."
"We were stationed here. When they approached, I asked for their credentials. They falsely claimed they were injured and needed to see Ratchet. As Mudflap was about to contact Ratchet, they attacked us!"
Ever since Sentinel Prime was rescued by the Autobots from the Moon, he had been in the medical center for over three months.
Due to his presence, Autobots, unless critically injured, needed clearance from Optimus Prime's rotating deputies to enter the medical center.
This was to protect Sentinel Prime and also limit visits.
After all, there was no guarantee that among the Autobots in the New Iron Fortress, there weren't traitors who had joined the Decepticons, posing as Autobots from the Universe, hoping to assassinate the former Autobot leader.
Upon seeing the Autobots on the ground, Optimus Prime already had an idea about the situation.
These were the same Autobots who, over the past couple of months, had been the most vocal in demanding Sentinel Prime's awakening.
Optimus wasn't familiar with them. From the beginning to the end of the Cybertron Civil War, countless Autobots and Decepticons had fled the planet.
No one knew how many were wandering the Universe. Even on Cybertron, Optimus, their leader, couldn't possibly know everyone.
Seeing the struggling Autobots pinned down by Ironhide and Shake, Optimus Prime finally spoke, "It's you again. Wrench, isn't it? Attacking fellow Autobots, breaching orders to storm the medical center, you've violated several Autobot laws. By law, you and your comrades should be brought before a military tribunal!"
After the Cybertron Civil War, most of the former civil institutions from the Council of Primes era were replaced by military ones.
Although Autobots weren't as ruthless as Decepticons, lawbreakers would face strict military justice.
Fear and dread were evident on the faces of the other Autobots, but Wrench just scoffed.
Looking at Optimus Prime, he shouted, "Optimus Prime, you're not fit to be a leader, nor do you have the right to judge us."
"In that medical center lies our former Autobot Leader—Lord Sentinel Prime, a noble descendant of Primus royalty, King of Cybertron, and your mentor."
"Ever since he was rescued, months have passed. Why haven't you awakened him? Don't you claim to possess the Sacred artifact—[Leadership Module] that can heal all and even resurrect the dead?"
"Optimus, don't forget, Sentinel Prime is your mentor. Against all Autobot opposition, he appointed you leader."
"Also, don't forget, the [Leadership Module] has always been a Sacred artifact of the Primus royalty."
"Are you afraid that once he returns, he'll reclaim the stolen [Leadership Module] or even your position as leader?"
