Grimlock is... uh, confused, especiall since tiny bugs shouldn't be able to even put a DENT in giant metal robots from another planet but whatever man he's a dinosaur

Grimlock started scorching the ants with his fire breath once he saw them get close; doesn't know if that saved Optimus or not, but all of the ants and mosquitos get burnt to ash.

Grimlock pokes one of Optimus' pieces of scrap, and then the twins arrive.

"Ah, jeez, how are we supposed to explain this to Ratchet? 'Uh, sorry, Ratchet, Optimus was killed by a bunch of bugs'? How does that even WORK?"

Grimlock reaches down and grabs the Matrix of Leadership from the pile of scrap and starts pulling on it. "How Grimlock make chest thing open? Grimlock want pretty light show!"

"Not gonna happen, Grimlock. I'm pretty sure only the worthy can open the m-"

"He just opened it." Sunstreaker deadpans.
 * "What."

Divebomb reports this back to Razorclaw, who was lounging on the side of the altar in Robot mode.

"Do not bother with it." Razorclaw remarks, pulling something out a compartment on the lion head positioned on his chest. "The Instinct is all I need. The Matrix may be civilized power... but the Instinct is raw, unfiltered power... just like nature itself."

["Nice monologue, Boss."]

"...thank you, Divebomb."
