Thundercracker hesitated, then nodded.  "A long time ago.  Or . . . or maybe that was always our real direction and I was just too blind and stupid to see it.  To want to see it.  We were supposed to improve Cybertron, not destroy it.  I'm a soldier, not a murderer.  I didn't sign up to slaughter innocents . . . and yet . . . that's about all I've done since the war started.  At least . . . until coming here."
