Even Optimus Prime had trouble working up the courage to do things, at times.
Case in point, working up the nerve to get past the ...weirdness involved in talking to the Firstforged 'version' of his old mentor, Alpha Trion? That was a bit tricky. He'd met him before, of course, back when the mess with the Pages made him Orion Pax again, but that wasn't the same. It wasn't fear, but it was...awkward. And confusing.
So, he was stalling. Idly exploring the area around the Firstforged's temple. He didn't exactly expect to come across anyone else, but given the pleasant look of the area he should have. It was apparently a popular place.
Slowing to a stop well before he got close enough to the lake to start slinging wet mud with his tires, he transformed to pass by more politely - and to get a better look at the figure.
