"You shouldn't blame yourself for anything that happened, Magnus. Nor should you regret the decisions you made concerning Rodimus. You did what you wanted to do, and there's nothing wrong with that," he said softly.

You are only one bot, Magnus, and you did everything you could. Not even the Firstforged had a true answer for this...we all failed our comrades but if we allow ourselves to wallow in those regrets and that failure, we'll never be able to continue on."
