Summary
As he fell, he saw a grand aerial view of the Battle of Clemency. A ravaging storm of Cybertronian bodies and fluid and debris. The grand ugliness of it all. He raised his head and looked straight ahead of him. He saw the sunrise of Clemency reduced to a thin stack of hues. Above, the empty grey sky of sun-devoid atmosphere; below, absolute mayhem.
How ironic is it that the most gorgeous view Fulcrum had ever seen in his relatively short life was then, from this position at halfway down?
'Primus, what a short life', he thought. And then, of all things, 'I never even decided on a favorite color.'
He stared into that stacked streamline of a horizon until he picked out something. Something bright and happy and opposite to the drab life that he lived, a tiny spark in a pan that will be extinguished in a field of dirt. Magenta. Fuschia. Carmine. Salmonberry. The dark residue of dried energon. That's it. At least now he knew.
He hit the ground with the color behind his opitcs, a taste of something foreign and sweet and tart deep within his throat.
