Together on the Road

Well now, that dream definitely gave me some ideas for one of my fanfics so I better write it down so I can refer back to it anytime.

It’s very similar to another I had that was an inspiration for the story in the first place, but I sid not act on it until watching the Bumblebee film again.

I was on the highway driving a truck… yes it’s THAT truck!

In the fanfic, I’m using Optimus’s G1 form in the newer live action films… but given how he appears in this dream in his Bay appearance from movies 1 – 3 shows that I still have a soft spot for that version of him.

I mean I still love the blue and red flame pattern and that face underneath. (nothing wrong with him having a nose and mouth)

It started with us on the highway and I did not know who he was. I was just driving him with my music blasting. The current song was “Deaf Forever” by Motörhead. The highway was taking us through open farmland and all was well at first. Optimus did not intervene and let me drive until at some point Megatron came flying down from the sky. Optimus must have seen him in his side mirrors before I did because right there was when he switched the music off when I was in the middle of singing.

I was like hey who killed the music? But before I could try to turn it back on, my seatbelt tightened all on its own, the wheel turned without me touching it and the truck accelerated like pressure on the gas pedal had been applied but it pushed down on its own. I was horrified and there was nothing I could do other than stay strapped and then I saw Megatron in full robot form in the side window chasing after us.

I was speechless as the truck sped up and swerved to dodge the missiles Megatron fired and the whole time I was yelling what is going on!?

Then, suddenly, something I didn’t see hit the incoming attacker and sent him spiraling out of control and retreated. The truck thn sped off the road and into the nearby forest until we reached clearing.

We stopped there, the belt came undone, and the door opened. I slid out of the truck freaking out and demanding answers. At first, there was no response, and it proceeded to turn around on its own until I started to beg. It came right back, and I almost thought it was going to run me over until it began to shift and transform until Optimus had revealed himself fully.

From there, I was surprised until he explained everything. Seriously, I feel sixteen again writing this! It might just motivate me to get going on the next chapter!

I wish it didn’t end there. though. The dream I mean. I rarely dream about Optimus these days.
