Well. As long as you've known Ultra Magnus. Like I said, it's a long story, Drift.

But... basically, there was someone named Ultra Magnus once. Years and years ago. People revered and feared him alike. Tyrest found him fascinating, and wanted his infamous behavior to continue on. So he made the armor, and needed others like me.

A loadbearer. A special kind of point-one percenter. One that can bear the strain of the armor on the spark. That's what I am.

So, it baffles me that the armor just snapped off.

[At the next question, Minimus pauses, frowning, then is aware.]

It's a common sigil for the House of Ambus. My brother had it, as well.
