Would you choose to live forever if you had the choice?
I guess I don't really have a choice about this, if I don't wind up taking a scrapload of damage again and I can keep getting energon. See, Transformers don't really have lifespans-or at least, if we do, nobody's ever hit it. I haven't heard about anybody dying from old age yet, at least-it's always the war that gets people killed. I guess it's possible we could eventually shut down if we were stuck somewhere where we couldn't get energon and replacement parts, but what are the odds of taht? ...Okay, maybe I shouldn't think about the odds of that because a lot of weirder stuff has happened and that could be like just aksing for it to happen. And I really don't want to find out how long I could last without any replacement parts or energon, because I kind of like being alive. Being dead for awhile kind of makes you really appreciate things like that... Anyway, I'm already pretty much immortal. Assuming I don't get blown up or shot or something and get myself killed, I'll just keep ging, and going, and going...kind of like that Energizer rabbit that you see in all those commercials. Those commercials are pretty weird when you think about them; why would they use a pink rabbit with a drum, anyway? It's just one of those things that're just randomly weird, I guess. But anyway, if I'm lucky, I'll live to see a couple more m illion years-and hopefully I'll be online for those ones. Having a big four million year-long blank in your life is kind of annoying, even if it was a break from the war...
But I think that we're all going to die eventually, right? Something's going to get everybody in the end-a lucky shot, an explosion, old age in the case of the humans I know... Primus, human lifespans are really depressing. It seems like half the time they don't even get to make it to a vorn, because their bodies wear out so fast. That the problem with being friends with humans; you don't get to be friends with them for very long. But anyway, everybody dies eventually, I think. It's something that even us Transformers can't escape, on account of the war. And if I was really immortal-you know, nothing could hurt me, could kill me...again..., then eventually, I'd be alone. Everybody else I knew would die and I'd still just be stuck alive and watching them die, even if they were other Transformers. It'd be like the human thing but it'd take longer. And that's...that's really depressing. I wouldn't want to be truly immortal if that meant that I'd see everybody I ever knew die. I've already seen pretty much everybody I knew um, die, and...well, it's not something that I want to repeat, you know? So I wouldn't want to really live forever. I like being able to live for a long time, yeah, but I wouldn't want to be stuck watching everybody else die while I just kept hanging around. I'm happy with just being semi-immortal and hoping that whatever kills me will be less painful than the first time around...
