We were on Luna-1, uh--it's a long story, and one that you should hear, but to this particular point... a killswitch had been put together to murder everyone who'd ever been constructed cold. Rodimus and our half of the Matrix were rigged up to something to stop it, and it might have killed him, so he told Magnus and everybody else what had happened with Overlord in case he didn't make it."

"He did, for the record, he's fine. But everybody still knew, after that."
