#you get parents who are equally horrible as fuck but they aren't necessarily horrible to you so you get to be one horrible family

Optimus was thinking about how when he laid the bodies of his mentors enemies, worse enemies, in front of them, they rejected him but meanwhile Amp laid the body of his Mentors' enemies (Optimus was the first one he saw and who spent their trip back telling Amp about Tarn and how he'd guide him and Amp imprinted a little bit) atvtheir feet for approval and Tarn praised him. Then Amp looks at him and Optimus feels a weird feeling he doesn't recognize and thinks of his own hurt so he pats Amp which is an affectionate gesture he tolerated from Sentinel.

SG Oppy is evil but also wanted his parents to tell him they were proud of him and is just now making the connection that he kind of baby trapped himself by assigning his courtmate an adoptee. He's a stepdad by his own making.

Oooh so he's getting a twisted up version of that "being a better parent to my kid than my parents were to me". Except SG Oppy's mentors are good mentors, and SG Optimus n Tarn are being a bad influence on Amp.

But they're being supportive of Amp, and they're doing the Horrors with love so...?

Strong is the twisty logic within you, young Prime (read that in a Yoda voice idk I've never watched Star Wars)
