** As a sign of showing trust, Lelouch finally reveals his true identity to the collective leaders of Black Knights, showing how far he has come under Optimus' tutelage. Those that already knew who he was defend his keeping it a secret and his loyalty vigorously (which he's grateful for, of course). After some discussion, everyone present says Lelouch has their support and trust.
*** WordOfGod also confirms that unlike in canon, the Black Knights will ''not'' betray Lelouch as they did under Schneizel's manipulations.


Added DiffLines:

*** There's also something about the banter between her and Bumblebee afterwards. Almost like they were siblings.

Lelouch is completely shocked that the Autobots are so sympathetic for him they would be willing to storm the palace for him. This is just the beginning of their partnership and friendship he has with them.
