- English (US)
'to take a toll' means 'to affect someone/something in a negative way', even if it can cause harming like death or just suffering or can just mean something went on the other way round. meaning-- you were doing something while expecting other to happen, but something different happened as a result.

I knew they were upset about it / they were discouraged by it, even though they tried to conceal that fact (they pretended they weren't upset).

This is my last question, i won't bother you guys anymore after this one. Optimus said "Yes. All my systems are nominal." and Smokescreen (the orange robot) said "Smokescreen: Yep, I’m as good as new. I feel terrific" since 0:42 in this video as the kid asked them if they're ok with their injuries:

What do "Nominal" and "I feel terrific" mean in this case?
- English (US)
"nominal" in this context means "normal" or "according to plan". I've only heard it used that way when talking about space flight.
"I feel terrific" means "I feel very good" or "I feel great"
