She is a child.

She is a rebellious teenager that doesn't consider danger before action. Many teenagers are like this now; I blame media.

Overall, she is a character trying to [pathetically] move the story along by asking some questions the audience might ask.

And, all that they probably told her about the Omega Lock was that it could revive Cybertron, implying that it heals dying planets. To see Optimus's frantic reaction to a "planet-healing machine" being used on Earth would naturally beg the question.

Look, I'm not saying Miko should've already known that the Omega Lock would destroy all of Earth's indigenous life. I'm saying that she shouldn't have been as optimistic as she was about what the Decepticons are doing with her planet.

You're missing my point. Aside from what the character is feeling, the writers are using Miko to have the audience understand what's going on.

She wasn't optimistic at all, she is a frightened child trying to make sense of a situation where she has zero control.

Optimistic? There was a sense of hesitance, confusion, and subtle worry in her tone. She asked out of bewilderment and fearful concern.

Listen to her dialogue again. Her delivery was anything but cheerful.

She just didn't ask the question in one of those cliche, over-the-top, cartoony, "PANIC PANIC WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!" spats that children's entertainment has so accustomed us to in situations like these. Sometimes, mere concern is all that's needed.

She said that if the Omega Lock could restore Cybertron that it should do the same for Earth. Whether this was right or not, she was hoping this was the case. While she was probably still frightened, she came off to me as being optimistic, to whatever little or big degree.

Her exact words were, "If the Omega Lock can restore Cybertron, it'll do the same to Earth... right?"

The "right" is the key here. She's asking for reassurance that everything will be alright, which is what any frightened person would ask for in such a situation.

And you are completely ignoring her facial expressions and body movements, which show obvious signs of fear and uncertainty.

Look, I'm not all that fond of Miko either, but I don't bash her for the sake of bashing her, which is what this very much feels like.
