[Priority Broadcast][Video - backdated to Wednesday]
[The feed opens to a view of Megatronus Prime, a bloodied sword in hand. He gives it a hard flick to clear the worst of the gore from his blade, and a chunk of what used to be one of the monstrous centipedes flies off and knocks a nearby Acolyte in the head. It stumbles out of frame. Megatronus doesn't pay it any mind and addresses his audience:]
I imagine few of you will argue with me if I say that our guests have overstayed their welcome. Hospitality has its limits, after all.
[Besides which, he certainly never invited them to visit in the first place. Rude, centipedes. Very rude.]
When the creatures of the Badlands haven't the sense to retreat of their own volition, I find that a concentrated application of brute force is often enough to convince them of their error. My kin and I have determined that these monsters are likely led by a demon hiding at the core of an offshoot of the Badlands – if you've wandered outside of the Haven, you've likely noticed the approaching darkness. That is where we will be applying our force.
- and when I say 'we,' I don't simply mean my brothers and I.
Refugees, I call on you for volunteers who can fight; failing that, I'll accept volunteers who think they can fight. Anyone with a skill that would serve them well in combat, or those capable of supporting combatants. What you lack in size or experience can be compensated for through other means. I am willing to offer what gifts I can to those willing to fight in order to improve the likelihood of your... success.
[Survival. The word he means is 'survival.' Dragging Refugees to the heart of enemy territory often ends poorly for the weaker members of the group, but it's a necessary sacrifice.]
Unless, of course, you'd all rather be subject to regular attacks within the Haven. For those of you that care enough about your friends and your place here to act, I will be waiting for you in my arena. The Acolytes will direct you if you cannot find your way.
If you bear my Glyph, I expect to see you there.
[OOC note: there's a companion log to this post up over here for those who want to sign up their characters and collect a temporary boon ICly!]

Sir.
Allow Skids to stare in awe.]
You know, I'm starting to see the resemblance between you and certain...other...people with your name.
Mostly in that you like to look destructive.
Right now, destructive is good.
[His own cannons retract, and he glances at his grappling hook.]
Able to hit the fuel tank of a flying car in motion at a hundred paces. And trust me--if you get at just the right angle? This thing sticks well in-between monster plating.
[Which he knows from being dragged across half a mile of surface area, but shhhhh.]
no subject
Very few understand the value or the proper application of destruction.
[While it's certainly fun to go around seeing what it takes to knock down everything in his path, that's not his purpose.
But he decides to spare himself the frustration of trying to explain his duty to a refugee, and returns to the more immediate, bug-shaped concerns.]
You may not wish to be attached to one of them if it decides to drag you to its fellows - or, you may at least wish you had another means of attack.
[Yeah, he's got enough foresight and imagination to guess that the stage after harpooning one of them isn't pleasant. Tagging the target is the easy part; knowing what to do with a few tons of angry metal once you've got it is the tricky bit.]
no subject
Most of them tend to be Decepticons.
Or Whirl.
However, when the object of destruction is going to be lots of multi-legged arthropods that have been threatening the sanctity of...people who want to live, mostly...then I'm all for spreading a lot of destruction over a very, very wide area.
[He can tell that's going to be the common goal, here, and it seems to be the part not making you...gruffer, so he'll stick to that.]
Other than tangling them up in yards of cabling, then, do you have any suggestions?
