[The picture is, at first, an extreme close up, but it slowly pulls out to reveal the face and upper torso of Wreck-Gar. He regards his own communicator with a puzzled expression for a moment, but this quickly passes and fades into seriousness. Sky can be seen in the background.]

Consider if you will, the following situation: Wreck-Gar, leader of the Junkions and ally to the Autobots has suddenly found himself on Cybertron. But not the Cybertron he knows, oh no. He’s taken a left at Albuquerque, found that signpost up ahead. Now looking to find his way home and return to his people, he instead finds himself going where no Junkion has gone before, finding new life and a new civilization on a brand new Cybertron.

In a world like new—that’s a money back guarantee—one cannot help but wonder who controls the horizontal and the vertical? And, can one Junkion find his place? And will he ever make the Leap home?

Are there any Autobots out there in radio-land tonight? If so, we'd love for you to be our eleventh caller and put you on the air.

Holy scrap! The way you talk -- that is the most precious thing, dude.

Uhh, anyway! Well, this is, like, a version of Cybertron or whatever. 'Cept, nobody's made anything or something. I kinda wasn't paying much attention to what everyone told me when I got here, but I think yer stuck for now, Wreck-Gar.

[Odd. This one appears vaguely familiar, but nothing Wreck-Gar can place. He'll have to puzzle over this.]

I talk TV!

Stuck in the middle with you? Holy planetary kidnappings, Batman! Has anyone tried phoning home?

[It's not an Autobot, but there is a rather excited gasp followed by an overjoyed bear face on the feed.]

You talk just like a TV!

Television is the language sensation that's sweeping the nation!

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

Well it's about time. I've been noticing a rather grizzly lack of TV around this place, a good sweeping is just what it needs.

Re: [Video]

[idle_time]

Hokey Smokes!

There's no TV!?!

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

If there is, it's really good at hiding!

[He grumbles.]

Actually, now that I think about it, I probably woulda been home by now if there was one around. Someone should look into building one lickity-split.

[The video has him wall-eyeing a bit, but he'll blunder on forward anyway, regardless of whether he actually understood all of that.]

So are you an Autobot or not?

Re: [Perma-Audio]

[idle_time]

Junkion! Autobot allies, satisfaction guaranteed.

[my_own_trope]

It'll take more than aligning yourself with those blowhards to satisfy me.

In fact, you could even say I'm unimpressed with your obvious bad taste.

[idle_time]

Autobots, blowhards? But they're champions of Truth, Justice, and the Cybertronian Way!

[my_own_trope]

Hardly! They gave up the 'Cybertronian way' when they decided to start adopting organics.

My my, what a delightful command of wordplay and referentials! Intriguing.

Today's conversation has been brought to you by the letters T and V.

[rotafortunae]

Ah, television. Not exactly my game, but if that's how you play, well. So noted.

Re: audio;

[idle_time]

Television is life!

[ex_dishonestly997]

Just Autobots? That disqualifies me, I suppose.

Re: video;

[idle_time]

[Wreck-Gar wasn't there personally, but he'd heard Rodimus talk about this one...!]

G-g-g-g-ghost!

[ex_dishonestly997]

If you mean what I think you mean, I'm starting to feel a little less jealous of these other me's.

Re: video;

[idle_time]

Jenkies, other yous? Often iminated, sometimes duplicated?

[ex_dishonestly997]

You're a pretty quick study.

So I'm dead, in your universe? What a bleak place.

I'm guessing you still want to get back there, though.

[raceme]

You made your life sounds like some sort of organic action movie. [Blurr smiles, amused.]

Salutations Wreck-Gar! I am Agent Blurr member of the Elite Guard a intelligence gathering body that exists within the Autobot fraction. [He pulls out what looks to be like a mini screen, showing his logo and badge.] CanIhelpyou?

[idle_time]

Coming soon to a theater near you.

[Wreck-Gar strokes his beard. This is not the Blurr he knows.] Blurr? Hmm... actual product may vary? Not available in all areas?

Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Solus Prime's temple?

[raceme]

Wreck-Gar sir you remind me a bit of Wheelie he talks in rhymes all the time. [Blurr is trying to figure out what he meant by 'product may vary'.]

I...'ve been told that I exist in other Cybertrons or universes but my appearance is not always the same only a few characteristics never change like my speed. Solus Prime's temple is a bit far away from the Haven you need to head to the west until you find a jagged gorge that's like a line stretching to the horizon.

[idle_time]

Wheelie? Is he in stock or are supplies limited?

The Blurr I know keeps going and going and going. Faster than a speeding bullet with a dial that goes up to 11.

[Wreck-Gar nods.] Go west, young Junkion?

[And a frown.] Not liking being off my people's schedule.
