Video [Originating from Vectorian Temple]

[This wasn't Chicago. The humans had...interesting architecture, but not something this eclectic even came from the 'modern art' that they seemed to love so much. While the alcolytes had done their job in explaining the situation, Mirage's mind was far too busy processing everything else. He was taken from a rather...high tension moment, as in...minutes before his execution, and was nonetheless worried about his comrades.

He's quick to turn his communication device on, attempting to at least stay CIVIL even though he's pretty much churning with anger on the inside..]

Ah...buongiorno. It seems I have been transported to Cybertron. I will question as to why it is not a lifeless husk later. For now, I am looking for any of my comrades.

Bumblebee. Sideswipe. Do you copy?

...Human Lennox?

[His tone is rather even, his deep voice trailing off after every other sentence. He's expecting a snarky reply from Sideswipe at any second now.

Any second now.]

[He chuckles low. He definitely remembers your voice now.] Ah, so you do remember me.

I haven't seen or heard from them in a good long while, knife-slinger. And it's better for all of us that way. Well, for them, anyway. After all...

Lennox still owes me my partner, my optics, and my legs.

[Those blue optics narrow, even if Barricade can't see it. If only you could, because you could practically read everything he wanted to do to you.

see: tear off the rest of whatever Lennox and his crew didn't get.]

You robbed us of Ironhide and Que. If anything you have not paid enough.

And your kind robbed me of my planet!

[It's half-snarled with the feline growl in his tone lingering at the end. He pauses after that, for a long while. Calming down.]

There is nothing left for you Autobots to take from me.

[DON'T EVEN GET HIM STARTED, GIRLFRIEND.]

Scusi, but I can think of plenty of things. You are no victim.

Oh, do tell, then. Let's see what you come up with.

[BRING IT ON, GURL.]

[OKAY IT'S ON.]

Your spark chamber is a good start. Or perhaps the paint job. To punish and enslave... It is a grotesque term.

I would rob your optics if Human Lennox had not done so for me.

Now, now, darling. You clearly just don't have enough of a sense of irony to appreciate my slogan.

[Which became incredibly appropriate for a while there.]

Your threats aren't too compelling yet. Try harder.

[Excuse him but what did you just call him? Only attractive bots can do that, gurl.]

My apologies. I have attempted to stay clear of your comrades as they are the one thing we have managed to kill, yet you have not accomplished the same goal.

Bumblebee often told us of your failed attempts to assassinate him.

[Hey, he is the prettiest ex-'Con from their universe. Don't be hating.]

Well you can hardly destroy them and dump their corpses into the ocean twice, can you?
[The only reassuring thing about Bonecrusher's deportation is that the Autobots would never be able to destroy his Skater Boy.]

And what made him so sure that I was really gunning f'r him, hm? Besides, I'm a patient sort. I can wait forever for the opportunity.

Because you did not hit any other target either. Your two choices are that you are a bad shot, or are a terrible shot.

[He sounds rather snarky at that. You going to take that sitting down?]

I'm sure Que would beg to differ about my shooting abilites.

[Killing an unarmed scientist had been exactly as lame as he'd thought it would be, though.]

[He wants to tear your throat out right now.]

Is hard to miss at..as they say...point-blank range.

Even the most incompetent can accomplish this.

[Then it's really probably a good thing that Barricade knows his way around already.]

And yet I still could have aimed elsewhere. Made his death lingering and painful. Face it, I did him a favor.

Someone of your group was going to be destroyed, dear. It was inevitable. Would you have rather it been Ratchet? You?

[There's a slight growl underneath that voice. Don't you even think of saying you did Que a favor, because he was begging for mercy already. And he was one of the more harmless bots. You're not fooling anyone, Barricade.]

You were going to shoot us all one by one! I do not see this discretion you are showing me, idiota!

[It's not visible, but his optics flash slightly. Could Mirage...? No. But...]

You were still in some mech's claws when you got dragged here, weren't you? Oh, you poor thing.

[Somehow he's still outpacing the rest of them in knowledge. Barricade finds this slightly hilarious; a change from showing up somewhere knowing nothing of what his fellows had been through in Egypt.]

[That makes his eyes narrow. Yeah, you were there, asshole. Remember? Shot his friend in the fact.]

I was...mere moments before Bumblebee's execution.

Mm. Right, right. Just. Checking.

[Is this what power feels like? He'd almost forgotten.]

Well. I went through that a while ago. Things've changed since then.

I am sure they have, bastardo.

[Upset? Maybe a bit.]

What falsehoods can you spread today?

Hm. [He chuckles again, more amused than anything.]

Actually, I think I'd rather let you stew in it. See what you come up with.

[FFF he's not letting you get what you want, Barricade. In fact, he'll try his hardest on that.]

I see you enjoy wasting others time as usual.

[If only he'd be clearer on what he wanted, that might be easier.]

I can hardly fix and upgrade mechs all the time, after all~

Right. Tearing them up was always your more favoured hobby.

[More specifically, tearing apart Bumblebee.]

Only our dimension's division of the Autobots get torn up. It's hardly my fault you are the only ones that make me irrationally angry.

[And Bumblebee especially.]

You speak as if you are a victim, once again.

[Sympathy? This bot has none.]

Hardly a victim. Call it 'not being able to stand those you opposed for long enough to fix them'.

[Besides, the Autobots had Ratchet. No reason for him to repair them.]
