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.]

[There's no wheels at all, at a minimum, besides the large difference in design given their different universes, yes.]

There's not actually that many of us present, and even less from the same... place.

[She quiets as he shares that little bomb; it wasn't something she'd considered at all. Her optics momentarily widen and the glow pales.]

... I had... assumed only those of us who are here were affected, but that... could be a possibility as well.

[Out of the view of the camera, Elita's free hand tenses into a fist.]

[Hearing that last part was slightly disheartening, and it shows as his wings droop a bit. If he was the only one affected, then that means...

Those two...

No, he couldn't think that, at least not without proof. He'll focus on the earlier part of her explanation.]

So that would explain the Starscream...

[She'd honestly thought he'd meant "transported elsewhere (not on the planet)", since it was quite clear that after the first wave of arrivals, the Acolytes all seemed pretty on top of collecting their Firstforged's "aligned".]

It's odd, but yes. If I have it right, there are four Starscreams present at the moment, as well as... two Wheeljacks.

[It's so strange to have to pluralize designations, which, after all, should be personal.]

[Honestly, he wished it were either of the meanings. Whatever got them away from their current situation.]

Four? Merda...

[He's unfamiliar with a Wheeljack...but still, two of the same bot?]

Are there any duplicates of myself? I am Mirage.

[Better not mention the probability of time moving like normal then, while they're all still here.]

Four. I've only talked with one of them, as far as I know, but there're certainly three confirmed ones.

[As they've named themselves where it's been possible to see or hear.]

I don't think so, no... [Optics dimming a little as she thinks, reviewing the entries she's seen and the individuals she has interacted with, Elita then shakes her helm.]

Not sure how usual this "duplicates" thing is going to turn out.

[Hopefully not too usual. It's really enough to hear people talk about other versions of you, even less meet them.]

[Great. Four times the problem. Mirage's wings flutter in annoyance as he puts a hand to his helm, right between the eyes.]

I see. Grazie for the information.

[Thankfully there were no duplicates of him...yet.]

Hopefully not often.

I wish it could have been... better. Or at least something you'd want to hear.

[The sympathy, her own "wings" shifting slightly downwards, is genuine, even if his distress over four Starscreams is somewhat amusing as well.]

If anything, it'd be confusing if all of us got alternates, nevermind all the different... realities? we seem to come from. Design differences [here she gestures to Mirage, and then to herself] can only do so much, if we share our alternates designations.

[Which the Starscreams would certainly imply.]

I shudder to think what would happen if there was a mix up in who is who.

... At the worst, attacks that have no gound to stand on and would leave a possibly-innocent target injured... At the best, perhaps some comedy.

[Elita smiles; not perhaps the nicest thing to be amused over, but still. As long as no one gets injured (even the awkwardness would be preferable to that), it would probably not be overly terrible.]
