[Video] [Transmission originating from: Junkpile]

Greetings, citizens of... err... Cybertron.

[Somehow, it still feels strange to say that.  It had been thousands of stellar cycles since he'd been stationed on Cybertron, and while this planet may have shared the name, it definitely wasn't the home he'd known.]

My name is Optimus Prime - I am the leader of a small crew of Autobots, stationed on planet Earth.

I know that a lot of you don't want to be here.  In fact, I know a lot of you are here against your will.  But in spite of that, I think that it's important that we all do our best to make the most of our current situation.  We may be from different universes, but chances are, we still have quite a bit in common.  If we work together, I think that we'll be able to make this work, at least until we find a way to return home.

[It wasn't one of his better speeches, but then... what could he say in this situation?  There weren't many who would rush to work together with complete strangers.]

... If I can be of assistance to anyone, please let me know.

[He pauses, making one more effort to reach his teammates.  He doesn't particularly want to be there alone, but he wouldn't wish ill on any of them either.]

Autobots, if you are receiving this transmission, report back immediately.

To which of his numerous failures do you refer? Is this about the punch?

[Whatever, it's always something!] If you do see him, again, it would be helpful if you let me know. Unless you want him on your servos?

[Drift shrugs. ]

Good point. We're here now, and that's what matters, really. We should make the best of it.

I just...[He sighs.] I'm sorry if I snapped. It just that mechs focusing only on this [he taps his Autobot insignia] started a war that lasted for millions of years where I'm from. It's over, but...everything's destroyed.

And even so, after the war, they were still not letting go.

[Bumblebee and his kneejerk distrust of everyone but Autobots, the I/D chips in the Decepticons--that was not a 'peace' Drift had wanted to be a part of.]

I just don't want that to happen here. Too.

You're good to be concerned about your friends.

[Not that you need his approbation, of course. And he gives a sort of sheepish, lame wince, because wow, he's really made another bad impression. He'll never live up to Wing's ideals.]

[OOC: Ironically Korra's reaction is similar to Knock Out's and others after what she heard about Optimus Prime from Drift.]

...Optimus Prime? Really? You don't look--you're not exactly what I was expecting.

[Korra frowns, eyes downcast. Like she has room to talk, people probably expected a better Avatar than she. Someone more put together. And who the hell is she to say, she barely knows this Optimus Prime guy, just heard about him...heard of Optimus Prime copycats...but he did say some things that made sense.]

[Korra coughs, bows apologetically.]

Sorry, I might've heard some...exaggeration, about Optimus Prime.

[He had sorta sounded god-like to her, from what Drift was saying.]

[Korra musters up a smile.]

Hi, I'm Korra.

[She crosses her arms over her chest.]

Nice speech there.
docbot: (do not test me)

[personal profile] docbot 2012-06-28 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
It's nothing of importance. [ While this is a different Ratchet, they really do all sound similar. ] I'd forgotten, for a moment, what it meant that people from multiple universes are part of the population.
docbot: (hold onto the wings of the angels)

[video]

[personal profile] docbot 2012-06-28 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a good question. [ His eyes narrow because you look like crap, Drift. ]

The more pertinent question, though, is why you're walking around in such an obvious state of disrepair.

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2012-06-28 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow that is a very EXTREME CLOSE UP in his vid screen. Of a mech who does not look happy. And Drift would really rather talk more about the first question.]

I, uh, I mean. It's not disrepair!

Not exactly.

It's a plague.

[Totally different, see?]
docbot: (fire in the disco)

[video]

[personal profile] docbot 2012-06-28 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmhm. Right. And have you had any medical treatment for this plague?

[ Oho, Ratchet looks so unhappy now. You might even be able to guess his identity, since he and his IDW counterpart don't look all that different, and their voices... well. All Ratchets seem to sound rather similar just like all Optimus Primes do... ]
sword_redemption: (D:)

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2012-06-28 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[My, what piercing blue optics you have there. They see into Drift's soul!]

[Long pause which is not guilty or avoidy at all.]

Uh.

Define 'medical treatment'?

[He can guess just from the attitude!]
engrishdetective: (time for some punching)

[personal profile] engrishdetective 2012-06-28 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Autobot? Those are some pretty new pieces of terminology to me. What's that?

Buuut you sound a bit similar to my partner here. Chances are, you two might wanna talk it out.
docbot: (not one of us)

[video]

[personal profile] docbot 2012-06-28 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Treatment by an actual medic with a confirmed favourable prognosis.

[ Even more glowering. ]

And guessing from your reply, I'm going to say that the answer is "No, Ratchet, I'm a big strong Autobot who is obviously just so powerful that I'm going to wish myself healthy". Which, for the record, is not an answer I'm prepared to take from you.

Location, Autobot. Now.

[ Doctor's going to be making an at-home visit. Be afraid. Be very afraid. ]
sword_redemption: (D:)

[video]

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2012-06-28 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Ummmm.

No, to that second part. [Yeah, no favorable prognosis. He's going to die.]

[He'll just look a bit sheepish at your guess. It's like you already know him!]

Would you take...you should stay away because I don't want to infect you?
docbot: (feeling like I'm walking into danger)

[video]

[personal profile] docbot 2012-06-28 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ratchet has just known far too many foolhardy Autobots in his time. He's taken prediction of the whole attitude of machismo down to an art. ]

If I were afraid of infection, I wouldn't be the Chief Medical Officer assigned to Optimus Prime, now, would I?

[ His expression softens just the slightest, because he's not mad as much as he is frustrated, like a father with children who just won't listen. ]

Now give me your location, soldier, so I can come take a look. I'm a bit hardier than other mechs, and I'll have my quarantine processes running if you're that afraid of cross-infection.
sword_redemption: (this is my gnrrrr face)

[video]

[personal profile] sword_redemption 2012-06-28 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah. Drift's noticed that.]

I didn't say you were 'afraid'. [But, point taken.]

[He's going to take a minute, trying to find another reason to refuse, but, yeah. He's coming up empty.]

Fine. [He sends coordinates: in the Junk Pile of course. ] Just... be careful.
docbot: (got a semi by the sea)

[action?]

[personal profile] docbot 2012-06-28 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. I'll be there in a tick.

[ Ratchet nods into the comm, then transforms, cutting communication as he drives out of Solus's Temple in the direction of the coordinates he'd been given. ]

To meet the bot in the alloy is...underwhelming.
wheeljackofalltrades: (That's not very impressive)

[Video]

[personal profile] wheeljackofalltrades 2012-06-28 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wheeljack's going to stop you right there, Optimus. Sorry, he's just hardly impressed with his own Prime, you're just going to get the skeptical treatment. He's sorry in advance.]

Optimus Prime, huh?

No really, who are ya?

[You're just so tiny.]
youhavebeenswindled: (You know you want this)

[Video]

[personal profile] youhavebeenswindled 2012-06-28 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Working together? That's a wonderful idea!

Sounds like a bit of a difficult job if I've ever heard of one though, good luck to you!

[Swindle doesn't see this lasting very long, but he'll sit on the sidelines and eat his energon popcorn like a good bystander.]

[So.]

[About dying.]

[Let's not even bring it up okay?]


Prowl, reporting in.

[Hello fellow-blue-leader-type-character.]

Pleased to make your acquaintance. I'm Deckerd, leader of the Brave Police. I'm definitely interested in working together with anyone who is willing so we can all make this easier on each other and get home soon.

So what are you really?

An Optimus Prime-fanboy?

Some sort of weird kid version that has a face?

Optimus Prime's mini me?

What?
not_halfbaked: (hey there)

Re: [Video]

[personal profile] not_halfbaked 2012-06-29 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you're a different world's Optimus?

[Korra shook her head.]

Sorry, this is all really new to me. I never knew there'd be this many different worlds, and like more than one earth, just a lot of different versions of the same person--! It's all too strange.

Pleasure's mine.

So, have you found any of your crew yet?
