Alright, I think I understand what was explained to me, while it sounds different from what happened to Cliffjumper in some ways, it also sounds similar.

Greetings friends, I am searching for those who might know me, Decepticons most likely. If there is anyone here who recognizes my voice, please contact me here.

Beyond that I am curious if there is other information that is prudent to know. Beyond that which I was briefed on when I awoke. Is my lack of memory for arriving here standard for everyone, or could there be a potential for damage?

[With his searching done as much as he could without leaving, and his most important question asked he waits patiently for a response.]

((OOC note: Open to action for those who would be at Prima's temple, just let me know, thanks <3))

[Wing never expected to hear "Decepticons" and "Friends" in the same sentence. Not before meeting Soundwave two weeks ago at any rate. So this broadcast catches his attention.]

Greetings. I am Wing. There are several that claim, or previously claimed, allegiance to that faction. Is there anyone in particular that you are looking for? Perhaps I can help?

Greetings Wing. If they are present I am searching most notably for Soundwave, Starscream and Cliffjumper. Though I was hoping that should any other of those that have banded under the Decepticon name were here that they should know I was present. Of course I have no intention of interfering with any social structures in place.

[The video feed flicks on and Wing has to cycle his optics. You look startling familiar but some things just aren't right, and it's been a very long time since he's seen the broadcasts of you counterpart. Still, it's startling enough that he misses some of your words.]

[He focuses on the familiar names.] Soundave is here...and he bears the same red brand that you do. There are several Starscreams but they all bear the violet Decepticon brand that I'm more familiar with.

[Forgive him for the awkward pauses, he's trying to process your words and demeanor.]

I--I'm sorry, what did you say your designation was?

It is good to hear that Soundwave is here, though the Starscream from my world bears the same brand I do.

[He smiles at the mech, he has no need to be rude to him by any means.]

I am Megatron.

Soundwave is the only other than I know of with that brand. [His expression shifts to a slight smile, because well, there's always a bright side right?] At least he's not alone now. I'm sure he'll be happy to have one of his comrades here.

[But OH. That's not what Wing expected. Even with the video, and knowing your universe is, well, different, it's still a lot of process.]

I--WOW... [Have a few ticks of stunned silence] I'm sorry. I don't...mean to be rude. It's a pretty amazing difference though, even though we've only just met, compared to the Megatron I know of. [It's not as if Wing even knew his world's Megatron, but frankly the PR was enough.]

I am like wise glad to have Soundwave around. He is a mech who can find the best in most any situation.

From what I've been told I am far more alike to the Optimus Prime of your universe, most likely. I am, of course, assuming that you unused to Decepticons who fight for freedom and Autobots who have a goal of total conquest.

That he is. It's a pleasure to have him as a friend.

Perhaps, but I can't say I am any more familiar with my world's Optimus as I am our Megatron. I never took sides in the war.

Our Autobots and Decepticons fought for the same things--inversely of course--but both lost sight of the importance of the preservation of life. And so much of it was lost. Even Cybertron itself... or very nearly.

[There bitterness and sadness in those words, though he tries not to let it seep through.]

I am glad to hear he has been gaining friends, though it is unsurprising with his general demeanor.

I suppose I should be thankful for this, as it means there is a minimal amount of negative personal experience that I would be challenging.

I am... regretful to say that the Cybertron that is my home has been deeply scared as well. I wish I could say for a fact that we are fairing better to keep to the reason we started fighting back, but I can not with full certainty.

[If Wing's words are bitter and sad then Megatron's are equally, and openly regretful and mournful.]

Soundwave is a good mech, to be certain.

[Wing has to chuckle at this, because it's so simplistically true.] I tend to prefer to judge people on their individual merits rather than labels when I can. Once I accepted the concept of your universe as described to me by Soundwave, it was much easier to see you all in a different light.

[Wing nods, it's a familiar tale.] There are no winners in a war such as that. It's the reason my order left the planet with as many non-combatant refugees as we could. Sometimes I find it amazing as much of the race survived as it did.

[There's more sorrow than bitterness, and though the bitterness is tarnished and dulled with age, it's obvious that it once had a sharp bite.]

[But Wing is always one to look for a brighter side.] At least here, we all have a new start. In more ways than one.

I am glad you choose to consider each individual on their own, it is an admirable trait. I am quite thankful that Soundwave arrived before me, if for no other reason than he is so obviously honest it is easy to listen to what he has to say. I fear from what little I understand of my counterpart in other universes I may be difficult for some to trust in terms of honesty.

I am glad to hear that there were those who protected the ones who could not fight.

This is quite true, it is my hope that here we can build the foundations for what will become a solid society.

I do my best, thank you. And I do imagine people's ability to adjust to the concept was greatly helped by Soundwave proceeding you, yes. I'd...hate to think how it would have turned out otherwise.

[He nods.] They are the ones that wars are often fought for, yet they are often the first to be forgotten admist the fighting.

Yes. It will be a great deal of hard work, and there is much to do, but it will be worth it in the end.

Yes, he is, I would think, a bit easier to adjust to as a first experience with those from my universe between the two of us.

It is a sad truth, even in our own war I know we have been unable to focus, lately, on those that we chose to fight for, but instead on when and where to press against our foes. Unfortunately, in my universe, if we did not pose opposition, the fate of those same individuals would, most likely, be even worse than what the war has put them through.

Cybertron is worth any amount of work. [Yes, he is already fond of this place just by nature of being another dimensional version of his own home.]

It seems to be a running theme with our kind. A sad fact. I hope... that does not happen here.

I agree. This one is beautiful, even in stages as young and raw as it is. It needs out protection.

I hope so as well my friend. All we can do is give our best to this place and try to guide it on the path toward a peaceful existence.

Yes. It's good to know there are others that feel the same way. Best of luck to you!

Same to you, and I hope that when ever our paths cross here it they do so only in piece.
