Now that our most recent issue has been resolved...

[Cue Megatronus' familiar murderous expression, also known as his Mondays face.]

Frenzy.

I will give you a choice. You will present yourself to the police force, or you will present yourself to me. These are your only options. If you choose to take a third route, I will make you regret your very existence.

Don't test my patience, either. You have one day.

[You know what you - allegedly - did, little cassette. You're not off the hook just yet. The only question is who you'd rather face the consequences from: your Firstforged, or the police?]

As for the rest of my Marked – I will be in the central temple for the next few days. If you have needs, let them be known now.

You wanted an opportunity to interrogate Frenzy. If he comes to me, I will allow it, but his punishment will remain my burden if he is guilty.

If he does not, you're free to do as you see fit with him.

Really? YOU are handling this thing with Frenzy?

[Call her impressed surprised. She didn't think you had it in you, Megatronus.]

[Video]

[megatronicpolarity]

[Give him a little credit, here, Kay!]

Naturally. Frenzy bears my Glyph; he is my responsibility.

[thxforthememories]

Is that how it's going to be? Every time one of yours commits a crime?

[video]

[megatronicpolarity]

Until your police force proves that it grasps the concept of "innocent until proven guilty," my intervention is necessary.

[So, yes. Definitely.]

audio;

[arnhaid]

Good for you.

Don't need anything.

[He just wanted to sass a little.]

[video]

[megatronicpolarity]

[Your sass is like a single drop of rain next to the sass-storm that is Gunmax, Ironhide. Megatronus isn't perturbed.]

I take it that you've found a physical pursuit to occupy your time, then?

[Locked to the Police Force + Megatronus.]

[raceme]

Understood.

Thank you, sir. [See, Blurr can be polite.]

[He's not going to comment on the punishment part because, while he does not agree of Megatronus doing it, he doens't want to make things worse. Their relationship is strained enough as it is.]

[video]

[megatronicpolarity]

[Blurr can be polite, and Megatronus can give him that suspicious I-think-you've-suffered-a-serious-head-injury look in response.]

Save your thanks. You may yet have to run him down.

[If Frenzy decides to take his chances by going against both of them...]

[deadlydoctor]

[Someone looks tense today. It reminds Knock Out of his Megatron.]

The little guy has talent to get himself in trouble, hm?

I suggest a good buffing. Ah, for you sir, not him. It does wonders after a frustrating day.

[megatronicpolarity]

He as well as the majority of my Marked.

[If he sounds disinterested, it's because he's entirely used to this sort of behaviour from his Refugees. Frenzy is at least less difficult to handle than Overlord.]

Is that a comment on the state of my armor?

[mccrane]

[Hearing Megatronus's voice again may or may not have made McCrane visibly flinch.]

...

[We're going to go with 'absolutely may.']

I appreciate it, sir.

Will we be allowed to determine his guilt?

[megatronicpolarity]

[Oh, McCrane, you flatter him! As an added bonus, the little Earth mech finally seems to have gotten the natural order of life in the Haven through his processor.

That therapy is definitely worth whatever it cost him.]

I believe we are all in agreement that murder is a crime worthy of punishment.

[He's surprised that any of them doubted his stance on the matter. Megatronus was, after all, the one to hand down that announcement on behalf of the Firstforged.]

If you can present concrete evidence that Frenzy was Four's killer, he will face appropriate consequences.

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

[god
DDDDDDDDDDDDDD]

[Okay, well, once he's gotten over the sheer terror and eep!s...]

Uhh... S-So, um. [IF ROBOTS COULD SWEAT, MAN] Y-You needed t'see me, b-boss?

[video]

[megatronicpolarity]

Indeed - in person. Come to my temple.

[That one-day time limit is still ticking down, Frenzy.]

[noparachutes]

Do you require anything?

[You asked about needs, this is a need. Peace is maddening.]

[megatronicpolarity]

[Shockwave always manages to make himself useful. Clearly his original Megatron brought him up right... or beat him into the right shape. One of the two.]

I do: a status update. What progress have you made on the evaluations?

[Video]

[tearsofsteel]

Glad to know you can compromise.

We'll be sure to make sure he gets justice either way.

[Video]

[megatronicpolarity]

[No, Albert, no. This "challenging authority" thing is not a rewarding path to tread with Megatronus.]

Good luck to you if your notion of justice should run counter to my own.

[Video]

[wrex_it_krogan]

Give me warning next time the lambada makes us something else.

Being a raccoon was a pain in the ass.

[Video]

[megatronicpolarity]

If we had had advance warning of the event, we would have taken precautions to prevent its effects. These things are not always predictable.

[Video]

[aerospacecommander]

Want me to keep an eye out on your place while you're away?

[Video]

[megatronicpolarity]

I am not leaving your ego to administrate any part of my territory.

[Starscream is part of the law committee. He has much better chances of taking over that than he does of taking over anything belonging to Megatronus Prime.]

video

[lifepersists]

I don't personally need anything.

Is there anything I can do for you?

video

[megatronicpolarity]

Other than fetching me a stiff drink...

Not at this time, no. I have a sufficient number of functioning Acolytes to manage the routine tasks.

[Megatronus pauses, cocking his head to the side.]

You're not bored, are you?

[video]

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Oooh, annoying Decepticon in trouble...

[Swoop whistles sharply, sounding not dissimilar from a kid ragging on a classmate for being called in by the principal.]

So you him Megatronus Prime, huh? Interesting armor.

[video]

[megatronicpolarity]

When isn't a Decepticon in trouble?

[He has to admit that they make up the majority of his routine troublemakers.]

I am - and if my Acolyte's files are correct, you're Swoop, aren't you? You made quite a mess of one of my servants.

[headcollector]

[ Excuse Grimlock while he laughs a bit at Frenzy's predicament. ]

Stupid cassette.

[Text]

[4_toteachus]

You're really going to do something about Frenzy?

[Video]

[megatronicpolarity]

If he is indeed guilty, yes.

How much do you remember of the incident?

[Locked to the Police Force + Megatronus]

[thehardway]

Acknowledged.

I will remain on standby, then.

[Locked to the Police Force + Megatronus]

[megatronicpolarity]

Have you selected your interrogator yet?

[You know, so he can make sure his Acolytes don't shoot that guy in particular.]
