[Video] Possible Responses from both TFP Shockwave and Starscream
[Starscream had awoken to find himself lost, confused, alone, and at a disadvantage more than thrice over. That had been two weeks ago. In that time he'd remembered a few things -- not nearly enough by any standard -- but he knew the war at home was won, and furthermore, was sure he'd been here before.
Discreetly skulking around, he'd tried to regain his bearings, and the specialized scanning software of a commanding energon seeker had allowed him to eventually find his present location, hidden as it was:Shockwave's mancave Starscream's new secret fort. To be fair, massive amounts of energon hidden beneath the landscape usually merited looking into anyway.
That was one week ago.]
[Private to Liege Maximo]
[It had taken Starscream this long to decide he was going to contact his Prime. The memory of Maximo was there, but it was as much a comfort as it was distressing. Starscream didn't know what note their relationship had last been on, but he sincerely hoped it was a positive one.]
My Liege, your humble servant returns. [He bows, the video dipping slightly] I await your command, and relish the opportunity of being of use to you -- however you deem fit.
[Welp, here's hoping that covered most of the important bases. And at the very least, it might be enough of a heads-up should Starscream find himself suddenly in need of ... hopping back off-grid.]
[Everybody else: ]
[The video opens to Starscream grinning in a dark, somewhat poorly lit place.]
Some of you might be wondering after my absence. [Of how long, he's uncomfortably unsure.] Well, rest assured, Haven, my time spent away has led to great accomplishments.
[The camera pans out as Starscream presents this with a grandiose gesture. Straightening, he thumbs a button on a device in his hand and the glowing lights instantly shut off. The camera pans back to Starscream, following him as he moves away. ]
While under the radar, I've been busy creating this. Allow me to present to you: ~a fully functional groundbridge~.
[Smugness levels are off the charts]
Yes, that's right, in this cave, using little more than a box of scraps, I've been able to engineer an incredibly sophisticated piece of machinery. Now, I might be a genius, but it was certainly no small feat given what I had to work with. And yet, here we are.
Should any of you want to use my bridge, know this: admissions is hardly free. But~ I'm sure with enough begging, we can work something out~~. I --
[Off screen there's a flash of light, and the very distinct sound of a groundbridge activating.]
I'll call you back.

Dude. What? 1/2
[perma-video]
WHAT DO YOU MEAN: "DIE?" WHY WOULD I DIE?!
SPEAK UP!
Re: [perma-video]
Well. You have a portal. And Megatron has always wanted one of those. So he'll probably kill you for it.
[Shrug] I mean, I would.
Someone's still riding high off the won war.
You obviously have no idea who I am. I've already gifted Megatron with not one, but two space-bridges. Besides, he knows how valuable I am to his cause. [He's killed people for him~~]
You wouldn't survive the attempt. Not against Megatron's
[video] watch as they babble nonsense at eachother
[Twitches, lip curling.] I've fought my template before. We were pretty even.
I was just thinking that. So pretty much just another day for the seeker flock.
And "template?" What does that even mean?
caw caw caw
What, you didn't make any clones?
Screeeee
How would you know about that?!
Re: Screeeee
Oh, so you did? Then you should know what I mean by 'template'. As in, the original Starscream.
no subject
I AM the original Starscream!!
no subject
Right- but not my original Starscream. I'm definitely not a clone of you.
no subject
There are no others. Just me.
I'm one of a kind not counting the clones, obviously.
