[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.

[Shockwave is just going to man the helm here, Starscream. Don't mind him.]
[No really. It's better if you sit this one out. If you make him look bad in front of the other Shockwave he's going to rip off your arms wookie-style.]
It is a Space Bridge, but interference from the Lambda has limited it's range. It is an issue I am currently looking into.
[video]
[At least someone in that room isn't an idiot.]
It would seem then that you have a pest in your lab. I could have the Driller exterminate it for you.
[video-jack]
A pest?!
[Starscream puffs out his chest, wings drawing back indignantly.]
I'll have you know that I am Shockwave's superior and commanding officer!
[video]
[And that's really all the attention he pays Starscream, making sure to focus back on the other Shockwave.]
The Driller can still come exterminate it, if you'd like.
[video]
That will not be necessary. I may contact you later regarding the Lambda's interference for corroboration.
[Starscream stop hopping into the frame. He's just going to hold the comm a little bit higher.]
[video]
[Yes. Yes he means Starscream.]
[video]
"That?" I have a name, you know; Commander Starscream! And I expect you to demonstrate the proper respect merited to someone who's been in charge of the construction of multiple spacebridges!

Who do you think you are?
[If this were any other robot than Shockwave, Starscream would have much less restraint in using the poor brute as his own personal jungle gym. But since this WAS Shockwave, the best he can do at trying to intimidate the stranger on the other end of the line, is to try and keep himself in Pwave's broadcasting window.]

[Wait.]
[The more he thinks about it, the more preposterous it is.]

Pull the other wing, it's got bells on it.
What else have you got for me? Go on.
[Wow, he almost fell for it for a whole second there.]

[Your disbelief in other realities does not amuse. And really Starscream. You're going to question the giant huge tank covered in battle scars with both a gun and a sword if he's an assassin or not. Come now.]
Would you like me to make you scream? It's been so long since I've added to my symphony, you would be a lovely addition.
Duckface is one thing we'll never need to worry about with at least 2/3 of present company [1/?]
[And maybe if you took a few steps back from the camera he could better appreciate your rugged physique. A myspace photo is also appropriate.]

The eye's alright, but you really could have put more effort into your "disguise." Honestly, of all the people you could claim to--

Are you...
Are you flirting with me????
ahfbkajfbjshbksbksf i'm dying
Idiot.
[What passes for his brow raises. Are you insinuating that you'd even pass for his type? Nice as those hips are they wouldn't be worth the processor ache of listen to you whine.]
I do not flirt.
[Unless threatening to torture you is flirting, in which case. Yes, yes he is.]
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS CONVERSATION IS GOING
So... you're the sort of person who just takes what he wants then, are you?
[Have you SEEN the treatment he gets from the person he's most obsessed with? Have you seen his hobbies? Better yet, have you seen his expression after conveniently falling onto the bondage bed at Pwave's old lab? #Oops #Sillyme #But #now #that #I'm #here...]
BEAUTIFUL PLACES
[So sorry Starscream, but he's already taken by someone far less whiny.]
Starscream is AWFUL with pets...
[About that. You should introduce him to Starscream...]
it'll be like predaking all over again
[Back away now and you might live.]
