[Video] [TRANSMISSION ORIGINATING FROM: JUNKPILE]

[The feed opens to a cheerful looking Swindle relaxing on a chunk of metal, apparently totally at ease with being transported to another dimension and losing almost everything he owns. Oh yes, it's unfortunate that he's lost all of it, but there's no point in dwelling on it right? Time to move on to new things and adapt to the situation.]

Greetings Autobots, Decepticons alike! The name's Swindle, and I'm here to make you an offer! I am aware that many of you may have lost a weapon or two upon arriving in this marvellous world, and I'm perfectly willing to offer you a replacement weapon... for a price of course. I can also do weapon repairs for anyone who needs them, so I hope I can prove to you my devotion to good customer service in the future.

But this is not just a business call! Since we're all in this together, why don't you tell me a little about yourselves? I love meeting new people, and how often can I say I've met others from a completely different dimension? This goes for you organic types too!

[Besides, it's more beneficial to him to be friendly with everyone than enemies. Now if he had a Megatron to hide behind, things would be totally different.]

[It's always great to hear someone who knows what they want, it both makes things easier and a little more difficult for Swindle. Still, it should be interesting right? Especially since it seems like they're both going to benefit from this.]

I would never do that! But sadly, you only have my word on it.

Either way, I accept your terms. It'll be a pleasure doing business with you Mr...?

[megamind]

Agreed. [At least they seem to understand each other. Megamind is sure he can trust the man about as far as he can throw him, but for now, he needs allies if he's going to take care of himself with no Minion and no friends. Allies, people he can use... will be, sadly, necessary.]

I am called Megamind. Do you have a name?

[voice]

[youhavebeenswindled]

Megamind is a remarkably interesting name! Aha, my name is Swindle, nice to meet ya!

[Swindle himself is out looking for friends and allies, which is why he's being even more sickingly friendly than he usually is. So far he's doing a pretty good job, and he's pleased with himself.]

[megamind]

[That earns a laugh; well, he's found a fellow villain, at least. Nobody calls themselves Swindle if they're not.]

[At least he's not dealing with some high-minded muckity-muck good two-shoes. Another villain will understand the way he works, he thinks.]

An interesting moniker! Yes, I think this will be fine. Have you been shuffled off to one of these 'temples'?
