[ VIDEO ][ ORIGIN: Megatronus Prime's Temple ]

[ Overlord always had a bit of a flair for the dramatic when addressing an audience, so video it is.

He's unashamed of showing his face, broken eye and all, energon drying on his cheek. He surveys the feed for a moment, annoyance tugging at his expression. It eventually molds into a default smile. ]

I've been briefed on the situation. Decepticons! I'm assuming command from this point forward. Join with me and you will be rewarded.

[ And just by the tone of his voice, it's less asking and more of a demand. He reaches up, wiping away stray bits of glass and smearing the tacky drops of energon over his cheek. Very casual, like it doesn't hurt at all. ]

Perhaps one of you would be kind enough to help me. I'm in need of repairs. Bring me someone who can do the task.

I called dibs first, buddy.

And I think we both know how that went, Starscream.

That doesn't mean I'm going to stand aside and let someone else try.

So, you'd then be fighting over the right to...attempt to claim the vestiges of the Decepticon faction--which exists here in a variety of incarnations not all necessarily alike--to which no one has shown an interest in actually maintaining or showing any loyalty towards?

[Have a grocery list of facts. Sorry they're so negative.]

Is that right?

You're sometimes really annoying, you know that right?

[Stop being right, Wing.]

[He laughs.] You've told me several times yes. I'm starting to take it as a compliment actually.

Just trying to look at things practically and potentially save you the effort. If you're going to fight for it, it better be worth it.

[And he's probably saving you from other things too, little does he know.]

If everyone would just see things my way and serve me then we wouldn't have that problem.

In your perfect world they would.

[A beat.]

But I think we both know that no one's perfect world exists. Not even here.

Are you trying to say that I'm delusional?

[We won't talk about his imaginary leadership speeches.]

[Wing gives you a look. He didn't before, but now that you mention it...it's worth consideration.]

No, we all have hopes for the world don't we? Not everyone shares the same ones.

Unfortunately.

Pff. Hopes for the world?

Forget that, just give me leadership.

[~~Of the universe~~]

[ Oh, a Starscream. Not threatening. ]

Have you, now. And how do you plan to protect that claim?

For now, I'll just sit back and watch you fail.

[And rant in his room over how much sense Wing made about the whole thing.]

[ He shrugs. ]

I can't fail. Eventually, all the pieces will fall into place. Either willingly or by force.

I heard a silver-colored mech say that once. He ended up getting his face blasted off and thrown into space.

Just saying.

[ Nice description there. ]

Anyone weak or stupid enough to end up with their face blasted off deserves it.

Oooh. If Megatron ever shows up here, I'll let him know you said that.

[The real Megatron. Not that weirdo good guy person.]

Oh, please do.
