[The first image you see of Jetfire is him waving his cane angrily at a bunch of acolytes.]

Don't you talk t'me about 'alternate universes'! I know 'em all! This isn't Cybertron! This is a joke! [He angrily stabs the ground with his cane. An acolyte approaches, but he quickly swats it away.] I'll not speakin' t'no drones! Where's your leader? [He aggressively pokes one of the acolytes in the face with his cane] Do ya even understand a word I'm even sayin'? Is anything gettin' through that one-bit processor o' yours? [Jetfire gets in the poor drone's face] Take - me - to - your - leader!

[Another drone attempts to pull Jetfire aside, but he whips back an arm and backhands the acolyte, knocking it to the ground. He turns and starts wailing on the little 'bot with his cane.] Tryin' t'sneak up on me, are you? Have you any idea who I am? My name's in history books! I was one of the first Seekers forged on Cybertron! The Mighty Jetfire! [He gives one last swift konk upside the drone's head, knocking the poor thing out.]

[And for a minute or so there's a bunch of old man complaining and muttering as he scuffles with the remaining acolytes. It's a blur of color and the communication link falls over, showing a lovely image of the dirt. The noises stop, and heavy footfalls shake the device; a second later, thick black claws pick up the communicator and hold it up, until Jetfire's old face is about pressed to the lens.] I'll not be havin' some half-arsed fairy-tale from the drones. Who's in charge here!? [And, oh lovely, black fuel-spittle sprays across the screen.] I'll take on all yer little pansy toys until you show yourself, "forgedfirsts"!

[Yeah, it was obvious Jetfire hadn't been totally listening. What he did catch he didn't understand. He's old, give him a break.]

[Huh. He'd heard you ripped out your own spark there, pal. He'd also heard legends about Jetfire, and meeting the Seeker - even over the Link - was somewhat more lackluster than he'd always hoped.]

The drones... the acolytes aren't lying.

Lyin', tellin' the truth, makin' up stories as they go along, I ain't answering to no drones. Where is the management?

Building a world. And you aren't being asked to answer to the acolytes, you're free to do as you please.

Oi, really? [And he gives a poor lingering acolyte another smack with his cane.] Then tell me where I can find these Firstforged so I can speak to them personally.

[Barricade snorts.] How should I know? I'm not their keeper. Considered asking for them by name? 'Cause I can tell you that at least.

Their names, then, at least give me their names!

You'd probably have the easiest time gettin' ahold of Alpha Trion, though Megatronus Prime tends t'be pretty chatty. Might try Prima, Liege Maximo, or Solus Prime too.

[HURM] Second time I've heard Megatronus's name. Tell me what he's like. Tell me if he's... done anything worth notin'.

Mostly he's made a point of loudly opposing the police force taking the lead on cases involving his Glyphed. Probably terrorizes them in his off-time. Beyond that he seems like a large, typical warrior. Been having all of his Glyphed tested for fighting prowess - heavens only know what for.

Bullying the local law force? Probably wants t'take as much control of this place as possible. He's never been fond o' sharing.

[He strokes his glorious beard] That cannae be good. He's probably trying to form his own army. That would not surprise me.

[Barricade quirks both of his left brow ridges. Well, that's a curious thing to say, Jetfire.] So you know him, then? Odd, considerin' this is the first I've seen of him. Unless you're one'a those fellas that used to be here and just showed up.

Mm. Maybe. Never can be sure, though.

Oh, I know him. [bitter, bitter chuckle] An' it's best never to let your guard down around him. S'long as there's a Megatronus here, I reckon something terrible will happen. Doesn't help the Megatron from my universe - ours - is here apparently as well.

He knows Megatronus too - well, a version of him. And was quite the aft-licker, if I'm not being too subtle.

He is. Bears Megatronus's glyph, too. So does our Shockwave. And if your glyph is black then so do you.

[... Wait. Wait just a second there. It does not take him long to put two and two together but he's not sure if he's reached 'four' or somehow veered off to 'cucumber'.] Are you implying what I think you're implying?
