[Audio/Video] Totally not compensating for anything, nope.

Absolute glitchin' slag.

[There's more insults than those being muttered over the audio, but they're kept at a lower pitch, and the noises of metal or other items being thrown around obscures some of it.]

One of these days I'm actually gonna get to stay put an' where the slag--- [Either the speaker just stumbled over something, or yanked something out of a pile.] Finally! Ugh. Okay.

[And then have video and a red cybertronian with sensor horns leaning against... a very large cannon (or is he just that small?).]

Any of you find a large sniper rifle calibrated for someone my height before I do, I'd appreciate if you ask me if it's mine.

[Because that thing was made for him, so. And while sniper rifles aren't his favourite weapon, he's picked up the talent and he came here with it... as his found cannon can testify. Cliffjumper grunts and drags a hand down his faceplates.]

Got the basics, blah blah, besides that what is the situation? An' for the information, apparently even TransTech, who proclaimed themselves quite above the rest of us, can't make proper stellar span.... er, space bridges.

[He's not going to assume anyone he knows... from either two dimensions or Axiom Nexus is here. And the real kicker? He has the vaguest impression he sort of bounced briefly into the negative polarity universe before coming here, but he's not sure and that, along with his missing weapons, is just torqueing him off.]

[Any other reply than Cliffjumper jerking and staring, optics narrowed, at Blurr for some reason will have to be delayed. One hand tenses and relaxes into a fist and then loose again. Then he straightens up and shakes his helm.]

Blurr, right. Sorry 'bout that.

[Relaxed again, that look just causes Cliffjumper to grin and pat the cannon, amused. Though the idea of being banned from missions isn't very "pleasant" so to speak.]

That's a new one on alternates... Dunno if I like that better than the alternate in the reality I was in before.

[He grunts and nods at the latter comment.]

That's a good thing, if nothin' else 'cause they're annoyingly arrogant an' think they're better than everybody else.

[Blurr is more than a bit confused by that reaction, no lie.]

Itsokay. Is there a problem...?

[That is such a huge canon dear Primus.]This place Is not as bad as it looks a..alternate? How was the one you knew before?

Thosesoundlikethedecepticonsfrommyworld.

... [He just shakes his helm at first, dragging a hand down his faceplates before peering through his fingers right before his hand drops away.]

The TransTech were both Decepticons an' Autobots, and for all the rest...

[A shrug and another pause.]

Is all connected. Before I got here... and before I ended up in Axiom Nexus, I was in a dimension were everything was flipped around. Ya know the Soundwave with the red Decepticon insignia?

[Cliffjumper tapped the center of his chestplates where a small raised vent for his altmode was, briefly displaying a red Autobrand before it disappeared.]

Decepticons're like us there [or "worse", honestly, but shh] and the only Blurr I've met was from there.

[Blurr listens and nods. He has an ides of where this is going now.]

You are THAT Cliffjumper. Soundwave mentioned you. He also mentioned that other me but never really gave me _any details about him. Imquitecurious.

Nototious, huh?

[He just grins though and then shrugs.]

Ya don't share the same altmode, an' he's a darker blue. Also got an eyepatch, don't know why. Also needs to steal speed from other things to be able to go fast.

[Technically, remove an object's velocity from the object to himself, but Cliffjumper didn't sling around those terms.]

I think all the Cliffjumpers are if you ask me I miss the one from my universe.

Don't tell me he's a flier? [That would be pretty nice actually Blurr was always interested in flying even if he enjoys running more than anything.]..WHAT? But..THAT'S CHEATING.

... Not sure if that's good or bad. [Snickering, he sobered up somewhat to nod at the latter half. He missed others as well... both from his original dimension and the negative polarity one.]

Nah, he's a car. Just different from yours, even with the... [he waved a hand vaguely at the display, indicating Blurr himself] differences in looks.

[Optics flickering at the outburst, Cliffjumper couldn't help but laugh, reining it in quickly though.]

I--- pft, suppose it is. Effect's the same though; faster than everybody else, even if he kinda needs a prerequisite.

It's familiar at least FAMILIARITY is a good thing.

He still has the spike? [Blurr points to his head. That seems to be a common trait.

And using other mechs's speed is cheating and totally wrong in his books. He's already ashamed of his counterpart.]

NO it can't the same HE'S not making any real effort how can he.....! [Okay, Blurr chill.]...uh..sorry.

Edited 2012-08-15 01:51 (UTC)

Yeah, familiarity... helps. [He grmaces a bit and shakes his helm.] Every little bit of it, really. Sideswipe had defected to the 'Cons, an' even if he wasn't the same it kinda helped.

[A quick glance to follow Blurr's hand and Cliffjumper nods.]

Yeah, he does. Did? I ain't seen him since before we left for Earth, so I'm not sure---

[He stops and shrugs. Not sure he's still alive.

And then he smothers a smirk and hols up his hands, palm out.]

Hey, no offense meant. I suppose it kinda is like cheatin' since he'd depriving someone else of the same speed he uses to boost himself.

Sideswipe...? I know him but briefly he's a senior investigator for the Police Defense Command in my world. Why did he change sides?

Ahokaythanks I was only curious.

[Blurr rubs his helm.] Sorry I got carried away.

[That gets a look from Cliffjumper, because that? Is so very odd of a thing to associate with Sideswipe... either of them that he knows.]

Huh. [A shrug.] And he changed 'cause the fraggin' imitation of a rusting Prime thought... uh... Drench, the leader of the Seekers, was a traitor, an' later thought Sideswipe was the same and tried to have him assassinated.

[It was a bit winding. Not to mention Sideswipe and changed his colours to those of Drench's after he got killed.]

Nah, no worries. Can see why. Those so-supposed Autobots gets my gears turnin' backwards too.

[It's said with a grown and his arms getting folded over his chestplates.]

[Blurr blinks right back at him, confused by the look. Did he say something wrong?]

Prime? Which one? Was it Sentinel? I know he's hard to get along sometimes but he is not so bad and he does mean well.

[It does sounds winding, Blurr makes a face.]

I guess still need to get used to certain universes.

... Only one Prime at a time where I'm from, Blurr.

[Cliffjumper's smile is lopsided, and at least he's somewhat used to the differences by now.]

The only Prime I know, in both realities, is Optimus Prime. Even if the one from the negative polarity universe is a genocidal, mad tyrant not worthy of the name.

[Which he'd just claimed!]

Know what ya mean. [He grimaces, nearly reflexively and waves a hand around.] It can take a while before you do get used to it, an' even then things can throw ya for a loop.

One? Thatsreallystrange. There's far more than just one in my world but Ultra Magnus is the mech in charge now HE and the council.

The Megatron that just arrived here mentioned an Optimus Prime the mere thought of evil autobots It's a bit upsetting

Joy.

Where I'm from Optimus Prime is the one in charge. If he ever offlines, the Matrix will go to someone else an' he'll become Prime. They did it in another way earlier, but I don't think that's how it's gonna be now... Either way, you've got the Matrix, you're Prime, you lead.

[Cliffjumper shrugd, and then grimaces.]

Upsettin'? Try really fraggin' strange an' completely infuriating. Prime's the worst one.

[Cliffjumper growls, scowling, and there might be some personal frustration there, if only because well... He really looked up to the one from his own reality, even if and when they butted helms, so the negative polarity version... Well.]

How stra...he Matrix? He carries it with him? [Blurr's optic widen That makes no sense. The Matrix is too powerful to be keep inside a mech like that.]

[BLurr is a bit taken aback by the ferocity of that reply, actually. Congrats, Cliff.]

[(Un)fortunately(?) Cliffjumper doesn't really notice Blurr's surprised by his vehemence against the negative polarity Prime, and rather just shrugs at the confusion over the Matrix.]

Uhh, sure he does. Pretty sure that's what's it's made for, except when needed or somethin'.

[He's still looking bemused.]

Made for? But..it makes no sense how could he...?

[It seems they have some sort of failure to communicate here. Or just a matter of differen understanding. Cliffjumper rubs the back of his helm, rather bemused himself.]

Well, I ain't ever gotten chosen to be the Prime, but I think some sorta reformat comes with it, so it can be carried in the chestplates, in front of the spark? Safeguarded, like.

... What's the Matrix in your reality like?

It is...not like that in my world.

The AllSpark got shattered and the pieces are all scrambled around earth right now it's a long and complicated story and I don't even know ALL the details.

Allspark? What's that got to do with the Matrix? I mean... [Cliffjumper frowns, waving a hand around vaguely.]

I've heard 'bout the... or a since I'm rather sure there was more than one reality with that thing, Allspark, but I didn't think that had anythin' to do with the Matrix?

You call it Matrix we call it AllSpark in my world HERE I discovered that some other universes use only the first term.

[Blurr got cubed before he knew that the reconstruction of the shattered AllSpark was put into a new container called AlLSpark MATRIX. So there, confusion.]

... Oh, huh. I suppose that makes sense. Though I think there's some more... er... differences than just the name between the Allspark and the Matrix?

[He rubs the back of his helm again, frown deepening.]

The Creation Matrix's where sparks come from, though, 'course, ultimate source's Primus. An' it can be used to beat the slag out of Unicron.

[He's still somewhat frustrated that he couldn't be there to help when all that went down.]

[Blurr listens, both interested and somewhat surprised.]

The ultimate power source's Primus in my world too but ..are you telling me that Unicron is a physical real entity in you world?

[He grimaces and nods.]

Yeah. Hard to believe, right? But Primus got woken up within Cybertron in my reality, an' that called Unicron, so everybody who was able had to actually help and fight him... In the end the Matrix, and the essence of Primus within, was what defeated him.

[Cliffjumper's frowning, but it's all mostly calmly retold; he wasn't there himself, after all, but rather stuck in emergency stasis lock so he wouldn't die.]
