[Video - Transmission from: Megatronus's Quadrant] 2nd Flight

[prettyfly4adinobot]

[Hello network. There is a robot dinosaur broadcasting! For a while he just eyeballs the feed, then transforms into his robot mode, flail slung across one shoulder.]

Bots going missing, bots hurting other bots... no wonder Dinobots stay on island. Other Cybertronians crazy. Still. Me, Swoop, want to help. Am flier; can see more than others. Maybe can find who you missing faster. You want help, let me know.

And... [He shifts to show off the Glyph on his arm. There's a gold outline around the base black of it.] ... me know what black is. Who gold?


[Locked FROM Grimlock]

[Finally, he has one last thing that he's hoping he managed to do right. He doesn't want to spoil the surprise for a certain Dinobot leader.]

Me need some help. Who here know how to make weapons? Want to make gift for someone but... me, Swoop not know how.

[Completely ignoring Swoop's topic of interest.] Every time you think you've met the last rare exception to the "No flying Autobots" rule, another one shows up! Who even started that?

[prettyfly4adinobot]

[He churrs.]

Not Autobot, am Dinobot. Big difference. And of course me fly, me have fly. Have wings. If problem, tell him big bucket-head Megatron; him made me.

[dontasktrix]

Whatever color glyph you got, if Megatron didn't brand you, then you may as well be an Autobot, or, like, their second string.

['Cause don't some of them hang out with Sari? It's difficult to keep track of all the bots in Detroit while avoiding capture at the same time. Skipping over the fact that she's merely a clone of a Decepticon Megatron branded. Or that some Decepticon deserters likewise hung around with Sari.]

Chock full of 'Daddy issues' and complaints against aforementioned warlord over here. Guess it explains the flight codes, though.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Dinobots crush whoever annoys most. Autobot or Decepticon. Is no difference to us.

[Though it usually only happened with people that disturbed their island. They didn't like people on their home... which reminds him that Decepticons blew up part of it and then bigger Decepticons squashed part of it. Argh, so annoying.]

You made by him too? Him really need stop doing that. Actually... you look like him screamy-bot. But curvier.

[dontasktrix]

Can't argue that. Neither faction has stellar leadership.

[Gag.] Made by Megatron?? He wishes! [Sigh.] Let's just say it had more to do with the latter.

[Not that she's overjoyed Starscream made her, either, but it's not really a secret at this point.]

It's a Seeker body shell.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

No. Them all pretty dumb. Really dumb when them together, too.

[All that 'arglebargle gotta kill each other' thing.]

Ooh. You much better than them, though. Much less screamy or jerkish or annoying. What Seekers?
