[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.

Swoop. You got my back on this, right?

[He's pretty short on words recently, but..

Leader of the Wreckers. Time to make some noise. And he'll need all the noisemakers he can get with the recent...disappearances.]

[Audio]

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Yep. You no get rid of Swoop that easily.

[Though really? There's been a significant lack of fighting going on here. He doesn't know most of the involved parties - and when it comes to matters of faction, rarely cares - but he's always up for a fight.

And even from the air he'd noticed that Wheeljack was gearing up the Wreckers. Swoop's a Wrecker now too... and from what he could suppose, they could use more air support anyway.]

Tell me where to go, wait for fireworks.

[Audio]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[It's comforting to hear Swoop's support. To be honest, with his Wreckers dropping off again, his own spark sunk when he saw just how little were left.]

I know you're itchin' for a fight. I am too.

But we're doin' this smart. Tarn's a special case. But when the time comes, I want ya to bring the rain.

[Audio]

[prettyfly4adinobot]

[Swoop is not the sort to up and vanish... and really, Wheeljack hasn't managed to chase him off yet, which is the only way to convince him to leave.]

Me leave planning to you. But you call, forecast become explosive with chance of bashing.

[Audio]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[They're convincing words (or actions) to be sure. There's a slight chuckle behind the feed, and you can almost feel the confidence building. Not that he didn't have any to start with.]

I like the way you think, Swoop. Don't let me down.

[Audio]

[prettyfly4adinobot]

[Swoop chirps sharply. Wheeljack was going to give him a chance, which is more than he can say for the Autobots back home... or for Slag here. He's eager to prove that the Wrecker's confidence isn't misplaced.]

Me won't let down, Wheeljack. Dinobot's honor... and Wrecker's honor too.
