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

[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.

[headgames]

Seen birds smarter than you, so I wouldn't rule it out.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Why you care what me know or don't anyway? Not making things for you.

[headgames]

Everyone seems to be playing into your little Dinobot delusion. You're giving us a bad name.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Then you talk to them. Meanwhile, me going to do something nice for friend, then save day.

[headgames]

You save the day?

[Yeah, he doesn't think so.]

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Uh-huh. Am Wrecker too. Gonna help catch him Tarn.

[And it's going to be awesome.]

[headgames]

Two teams?

[Grunt.]

You really are trying to give us a bad name.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Them no think me give them bad name, so joined them.

Are maybe better teammates than you not-Snarl.

[headgames]

It's Slag.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

You call me not-Dinobot, me call you not-Snarl.

Is only fair.

[headgames]

Real Dinobots wouldn't be on two teams.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

How you know? You not real Dinobot.

[headgames]

[Swoop, this is why he tries to hit you so much.]

You're the fake one here.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

[You're the one that started it, Slag.]

You fake, me fake, we all fake because is wrong world. Dummy.

[headgames]

[Not the point.]

One where you still shouldn't be on two teams.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Is new world. Can be on two teams if me want. You no can do anything about.

[headgames]

Doesn't mean you should. It won't do you any good.

[Only Dinobots look out for Dinobots. Everyone else. Well, he's never had that many good experiences.]

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Never know until try. Him Wheeljack seem decent, and Autobots help Dinobots before.

[When they were in worse straights than they could handle. Swoop would readily admit to that, really.]

Besides, no have to argue what me, Swoop am or not with Wreckers all the time.

[headgames]

They only want help when they can't do things themselves, otherwise they want you gone.

Being a Wrecker is a scrap idea.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Them not like that. Them care. At least not act like Swoop wrong just because me from different world than them.

Just wait. Me save day and prove you wrong about me.

[headgames]

It'll change. Dinobots are outcasts, always will be.

Or prove me right.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Not outcasts unless us choose to be. Whatever other bots say.

Nope.

[headgames]

Try and fit in if you want, won't last.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

And if it don't, what? Me stuck with you? No thanks.

[headgames]

You think I want to be stuck with you.

[Grunts.]
