[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.

It is a bit chaotic around here isn't it?

Almost makes you wish for some... stability.

Almost.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Make me wish bots not so crazy.
Just wait. Someone gonna blow up half a Temple. Then me say, "Swoop told you so".

Still. No place really stable all the way. Always some crazy. Just usually less than this.

... Me, Swoop, no think me met you yet. Who you?

[deceptionshark]

Optimus Prime.

It has been a pleasure to meet you, Swoop.

You are a dinobot. How interesting.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Very growly for Optimus.

Uh-huh. Am Dinobot... interesting how? You know others?

[deceptionshark]

Alternate universes, you can never be sure who will turn up, hmm? Where I come from, the great Warlord Ratchet is the biggest threat to our galaxy.

As for you, yes. You are the flying one, am I correct?

[prettyfly4adinobot]

... Cranky old docbot is great warlord?
'Kay. Your world, craziest one me heard of yet.

Uh-huh. Am pteradon. Only Dinobot flier. Very good at, too.

[deceptionshark]

[Megatron sighs and shakes his head, the very picture of woe.]

To think Ratchet was once one of my most loyal friends. Such a betrayal is staggering. But enough about me, I am very curious about you. You strike me as a uniquely strong individual.

[Keeping the Dinobots that Megatron knows in mind here. Who knows, maybe he'll learn something useful.]

[prettyfly4adinobot]

[If only Swoop could take this seriously. As it stands, he has to cover his mouth to hide the laughing.]

Me sorry. Only Ratchet me know... [Snort] ... him maybe even older than actual dinosaurs. Would no be very great warlord.

[But... the compliment does get his attention. He perks up a little, chirping.]

Well. Me, Swoop pretty awesome, yes. Only not-Decepticon flier for long time, too. Help out Autobots when them have problems with him screamy-bot.

[deceptionshark]

Ah, dealing with Starscream. What an impressive feat.

[Unless it's his Starscream, than that's just sad.]

It sounds as if a great warrior such as yourself has much to be proud of.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Is impressive. Him way bigger than me. Of course, him gloater. Spend way too much time monologuing, too.

[Hey, it's not Swoop's fault your Starscream is so... himself.]

Me, Swoop, am pretty proud. Hopefully me add a few more accomplishments here.

[deceptionshark]

It takes a lot to build a name for one's self.

I wish you the greatest luck with that.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

[He chirps happily.] Thanks. You not so bad.

Even if you look awful lot like him Megatron.
