So, I. I don't know how many people knew him, but I figured I might as well say something.

Shockwave - the big one - and his Driller have been missing. Sometimes they'd just go off on their own but usually not for this long. And I've looked everywhere. So I'm gonna call it.

They're. Gone.

[He pauses for a long moment before speaking again.]

I'll still be at Megatronus's temple to look after their things, until Megatronus makes me leave.

He was involved in the sabotaging of Elite Guard property. Yes, there was solid evidence before you ask. Seeing as he turned himself in, along with being caught on camera.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know it had nothing to do with his background and frame type.

Frame-type disputes are mostly... airframes versus groundframes anyway. Sorry it ended like that for him, anyway. I hope things eventually work out for him.

Autobots can't fly, so it's a big different for us. He was pretty big.

[shrug] Seemed happy last time I saw him. Got to stay with his friend who dropped out with him for the same reason, too. So yeah, I'd say things worked out for him. Space bridge expert my aft...

Clearly you've never seen Optimus Prime with a jet pack.

... an expert of space bridges? Really? That's pretty impressive.

Re: [video]

[primest]

Fortunately not.

Not an expert, the expert - apparently he somehow managed to get himself up to the most knowledgeable past Autobot scientists.

And Decepticon ones; that technology was lost on my world until Shockwave - the one that's still here - managed to reverse-engineer it.

Re: [video]

What have the Decepticons ever done with space bridge tech other than use it to wage war?

[redshirtrobot]

Considering that we're still in the middle of our war I don't know what you'd expect either side to use it for besides that right now.

Re: [video]

If the spacebridge nexus on Cybertron was rendered unusable, then I would've imagined any space bridge tech would be kept as a high priority and use-only in emergencies deal.

Y'know, cause if you're at war you can't really afford to waste energon on powering them like that.

It wasn't unusable, it was completely lost. And as far as I know there was never really a nexus, they were just independent structures.

Of course I was never part of a space bridge or ground bridge crew so I don't actually know how they function.
