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.

Well considering that I live with him, I'd rather hope he came back, but.

[aerospacecommander]

You're probably better off without him. You might not end up at the wrong end of a science experiment this way.

[redshirtrobot]

There's no logic in experimenting on a loyal soldier. When you do you either end up with a dead soldier or a soldier that wants to kill you, which is a decidedly worse position than leaving them unmolested. As it were.

[He may have rehearsed this speech slightly too much.]

Besides, I was better off with him because he liked me and had a cannon for an arm.

[aerospacecommander]

Well Shockwave tends to experiment on anyone who is close enough for him to grab a hold.

But suit yourself.

[redshirtrobot]

Yours might. Neither of the ones I knew would, though. It would be too illogical, unless like. Megatron ordered them to, or something.

[aerospacecommander]

You'd be surprised what Shockwave would actually do in the name of science.

[redshirtrobot]

Well. It's not like it matters anyway. The one I lived with is gone and the other one can probably find better experimentation material if he needs it.

[aerospacecommander]

Maybe next time you'll choose a better roommate.

[redshirtrobot]

How did I have a bad roommate? Half of the people that have showed up here have disappeared.
