[Well that was the… oddest thing he’s woken up to in a while. He doesn’t usually wake up on an alter with robbed figures standing around apologizing for him being somewhere. A different Cybertron? Different how? That sounds impossible. He only waited around long enough for what they said to get boring and then he left. Now he has to figure out how to work this thingy he has. Hrm… what does this do…?]

Skylynx? Are you here, Skylynx?

[The sound of one claw tapping on the Link comes through before the video flicks on, showing bright yellow optics and a lean face crowned with horns. Those optics blink a couple times as the owner of the Link leans back slightly.]

I am trying to find my brethren, Skylynx. He is silver and blue, with red accents, and is about my height. [He pauses, snickering.] But he is not nearly as pretty as I am.

If you have seen him in his other form, I am sure you know. Tell him that Darksteel wishes to find him.
Skylynx if you hear this, I am coming to find you.

[He shuts off his Link and shortly after something that looks remarkably like a robotic gryphon can be seen flying out from Vector’s temple, in a spiral that becomes increasingly wide until it ceases all together. He can’t help it if he’s catching sight of things he’s curious about. What is all of this, he’s never seen a Cybertron like this one. His is certainly less… new than this one.]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

We are from ancient times, where I am from. Our kind went extinct long ago.

[Funny, Darksteel, you seem plenty alive.]

Some of the others have mentioned humans! You are... organic and from Earth?

Oh. That sounds boring. Prison, I mean. There are... no other methods for punishing people for breaking the rules?

[Because if that's it, policing sounds boring all around. Not that hunting for bones was ever particularly thrilling, but still.]

Well... Aren't you?

...but you're alive now.

Yeah, I'm from Earth and...mostly organic.

Not here, no. The worse your crime, the longer you stay locked up.

[His head ducks, but the corner of his mouth twitches a little.]

... My friend always thought so.

That's great! I should mention that I'm very, very small, so you'll have to be careful or you'll crush me.

Ooh. Well most people are smaller than us. We are very large.

... How small are you?

Have you considered something else? Will you not run out of space if lots of people break the rules?
... Or if someone is very large?

[Darksteel grins and practically chirps.]

Then that makes two of us, and two of us cannot be wrong!

Shockwave cloned us from the bones of our ancestors. There are only three of us though.

Mostly organic. So you are... partially robotic?

... Wait, he used to shock you?

[She frowns slightly. Yeah, you may not be her kind of Predacon, but you're still a Predacon damn it. Starscream is just asking for more trouble from her.]

Burn Starscream all you want. But, I wouldn't suggest chewing on him. You don't know where the whiny walking bucket of bolts has been. He might be diseased or something.

[Or on a very bad drug trip.]

And yeah, our two kinds of Predacons sound like they're pretty different. It'll be interesting comparing the differences.

Vector's. That's one I've yet to hear about. I'm aligned with Prima and I've been told of Solus's. I believe there is a medical bay there.

[A small cast eye down to his wounds.]

I pray it is not a long walk.

I have not heard of either of those.

[Oh. Oh wait he knows the answer to this one.]

Give me a close landmark, I can find you! I am very quick, it will not take me long.

When we did something he did not like, yes. He had a prod. He... did not like most of what we did.

[Hey, he's not going to stick up for the guy. Starscream sucks. He belongs in a horrible situation.]

Well. So long as I can light him on fire I will not chew on him. He is fun to play with even if I cannot eat him.

[He can make the drug trip worse through Paw Juggling.]

We shall see. I must find Skylynx first, though.

... I think I may have to have a few words with the moron.

[Preferably with explosions.]

Then have all the fun you want. The slag sucker deserves it.

Yeah, you do that and when you do let me know. I want to meet both of you.

[Give him a moment to look around, Darksteel. Although it's not long before his eyes settle on one that might be a little TOO helpful.]

Follow the light. I'm by what looks to be a tower that can glow for miles.

Clones...

[He didn't think that possible.]

Yeah...you could say I was made in a way--like you.

I... don't know. I'm not the one in charge of it. McCrane is -- he's an AI like I am.

[Wow those are actually good questions and did he just chirp.]

No. I guess I can't argue with two of you.

Yep! I do not understand the whole process, though. You would have to ask him.

[Admittedly, it is pretty ridiculous.]

Huh. No one said anything about organics being made with robotic parts before. Interesting!

Huh. Well, if I meet him I will ask him. That seems like it would be important.

[Chirping ancient dinosaur-gryphon-dragon-robots. What is this planet coming to?]

Excellent! And I am sure that Skylynx will agree when I find him, so then it will be three of us.

[Darksteel chuckles.]

Just leave enough for the rest of us. We did not get to finish playing with him and there will probably be a line of others that want to, too.

[Starscream is bad at making friends... or making People That Don't Want To Kill Him, anyway.]

'Kay. After I find Skylynx I will contact you on this... thingy.

Look for the bright light. Got it. I will be there soon!

[At least it will be easy for him to find to get there. He shuts off the Link before transforming and taking to the sky. Time to find him a yellow guy!]

I think I'll try to...

[He's not sure of the ethical implications of cloning robots, let alone the logical implications.]

Yeah...guess you could call it interesting.

You should, yes. He's smart... if he doesn't already know, he'll figure something out.

You're ganging up on me now, yes?

I will! What does he look like, so I know him if I see him?

[Because it would be really bad to start off the conversation after pouncing on McCrane, probably.]

Only a little, to make sure you know you are nice.

Good! I hope you can get him to talk, he can be very terse sometimes.

[Shockdad is quiet but hopefully won't be too tight-lipped.]

Well. It is interesting because you are the first organic I have met.

His plating is purple. And yellow. His alternate mode is a crane, and his optics are green. As mine is.

[Well, one of them, anyway.]

All right. I can accept that.
