[Open][From the Junkpile][A political dispute]
[The video starts with Megatron. For this pronouncement, he has chosen a centralized location: The junk-pile, overlooking the Hub community center. He’s had something in mind since Elita made her inquiry a short while ago, and now seems as good a time as ever.]
The Firstforged have left.
They have made it clear that their own priority is to prepare this planet for Primus, which leaves the defense and planning of the Haven to us. If there will ever be a chance of getting home, it is in our hands.
It is time for us to begin building our own lives here.
I invite any who wish to discuss our future to join me at the Hub in one hour to--
Another speech, Lord Megatron? I’d say I’m surprised, but well … I’m not.
[The image of none other than Starscream pops up on the screen as Megatron’s own transmission is hijacked. Starscream’s image appears off to the side like the annoying commentary Megatron never wanted.]
So what lies will you be spreading to the public today?
[It takes Megatron a moment to recover, realizing that his transmission suddenly has an unwelcome guest.]
Starscream. If you want to come hear these supposed ‘lies’ then you know where to find me. It’s time we had someone capable of making speeches, after all.
[Starscream erupts into laughter.]
I will give you that one. You always did know how to talk big and draw a crowd. I remember being at the rallies. Little did we know just how deep your twisted viewpoints went back then.
My twisted viewpoints? [Megatron scoffs, unimpressed.] Of the two of us, it should be obvious who has the best interests of the Haven at heart...and who is merely making a grab for power. Tell, me, what have you done to make this world--or any other--better?
I’m not the one who preaches about a new world order when all you really want is to recondition everyone to be tools for you own amusement. No matter what you claim, you never had anyone’s best interests in mind. I know that for a fact.
[Megatron’s growl is dark, turning in the video to face the image of Starscream next to him.]
Then come prove it.
[Starscream matches Megatron's gaze with a smirk]
Gladly.
[He disconnects.]
[[OOC: Anyone is free to reply! Starscream and Megatron will both be responding to tags, which can be network or action. Those who show up to see what is happening will find a Starscream--coated completely in gold--fighting Megatron.]]

[He's all shiny and gold]
[video]

Lets just say, you don't want Megatron in charge. He stands for everything you should be against.
The fact that I know exactly what he's capable of gives me a grand advantage.
[And the gold stuff.]
[video]
Uh huh. Considering you don't know me, how do you know that what I stand for and what you think I should stand for are one in the same?
I'm going to need the facts from a non bias party.
[video]
And afterward, we can discuss any conflicting ideals.
[YES VOTE FOR HIM HE IS STRONG AND HAS A LOVELY SMIRK.]
[video]
[video]
And then what?
[video]
Though this is bound to be more entertaining, so I might have to look into getting a good seat.
[video]
At least until more than half the populace was denied a voice in those debates. As such, we came up with a new method.
It is a lot more fun, and when one's life is on the line? They tend to really think about what they're saying and why.
