[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.]]

[Okay, you lost him....WAIT. Wait, that is how it works for organics, isn't it? They have to eat other organics...]
No. No, I don't want to eat anyone. I simply want the opportunity to rise to my potential because of my merit, not my class or alternate mode.
[It did help that he was particularly strong, however.]

[She shrugs. Politics really aren't her thing, particularly since politics always seems stuffed full of jerks.]
And yeah, it's always fun when you get the speeches about how the strong should be able to do whatever they want because ethics don't apply when you can shoot someone in the face.

[He does draw the line at some point. The rich, for instance, didn't seem to have much to define them beyond their money. Once that was gone....well, they could enjoy living in the world they'd made for the poor.]
That's the sort of attitude that starts a war. [He should know. He started one.] How does the populace defend itself?
