Video [Origin in Alpha Trion's temple]

[scienderp]

[The video feed is turned on, focusing on the face of a large, white mech with a very distinctly... worried and concerned expression. Guys, guys he was just under several feet of ice guys how did this happen what is this even-]

I have learned a few things from the ah... acolytes within this temple, but I have more questions for those who have been brought here.

My name is Skyfire, is there anyone here who would recognize that name?

[He's not going to mention any names specifically, but there's a definite hopeful lift to his tone.]

I'm looking for any other Autobots there may be out there as well... Even if I do not know you now, I would still like to learn more about you. It isn't necessary of course, but... it seems only right that we all get to know each other.

[Mirage is still quite suspicious of the bots from universes he doesn't recognize, but he'll at least open up Audio on this one.]

...Skyfire. Do you have any relation to the one called Jetfire?

[He'd been told about Jetfire's sacrifice in Egypt, and his side switch to the Autobots...

Could this one be close?]

You do not appear similar. But I am being rude.

Buongiorno.

Video

[scienderp]

I fear I have never heard of a mech by the name of Jetfire. I'm sorry...

[The Italian seems to have him confused. He doesn't have Italian on his register of languages!]

But still, it is a pleasure to meet you. What is your designation, if you do not mind my asking?

Audio

[perfavore]

[Oh, that was slightly depressing. He gives a slight sigh, hoping there would be SOMEONE he could relate to. But no matter.]

My apologies.

[There's slight hesitation, and it seems like he almost refrains from speaking...]

Mirage.

[Video]

[angleofscience]

[It'll be okay! Let's be confused over something else instead!

Jetfire stared mostly before he activated the feed on his end, wondering if this was the mech Perceptor had thought he was. He could... ah, definitely see the... resemblance. The expression Jetfire has when the video comes on is collected, though this being the first time he's going to meet (or talk to, rather) an alternate instead of merely hearing about them...

He's definitely somewhat excited.]

One mech I just spoke to a little while ago, Perceptor, thought I was you. I can see why.

[Tiny, amused smile. This is so odd now that it's him on this end, instead of, say Starscream.]

[Video]

[scienderp]

[Oh yes this is much better, he would much rather be confused about this. He looks completely perplexed, peering at the video in surprise. That's... Well it wasn't him exactly, but Primus it was close. Confused, yes. But someone else is starting to get a little excited too.]

Perceptor? Perceptor is here? That is wonderful news! Is he well? ... Ah, excuse me, I should be asking about you as well.

You ah... What is your name?

[Video]

[angleofscience]

He was being attacked by... a very large spider I think, but got help in time. He seemed fine when I talked to him, which wasn't very long ago at all.

[He tilts his helm, wondering now in earnest why they don't actually share a designation, even if there apparently is, going by the conversation with Mirage, a "Jetfire" in another dimension.]

Jetfire. It seems... somehow, that despite seeimingly being alternates, we do not share a designation. Which, previously others who have had alternates appearing here have done, curiously enough.

[Frowning, Jetfire rubbed his chin.]

And with the reasonably wide variety in designs across four discrete dimensions of these alternates, I don't think the aesthetic design could explain why we aren't sharing a name...

[Video]

[raceme]

[It's called defrosting Skyfire.]

Pleasure to meet you sir Skyfire sir I am B-L-U-R-R member of the Elite Guard an intelligence gathering body that exists within the Autobot fraction.

I'm afraid I am not familiar with you But feel free to ask me all the questions.

[Video]

[scienderp]

[Defrosting is confusing. And he's still got ice on his wings, it sucks]

Blurr, it is a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for contacting me.

I cannot say I am familiar with your name either, however I am sure that we will get along.

Do you know how this rift managed to transport me, but not the ah... the debris that I was under?

[Video]

[raceme]

[You might need help with that, otherwise people will think it's snowing if you fly over them.

And you are a polite one, that is so refreshing.] You are welcome sir I think we should help each other if we can get things done and oh there's so much to do here.

It appears to be an uns-ta-ble rift and acts at random We can't never be sure what will bring to this world or when. Debris?

[MYSTERIOUS VOICE]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Why would I want to get to know you?

[Suspicious!Whirl is suspicious]

[Perma video!]

[scienderp]

Well if you do not wish to, you do not have to, but if you are an Autobot, it is best that we know each other. We... should remain knowledgeable of each other, if anything.

[Perma SULTRY VOICE !]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Yeah, that's a hell of a question: is he an Autobot? ]

Why? You an Autobot? [Because he doesn't see an Autobot insignia.]

[Video] i wasnt going to start tagging thinngs until later, but ...

[aerospacecommander]

Okay, who is cloning people this time?

[Video]Hello babby

[scienderp]

Starscream?

[He almost sounds excited, but then he pauses]

Ah... cloning? I don't understand.

[Video] <3

[aerospacecommander]

Why else would there be a mech who looks like Jetfire but has a different name?

Besides, Shockwave had an obvious cloning fetish.

But why he'd clone you, I don't know.

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

[You know, normally Teddie would have ignored this seeing as it has nothing to do with him. And yet, by some divine force, he feels drawn to the video. Like some sort of calling.

Maybe Mirage should shut his big Italian mouth.]

If there's autobots, does that mean there's manualbots, too?

[Video]

[scienderp]

Hm?

[It takes him a second to get it]

Ah, no not like that. I would assume that the Auto in Autobot does not stand for automatic.

[There's a long pause]

You ah... I have not seen anyone quite like you before.

VIDEO;

[inferiordude]

I've heard th' name a few times, sure! And there's a few Autobots. I take it, um. You don't wanna know about the Decepticons, dude?

VIDEO;

[scienderp]

[Wait aren't you Soundwave? Why are you... but you don't talk to him. You never talk to him. You're Soundwave. Soundwave doesn't use the word dude what the hell is going on here-

It takes a moment, but he answers slowly, clearly confused]

.... Soundwave?

Er well... I haven't had the best history with Decepticons, as it were.

Alternate dimensions are interesting aren't they?

I wonder if there's an alternate me out there somewhere.

Video

[scienderp]

They're fascinating, I've met so many interesting people already and I haven't even been here a day yet.

Perhaps there are alternate versions of all of us somewhere. The possibilities are endless.

[audio]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

The only Skyfire I am familiar with is that of a ship. Belonged to some, uh, very "interesting" Auto [yeah that doesn't feel too right the Dinobots are sorta a league of their own h-haha]... bots. I... have a feeling you are not aforementioned ship, however.

[audio]

[scienderp]

No, I am not, though it's interesting to hear that a ship would bear my name. I'm sure it's nothing more than a coincidence.

I don't believe I have heard your voice before. Who might you be?

[Video] all the late... whoops, sorry bb dis okay?

[a_father_to_his_men]

I do not know of anyone with the name Skyfire, I do apologize for that. It would also seem you do not come from my own universe all together if what I am seeing indicates properly.

I hazard to guess we are from universes with reverse polarities to one another. What I have learned of this is that this causes a polar opposite personality among those with whom we share designations in other polarity universes.

[Video] ;3;

[scienderp]

[Wow that was a lot to take in all in one go. There's some silence from his end as he takes a moment to process all that, looking completely surprised, before he even hazards an attempt to respond.]

A.... reverse polarity universe? That sounds.... absolutely fascinating, I'd like to know more about it. Er....

I am to guess that you are-

[Striking a very strong resemblance to only a lot less angry sounding-]

Megatron?

[Can't mistake the face of the guy you hurled head first into a snow drift]
