[It's not really Bulk's thing to do something like this. But after at least one reported freak out over the Glyphs changing, it feels like something needed to be done.]

Alright, usually not my thing. But some explainin' is in order over the Glyphs we all have.

First off, even having a glyph is a good thing. If you didn't have one, you'd currently be turnin' into a crazy, mindless monster. Having gone through seeing this personally with a close friend from home? I would rather never see it again. The glyphs also give you some protection from the badlands, where Unicron's in control there, and glyphless seem to go.

Their changing? It normal. It happens every couple of months. Better to get used to it, cause it happens. What's the changes mean? Means the FirstForged liked something they saw you doin'. The outlines? Means some how you drew the attention of a Forged besides the one you're aligned to. Each different color means which Forged

Alpha Trion's magenta
Liege Maximo is green
Megatronus Prime is black
Nexus Prime is blue
Prima is white
Solus Prime is violet
And Vector Prime is gold

I personally am aligned with Solus and Nexus. [He shifts to show his own glyph, which is more ornate than a normal glyph, but it's still a violet glyph with a strong blue outline around it. It's also a third larger, and has a violet glow around it. He shifts back to talk to the camera.]

And yeah, sometimes the glyphs change entirely, and you'll find yourself with another Forged. Sometimes they just grow brighter, or even get bigger in size.

But like I said, it's normal, it's somethin' that happens here. Got any other questions, I've been here over a year and a half, so I might have answers.

[With that he cuts the feed.]

I can't speak for Liege, but Megatronus?...stay away from him. He's closer to bunnies than apo-

[No, he's not talking VORPAL bunnies, and yes, you DO know those Earth words, TC.]

...apocalypse than bunnies. He doesn't overly care about any of us, he's volatile and powerful, and . . . just not to be trusted.

That said, Bulkhead's right. The Glyphs are essential. They protect you from going murderously insane. And, no, I'm not exaggerating. We've had it happen already before. To my knowledge, the First-Forged won't really bother you unless you go bother them first. [Or do something ROYALLY impressive or to ROYALLY screw up, but that takes enough that he's not even going to bother mentioning it.]

[And he's back far enough from the camera that both shoulders are visible. On his right shoulder is a giant-robot-sized plastic sheriff's badge ~~don't laugh, it was your buddy McCrane who gave it to him~~ denoting him a member of the Police Force, and on the other . . . a large magenta Glyph with a strong black outline and a magenta glow around it.]

[OH FUCK IT'S THE POLICE- oh wait]

Yeah, I get that having the stupid things is important. I kind of like not being insane. Just kinda wish I knew how I was attracting the big bad, know what I'm sayin'? Like, what'd you do? You got black in yours, right? Or am I seein' it wrong?

[Thundercracker's wing TWITCH and he scowls...looking away so Gunmax won't think he's upset at /him/.]

No. You're seeing it right. My First-Forged is Alpha Trion, but . . . somehow, for some reason, Megatronus thinks he has some kind of claim on me too. Or . . . frag, maybe he doesn't even know.

I asked Alpha Trion how the Glyphs work. I wanted to know how to get rid of Megatronus's influence. He said that . . . he doesn't know. Even they don't know exactly how the Glyphs work. The fact that we get them, and the changes they go through, isn't something the First-Forged actually do to us. Though it does tie us to them. Just that he didn't know exactly how or why. Just that they protect us from the Badlands influence. And apparently can grant abilities related to the First-Forged you're bound to.

[Gunmax probably wouldn't have even cared if Thundercracker was upset at him. he kind of goes out of his way sometimes to piss people off, after all.]

So even the big guys don't know. That doesn't really help.

I mean, if I can get cool super powers out of this or something, that's awesome, but I'd rather have some control over all this.

Wouldn't we all? [Oh so wry. But he does agree.]

Tch, this is frustrating. I feel like an experiment or something.

[That draws another scowl, again not AT Gunmax.]

No, if you were someone's experiment, trust me –you'd know.
