All right. I had enough nonsense to last me a lifetime.

Firstforged, Primus, a newborn Cybertron, glyphs -- it's all scrap. I'm offline and this is the Pit.

Although I gotta say, it's a lot less fiery and more fraggin' ridiculous than anything else.

I want a straight answer. Now.

[Depth Charge narrows his optics. Admittedly, he... could be wrong about this. He tries to make for a scan on Rampage's spark again.

And still, nothing.]

All right. This can get real simple, then, Lizard.

Talk to me about Primal and his gang of idiots.

And what assurance do I have you will not turn this information over to Megatron and his cohorts when the opportunity arises?

[batmanta]

You wouldn't be tellin' me anything I don't already know, most likely. Believe me -- Cheetor never knows when to shut his fraggin' mouth.

[herodecoded]

Yes, the feline is quite inclined towards revealing secrets.

Does not help that Primal is so permissive and soft! Or that sentimental rhinoceros fool Rhinox!

[batmanta]

Or Rattrap's complaining. I swear to the Pit, if I have to hear one more we're all gonna die line from him...

[Depth Charge snorts and folds his arms.]

Well. You're gonna hate what I gotta say next.

[herodecoded]

[His optics narrow.]

And what, pray tell, is that?

[batmanta]

Megatron cloned you. Split Rampage's spark and stuck it inside a blank protoform to make himself a perfectly loyal version of you.

Just thought you'd like to know.

...

[Give him a moment, he needs to mull this over.]

2/???

[herodecoded]

[Megatron took his likeness and cloned him?! He should have seen this coming, but...it made his sacrifice worthless. He begins shaking with rage.]

3/4

[herodecoded]

[His sacrifice meant NOTHING. Megatron was still out there, threatening existence itself and he could do nothing.He was trapped here, in this purgatory as Megatron fiddled with his likeness!

He couldn't hold it back, the Maximal released thunderous shout of rage, slamming his arm into the nearest wall.]

4/4

[It's only moments after heaving, stewing in his own fury does he respond.]

I should have known.

[batmanta]

That predictable?
