[The video is only on for a few moments - long enough to show a purple bot with wide shoulders, a samurai helmet, and glowing yellow optics - before shutting off. After that is a burst of text.]

Many of you exceed WRB height restrictions. You also violate a number of other WRB regulations, including illegal use of weapons and possession non-standard upgrades.

I am not where I should be.

[He would just like to let you all know YOU ARE SO ILLEGAL. SO. ILLEGAL now down to a few extra messages-]

If anyone happens to see Charlie Kenton I would like to be informed. He is a human with short, dark hair and brown eyes. He also has a son, Max. I do not wish them to be alone with unfamiliar bots if they come here.

Gunmax. Thank you for the ride, when we arrived. It was kind of you.

To the bot with the fins on his head: My name is Noisy Boy. 'Soundwave' is a terrible name.

And there was a red and white bot. I apologize if I fightened you somehow.

Hey, Noisy Boy! Glad you're all right. You just let me know if you need a lift anywhere else, okay?

Did anyone explain this ... weird Cybertron thing for you yet?

TEXT;

[wakizashi_straight]

I will. Thank you.

No. All I know is that the stars here are not like anywhere I have been before.

Sheesh, that was unhelpful of the big guys for you. All right, I'll try to summarize.

We're far away from Earth. According to Megatronus Prime, we're here because of that light in the sky, which is more like a slice in space and time. This planet we're on is called Cybertron. A lot of the people here are from a different version of Cybertron, apparently, which would be most of the other robots here.

The symbol on my arm and yours are apparently glyphs that symbolize one of the Primes here. I don't know what it actually means other than that.

Hopefully, that helps you out a bit. I don't know when we're getting back to Earth, but my team and I are working on it. I promise to bring you with us, all right?

So the similarity in their designs is not due to having the same designers, but being from the same Cybertron? Curious. [Though at least it explains those unfortunate naming conventions he's been hearing.]

One of them, Solus, called the one whose home I am currently staying in. It could have something to do with the symbol.

Thank you. That is a generous offer. Where on Earth is your team from?

[sparkless]

Oh yeah? Well, your face exceeds ugly regulations.

[wakizashi_straight]

Your insulting ability is poor.

[sparkless]

Like you could do any better. [He thought it was super funny.]

[patokichi]

Oh! You are a friend of Gunmax's?

[Text]

[wakizashi_straight]

He helped me when we arrived. You know him?

[patokichi]

Yes. He's my partner. Nice to hear he's been making friends with people.

Points for originality.

Gotta admit I was close with the whole 'sound' and 'noisy' thing.

[Text]

[wakizashi_straight]

You were closer when you guessed my creators.

But you did well.

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

So humans built you, huh? And...rules? You in some kind of gladiator fighting?

[sword_redemption]

[Violate? What are you, Ultra Magnus?]

You forgot the Tyrest Accord.

[It's supposed to be a joke. Yeah, not really comedian material.]

And none of us are where we should be.

[text]

[wakizashi_straight]

... What is the Tyrest Accord?

[Confuuuuuused.]

So it would seem. Unfortunate.

[video]

[sword_redemption]

[Oh, right. Not everyone's heard of it. At length. From Ultra Magnus. All the time.]

It's the rule covering not letting Cybertronian technology fall into the wrong hands.

[Like...any hands.]

It doesn't have to be unfortunate, though.

[Noiiiiiisy Blurr has been looking for you. Ironically, he didn't checked the temple of the FirstForged he's assigned too, who just happens to be Vector.]

Ohhereyouare! I returned to the junk pile to see if I could find you again but with all the FirstFordged around the place was rather cha-o-tic but I'm glad to see you are fine too.

[All that was said in a frantic rush, he's happy to see you man.]....what's WRB?

[Text] and akdhdks that icon is so cute

[wakizashi_straight]

The World Robot Boxing league. You do not know it?

[But everyone knows the WRB. Also hey, he figured out those symbols! Sort of.]

What are FirstForged?

Ahahaha thanks! Blurr's a derp when he's happy..which doesn't happen often enough.

[raceme]

I can't say I did, no. WHATisboxing?

[Not in Cybertron~ Blurr figured them out completely, he will fill him in.]

The FirstForged are that group of larger mechs that appeared approximately one hour or so after we all woke up int eh junk pile some of them are really big or can fly AND they are the first created by Primu's hand a really really really important mech our creator our GOD.

Ho-we-ver as strong as they are they are not going to hurt us even if sir Megatronus looks a bit shady to me but perhaps I just caught him having a bad day in fact they are the ones that can gave us shelter and sustenance.

DO YOU remember our conversation well I was the only one talking but still counts about those marks in our body that wasn't there before?

[invisiblepinkboat]

Exceed the regulations of what? How are we supposed to break rules that don't even apply to us?

[Elita tilts her helm, mostly amused and curious about this whole message rather than annoyed.]

[Text]

[wakizashi_straight]

The World Robot Boxing league's height regulations state that bots cannot be taller than 8'6". As well, they cannot possess weaponry.

But I am beginning to think that I am the only boxing bot here.

[Which is so confusing for him. He didn't think there were other kinds before he got here.]

[Video]

[invisiblepinkboat]

... If you're from Earth, it seems so, unless... Ah, no. The other robot I talked to from Earth seemed to be based on a construction vehicle. You don't have any particular alternate mode, do you?

[She stifles the smile that's threatening to break out as she speaks, because being worried about regulations..?]

I don't think there's any need to worry about those regulations, however. Most of us aren't from Earth, so, they wouldn't apply.

[my_own_trope]

WRB? What is that?

[Perma-text]

[wakizashi_straight]

The World Robot Boxing league. You do not know of it?

[my_own_trope]

Why don't you tell all me about it.
