[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?

[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?

Apparently. I don't know much more about 'em.

Suppose so.

No problem. We were in Japan, mainly. I was made in America, but I was shipped to Japan shortly after my construction was done.

I cannot say I saw many American-made bots in the ring in Japan, when I was home last. I am glad to not be the only one that lived in Japan, here.

[Or the only one from Earth for that matter.]

Well, I didn't box or wrestle, if that's what you mean.

I am starting to get the feeling that I am the only boxing bot here.

[On the plus side you know what it is already.]

[engrishdetective]

On the bright side, that makes you really unique. And when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, I wouldn't wanna mess with you.

[wakizashi_straight]

That is kind of you to say. With the proper handler, I am a killer in the ring.
