[Video -> Text] [Transmission Originating From: Vectorian Sector]

[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.

Do these Decepticons see it the same way that you do?

[At least what he does has rules. They make all the difference to him.]

Why does he need explosives?

it is evil, I swear ↖('` ◣ ﹏◢)Ψ

[raceme]

[Blurr snorts but there's no amusement in his voice.]If only.

[We have rules too! The first one is: Don't die. The second is: kill the bad guys. Those are easy to remember, not so easy to follow.]

For science.

But so, so pretty when it works out

[wakizashi_straight]

Then your fight is not really over, is it?

[The difference here is that once the final bell rings, their fights are over. And unless it's the Underground, bots are rarely destroyed.]

Science requires explosions? That seems dangerous.

Oh those presious moments

[raceme]

No is not and I doubt it will be over anytime soon in fact it was going to get worse when I died ...and it was my fault I failed my mission....

[Tell that to Midas.]

Sometimes yes it depends on the sort of science you are trying to practice much like technology BUT I'm sure Wheeljack knows what he's doing do not concern yourself it will be alright.

Those moments when everything turns out so pretty

[wakizashi_straight]

You died?

[He's never said anything to Midas. Bot has anger issues.]

I hope you are right. I would not want things exploding that should not.

Those should happen more often

[raceme]

I believe so yes I 'm quite sure I did ALL got a bit confusing at some point. [More exactly the point where the two walls met and his processor got crushed.] I had to warn Ultra Magnus and the rest of the council about the double agent infiltrated in our ranks and that the Decepticons were preparing to launch an attack on Cybertron not this Cybertron of course THE one where I came from but unfortunatelly I was caught off guard by Shockwave who was using the disguise of Logarm prime to trick us.

[Damn right Midas does, I wonder why.]

I...[Well no one exactly asked him if he's alright. Ratchet gave him a check up , so he's physicallyalright.]..I'm fully operative again.

Neither do I trust me.

They really should.

[wakizashi_straight]

I am sorry but I did not understand most of that. [That is way too many concepts - and names - he's unfamiliar with. Though at least the names are better than some he's heard.] But I am glad you are functional again. It would be unfortunate if you were not.

[He's been there. Not fun.]

Yup

[raceme]

It's okay I get that often and after all I'm talking about something that shouldn't worry you so it's fine.

...Thank you Noisy. [Aww.] And what about you? can you tell me more about you world?

[wakizashi_straight]

I do not like seeing other bots scrapped or nonfunctional.

[It looks too much like the fate he's been waiting on.]

I know of little beyond boxing. Politics do not interest me. But I have traveled more than other bots.

[raceme]

Neither do I trust em on that I ALREADY saw it too many times in the past while at war.

[Let's hope that doesn't happen here.]

Oh I did that too where did you go?

[wakizashi_straight]

Many of my matches were in Japan - especially Japan - and America. But the last two years have been spent in Brazil, England, Switzerland, Korea, and my homeland.

[raceme]

Brazil? I never been to Brazil or England, Switzerland, Korea and Japan, but I've heard about those more often than I've heard about Brazil. How it was?

[wakizashi_straight]

I liked them. They were nice places. Especially Brazil and Japan. I did not see much outside of fight venues, though.

[No call for him to go walking around the cities. Except for Tokyo, but that was home and they. Really like him there.]

[raceme]

No that's a shame YOU don't like being outside?

[Aww that sucks, being outside is what Blurr enjoys the most.]

[wakizashi_straight]

It is not that I do not like being outside, but I did not have much chance to. Not during the day.

[At night though he was out a lot.]

[raceme]

Whynot? Does the daylight affect your function maybe?

[wakizashi_straight]

No. If I was online during the day it was for training, so I stayed in the gym.

[raceme]

No offense but it sounds to me like you was a bit of a slave. [And he doesn't like that idea AT ALL.]

[wakizashi_straight]

A slave? [He's familiar with the concept, in theory, but he's never heard it used to describe him.] I was built to perform a specific function. It is slavery to do what one was created to do?

[raceme]

But you are not just a mindless machine you are a sentient being and all of them should have free will EITHER they have a purpose or not. It's just as much about freedom of mind as it is about freedom of action WAS you ever stopped to do something you wanted because the humans you belonged to didn't want you to do it? I would say that not being able to walk out during daylight counts as that.

[wakizashi_straight]

But I did not want to. With my fights occurring at night my battery needed to recharge sometime, and repairs and training are important. All I have ever wanted was to fight, and everything else is the path to my bouts.

You compare my profession to war and my position to slavery, without understanding them.

[raceme]

I just never met any individual like you before.

[Also his first human contact was less than stellar, he was forced to do things against his will because Master Disaster was controlling him. Blurr looks rather uncomfortable right now.] And once you won the fight then what? Morefights?

[wakizashi_straight]

I am not that unusual, where I am from. [Not anymore really; the Brazilian league had fully embraced his voice recognition software and uploaded it into most of their bots.]

Repairs, and then training, and the next fight at a new venue. Sometimes my handlers would be interviewed by the press while I posed for pictures, or I would meet some of my fans.

[raceme]

"I am going to accept that this is one of those Earth thing is can not fully comprehend Did you say the press? You must be really important then."

[wakizashi_straight]

The press, yes. And I am, or was. I was the first bot made by designer Tak Mashido to make it to a championship fight, and one of the best-known Japanese bots in the world.
