[The video clicks on, showing Bulkhead. He's tired, but trying to hide it. Even if it's not working too well. There are a few moments of silence before he speaks up.]

This is Bulkhead, checking in. [If robots could sound out of breath, he certainly would. He also sounds a little tired.]

Some guy in a robe already filled me in on what's going on. Heh kind of strange to be back on Cybertron. [There's a slight sound of metal scraping against something solid, before he settles again.]

Ratchet, Optimus? Arcee, Bumblebee? Are you here?

Yeah, that sounds like Starscream. He was here, for a while.

[Interesting that Starscream somehow managed to go it on his own, in more than one universe. Of course, hers had clones to help.]

I suppose Starscream's all on his own?

But, you can call me Slipstream. I met your Wheeljack. He's not so bad, for an Autobot.

[neverputincharge]

Was, huh?

Far as I've seen he is. Not seen him with anybody from the 'cons, unless he was their prisoner.

[Video]

[dontasktrix]

Probably wandered right into the badlands thinking there couldn't be any threats to him there! [She's speculating.]

If he could manage leading a team of his own, I might just be impressed.

[neverputincharge]

Wouldn't be the first time he did. He led the Decepticons for a while, while Megatron was missing.

[Video]

[dontasktrix]

Sounds vaguely familiar. Figures a Megatron would find a way to put an end to that. It's an endurance issue.

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

Heh, now though they want him as a prisoner. Accordin' to Optimus anyway.

[dontasktrix]

Got one of those, too. What about the little yellow one, or the Cyber-ninja cycle-bot?

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

Little yellow one? [His Bee comes to mind, but Bee's not all that little, to him anyway.] Nope, we don't have a...Cyber-ninja cycle-bot.

[She knows some of their names. They call out in battle, or there's a caption in the local paper. What had Bulkhead said earlier?]

Bumblebee! Is he yellow? Does he sometimes have a human kid around?

[Not that she's a fan or anything, but she is genuinely curious about the differences - and similarities - between universes.]

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

Uh..yep, that's Bumblebee. Raf and him hang out all the time. [When there's not something going on, or if Raf's not walking on something.]

There are a few kid sidekicks running around here. What is the deal with the children? Do they help you blend on Earth or gather intel or something?

[There's got to be some strategic reason Autobots like human kids, right? Like, when they use teamwork and scrap.]
