I offer a formal apology to Vector Prime and the rest of his brothers, as well as Blurr. I am aware that laws have not been officially made nor approved, but I cannot wait in the light of several criminals threatening to murder innocents and already maiming some of us -- have maimed and tortured others. This, I cannot abide by.

Prism, the A.I. responsible for attacking various victims in this place, including two of my crew members, you will be taken in. You may surrender or you will be taken by force.

Overlord, former general of Megatron, you will not hide. I will reclaim you as a prisoner, and you will be locked away -- for an eternity, as long as that is within my power. You are welcome to surrender, or you will be taken by force.

Jaguar, you have threatened the safety of all on this planet. This will not be tolerated. You may surrender or you will be taken by force.

There are several others under suspicion here due to their... colorful history. I suspect you will know who you are without requiring me to name you so publicly.

Ultra Magnus, out.



[PRIVATE TO: Elita One]

I have a request to ask of you, considering your skills. You are welcome to refuse, of course.

[PRIVATE TO: Blurr]

Blurr. Cheetor insists on going after Jaguar. I informed him to not approach without back-up. Would you accept following him for now?

[Video] apologies for the IDW icon - I don't have enough variety in my G1s OTL

[notyourblueangel]

Under suspicion, huh?

Gee, thanks.

[Video] no prob

[thehardway]

Thundercracker.

Considering the war crimes committed, you shouldn't be surprised.

[vandalization]

We've got a badass here, folks.

[thehardway]

I don't understand. Are you saying that I'm bad at this?

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Go get em, Sparky!

I'll go make a flag for you and everythin'.

[Video]

[thehardway]

A flag will not arrest these criminals, Wheeljack.

And it's Ultra Magnus, not Sparky. Do you... have trouble retaining key pieces of information?

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

[FINALLY someone's doing something about Prism! After that run-in Soundwave had with him, she'd been very careful about that thing...whatever it was. She'd never seen it.]

Oh gosh, we've been waiting for someone like you!

Go get him, Ultra Magnet!

[Video]

[thehardway]

A shame. But I am willing to take care of these lawbreakers.

It's Ultra Magnus, small human child.

[Audio]

[youhavebeenswindled]

My my! We're certainly going to be safe with you around.

All the scoundrels better watch out, am I right?

[Audio]

[thehardway]

That is the intention.

[ video ]

[bloodsporter]

Who's hiding?

So, Autobot. You and what army is going to take me prisoner?

[ video ]

[thehardway]

I will arrest you, back-up or none.

That is a fact.

voice;

[sciencetank]

You certainly don't waste time taking matters into your hands, do you, Commander?

voice;

[thehardway]

With lives on the line, I will not wait.

voice;

[thxforthememories]

You're... really going after Prism?

voice;

[thehardway]

Yes, absolutely.

[dinnerdate]

There are suspicious bots here? Like who?

[thehardway]

Most of the Decepticons, for example.

[Video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Hey, you're kind of missing someone, aren't you?

Ratchet? Eminent violator of the Tyrest Accord--you know, that thing in your name? And also, you know this handy little confession

[You're welcome.]

[Video]

[thehardway]

Actions concerning Ratchet will be appropriately dealt with. I hardly would place him amongst the likes of Overlord.

A personal grudge, Whirl?

Text; Sorry for the TL;DR

[raceme]

We have proofs of the several crimes that Prism committed here, once we were done planning a safe strategy we were going to arrest him. We could try it already. [Blurr still doesn't like the 'bait' strategy Soundwave suggested, and he was trying to find a different one.]

Overlod hurt a bot here, right? [He had heard a bit about it but not the details.] That is reason enough to arrest him but we would only be able to accuse him of the crimes committed in this planet.

Jaguar's Verbal intimidation it's a lowest charge for now. We do have recordings and evidence of the threats at least.

Those under suspicion; it can't go further than that. Sometimes the abuse of powers starts with a good intention. They haven't done anything wrong here yet, and while keeping and eye on them would be the best option, arresting any of them without proofs would be going against everything the law defends.

I am very aware of how hard that is. [Shockwave is here and he would like to arrest him too but Blurr knows he can't do that.]

[Private to Ultra Magnus only | Unhackable]

I could follow Cheetor without him noticing me and act as backup once or if he needs me

AUDIO; LOCKED

[thehardway]

I have evidence that Overlord tortured one of my crew members. [Again. He wasn't here for it, but he does feel ... responsible.]

I am more than aware that suspicions cannot go further than that, Blurr. But I do appreciate your inclination to mention that. I do not abuse power; I only uphold the law and keep order. That is it.

Cheetor is young and determined. I believe he probably already needs you.

[Video]

[winged_knight]

[Wing sits, conflicted, staring at his communicator for a long while. In the end he realizes if he does not offer the best of what his own values allow then he's certain to feel remiss later. This tells him all he needs to know.]

Ultra Magnus. I commend your desire to maintain peace in this realm. I wish to offer my aid in any way that I can by means of addressing the issues these individuals present. Foremostly Prism.

It's my hope that such things might be resolved without force. [Though from his tone, he has his doubts.] Or at least alternatively, through the use of limited or non-lethal force.

[Video]

[thehardway]

I take it Prism is another personal matter.

That would be nice, wouldn't it? [Magnus is doubtful, though.]

[Audio]

[neverputincharge]

Good to know somebodie's keepin' order.

[Audio]

[thehardway]

Someone has to. I refuse to let a chaotic location prevent us from doing anything about those who would torture and kill.

[Video] - private

[invisiblepinkboat]

Present. What did you have in mind?

[She won't bother with empty protestations that she wouldn't refuse, because there are always situations where that might happen. Even if it's unlikely.]

[Video] - private

[thehardway]

I need to learn more about Jaguar. I'm not convinced that Cheetor can handle him. I have nearly no information on Jaguar and I'd like to know how much of a threat he really is.

Are you able to gather intel?

[video]

[windyellow]

So these guys are the biggest threats here? Do we even have something like a prison here?

[video]

[thehardway]

Yes.

And yes.

[mccrane]

Should I consider this an order...sir?

[He's got the list, and you're on the committee. He just doesn't know who has authority over who, yet, and he doesn't know if he can trust you yet, either.]

[thehardway]

McCrane, isn't it?

Not as of yet. At this time, it might be best if Blurr delegated orders to you. I can't say that we've determined rank at this point in time.

[As in, he can't officially tell you what to do, though it'd be real nice if you did what he needed.]

voice;

[ex_dishonestly997]

So I seriously am on the law committee now.

Just for the record.

Anything I can do to ...help you?

voice;

[thehardway]

Right. I saw that. I'm still in... disbelief.

Though perhaps you can in some way.

[Audio]

[blue_reflection]

Excuse me, sir, but if I may, I would like to request information regarding how to identify these individuals you have mentioned.

I only recently arrived here, and am unfamiliar with anyone with such names.

[Audio]

[thehardway]

If you'd like, I can provide visuals on each of these criminals. Would that help?

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

[THIS LITTLE BASTARD IS CACKLING AT YOU FOR A GOOD, SOLID MINUTE]

Aww, Ultra DRAGnus. Still one Pituva comedian, I see.
