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?

Most of the Decepticons, for example.

Most, but not all?

Correct. Why?

Just wondering... You have an exact list?

Of course I do.

Are you concerned about being on the list?

[Yes.]

No. Just want to know who to avoid. Prolong the fact that we're all going to die here... And starve.

We're not going to starve and die.

I will not disclose the list to a civilian.

... We're all going to starve and die, or be murdered. Horribly.

Starving will not happen. Murder will be prevented to the best of my ability.

You have a very... interesting perspective on things.

Maybe not to you, but some of us won't be so lucky.

War, no war, we're all just food for rust in the end... It's a sensible perspective, stops you from doing something dumb. Like being hopeful.

I do not hope. I keep a normal perspective. Though you seem to be expecting the worst consistently.

Because I know what happens when I expect differently.

There's no way I could get a list?

That is. Hm. Perhaps you should speak to Rung sometime.

No way at all.

Who?

...Some protecting you're doing.

He gets that a lot.

By not giving you a list of names. Allow me to put this in a matter of perspective: I have a list of names of those I am suspicious of. Those that may or may not commit crimes. Those I am wary of. If I were to submit a list to anyone who requests, what if they decide to take the law into their own hands? What if they hurt or kill the people on my list?

And what if those people in my list ended up being innocents, despite my suspicions?

So no. You are not getting it. This is a delicate matter.
