Er, so. This looks kinda like Cybertron. Woo, I made it back. Points for me, I guess.
But things are looking kind of. Weird. And I woke up in this pile of scrap.
And there's this... what do you call this? Frequency? Um. Who am I contacting?
Weak Anthropic Principle, can you hear me? Anyone?
Uh, I'll even take Grimlock?

Lucky for us you didn't explode on contact. Welcome to Cybertron, nothing's going to be asked of you, try not to kill any Autobots. [a beat.] And if any of them try to kill you, tell me.
video;
...Nothing? No orders? Are you serious?
Right, no. Of course not. War's over, so no shootie-shootie. I get you.
Um. Thank you, sir. [Wow, that's not what he was expecting.]

frieassociates can't seem to help it.And occasionally he can't seem to help it, either.He tilts his head.]
...Something wrong?
video;
Uh. No, I. I guess not. Short of all the weirdness going on now, I just didn't expect you to... forgive me for being blunt, but I didn't think you'd give a damn about a nobody like me.
video;
Don't take this personally, but if we were at home, I probably wouldn't give a damn about a nobody like you. But we're severely underrepresented here and I need all the Decepticons I can get on board with me. It's a bad situation. But if we present a united front here, we can stop ourselves being taken advantage of by the Autobots, and hopefully prevent what started all this in the first place.
Does that make sense?
video;
Right, well. Uh. At least you're honest.
video;
Funny it took becoming a politician to make me honest, I know.
video;
Yeah, no offense, but talk about irony.
video;
None taken.

He shrugs.]
Got nothing. What the heck is that mark for?
video;
Primus I am really sick of not understanding this.
[moving back onscreen] Yes. Sorry. Little stressed. You don't--have a glyph. Okay. That's fine. You're going to end up sleeping in the bar.
video;
Did you just flip a table?
video;
Like flying without colors. It's just not something you should do.
Maybe a little. Half. I'll pick it up later.

video;
I'm thinking--you're a K-Class, you should probably appeal to Megatronus.
video;

video;
Oh sure, sounds just like me. Fearless ol' K-Class.
video;
Something else, I mean.
video;
video;
Enlighten me?
[his tone goes almost... kindly. The way he spoke to the insecticons.]
video;
The K-Class were made of various people. Commanders, grunts, engineers, pilots, and... technicians, like me. All convicted for one thing or another, all sentenced to death. The training they put us through, it was to try to make us fearless. Eager to serve by dying.
But that's not training. That's brainwashing. Sure, we were convicts, but do you wanna guess what this nobody was convicted for?
video;
Minor powerplay? Sideways assassination of a harassing coworker? [because he could see it, if Fulcrum were pushed to his limit, maybe. He does seem pretty compliant, and people who are compliant don't usually betray their leaders.]
video;
video;
You're probably the reason the Autobots took the project down! If you'd stayed behind, you had Optimus Prime on a platter!
[beat beat beat]
By which I mean, your higher ups were malfunctioning. I wouldn't expect Constructicons to cover my six, why did they expect techs not to find cover? [mercifully and miraculously, Starscream does not turn this into a IF I WERE IN CONTROL OF THE DECEPTICONS rant--possibly because he currently is]
