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?

Just don't get into trouble if you can help it. [he understands if that's a hard thing to do. Almost all his frie associates can't seem to help it. And occasionally he can't seem to help it, either.

He tilts his head.]


...Something wrong?

Hm. One round of trouble would probably do you. [he definitely doesn't know about the dudbomb thing.]

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?

Well, tell me who you're aligned with and I'll tell you who to look out for.

Funny it took becoming a politician to make me honest, I know.

This. [He taps his glyph, on his arm, and squints at the video feed] Where's your glyph?

None taken.

[He moves offscreen briefly and there's the sound of something being tipped over with a soft crash. When his voice comes it's actually weirdly calm]

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.

You need a Firstforged allegiance to get into a temple, they get...funny, if you don't have one.

Like flying without colors. It's just not something you should do.

Maybe a little. Half. I'll pick it up later.

Exactly.

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

That's your type, right? Reckless disregard for life, your own, anyone else's...

Am I missing something, here?

Something else, I mean.

Apparently not enough.

Enlighten me?

[his tone goes almost... kindly. The way he spoke to the insecticons.]

[ponders for a moment. Vents in softly, and then out, taking a second to really think about what he might have been convicted for.]

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.]

Are you kidding?

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]

Rough.

And then what happened?
