[Video] :: Location - Junkpile

[young_upstart]

Ugh, my head...

[It's hard to make anything out at first, save for the brilliant glare of blue bleeding like an open wound in the vast expanse of a dark sky.]

Where? [The Autobot finally sits himself up, a hand braced against his head as he looks around. His expression falls.]

...oh you've got to be kidding me. I know we were en route to the Planet of Junk, but come on- how many times are we going to crash land? And we just got that ship!

[He pauses, optics narrowing as he looks around once more. There's...something that... No. Probably his imagination. He shakes his head.]

I know I didn't let any of those big bozos drive so how... Guess I should start with "where." -huh?

[He looks directly at the screen, finally.]

Kup? Wheelie? Hey, I'll even settle for Grimlock! Where are you guys?

[thehardway]

[What.]

What.

[You look like Rodimus but more...]

...Hot Rod?

[Video]

[young_upstart]

-Ultra Magnus! ...? [Right? He pauses a moment, but then rallies on- it seems like forever since he'd last heard from the guy.]

So you guys are here! Where are the others?

[Video]

[thehardway]

[All right, he'll turn on the video function for this. He makes an effort to not show the damage to his frame, though.]

I suppose that all depends on how you'd define that.

Hot Rod, let me see your arms first.

[Video]

[young_upstart]

[That...isn't quite the response he's expecting. In fact, it's kind of worrying.]

Did something happen to them? [Don't tell him he's too late! The request comes across as strange, and it shows on his face.]

What?

[Video]

[thehardway]

That depends. I find it odd that you'd ask about Kup and Wheelie is all. But I'll get to that.

...Hot Rod, please. Show me.

[video]

[wreckandrotors]

[Well, now this is a welcome sight!]

Rodimus!

[He grins.] Should've let me fly. I ever tell you about that rockeroid?

[Video]

[young_upstart]

Rodi-wha? We get separated for how long and you're making up a new nickname for me?

[Unless this is what Ultra Magnus meant about other versions... But even so, it's nice to see a(nother) familiar face.]

No, don't think you have...

[Video]

[wreckandrotors]

Wait. You don't have the Matrix?

[Springer: never known for brains, subtlety or tact.]

Heh. Well. Let's just say, I can fly anything. Because Skuxxoid ships ain't exactly aerodynamic. And I could stop that thing on a half shanix.

[Video]

[young_upstart]

Wh- [Hang on, you almost shorted his processors.] Why would I have the Matrix?! Last I checked, it was with Ultra Magnus!

Um- can we talk about your flying skills later? Preferably when things make sense?

[Video]

[wreckandrotors]

[Hey, you're the moron who shorted his own circuits to go on that weirdo trip into the matrix. Don't blame shorting out on him!!!]

Yeah, well, if you listen to Wreck-Gar--if you can understand him--we're from different times.

[He grins.] There's always time to talk about how awesome I am.

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

You look like you belong on a planet of junk all right.

[Video]

[young_upstart]

...of all the different universes it had to bring you.

[Video]

[aerospacecommander]

I see my reputation proceeds me.

However, you obviously were not important enough for me to remember since I have no idea who you are.

[Video]

[young_upstart]

...aaand no matter what universe, he's still got the ego to go with it.

The name's Hot Rod.

[Video]

[aerospacecommander]

What bad Earth romance novel did you crawl out of?

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

So, I'm takin' when we raided Autobot City, yer slaggin' aft survived.

Oh, fraggin' joy.

[Video]

[young_upstart]

You give yourselves too much credit! Surprised to see you around here too, pipsqueak.

[Video]

[rednotbluethx]

It ain't so much you's stronger than us, jus' you guys are a bunch of roboroaches.

Yeah, maybe some time we can git together! Have some energon, rem-ness, blow yer CPU out, all dat fun stuff!

[Video]

[young_upstart]

Hah! Sure! Maybe I'll bring you a box or something to stand on so you don't strain your neck having to look up all the time.

[Video]

[rednotbluethx]

Yeah, bring the box! I'mma need somethin' t'put yer remains away in.

[idle_time]

Rodimus Prime! You came on down?

[Video]

[young_upstart]

....Hot Rod- not Rodimus. ["Prime"...? Well, Springer did mention the Matrix but...what?]

-um, sorry, but you are...?

Re: [Video]

[idle_time]

[Wreck-Gar gives him a curious look, stroking his beard. Rodimus seems a bit younger, like he did when he first showed up on the Planet of Junk. Strange.]

My name's Wreck-Gar! But you can call me Wreck-Gar! Your Junkion pal with new sleek turbo handling.

[Video]

[young_upstart]

Oh, so you're the one Springer mentioned. Junkion? I guess that's where we were headed...before I ended up here.

Re: [Video]

[idle_time]

You mean you didn't yet come on down to the Planet of Junk? You didn't kill the Grand Pooh Bah and eliminate even the toughest stains of Unicron?
