[ Have an extremely pissy looking red and yellow robot. He's got a pretty impressive scowl at the moment, and points directly at the video feed accusingly. He's still standing in the junk pile, his armor a bit scratched up from his landing. Not his most pristine moment and he's pretty aware of it. ]

Hey, what's up with all this? Do you know who I am? I'm Rodimus! Rodimus Prime! You can't just take me away from my crew without my permission and dump me in a heap of garbage. This is kidnapping.

[ His optics narrow and he crosses his arms. ]

I'll give whoever is responsible one chance to come forward and tell me where I am or else there's going to be bigger problems.

Our hosts aren't really big into fancy names.

[A bit of a grin. ]

It's a thing.

...not really. Not unless you count the First Forged.

Yeah. It's a little weird here.

[heroicpose]

We've seen weird, Drift.

[ First Forged. Right. ]

So, right. First Forged, not Knights of Cybertron. They know anything particularly useful?

[sword_redemption]

We have.

[He can't help but grin at the pronoun. After Ultra Magnus's constant scorn, it's a relief to be treated like he belongs...to anything.]

They know some things. It's what they're willing to tell us that's the tricky part.

[A shrug.] I don't mean to sound ungrateful since they're letting us stay, but...there's a lot they are not telling us.

"Letting us stay".

That really pisses me off, Drift. We didn't ask to end up here. I don't know if you've asked for their help either, but if they're going to be like that, I don't think I want it.

If they've got things to hide from us, then they can't be nice and pristine.

Rodimus. I would have died if it hadn't been for them.

I'm not saying they're nice. They have their own motives. But we have to survive and that means we have to coexist, at least.

[heroicpose]

Okay, fine. I know you probably trust them, but I'm saying I don't. Not right now. Not until I've gotten the chance to talk to them.

[ He crosses his arms. ]

I like to do things on my own terms, Drift. So far all I've heard about is temples and marks and secrets.

[sword_redemption]

No, I don't trust them. Not entirely. Because they don't trust us, they've held out information on us, already.

[He nods, understanding. ] You might see something I missed. Anything I can help you with, though....
