[ 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.

[Well, this is uncanny timing indeed. It's a shame Wing's looking less than his best today.]

Rodimus? From the Lost Light, yes? There is a number of your crew here already. Drift and Ultra Magnus among them.

[Wing is none too pleased that the mech Drift has spoken so highly of is past of this current mystery. He'll just hold out enough hope to double check...]

Sorry if this seems rude but, do you have any strange new markings or glyphs on your frame? Similar to this? [He twists to show the brightly glowing golden glyph on his shoulder nacelle.]

[heroicpose]

Noticing that. Not sure if I should be pleased or pissed off, to be honest.

[ Seems his entire commanding team was here. Neutral had started to creep into his expression, but he frowns when Wing shows off his glyph. He gives a cursory glance over his own frame. ]

No new engravings as far as I've noticed. What's up with that?

[winged_knight]

It's unfortunate to have so many stuck here but nice to have familiar faces around you. It's how most of us feel.

[He nods, looking pensive.]

We're not sure yet. It's an anomaly but we're still trying to figure out what the pattern is.

But beyond that, you're here on a young Cybertron, witnessing its birth. [Isn't that wonderful?] And I swear the rest of it is much prettier than that junk pile you're standing in.

[heroicpose]

Awesome. I get to be an 'anomaly'. What's with the markings in the first place?

Not much different than home then, but seems to be about ten percent less 'the planet trying to kill you'. I hope, at least?

[ Man, they screwed up Cybertron big. He winces. ]

Been a long time since I've seen anything particularly 'pretty' when it comes to Cybertron.

Ah-ha, sorry. [Wooo, he feels sheepish now. Someone hasn't had much recharge and isn't as on top of the consideration thing as he'd normally be.] Most of the previous arrivals have them: we all apparently became aligned to one of the First Forged upon arrival.

Yeah, I...heard about that. And the end of the war. [He's still not certain what to think frankly.] No this Cybertron is safe, with the exception of Unicron's influence. So the planet won't kill you, but the monsters and the Badlands might.

[He shrugs. At least you can see both of those coming, bonus right?]

This will be a refreshing change for you then, [he grins] we just have to get you out of the Junk Pile. Drift and I are at the newly constructed bar if you want a change of scenery. You should join us.

I'm just pulling your wing flares. Don't worry. [ He shakes his head. Don't like this 'aligned' thing. It just reeks of ownership and payment owed.

Vaguely heard about 'Unicron' so far. Any idea what exactly it's supposed to be besides 'mysterious evil entity'?

Someone already invited me over there. Figure I'll make my way over before the grit really gets in deep. Drift seems to be a pretty... popular guy, here.

[He laughs, it's a sound that comes readily to him.] I was wary of it at first too, but I trust Vector Prime now. They've asked for nothing in return for the basics offered, only when we've asked directly for favors that require their power has their been a need for exchange.

He seems to be an embodiment of chaos. The enemy of Primus, perhaps even his antithesis. I...get the impression there are two gods contending over dominance of this world. [This is both amazing and terrifying.]

[He laughs again.] That must have been Vandal. Drift and I both met her here, but I've known him since Crystal City. The weight if his past is not as oppressive here so it doesn't shock me that he has more friends, it's like a new start for a lot of people. [He smiles.] Oh, and there are washracks here, if you need them.
