[ 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.

You're still calling yourself that?

[cliffjumper]

Rodimus Prime?

[Excuse him as he just stares and then snorts, managing to suppress the smirk almost completely. Rodimus, yeah, Hot Rod's changed his name, but Prime?]

Lookin' kinda skinny compared to the mech I know... An' no one's responsible for you bein' here, or anyone else of us. Or if something's responsible, it's up there in the sky.

[And yet another mech who's woken up in the Junk Pile instead of in a temple... what the slag is going on?]

[Video]

[vandalization]

Oh oh oh! You're like. That Rodimus? The one Drift told me about?

[chatterbot]

If you're talking about sicking Magnus on them, it's a bit late for that!

[video]

[sword_redemption]

Rodimus!

[He has never been so glad to see anyone, so Rodimus's mood just...skates off him like water off a proverbial duck.]

Where are you?

[heroicpose]

[ First person to greet him and it's Starscream. Wonderful. ]

Yeah. You have a problem? Don't suppose you have anything to do with this?

[Video]

[heroicpose]

Cliffjumper?

[ He hasn't seen you in some time. Gonna menance him with a gun again? ]

I'm not skinny, I'm streamlined. What in Primus are you talking about?

[Video]

[heroicpose]

Hope you're referring to all my good looks and charm when you say 'that Rodimus'.

You know Drift?

Video;

[heroicpose]

You're here too, Swerve? Fantastic. They just decide who to dump here too.

You think Magnus's buddy in the stupid hat did it? Metrotitan is long gone.

[video]

[heroicpose]

[ Rodimus is pretty set on being cranky. You know his moods, Drift. ]

I don't know. You tell me, since you seem to know the place. I'm standing in a heap of junk.

[Video]

[vandalization]

Well, the captain of the Lost Light, right?

Yeah. He's my best friend.

[video]

[sword_redemption]

[He does know Rodimus's moods. They don't faze him.]

Loosely, you're in the Junk Pile.

[He figures you might have figured that out on your own.]

Less loosely, you're on a Cybertron, apparently not ours, apparently in the past.

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

One an' the same, though probably not the one you know.

[Well, if you insist he could. If you wanted to. Wouldn't want to disappoint and all.]

Streamlined and skinny, then. [He shrugs.]

Alternate realities and slag, is what I'm talkin' about. Welcome to a Cybertron... None of us who're here belong here.

[The picture of tact.]

[Video]

[rungout]

[This place really does attract bots from the Lost Light doesn't it>]

Unfortunately it's not as simple as kidnapping, sir, though I wish it were, all things considered.

[There's an apologetic ring to his voice, Rung giving his commanding officer a weak sort of smile.]

[thehardway]

Rodimus.

You haven't been kidnapped. We're all here due to an accident, more or less.

[If he's glad to see you, Ultra Magnus is hiding that really, really well.]

[Video]

[heroicpose]

Hey, not my problem if you're jealous.

[ He raises an optic ridge. ]

So, saying I fell through some kind of space time portal into a heap of stuff.

[Video]

[heroicpose]

The one and only.

[ And the pissyness is starting to roll off. ]

Yeah? Well, that's cool I guess.

[Video]

[raceme]

[Rodimus, crew...sounds familiar, yes.] Are you the leader of the Lost Light? Some other mechs here mentioned you.

You have been dragged to a different universe through the lambda _{that bright thing in the sky} it's a rift in the space time continuum NONE of us knows exactly why but it happened Please don't try to kill any Decepticons you might encounter things work different here.

AUDIO

[percept]

Hello, Rodimus. I take it you were not given instruction on the situation by an Acolyte?

[video]

[heroicpose]

Aptly named, I see.

Oh, so that's cool. Thrown through a time portal and so on. See any Knights of Cybertron anywhere?

[Video]

[vandalization]

Badass.

Yeah, it is. He's a good bestie. So I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you could probably use some catchup time and a stuff drink.

Want the coordinates to the bar? It's where everyone's meeting up. I can give you a checkup if you're damaged.

[Video]

[cliffjumper]

Too tall for me to be jealous, sorry.

[He's pretty happy with his current look, thank you.]

Yeah, pretty much. [There's a huff and a grimace.] We've got a bunch of people from various alternate realities 'round here.

[His optics twitch slightly narrower and it's probable he doesn't even notice it, but that's pretty much indicative of his patience and trust for all this, and the people... even if he's used to the situation by now. Several times over.]

[video]

[sword_redemption]

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.

[winged_knight]

[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.]

[video] LOLocked

[winged_knight]

So that's him right? The Rodimus you were talking about?

You weren't kidding. Is he really a...Prime? I thought our Matrix was broken?
