[Broadcasting from just outside Megatronus Prime's Arena][Actionspam welcome]

[megaton]

[It was no surprise to him that his time on this new Cybertron was going better than his last three years on an ancient one. Parts for the portal were already being gathered and assembled, nobody was directly threatening to kill him, and he'd passed his schematics out to multiple individuals who had a shot at making it work. With nothing more to do on the project, himself, he'd decided to pursue a little...entertainment, and perhaps secure a bit of additional assistance on the way.]

[Besides, this arena was actually pretty nice.]

It's been almost a decacycle, and though little has changed in how these 'Firstforged' treat us, we've already managed to accomplish enough.

Of course, if we're to become monsters as I've heard claims we will be, then those of you who are marked should get a bit of practice in beforehand, hm?

[Without a further word, a bright purple glow illuminates the screen for a moment as Megatron unsheathes his energon mace from his hand-socket and gives it a whirl.]

I have a meeting with one or two already, so this message is for the rest...

Do you think you have what it takes, to go tread to tread with a Megatron?

[He'll be waiting.]


Locked to Overlord

This goes double, for you.

[Yes, he knows you are in a prison and all. However, he doesn't suspect that's going to stop you, if the rumors he has heard are true.]



Locked to Barricade and Ambulon

As it helps to be prepared, I could use the assistance of a medic. Willing to lend a hand?

[Although it's phrased as a question, he expects at least one of you to be there. Otherwise, he might get...cranky. You know. If there's no one to patch up the folks he's trying not to kill.]

[forcowardice]

Er. No thanks. I'll probably just watch, if I have time.

[megaton]

[Who is...]





[Ah. Right. His current project manager.]

You should be busy.

However...

I remember you talking about how you didn't feel confident enough in your abilities to fight. [He's trying to think of a nice way to say 'he remembers that you ran.'] Would you care for some defense instruction?

[thelastprime]

[That's a Megatron. Or...so he thinks.

And where there is a Megatron, there is a Prime.]

You are provoking those with alignments.

[Thank you for stating the obvious, Optimus.

Rodimus had said that there would be those less than pleased with their lack of glyph...and it was confirmed here.]

Video

[megaton]

Provoking?

[Oh, hello there Optimus~ You're a new one for him, so this should be interesting.]

I merely stated facts and extended an invitation.

What a mech chooses to do now they do of their own accord.

[Such as you. He'd love to fight with you.]

[sciencetank]

Megatron?

video;

[megaton]

In the metal.

[And he can finally use his real name! It's...almost strange to do that, now.]

And you would be Perceptor, would you not?

[video/locked]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[OH YOU ROWDY KIDS] [sighs nonetheless] All right. Though having a second medic nearby would also be helpful, just in case. If Barricade can make it as well, that is.

Though I don't condone any of this nonsense, at least I can make sure no one dies. [Hopefully.]

[video/locked]

[megaton]

Come now, you were a Decepticon.

You know how antsy one can get if left with nothing to do for too long.

[He smirks, glad that you're coming. For a traitor, thus far you aren't bad.]

If anyone dies, then I'm not doing my job right. [The idea was to beat them to within an inch of their life, for now.]

[namesnotprowl]

Always willin' to help you out, Sparrow~

So long as you let me take a crack at you, too.

[He's never had the opportunity before, and if this might be his last chance... well, he's certainly not going to pass it up.]

audio; locked

[megaton]

Only if I manage to get hurt~

[That was the offer, but he knew it would happen. He had too many appointments to not need some form of patching up in-between, and if anyone was going to be doing it, Barricade was one that he'd trust.]

Ambulon seems interested in working with you. Have you two met?

[video locked]

[sword_redemption]

Megatron.

What are you really up to?

[Because he doesn't. believe that whole 'hey here's a chance to measure Megatron's mettle for fun and profit'.]

[video locked]

[megaton]

I'm merely stretching my pistons and servos, Drift.

[And seeing what the population contained as far as fighting power.]

Tell me, how long has it been since you've had a good fight?

text

[raceme]

It‘s not a death match, isn‘t it? [ He won‘t allow those, you see.] What are the rules?

text

[megaton]

I'm not interested in killing anyone.

The last thing I'd need right now is the law committee coming after me.

[Which he'd dispose of, but, really, he'd rather just cooperate for now, and leave.]

The rules are you fight me. I beat you to within an inch of your life, and let you go.

[redshirtrobot]

[Wait. A Megatron? O-oh no. Uhh...]

Oh, I uh. I don't think I'm good enough to take on you yet. Sir. I don't know that I could hit a-a Megatron anyway.

video;

[megaton]

[...]

You're not the other 'vehicon' I spoke with, are you.

[The word is still new to him.]

video;

[ex_dishonestly997]

Oh, wonderful. I'd almost forgotten you used to like to do this.

video;

[megaton]

Is there a problem with keeping myself entertained?

[He laughs.]

You could come show me the tricks you've learned over the past few million stellar cycles, you know.

[Video]

[aerospacecommander]

That's one mark on the chalkboard for "how similar is this Megatron to the other Megatron."

Are you sure you're keeping any psychosis to a minimum?

[Video]

[megaton]

I'd think I'd be psychotic to not take this opportunity, Starscream.

With a bit of free time and new and unusual mechs to fight, what is there to lose?

[He smirks.] You could come down and see for yourself.

VIDEO;

[inferiordude]

Quaint, needin' yer usual outlet. Is there anythin' you do that ain't destructive?

VIDEO;

[megaton]

You aren't the first person to ask me this.

[He says 'person' in specific...because the first one had been Mikaela.]

And there is, actually.

Or.

There was.

[He suspects you'd be surprised to learn what it is.]

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

[HE IS SO EXCITED YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY TELL EVEN IF HE'S PRACTICALLY JUMPING UP AND DOWN]

Oh! Oh! This is gonna be great! Hey, hey, boss; if ya need any help takin' out some of dem weaker punks, just call me in! [he gives a nervous grin] Not that I'm insinu-atin' you'll need any help or stuff.

[video]

[megaton]

I'm not opposed to teamed rounds.

[Actually, that is a good idea.]

Then we can take down more Autobots at once, hm? [If any Autobots volunteered. There was, at present, a short supply.]

Audio;

[chatterbot]

Not really, no.

[I'm sorry, was this rhetorical?]

Audio;

[megaton]

It does save you the repair-bill later on.

[Audio]

[neverputincharge]

Any chance of the matches bein' broadcasted?

[For those that can't get there to watch. There might be some longing in his voice too, wishing he could try.]

[Audio]

[megaton]

I have an Autobot who is currently condoning such an action as barbaric.

[He smirks, even if it can't be seen on audio.]

In other words, yes.

However, it would be more fun up close.

[action]

[invisiblepinkboat]

[Seeing this, Elita, instead of replying, uses the time it takes to get to the arena to think it over. There are, of course, reasons not to. A lot of them, in fact, but she's also curious and if they aren't aiming to kill... why not?

It might be useful, after all. One couldn't know what would happen.]

I'm interested.

[After transforming back, she does keep a relative distance, even if they're not even in the ring yet, looking the mech over. He's, of course, a both a fair bit broader and taller than she is. (Even if her helm gives her a an illusion of greater height.)]

[action]

[megaton]

You seem...familiar.

[The last time he had heard the voice, however, it hadn't been so calm. So controlled...no. No, it had been different. This pink femme is not the same as the other pink femme he had known.]

You are not Arcee.

[That much is obvious.]

Not that it matters. Think you can impress me? [He lets the mace withdraw back into his wrist, curious what weapon she'll use when she enters.]

[action]

[knightofdarkness]

[he's not verbally responding. he's simply tracking, at least at first.

after some time, then he's simply standing. in the observation seating, looking down in the center, searching for Megatron, figuring out the area...

...and how to make an entrance, too.]

[action]

[megaton]

[Megatron, at least, seems to have no shortage of challengers. It isn't his Arena, but it's an Arena, and that is enough.

He's at home, here.

When one fight concludes, he visits Barricade or Ambulon, taking a moment to rest and encouraging Frenzy to grab someone to beat up on while he recovers his strength. He has no intention of letting his opponents meet him at any less than his best.]

[Video]

[megatronicpolarity]

[Such a feisty, battle-ready little mech you are, Megatron! It really is a shame someone's going to have to shoot him.]

Taking on all comers? I suppose I can't accuse you of being too meek to bear your name.

Still - I do hope you're prepared.

[Video]

[megaton]

I have no fear of battle. [Not anymore.] Only a fear of finding no true, worthy opponents.

[He doesn't recognize you, however, and his device is not being helpful.]

Is there something I should be prepared for?

[Video] Sure did have this tab open for a week.

[ichooseboth]

A little practice violence before the...'real thing' potentially rears up?

That doesn't sound very optimistic of you.

[So dry. And since when do you even need the excuse for an arena match, anyway?]

[Video] Good to see you, Prime~

[megaton]

Any excuse for some exercise, old friend. [He makes sure that 'old friend' sounds particularly sinister.]

How long has it been since you have fought, anyway?
