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

[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.]

Or perhaps the lesson is we make monsters only we can destroy.

[He shakes his head.] You don't, Megatron. You break your promises. Because it's so easy to get seduced by power, and violence. It was the problem of all the Primes.

[And Megatron.]

No one. But I was never as powerful or dangerous as you. [More than a little edge to the growl.] Wing is none of your business.

Megatron, you don't understand. You can't change what's happened. Because if you did, I wouldn't even exist as I am. Whatever you think you can do when you go back, you merely create a splinter of reality.

It doesn't change the reality I lived in. And all those who died in it.

Hope. [A laugh.] No. Not hope. You've got it wrong. He gives me something to look at so I don't have to look at myself.

[The same way the Knights of Cybertron and all their aura of ancient virtue do.]

[An almost bitter laugh.] So this is merely an elaborate and expensive way so you can dodge responsibility for what you've done, and give you what you think you deserve instead.

Maybe it makes me a coward.

He died for me. What greater tribute could I give him? [He knows he's always followed those greater than himself. He knows he's not a leader. He is an unashamed of this as he was of his Decepticon badge in its time.] If he can't, none of us are salvageable.

Because you don't have to see. You don't get to look in the optics the mechs who died for you when you went too far.

No. Of course not. But there has to be a better way than attrition. There has to be a better way than becoming the terror of the galaxy.
