[Anyone still of the proper age and memory will notice something is... different... with Ironhide's voice.  He sounds... not nearly as rough and ragged as usual.  His vocals sound almost... new.  Or closer to it.]

...

What is this?  Don't remember being here before...  What happened to the battalion?  The Commander...?  Any of you out there?


[ooc: Ahahah scaled back in age to pre-war times 8D Have fun.]

[Now he really can wear a monocle!]

... I have never been red.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Psh, he could totally do that as Shockwave. And wear a little bowler hat while sipping tea!]

... Clearly not. Well, I-I guess I have you confused for a different Ironhide, then. Strange... Uhm. I'm Longarm, by the way.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Is it wrong that I think that should happen?]

... Clearly. Longarm? Your rank?

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Probably not.
...Since I've found art of him doing that exact thing.]

Uhm, cadet, right now. Still in training. But I'd like to be the Prime of Autobot Intel someday.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[This must needs happen]

Cadet Longarm... hm.

Prime? Of... there are no more Primes. They're extinct. Legends.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Absolutely yes. Maybe for the Fourth Wall... Iconing is go!]

Legends? Certainly not. They're one step down from Magnus. Takes a lot of work to get the rank of Prime, I've heard.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[GO go go!]

... What kind of Cybertron are you from?

Irrelevant icon FTW!

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Surely the mun is headed to the Pit for making a pair of these icons.]

Not the same one, obviously. But that doesn't make sense...

/dead

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Oh no, they're wonderful.]

There's only one Cybertron...

/resurrects with the Matrix

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[D'aww, thanks! All credit to DevART, of course.]

Well that's why it doesn't make sense. But your Primes... aren't like my Primes... but we're both from Cybertron.

That only works for Prime!

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Bless it. Sometimes.]

We don't have any Primes... we have Megatron.

Aw, shucks..

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Sometimes it can be... strange, yes.]

We have Megatron, and Primes. But Megatron's a Decepticon. He's one of the bad guys.

[That's so difficult for him to say.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Megatron a... what? What is a Decepticon? How could he be evil?

[This is so weird to say.]

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Most backwards conversation EVAH.]

Decepticons. 'Deception's their entire name - and game,' my creator used to say. They're awful, and L- Megatron is the worst of them.

[Fun Fact: 'Longarm' used to have horrible slipping-up problems before he got extra-paranoid.]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[IT REALLY IS.]

I do not... think they exist on my Cybertron. But Megatron... can't be something like that.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[THIS MUST BE THE TWILIGHT ZONE OH GOD WHAT'S THAT ON THE WING]

He did. Oh, he's done horrible things to the Autobots, just horrible. And he will again, if he's still around.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[OH SHIT--IT'S FRENZY! Or a gremlin they look the same.]

... Megatron... did what? Why?

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

[Man, they really do. Crazy Frenzy-gremlins.]

I don't know many details, but I'm told that everyone he captured and interrogated ended up in pieces on the Autobot's boarders. I think he did it just because he could.

[heavyweaponsbot]

That can't be... possible. He's a good commander. He protects Cybertron. He would never harm his own kind.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

But he has. I mean, he says he's fighting for the freedom of all Cybertron, but who can you really believe?

[heavyweaponsbot]

How could... I don't believe this!

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Which part do you not believe?

dfdsj this tag is so weird

[heavyweaponsbot]

That Megatron would harm those he swore to protect!

it's so weird it's weirdtabular

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

The ones he 'swore to protect' went with him, or so I heard. All of the anomalies of society. The defects.

... so weird it's not a word?

[heavyweaponsbot]

No, it was... all of Cybertron.

I don't get your world.
