[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.]

[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.

exactly! ... or something!

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

It's not that difficult to understand, really.
... Well, I guess it is, if you didn't grow up there, now that I think about it.

... *patpat*

[heavyweaponsbot]

... It is. Megatron... is a leader, a defender. I can never... imagine him taking a group of defects out... and destroying Cybertronian lives.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

No one else wanted them but him. But I never met him, myself. He disappeared stellar cycles ago.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Your Megatron is nothing like ours, I guess.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

I guess. That's just so... strange, though.

[heavyweaponsbot]

You're telling me.

...

You have a Commander Starscream?

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Starscream? Oh, he's Megatron's second-in-command. I've heard he was fast, and formidable in battle.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Guess some things don't change no matter what.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

That's not a bad thing, maybe?

I don't think he was very well-liked, though. Even by his own faction.

[heavyweaponsbot]

He's not so bad. Full of himself, overconfident... but he'll settle.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

I've heard that fliers can be pretty cocky, yeah.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah, but they lack any real stamina.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

True. But if they have a big enough payload, that doesn't make much of a difference, does it?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Got to get to the drop point before your payload matters. Fliers... bunch of punch and no processing.

[shockedlogic.livejournal.com]

Take it you prefer ground-pounders then, huh?
