[Well, since the other robots made an appearance, it was time for the most important one to appear.

So have a rather smug looking Cybertronian. But don't worry this is his default expression.]

Greetings.

I am Commander Starscream of the Decepticons. If anyone happens to run across any other members of my faction, direct them to me.

Also, as the pointy-headed member of my species already stated, we require an energy source known as Energon. However, since I am not as inept as some, I can make due with almost any energy source and convert it. So ... with that said, if anyone has access to this sort of thing, I'm sure we can work something out.

[If he has two he grab some organics and hook them to a machine as batteries]

What if I ask nicely?

[alwaysadrift]

No. Please.

[HA, he got there first! Nevermind the optic rolling.]

[aerospacecommander]

I guess you don't want access that badly.

[alwaysadrift]

I think offering to do errands for you is easily fair trade for access.

[Primus WHY did he even make that joke in the first place?]

[aerospacecommander]

Maybe I'll consider it.

[alwaysadrift]

Well if you'd rather do all the work by yourself... [SHRUG]

[aerospacecommander]

I usually work alone. Besides, I know you don't want to starve.

[alwaysadrift]

[Wow why to be a total dick about stuff Starscream.]

2/2

[alwaysadrift]

It wouldn't be the first time. I think you vastly underestimate my tolerance.

[The others though...Wing, Rodimus. That's who he's really worried about. (Megatron can probably take care of himself in this area).]

[aerospacecommander]

Then we can make a bet on how long you'll last.

[alwaysadrift]

If you like. You'll lose though. What do you know about starving anyway?

[Scientists were always the elite, Starscream always thought of himself as such. How would this one know what it meant to be improvised?]

[aerospacecommander]

I am an expert at being resourceful, that is true. But I'll still win.

[alwaysadrift]

Starving isn't a contest Starscream. [Really. He's mildly disgusted.]

[aerospacecommander]

You're the one who started the challenge.

[alwaysadrift]

I made a statement, you wanted to place bets.

[SEMANTICS WHATEVER.]

But I'm NOT interested in any of that. Can we do business or not?

[aerospacecommander]

I still don't see what I will benefit by allowing your involvement.

[alwaysadrift]

You can't use a second pair of hands? You yourself suggested running errands.

[aerospacecommander]

That was before you suggested an alternative.

[alwaysadrift]

[He sighs, crossing his arms and tilting his helm in a way that says 'Really?', and just stares.]
