[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]

Between you and me, I'd like to avoid a next time.

hologram

[aerospacecommander]

I don't blame you. Death doesn't seem like it'd be very fun.

hologram

[uneulogized]

Yeah ... what happens with robots die, anyway? The junkyard?

hologram

[aerospacecommander]

Mostly. Depends on if you're the religious type or not. Some say our spark joins the Well of the All Sparks or Primus or whatever after death.

hologram

[uneulogized]

Wow, you really leave your buddies to the junkyard.

[He's momentarily caught up in that.]

Aren't you a friendly bunch?

hologram

[aerospacecommander]

When you're at war for as long as we were, there isn't always time.

hologram

[uneulogized]

Were. Not are. So you finally broke out of that cycle?

hologram

[aerospacecommander]

I wouldn't exactly say the war is over, but it's kind of complicated right now back home. And here? Relentlessly murdering one another won't solve anything as long as we are in this place.

We might be able to play nice with each other for a little while.

hologram

[uneulogized]

Guess that brings me back to point A.

[Or whatever smartass remark he started with.]

You insisted on pulling rank. You think that matters?

hologram

[aerospacecommander]

Our species have been at war for millions of years. It will be better for the rest of those here if there is some sort of command structure.

Some Decepticons can get, uh, rather unruly otherwise.

hologram

[uneulogized]

You ever think of renaming yourselves to something less based on deception?

hologram

[aerospacecommander]

Good point, but I don't think it'd matter much. After so long, a new name probably wouldn't really stick.

[Besides Jason, Cybertronians are terrible at naming things.]

hologram

[uneulogized]

I don't know, I think a collective identity could help. Hell, you could even try it here.

hologram

[aerospacecommander]

Hmm. What about the 'Predacons' ?

hologram

[uneulogized]

That's too close to "pedocons."

hologram

[aerospacecommander]

[I'm so sorry Jason you're going to have to explain that one to him.]

... What?

hologram

[uneulogized]

I'm not explaining pedophilia to a robot.

hologram

[aerospacecommander]

... What do predacons have to do with that?

hologram

[uneulogized]

Say it three times fast.

hologram

[aerospacecommander]

You're not making any sense. I'm going to assume this is a weird human thing.

hologram

[uneulogized]

That's a safe bet.
