And I have more than a dozen mechs who have been - for all intents and purposes - turned into humans of some sort. Yes, it shouldn't be possible. Yes, it sounds insane. Yes, I have had my processor checked. By the CMO no less. [Ratchet is UNHAPPY about that part.]
It seems to only affect a small group that are interconnected in some way. I suppose you can't see their network posts either then.
At least two are variations of yourself - hence my attempt to see if you suffered the same.
[But there is a long pause as Starscream digests this and refuses to let him say the first thing that occurs to him (which is mostly to call the medic crazy again, so it's probably for the best that he resists).]
Is this why I've had humans screaming over my comm all day? I had to shut the damn thing off entirely to get it to stop interrupting my meetings!
Tell you what. Go check your comm. Once you have, come back and tell me I'm insane. Please. I would love to see a better rationale for this than what I'm currently working with.

Unfortunately not. [He sighs, but makes sure to include Roller in the camera's range as proof to his identity.]
And no. He's working for Megatron, and he is Soundwave. Don't trust him at all. Get what information you can from him about this, give him anything that may help us fix this without compromising us, but don't turn your back on him. Is he still in his own body?
And the last thing I remember is going into recharge in my own berth; and then waking back up on top of it like this.

Understood sir. [Really, he doesn't intend to turn his back on that mech ever. He'd rather not have his front to him either.]
He's still in his own form, though quite a few Decepticons seem to be affected as well. Including our Universal Megatron, it seems.
Sir, I was informed that instances of this sort of... implausibility have happened before. A 'body swap' between mechs and organics. Can you confirm this?

Human? I assure you, medic, I'm as much a mech as I've ever been.
You might want to double-check you're not glitching, though.

Unfortunately yes. [Hi, have a unhappy human staring at the screen.]

Ah, sir. Soundwave had listed you among the affected. I had hoped, in vain I suppose....
Jetfire and I are working on finding out what happened to you. Can you recall anything specific?
[Another long, uncertain pause]
And... how much can I trust Soundwave, if he's working to... 'assist' Megatron?
