[The post is video. Magnum is clean looking and well-kept, with some red smudges on his hands and face from helping paint a hardware store.

I will see about detaining Barricade. No need for the reward.

I do try, Magnum. And I appreciate that you appreciate me. Feels good to be in a job where I am valued.

But isn't that part of why we started our war? Autobot society places no value on the traits necessary for conquest and survival--the very sort of values that make a species great.
However, that does remind me--how many of your clones are here?

Exactly. Unappreciated for everything we've done. So long as they hold the power of council. Those lowly petrorats. Forcing us to fight for their own lazy existence. Pathetic, really. What a waste of parts.
My- oh. Seven, actually. Sunstorm, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Ramjet, Dirge, Thrust and...
Slipstream.

It was incredibly effective using energon cubules.

So I guess the short answer is no, I pretty much despise him.

But think on it. You are clear to extend an invitation to them if you so desire.

Then I shall, sir. Without a doubt, I will speak to them on it.

[He...pauses.]
And, actually, I have not yet heard from him. I wonder how that is going...
[And you get a nod, which is his acknowledgment that you will carry things out as you say.]

... told him that's. Stupid and would never work.
He's dangerous and not in the good way.

Your clones cannot be killed because they lack a spark, Starscream. I would think that yours would serve to make him whole, in a matter of speaking...
...though, in that same matter, if your spark was in him, would you not just take over his form?
Still.
You have reminded me.
Those fragments which gave your clones life--do you have more of them?
