Flirting with me already? [It's not a very good joke, because he's still worried as hell about Jetfire, but he's trying.]
Yeah, look. I know you know just about everything worth knowing.
[He trusts you waaaaay more than he should, knowing what he knows about your prior naughtiness with Magnum.]
So. What do you know about Magnum's, ummm, recent...'incapacitation'? [By which he means 'WHERE THE FRAG IS HE?!?!' but doesn't want you to know that he doesn't know...while still asking what you know. Follow that? Welcome to his world!]
Only if y'want me to. [He's kind of missing Ratchet at the moment, really. But he's willing to put on a good face.]
Sweet of you t'say.
Magnum going missing? Know about as much as everyone else, unfortunately. Last I saw, Nemesis'd broken him and turned him into a zombie puppet. Probably somewhere in the lower levels where our undead horde-master likes t'spend his time. [Barricade is somewhat reluctant to admit that he thinks the only way to solve this is by shooting out the processor of what's left of a mech he was fond of, of course.]
Ummm, maybe later with the flirting. [He has to, you know, go kill something first.]
[Please to not notice the wincing Skywarp does at the words 'broken' and 'zombie puppet'. Welp. Bonus points for not sugar-coating the truth, Barricade!]
'Our' undead horde-master? I didn't sign on for one of those.
So, that's why he hasn't come back. [As in, returned from the whole 'dead' thing.] So if I find him, he can be fixed, right?
[Skywarp, HERO! Rescuer of Megatrons-in-Distress! Can you just see it?]
[Well, sometimes it takes blunt force to make it through Skywarp's processor. He's a bit...thick.]
Yeah. I believe that like I believe the Autobots are the victims. They know about him. They have to. It's all part of their grand...whatever.
[Welcome to Conspiracy Theory 101, with Professor Skywarp.]
I mean, you have to notice that it defies probability that we've lost two, uh, Megatrons and all of those Optimuses (Optimi?) are still running around? Yeah, that's not suspicious or anything.
[Frowny frown frownity frown of ultimate unhappiness. And not just because you just ruined his happy fantasy.]
That's no fate for a warrior. He deserves better. [In a way, their Megatron had done a better job of it--taken out how many blocks of the city? That was more like it.]

Well. One sorta followed us home anyway. And apparently no one's noticed him except for this network.
[Barricade rumbles quietly in thought. Hoo-boy.] Don't... think he'd be coming back from that. Not to the way he was, anyway.
[... That would be adorable.]

Designation: Magnum has been located.

Well, where is he? [Because apparently Skywarp has to heroically save him from a Fate Worse Than Death (tm) by ripping out his cortex or something.]
And more importantly, what are we doing about it?

'Handled.'
As in, you've killed the mechs who set Magnum up?

Hnh. Of course.
So. We're supposed to just...put all the plans on hold, sit in neutral gear, spinning our wheels and....wait till someone else takes over.
