[The video starts pointed out at the floor as the user apparently fiddles with their comm.] Alright...did that turn it on? [The camera flips around and focuses on a man looking to be in his 50s or so. He holds the comm at arm's length.]

Greetings, City. I apologize for my unfamiliarity with this device, I'm...a little more used to sending

[Thundercracker just listens to that voice. That is the one he knows, if a little less... robust. But it's already a more imposing presence than the last one, who seemed to be somewhat clueless.

Megatron may be the voice that cackles menacingly in his nightmares, but Optimus Prime is the ultimate bogeyman for Decepticons. Even former Decepticons like him.]

Prime.

[protectorprime]

Indeed.

[Beat.]

I'll make my wager that from your abruptness, you're not an Autobot.

[crackofthunder]

No. No, I am not.

I am almost ashamed to be Cybertronian.

[protectorprime]

...then I'll assume you're not a Decepticon either.

[crackofthunder]

Not anymore.

My name is Thundercracker. I would appreciate it if you didn't try to kill me like the other Prime here did.

[protectorprime]

[...okay, the Thundercracker he knows is definitely -not- like this, but...]

...the last thing I want to do is drag one who does not wish to fight into battle unwillingly, Thundercracker.

[crackofthunder]

What Autobots say and what they do seem to be different things.

Keep your troops in line, and you'll have no problem from me.

[protectorprime]

They may not be my troops to command, but I'll do my best, just the same.

Thank you.

I hope to see you prove to Sentinel that he doesn't deserve the title of Prime.
