A very large door opens to one side of the sign, and 35 foot of black movie Decepticon steps through, his optics on his catlike companion as he gives the beast a piece of his mind. Then he stops short and looks around as he realizes that he's somehow no longer on base

To people from a certain universe-set (G1), the mech is recognizably Slingshot of the Aerialbots. Except he's been built to look like a Seeker.

"Just speaking generally here, but if they're dead, you waited too long."

[pastwillhaunt]

The black one looks at him, frowning more deeply. "He's not dead. What are you?"

[aerialcrons]

"Well, if he's not dead, then you still got time to make his life suck."

Slingshot puffs himself up proudly. "I'm an Aerialcron."

[pastwillhaunt]

"Rather just make it end," he rumbles, scowling absently. "What's an Aerialcron?"

[aerialcrons]

"Yeah? Where's the fun in that?" Slingshot tilts his optic-band skyward in derision. "What's the point in that? If all your revenge is is to kill him, then it wouldn't matter if someone else got him, would it?"

The second question gets a slightly perplexed look. He's an Aerialcron! "How'd the human put it...? Alt-u Aerialbots that got Silverbolt reformatted by Unicron and body redesigns by Starscream."

[pastwillhaunt]

"This isn't about fun. And I want to see him die, slowly and painfully."

And... most of that's gone right over his head. Except that one part. "Lord Starscream?"

[aerialcrons]

"Now we're getting somewhere!" Slingshot slams a fist into the palm of his other hand. "What's stopping you?"

"Yeah, Starscream. F-22, Air Commander of the Decepticons, screechy voice."

"Not knowing where the glitch is," says Dreadnought disgustedly, kicking his drone, who snarls at him and exposes wicked claws.

[aerialcrons]

"Yeeeeaaaah. That could be a problem."

[pastwillhaunt]

"And being posted out on the edge of slagging no where." Another kick, and the cat's retaliating. Dreadnought just grabs him and shakes him.

[aerialcrons]

"That can be fixed. Bribe for a transfer." Not like Slingshot's ever had to do that himself, but he's known others who have. And heard stories from the Stunticrons.

"... Your critter's a bit aggressive."

[pastwillhaunt]

"You need stuff to bribe." He shakes the cat again. "He's not my critter."

[aerialcrons]

"What, they don't pay you in the Decepticons?" Not that he'd be terribly surprised to find out they didn't. "Then what is he?"

[pastwillhaunt]

"I'm stationed out in the middle of no where. Credit is useless, and plunder is a rumor." He reaches down and slaps the cat. "He's my drone."
