[Have a sad triplechanger. He's frowning as he looks into the camera.]

Um, anyone out there wanna hire me for stuff? I can do a lot of stuff besides being a taxi and a cargo transport. Really don't want to do that anymore.

I wanna try something new. I guess.

[Now have a hopeful smile.]

So, any takers out there?

I... might be interested.

[Action!]

[onetruesikorsky]

[He doesn't have a special door/window for you, sorry. He needs a personal helipad on the roof that leads to his office but he's trying to remain decently inconspicuous.]

[Action!]

[choochoobrain]

[He transforms, lands outside the main entrance and waits to be escorted in.]

[Action!]

[onetruesikorsky]

[And so he is escorted inside, straight to the lift that leads directly to the top floor. There is only one in the entire building that leads up there, but it's big enough to hold at least five mechs of Megatron's size and height.]

[He's waiting rather patiently there - he seems to spend more time in this office than should be considered healthy.]

[There is a mini-con chirping and coloring on a datapad off to the side.]

[Action!]

[choochoobrain]

[The elevator reaches its' destination, and he hesitates before stepping out of it. He's both excited and nervous. He is smart enough to keep both feelings to himself, mostly so he doesn't say or do anything stupid.]

[Action!]

[onetruesikorsky]

[You're... a lot larger than he expected. Then again you were used mostly as a transport.]

I do not believe I caught your designation.

[Action!]

[choochoobrain]

I'm Astrotrain.

[And you're a lot bigger than Malcolm. And you sound a whole lot better.]

Nice place you got here.

[Action!]

[onetruesikorsky]

[He takes a languid look around.]

It serves its purpose.

[That's Megatron for 'thank you'. He's drinking out of a half-twisted barrel of oil, but he takes a cube of high-grade from subspace.]

Energon?

[Action!]

[choochoobrain]

[Now this is a first. He's used to someone stealing his energon.]

Um, thanks.

[At this point he would do anything you asked of him.]

[Action!]

[onetruesikorsky]

[His optics narrow in a smirk and he takes a long drink, swirling the barrel briefly before speaking.]

Clearly you worked for Malcolm and have ill words for his leadership capabilities. You have my curiosity, Astrotrain.

[Action!]

[choochoobrain]

[He finishes the cube before speaking. Wow that was some good stuff.]

Heh. Which failed attempt at total domination do you want to know about? Or about the time me and Blitzwing outsmarted him and Starscream? Or how he'd have me drag those morons all over the galaxy, use up my fuel reserves, and sit around and wait while they did whatever?

[Action!]

[onetruesikorsky]

[Oh this was good. So very good. He sits in his throne-like chair, extravagant and very... purple. He lounges, smirk widening with each word.]

So filled with bitterness. [He was loving this, and the purring rumble of his engine proved that.]

[Sonar chirps something at him and he nods.]

Yes, I agree. Let's begin with failed domination attempts, shall we?

[Action!]

[choochoobrain]

Let's see. When I first got to Earth, Malcolm managed to make the humans hate the Autobots, and think us Decepticons were the good guys. The Autobots were sent into space or something, and the humans became our slaves. Of course that got screwed up. The Autobots came back and ruined everything.

[He's grinning. Oh he's loving this.]

Malcolm always got his aft handed to him by Prime and his gang. Really pathetic. Made me wish I had stayed on Cybertron.

[Action!]

[onetruesikorsky]

[Well, he was somewhat close to Malcolm then - he just disillusioned an old scientist that he was an Autobot... Primus that was humiliating when he thought back on it. He never wanted to see a My Little Pony ever again.]

[His smirk couldn't possibly get any wider, and he half-tries to hide it behind his goblet.]

Are there, by any chance... video files of these failures?

[Because that. That would make his megacycle.]

[Action!]

[choochoobrain]

Soundwave's got to have something. That guy's got dirt on everyone.

And did I mention, Malcolm's most used phrase: "DECEPTICONS, RETREAT!"

[And with that, he starts laughing.]

[Action!]

[onetruesikorsky]

[Oh really. That's most definitely enough to get the Warlord laughing - chuckling, more like.]

Do continue.

[He's thoroughly enjoying this.]
