[Video-open] Mega-thread of Mega-doom.

[He's sitting on his 'chair' in the Hollow's empty throne-room...looking more scuffed than normal. From the small energon stains, the dust, and the smirk on his face...it might be obvious he just came from the Arena. It definitely looks as if he won.Soundwave and Ratchet both disappeared for three days: I have the evidence of their absence, right

Frag it, Starscream!

Give him to me.

[not_your_gun]

[He watches you evenly.]

Why?

[notyourchauffer]

[He'll accept that Starscream probably got himself into this on his own, but he won't like it.]

He is my friend.

/JACK [locked, 70%]

[okiefordokey]

...That Starscream is being your friend, not-Jetfire?

[supreme_leader]

Lost your pet?

[His optics flick to his Second. At least now he knew Starscream isn't off plotting some way to kill him, he might have left it at that, however he'll probably need his only soldier at some point.]

Pity he didn't offline you and save me the trouble.

[Video]

[not_your_gun]

Yes.

And I would like him returned to me...

[He growls.]

So eager to see me gone again, Malcolm? It would be a shame, if so. I'd miss our fights, together...

[talks2stoplight]

[He's already gone over the issue of Starscream with Megatron and as he's not particularly interested in doing it again, he lets it go. He is keeping an eye on Skyfire's transmissions, though.]

Pretty brazen of you to just come out over the network like that. Guess I shouldn't be surprised, though.

[not_your_gun]

Well, if I vanish after this...

[He laughs.]

Perhaps someone should put a tracer in me beforehand, hmm? That will make me easier to find than you were.

[Since he couldn't find you at all.]

Tell me, do you know what was even done to you, yet?

[talks2stoplight]

[Right, because if Magnum vanishes, Ratchet is just going to be climbing the walls with worry. He gives his best approximation of rolling his optics dismissively.]

I know very well what was done to me. I assume Soundwave filled you in.

[not_your_gun]

He did.

I am not pleased with this arrangement, but...I cannot imagine that you are, either.

Tell me, what happens if the two of you are in the same room?

[notsoloyal]

[Evidence of kidnappings? Oh he has some of that, not that he's going to mention this.]

He has never looked better.

[not_your_gun]

If no one offers sufficient...incentives for me to get rid of him, you're welcome to a slice...

[notsoloyal]

It has been a while since he has been in my laboratory.

[not_your_gun]

He did say you'd...done quite a lot with him.

Something painful, I presume?

[ops_meister]

[Now he's thinking that he probably should have brought that up with Prime in their little chat but it had been the least of his worries and then Skywarp had been offlined, putting the whole thing up in the air.

There was a reason Skywarp didn't want him sneaking around in the back and he still wants to know why, at the time a match had seemed like the quickest in. Jazz doesn't necessarily have to fight; he just needs to be allowed in the back part of the arena.]

It's a little hard to fight a pair match when you've incapacitated my partner.

[not_your_gun]

Oh, I'll have him fixed in time.

[Megatron tilts his head, glad to be speaking with one of the great mysteries he'd located in Skywarp's files.]

But...do enlighten me.

Why would an Autobot agree to fight by a Starscream?

This one in particular?

[ops_meister]

Didn't have much of a choice. Shrug Skywarp demanded I have a Decepticon partner to keep the match entertaining.

[Otherwise it probably would have ended up a friendly spar between Autobots, which he would have preferred.]

This Starscream, is the Con that acts the least like it.

[At least he's the only one Jazz knows of who's friends with an Autobot.]

[not_your_gun]

...smart of him.

[He glances to the Starscream in question.]

Are you certain we are talking about the same mech?
