Someone who hasn't heard of him? Oh, this had so much room for fun!
"Shrapnel, Shrapnel," he said brightly.

Demolishor got the feeling this guy was mocking him.
"Well, Shrapnel-shrapenel, where on Earth are we and how'd I get here?" He lowered his hands ever so slightly.

Shrapnel turned to look over his right shoulder, then twisted to look over his left. Then he looked up at the stars. No patterns he recognized, but he'd never been much of one for picking out patterns when he could just look at the pretty lights.
He shifted from foot-to-foot, then paused. That felt a little weird. He shifted again, then took a little hop in the air. Hmm.
"I don't think this is Earth, Earth," he said finally.

"It's not Cybertron either." He kicked one of the smaller trees and it went flying out into the water. "Or the Earth moon."
A rather odd idea runs around in his mind as he wondered if this was the Allspark and Primus just had a very bad sense of humor.

Shrapnel is totally Primus. In fact, if anyone suggests it, he will gladly own up to godhood.
"Much too lively for that, that," Shrapnel agreed. "Are you going to ask the other Decepticons where they are, are?"

"I don't think they're really Decepticons. They don't even know who I am!"
Demolishor is highly insulted by this. He's Megatron's right-hand man! Everyone should know him.

"Terrible, terrible," Shrapnel agreed. "I don't recognize most of them, either, but that rather posh little voice that just asked if you were Brawl belongs to Dead End, Dead End."

"I don't know any Brawls or Dead Ends." There is technically a Dead End in his continuity, but he's the crazed pet of Unicron. But he doesn't know that.
Demolishor pounded one fist into the other, scowling. "But those Autobots will be in for a brawl and a dead end when I'm done with them."
Thank you, he'll be here all night.

It's like someone took all of the things that Shrapnel really wanted in the universe that didn't come from Kickback and Bombshell and rolled them up in one package.
Why, Demolishor was even edible if push came to being stranded in the void of space!
"But first we have to find them, find them." Shrapnel grinned up at the big tank.

Demolishor was used to tiny warriors with odd abilities and strange speech patterns, Shrapnel was nothing.
But that didn't mean Demolishor trusted him.
"I don't know exactly where they are. I figure we just start walking and see where we get." Demolishor in command!

"Faster to fly, fly."
So would asking the others where they are. But that would require Shrapnel talking on that line, and he doesn't want to let anyone who might recognize him know he's there. That would ruin his fun.

"Do I look like Cyclonus to you?" Demolishor jerked two of his four thumbs at his missile turrets. He looked curiously at Shrapnel. "What do you turn into, anyway? A copter?"

"A stag beetle." A big one. "That's why I'm an Insecticon, Insecticon."

"You turn into a bug."
Demolishor gave him a blank, disbelieving stare. Great, planet of the crazy people.
"A flying bug."

"Yes, yes." Shrapnel was still grinning. If only Kickback and Bombshell were here to have fun with him.
Shrapnel didn't worry about where Kickback and Bombshell were; the Insecticons didn't always stick together. (Shrapnel also didn't worry about waking up an alien planet with no idea how he'd gotten there. Been there, done that, got the new alternate mode. At least this time he remembered his life from before.)
"But any Decepticon can fly, fly."
