"Uh..." Swerve's demand throws Bluestreak off for a moment, but he quickly recovers. "The Stunticons were a bunch of Decepticons created by Megatron -- Motormaster leads them, he's a semi truck like Prime, then there's Dragstrip, Wildrider, Breakdown, and Dead End. They all have forcefields and can combine to form Menosaur. Really nasty guys, but I hear they're all a little crazy too. Especially Motormaster -- calls himself King of the Road, hates Prime for being a truck too, though I don't know why, Prime didn't choose his Earth alt mode, Teletraan did..."
He turns to Sideburn and changes the subject. "The Decepticons are a sub-group of the Predacons? That's weird. Where I come from, the Decepticons are the ones with sub-groups. But we have combiner teams too, so it's nice to know we have something in common. We've got the Aerialbots who make Superion, the Protectobots who make Defensor, the Constructicons who make Devastator, the Stunticons who make Menosaur -- like I just told Swerve about -- and the Combaticons who make Bruticus. The Decepticon gestalts are nasty, I hope none of them made it... or at least not a complete team of them..." He pauses to think of what else to say. "What's your Megatron like? And your Prime? Yours too, Swerve."

Stunticons have forcefields. They have forcefields. Dead End – that was why nothing put a scratch on him! That… that cracked-block, torqueless, shoulder-hugging cheat! Fragging Dead End!
"Forcefields." Swerve lurches forward as his engine gears higher with a furious roar. If Bluestreak or Sideburn follows closely enough, he might well feel the heat pouring from the compact red car. "Glitching forcefields! That sludge-chugging–! Rrrgh!" If anyone thought he was grouchy before, that mech is about to get a redefinition. Bluestreak won't be getting any answers about a Prime or a Megatron any time soon, either.
He'll probably get random curses and slurs on Dead End instead.

Sideburn's face on his internal screen blinks at Swerve's increased anger. "Woah. That's worse than he was earlier."
Giving a mental shrug, he returns to his conversation with Bluestreak. "On our side we have the Build Team and Team Bullet Train. The Build Team forms Landfill, and I know Wedge, the team's leader, is here... Team Bullet Train forms Rail Racer, but I don't know if any of them are here...
"I guess Scourge can be kinda like your Motormaster... He doesn't have the same alt as our Prime, but when his pod scanned the tanker for his alt mode, it also scanned Prime.
"Megatron has five different modes and he's really strong, but he tends to just send either Sky-Byte and his group or the Decepticons out, and doesn't even come near most of the battles. Prime is awesome. Between battles he volunteers at the local fire department... ...Not that they know who or what he is... And his trailer adds extra armor. Though I don't know what I'd do if my brothers were like Ultra Magnus... I can't imagine getting really mad at them, much less holding a grudge and trying to kill them." Sideburn sighs. "A lot of the times Ultra Magnus doesn't even act like an Autobot. But we just found out he can merge with Prime to form Omega Prime... We'll most likely end up needing Omega Prime again."

Bluestreak backs away from Swerve as if he's just sprouted a Decepticon sigil. Forget Gears -- he sounds more like Ratchet after the twins got themselves slagged again now! Privately he reminds himself to not bring up the Stunticons to Swerve again.
"So... there's Stunticons here, I'm guessing?" he asks Sideburn. "And FIVE alt modes for your Megatron? I didn't even know that was possible! Five... wow, lucky ours only had one, his gun mode. Of course, he usually fought alongside his men. Our Primes sound a lot alike, though I don't know if ours volunteered for the fire department. Our Ultra Magnus is a good fighter, but he's an Autobot through and through... and he's not Prime's brother, at least I don't think..."

Just think, if Swerve hadn't met Dead End, he probably wouldn't care.
Oh, but he has and he does. And now he knows why that fight went so badly, why he couldn't put so much as a single solitary ding the Decepticon car. The leaking coward was hiding behind a forcefield the whole time!
Swerve is bound to remain hung up on this fact, and continue working himself into a grand bit of a steam over it, the whole way back unless someone wants to try talking to him.
OOC: If you guys aren't averse, we could probably do another timeskip by this point. I'm good if you are.

"Well, the Megatron in my universe transforms between his robot form, a two-headed dragon, a hand, a gargoyle, and a car-type thing." Yes, the hand sounds silly, but Sideburn can't help that!
OOC: Timeskipping is fine with me.

"Huh. Weird."
Bluestreak would normally have more to say in response to Sideburn's description of his universe's Megatron, but the news over the broadband has rendered him silent. Swerve and Sideburn will most likely enjoy a quiet trip back to base.
OOC: I'm fine with time-skipping.

OOC: Timeskip okay!
It's been just as long and lousy a drive back as it was out, but it's been surprisingly quiet. Swerve had to cut back on processes quite a while ago to keep himself steady – something else he isn't particularly happy about – but everyone else will probably benefit. Lucky them.
Honestly, he'd rather just go find himself a nice, long, empty, isolated stretch of road and go drive out his frustrations. Maybe take a bit of target practise on whatever he could find. He can pretend every rock he blasts to bits is Dead End's face. It'd be better than thinking of what he could do in the underground with that sort of forcefield tech.
Slag it all, he doesn't need any glitching Decepticon hardware!
//Brought the rookie and the lugnut back,// he announces very sourly. //Droppin' 'em off at the base.//

Sideburn starts to pull away when they get close to the part of the zoo where he first spotted Swerve from. "Kup suggested that I go meet with a guy named Perceptor in the main base, so I'm gonna head over that way. See you guys later?" He revs his engine and takes off towards the garage/base.
OOC: Sideburn posting out.

"Uh, Sideburn? Wait up. I want to talk to Perceptor too." And he follows the blue car out.
OOC: Bluestreak out.
