//Hey, Starscream, been thinking on the Nebulans thing. Really, the best 'story' would be pretty much the truth. They're aliens that enlisted with the Decepticons when the Autobots dragged the war to their planet. We just don't mention the bit about how the Autobots were looking for peace or whatever in the process.//
//The problem is, you called them 'survivors.' That... doesn't fit. What're the odds that we can get you to 'discover' that they're not locals some point down the road, maybe just claim you had made an assumption when you met them with us?//

//...Fine. We stick with the logic that they were reluctant to reveal themselves. It's the only way I can justify everything else.//

//Hey, Starscream, given your new policy and all, there's really something you need to know. It kind of sort of has to do with one of the ways you died in my reality.//
One of the ways.
//But at least once when you went out, you took a lot of other Decepticons with you. This isn't you, you, of course, but if we're expected to tell newcomers about how they died, well, informing someone, 'Oh, yeah, Starscream killed you,' is the sort of thing that breeds resentment against a leader, if you catch my meaning.//

//...Point taken, Needlenose.// A morbid curiosity overwhelmed Starscream. //...who did I kill?//

//Erm... the overwhelming majority of both factions' Earth-based forces? Pretty much everyone who wasn't binary bonded to a Nebulan or was a Pretender.//

//Oh!// Needlenose laughs. //You didn't lead! You were second in command. Actually, the leader was... well... actually... Ratbat.//
//Not sure I can remember the exact list. There were a lot of them. I mean, you got the other jets, and the Seacons, and the Predacons, and the triple-changers...//
//I may be missing some, though.//

//So this 'Ratbat' person and I successfully all but wiped out the Cybertronian presence on earth?//
Starscream certainly didn't mind death if he could go out with THAT as his final impact. Especially since it was only a matter of time before he could get better again!

//Naw. Told you. Everyone with an organic component made it through. And that makes up quite a bit of the forces these days.//
