"Odd..." a confused voice muttered. The last thing Silverbolt remembered was Optimus introducing him to his new found Maximal comrades. And now he's trapped amongst some bizarre rocks. "Perhaps, this is a Predacon trap," Silverbolt says, quickly sniffing around the rock in hopes of finding a Predacon stench. "And yet there are no traces of Predacon to be found. Hmm...."
After a minute of thought, Silverbolt decides to give his comrades a call. Hopefully they were not in the same predicament that he is.

Slingshot gets assigned to watch the meteor-rocks a lot. Given that Slingshot is a surly, unpleasant teenager who generally snaps at everyone who isn't a flier, First Aid, or Kup, this isn't surprising.
Or maybe it is. After all, it means he's there when they've got new arrivals.
At the sound of someone moving among the rocks, Slingshot grunts and wanders over to take a look. "Name and-" Ohai, radio call from their new guest. "-Skip the name. Time-stamp and show yourself."
This person doesn't sound anything like Silverbolt, but maybe he's like Holi's Perceptor. Not quite the same but right in all the ways that matter.

Hopefully, Slingshot won't be too surprised to find out that this Silverbolt doesn't look anything like his Silverbolt either. Instead he'll see a silver figure, a little bit taller than a human, flying towards him.
"Time stamp?" Silverbolt begins, confused at the sound of the unfamiliar voice. Perhaps another Maximal he had not yet met.. "I'm not sure what...you..."
Silverbolt's yellow optics widen at the sight of the huge mech in front of him. "Ahem-," Silverbolt coughs, regaining composure. This strange robot hasn't attacked him yet, so he must be somewhat friendly. "I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by time stamp, stranger. And, forgive me for asking but, but...you are a Maximal, correct?"

... Uh.
One of those cracks Slingshot heard someone make about Skyblast looking like Skyfire got shrunk in the wash? Yeah. So going through his head right now.
Slingshot can't help the snort of laughter. "Maximal? Hell no! I'm an Autobot."

"An Autobot?" Silverbolt repeated, his eyebrow raised, not quite seeing the humor of the situation. From what he knew of the Autobots, they were the ancestors of him and his fellow Maximals. Though no one ever mentioned whether they were still around or not..."So, you are an ally, then. Then perhaps you can tell me where I am and if my fellow Maximals are here as well."

Slingshot crouches down to get a better look at Silverbolt, poking curiously at one of his wings. "Are those feathers? What do you even turn into?"
Maximal, Maximal, he's heard that before... "Yeah, we've got a Maximal. Botanica. She's in First Aid's division. Big calla-lily lady."
"Time-stamp," he adds. "You know. What time and date was it when you left wherever you were before?"
---
Feel free to give the time-stamp in terms of "[at the end of X episode]" or whatever.

"Botanica?" Silverbolt asks. "I do not know of a Botanica. As for my beast mode..."
Silverbolt transforms into his odd, yet valiant looking alternate form of a winged wolf with eagle talons for his front legs.
"I believe it was an error on my stasis pod that caused my beast mode to become a fusion of two different animals," Silverbolt explains. "But, I have no complaints with it."
Once Slingshot explains what exactly a time stamp is, Silverbolt gives him a time set a little bit after the events of Coming of the Fuzors Part 2.

"Uh. What is that?" Yeah, Silverbolt did just explain about being a fused version of two animals. So? "Can you even fly or are those wings just there to look pretty?"
Clearly, this is much more important than explaining to Silverbolt what's going on.

"Well, of course I can fly!" Silverbolt announces, launching off of the ground and swooping back and forth through the air before grounding himself once more.
"Silverbolt, Maximize!" he shouted, converting himself back to robot mode. "As for my beast mode, I'm not quit sure what to call it, though the common nickname seems to be bird-dog."

"You can't fly very fast," Slingshot points out, sounding a little smug. Although that is totally not bad looking, as weird alien flying went.
"Bird-dog, eh? Well, can't be weirder than a Transformer who turns into a plant." So saying, Slingshot stands up and stretches.

"Um, alright?" Silverbolt replies, not quite understanding why the jet felt the need to insult his flight capabilities. With a raised metal eyebrow at the mention of transforming plants, Silverbolt remembers that he still has no idea where he is and why he's talking to a giant smug Autobot jet.
"If you wouldn't mind, could you tell me where I am?" Silverbolt asks. "And perhaps how I arrived here, as well."

Oh, right, that stuff.
"You're on the Event Horizon because of those." Slingshot gestures at the rocks. Well, rocks is stretching it, since they're mostly metal. "Those are pieces of Cybertron. No one knows why you're here, but now you are, so if you don't like it, tough."
Slingshot should perhaps develop a better briefing method.

While the Aerialbot's attitude was starting to irritate Silverbolt ever so slightly, he didn't show it too much.
"Thanks," Silverbolt says dryly."Who leads this ship, if I may ask?"

Silverbolt would be in the running for sainthood if Slingshot's attitude didn't regularly annoy him.
"Emirate Xaaron's the leader of the Autobots. And the Maximals," Slingshot adds, sounding like it's an after-thought. "Rodimus Prime is second-in-command, and Kup's in charge of Security. Which means, bird-dog, you're going to be talking to him so he can debrief you and figure out where you belong. Got it?"

This bot was more abrasive than Rattrap.
"Yes, of course," Silverbolt nods, flying off. After a second of thought, he turns around and speaks to the irritable Aerialbot once more. "A word of advice, friend. If you are to welcome any other new comers to the Event Horizon, then you may want to actually make them feel welcome."
And at that, Silverbolt soars off to find Kup.
