Dead End tilts his head at that, vaguely curious. "You were created during Galvatron's reign?"

Galvatron? He has never heard of anyone named that. Maybe he is this tiny robot's version of Galvatron? Whatever it may be, Lugnut nods as he listens, and once Mistwind is done he has quite an enthusiastic expression on his face. "Then allow me to tell you all about the great and glorious Megatron!"
The purple zealot makes a gesture not unlike how humans clear their throat...And then he proceeds to tell Mistwind all about his Megatron with tremendous zeal and enthusiasm, making sure that Mistwind will understand just why his Master is the one and only rightful leader of all Decepticons.

Answering Dead End, Mistwind shakes his head, "Are you crazy? How many cons would they create during that age? No! I came shipped and parceled!" He bounces up and down, "mechanical self sentient maintenance bot for space colonies and trading ships with a bit of fighting spirits on the side, this model was bought by other races for their aid" He taps his chest proudly, then shrugs, "but I sometimes saw other Decepticons... and thus heard of Galvatron; if he leads all Decepticons, he leads me, should I ever get an order; Logical"
Mistwind then listens intently to Lugnut, tilting his head, "I would... like to see recordings of the mighty Megatron?" Yeah, Lugnut, you'll have to settle for Mistwind to share Duskwing's titles.

"Oh, I've got a few." Blitzwing says, rummaging in subspace to try and find the small Holo emitter he uses to watch sci-fi movies in private. Finding it, he presses a few buttons to get it started and then another few to find the right holo pic, and then holds it at about Mistwinds eye height so he can see.
The image that comes up probably isn't the correct one though, as it depicts Megatron being shot in the back by Starscream. Blitzwing furrows his brow as he cycles to the next one, which shows Optimus Prime punching Megatron off his feet. The next is of Megatron being thrown about by an explosion.
Annoyed now, Blitzwing cycles through a few more, including one which has someone drawing a moustache one Megatron while he sleeps. Finally he comes across one of Megatron striking a heroic pose.
"There, that's Megatron. Or at least the Megatron that Lugnut means."

Ah, he doesn't mind. Plenty of time to make them see the glory of Megatron!
If Blitzwing doesn't screw up their respect for Megatron first, that is. An angry hissing sound starts to escape him with each picture that Blitzwing shows, until he finally reaches the last one, which admittedly is quite impressive. But it's not enough to wash out the bad taste of the other ones. "Bah! Your Megatron is pathetic to allow things like these to happen! Observe, the glory of my own Megatron!"
Lugnut activates his own holo-emitter and starts to play a slideshow of his own. Megatron in the middle of the front lines, dual wielding swords while fighting high ranking Autobots, giving rallying speeches to his troops...And then pictures of his time on Earth, showing how he went from a disembodied head to an even more powerful body thanks to the power of the Allspark key, killing Starscream with said key, beating the slag out of Optimus Prime inside the newly crashed Ark.
And for good measure: A picture of him talking to the Constructicons while holding an oil drum crushed into the shape of a wine glass. After all, the great and glorious Megatron is sophisticated as well! "Behold, the only Megatron worthy of the name and the only one who is destined to rule over Cybertron and all Decepticons!"

Shuffling closer to Blitzwing, Mistwind takes in the images, not withholding some giggles at the shots because they are funny! "oooooh" he gasps at the pose, clearly impressed. Then Lugnut butts in with his shots, and yeah, most definitely Mistwind is much more impressed, and perhaps even frightened of this Megatron. Still, he stands deep in thought for a moment, thinking, then, he points at Lugnut, "Lugnut sir, your Megatron looks very strong and powerfull, I think I respect him even though I never met him"
But then he points at Blitzwing, "But I think that your Megatron, Blitzwing Sir, knows how to hold massive damage and remain to function, and can stand with great resilience. ....and he gives way to humor, which makes good morale!"
Propping hands behind his head, elbows in the air, giving both a grin, "Indeed! One is Glorious, but the other, is definitely Mighty!" Uh, Mistwind? They're Cons, they probably want you to take sides, at least, Lugnut would. Alright then, "But both aren't here, pity" There ya go.

Jetstorm flits over, peering at the different displays. Well, his Megatron looks like a pile of annoying scrap in comparison to these.
"I like that one," he declares, pointing at the Megatron displayed by Lugnut, "He's sophisticated. Classy. And, to use the word that our big Lug... Nut here uses, quite Glorious." The Vehicon seems to be smirking, and in a good way.

Dead End glares impassively at Blitzwing from behind his visor and mask. Really, he had no business mocking the Stunticon's creator like that!
One brief radio exchange with Hook later1, Dead End commented, "Ah yes, I have some images that might help clarify things for Lugnut".
Detaching his own video screen from whatever compartment it was folded away in, Dead End shows Lugnut images of Blitzwing and Astrotrain being quite merciless thrashed by his Megatron 2. The next image shows Menasor thrashing Bruticus, with Megatron standing nearby, obviously in command. 3. Sequence #3 shows Megatron holding the hapless Starscream by his neck and ripping out circuitry from the Seeker's cockpit 4. Sequence #4 shows Blitzwing and Astrotrain crowning Starscream.
Dead End skips that sequence forward a few minutes, rather than switching to another one, to show Galvatron transforming into a cannon and incinerating Starscream, followed by Blitzwing being the first to hail Galvatron as the new leader. 5

Cannonball, like some of the others has been watching from the back. "I'm wit' Jetstorm. Lugnut's Megatron seems like my kinna mech. 'Owever, since we're sharing..." Cannonball says, pulling out his own holo-emitter, and pulls up a video of the Megatron of his universe calmly smacking around Autobots, and following said physical beatdown with bolts of lightning from his fingers.

Blitzwing turns on dead end, arms crossed with an annoyed grimace on his face. "Nice slide show, you morose slag heap. Too bad some its been doctored. Astrotrain crowned Starscream. I wasn't even up there with them. I cheered Galvatron because it appeared to be the popular thing, even you deemed it the right thing to do." He says, annoyance clear in his voice.
He'd also correct Dead End about exactly what happened in that fight, but he sees no need to blow his own horn, though if Dead End brings it up again he'll show the little oil stain why exactly he managed to last against Astrotrain, Megatron, Starscream and even Devastator for as long as he did.

Dead End gives Blitzwing a long silent stare. "It's the angle, Blitzwing. I wasn't directly in front--that's where Cyclonus and Galvatron landed. You were next to the dais."
"Pity Galvatron turned into a complete lunatic."

Duskwing just twists his head back and forth, listening with his mouth half-open like he's about to say something, but never quite getting the words out before someone else does something to change his mind about what he wants to say.
Finally, he blurts out, "Huh? Who's Galvatron?"

"Where I be comin' from, Galvatron is some kinna weird personality change Megatron takes on when he gets stronger." He shakes his head, taking his holo-emitter back. "Don't make no sense t' me. Jack up yer strength and get a new coat o' paint, an' suddenly he thinks he's a different 'bot. He's done it twice already, and is back t' bein' Megatron fer th' third time, so they say."

Starscream looks ready to begin his speech, but a growing commotion toward the back of the crowd causes both leaders to look for the source. Shockwave lifts a bit off the ground, scanning for the cause. Hrmph. They seem to be sharing vids of some sort, and Lugnut is going on- as usual- about his Glorious Megatron.
A look passes between the two leaders, Starscream giving a faint nod. Such a pity, Shockwave thinks, At times, we do seem quite in synch.
He raises a bit higher on his lifters, takes careful aim, and disintegrates Cannonball's holo-emitter. He may have scorched the pirate's hand in the doing, but no real harm done.
Trusting that such an action should get the attention of even the most feeble minded, Shockwave drops gently back down, giving Starscream a nod to go ahead when ready.

Starscream smiles. Shockwave and him might not meet optic-to-optic(s) on everything, but damn if he isn't professional.
"If I may have your attention," he asks, as humbly as he can.
