The small general leans forward in the air, confused a bit, "You mean there are Megatrons out there that haven't conquered Cybertron?" he asks. "My boss may have been a jerk but I think that's a point in his favor, huh?"
He peers around, trying to find someplace safe to rest. Lugnut is getting loud. Counterpunch is... Weird. And Blackout is pointy. He looks a bit antsy for a few moments.
"Megatron is Cybertron where I came from," he says.

All Spark slag it Hellbender, that chair is his! Still, what he says is interesting to the purple zealot, that optic contracting briefly in one of his odd 'blinks'. "And this is the same Shockwave that currently leads us? Or yet another different one? Bah, at least the one I know seems to be unique!" Still, if Shockwave is even slightly similar to the one that Hellbender knows...Then maybe he is worthy of Lugnut's respect after all.
Lugnut turns briefly to Counterpunch, only growling and responding with a quick "Shut up, infidel!" before the other big Decepticon got his attention. Oooh, this one has quite a mouth on him, doesn't he? "What a great act, conquering a planet he already controlled! Did he have to reassure himself of his superiority?"
Oh yeah, he went there. And because just that is not enough: "My Master had nothing when he started, but soon he had an army that sent Autobots running to the corners of the planet! They knew about us, but still they were no match for the might of the Great Decepticon army, and the brilliant mind of the glorious Megatron! Your Megatron is a mere snarling beast that realized how stupid the Autobots are, and one who abandoned his army to pursue his own goals!" That last part he especially said with venom. Yes, his own Megatron went into hiding, but at least he had the means to stay in contact with his army!
Note: Just to be clear, he has been looking through the databases.

Lugnut can go get his own chair. Hellbender likes this one, it let him sit comfortably in spite of the big wing-like shell-shrouds hanging off his back.
Hellbender frowns, wondering how soon this "discussion" is going to devolve into a brawl of Lugnut vs everyone else. Considering that "everyone else" includes him, Blitzwing and Blackout, Lugnut's going to get pounded.
"Well, this here Shockwave isn't exactly the same as the Shockwave as created me--he's got a different history, but he's physically the same, far as I can tell. Just as strong, and mebbe a bit more stable.... more dangerous, even," Hellbender drawls. "Ah've heard tell that our Shockwave here took over all Cybertron and had both 'Cons and 'Bots taking his orders. It's why he doesn't wear the 'Con sigil--he were the boss of everyone, not just Cons."

Okay, some of that previous stuff was questionably insulting, but that? That's a definite.
"Who're you telling to shut up?!" Counterpunch roars, leaping at Lugnut.
It's not even close to a match. Counterpunch is going to get pounded, and bad.
He just doesn't care.

Blackout's response to Lugnut's outburst is...silence. This, to anyone who knows him, is a bad sign. Of course, anyone who knows him also knows that those panels on his arms that are slowly sliding open hide his Gatling guns.
"Either your audials or your memory circuits are defective," Blackout replies. Which is about all he has time to say before Counterpunch leaps at the purple zealot, but Blackout sees that as little reason to stop.
"I never stated that my Lord Megatron conquered anything. Your Megatron resorted to trickery, whereas mine stated his goals openly, allowing the Autobots to build their petty resistance, and was still victorious. And as for 'abandoning' his army," Blackout adds, "the Autobots sentenced Cybertron to death when they launched the Allspark into space. Lord Megatron is among the few of us capable of interstellar travel without a ship. In order to make Cybertron thrive again, he had no choice but to give chase, or risk losing it forever. Would you prefer he stay for a few small military victories and condemn our entire race to oblivion?"

"Did he ever explain how that worked, Hellbender? He must have been dodging assassination attempts every second day, and that'd just be from the Autobots." Blitzwing asks, swiveling his seat to face Hellbender.
Blitzwing could care less about the brawl breaking out. He'll only get involved if someone decides to take a swing at him or they look like they're going to bring the roof down, or puncture the hull if things get really out of hand.

Jetstorm veers himself away from the fight and darts up to the steel bars that are part of the ceiling and perches there. He does not want to risk getting into an unnecessary fight!
But he can sure watch and comment, "Just don't blow a hole in the wall, we're in space," he drawls.

Having sunk into a silent statue, Mistwind is paying close attention, but otherwise keeping himself synchronised with the background.

Aside from the satisfaction of telling that annoying glitch head to shut up, Lugnut didn't really pay much attention to Counterpunch, instead listening to Hellbender. He even is about to admit that Shockwave does sound like a capable commander who is worthy of leading without Megatron around, when he sees a certain carbot charge him from one of his side optics.
As quick as he can Lugnut grabs his hammer and turns around, the weapon trailing behind him before he swings it forward with tremendous force, the clamps preventing it from slipping loose as he aims right for Counterpunch. "BE SILENT!"
Sorry Blackout, but he seems a bit too preoccupied for now.

Hellbender frowns slightly at Blitzwing. "Ah don't rightly know, Blitzwing. Ah figure he did it Decepticon-style--fooled 'em into thinking he was gonna bring peace and prosperity until it was too late. Autobots love that stuff; Ah've heard tell that Optimus Prime would actually b'lieve Megatron's promises to leave in peace if only Prime would do some one thing, on account of he wanted peace so bad."
Hellbender pauses for half an instant. "Hell, he probably did bring 'em peace and prosperity--Bots are actually kinda productive when they're not wasting resources fightin' all the time."
"Dunno 'bout assasinations. He's kinda touchy about Micromasters, so you might have something there."
Then Counterpunch just has to go and attack Lugnut. Hellbender rises to his feet, saying, "Aww, hell! CP, you jest might want to lay off the ener-caffe there, 'cause that were just stupid."

If Counterpunch hasn't attacked anyone before now, it's because he hasn't hung out with other people for long enough for them to really torque him off. Being confined on a ship changes that up a bit.
Counterpunch doesn't respond to Hellbender because hey. Busy here. He is hit in the side of the head by Lugnut's hammer, however, that sends him sprawling towards Blackout. Whether he hits Blackout or the floor, however, he spends his time shaking his head, growling, "Not... gonna be bossed around... by some idiot know nothing... Megatron shouter like you..." He starts to pull himself unsteadily to his feet, and looks like he's getting ready to lunge again.
This guy does not learn!

Whether Blackout is more annoyed at being ignored or at having a carbot bounce off of him is hard to say, especially since Counterpunch isn't quite heavy enough to knock Blackout over from a sitting position. That tail boom jutting down from his back has its uses.
What is not hard to say is that there's a telltale blue glow inside his torso as he charges his EM pulse generator. He'd certainly enjoy feeding Lugnut a missile or two about now, but Blackout is still in his Terran alt form, leaving him at a severe disadvantage if they blow the hull open. (Not to mention, he'd have to listen to that annoying jet again.)
The Pave Low reaches out an arm to grab for Counterpunch's shoulder, both trying to steady him and stop him from charging again. The other arm points a heavy finger at Lugnut. "Stand down, you overbearing pile of slag. We do not have the spare resources for careless brawling."
Was that perhaps the wrong way to phrase that to the short-tempered zealot? Probably. Blackout hasn't forgotten about the holographic training rooms, after all.

Blitzwing turns slightly in his chair, just so that he can get a look at whats going on the corner of his eye. He also reaches for, but doesn't draw, his gyro rifle. Bieng able to throw somones sense of balance off so badly that they fall on thier face has more uses than just bieng an icebreaker at parties.
"Hey, no brawls in the lounge. Go rip each others optics out in the sim chamber while the adults have a friendly conversation." He says. Its not exactly a threat, but certainly hints at beign bale to become one if they don't stop.

Jetstorm just leans back and watches. This is going to be good if it continues and they ignore Blitzwing.

Okay, the car is getting up for another attack, and now the big jigsaw puzzle seems to be firing up an attack of his own. Yup, in Lugnut's eyes, the next action is justified. As soon as Blackout lifts his finger Lugnut bends his arm, a hatch on his elbow popping open and starting to burn with the intensity of a jet engine. A dangerous whine fills the room as it burns with increasing intensity before he suddenly punches the ground between him and the helicopter and carbot, throwing all of his upper body weight into the attack... For a micro second nothing happens, but then an explosion shaped like a perfect dome starts 'unfolding' from Lugnut's arm, increasing in intensity, and the occupants of the room will soon find a wall of fire coming right for them!There's just one annoying tidbit that the aggressive zealot forgot, however: They're in a spaceship. This will not end well. OOC: If requested I can edit, naturally.
