//We're in some sort of swamp, it looks a little like one of those places you find in South America on Earth. There's a few structures here, but they've been abandoned for a while now. Haven't seen any flat areas like what you're talking about, nothing but mud and trees and more mud.//
Demolishor stays quiet and lets Fleetwind talk to the other newcomer. More crazy people had arrived on the planet, obviously.
OOC: Can I take this time to say that Cannonball is made of win and piratey goodness?

//Demolishor: Dead End has previously stated that you're likely either generally east or west of us. Given that west of us is grass, more grass, and water and not mud or what you call 'trees,' you're probably east of us. Should you care to join up with us, I recommend you travel generally west until you make your way out of the, erm, trees and mud. However, we're currently filled up on leaders, so if you're looking to be in charge of something, you should probably head in a different direction instead.//

Demolishor...there's a name Cannonball had ne'er heard in his travels. At least, not that he could recall.
//M' name be Cannonball, captain of the Sea Slag, loyal to meself, and tae Megatron, on occaision, ye blightah. 'O's askin'?//
The inquiry of a timestamp was met with a transmission that would put him before the events of the Cybertron series started.
---------------------------------- Mmm, slight fourth-wall breaking.
And thankie, Demolishor. Yes, you may say that. =)

//Hunter-Seeker Fleetwind speaking, of Decepticon Air Command. The short version: a number of Transformers from different points in time and, indeed, different realities entirely, are being deposited here by an unknown force for unknown reasons. We don't know the long version. Not every Transformer pulled to this world is a Decepticon,// Fleetwind paused, remembering Sky-Byte, //or, erm, "Predacon," and there is at least one very powerful, very dangerous Autobot on this planet. I don't know whether the name "Omega Supreme" means anything to you or not, but if it doesn't, rest assured, it will.
//As near as we can tell, no version of Megatron has been pulled here, but the majority of the Decepticons present recognize the leadership of Starscream, and we are attempting to organize for mutual survival. Your primary options are to join with us, or to rot alone, although there may be possibilities I've missed.// What Fleetwind did not add was that placing one's ultimate loyalty to oneself is... a pretty common Decepticon trait. This was mostly because he felt it went without saying, but also because one way his loyalty to himself was expressed was in a desire not to give Air Commander Starscream reason to shoot him.
//When you've made your decision, please let me know.//
He absently wondered if he should start firing if the answer was, "I'll go it alone."
OOC: Hey, Cannonball, for those of us who aren't familiar with Cybertron, can you give us a rough timeframe for when the start of the series is when translated into human time, or do they even tell you in the show?

//I don't know this guy either, for the record. And I'll figure out leadership later, I'm just the one who's leading the group that's over with me until we meet up with the rest of you. We'll head west after the storm blows over.//
You know, like anyone cares. //And if we're going by times, I'm from 2010.//
OOC: Armada takes place in 2010. Energon is ten years after, putting it at 2020, and Cybertron supposedly takes place ten years after that (although after the Grand Black Hole and the resulting time-messing-with, you could also put Cybertron a bit earlier. Either way, it's most likely past everyone else's time period.

//Omega Supreme, who's that? I've heard of an Omega Prime, but...// Sky-byte stops to shiver. Eugh, as much as he would rather not have Optimus Prime here, it would be worse if his angst-ridden, ornery brother had arrived here as well.
He gives his time-stamp reluctantly. It places him just a few hours after 'losing' Dr. Oniishi, and probably few hours before a beating.

Fleetwind paused to consider how to properly describe the Guardian Robot. Finally he settled on, // Omega Supreme is a single Autobot with the power of a five or six robot gestalt-team in combined mode. // He didn't stop to think that maybe all universes don't have gestalt teams! // When he is not a robot, he is a rather large tank, a full defense base, and a rocket. At once. He is also someone to be taken very seriously. //
Of course, Fleetwind had yet to see these two strangers yet. Maybe they're both Decepticons with the power of Omega Supreme! If that proved to be the case, no doubt Fleetwind would choose to throw in his lot with Demolishor, after all! But the energy requirements of a robot that size made it unlikely.

The rain was of little significance to the well-traveled pirate, having seen many forms of it.
As for the lack of Megatron, and the situation, Cannonball gave it a quick thought. If he was on his own, he could wind up quite outnumbered, but joining up for convenience could work out... May not have Megatron here, but his encounters with the Starscream he did know seemed to make him a reasonable fellow, despite his reputation among other Decepticons. A grin crosses his face as he listens to the banter.
//Ach...I donna know of any gestalts, but 'e does sound like some of them blokes on Gigantion. They's pacifistic, though, from wot ah kin recall...
I do s'pose I'll join with ye blokes ...ah, Fleetwind, were it? Be ye anywhere around...uh...an enormous grassy area?//

// Well, Omega Supreme is certainly no pacifist. And Cannonball: you're actually already in my sight. Fly east until you spot either a metal road or a group of buildings. If it's the road you find first, follow that in a generally eastern direction until you get to the group of buildings. You should reach us shortly. //

Starscream's radio is back on, you lucky things!
//Attention, all Decepticons!" He pauses. "Hmm, and miscellanous. In three hundred standard astroseconds we will be departing for extra fuel reserves. You can meet us at the co-ordinates we have given you to join us, or you can not. The choice is yours.

//Not happening, Starscream, and it's not a matter of choice either. We're way too far out to get to you in time, plus there's a storm coming. Are you moving towards us or away from us?//

Let's try it one more time, shall we, kiddies?
//I'm feeling reasonable. Let's only make it one term: You work for me. Now, you have your directions, and I await your answer when we arrive.//
