I don't.

And I feel like it would be wrong of me to tell it to you, since it involves another bot who may or may not appreciate their past connection to me being brought up.

It's, well... kind of a long story.

I'm not saying that you have to talk to me, Starscream.

I meant that if you ever felt the need to—for whatever reason that might be—you can do so without it having to be accompanied by a taunt.

Talk to me. Just like we are now.

Thank you for the heads up.

You can get my attention without the need for shenanigans.

Thank you!👍

Thank you for the song, even if the aim of it was to antagonize me.

And seriously, Starscream?

Setting up Halloween decor at the Autobot base is allowed—and even encouraged.

However, it would be much appreciated if the spider themed props would be kept at a minimum.

Acknowledged. I will pass on the message.

And on the other side of the room, near the energon dispensers, he could see a familiar looking fridge with various images attached to its front with magnets. Optimus' optical ridges rose in surprise.]

Huh...

Steering into an unknown room in the Decepticon base. In order to avoid crashing into the nearby furniture, Optimus transformed back to his root form, holding Alice securely in his servo before doing a flip over the long table in the middle.]

This is... the refueling area?

[Optimus looked around—

[Optimus was glad he was in his alt-mode, because the bright grin on his face would've been too visible otherwise. The firetruck weaved and sped through the corridors with a rush of thrill coursing through his lines.]

[When Megatron stomped near Optimus, the Prime took a sharp turn to his right —

I know you're strong, I wouldn't doubt that for a second.

But whatever has gotten you to this point must feel heavy on your frame.

[Optimus took a seat right next to Megatron, his thigh almost touching the gray mech.]

I'm here, so let me take some of that load off of you.

What's wrong?

[Optimus came to a halt by Megatron’s side, standing there in silence for a moment as he took a glance at the broken Warlord. Even though he couldn't see much of Megatron’s face, it was evident that the gray mech had been crying from the smeared fluids under his optics and the static in his vox.]—

A computer virus has seemingly gained a sentience and a body of its own with the help of an Allspark fragment.

And now it has killed humans for the sake of its experiments.

It must be destroyed.

Was alright first before they could move somewhere safe from the forest.]

Take it easy Rodimus... [Optimus said in an attempt to soothe the other Prime as he removed worst of the debris from Rodimus' frame and seams.]

Are you hurt? Can you move? [The Prime asked, and he wanted to ask much more, but he knew those questions could come later. He had to make sure Rodimus —

This looks interesting, and also well drawn!

Put this instead

I swear I don't know what this is.

After all that banging and noise, I suppose it'd be a waste not to at least try it...?

I'll be there soon.

Truly astounding.

Fireblast what are you doing?!

Where's the drawing of you I made

Alright, I'll trust your word Halk.

Alright, but I must know one thing.

Who is going to hear it?

Hello,

I apologize for the sudden contact, but this is something that has become incredibly urgent.

Do you happen to have any experience with... sentient viruses?

I uhh

Must I really?

I mean, surely someone else could do a batter bark impression than me?
