robothell | What the hecky happened

Who: Optimus and YOU!
Where: Anywhere from Red Alert's Clinic to wandering around
When: Before Sentinel and Megatron/Rodimus log
What: Optimus finding out just what went down while he was gone from various people, or if they need to talk to him about anything.
Warnings: None

The trip wasn't a complete loss, that's for sure. Optimus has somehow contacted the planet, and while it was rather vague, he found out quite a bit about their mission here. Way more than he would have just grasping at proverbial straws. The objective, however, wouldn't be easy. In its own way, Cybertron had told him that they had to work together, that they had to get along.

You can already see what's wrong with this equation, and to be honest, it left Optimus feeling a little doubtful on his return.

Speaking of his return. That's a thing that happened, and right now he's trying to gather his bearings for being gone for....oh...a week at most.

You can find him all over, scouting around for anyone who might be around to ask for information. But if you need him first--well...he stands out, at least.

Threaded | Flat

Slipstream has no idea what's going on, who Optimus is, or if she has any information of use for him, but she does squint at him from her considerable height. He looks weirdly familiar-- like a blockier version of that little Autobot truck fellow-- but red is such a common color for his sort.

Should she approach him? She has no idea! No one else has seemed too bothered by her, which is somewhere between "nice" and "kind of annoying" (she would prefer to be imposing, honestly). Still...

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, as the Humans would say, and she went straight towards him after examining him for a few seconds more.

"You look like an Autobot I once shot at," she introduces herself, because if there's one thing she's known for it's her excellent social skills and grace.

Pipes doesn't need to find Optimus. Pipes just wants to talk to him again. The second he sees the giant red bot walking down a street, the minibot immediately rockets over to him. He's clearly way too over excited, but whatever. He's not self-aware enough to realise that just yet.

"Optimus Prime, sir!" He salutes, again. "It's been--" several weeks? He's lost track of time. "A while. Have you been okay?"

Yes, ask the Autobot leader if he's okay. Fuck, Pipes is so excited.

Even if he weren't an obnoxious firetruck red, Sixshot would have still spotted Optimus a mile away. You didn't forget a mech who punched in your hyper-dense chest armor plating after all.

He doesn't really make it a point to go after Optimus though.

The six-former kind of just... lazily blocks the pathway the Prime might be heading down with his big canine self. You know. Totally unintentionally.

He's not really alone, either.

For the most part, he's being followed. When you come back to find the place basically on fire, it's impossible not to feel a little paranoid. More than a little paranoid. So he's keeping close to Optimus, and trying not to be painfully obvious about it.

... Trying.

Because this is Ironhide we're talking about. Let's be honest. He's about as stealthy as a boot to the head.

After dealing with the shark-face Megatron, Starscream had taken to further exploring. Megs, the creepy version, did say there were many Autobots about. And a few Decepticons but he could catch up with that later. He wanted to know just who all was here, because certain Autobots could be useful.

... Though he should have expected Optimus Prime. Why not? At least this was something he could deal with, even if he didn't want to. The frame looks familiar so he's just going to assume he's the same as the one he knows.

He circles once overhead in jetmode before landing off to the side of Prime.

"At least I have found the great Autobot savior. That is what they call you, isn't it?"

Yeah, there was quite a bit of sarcasm in that statement.
