Video: A formal call to the Decepticons of this lovely city

[aminerproblem]

I've been told time and time again that this war is over, but I have yet to see it beyond a tolerance teetering on a knife's edge between episodes of unnecessary, extreme violence. We can do better than this - we can do better than wallowing in our circumstance.

To the Decepticons here who still follow my word: If you can hear this, now is the time for you to break out of this malaise and act. I am in need of your skills, and we've remained scattered in this rubble for far too long. 

We, of all of us here, should understand how to build something grand from nothing.

It is time we take that first step. 

(Private To Sixshot)
Sixshot, how skilled are you at tracking someone's scent?

(Private To Spinister.)
Spinister, I am in need of a medical advisor. It is important you come to the Autobot clinic immediately.

I'm certain the Senate would have said the same.

[He's so happy to learn that his faction is so full of BABIES and QUITTERS.]

There is a purpose, but it'd be ill-advised to go espousing the details over a public network.

And you are?

The Senate was a fair-weathered friend to what they believed they could regulate. Was.

[ Oh. Oh. Forgive him, Megatron - he almost failed to notice the hazard paint and oil stains. Bluntly, he replies. ]

I...am Shockwave.

[Shockwave - as in Senator Shockwave?]

[There's a distinct pause from him upon realizing the implication behind his drastic change in appearance. The edge is taken off his tone.]

I understand if you feel skeptical of what I'm trying to accomplish here, but I have no interest in spurring any unneeded conflict. Surely you can see the advantage of bringing our resources together.

[ Proteus could have just taken a sharpie and drawn dicks on his face but noooo ]

It's not your objectives I'm skeptical about. Quite the opposite, in fact. I approve.

I'm aware that not everyone will be so eager to join in the effort, Shockwave. At least, not at first. I imagine we'll need to get something up and running before then.

But there's more to this than pontificating.
