[It isn't often Megatron decides to post to the network, but the darkened expression presents quite a different air to initial plea for cooperation he'd posted sometime back.]

I've seen what we can do when we put our efforts together. We've built a home out of ruin, a meager spark of civilization on the graveyard of our predecessors.

But there are still threats to the existence we've carved here. Cybertronians who are stuck in the past and seek to inflict violence where none is needed. 

[He steps back to allow a better view of the space around him.]

Tarn is bound on his knees on what could be identified as a slightly elevated platform in front of the Decepticon stronghold. Megatron wanted to be sure whoever was nearby would see what was about to undergo. Even if he didn't particularly plan on broadcasting the entire grisly execution over the network, it was clear enough what was about to occur here.]

[He steps to the ex-Decepticon's side, the red-hot edge of a makeshift (but oddly well-crafted) blade hovering next to his mask.]

I'm sure you're all aware of Tarn. He has taken it upon himself to torture our allies to the point of near death, something he seems particularly fond of doing. He's broken the pact he's made with our faction, and sought to destroy the peace we've built on this planet numerous times.

He has been given many chances to redeem himself, but squandered them in favor of engorging on his own thirst for blood. He will be punished accordingly as fitting of his crime. Let us hope this will not be necessary again.

[And from there the video goes to black, though it doesn't click off completely. He'll be letting Sixshot deal with whatever responses people feel the need to send. He was never one to completely close off all ties.]

[Tarn doesn’t look up as Megatron begins speaking. He didn’t expect this outcome; not with the Megatron that he has been living with for these past months. This Megatron is angry and cunning and downright murderous. Not all all the passive, peaceful medic who he has become familiar with. To be honest it’s everything that he had hoped for previously. If only it wasn’t directed towards him. Perhaps a slap on the wrist was thinking a bit too optimistically, but execution? Never did he see that being the outcome of his little incident.]

[Seeing Sixshot in his peripheral sends a twist of something through his tanks. Betrayal? Sadness? Anger? Whatever it is, it has Tarn turning his face up, towards the Deceptions. He can feel the heated blade against his plating.]

I hadn’t thought that it would come to this Megatron. You are learning, it seems.
