[ INTRO LOG ]
You don't know how you got here. One minute you were walking, sleeping, maybe dead -- then you're here, your feet suddenly carrying you down an empty street. Where's here?
Any Cybertronian would recognize this as their home planet, Cybertron, but it's not a Cybertron they've ever known. It has all the familiar hallmarks, but none of the specifics -- the city isn't one anyone here could identify, and even at a glance it's obvious that no one's set foot on the planet's surface in hundreds of years. The city and its surrounding areas all bear the marks of devastating war, of dust and rust collected over centuries. With no one in sight -- right at first, anyway -- there's plenty to explore. In fact, if you start walking, you'll find that your feet may just carry you in one particular direction.
A) The crater.
On one edge of the city is a massive crater left by some wartime weapon that seems to have taken out a large chunk of the surrounding metropolitan area. At the center of the crater it's broken through the surface of the terrain to reveal what looks like it might be a promising energon deposit. There is some strange but native vegetation growing around the edges, too, that no Cybertronian would be able to identify -- small, metallic, brittle-looking sprouts that bear a curiously organic-looking fruit of some kind that doesn't look like it's intended for consumption by any natives of the planet. In one rocky nook of the crater, light catches on the surface of a pool of water, which seems strangely out of place on Cybertron. On closer inspection, it seems that somehow an underground water source has formed a spring in the crater.
B) The center of the city.
If you follow where your feet seem to want to carry you, you'll find yourself in the middle of the ruined city. It seems that the center of the city was once home to a massive forum, and some of the pillars and structures still stand. At the very center of the forum is a massive, elaborately constructed fountain, although it has now long since run dry of whatever used to fill it. One of the low, inner walls of the forum has a terminal embedded in its surface, although it looks curiously ancient, out of place with the rest of the city, and unlike the rest of the technology still left around, there doesn't seem to be any way to power it on or operate it. There are a few scattered pools of water and a few of the strange metallic plants in the city, too, but they're not quite as plentiful as in the crater.
The planet was obviously once home to a massive network of communication relays, but those have all been long since destroyed. However, with the bits and pieces left behind and a few determined minds, it wouldn't be too hard to build a working, if rudimentary, one...

One of the punches catches him off-guard, and he stumbles back. But as he looks back up, he grins. Finally, a genuine challenge! This is better. He jumps back so he has more room to brace himself properly for the charge, bringing the broad side of his blade in front of him before thrusting it forward to stumble Warpath. "That's the spirit!"
no subject
"KERBLAM!" is all he exclaims, but it would seem that he shares Megatronus's enthusiasm for a good brawl. He digs in and lays it on, using heavy strikes to try to daze the con long enough that he can shotgun him with his cannon. That would almost certainly put this villain down for good.
no subject
Finally, he decides to take the offensive and swings his blade, aiming for Warpath's legs while pushing all of his weight forward. If the blade doesn't connect, maybe this can ground him.
no subject
It's enough to make him take a step back, too. He lifts his arms, his heavy blasters unfolding from within his chassis.
"You gunna come quietly or am I gunna have to beat you down?! BAM!"
no subject
With a small break in the action, Megatronus settles back in a slightly more relaxed defensive position. "And for the matter, what did you call me earlier? A... 'Decepticon'?" Might as well try to get some information while he can.
no subject
"For the Autobots to take you prisoner. Duh." Because he's...a Decepticon...? Except he's asking what a Decepticon.
"I. Er. A Decepticon is...kablooie. A Decepticon is the army you're in charge of! Come on!"
no subject
"Army?" He echoes, straightening up with a raised eyebrow. "Are you talking about the bombings? I had nothing to do with that. Some of my followers got a bit... enthusiastic."
no subject
"Say what," Warpath barks, half like he doesn't understand what he means and half like he's too deaf to hear him.
no subject
"I think there's a bit of confusion here."
That's putting it lightly.
no subject
"You are Megatron, aren'tcha?"
no subject
no subject
That's familiar right? He's pretty sure that sounds familiar. Like maybe an old nickname...
"Kapow," he says to himself, thoughtfully.
no subject
"Who are you, exactly?"
no subject
no subject
He almost comments on the fact that Warpath assumed he was someone else before, but his curiosity makes him hold his witty comments for later.
