Greetings my fellow shipmates. Since my alternate and far less charming version of me decided to place himself in your business I thought I might as well introduce myself.

My name is also Starscream. However, I'm not going to claim false responsibility over the majority of my people. I know I hold no authority over them and it would be foolish and dishonest to claim otherwise. Why my counterpart felt the need to deceive you, I have no idea. Please accept my apologies on his behalf.

With that said, it has come to my attention that former commander of 'my' faction is no longer fit for the job and I will be stepping up due to my rank in that regard. You can direct any issues concerning hostilities or problems from members of the Decepticons to me.

For those of you who don't know, look for this symbol.

[He'll point to the purple symbol on his wings.]

Those of my species with a different symbol, usually red, are Autobots and they have their own commander though I am not sure who exactly would be in charge of them on this ship. Usually they follow someone by the name of Optimus Prime. In his absence they seem to be a little disorganized if not embarrassing. I'm going to make a guess that Bumblebee will be the one you want to go to for them, but again I don't know exactly. This is just an assumption based upon what I've observed intelligence wise.

Ah, I think that's it. Thank you for your time.

Starscream out.

Funny thing about that is -- the Shockwave of my universe wanted to be seen as emotionless. But he had them, you just had to know the right buttons to push but boy could you aggravate him if you wanted to.

And he always looked like that. That was his default look straight from the spark. I find those differences between our worlds highly interesting.

Which by the way, what did you mean by cold constructed and forged?

We all know how much you love pushing buttons, right.

Anyway, to put it simply, someone who was "forged" was created through what was considered, at least by the religious nutcases, to be the only natural process. Sparks were harvested from natural hot spots created by Vector Sigma on the surface of Cybertron or it's moons, and the body was forged from the base substance the spark was pulled from. The spark of someone who was constructed cold was created by the Matrix of Leadership and then slapped into a pre-constructed body. There's a lot of science involved, but that's never really been my strongest point.

Where I'm from almost all Cybertronian sparks from the Matrix or in the case of a -- oh you know, Civil War and whatnot, energy of a similar frequency. Pre-built bodies occasionally, but most everyone develops from protoforms. I've never seen anyone make a big deal out of the difference.

Though it's funny you should mention science because that is my strong point.

[Do you see his grin? Because it's there.]

It was a big enough deal that we went to war over it. There were a few other reasons as well, but in the end it all came down to the oppressed being sick of oppression.

Nice that you have something to brag about, at least.

Ours started because the Council turned on their grand champion and tried to have Megatron assassinated and he realized our government was hiding things from all of us.

Also there was the small thing about Decepticons being genetically superior and built for conquest that might have played a small role.

Tch. what government doesn't hide things from people anymore?

Wait, you mean you were deliberately built for violence, or am I missing something?

So said Megatron. He stated we held biological internal programming differences. The Decepticons being the more warrior class while the Autobots being made up those made for carrying the general workload.

Sounds like the Autobots were at quite the disadvantage.

In more ways than one with the whole flying thing.

You didn't have flying Autobots? That little Bumblebee knock-off said the same thing.

No, there are some just not many.

It was more that if you joined the Decepticons and didn't already have the ability? Megatron forced you through a reformatting process. Very painful from what I've been told.

Can't say my Megatron really pulled anything like that. There were uses for land and sea based alt-modes just as much as there were for flyers.

No, I mean some still kept their other altmodes. They just gained flight abilities as well.

Ah hah, I thought you meant a full reformat. My Megatron definitely didn't do that.

What did he do? Other than run off and join the Autobots that is.

The Autobot thing is actually a pretty recent change. As for what he's done, it might be quicker to list off what he never got around to trying.

I'll just go through a list of things mine has attempted.

Lets see ...

Mechaform Earth? Turn Cybertron into a mobile battlestation? Attempt to persuade Optimus Prime into joining his cause by beating him into submission?

No on the first two, but it seemed like every time they met on the battle field, Metagron and Optimus were trying to persuade each other to join their side. Mostly in the early days, but either way.
