Does this count as a canon AU?

[doctorofdoom]

I don't think you understand, so I'll make this perfectly clear. I have far more pressing matters at hand - matters which you clearly refuse to understand the significance of - that require my attention. What possible reason would you have to waste my time, and I suppose yours for that matter, with unnecessary socialization?

You clearly have no desire to place me in a game, do you? You have no interest in what I could possibly achieve, now, do you? Well, I do. And not you, nor anyone else, will get in my way of accomplishing it.

...Well. Not for long.

[Oh? What's this?

How interesting.]

And to think I thought I was lying.

Doctor of Doom.

[deadlydoctor]

Someone being weird again. Did you try synthetic energon one more time?

[thelastprime]

...Ratchet.

[Someone's quite in shock.]

[doctorofdoom]

'Lying'? Pfft. Surely you're not still in denial over past events, Megatronus.

[doctorofdoom]

Orion Pax. I... was not expecting to see you again.

[doctorofdoom]

...Not exactly. But since you asked so tactfully, I HAVE found the secret to the next step in our own "evolution", to borrow a term. A small formula for much advanced performance.

[deceptionshark]

I am in denial over nothing, Ratchet, for I have not been Megatronus for quite some time.

[So what is your past hmm? Megatron intends to find this out somehow.]

[doctorofdoom]

Is that so? Hoping a change in designation will bring about a change in destiny?

[redshirtrobot]

They tend to do what they like, without consideration of our feelings on the matter.

[He says while slowly backing up. Autobots are hazardous to his health and this one... seems crazy.]

[doctorofdoom]

[If you only knew.]

And why wouldn't they? If they possess both the power and means to do so, what would stop them?

[deceptionshark]

Destiny is what we make of it.

[Which can mean... anything.]

But please, tell me my destiny oh mighty Ratchet.

[deadlydoctor]

I've been told I am the most charming, I'm aware. I will bite and ask: What's that step? If you say coolant I am quiting this conversation.

[doctorofdoom]

Why simply tell you when I can show you?

[doctorofdoom]

Since you continue to stand against the very march of progress itself? Absolute obsolescence.

Tell me. What do you call yourself now? "Outdated"?

[deceptionshark]

[March of progress? Well, they're finally getting somewhere aren't they?]

I am Megatron, Leader of the Decepticons and the very definition of power, ambition, and strength. I will choose when something is obsolete, Medic, and so shall it be.

[deadlydoctor]

Because I say so and because I don't trust you. But if you are in the mood to play...

[doctorofdoom]

[That's weird. And kinda funny.]

I am far more than a mere medic now. You, more than anyone, should have realized that.

[redshirtrobot]

Their consciences. The powerful do not always abuse their power, even among the Decepticons.

I thought an Autobot would already have that answer.

[deceptionshark]

I know not what you speak of, but I can see it in your eyes.

Tell me, what has become of Orion Pax?

[doctorofdoom]

I don't have time for games.

[doctorofdoom]

I have an answer, yes. The answer, possibly.

[doctorofdoom]

...

[Loooong hard look]

Vanished. Presumed deactivated.

[redshirtrobot]

The answer? That's an awfully tall order. It seems like.

[autobot_arcee]

Umm Ratchet, I thought Optimus told you to get rid of the synthetic energon. Or has someone destroyed your stuff again?

[idle_time]

*carrot eating noises*

Eeeeeh, what's up, Doc?

have a Mirrorverse-AU of TFP!Starscream

[distortedscream]

[Glare.]

It's not pleasant being someone else's plaything, is it?
