Of course I kept my rethorical skills, even if I had lost a bit of focus at that point. Optimus might be a fool, but it would have been useful had he joined me.

However, I wonder at how simple you are if you think all that had happened would truly have made me as base as you thought.

[He chuckles, dryly and surprisingly soft. Not so much unused as at a pitch not normally used.]

It's a wonder you can muster the brain power to let me speak, mundane.

[You'd think that word was an insult... on the other hand, he probably just made it one.]

At least you aren't completely hopeless, even if my presence at that game would never work... I do approve of the plans you'd ascribe me.

Fitting very well with my original plan for Cybertron and the universe.

[You can just hear the non-voiced laughter under those words. Not a very nice one, unsurprisingly.]

[This one definitely belongs to the alternate he'd been... exchanging words with. Or if not that exact same one, then definitely a similar one.]

Bearing in mind alternate realities, yes. [Not that he's ever been called by that particular title, however. He hardly minds.]

[distortedscream]

[Starscream shook his head. It was still strange to see any Megatron with something like a human nose.]

Have you dealt with many alternate realities for long, Sir?

[lordmegatron]

[Nasal ridges protected the optics by offering some distance and some protection against offending objects headed for your faceplates. Very useful!

Helm tilted, he gave Starscream a stare, optics narrowed. Was was even the angle here?]

No, only in this place, and I haven't cared to explore it much, as it has no bearing on anything actually important.

[distortedscream]

[Not important?]

...Except for the fact that you're apparently trapped in this place where alternate realities cross. Unless you know of a way out and are simply biding your time.

[lordmegatron]

Temporarily. Whatever happens here stays here, so there is no reason to expend energy and resources for plans that simply will not affect anything where we belong...

[A pause, helm still tilted.]

Since I will hardly learn of a way to traverse the dimensions from here that would work in our own... What does it matter?

[He's interested in what can be achieved, not grasping after illusory achivements.]

[distortedscream]

You sound uncharacteristically apathetic about it all, Sir.
