Kolkular - Research Center
"My honor, Lord Scorponok," Thunderwing saluted towards the towering Decepticon as he made his way to the control panel and attaching some wires to it, brought forth the stasis pods.
Thunderwing felt excitement that had not been coursing through him for a while, though he showed no outward sign of it. It was the feeling one dwelled in when gaining more power. The Decepticons were about to grow stronger directly in front of his deeply glowing, dark green optics. Even if it was not himself, as a respected and estabilished commander in the Decepticon ranks, Thunderwing would still benefit from the process. Sooner or later, he would gain from this new power.
Or gain it for himself.
Of course, the nature of the matter was very delicate. As the Decepticons were standing on shaking ground, they could not allow themselves to be torn apart by internal power struggles over new technologies. That, Thunderwing understood well.
As he examined each of his thoughts, regarding possible actions and consequences, Thunderwing walked up in front of the stasis pods, from where he could see what would happen in the test sequence, and where he was in reach of the control consoles positioned next to the pods, to assist Scorponok, if needed.
As he did so, another mechanoid made his entry to the laboratory. One whose stature and impression was impossible to be mistaken for another, one whose reputation and capabilities were very well acknowledged.
Returning the salute to Roadblock, Thunderwing's expression changed, though barely notably. Another slight smirk appeared at the edge of his mouth. Oh, him? Interesting.
Thunderwing had always regarded Roadblock as a frighteningly effective, but drastically blunt tool of destruction, his bluntness only exceeded by the likes of Motormaster. Nevertheless, he did not miss his ability and skill as a commander and warrior.
The introduction of the so-called Pretender Technology was slowly beginning to surpass Thunderwing's initial expectations.
Kolkular - The Forge
"There he is," The silent, even voice came from one of the three slimmer mechanoids as they made their way across Kolkular, in search of a certain someone, who had just been removed from the central command center of the immense Decepticon fortress.
"Yo, Screamer!" Another of the three shouted as they approached the Seeker Commander, one with the bulkiest frame and grey-orange colors. "So what's the chase? Are we finally sent to scrap that hulkin' piece o' slag lollin' about Polyhex?"
"Unlikely, dimwit," Came the retort from the third mech, in a creaking voice that would have hurt audio modules if screamed at a higher pitch. "Megatron just threw him out, why would he send him on any important operations, especially against the Guardian?"
The orange mech, bearing the name Hellion paused for an astrosecond to register the not too difficult question. To her, even not too difficult questions were difficult.
"Slaggin' dunno, Jade," She finally said, visibly still not in understanding of the issue. "I just wanna headbutt something that's harder than my cranial forehead protector," She added, pointing at her forehead and making a dumb grin. Jadewind grunted and shook her head.
Nightraven chose to remain silent and hover behind the others. She preferred to hover. It made her feel at ease and light, so she could move and reach anywhere quickly. And she had no interest in participating in a meaningless quarrel that her sister Hellion and their squadron leader Jadewind ignited all the time.
As if that wasn't enough, another loud voice, coming from the all too familiar Dunehopper added another, not exactly fond tone to the whole bluster.
"Intruders? My exhaust port!" Jadewind taunted Dunehopper directly in the optics, pointing her finger at him. "I don't see why pathetic, useless squadrons made up of idiots with broken processors shouldn't be disbanded," She said, adding a triumphant, derogatory smile.
