Western Shore of the Korean Peninsula"Yeah sure. I get it." Astrotrain replied back to Baneblade after the strategist ended his mission description and voiced his cornerns regarding whether he had been understood.
The military transport was feeling rather indifferent about the whole ordeal. He was smart enough to see what Baneblade tried to by giving him a chance of step above his position. Too bad Baneblade's attempt to win over Astrotrain's favor was hardly worthwhile. There would be no need for a warrior. The operation they were about to undertake was something Astrotrain could have done alone. The triplechanger did not let the coming ordeal to bother him though. Battles alone did not win wars, there was far more to it than that and Astrotrain understood it all too well.
A while later, Thundercracker landed on the site roughly around the same time as Baneblade's team finished unloading Astrotrain's cargo. The arrival of the blue seeker lifted Astrotrain's spirits a nod. The air warrior was among the few Decepticons the triplechanger liked to hang out with. He was loyal, friendly and had a good head on his shoulders. It was not like Astrotrain couldn't stand the company of the more psychotic 'cons but it was good to have more level-headed bots around.
"Oh please. I am not Vortex." Astrotrain joked back at
Thundercracker before giving his comfirmation about being read to proceed to the next target to
Baneblade. "I am ready to proceed if you are."
