[1] [Video] [Speak to Optimus here.]
[Well everyone, after that interesting little event at the power plant, there are now three transforming alien robots at Sakihama base. The leader of them now making an announcement.]
Members of the Unity Group. It is a pleasure to meet all of you, though admittedly I wish that your first encounter with my species could have been under better circumstances. My name is Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. I had mentioned before during the battle that there was a war involved between the Decepticons and ourselves. What I had not mentioned was the scale of it...
[Prime sounded more than a little severe.]
This conflict consumed our entire planet and divided our species in two and had spanned across millennia. A conflict that has spread here when I led a failed attempt to find others willing to assist the Autobots as our numbers... and the energy available across our planet dwindled. It is because of this mistake that I swear that my troops and I will do whatever we can to assist mankind and all its allies in defending itself - not just from the Decepticons, but from all those who seek to cause you harm.
As such, all Autobots present on Earth will make themselves known to ESUN officials and provide assistance whenever possible. A small contingent of which will be arriving to support the Unity Group directly.
I hope that our people can continue to work together. Even after our battles are over.
[2] [New Arrivals] [Speak to the other Autobots here]
[It wasn't long before a contingent of vehicles bearing the Autobot insignia stopped off at Sakihama. There was a lot of cheery talking and jabbing at each other for the most part, Optimus looking happy at the arrival of his soldiers-... no. His friends. After that the Autobots were getting acclimated to their new surroundings.]

[There were the two that appeared with Optimus of course. Blaster was smiling the whole time after getting to see Zwei Wing in person and was laying out a few beats. Admittedly it'd be hard NOT to hear the music if you wander through there. He was nodding to the beat as his chest compartment opened up and launched out a few cassettes that transformed into human sized robots that assisted in his work.]

[Cliffjumper was dragging several crates to what he has claimed to be 'his place'. Note that when he opened the crates he was soon unpacking a frighteningly huge arsenal with the biggest smirk. The way he unloaded every weapon from their containers with something approaching destructive reverence was nerve wracking to say the least. Is he really one of the good guys?]


[Ironhide and Kup, the old timers out of all of them were joking with each other as old soldiers are wont to do as they unloaded more material. The former would shake his head with a wry smirk as he kept working while the latter lapsed into talking about past campaigns in which he had to cooperate with alien species.]

[Ratchet, the medical officer of the Autobots was getting a handle for the equipment and materials the Unity Group has, given his technical know how he would be supplementing the mechanics. He's quite impressed at the level of robotics expertise that humanity has reached and believes there's a lot that can be shared in terms of knowledge.]

[Bumblebee was busying himself by conversing with some of the techs and other personnel around the base. Now that the Autobots were working with humanity rather than simply supporting them from the shadows, he was taking the chance to get to know people.]

[Red Alert on the other hand was looking jumpy as he looked around, muttering comments about potential security breaches and that there was no way that everyone on the base could be trusted. He internally ponders doing a triple-over background check on all personnel when he has the chance, if he can get the chance. He's busy setting up a makeshift security area for himself to work from and occasionally snapping away from his set up to look around randomly.]

[Wheeljack was setting up a makeshift lab/workshop. Be afraid. Be very afraid.]

[And then last but not least was the MASSIVE figure of Grimlock. The only Autobot who rivaled Optimus in terms of sheer size. He wasn't doing anything to help the others but merely set up his own little area, lay a massive sword against the wall and sit down, glaring at everyone else and daring them to approach. Something about him felt different from the others, but you can't put your finger on it.]
[Feel free to speak to any of them.]

Cliffjumper
Wow... Can hardly tell what half of these are...
[Still, alien design and architecture won't be too much of a barrier, even for this lad, as he gets up close and peers into and around various weapons to get a good look and try to determine their purpose.]
Oooooh! Based on the chambering of the fuel cells, this is a high grade plasma cannon, right?!
From:
Re: Cliffjumper
Don't touch my stuff!
[Cliffjumper's words were all but barked out as his eyes seemed to glow threateningly at Ataru. His grimace eased a little though.]
You seriously think that just because it has fuel cells its a High Grade Plasma Cannon?
Hah! This thing right here's-
[As he picked up the weapon to properly show it off to Ataru... his face suddenly looked like he bit into a lemon.]
- A Plasma Cannon... Variable setting though! So you still got it wrong!
From:
Re: Cliffjumper
I said based on the chambering of the fuel cells, if your... audio receptors, are working.
[Ataru makes a guess - who knows, maybe there's a specific term for robot ears.]
After all, unlike a munitions based armament, you've got it absolutely sealed tight - except for when the triggers pulled, I assume. So what you have is something that would be otherwise capable of leaking, like say, plasma. Added to which, the fact it needs such cells at all shows it can't simply a beam generating weapon, because there's some kind of existing matter at work.
Still, wouldn't have guess you'd be able to change the settings.

Feh my Audios are working fine...
[Cliffjumper is less standoffish to the human goes into the weapon spiel.]
Besides, sometimes you need to melt holes into something, sometimes you need things to explode, sometimes you just need to burn it all down. Mess with the containment field and just how much is fed into the barrel and you've got a whole playground ahead of you.
[He runs his hand across the weapon with a satisfied grin before setting it away.]

Should expect no less I suppose.
From:

Yeah well, with how long we've been fighting the 'cons... no surprise we've got tons of things to kill each other with.
[And CJ says this without any regret or annoyance whatsoever.]
My only problem is that they can't get the Glass Gas to work right.

Meh, you wanna call it Cold Phosphex, fine by me. Glass Gas is less of a mouthful. It works by blasting it at a target then watching 'em break to pieces.
[He smirks a little. Wait. Weren't his species made of metal-. Well those implications were disturbing. Its like someone made an aerosol to make humans as fragile as glass statues.]
Fun to watch a Seeker break up in midair. Not so much fun when the slagging wind blows it back at you.
From:
no subject
[That is... both amazing and horrifying really.]
So... do you use it often, or...?
From:
no subject
Anywhere without windspeed. Or somewhere that'd make it blow into some 'cons.
