Combined Forces Comm Chat
Optimus Prime: There, easy, right?
Bumblebee: I guess, Bossbot. Why can’t we just private comm each other?
Optimus Prime: This is easier for missions and to keep each other updated. We’re trying to get along, remember? The whole truce we have going on?
Bumblebee: more like you and the bucket head getting it on
Optimus Prime: ANYWAY
Optimus Prime: You can go recharge, Bee. When everyone gets up, we can go over rules :)
Bumblebee: Ew. Rules. And entire designations. Can we PLEASE change to nicknames?! And add Sorry?
Optimus Prime: Sari
Bumblebee: huh?
Optimus Prime: Doctor Sumdac showed me an image she drew. She signed it Sari :)
Bumblebee: huh. Anyway, can we add her?
Optimus Prime: Perhaps. Good night, Bee
Bumblebee: Night, Bossbot
Ratchet: No
Ratchet has left the chat
Optimus Prime: oh boy
Ratchet has been added to the chat
Ratchet: youngling
Optimus Prime: Ratchet
Ratchet: this is gonna backfire! Badly! And also I’ll wanna kill ‘em!
Blitzwing: oooh! Who are we killing? Is it someone I knoooow?
Bumblebee: Hiiii Blitzwing
Blitzwing: Meine liebe Hummel, wie geht es dir an diesem schönen Tag!
Ratchet: I wish I didn’t know how to read
Optimus Prime: Aw, Ratchet, be nice.
Optimus Prime: Just no funny stuff in main chat. Take it to DMs
Blitzwing: I AM ALWAYS VERY FUNNY JAJAJAJAA
Optimus Prime: Right.
Megatron: Hate this already.
Lugnut: GLORIOUS MEGATRON, WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO DESTROY THE CHAT
Megatron: Can you even do that?
Lugnut: I CAN GET SHOCKWAVE TO DO THAT!
Optimus Prime: Hey! We agreed to a truce and that means getting along, not destroying each other’s things!
Megatron: the chat is more a metaphysical thing than an actual thing. Like a series of thoughts.
Optimus Prime: I’m not sure that’s correct???
Megatron: @Ratchet I tried.
Ratchet: for once, I’m glad you did.
Optimus Prime: OKAY! Enough! I’ll just.
Everyone but @Optimus Prime has been muted.
Optimus Prime: There. For now, at least.
Optimus Prime: @Team
Optimus: Prime: that’s for everyone, btw :) Which means By The Way, did you know that? The organic’s internet has so many fun terms. Although I don’t know what ‘apple bottom jeans’ means. Sari refuses to tell me.
Optimus Prime: Moving on.
Optimus Prime: Rule One: No fighting. You can argue as any cordial mech, but no cheap shots and nothing personal. Makes everyone’s lives easier.
Rule Two: No ‘Autobot’ and ‘Decepticon’. We’re stuck on Earth for an indeterminate time with the space bridge being an impossibility and with the High Guard putting us off more and more. Right now, we’re just the Earth Cybertronians. We have to work together to ensure our survival, and stop being at each other’s throats.
Rule Three: Keep private discussions private. That means the DM function of the chat, please. I can’t ban you but I CAN make you go on more patrols and it WILL be annoying :)
Rule Four: If it has to do with a mission, make sure everyone is aware. There’s been far too many times where one or two of us goes alone and the rest are surprised with what happens after. This is an attempt at keeping everyone in the loop.
Rule Five: In order to protect both Shockwave and Blurr, we will not invite any-other-bot from the high guard. This does include Jazz, unfortunately, despite the fact he’s come to our rescue a few times. Sorry, Prowl. You can still speak to him, however. We will also not be extending any invites to Ultra Magnus nor Sentinel.
Rule Six: I’ve made Ratchet and Megatron admins over this in case something happens and they will need to take over in my stead. We’ll debate adding Shockwave at a later time. As of now, he is dealing with the faux revolution Strika enacted on Tilma IV and we don’t want to distract him in case something happens.
That should be everything! Any questions?
Optimus Prime has pinned a new message.
Everyone has been unmuted.
Starscream: I WANT ADMIN
Soundwave: Demand: SAME
Bumblebee: Boo! Boo, Bossbot, you’re boring we should have game night and fun!!!!!!!
Bulkhead: wassgoingon
Prowl: Fair enough.
Ratchet: Can we mention the chat to Sentinel. I love it when he gets a little weird about not knowing things. Makes my old spark grow three sizes.
Lugnut: I BLEW THAT BRIDGE UP ON PURPOSE
Megatron: what exactly would happen to you and who would have done it? Hypothetically...
Optimus Prime: all of you are concerning me greatly.
Optimus Prime: In order: No (for reasons obvious), also No (same), Bee I never said you couldn’t ‘have fun’, Bulkhead nice of you to join, thanks Prowl, please tell him about a secret chat and record it for me, Lugnut we’re discussing that, and no one???
Megatron: and where is this No One located?
Optimus Prime: are you messing with me.
Bumblebee: PLEASE CHANGE OUR NAMESSSSSS I HATE THISSSSS
Blitzwing: he is currently pacing.
Optimus Prime: fine fine fine hang on
Optimus: There. I shortened everyone’s names. Happy?
Bee: I CAN BREATHE AGAIN
Meg: Breathing is an organic thing.
Meg: Absolutely The Frag Not
Optimus: I had to try
Megatron: You are not that far from me
Bulkhead: wow we have a chat!! Yay!!! I got memes Sari showed me I can send
Bee: did EVERYONE know her name was spelled that way??
Prowl: Yes
Starscream: I don’t care WHY CAN’T I, STARSCREAM, ALSO BE ADMIN
Optimus: you’d take over
Starscream: fair
Soundwave: Demand: I would not!
Optimus: considering I was an organic for hours I think you’re lying.
Soundwave: Admission: I am...
Strika: I leave you all for a simple mega-cycle and you’re all going insane?!
Bulkhead: Hi Strika!!!
Lugnut: STRIKA MY DEAR!
Strika: hello boys, kisses and love from me.
Strika: what the frag is this anyway.
Megatron: oh, are you all finished now?
Strika: Yes my lord, everything ended just as we planned. Shockwave and Blurr should be on their way to Cybertron exalting their ‘win’ over us and we have a new colony under our belts.
Megatron: excellent
