[There is a very loud laugh, though Megatron neglects to clarify which part was funny. Perhaps both]
That would explain the multiple days of puzzles. And the way pieces kept sticking to his elbow. Fascinating.
[A lengthy pause follows, over an hour, which is filled with conversing with his Optimus and being given more of the painkillers he's been avoiding taking. When he speaks again, his voice is slurred]
Hey. Hey. Megan Tron. What... why do you think triplechargers never turn in'o useful things like bars or bars or railguns or bars?
Astrotrain has parts within himself that could charitably be considered a bar, but I think he'd kill anyone that tried. You are most welcome to go outside and say hello to him.
[megatron cackles at that, utterly delighted wherever he is. the next comment makes him go quiet, though. he remebers how his own had definitely been gearing up to and probably does blame himself for what he did as nemesis, despite literally being dead at the time. they don't talk about it, but he knows how the conversation would go, and how theirs probably went.]

Thats a big range. Easier to just say keep on the other side of the roof.
Finished cutting off the second one to do some slagging thing... Optimus. Optimus, where did they take my arm, did they take it on a tour around the office or-

Got stopped from leaving by a great big Cybertronian valve. Gonna be later. Always liked Astrotrain, very honest. Till the thing with the thing.

[oh, yes, he laughs again when he realises who the 'valve' is.]
Does he know you're speaking to other Megatrons? I hope for your sake you haven't messaged Antlers as well.
I'll leave you two to it. Do not forget you owe me a drink in Macaddam's.
