[Video] 2; Memory Leak
{{OOC: Warnings for violence and gore under the cut.}}
Nice to meet you, loser! They call me Misfire. Long story.
[The audio comes in on everyone's D-Terminals long before the video, after a moment of horrible flickering and static. But it's clearly Misfire's voice speaking, and the video cuts in halfway through him talking to reveal a magenta-armored robot holding some kind of pump in his hands, which is attached to a tan-colored robot.
The magenta one, who has a broad grin on his face, is very clearly Misfire, even if his voice hadn't gave him away.]
Actually, y'know what? It isn't. It's a very short story, involving a machine gun, a misunderstanding, and -- [He chuckles, a bit sheepishly, here.] A dozen dead Decepticons.
[The other bot opens his mouth to speak:] I'm Fulcrum --
[The audio cuts out, skipping to Misfire introducing the four other Decepticons on the scene: Crankcase, Spinister, Flywheels, and Krok at an almost break-neck speed.]
[And then the video shifts, almost immediately jumping to another memory. And the contents within... aren't for the faint of heart.]
[It comes in to a war zone, with gunfire and clashing metal, Misfire desperately attempting to crawl away until he's stepped on by an assailant --
-- Flywheels, being shoved into the almost blender-like blades of another Decepticon's chest cavity and ground up like vegetables in a blender, energon and bits of metal and an optic being spit out the other end while Krok watches in terror --
-- Krok, having a mask full of needles shoved onto his face only to be shot by Misfire, who explains that he was aiming for the other Decepticon holding him back, and then being attacked by an almost zombie-like mechanical fox creature --
By the time the memory stays put for more than a few seconds, the vision is focused on the sky -- specifically, a small speck standing on a giant crane. The audio is a bit hard to hear, but the bot named Fulcrum's voice comes through. He looks down on a group of five, all recognizable as the assailants of Misfire's team.]
...And you know what went wrong? People like you. [The audio jumbles a bit, as though fast-forwarding.] Yesterday, my faith in the Decepticons was restored. I met six Scavengers -- and they were average and normal and brilliant, and they fought on my behalf when I really, really didn't deserve it.
And I know you look down on them, but each one of them is worth ten of you.
[The video jumps ahead again, and the audio has cut out completely. Misfire is kneeling, offering his hand to Fulcrum, who is lying in a giant crater with an utterly baffled expression with Misfire grins and talks, and helps him up.
And then the video ends.]

Even if he couldn't explain why he was seeing all of this suddenly on the network. What was it, home movies week? But anyways, what really gets him is the fact that this is Decepticon-vs-Decepticon, and not the normal infighting for power kind.
This was for survival. What the Autobots technically were doing. The Scavenger deaths were awful--similar to those early on in the war, when blood-thirst and glory were at their peak.
He doesn't say anything at first, letting it all sink in.]
...
Sounds like quite the adventure. At least ya gave the most excitin' parts.
[Video]
Yeah, s'better than watchin' us sit around a campfire and talking for three hours.
[And watching Krok shoot an Autobot that they accidentally used for kindling.
Wormmon pipes in with a suspicious, knowing tone in her voice.]
...You named me after him, didn't you? Fulcrum, was his name?
...Maybe.
[Video]
[See: Boring. So yeah, he'll take the battle sequence over that. AND YES, PROBABLY FOR THE BEST HE DIDN'T SEE THE AUTOBOT PART.
You scoots over to the feed, resting her head on her claws as she listens]
The shortened version suddenly makes sense! And is oddly unfortunate. But that's adorable, isn't' it Wheeljack? Isn't it?
...yeah. Charmin'.
[Video]
And it was either "Crummy" or "pinhead", which she'd share with everyone else in the city, so take your pick.
You really need to work on your nickname choices.
[Video]
Seriously, they both do.

Whose bad side did you manage to get on? They're particularly brutal.
[Voice]
The D.J.D.'s -- Decepticon Justice Division.
[he says flippantly.]
Basically, they make it a point to track down folks that decided the Decepticons were a wee bit screwed and ran away, and do... that. Torture thing. Keep 'em on the right path.
