...MTO...? MTO... [Duo hums to himself, eyes flicking to the side as he starts typing of to the side of his comm feed, checking his cache of notes. The flinch in his expression when he finds what he's looking for isn't something he can really hide.] Oh. No problemo, pal. [And just like that, it's dropped. See, easy.]
Oh, Barney? I think his name was Mega something? Decepticon, had the over-the-top villain act down-pat. Fancied himself some kinda glorious dictator, I guess, but I've known some of those in my time, and Barney? Was no glorious, charismatic dictator!
...'Atropos', huh? Sounds metal as hell. Thanks, I'll be sure to keep my ear to the ground on that. [H a h a little does he know]
Um, I don't know if we've talked about it before, but I guess Op is a pretty different guy, when-- or where you come from. [Another nervous sideglance at his notes.] Jeez, I couldn't even imagine the Optimus I knew doing this kind of stuff. He was... you know, [handwave] heroic, I guess, is the best word for it. Always seemed to care about people? Shit really went that sideways...?
