Data gathering complete

Good work Soundwave, have Laserbeak rendezvous to the moon closest to Earth for further instructions. Starscream will be there to intercept

Cinderclutch, there's been a development

You interrupt me in my chambers without warning one more time and we'll use your metal for the scrap-room floor

I apologize sire

Now tell me Dreadfoot, what was so urgent that you had to come barging in here to tell me?

Sire we've just received a message from Cybertron that an unknown ship has been tracked to our sector and is heading towards...

You bumbling fool! I was in the middle of receiving this exact intel as you fumbled your way into my quarters

Sire...

Shut-up and listen, leave at once for Chaar and inform Lord Megatron that we have a group heading towards Earth now. Soon Laserbeak will be giving Starscream the information they need. Stay on Chaar until further instruction, understood?

Yes sire, is this going to be a capture or a termination?

We're not sure yet. Soundwave said he doesn't think they're with the Autobots, but they need to be detained and questioned before we make any decisions. Regardless that's Megatron's call. If they comply, we may find them useful for our cause

And if they don't comply?

Knowing how Lord Megatron thinks, complete extermination, with prejudice
