Decepticons- planning for our strike on the Ark begins now to commence in approx 72 groons. Soundwave is preparing minutes from this morning’s meeting in the Nemesis War Room and will be sending out action items later this evening.

Decepticons, you should have info on the Ark layout and current patrols per Laserbeaks data loaded onto your secure datapads.

Stunticons, we developed lists of common Aerialbot gathering spots for your purposes. Infosec will send more specifics of weak points and recommended approach vectors within 2 groons of the briefing

We will crush the Autobots and the foolish weakling Optimus Prime once and for all!!

SS

Starscream

And how will we POSSIBLY manage to achieve that with this sad excuse for a battle plan? You also fail to take into account the proximity of the Ark to a human power plant that could supply us with vital energon reserves! This dim witted attack will be a mistake and the only fool will be you Megatron!

08:48

SW

SW

@Starscream: incorrect. Plan: however, could be delayed for additional espionage.

08:49

S

Shrapnel

Autobots are not going anywhere. A delay is fine with Insecticons, if Megatron continues to provide us with promised energon

08:56

S

Shrapnel

Energon

08:56

S

Scrapper

Devastator is ready now but a delay would not negatively impact the Constructicons and additional time could be used to build up our own defenses on the Nemesis

09:01

S

Shockwave

Whether we delay the attack or not, I will make sure Cybertron is secure!!

👍

09:13

B

Bumble

is this for real

09:17

SS

Starscream

Silence Rumble! All of you! Megatron's crack brained plan will never succeed and his leadership of the Decepticons is clearly a joke. Rise up behind me, your new leader and accept my invitation to a new era of group chat!

09:20

Starscream left the group.

O

Onslaught

Will this strike endanger the power plant as Starscream pointed out and will Bruticus again be forced to bail out the Decepticons when energon stores drop dangerously low

09:47

S

Shrapnel

Yes! Decepticon energy supplies are PATHETIC. Megatron will not trick us again, not when he made a promise!

09:51

S

Shrapnel

Promise

SW

SW

Starscream's assertions: inaccurate and shortsighted. Treachery: dramatic but expected. Soundwave: understands concerns, however attack strategy carefully considered based on all available data. Delay: would allow further reconnaissance, analysis, and strategic modeling without significant change to calculations. Decision to proceed: must be made by Megatron.

09:55

Bumble

M

Megatron

IMBECILES!!!1

10:31

M

Megatron

The whole lot of you, an incompetent bunch of disloyal fools!

The attack will proceed and I will hear no more talk of delay. You will all prepare for your assigned roles and carry out the plan exactly as I have laid it out. We WILL succeed and I will see to Primes defeat personally!

Rest assured Starscream will be dealt with

10:35

Got it boss
