Breaking away from his snarkfest flamewar discussion with a certain ursine Autobot medic, Shockwave walks a short distance away. While some might be familiar with him as a futuristic gun, this Shockwave has a car alternate mode, which is well polished though boasting a few stray white hairs he was unable to brush away. He stands tall, glances around, then speaks.
"Attention, all who inhabit this place! I am Shockwave, Lord Regent of Cybertron, rightful second in command of the Decepticon Army, Duke of Kaon, Leader of its Peoples, and frequent contributor to intelligent online periodicals. I now stand before you. I entreat you to hold off the inevitable celebrations. I have been encouraged to ask a question and so, a question I shall indeed ask."
He pauses, purely for dramatic effect. "Have any of you seen a young human with red hair, possessed of magical powers, perhaps in the company of a vampire slayer? She is my destiny, and I must find her!"
He stops again, this time a little more awkwardly. "Also, none of you find the idea of an eons old robot hooking up with a woman just out of high school weird, do you?" He says nothing about the far more obvious size and species difference. The course of true love never did run smooth.
