“This is highly classified Decepticon research,” Starscream says haughtily, holding the datapad to his chest. “I’m not going to just hand it off to a couple of Autobots practically sight unseen. I helped build that prototype.”

It is starting to sound like they might know more about space bridge theory here, though, and on the off chance they do, Starscream sure as hell isn’t going to miss an opportunity to give himself a leg up on Shockwave. He crosses his arms, tapping the datapad against his hip. “I’ll only share this data if I work with them, and only if they share all of their available research on the subject, too.”
