When The Decepticons Invented Protogens

After a bit more walking, the Protocons came to their room, but instead of going to their individual cells to get ready to recharge, Pyroat and Aerocip walked over to Dyne's room per his request, where he was setting up 2 baggy, chair-like things in front of a desk. He turned and smiled, then began to explain, "So, I've done my research, and because we're official Decepticons now, we could all stand to be more informed on our kind." Pyroat turned and whispered into Aerocip's fox-like ears, "If he starts lecturing and rambling to us, I'm gonna deactivate myself." Aerocip stifled a laugh, Dyne's ears perked up,"I thought about how you'd react to a boring history lesson, which is why I added my own twist to it." Being apparently satisfied with the positioning of the bag chairs, Dyne jumped up on the desk and transformed to laptop form; crossing his legs to form the keyboard, and the nanites in his upper body turning into a wide screen, bigger than most laptops, but had still shifted in mass to become smaller than his anthropomorphic mode, of which stood only a few inches taller than the other Protocons. Dyne's virtual optics and a virtual mouth appeared on his screen, "I'll start with some easy ones first, then we'll go into the other important stuff." His face shrunk down and positioned itself in the top right corner of his laptop mode's screen, an image of a purple Decepticon with a singular, yellow optic and a massive ion blaster for a left hand. Their creator. "This one's easy!" Aerocip saud, "That's General Shockwave!" She stated with pride. Dyne replied with satisfaction, "very good!" The 3-dimensional model of Shockwave moved to the side, and a few small paragraphs appeared in a text-box next to the model. Dyne paraphrased the text, "Shockwave has been Lord Megatron's head scientist for as long as anybot can remember; making contributions to the Decepticon cause for millions of years. Known for famously establishing a space bridge connecting Cybertron and Earth, as well as being known for his many eccentric experiments." Aerocip's faceplate lit up, "I didn't know that, that's so cool!" she turned and gestured to Pyroat, who was busy examining her claws, "Isn't that neat, Pyroat?" She began talking in a sly voice, "I suppose, but surely there's some more interesting bots out there..." Dyne made a clicking sound, "Ah, I was about to get to that, you'll recognize this guy!" The model of shockwave flew offscreen as a different bot appeared; red and blocky, as well as boasting the Autobot insignia." Aerocip gasped and Pyroat turned her attention to the bot as well. Smoke trailed from Pyroat's vents, "That's the piece of scrap that nearly shot us!" Her smoke flared as she glared back at the model, "Tell me all you know on him! I'll exact revenge on that glitch!" She gripped the sides of the laptop in anger, Dyne grunted, "Ouch! Let go, your paws are hot!" A smirk streaked across Pyroat's faceplate as plumes of steam rose from her vents, "Why, thank you Dyne, but I don't think they look that good..." Dyne tried to ignore her teasing, but stammered as he spoke, "From what we can gather, the Autobot's name is "Blaster", and while he's reckless, most Decepticons don't view him as a threat." Pyroat nodded slowly, "So it shouldn't be too difficult to take him offline..." She chuckled to herself, "This studying is fun, anything else we should know?" They continued to study, and while they could recall most of what they learned, they mainly continued for the fun of it.
