[Laserbeak returns to Decepticon HQ, where he changes into cassette mode and hops into Soundwave's chest compartment. Soundwave then heads to the HQ's war room to speak with Megatron.]
Soundwave: Lord Megatron, I have just received Laserbeak's report--it appears the Autobots are developing a new combiner team. The information Laserbeak collected is limited, however, due to Autobot attempts at keeping it secret.
Megatron: Ah, I see Prime's going back to that well again. Do we have confirmation of the mechanoids comprising this new unit?
Soundwave: Their codenames were among the only details found. Who's the torso, What's the left arm, I Don't Know's the right leg--
Megatron: That's what I want to find out.
Soundwave: I stated Who's the torso, What's the left arm, I Don't Know's the right leg.
Megatron: Soundwave--in addition to communications, you ARE one of my best spies, are you not?
Soundwave: Affirmative.
Megatron: And yet you don't know the names of those in the new Autobot combiner team?
Soundwave: I should.
Megatron: Well then, who's the torso?
Soundwave: Yes.
Megatron: I mean the mechanoid's name.
Soundwave: Who.
Megatron: The torso mech.
Soundwave: Who.
Megatron: The Autobot acting as--
Soundwave: Who is the torso.
Megatron: I'm asking YOU who's the torso!
Soundwave: That is the mechanoid's name.
Megatron: That's who's name?
Soundwave: Yes.
Megatron: Well, go ahead and tell me.
Soundwave: That is it.
Megatron: That's who?
Soundwave: Yes.
Megatron:.....All right, DOES this team have a large mechanoid acting as the super robot's torso?
Soundwave: Affirmative.
Megatron: Who's acting as the torso?
Soundwave: Affirmative.
Megatron: And in terms of unit command, who is the leader?
Soundwave: Confirmed.
Megatron: All I'm trying to discern is the name of the mechanoid acting as the super robot torso.
Soundwave: Who.
Megatron: The mech who acts--
Soundwave: That is it.
Megatron: Who is the unit leader.
Soundwave: He is, he is leader of the new combiner team.
Megatron:......
Soundwave: Is something wrong, Lord Megatron?
Megatron: Look Soundwave, all I want to know is when this new combiner team emerges, to what name does he respond when called?
Soundwave: Who.
Megatron: The Autobot.
Soundwave: Who.
Megatron: To what name--
Soundwave: That is what he will respond to.
Megatron: Who?
Soundwave: Yes.
Megatron:....*SIGH* All I'm trying to find out is what is the name of the mechanoid acting as the torso.
Soundwave: Incorrect--What is the left arm.
Megatron: I'm not asking you who's the left arm.
Soundwave: Who's the torso.
Megatron: One component at a time!
Soundwave: I haven't changed the components around.
Megatron: Neither have I! I am only asking you, who's the mechanoid acting as the torso?
Soundwave: That is correct.
Megatron: All right then....WAIT A NANO-KLIK. What's the name of the mech acting as torso?
Soundwave: Incorrect--What is the left arm.
Megatron: I'm not asking you who's the left arm.
Soundwave: Who is the torso.
Megatron: I don't know.
Soundwave: He is the right leg, we were not talking about him.
Megatron: How is it that I got to the right leg?
Soundwave: You mentioned his name, Lord Megatron.
Megatron: If I mentioned the right leg's name, who did I say is the right leg?
Soundwave: Incorrect. Who is the torso.
Megatron: What's the torso?
Soundwave: What is the left arm.
Megatron: I don't know.
Soundwave: He's the right leg.
Megatron: And there I go, back to the right leg!...Just stay on the right leg and do NOT go off it.
Soundwave: As you command. What do you wish to know?
Megatron: Who is the right leg?
Soundwave: Do you believe Who is the right leg?
Megatron: What am I putting as the right leg?
Soundwave: Incorrect--What is the left arm.
Megatron: You don't know who's the left arm?
Soundwave: Who is the torso.
Megatron: I don't know.
Both: RIGHT LEG!....
Megatron: All right then--does this combiner have a Targetmaster addition, like our own Piranacon?
Soundwave: Affirmative.
Megatron: The Targetmaster's name?
Soundwave: Why.
Megatron: I am asking you.
Soundwave: I am informing you.
Megatron: Then tell me who's the Targetmaster.
Soundwave: Who is the torso.
Megatron: Stay off the main body! I want to know what is the name of the Targetmaster!
Soundwave: Incorrect--What is the left arm.
Megatron: I'm not asking you who's the left arm!
Soundwave: Who is the torso.
Megatron: I don't know.
Both: RIGHT LEG!....
Megatron: The Targetmaster's name?
Soundwave: Why.
Megatron: Because!
Soundwave: Him? He is the optional Headmaster component.
Megatron:....*SIGH* Look, is there an optional Powermaster component?
Soundwave: Affirmative.
Megatron: The Powermaster's name?
Soundwave: Tomorrow.
Megatron: You cannot tell me today?
Soundwave: I am telling you now.
Megatron: Then proceed.
Soundwave: Tomorrow.
Megatron: What time?
Soundwave: What time what?
Megatron: What time tomorrow will you tell me who's the Powermaster?
Soundwave: Incorrect. Who is not the Powermaster--
Megatron: I will DISMANTLE YOU where you stand if you say who's the torso! I want to know what is the Powermaster's name?
Soundwave: What's the left arm.
Megatron: I don't know.
Both: RIGHT LEG!...
Megatron: Do they have a Mini-Con support mechanoid?
Soundwave: Affirmative.
Megatron: The Mini-Con's name?
Soundwave: Today.
Megatron: Today--and Tomorrow's the Powermaster.
Soundwave: Affirmative.
Megatron: All the Autobots have is a couple of Earth days on their new combiner team...So, if I understand this correctly, if we have the Autobots on the run, only for them to call in this new combiner team for back-up, Tomorrow's boosting their strength should our own combiners go up against them. Say, Devastator fires at them, and he misses, the new Autobot combiner is going to fire back at Devastator. So, he aims and fires at Devastator at the command of who?
Soundwave: That is a likely prediction.
Megatron: I don't even know what I'm talking about!....
Soundwave: Based on available variables, that is what will happen.
Megatron: Is who commands to fire.
Soundwave: Affirmative.
Megatron: Who fires?
Soundwave: Naturally.
Megatron...Look, if the combiner fires at Devastator at the team leader's behest, someone has to give that command. Who does it?
Soundwave: Naturally.
Megatron: Who?
Soundwave: Naturally.
Megatron: Naturally?
Soundwave: Naturally.
Megatron: So the combiner aims the Targetmaster and fires at the command of Naturally.
Soundwave: Incorrect--the Targetmaster in the hand of the combiner fires at the command of Who.
Megatron: Naturally.
Soundwave: That is different.
Megatron: That's what I said.
Soundwave: Forgive me for saying, but you are not saying it...
Megatron: He fires at the command of Naturally.
Soundwave: He fires at the command of Who.
Megatron: Naturally.
Soundwave: That is correct.
Megatron: That's what I said!
Soundwave: Are you asking me?
Megatron: He fires at the command of who?
Soundwave: Naturally.
Megatron: Now you ask me.
Soundwave: He fires at the command of Who?
Megatron: Naturally.
Soundwave: That is correct.
Megatron: Same as you! SAME--AS--YOU! He fires at the command of who, causing What to raise the left shoulder as he gets into a firing stance, causing I Don't Know to bend at the right knee and hip, all the while Tomorrow provides the combiner with an enormous power boost as the combiner aims well because of the increased cognitive abilities due to Because. Why? I Don't Know! He's the right leg, and I don't care!
Soundwave: What was that?
Megatron: I said I don't care!
Soundwave: Oh yes--that is the combiner team's Micromaster assist squad.
[Megatron facepalms, grumbling.]
