That night, at the Ferromax Detention Center in Iacon, one of the many prisons on Cybertron which Photonblade made to match even the likes of Megatron's Kaon Prison Complex, Blockwave waited and waited for megacycles.


It was all he could do right now. After his failed escape attempt thanks to Stashbook's sweet-talking, Ztrypticon's ingrained hatred of Metroplex, and the Insecticons abandoning the Decepticons, his transformation cog had once again been disabled.


And then they'd severed his limbs and then bolted him to a wall in his prison cell, now more reinforced thanks to Photonblade and Solus Prime.


Honestly, he was kind of impressed. The Autobots had gone through several lengths to be sure no prisoners escaped, and this time around? Well, for Blockwave's taste, this instance really takes the Energon goodie and oil cake and he feels a small semblance of jealousy for it.


A motion activated light flickering and flashing outside his cell drew his attention to a faded red Autobot guard walking past his cell. And then, the femme guard says to someone Blockwave couldn't see from his position, "This one's empty enough as it is. Throw them in here."


A gruff mech guard's voice asks in response, "You are sure? You do know who occupies that cell, right?"


The femme guard shrugs as she answers while opening the cell, "Well, he's about as notorious and sinister as they are separately and put together. Might as well make it fair."


Blockwave didn't say a word whatsoever as Thundercracker was forced inside the cell, accompanied by a hover sled dropping off the prone forms of Starscream, Strywarp, Xundercracker, and Skywarp before it was taken back outside the cell.


Thundercracker's bonds vanish into the thin air of Cybertron's atmosphere even as he notices Blockwave's predicament and he says even as the cell door seals up, "Oh. You're still online despite your predicament."


Blockwave replies pointedly before asking, knowing all too well for the first time that he had been abandoned by his fellow Decepticons and knowing full well that the remnants of Decepticon High Command on Cybertron were either dead or in prison, "Yes indeed I am. Are you the rescue party?"


Thundercracker replies while taking a seat on the benches, "Nope. No, we're not the rescue mission. Might as well settle in here. Things have not gone well since you lost the second Space Bridge to Zimlock's team."


Blockwave resisted the urge to say, "It is not like I have anything else to do right now in the long-term," since he knows that Thundercracker was smart enough to see the obvious.


Meanwhile, in the interrogation room, Scrapper asks as the last of the Robo-Smasher's Decepticon programming is permanently blocked and then deleted, "So, you were never on our side?"


Punch answers, "No. Neither were Rimedraft, Sledgeboot, Kneemap, Grunch, Gongarm, Dronicfire, Toxinracer, Deep Cover, Stakeshift, Clockwave, Aquaflare, Arctech, Arcadon, Warpblade, Stormspeeder, Boltbuzz, Honeyhive, Shiftshade, Quickpaw, Waveshock, Glitchforce, Opticview, Stealth Phantom, Prowlstar, Zoomzap, Cheesemaster, Fangclaw, Toxic Fury, Rollmorpher, Junkdigger, Signalshift, Spybot 6X, Toniforce, Valorstrike, Spectrospark, Rustyarder, and Foulfume."
