"What? WHAT? What is it? Tell Ignatz what it is!?!?"
Kilastra couldn't tell for sure if he was only pretending to be like Grimlock, or if that's how he actually was...
"Well... I can't be completely sure, becuase Megatron apparently decided to invent a whole new set of words to define his invention, but I think this shuttle is a powerful new weapon of some kind."

Each green light began to flash, and she chose one of them for in-depth information. A table of data appeared on the screen in the area where that light was flashing, revealing most essential info on that particular pod.
