#egg beasts

What kind of animal will Ramjet transform into when he becomes the Cyborg Beast Pulsejet?

Dear Pulsejet Pursuer,

Oh dear, I'm afraid this answer's more complex than I first thought. I didn't realize humans had so many names for his species. His alternate mode has at various points been called a slater, doodle bug, potato bug, carpenter, butchy boy, boat-builder, chisel bob, gramersow, crunchy bat, chucky pig, granny grey, or parson pig.

In any case, Pulsejet's appearance may be familiar to you all.

Vector is a fool about many things, but here at least he tells the truth—or at least, a white lie. Unicron lacked even a hint of a creative spark; his one great creation was the Mini-cons, but even they were originally envisioned as existing in his image, like Dead End. Now with Vector's knowledge banks, I can see that pattern repeated throughout the cosmos: the Egg Beasts, the Sparkbots, the Cyclone Mini-Cons... it speaks to a perverse form of narcissism.

His one attempt at creating his own "Dark Prime" ended up a sparkless beast, and even that was a mere copy of Optimus. No, when Unicron wishes for a servant, he will always corrupt rather than create, molding a Nemesis Prime servant from a former Autobot "hero"—this has been known since the tales of old, but I see now that the likes of the Fallen are more than just legends.

Dear Partner Perceiver,
