#tf brainstorm

=== A few joors earlier === Perceptor did not know what to expect when Brainstorm told him they will be traveling to the future. He expected some sort of complicated magical array, a crystal array, even for Brainstorm to take out of nowhere some materials and construct some lager ‘invention’ of his, instead once they had travelled far enough from the crew, Brainstorm opened the mysterious case he’d been carrying around and working on to reveal the complex yet compact structure inside. The lights, cables, even the parts were way stranger and more delicate than any tool Perceptor had seen so far. Then Brainstorm flipped a lever, a black rectangular crystal plate lit up with strange symbols running across it. Perceptor could not read them but he was fascinated how it worked, almost instinctively his servo moved to touch it. “Ah-Ah! No touching, this is delicate and I barely got it functioning properly after you sma- Err… after it broke.” – Brainstorm shoved his servo away. Perceptor paused, looking a bit guilty. He had broken the device, hadn’t he? When he attacked Brainstorm, he must have broken it in the scuffle, but before he started a negative thought thread, Brainstorm snapped him out of it by pulling out a chain. “Now, the machine was made to transport one mech, so we have to be smart here. If we stand close and I tie you to me, then we’ll be able to fit in the temporal field of the machine and travel safely without one of us falling and being forever lost in the timestream and perish!”- Brainstorm said almost cheerfully. Before Percy could even say anything about that, he was quickly spun around, his back struts facing Brainstorm. Rattle~Crrk kling- clack! And was quickly strapped to the front of said mech in a makeshift harness. Perceptor looked back at Brainstorm with a flat look, entirely unimpressed. “Alright, now, brace for it, this baby is a bit rough around the edges so it might shake- Oh, and please keep your limbs close to your chassis, least you lookse one or accidentally impale me with your claws.” – Brainstorm warned, ignoring the flat look.

OH OH and not so important but my friend and I have been discussing the story of this AU and ohboy it brings back memories, I don't remember if I ever mentioned something about this AU's lore... What would be y'all's take on this AU lore? (ﾟ⁠οﾟ⁠人⁠)⁠)
