Authors note: This wasn't set during any particular episode. Just some kooky little thing thought up within like ten minutes.
It was lunchtime on the set of Transformers: Armada. Everyone was exhausted from the earlier events in the show. Particularly the Decepticons, who just happened to get a thrashing in the first few scenes.
The Decepticons and the Autobots left the set and were scattered out among the large studio. During the off time, they enjoyed chatting. Yes, even Megatron had a good time.
Over on the moon base set, Cyclonus was sitting with Demolisher. They were just talking about how they hated getting shot down, twice. Mainly due to their scene had to be repeated.
"Hey Demolisher, ever wonder why we're the ones always getting shot at and not that Starscream?" asked Cyclonus as he took a sip from his hot mug, which contained what humans would call an energon espresso.
Demolisher swirled his cup watching the pink liquid swirl around. "I think the director likes seeing us get shot," he said blandly.. Sitting up, he looked to Cyclonus, who was wearing a confused expression. "Why else would he keep calling cut all the time? I know he says that the shot could be better, but how many times do we need to get laser blasted before he gets the right shot?"
The chopper was actually thinking as Demolisher took another sip. The latter then looked over to the director who was currently in a chat with one of the cameramen. Sighing, he took a sip of his energon.
"Hey Smokescreen, that was pretty funny seeing Starscream come crashing down like that. Even if it wasn't supposed to be like that, the director put it in," laughed Hotshot as he sat down, almost spilling his own energon.
Smokescreen just shook his head and laughed with Hotshot. "It may have been funny, but it still wasn't in the script. Due to your miss fire."
"Aw Smokescreen," whines Hotshot. The yellow Autobot's fun was ruined now. He leaned over and looked away. Curious to something, he looked up only to see Smokescreen laughing, and then even not wanting to, he had to laugh also.
Megatron was off somewhere. His red optics had dimmed. He was leaning against a wall with what seemed to be a headset on his head along with a CD player in his hand. His head was bobbing some and was unaware that he was being watched. He just swayed his hand back and forth with the tune of the song. He then started to sing along with the song, which got everyone staring.
When his optics lit up, he looked over and froze. All eyes were on him and all were wearing blank expressions. This was not good for the Decepticon leader. His face would look pale when he saw Starscream chuckling. Then after a few moments, the entire set broke out in laughter.
Megatron removed the headset and CD player and tossed them aside. Growling, he aimed the cannon on his side at the cast and crew. "Nobody laughs and get away with it," he growled before his own laugh was set loose as he fired his cannon.
An hour later, all Transformers were getting repairs. The human crew also had to take a visit to the hospital. Megatron however, had been yelled at by the director and was cast out for the day. Which, he had to obey. Even the great Decepticon leader must listen to his director.
Megatron grumbled as he went to his trailer and stayed there for the rest of the day.
The episode that they were shooting was delayed and was to be redone the next day when everyone was better.
This caused a re-run of previous episodes, much to some delight and hatred. In the end, everything went well and that was just not even the worst lunch break. Oh no, it has been much worse.
