Bumblebee waves it off, like the dumbfounded expression doesn't mean much. "Don't worry about it. I've gotten it from Metalhawk and Thundercracker both."

This tells Rodimus who from their reality is here. Bee knows he is going to have to explain all of that and he will. He owes Rodimus that much. Right now, though, he has to access what the other Autobot does know. Rodimus isn't from his point in time, that much he knows. That means he doesn't know that Bumblebee's... Best not talk about that for the time being.

What he is surprised about is that whole incident. There had been people in the street - on all factions - falling over in pain and he distinctly remembers not knowing what to do about it. It had ended almost as soon as it had stopped, but man it had felt like an eternity.

"You're going to tell me about that and don't let me forget," he says, somehow falling more into that gruff tone he had taken to during that year. It makes him wince. That's not something he really wants to go back to.

Bee rolls his shoulders and then leans forward. "I think I need to fill you in on things here first before we can talk about the stuff that had been going on back home - I am interested, Rodimus, don't think I'm not... But what's going on here and now is important too and, well. There is a variation of Starscream here and he's already pulled a stupid stunt."
