"There's no reason for you to join us," Ravage says with a shrug. "It's always a surprise to me when someone who's not Cybertronian, and not a resident of any of our sovereign or disputed territories, wants to join us, but it usually comes from some combination of a difficult personal history, an appreciation of our principles, however badly they have been observed, and affection for at least one or two of us personally, so Soundwave and I have chosen to accept those who want to be part of our movement even if they have no intention of ever residing in our universe."

He smiles. "That you're willing to help us is more than enough. Especially since Megatron left the movement, so it's clear that you're not doing this for his sake."
