Interesting. I am, in fact, given to mysticism and occasionally religiosity, but knowing so little about your kind, it would be insulting for me to speculate.
I am a Trickster god, and thus I am nothing but filters, to the point where I occasionally misdirect myself. It's an occupational hazard. But I do tell the truth more often than I am believed, particularly when I'm interested in the outcome of a conversation or seeking friendly acquaintanceship.
I'm also a shapeshifter. Appearance is not necessarily a reliable way to tell one Loki from another.
I'm a shapeshifter, too...but I turn into a tank. I am sceptical of gods, although I certainly believe that you exist. There are a lot of beings that people call gods, and they're different in their powers and abilities.
I'm not given to worshipping anything. I haven't ever found humbling myself and letting it be known exactly how helpless I am in a given situation to be advantageous in any way, and the 'gods' of my people seem reliably to favour people who are not like me and mine. I do hope you won't hold that against me.
Despite my general lack of filters, I share with you that issue where I tell the truth more often than I am believed. People expect me to lie, and I rarely bother. I have told people exactly what I intended to do, and they have still been shocked that I did it.
Do you want to sit down somewhere and talk, or do you enjoy texting?
Divinity is impossible to quantify, as it should be. Sometimes, to understand something too well is to lose one's awe in the face of it. I have dear friends who are atheists or agnostic, and accept me as a sort of alien being without troubling themselves overmuch with the potential cognitive dissonance. I don't mind that. If it is impossible to view me as both a deity and a person, then I will always choose to be a person.
But now, I am curious to compare notes on shapeshifting. Where would you like to meet? I live in the Nexus, but I'm capable of travel.
I bet I could get to the Nexus. Ravage and Soundwave live there, don't they? I can't stay with them, because we have a bit of history, by which I mean that Ravage lived with me for the better part of a year during their "break", but I could visit you for a chat.
I'm more capable of travel than people here realise. This frame was built with multidimensional capabilities.
It would be easier to go to the Nexus than to get you on board the Lost Light.
It didn't occur to me to wonder until now, but how much space do you require to sit down for a chat? The plaza is mostly designed for human-sized individuals, with some small variation. I have a couple places of my own I could offer, though, and outdoors is an option failing those.
My own height is not superhuman, but I have been known to take a size closer to that of my biological forebears. Roughly eight or nine feet. I have a meeting hall designed for that form.
I can compress myself quite a bit before the stress on my frame becomes too uncomfortable to ignore. Thanks to an intriguing encounter with a human vampire, I discovered that I could still enjoy physical congress at a little over two metres' height, though I had to be careful not to build up so much heat that contact with me could cause damage. A conversation at eight-to-nine feet in your meeting hall should be fine.
However, the others of my kind cannot necessarily do that without the use of an unusual matter displacement technology which was built into this particular frame, so you should keep that in mind when dealing with other Cybertronians. I also have a human holomatter avatar, which I can use to speak with people while my physical form is parked elsewhere.
[Congress. Well, that's a more detailed response than Loki expected, but it also tells him a lot about what he might need to anticipate from Megatron.]
Mass compression is always more difficult than expansion. I can be, and have often been, as small as a Midgardian spider, but it took almost twenty years to learn it properly.
I'll keep the information in mind. I am...somewhat sensitive to heat in any form. Biologically, I am a species known as Jotun, or Frost Giants, in my universe. But I can tolerate any temperature a human can.
Shall I meet you in the Nexus, or will texting you the appropriate coordinates be sufficient?
