This is why I am glad I was reminded to speak to you. I had left some information with Longarm, but again I assume it became backlogged due to all the recent incidents.

And perhaps my lack of urging how terrifying a situation we could potentially have. Forgive me for not bringing this forward sooner and checking to see this did get to you.

I had my own preoccupations but this is no excuse for me to neglect the dangers we could all be put into if my Megatron had gotten bored enough to hunt down someone to link to.

[ He bows to the camera apologetically. ]

I am no expert, but as someone who is a Combiner and Powerlinker I am the closest we might have currently to one besides Antlers.

No, I am glad you brought this to my attention in the first place. There has been a lot happening recently. [At least he knows to be extra care not to reveal his true form to just anyone, even if Minimus becomes well known.] You should warn Tailgate and Wasp of this, as they may have questions of their own.

[Though...now is his chance.]

For curiosity's sake, is is possible for a minibot to dislodge himself from a Powerlink? How difficult is it to save him if Megatron were to take hold of him?

[matrixofleadership]

Of course. I will alert them right away.

As for if one can dislodge themselves. Yes, but I am afraid it takes much of their willpower or an outside force's intervention. There are some cases where a powerlink has sent the symbiotic partner into stasis for the duration of the powerlink.

In a rare few cases, a powerlink has allowed the symbiotic partner to take full control of the host due to the host's weaker will allowing themselves to escape.

By "will" do you mean by the strength of their Spark, or simply a mental challenge between the host and the victim?

[matrixofleadership]

It is hard to say. I must admit though, the stronger the Minicon, the less likely they are to release themselves from stasis.

There are Nine Minicons who combine into three objects who go into stasis. They are unable to free themselves from this state without outside interference.

The Starsaber, Skyboom Sheild, and Requiem Blaster. They are our most powerful minicons groups and yet I have never seen them be able to free themselves.

But given this is a new dimension with Minibots and Minicons who might not follow the same rule. Perhaps I should make properly documented notes one of these days on the nature of the Minicons and powerlinking. I feel you may appreciate that and could help to thwart any attempts of my Megatron usurping someone else's will.

[legalcy]

[His Spark sinks. Of course he shouldn't have hoped it would be easy.]

Well. If you speak with one of the Medics, they should be able to help you in that regard. I do home that differences between our universes are enough to protect the crew from powerlinking.

End Transmission

[matrixofleadership]

I will go seek out a medic soon then.

Thank you for your time, Magnus.
