@ShiningSector Sorry for all the confusion. Hopefully everything is clarified now though.
Unfortunate that things turned as they did but I am still game. I'll have a post up very soon.

Sooo...My apologizes on my part if I am failing to understand the current flow of the conversation (I've been in and out creating the next post). Is @Zelosse's post in canon with the leader's conversation or meant to be implied after the two have settled talking? Or simply ignored if I am understanding correctly?
Half tempted to have Artos freeze 'er mouth shut. "You're gonna wake the dead with that kinda chatter"
That is so amusingly tempting.
DIALOGUE
@Prodigal Son Can someone talk that long without pausing? (friggin mass wall of purple words)
((working on my post))
For most of the meeting's duration, Turbulence remained high in the sky in his gunship mode at an observant altitude while his compatriots ascertained the newcomer's stance and intentions. Per Prism's request, he had since signaled the caravan of Junkions regarding an unidentified and unknown affiliated aerial Cybertronian however likely they were Decepticon and was sticking close to them but nonetheless had his alt mode's chin turret steadily trained on the possible Seeker. The conversation apparently started with would-be Decepticon speaking into their channel declaring he was not a 'Con. Having their communications compromised was something that annoyed Turbulenc, believing them to have been secured. But with Prism basically having said her intentions over an open line, the flyer made the logical approach in defusing the situation and landed in order to negotiate in person.
There was also the case of Nightscream sporting a newer, more powerful and larger chassis than before and, if considered obnoxious, blared her afterburners into a loud sonic boom as she arrived as well. While she openly exclaimed her exhilaration of her flight, Turbulence guess she was testing out her new improved form and became overly impressed with the results. Good for her on that note but the presence of an unknown factor was something Turbulence was not keen on ignoring.
As he continued to listen to the conversation over the channel, the newcomer's name was none other as the battlefield myth called Cyclonus. Unfortunate that the two never met on the same battlefield in some regards but if anything, he only recalled stories of the old Decepticon in which painted him into a big player in the Decepticon's largely known and elite staff. As Sklog seemingly bowed to Cyclonus, a sudden behavior Turbulence didn't count on from the former dinobot, the ancient Cyclonus vocally attempted to water down his fame and further explained his falling out from the Decepticons ranks and only now regarding Prism's signal as a priority objective to investigate.
While Prism laughed at the Cyclonus' query her weapons however remained trained on the ex-Decepticon, likely though unknowingly sharing Turbulence's hesitancy to accept Cyclonus' neutrality given he was an elite warrior on the sire they fought for so long. Serving his purpose already, Turbulence willingly stayed out of the conversation already having privatizing his line and maintained his superior position over their convoy where he had a perfect coverage and aim over Cyclonus if he were to prove indeed hostile. Only time will tell if - like his other formerly Decepticon counterparts previously - Cyclonus could be trusted and allied with.

@ShiningSector
Waiting on a post, bro.
My bad, a bit of a misunderstanding on my part who would post next.
"Thanks for the tip!" shouted Travis as he acknowledged Raiya's new bit of information
While setting up the coffins as a makeshift barricade had bought them time, the legion of skeletons continued their assault without slowing. After repulsing a bone-walker that attempted to crawl over the barricade by dislodging its skull, Nemo once more queried Travis, this time for his attention to something fascinating.
"As long as it saves us." Travis replied without turning away from repelling another skeleton.
He then observed Nemo cast and projected a mana shield around them before speaking to Raiya regarding his previously discussed infamy and stated that he was liable for his crimes via overly-destructive explosions. Travis gulped as he heard this.
Perhaps to make his point as clear as the architecture around them, Nemo summoned a large X into the ground, encompassing them and the barricade too. Like a jet engine starting up, the X began to make a notable humming sound that slowly grew louder as it became brighter as well. Travis didn't need those symptoms told to tell him that this spell gathering mana as he felt the massive surge of mana spiking all around them.
Upon Nemo saying the trigger word for the spell, everything then erupted outside the mana shield in an explosive blinding light. Though the shield prevented the destruction from including them, Travis could feel the sheer blast shaking and thundering throughout his body. As the resulting haze cleared up for the most part, Nemo had dropped the shield in order to allow its occupants to survey the destruction. The makeshift barricade that served its purpose in dispelling the skeleton's magic was was comply obliterated with pieces of man crystal shredding the skeletons close-by and away from Nemo's powerful spell and those shrapnel that missed anything were practically lodged into the walls and floors with potentially little hope to remove by hand.
While a few, barely moving skeletons still remained, it seemed for the moment that Nemo had wiped the majority of the horde out through his torrent of destruction. Travis could only stare in awe at the ruination before turning to and finding Nemo gulping down a mana crystal with little care. As unusual as that appeared, Travis was willing to let him have the moment for the time being.
"That was cool." Travis openly admitted.

Turbulence maintained his forward place ahead of the convoy of Junkions, serving his role as their eyes and ears. As they moved away from the City of Kaon, the structures that either stood high or crumbled down began to diminish in size and numbers until they eventually cleared the cityscapes and into the outskirts of the Decepticon capital. It would be soon that his ground borne compatriots would meet metallic sand after leaving the more smoother and once gloried roads of civilization behind them.
Back into the desert that has since consumed much of Cybertron's former pristine, Turbulence raised his altitude further away from the earth below him in an effort to achieve a superior vantage point and to distance his alt mode windy influence over the sands less he creates an unintentional sandstorm and bogs down those on the ground. While the act was nature to him given his training, Turbulence wrestled with the idea that whether he should maintain or forgo his cautious demeanor as acting escort. True, it is was standing procedure for someone like him to fulfill as a flyer but with their planet being dead as it was as they pushed onwards, Turbulence debated whom else was left behind and were they any threat to them. His Decepticon counterparts proved trustworthy for the most part and the once territorial Junkions were approachable as first. It was only mutant Cybertronians however that proved hostile and willing to compromise their well being. But surely those couldn't be lurking around could they?
Suddenly, Turbulence's radar and motion sensors were tripped as they detected an unidentified object fast approaching their way. Turbulence quickly set to work obtaining a visual feed of the interloping entity. Could it be more debris? A likely possibility but his analysis of the trajectory gave a more linear flight-path; an unusual entry of any space junk to approach by. Just before he could ponder more on the object's identity, he soon acquired a capture of the object's profile
"Huh, what is- Whoa!" Turbulence exclaimed in surprise. Carelessly, Turbulence nearly forgot to adjust his own flight-path in order to safely move out of the way as the blurred entity shot over him. While there was no risk of a collision at his given altitude in contrast but entering a flying Cybertronian's airspace unannounced was nearly as bad as violating their own personal space.
It became quickly apparent that the interloper was not falling junk, but another Cybertronian! It was unknown whoever this was saw Turbulence or the convoy below but they didn't appear to immediately change their vector upon passing over them. Examinging the newcomer, Turbuelnce could confirm a sleek fighter-like alt-mode with an ever familiar purple paint scheme.
"Guys, I got visual contact on an unknown flyer...looks like a Decepticon Seeker from where I'm flying." Turbulence reported as he cautious brought his weapon systems back online.

@Forsythe You've probably never head of Whirl before because (sadly) he never appeared in any of the movies or TV series. Whirl has only popped up in the Transformers comics since 1985. He first appeared was in the Marvel Transformers comic line for awhile as a Wrecker. But like many characters in the comic series, he had varied scenes. He also appeared in the more recent Regeneration One series from Marvel too.
He also had a brief appearances in the Transformers Animated comic, the Dreamwave comic series, and a few others too.
His current and more developed and fleshed out appearance (you end up feeling bad for him later on) is in the IDW comic series (mainly in Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye). Its possibly this series is where Whirl is more defined and is plenty popular with the following fandom.

Thank you and hell yeah! I love that guy's work! And I love the MTMTE comics as well.
Exactly what I thought of when I saw Whirl being hinted! This is gonna be good.
And indeed it did. Don't worry, I already changed it. :)
Awesome! I may make spontaneous references to the series or other works so I am curious which issue / volume / story ark you're on.
@pyroman@Lmpkio@Forsythe
I'm curious if holoforms will see any kind implementation here (i.e. holographic human representations/persona, often a false pilot/driver for a transformer not to appear suspicious in public when in alt mode).
