============<* Autobot GBS - Reports *>========================== Message: 2/19 (8w 4d)             Posted        Author Intel on Mimic                    Nov 10 2019   Glyph -- This is a detailed report of my findings on what the shapeshifting outlier has planned, while being held hostage.

It is clear to me that he intends harm on a global scale - the kind that will erase decades of precious history from everyone's minds. Whether it is actually possible or not, I will leave up to the scientists to conclude. But first, let me elaborate.

Mimic is the middle of constructing these devices we could call pylons. He intends to create multiples, link them, and remotely control and power them, creating an energy grid of sorts. These pylons are engineered to have a domino effect - once one activates all the others will, and will release a charged energy blast that will supposedly cause every Cybertronian to revert back to their last stable functioning build. What I mean by that, is that his current hypothesis is that every mech has an internal program that automatically keeps track of which version of themselves was happiest and most emotionally stable. Consequently, he believes this energy blast will cause everyone to revert back to that version.

Where the core power source for these pylons will be, I'm not sure. He wouldn't say, naturally.

Furthermore, the skirmish near the Mithril Sea was an experiment. He brought me there to lure the 'Bots there so he could test his theory of whether the pylons he'd created would work in grid format. He's already installed several at the bottom of the Mithril Sea, and plans to continue build more, the locations of which I can't be sure. What I do know is that I have a hunch that inwardly, he knows history could very well repeat. I saw several other larger pylons at his bunker - and if the smaller ones at the bottom of the Mithril could cause enough havoc at their already given size, who knows what the larger ones could do, memory wise.

Lastly, there's the matter of his suppliers. He revealed to me that he used to be part of Gallo's crew, and now that the former black marketer is dead, he's been doppleganging to all his contacts, who are mostly all offworld and unaware of the fact that Gallo isn't around anymore. Now, how he's receiving his payloads, I can't be sure of. Blurr pointed out that he isn't spaceworthy, so he's either commuting offworld to get his supplies, or somehow is sneaking them onto Cybertron under the radar.

Either way, both the location of the core power source and how Mimic is getting his payloads warrants investigation. Time is of the essence. If he's managed to accomplish all this in the time since Gallo's death, who knows what he will manage in the next several decacycles...

Signed, Glyph
