"Time happened to it." Megatron says simply. "Time and the struggle against the Functionists." He regards the badge as he continues. "What was it...we were evacuating Elpasos before the Functionists arrived on their converted Cybertron to cleanse the planet. This was...two hundred years after I was stranded?" He thinks. "Somewhere around there. It was before they decided to convert the planet to have a robot mode. There were complications with the evacuation, so much that the Functionists arrived with Cybertron; if not, we'd have been well away with the Elpasan population, but the evacuation was only 90% complete. The Last Light had to run interference with what other ships we had at the time to keep Cybertron busy while our ground forces finished up the evacuation. The Functionists got in one good shot...hit the ship in the habitation block where my habsuite was. But we got the Elpasans out, relocated them to a planet well away from the Functionists' path. Wasn't until later when the ship was docked for repairs at a friendly port when I found the Star had been damaged in the battle. After that I kept it in here-" He pats the compartment on his chest. "Where I knew it would be safe."

Minimus' chiding causes him to look up in mild surprise. "Ah, you're right." He says. "There were pitchers of water..." He looks around.
