Mainframe and Mixtape

The two of them are like two sides of the same coin. One is bitter and hangs on to the past, the other has let go, and become carefree.

Mainframe defected to the Decepticons after she, Mixtape, and their team were caught in an asteroid belt, where two asteroids crushed their ship, killing everyone on board except for Mixtape and Mainframe. Mixtape disappeared, and Mainframe assumed he was dead. Mainframe was left to try and drag her team out of the rubble, desperately trying to keep them alive long enough for help to arrive. However, after tapping into a nearby commlink using her Outlier (she is able to secretly hack into any frequency as long as it's in range) she discovers that while there was another Autobot ship nearby, they had been ordered not to risk their lives for a single motley patrol crew. She realized then that the higher ups viewed her and bots like her as expendable; unimportant.

Mixtape, on the other hand, was knocked out by the collision. He was sent flying through space by a piece of debris, where he was found by the Autobot ship. They told him what had happened, and while he secretly knew the truth, he accepted what had happened. For all he knew, going back to find his crew would just be a mission to find corpses. Plus, he knew that even if he was angry at the Autobots, being with the Decepticons would go against everything he stood for.

Both of them still hate asteroids and explosions.

Two friends driven apart not by the same experience, but how they let it shape them.
