A message comes through the communications.
"Message for any important rich people. Hey, any important rich people hanging around there?"
The image of Hotwire, the red and white rotorcraft, flashed onto the screen. It was impossible to determine her location, because she was standing in a newly-made cave, "Ladies and gennelmen, I am currently in possession of a limited edition Transformer mech. Hey, look!"
She stood aside, showing that behind her was a white and blue predacon wolf in a very large cage.
"Bidding is also open to curious Human Scientists and any passing alien races. Bidding starts on Evil-Bay in- hey, don't look at me like that!" she told the wolf.

A reply to this message is heard as comm-channels are patched together by a vehicon operator. The reply it's self seems to come from and unknown caller
' Limited edition? The best edition if you ask me...'
The voice pauses
' How much you want? And how much will I pay? Such entertaining questions yes? '
The voice lets out a mad laugh

Skyscrapper waltsed by as he saw the message. Knowing what he could do with another Predacon he thought he might as well join in on the bidding. Afterall Death Wish wouldn't mind a couple minute delay for a chance at a new warrior.
What's the starting price?

"It's one million credits, and cheap at the price, might I say. Not a scratch on him, barely out of the box," Hotwire smiled, "Of course, not everybody has credits so there's also these fellows selling the equivalent value of upgrades and if you don't mind... here he is on Evil-Bay..."
Hotwire laughed.
"Ooooh, some fella over in the Andromeda Galaxy is wanting for a robotic slave!"

' History of your little friend? I want to know who I'm hiring here... '
He adds
' Don't want to waste money on a coward or someone with the equivalent though capacity of a large pile of rocks, yes? '

How about a trade, Death Wish my commander has been meaning to give away a rather failed experiment. He isn't exactly what we wanted, but might do well for you.
Skyscrapper said with a hideous smile on his face. This failed experiment was supposed to be bringing back Death Wish's old self. It kind of went south, and Scrappy doesn't really want to mess with it anymore. He was going to give it to the bounty hunters who Death wish hired, but they never finished the job, so this might work out.
Afterall, isn't someone helping you out worth more then a mere million credits? All I would ask is 10% come back to the Kaocons. So what do ya say?

"Helix. Y'know, son of Feenix-Fire and Gearchange? Better hurry; I think they're looking for him already!"
Hotwire continued.
"It's up well past a million creds, hunny-bucket," she added to Skyscrapper, "I'm good working on my own, thanks."

Wait Helix, I'll beat any current offer by a million! Death Wish would definitely enjoy having a Change as his prisoner.
Skyscrapper, was sure they had quite a few credits stored up, afterall there were four of them combining their credits, and they get payed weekly. Especially Death wish who's a decent rank.

"Yeah, well, that's cool... if you can afford it..."
Hotwire smiled on the screen, "There's... let me see... current highest bid is a solar system's asteroid belt, useful for setting up an evil mining operation. Got one of those to spare, sweetie? Wow, since slavery got outlawed, Cybertronians are really valuable!"

How about a small ship with say 25 Vehicon's on board. Formerly my old science ship, completely customizable, good for hauling things, and still possesses a fully functional light speed drive. One thing I've noticed is that bounty hunters need to get to sites quickly, as well as get away from them quickly.
In addition, the Kaocons make enemies, that we don't always want to take out ourselves. a good relationship with a bounty hunter is good, and you would be our regular hunter. We would always go to you for all of our bounties.
Skyscrapper said with some confidence, thinking he might have a chance.

"Ooooh, top bid so far!" Hotwire told him, "Full time contracted to the Red Death and a new, fully crewed ship..."
Other bids were shifting in acknowledgement that this was the sort of thing Hotwire was looking for in her bids. It probably cost less, but security was always nice.
Over at her place, she was doing checkups to make sure who of her contacts could afford what they were offering.

Skyscrapper would send a comm to Death Wish, letting him know why he was late.
*Sorry, Death Wish. Just got in a bid for the Autobot Helix.*
*Helix!! How much are we spending so far?*
*The old science ship, and 25 Vehicons.*
*Fantastic, just don't lose this bid, I shall wait patiently. Excellent job Skyscrapper, just fantastic. Death Wish out.*

Hotwire comms through.
"Good news, gennelmen, the Andromeda galaxy has pulled out! They don't have the same need for this adorable Pred as you guys have! Keep bidding!"

Skyscrapper comms Death Wish with an update.
*One of the bidders pulled out, it looks like we're in good shape.*

The voice from before laughs
' Looks like I will be biding too... '
the voice adds
' I will give a choice... 75 million and one credits... OR... The location of a crashed alien spaceship, salvage rights and all... The ships filled with tech, could be worth more than anyone's current bid... or could not... consider it a gamble, a fun little game... '

I'll give 80 million in credits, the ship that I already mentioned, and 30 Vehicon soldiers at your disposal.
Skyscrapper said knowing he had to beat out the others, Helix was too valuable to let go. He wanted that Autobot so badly he could taste it!

The transmission was abruptly cut off, prohibiting the bidders from staying at it. The cut was clearly on the end of the bounty hunters, without warning. There was no more bidding, and no more fun for the maniacs aboard the ship. Something had occurred on the other end, but since the bounty hunter had not given her location, no one would be able to know where she was for that matter. The her signals had been jammed none the less...
