[Open][Shot like a Micheal Bay movie]
[While Skids might never admit openly that he likes showing off...he likes showing off. He likes the way gravity works, he likes the way you can calculate trajectories using different forces to turn unconventional weapons--such as, say, the dead body of a half-transformed comrade--into deadly flying time-bombs waiting to explode. He likes target practice, and he likes aerial maneuvers. He likes flower arranging, and he likes haberdashery. He likes skills he hasn't learned yet.]
...
[Right now, he likes ramps. While he is positive that this chunk of motor-vehicular-catastrophe fell through the lambda from some sadistic circus, he is not going to look a gift-cart under the axles. It is not his fault that a wicked half-pike with a 360 degree loop now exists on the edge of the junk pile, but it would be sinful not to at least try it once. He has even outfitted the end of the ramp with a pile of logs--though why he has done this will remain a mystery unless you see the video through to its end.]
Just in case this does not go as I expect it to, I have a few announcements to make.
First--I seem to be cured. Most of you know this, but I'm making it official. Pharma got rid of the problematic 'devouring the energon of the living' thing.
[Even if he still had the mandibles. Win some, lose some. He'd win more if he got to torment Prowl with them later.]
Second--since we've had a number of new folks...Hi. I'm Skids. Ex-Diplomat, Autobot, and in charge of the Zoning Commitee. I've seen a number of you talking about feeling marginalized, so I invite you to contact Black Arachnia and join one of our Special Committees.
Making a difference starts here.
[The application is attached.]
Third--Nexus is possibly the best Firstforged, and...
Fourth--I leave my possessions to the Road Crew, Dead End, Chromedome, and Perceptor. Here goes.
[At which point he transforms, and rolls sloooowly to the edge of the concrete jungle with the loop-de-loop at the end. For the rest--]
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[For the rest there is the sound of tires on pavement, an engine roaring, glass breaking, and...just after the sky turns into the ground and the ground turns into the sky, there is an explosion which comes from underneath the logs.
You can see them in the video, flying in the path of Skid's just-launched descent like a game of deadly frogger gone horribly awry. Logs. Everywhere. Falling.
Then, there is the sound of transformation. Just once.
The sea of logs parts, and is followed by a cloud of splinters...and what lands on the ground just beyond is either an attrocity--or the coolest thing ever.]
I did mention that Nexus was the best First-forged, didn't I?
[Meet Skid's second alt-mode--a wood shredder. Also, he may have broken more than one strut trying this, but he is not going to ruin the moment now.]

You're going to kill yourself.

Maybe without extra tentacles this time.

But I think I'm starting to like this place. It's relatively quiet, there are dozens of new alien life-forms to learn about, and something new and spontaneous is happening every day.
[He has to stay optimisitic about it, because if he starts focusing on the bad then he's going to crawl into a duct and never come out.]
You could come try it?

I'm not looking to die just yet...
no subject
[It's not the same alone.]
You could have first dibs on my power core that way.
no subject
And I'm not going to rip apart your corpse, Skids. Even if you would be tasty.
no subject
Alright.
I won't pressure you to participate, and you can tell me what an idiot I am for doing it anyway.
no subject
Alright. I'll, uh, head over now.
Please don't kill yourself before I get there.

...
I'll try not to bleed out too much energon. See you soon.
