[The location behind everyone's least favorite helicopter looks almost like a workshop. And body parts. Seems Whirl's found himself Ironfist's impromptu workshop and yeah there's probably valuable SCIENCE in here, but whatever.]

[He's got dollies.]

[He'll hold one Acolyte helm up to the lens.]

Whirl! Whirl is the best Autobot!  

[The other helm.]

                                                                       He is a hundred million times cooler than Cyclonus!

[And now a puppet show!] And hotter than Rodimus!

                                                                        And soberer than Fortress Psychomus!

And smarter than Drift--Okay really, that's not so hard.

[Enough fun. Onto the srs bsns.]

Right. So, who all was that purple goon after again?  [Anyone he should actually give a scrap about?]

[He does not get you.]

What? It's, you know, positive self-talk. Just...with hand puppets.

[rungout]

It's a bit on the morbid side, don't you think?

[He drops his hand, giving the other an exasperated look.]

I approve of the positive self talk, even if you are insulting others but that's something we can work on. Just..not the puppets.

...says the mech who got his head shot off. Right.

Not an insult if it's true.

[Wait.]

....you don't think I'm better than Cyclonus?

[Video]

[rungout]

[That gets him a slight wince.]

...Thanks for that.

[Rung sighs again.]

I don't think anyone is better than anyone else, Whirl. Please don't try to paint me as taking sides because I'm not.

What? Oriented to reality, right? That's good, isn't it?

[See, Rung? He totally listens during his sessions!]

Uh. You better think I'm better than someone. You know, like maybe the guy who was gonna kill you to get the ship to turn around?

[Okay. Rung's had enough of this ]

Whirl. I don't blame Fortress Maximus. I never have. Yes I had my issues with the situation when I first got here but I've gotten past it all now because Ive come to terms with it.

Me feeding your ego isn't going to help you so I reuse to play your game. I like you, Whirl, and I respec you despite all the times you've threatened me or messed with me. But I will not stand for you downplaying others just to make yourself feel better.

[He's not outright angry but there's that underlying anger there. As my anger as Rung can muster.]

I know it's a foreign concept to you because you think everyone hates you but I don't. I want to help you but the way you act and treat others makes it impossible.

It you decide you want to actually talk without insulting me and others, you know where my office is.

[And with that, the feed cuts.]
