[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?]

Like a monster of some sort? I could go inside and stop a few gears from working, I suppose. If you killed it, I'd just be in a heap of junk and need to be picked up.

[His hand rubs the back of his neck.]

I can go to four minutes before they die and...possibly alter that death. You know, save it.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Well this sounds incredibly awesome.]

Hey, if it ever looks like I'm gonna croak, do your time changey thing.

Unless, you know, I'm going out like a badaft. [In which case, just witness and be amazed that you knew him.]

[youdiedagain]

Just try not to let it happen. I don't know if I can do that, and I'd rather not find out and be wrong.

[He pats the seat affectionately.]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Hey, come on! One way to find out, right?

Before that, though, ought see if you can, whatever, possessinate an Acolyte or something. [Because troll potential: off the charts.]

[youdiedagain]

Hey, I'm not going to mess with something's internal machinery if they haven't done anything.

[LAMP CHECK YOSELF BEFORE YOU WRECK YOSELF.]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

You're no fun.

[Because, seriously. You could take over an Acolyte and go on buddy adventures with Whirl!]

[youdiedagain]

I'd like to think there's a fine line between having fun and getting in trouble.

Now, opening a cabinet door to accidentally send a little dog flying through a room? That's fun. Possessing a living being? Not so much.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

I like to set that line on fire.

[It's truer than you think!]

[youdiedagain]

It could get out of control.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

It could get fun.

[He fixed that for you.] Come on. How you gonna know your limits if you never push 'em?

[youdiedagain]

I...guess that's true. But using people as puppets?

Seems a bit wrong.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

How 'bout just using bad people.

[Sorted!]

[youdiedagain]

Well...I guess to defend others. That doesn't seem so bad.

Like stop them if they're about to hurt someone.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Whatever. Whirl just wants to see you do it.]

Whatever flips your alt, man.

[youdiedagain]

...Come again?

[whirlybird_of_prey]

What? You know. Whatever makes you happy, or whatever.

[Whatever. Whirl wins at articulate!]

[youdiedagain]

...Thanks.

I know it doesn't mean much really, but I appreciate it.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Eh. [Don't make him feel all uncomfortable and weird.]

Just saying. World's full of annoying people being happy. Might as well have someone cool.

[youdiedagain]

...Cool? That's the first time I've been called that. And by a giant robot, no less.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

What? You don't think you're cool? You can possess guns.

[The coolness speaks for itself. Seriously.]

[youdiedagain]

I guess. Although I'm not sure how they...work. I guess it doesn't matter if the result is the same.
