[Ultra Magnus can be seen sitting at his desk. Placed across it is a giant war hammer, glowing faintly.

Oh, and there's something yipping in the background. Not quite like a dog, not really. Some might recognize it as the sounds of a lively turbofox.

Really, Magnus just looks exasperated.]

I don't suppose someone wants to take this creature off my hands. I've no use for it.

[rednotbluethx]

[YOU WOUND HIM, MAGNUS.]

Aw, c'mon, Autobutt. I've got me experience, y'see. [He won't mention how Frank likes him because that's embarrassing as Hell.] I know how t'take care of the little guys.

Ain't no else as qualified as me, y'know!

[warborn]

...how'd you end up with a turbofox?

And what's with the hammer?

[Video]

[thehardway]

[Sighs.]

I was in the junkpile. I found the hammer, as it was labeled to me for some reason. The turbofox was also there and decided to follow me, despite my attempts to shoo it away.

Snuck right into the office.

A warhammer with your name on it.

[blink]

Maybe you two can play fetch.

[sciencetank]

... Where on Cybertron did you acquire a hammer of that size?

[Last he checked you didn't have one, sir.]

What creature?

voice;

[thehardway]

Junkpile. It had my name on it.

[He sighs quietly and points the camera down to the yipping, cheerful turbofox practically prancing around him.] This.

[sciencetank]

Did it? I wonder if it's at all similar to... hm.

[And as soon as Magnus points the camera, Perceptor's face lights up like -- well. Like a kid on Christmas.]

Fascinating. I've never seen such a thing alive... I would be more than pleased to take it off your hands.

[... as a lab rat.]

[Video]

[winged_knight]

...I assume you mean whatever is making that noise. Which sounds a bit like an overly excitable turbofox?

And wow... [Thats one heck of a weapon.] Nice hammer. You never struck me as a melee type but then again I can't say I though that much about it.

[Video]

[thehardway]

The hammer had my name on it. I know hand-to-hand combat, but I've never really used melee weapons before.

...That would be because it is a turbofox.

[Video]

[winged_knight]

Yes, there seem to be a number of things popping up with people's name one them. [He seems to have greatly mixed feelings about this, but among them suspicion is obvious.]

It's too bad I don't have much experience with long hafted weapons, though I have watched Axe's training sessions which would be an applicable style, and some of the Great Swords stances might apply... [He's thinking out loud now, and suddenly realizes it.] Err, assuming you want to learn to use it...

That's...amazing really! There's so little life on this world. [He leans forward as if to get a better look.] You don't want him? He seems to want you!

[vandalization]

Whoa... is that a DOG?!

[thehardway]

It's a turbofox, Vandal.

[raceme]

[Oh yes, Hammers + Ultra MAgnus, the way it needs to be. Blurr approves. He also think that sounds is made by HIS turbofox.]

Oh MAGNUS where did you find that hammer? And sorry if FRANK is bothering you, I will come to pick him up.

video

[thehardway]

It was in the junkpile. I found it not long after our conversation.

I don't think it's Frank.

Action!

[raceme]

[WHAT'S THAT WHAT'S THAT WHAT'S THAT ...Frank sure recognizes it, and he's really glad to hear that sound.

His ears go up and when he figures out where the sound came from he rushes inside Ultra Magnus's office.]

Action!

[thehardway]

Frank--

[The turbofox determined to try to be on Ultra Magnus's lap perks up and starts yipping even MORE somehow, dashing over to see Frank, tail wagging.

Magnus rubs his forehead.]

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Hey, these things becoming standard issue for the police force or somethin'?

Either that or that 'Santa' guy nabbed Blurr's.




I can train it for ya.

[No, you don't want him training it.]

[Video]

[thehardway]

No. It followed me.

Wheeljack, you need training before you can train a turbofox to behave.

[Video]

[shutupndrive]

I'll take it.

[Right now he needs something to cheer him up, what with Knock Out being a douchebag and everything.]

Or at least come take it off your hands for a bit so you can get some peace and quiet, notdad.

[Video] 1/2

[thehardway]

Ah, Smokescreen.

[Hmm, this might be a good idea.]

It... seems he has a name now. So if you'd like, you can--

[Video]

[thehardway]

...Notdad?

[video]

[aerospacecommander]

You could always just shoot it and be done with it.

[thehardway]

You have five seconds before I'm closing this line, Starscream.
