[Video][Origin: Nexus Temple]

[The network opens up to a very nice picture of what appears to be the face of some sort of stuffed animal pressed against the screen. It then pulls back, showing that this is an apparently disgruntled stuffed animal, and then smacks its face against the screen once more.

Rinse and repeat.]

Ngh..!

NGH..!

[Whatever is on the screen is clearly alive, and by the looks of things ...trying to go through the screen of its device in some sort of weird last ditch effort to escape. Whatever was explained to this thing about the current situation fell on deaf ears. I'm sure he has a good reason for thinking this device is some kind of portal...]

GAAHAH! Someone get me outta here!

[He may or may not have accidentally turned his device on while slamming his face against it.]

[And Wheeljack watched this display...over...

and over
and over
and over

until the novelty eventually ran out. Now he was just slightly bored as he continued to gaze at this...creature, his eyes fixated on the screen.]

So.

Ya gonna keep doin' that all day?

[Instant freeze.

There is a strange robot thing addressing him from this tiny TV. Oh dear.]

I-I dunno.

...Do you want me to?

[And he has no idea what you are but you're trying to shove your face at him.]

Won't lie, it'd be entertainin'. Most people do it once and loop it.

[Entertaining? Entertaining?!]

How cruel! Using a poor bear's suffering for you own amusement! Haven't you ever heard of animal cruelty?!

[No. No he hasn't.]

Is it really cruelty if you're doin' it to yourself?

Not like I'm stoppin' ya.

For your information, I had a darn good reason!

[He nods his head thoughtfully.]

I thought it was a TV.

[Yes. Great reason...]

Whoa. Now hold up. That changes everything.

It's all perfectly clear now.

[Can you sense that mocking sarcasm?]

[No, he probably can't. If it weren't for the fact that Teddie suddenly remembered he's currently talking to a robot, he probably would have thanked Wheeljack for understanding.

But as it is, Teddie becomes suspicious and isn't quite sure what to make of this new robot. The last time he saw one, the robot didn't exactly talk and had a nasty little habit of exploding. Were Shadows becoming more intelligent?]

What are you, anyhow?

Think that's more my line. Never seen anythin' like you before.

[Wow, rude. Teddie almost feels insulted.]

I am a bear, the most majestic of all creatures.

Ya just tried to shove your face through an interface panel, kid.

[You're not fooling anyone.]

I highly doubt that.

[He wasn't trying to fool anyone! It's a known fact!]

Yeesh, give a bear a break. You'd try to get the heck outta here, too, if you were surrounded by giant monsters with none of your pals around...

[His voice wibbles at the second half of that last sentence. He may very well start crying.]

Still not really sure what a bear is. I'm just gonna assume you're the default 'bear' setting.

[Oh Wheeljack...]

Look don't go gettin' all gushy on me. What do ya mean, giant monsters?

What do you mean, 'what do you mean'?! Have you looked in a mirror lately? Oh, I'm onto you, bub! You'll sweet talk me now, but when I least expect it: BLAM-O! No way, I'm not about to deal with anymore exploding robots!

[His one arm begins to flail.]

...Okay, in my defense, that gas station was in the way.

[Primus, some people just don't know when to let go.]

[There's a very loud, obnoxious gasp. Teddie points his paw accusingly at the screen.]

I knew it! Oh ho, you thought you had me, but guess again! I knew you were bear-culiar from the start!

[Wheeljack just listens to this guy rattle on.]

...Look, explosions just follow me, okay? My medic gets on my case about it enough.

They might follow you, but I'm the guy who's gotta deal with 'em. Just promise me when you come to attack, you'll at least give me a warning.

[Yes, he is convinced Wheeljack will come and attack him.]

How about I do ya one better? I don't attack at all?

Not really my style to go after guys who ain't done anythin' to me.

[Have the blankest stare ever.]

Wait, what? Really?

[What, did he say the magic word or something?]

Uh...yeah.

Nngh...

[Teddie is ...suspicious. As much as he likes the idea of robots not out to get him, he's just so used to the bad ones that this almost seems unreal. Almost. His whole life is pretty unbelievable, so maybe he can accept some rare exceptions.]

Okay, bub. I'm gonna trust you for now.
