Video [Transmission Originating From: Megatronus's Quadrant]

[redshirtrobot]

[The video comes on rather unexpectedly, and there's... really not that much to see besides a blur of mottled brown and green, and purple and silver. The sound is really more interesting for a while, all clattering and banging and someone shrieking. After a while of this there's a sound like 'whumph whumph whumph', each noise accompanied by a flash on the screen. Eventually the movement stops, until the purple blur shoves around and extracts itself...

And reveals it's a certain Vehicon, armor dented and paint scratched. One of his arms is converted into a rifle.]

I... I think I killed it.






...






I killed it!

[At least he sounds happy until the horrible centipede starts twitching in its death throes... at which point Fracas yelps sharply and starts shooting it again until it stops moving.

And then he kicks it. Just to be sure.]

Okay now it's dead.

Well, can't blame ya there. But a mob of slightly more competent mooks? Seems more annoying than challengin'.

[Video]

[redshirtrobot]

Lucky for you I'm the only one that's slightly more competent then, huh? You only have to be annoyed for a while.

Well, shooting bugs is one thing. Takin' on bots? That's another.

I'm working up to it. Shockwave's been... trying to get me there. It's not like I fight all that often.

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

...Which Shockwave.

[He just has to make sure.]

The big pointy one that owns the worm.

[Which is how he knows the worm.]

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[Annnd he's gonna point that out.]

So THAT'S how ya know the worm.

[Video]

[redshirtrobot]

Yep. And that's probably why it likes me. Aside from me knowing how to pet it, that is.

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

I think it's cause you're a Con.

[His level of thinking is much simpler.]

[Video]

[redshirtrobot]

And I think you're being discriminatory.

[It's not his fault he gives the best pets and no one can see it up the worm.]

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Just statin' the obvious. Can't see the giant DECEPTICON worm goin' for Autobot pals.

[Video]

[redshirtrobot]

I don't know. I don't actually know how it feels about that sort of thing.

[Hands go to face like a claw for that 'open mouth' impression.]

[Video]

[redshirtrobot]

...

It has feelings. Even with the - [He brings his own claws up to mimic the impression.

Somewhere behind that mask, he is rolling his one good optic.]

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

...

You're right.





That looks so stupid.

[Video]

[redshirtrobot]

Well it took you long enough to agree with me.

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

You expected any less?

[Video]

[redshirtrobot]

... Not really, no.
