video; | location: the general area of Vector's temple

[stabbywheelfeet]

So let me get this straight.

[Says the unfamiliar -- well, maybe unfamiliar to most -- silver Autobot lounging in a temple doorway. You heard it right, lounging. Apparently no one told him about the giant bug monsters.]

New Cybertron. A bunch of different -- [AIR QUOTES, LITERAL AIR QUOTES] -- "realities" flying around. None of us asked to be here... aaaaand we get to play construction equipment to these 'bots I've never even heard of?

Right, you know what? I'll pass.

When's the next shuttle home? I don't feel like getting my paint dirty.

[He looks as if he's about to turn the Link off entirely, but pauses. Oh, right.]

I'm guessing it's too much to hope anyone I know showed up too? Regardless... this is Sideswipe, shoot me your location and all that.

Sideswipe: out.

[Mirage was out scouting, picking off said giant robot bugs in question when the transmission came through his Link. Probably yet another newcomer. No surprise there.

It seemed to be originating from the Vectorian temple, which piqued his interest, and tuned in to listen--]

[No. No, his eyes were playing tricks on him. It COULDN'T be...]

[But there was the audio. That idiotic, stupid sassy tone.

The fucking wheelfeet.]

SIDESWIPE! Dio mio...is it really you?!

[He's not dreaming, right? Those wings practically flutter in excitement, almost forgetting that he was just doing some serious bug squashing a moment ago.]

[video]

[place_in_the_sun]

I-I don't think we can go home, Sideswipe-san.

[At least that's what she's been told.]

[video]

[stabbywheelfeet]

...

Who are you and what's the matter with your face?

[Video]

[kingofthetvworld]

[Sideswipe out?]

...Outta what?

[Video]

[stabbywheelfeet]

Out of here with any lu--

...

What are you supposed to be?

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[...Wow. That was...definitely one of the more NEW reactions to showing up here.

Points for originality, Sideswipe.]

Darn, why didn't we think of the shuttle.

[Video]

[stabbywheelfeet]

Probably because you were all stagnating here without my shining wit to guide you.

[winged_knight]

You might want to make yourself comfortable friend, even if there was a space-worthy ship that could take us out of here, the Lambda prevents it.

[A smile that's half a smirk.] And construction participation is optional. But you reap greater benefits if you do.

[stabbywheelfeet]

The who what where now?

[He spreads his hands.]

Take a real good look. Do you see any bulldozer parts on this frame?

PERMAVIDEO;

[deadlydoctor]

Yeah, we are all chilling here with giant insects that spew acid because we enjoy the weather of the planet.

New flash, silverfox, we can not leave.

[stabbywheelfeet]

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Uh huh. Sure you can't.

[raceme]

[Have a small blue bot speaking really, really fast.]

Oh riiiiigh the SHUTTLE! I knew we were forgetting something.


Silly us.

[stabbywheelfeet]

...

Say what?

[Oh, no, he understood. But far be it from him to pass up an opportunity to be a jackass.]

[Video]

[shutupndrive]

The shuttle! Right! Let me just book--

Oh wait.

[Smokescreen shakes his head, arms crossed over his chest.]

Wish it were that simple, Sideswipe. But, ah, it's not.

[Video]

[stabbywheelfeet]

Maybe it is that simple, but you just haven't thought of it yet.

Not that I blame you. From the looks of your frame, you've got better ways to occupy your time.

HIIIIIIII HERE TO RUIN YOUR DAY

[noparachutes]

Sideswipe. Didn't you die with the rest of your friends yet.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF B(

[stabbywheelfeet]

You.

I'm not going anywhere until I settle the score.

[Video]

[deusrexmachina]

Wow, I didn't know robots could be programmed to be so vain and prissy.

[Video]

[stabbywheelfeet]

Wow, I didn't know monkeys could talk.

[angleofscience]

[Jetfire's just... eyeing Sideswipe. He recognises him alright, but given everything, probably the easiest to react as if he's never seen him before. Shaking his helm Jetfire gestures upward.]

While I'm not a shuttle I could get you off Cybertron and into space, but that wouldn't get you back to your reality. And since I have no way to calculate interdimensional travel to triangulate the dimensions we'd want or a way to compensate for the interdimensional time-space anomaly...

[His helm tilts, and the expression takes on a prticularly arch cast.]

We'd either end up deactivated, or not where we'd want to be. Presently, there's no way to get home for any of us.

[video]

[stabbywheelfeet]

...

Then you're just gloriously unhelpful, aren't you?

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

[Aren't you a piece of work. Also, he's just a little annoyed, he heard you laughing at his Wrecker buddy.]

When ya find the shuttle, let the rest of us know.

[Video]

[stabbywheelfeet]

Why? Not interested in helping yourselves out?

[video]

[rednotbluethx]

Aw, sounds like da princess is missin' her castle!

[video]

[stabbywheelfeet]

Aw, sounds like it's...

... a really irritating little thing I've never seen before.
