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.

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.

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.

Right, buddy. Didn't ever think of that or try to find another way off this weird rock.

[The rookie's optics flicker.]

What does my frame have to do with anything?

I thought as much! Aren't you glad I'm here, to shine my gorgeous wit on you all?

You look more like a fast little number, instead of a big, bulky scientist type.

...Yeah. Totally glad.

[Or something.

At least you're good looking.]

Well, I am. Fast I mean. But I'm not an idiot, if that's what you're implying.

You should be.

[And he knows it.]

Did I say that? All I said was, you don't look bulky.

[Smokescreen rolls his eyes a bit, arms dropping so he can rest his hands on his hips now instead.]

Science-y, medical types can be sleek cars too.

[And he does the same. Hey, he figures they're both trying to show off their good points.]

Funny. I haven't seen a one.

Then you haven't been looking hard enough.

[He may or may not give the other a bit of a once over. Just because.]

Why? There someone you've got your optics on, stranger?

[Well then. He'll just rock on his wheels a little.]

[Even if you are a bit obnoxious...you're handsome. Very handsome.]

Hardly. But even I can appreciate a good looking 'con when I see one. I just have the urge to shoot him everytime I see him too. So it's kind of counterproductive.

Hold up.

Good looking Con? As in... Decepticon?

Yeah, I know. It's hard to believe.

The slagger's one of a kind, I'll give him that much. He's an aft though...and has a nice one for that matter.

[That last bit is said thoughtfully because hey! He can look!]

... Yeah, no. That's still not okay.

Eh, to each their own.

Precisely. I vastly prefer my own kind.

Didn't say I'd ever 'face him, just that I can appreciate a nice frame when i see one. It's hard not to appreciate his...but he's not my usual type.

There must be an appalling lack of decent frames where you're from, if you're even looking.

[The rookie's expression hardens a bit.]

...Not really. Just..not a lot of bots around.

There's not a lot of 'bots around back home either, but I'm still not looking.

Sometimes you need a distraction from the others things going on.

That's when I knock into the old timer and make him chase me around the base.

Most of my teammates aren't too fond of me, at least not back where I'm from. Here..most of them didn't even know who I was. So it's been interesting.

Why not?

Why not what?
