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.

How nice of you to come show us our mistakes, though.

Autobot, I take it?

[stabbywheelfeet]

I know. I'm thoughtful like that.

Damn right I am.

[deadlydoctor]

Very, touching. [Knock Out wipes an invisible tear from his optic.]

You sounds like the type.

[stabbywheelfeet]

I sound like the type?

[deadlydoctor]

Yes, like an Autobot.

I'm not really sure if you exist in my reality, though. Who's the war going where you are from?

[stabbywheelfeet]

If I did, you'd have heard of me by now.

... It's a war.

[deadlydoctor]

A modest one, aren't you.

Who's winning?

[stabbywheelfeet]

Modesty is my best quality.

No one.

[deadlydoctor]

It shows, really.

Then in that our worlds differ.

[stabbywheelfeet]

... Do I want to know?

[deadlydoctor]

Probably not.

[stabbywheelfeet]

... Charming.

[deadlydoctor]

It's a talent of mine.

[stabbywheelfeet]

Uh huh. Right.
