re_alignment | [Video] Wreckers Assemble [Part Locked to Bulkhead]

[The feed opens up, showing what looks to be a rough-draft edition of the Jackhammer. Or at least the top of it, anyway. An odd place to have a video post... although it's probably obvious who this is from, now. A little ways away is Wheeljack, propped up on one of the metal sheets of the ship, inspecting his swords. He seems almost...completely engrossed in them, to the point of where this might be an accidental video.

Oh wait, he flicks his eyes towards it once, then back down. This broadcast seems entirely on purpose. It takes a few minutes for him to respond, biting his lip before making an attempt to speak.]

So. With the Police Force up and runnin' the way it should be, forming it's own little clubhouse, I think it's time to make another proposition for ya guys. Ones who may or may not exactly like following rules.

I'm looking for bots, or even some of you organic types to form a team of Wreckers. We had a group here, but all...or most of em are gone. Don't know what a Wrecker is? Here's the rundown for ya: Black Ops. Guys who take missions that no sane commander will take. The ones who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. We work outside the chain of command, meanin' you're under MY command, not the Police Force or Law Committee.

[He rolls his eyes. This part got him in trouble last time, so he'll post a disclaimer.]

For all you angels of the law, I'm not goin' on manhunts for no reason. So calm your tailpipes before you even start with me.

[And he's back to inspecting his sword, perking an eyebrow.]

I hate paperwork, so just convince me if you think you're good enough. In a spar. I ain't jokin' around this time.

[Locked to Bulkhead]

Hey, I know you're part of Team Prime and all...

So I don't blame ya if you sit this out. Family first, right?

[That still felt odd to say.]

The Police Force is not afraid to get their hands dirty either, you know. [But that's all Blurr's going to say about that part of the post. They already had an argument once and he can imagine that Wheelack might be used that most of the first Wreckers are now gone.]

How's the recruitment going?

Oh, and you are still not allowed to die. That's an order. [He knows how much you like those, so he's trying to light up the situation.]

I...wouldn't go around proclaimin' that Blurr. Gettin' your hands dirty means using less-than-civil ways of dealin' with things.

Got some bites. Pretty impressed with the lineup, if I say so myself.

[And cue eyebrow raise.]

'm afraid I don't take orders from you, Blurrk. But I'll consider it.

[A small smirk?]

I meant that we are not scared of hard work or fights, Wheeljack. That's all.

That's good. Who wouldn't want you as their boss, after all.

Hmmmm, shame on you. I wasn't expecting any less, though.

[Die and he will bitch at you nonstop once you are revived. And with Blurr 'nonstop' really means 'nonstop'.

Smiles are good.]

Just...make sure you know that. People'll get the wrong idea on the PF, and as much as I don't like rules, that's not what I want.

...A lot of people.

[Well, he might as well be honest.]

I will and I will _{make sure people}don't get mistaken, don't worry.

That happened in your world too?

[Blurr appreciates honesty, even if this not something he likes to hear.]

Good. Just makin' sure people know what they're dealin' with. A bot of the law.

[He gives a slight chuckle.]

'Insubordinate Ruffian' was used to describe me. Command just wasn't in the question.

I wouldn't have it any other way. [Blurr smiles proudly at that. He rather fight another Police officer or his superior than see the Police Force turned into a corrupted organism. They had enough of that in the past.]

Ah ruffian. How scandalous. Did someone try to arrest you?

Nah.

[He scratches his head a moment.]

Except for that one time with Magnus bein' drunk. Wasn't my fault though.

I just got a bad habit of not-followin-orders back home.

Were you drunk too as well when that happened? I remember seeing you handcuffed, I think a bomb exploded on your face too. [Must have been monday.]

It's a wrecker thing, isn't it? Have you heard? Apparently one of my alternates has nothing to do with the law either. And people told me that he used to have quite the ego.

Nope. Completely sober. I think humans call it 'wrong place at the wrong time'.

Really now. Talk about opposites. I would know.

Seems like it, yes.

Oh it gets better. I think he's a wrecker too. What does your opposite do?

...A scientist.

With no mouth.

And glowing ears.

That's how the Wheeljack in my world looks like. It's not so bad. You don't have a beard at least. [Yes wheeljack, imaigne yourself wiht a

I never understood the glowing ears, though. Maybe those are to see better when you do scientist related stuff?

...What's a beard.

[New terminology, Blurr. TEACH AWAY.]

...I guess so. I met my other self once. I don't think he was from your world though. He was...chipper.

It's a piece of metal over his faceplate, similar_{to Trion's but not} so long, and it covers his chin too. I could show you pictures.

[Teacher ahoi. Pictures always help, right?]

I saw him too and^No he wasn't. Mine's a bit more stoic.

It's a faceplate over a faceplate.

Not sure I understand that.

[Seriously, why do none of these Wheeljacks make any sense?]

Edited 2013-04-12 02:28 (UTC)

Certain bots think those make them look distinguished. Perhaps they want extra protection. Personally, _{I never understood why some}of our people cover their mounts instead of, let's say, their optics.

[Blurr forgot that you do that, Wheeljack, sorry.]

Seems pretty pointless to me. Specially if your forte ain't fighting.

..

[A hand reaches up, tapping the side of his mouth.]

Right here is the reason, Blurr. First fight I was ever in, got this. Slashed me up pretty good too. Never really healed, even after the docs tried to patch it up.

I guess they do the same for eyewear.

[Blur just shrugs at that.

it takes him a moment to remember that yes, Wheeljack uses a battle mask.] ...Ah. Oh. sorry, Wheeljack. I forgot.

[Wheeljack just shrugs.]

'm not really offended. Just sayin'. I'd have a perfect face if I just wore one from the start.

Then again, I'm far from perfect, and I like it that way.

I don't think you face looks so bad. Bulks seems to like it well enough.

Scars give character. [The only scars Blurr has are all in the inside, and those doesn't really give you character, just nightmares.]

Guess I can't knock you there. Still, Faceguard'll help in the long run.

Told ya.

I think if anybody can keep up to me and get close enough to hit me in the face then I provably deserve to get punched.

You'll be sayin' that up until you get punched.

Then you'll work to beat the guy who was able to speed you, right?

Probably, yes. But that's not going to happen, so...~

You can bet on that. [If he's still conscious after the punch, that's it.]
