[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.]

[Perhaps a little flashier of an alternate mode than the Wheeljack Perceptor once knew, but remarkably similar, for all of that. Interesting. He steps away from where he'd been waiting in the lee of the temple.]

Greetings.
gunfondlingbattlestat: (heh)

[ACTION] I am a dumbass. Sorry

[Perceptor stifles a thin smirk, barely. Someone's been down this road before, apparently.]

Perceptor. Scientist with a sub-specialty in long range precision shooting. I spent some time as a Wrecker under Springer and Kup.

Not anymore, at least. Some illusions are just too expensive to maintain.

[...whoops. that might have come out a little more bitter than intended.]

[Nothing to worry about. Perceptor expected as much. He remains relatively relaxed under Wheeljack's scrutiny, though, rather than snapping to attention or anything like that.]

If I can see it. Set your targets.

[Perceptor shifts just enough to make sure that he's sighting the same object that Wheeljack is, before slinging his rifle off of his back and bringing it up in line.]

[The formation isn't near his maximum range - he doesn't even have to adjust his targeting reticle - nor is it moving. As soon as he takes the shot, he shifts his attention back to Wheeljack, waiting for the next target.]

[Sadly, Perceptor doesn't know that the tree is one of Elita's planted trees; he's probably about to make an enemy. or at least irritate Elita. He starts at the lowest branches and works his way to the top.]

[It probably looks... artistic, with all the little flying crystal shards?]

[Until then, Perceptor may end up having to keep his head down in certain circles.]

[Impressive? They're stationary targets. Hard to miss those. Perceptor quirks a brow ridge. Has Wheeljack ever met Springer? Perceptor has a sneaking suspicion that they would get along like gangbusters.]

[Ah, and now the truth comes out. Even as he's swinging his rifle up, targeting monocle whirring as he fixes on the arching grenade, Perceptor is filing "Elita's trees" away in his processor. He'll have a look at the tree later to see what sort of nutrients it needs to accelerate it's growth back to its normal configuration.]

[The grenade hitting the tree, or even the ground near it, isn't the only danger; the concussion wave from the mid-air detonation could be enough to topple the rest of the tree if Perceptor doesn't destroy it quickly enough.]

[But Wheeljack, while strong and crafty, can't fling the projectile faster than Perceptor can track it. And what he can see, he can hit.]

[After all, an arching grenade is nothing like a jinking Decepticon. Upside down. Hanging by his legs.]

[Wheeljack should be safe from Elita's wrath. Perceptor, however... has some work to do first, he thinks.]

Satisfactory?

[Well, his gun, and keeping Kup sane. Now and then, Perceptor's useful to have around.]

I also have some medical training, and a specialty in electrical engineering.

[Among others.]

[And, maybe, once they see some real action, Perceptor can show you some real skills.]

[action] sorry! got distracted!

Of course. I don't make a habit of wasting my time.
