 [Power Joe doesn't have a fancy introduction to his video post. Really, it's just him lying on the Cybertronian landscape outside of the Solian Temple. The lazy bum.]

Oi, what do you guys do for fun around here?

[Seriously, he's bored.]

Comments

[mccrane]

You could always go play soccer with Drill Boy.

[McCrane can't comprehend the word 'fun' right now.]

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

Badmouth others to their teammates.

[She heard you're into that.]

[thxforthememories]

... Stay alive.

[SORRY PJ. He's really not much help.]

[Video]

[kungfugeek]

Sorry. I guess toys are known to do that.

You know, since we're so mindless and all.

[kungfugeek]

I meant something actually fun.

[Soccer is lame.]

Besides, you look like you could use it too. C'mon, McCrane.

audio;

[kungfugeek]

...Why are you even responding? You're the king of no-fun.

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

Look, you can be upset as much as you want, but I will not let you turn my team against me. That is my family. If you got a problem, say it to my face.

[mccrane]

There were these...baths...at Prima's...

[He quickly trails off. That, too, reminds him of Gunmax.]

Nevermind. You are acceptably clean.

What's wrong with playing soccer?

[Nope. He doesn't remember fun at all.]

audio;

[thxforthememories]

You're providing a distraction.

I'd rather be distracted than think right now.

[Video]

[kungfugeek]

Turn them against you? What, we in some kind of a war?

[He shakes his head.]

I've got family too, you know. All who you insulted by sayin' that. That in-your-face enough for you?

[kungfugeek]

...You're worse than I thought.

That's it. We're doing something fun.

audio;

[kungfugeek]

Well if you want a distraction, actually think of something fun.

You seriously don't have any ideas?

[mccrane]

We could build something? A home for the Law Committee is needed.

[It's hopeless.]

[kungfugeek]

ACTUALLY FUN.

That's it. I'm driving over and getting you.

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

War? You wouldn't know war if it bit you in the aft. Now listen to me very carefully, you can try to turn this around however you want, but what it will keep boiling down to is you talking scrap behind my back with my team.

[Video]

[kungfugeek]

I know enough about it to know we're not at it right now.

And guess what. Yelling at me? Not going to help with the whole 'convincing me to stop'. May work with whatever you fight against, but it's not working with me.

If he brought it up to you, means he has a problem with what you said.

audio;

[thxforthememories]

Do I really need to explain to you why I don't know how to ... 'have fun' on my own?

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

I didn't yell. Once.

Or is your AI chip making you hear me at different volumes?

[mccrane]

But I have a meeting with Blurr and Prowl!

We're going to go over the minutes of our previous discussion...

[Its so important. So, so important.]

...

[It's not important at all.]

[Video]

[kungfugeek]

Super A.I.

Didn't see you denying any of that, though.

[kungfugeek]

It can wait.

This is first priority.

[He holds up one finger for emphasis.]

audio;

[kungfugeek]

Okay guess I have to be the one to teach you.

Rule #1: Soccer isn't fun. Don't let Drill Boy tell you different.

audio;

[thxforthememories]

I don't know what soccer is.

[Video]

[robotfightclub]

You know, I'd apologize if you didn't act like some kinda kid. ...Actually, no, I know kids who act better than you do. The drinking? The dance? I was actually kind of okay with you back then.

Then you pulled this little stunt.

[Video]

[kungfugeek]

Bah...

[A hand scrubs over his face. What would McCrane do in this situation?

Something about being calm. Be rational.]

You think less of me, so why should I treat you with any respect?

[THINK. LIKE. MCCRANE.]

Look, I'm sorry. When I see the kid again I'll sort it out. Say I was angry or something.

[He grits his teeth through that. You have no idea how hard that was.]
