[Video] [TRANSMISSION ORIGINATING FROM: JUNKPILE]

[The feed opens to a cheerful looking Swindle relaxing on a chunk of metal, apparently totally at ease with being transported to another dimension and losing almost everything he owns. Oh yes, it's unfortunate that he's lost all of it, but there's no point in dwelling on it right? Time to move on to new things and adapt to the situation.]

Greetings Autobots, Decepticons alike! The name's Swindle, and I'm here to make you an offer! I am aware that many of you may have lost a weapon or two upon arriving in this marvellous world, and I'm perfectly willing to offer you a replacement weapon... for a price of course. I can also do weapon repairs for anyone who needs them, so I hope I can prove to you my devotion to good customer service in the future.

But this is not just a business call! Since we're all in this together, why don't you tell me a little about yourselves? I love meeting new people, and how often can I say I've met others from a completely different dimension? This goes for you organic types too!

[Besides, it's more beneficial to him to be friendly with everyone than enemies. Now if he had a Megatron to hide behind, things would be totally different.]

Hardly. But these are difficult times and someone could get hurt. On behalf of those of medical persuasion, it would be beneficial to have spare parts. Worst case scenarios, you understand. And one can never be too careful.

I might also be interested in gasoline if you had any.

I never would have realized that gasoline would be in such high demand... but when I find some, I'll let you know. As for the spare parts... I'm afraid I don't carry any around with me. Anything you're looking for in particular?

[my_own_trope]

Just the usual. Engine parts, capacitors, spare Tcogs.

[youhavebeenswindled]

No, but I can look if you want.

[The last one catches his attention. It's not like Tcogs pop out of the ground you know. Just in case, he double checks the locks on this conversation before continuing.]

An intact Tcog is going to... cost you extra, if you understand my meaning.

[Taboo? Just another word that has no meaning to Swindle.]

[my_own_trope]

So long as it is intact and functional, I am prepared to pay.

Let me know if you require any aid in securing that last item. I want only the best for my clients.
