[VIDEO | Solus Prime's temple]

[cec_engineer]

I wish I could say being transported to another universe was the strangest thing that's happened to me.

[Despite his initial comment being fairly light hearted, Isaac is frowning.]

Assuming these robots haven't been loaded with the wrong data, I'm supposed to believe I'm on a planet called Cybertron? Can't say I've heard of it before.

[Sigh] At least I'm... safe now. I assume these robots have some sort of defense function - God knows I could use a break.

Anyway, the original broadcast of this video was to see whether I'm alone or not. Spending the rest of my natural life with these mechs isn't really my idea of retirement.

Comments

[deadlydoctor]

Why, thanks. I take pride on my alt mode even if it's not native from my planet. Actually, it's from yours.

Even if I were, that's important no more here. [Knock Out points to his glyph.] I'm one of Solus's, that's all that matter now. I will pay attention and let you know if any of those shows up here.

Oh boy, we are experts on that, just like any other race. The problem is that we live for millenniums. [A shrugs] Most are capable to have fun too, unless you they are named Prowl or Ultra Magnus.

[KO doesn't know, it's not rude P: See? Not so bad after all.]

[cec_engineer]

You mean... your version of Earth? I doubt it's from mine specifically; unless you transform into an ugly block of a truck.

That's true. I hope the other members of your race realise that. [Million year war? What million year war. I ain't heard of no million year war!] And, uh, thanks?

Autonomous being living for millenia? Wow, you guys keep gaining levels of complexity. Does it require a lot of upkeep or do your bodies have an aging process?

[He frowns slightly. Fun? What the shit would a robot find fun? He decides not to ask, figuring you'd be offended at his ideas of generic robot-y things]

[deadlydoctor]

yes, that's what I mean. No, I left that to the Autobot's leader. Althoguth, he's far form ugly, he got some nice rear lights and tires. There are no sport cars in your universe? Now that's a sad life.

Some do. [Yes, yes, you did boy.] I live to please. [Isn't it obvious?]

Rust sets in with time but it's all about proper maintenance and upgrades. I do not look my age.

Racing, for example! Go ahead, KO has been asked that before.]

[cec_engineer]

We don't, Earth has been mined to death and the only transportation is built for fuel utility instead of looks or unmanned - and there's no point making an unmanned car look pretty, is there?

I see. [He might want to investigate this rust and maintenance. You guys are so interesting!!!]

That seemed like an obvious one. Do you have social conventions and such?

[deadlydoctor]

Primus, that's awful. [Is he talking about the destruction of your world? About the lack of pretty cars? Most likely the last one.]

[Very interesting. And dangerous, but mostly interesting and dangerous]

Define social conventions.

[cec_engineer]

In a way, yeah. [IF U WANNA GET TECHNICAL they are both awful]

Stuff like birthdays or Christmas... hm, I guess you won't know what Christmas is. Uh, special events on the calendar?

[He feels like he's talking himself into a corner here]

[deadlydoctor]

Ugh. [That is true.]

Do I look like an uncultured idiot to you? Unless most bots here I do know what's Christmas. And Halloween. And all that.

[And he knows people dies a lot on Halloween, because movies told him that.]

[cec_engineer]

I... uhhh

[He blinks several times, clearly very surprised. You got him there, KO!]

That makes sense if you've been on Earth. I'm trying to keep ethnocentrism out of this conversation, given the circumstances.

[deadlydoctor]

[Hah! 8] Point for the robot.]

I've been in many planets, festivities aren't just and Earth's thing. But yes, that's good.

[cec_engineer]

Of course, I didn't really think that through.

What about celebrations native to Cybertron?

[deadlydoctor]

[Knock Out chuckles.] It's fine.

We didn't get to celebrate those anymore since the war started. We could celebrate them again here.
