[TEXT] [TRANSMISSION ORIGINATING FROM: VECTORIAN SECTOR]

[wakizashi_straight]

Some of you might have noticed a new bot on the network recently. One with gold plating and a red mohawk.

His name is Midas and he is from my world. I would request that you do not pay heed to his threats or challenges; I have my doubts that he understands what he might be getting into.

[Since you're all huge illegal combatants.]

As well I was wondering if any of you might be willing to assist in making something with what I have picked up from the store that dropped onto the Junk Pile.

[He doesn't know how to make this Duracrete not powdered. Because the powder wouldn't make a very good Punching Block.]

[There's a huge gasp from the other end of the communicator.]

I KNEW IT!

Sunshine is from your world, huh? So that means he's your friend!!

[Abuhwha?]

Who is 'Sunshine'?

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

Duh! The gold bot with the moehawk!

Doesn't he look like a ray of sunshine?

[Text]

[wakizashi_straight]

His name is Midas.

You may think he looks like sunshine, but he is not. He is an Underworld bot and a cheater.

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

He cheats?!

I'll have to have a talk with him then. No one cheats on Kay's watch!

[mccrane]

I take it he's still getting used to this strange version of freedom.

[Your friend, he means.]

What can I help you with?

[Because oh, does he know building materials.]

[wakizashi_straight]

He is also not used to being around bots that could win a fight by stepping on him.

[Noisy Boy knows better, but Midas is... different.]

Constructing a punching block. Are you familiar with them?

[Because he will be happy to explain it if not.]

[Video, right. On this end.]

[mccrane]

He wants to fight them?

[Well. That took bravery and stupidity, both. He'll not say as much, however.]

They're used as a fitness exercise, correct?

[Text here, unless indicated otherwise.]

[wakizashi_straight]

I do not think he realizes that here, he would lose. Painfully.

[It's the stupidity that most concerns Noisy Boy. A little caution can go a long way.]

And for training, yes. I was hoping to construct one for personal use.

[Then I think we're good~]

[mccrane]

Have you tried telling him?

[He hasn't actually seen Midas, yet, which he feels a bit bad about. He should have been more up-to-date, but the operation has put him behind.]

That should be a simple enough project. [And a good one. Everybody needed a hobby.] What materials do you have?

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Unrepentantly huge and illegal.]

Yeah, that's a pretty good assessment. [That whole 'getting into' thing.]

That's what he gets for running his, uh, non-mouth.

[text]

[wakizashi_straight]

[Gaw, why can't you all stop being huge and illegal.]

I am a relatively intelligent bot. [And too old for this.]

He can hardly back it up and I would prefer he not be harmed. I know even less of his construction than I do of my own, so I would not know where to ask Ratchet to start with repairs.

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[Whirl would be huger and illegaler if he knew it would bother you more.]

[You're welcome.]

Yeah, well, he isn't. Maybe I could punch some smarts into him. Win win.

[wakizashi_straight]

[It's not Noisy Boy's fault he's extremely comfortable with rules and regulations.

It is his own fault he objects to rule-breakers so strongly, though.]

Punching bots does not make them more intelligent. [Much as he'd kind of like to see how Midas likes those Decappuccinos he dishes out...]

[video]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

[You and Ultra Magnus, mech. Probably recite regs at each other as foreplay.]

[Urgh that's a terrible thought. Even for Whirl's standards.]

You sure? Could be worth a shot.

[Chinscratch. Speaking of shot.] How 'bout shooting?

[raceme]

I met him yes HE IS NOT A very sociable individual isn't him? Midas?

Icanhelpyouwithanything.

[text]

[wakizashi_straight]

He is sociable in an extremely aggressive way, that is all. Correct, his name is Midas. They call him The Gold-Blooded Killer.

McCrane has offered to assist me.

permavideo

[raceme]

But he is...as tall as you CORRECT? That's quite the tacky name.

Oh okay. [Aw he wanted to help.]

permatext

[wakizashi_straight]

With his mohawk he is eight feet, nine inches tall. Three inches taller than WRB height regulations. But we are roughly the same size, correct.

It is simply what he is called due to his coloration; I am known as The Manga Mangler to some, due to my country of origin and my kanji.

It is a simple project, really. [Hrm...] Though we could potentially use your help on the finishing touches, once the block has solidified.

permatext

[raceme]

Then he's still half my size give or take and you know I'm not the tallest mech out there IT woudl be good for him to be careful around the others some have very little patience.

The _humans named all of you then?

If you ever need me then just let me know.

[goldblooded]

Are you calling me stupid?

[text]

[wakizashi_straight]

If I was calling you stupid I would have done so.

[text]

[goldblooded]

Sounded like you were. I can take care of myself, Noisy Boy.

[text]

[wakizashi_straight]

You have seen how large these other bots are, surely. Do you truly believe you can fight them without your handler and win, Midas?

[text]

[goldblooded]

They'd be lucky to survive.
