So, I. I don't know how many people knew him, but I figured I might as well say something.

Shockwave - the big one - and his Driller have been missing. Sometimes they'd just go off on their own but usually not for this long. And I've looked everywhere. So I'm gonna call it.

They're. Gone.

[He pauses for a long moment before speaking again.]

I'll still be at Megatronus's temple to look after their things, until Megatronus makes me leave.

Handlin' things? What, Shockwave had some kinda secret club? Can't say I'm surprised by that either.

...

Probably not. Still, another familiar face gone. 's much as I wanted to deck it.

No, my whole... training thing. He was teaching me to fight, that's. Why he moved me into his quarters in the first place.

Heh. His face was a bit high up to deck, unless you had a ladder you never mentioned. But. Thanks. Say, do you know if. If that memorial Wing and Drift were working on ever got finished?

...Really?

[That gets Wheeljack thinking. They've both lost some guys recently.]

...How about ya train with me? Think you can handle a Wrecker's standards?

[But that question catches him off guard.]

Memorial?

Yeah. Really.

[Wait, did you just...?]

You. You mean it? I-I mean I don't know how I hold up to Wrecker standards but... sure!

[Zomg made his day a little better there, Wheeljack.]

Yeah. For all the people that have vanished into Badlands or are otherwise just... gone. They were trying to get something together, I remember.

Yeah, I mean it.

[Maybe it was to keep what he had here close, not that he'd ever admit that. But he'd had some ugly times the past few days. Keeping his mind preoccupied...? Seemed like a good idea.]

...

Guess I got some things to do.

[For someone who left.]

You won't regret it, I swear. Shockwave did a lot of the heavy lifting already, at least.

[And Fracas owes him to continue. Memorials aren't something that he's good at, but. Doing things that they'd do with him. That he can handle. And it takes his mind off of other things.]

I'd like to help. If I can.

We'll see. I'm hard to please, yannow.

[There's a hint of a smirk, even if it does die rather fast.

Memorials...he hadn't even thought--]

Sorry bud, this one I gotta do myself. But...after that, you can help with the rest.

And I am a very hard worker. Who knows, I might even surprise you.

[The laugh is quiet, short, and gone too soon.]

I understand. [He may not be sure who it's actually for, but he understands that sometimes these things need to be done alone. At least parts do.] The memorial is for everyone, but... the individuals are for each of us. Alone.

Then we'll spar sometime. Kinda wonderin' what happens when ya actually train a Vehicon trooper. Maybe Megatron's just losin' his touch in the fun-...fund...basics of havin' soldiers.

[Just this one, Fracas, then you're free for helping him.]

Yeah...Won't stop ya from makin' one for 'Wave. Figured it's more for you anyway.

They've never really been good at training us. Just that there used to be Autobots as bad at fighting as we were.
And there being zillions of us didn't hurt either.

[Strength in numbers and all that.]

It will be. Guess I'm the only one left that liked him. But thanks for... at least trying to tolerate him. It was nice of you.

[True, but that can't be too much of a walk in the park either, can it Fracas. How many clones are there of you?]

Pfft. Wouldn't give me that much credit.

But I'll continue what he had. Yannow...cause...

You.

[Words? Words. What he meant to say was "because we're friends".]

[That all depends on how you mean 'clones', really. Though he can say that it was... interesting.]

'Cause me, huh?

I think he'd appreciate it. I definitely do.

[He will find a way to repay you besides 'not dying'.]

Yeah. 'Cause you.

[If anything, he confirms it because he doesn't want to elaborate. That's for sissies.]

...

Then what are you hesitatin' for?

I'm just surprised, is all. I guess I never really expected Wreckers to offer to train a Vehicon. Even if you're...

You.

[Let's just continue that trend of not saying the 'f' word.]

Yeah, guess I never really expected a mook to be smarter than half the fraggin' Con squad. We're both full'a surprises.

[There's a slight smirk at that, not that Fracas can see.]

Just don't let me down.

Maybe it's just that the guys at the bottom of the heap see things the most clearly.

[He flicks his wings, the scrape of metal audible, and smiles a little himself.]

I'll do my best. Mook's honor.
