[It's been awhile since she's appearned on one of these things and trust her, Blackarachnia liked it that way. Letting other bots know she's still lurking around when they don't need to know hardly seems like something she should be doing, but unfortunately her link seems to think otherwise.

For the moment, a certain-she spider is in her beast mode searching through the junkpile. The camera angle shifts a little to reveal the cart she seems to be dragging along filled with odds and ends and... something else. It looks like a certain widow may have caught some of the local wildlife. Whatever it is, it's burned under junk with just a leg poking out. It's probably dead.

...Then it twitches.

Maybe whatever it is, isn't as dead as one would believe. But, who cares? Blackarachnia doesn't seem concerned in the slightest. In fact, she's going to continue digging through the junkpile for a few moments later before something catches her eye and her attention is turned towards the feed. All eight of her eyes narrow at it before she moves closer.]

.... So is everyone done getting their circuits crossed by some stupid menace enough for things to return to normal or should I just never leave my room again.

Of course, because it's different it's wrong. What exactly are you, anyway? I've never seen anyone with such a... interesting alt mode.

[oh, the irony]

I wasn't exactly given the warmest of greetings.

I never said that, just that the name apparently means little.

Tch. I'm a Predacon. We all have beast modes and so the sappy Maximals.

[She glares a little]

If you want a warm greeting, go talk to some other bot. I don't do warm or sappy.

Never heard of either of them. Beast modes sounds completely moronic, though.

[have a glare back]

Warm and sappy is for glitches who can't handle proper social interactions.

They're better and more practical than being some stupid truck. At least my beast mode can protect me from energon surges and keep me from overloading from energon build up.

[Trust her, neither are pretty and real issues on the world she was forced to live on before her.]

Tch. Warm and Sappy gets a knife in the back and potentially blown up.

Are both of those even real things? They sound like something you just made up.

[too bad he's too stubborn to see that. oh well!]

It leads to naivety. Naivety leads to ignorance.

They are very real when you're stuck on a planet with an over abundance of unstable energon deposits.

[Continue arguing with her about this and she will show you exactly what the pit she's talking about by introducing you to the type of energon she's used to.]

You're preaching to the choir buddy. Most of the bots I dealt with back home fit both of those categories. They weren't very bright and blowing them up was fun.

Iiif you say so.

[he will. you know he will]

Mm. I wouldn't... blow them up but naivety is certainly very annoying to have to deal with.

[COUGH OPTIMUS COUGH]

[She doesn't doubt it.]

Of you wouldn't. You're an Autobot and tolerate that kind of nonsense. We Predacons use them as canon fodder.

[Not that they ever stay in pieces, but whatever.]

It's all naive and ignorant bots are good for.

We don't tolerate it or at least the smart ones don't, anyway.

They learn better if the attitude is stamped out, instead of being murdered.

It's not murder when they can put themselves back together and trust me, some of the bots I'm thinking of are pretty hard to kill.

[Considering the sheer amount of times Waspinator has been blown to pieces, cubed, crushed, shot, dismantled, any all around scrapped. Not to mention some of the things she's endured, Blackarachnia's pretty sure a bot can survive quite a bit of damage.]

That's... still not a good reason to blow them up for no reason. Unless you wanted everyone to think you're a psychopath in which case good job!

[don't talk 2 him about how easy it can be for mechs to put themselves back together that doesn't mean he likes having his head removed. not that it's happened. multiple times. who's asking shut up]

Who said it was no good reason? They're usually doing the important job of drawing the enemies fire away from me.

[.. Or distracting Megatron with their idiocy so she can get away or come up with a quick plan.]

I wouldn't say I'm a psychopath. I'm one of the sane Predacons from my world. If you want a true psychopath, then I'd point you at that ground crawler Tarantulas if he were here.

[Just don't tempt her to try and take your head off because she'll do it.]

Edited 2013-12-22 06:32 (UTC)

...If they're dead then they can't continue to draw enemy fire, genius.

[face, meet palm. again]

I don't care, just don't blow anyone up here. Predacons or whatever might not have any laws for it, but we do.

[Blackarachnia just... gives him a strange look.]

...I've seen bots blown up by energon storms and survive. As far as I know, only two things can kill a bot. Extinguishing their spark or lava, which does that anyway. So shooting them isn't that big of a deal. Slag, I've seen Waspinator reduced to scrap metal and still manage to pull himself to an CR tank for repairs.

Besides, the only reason I would blow up a bot here is if they attacked me first.

[She's just not going to mention what happens when a bot pisses her off. Then she gets creative.]

Edited (reasons why I should never tag while half asleep....) 2013-12-22 10:26 (UTC)

Dead or not, they can't continue to be a target if they have no legs.

[goddamnit spider woman]

Yes they can. Do you know how dangerous a bot can be even without the use of their legs? Especially if said bot was oh, you know, a flyer? Take the wings off, take the arms off and then just dismantle them from there.

A bot doesn't stop being dangerous until they can't move period.

[Deal with it.]

I was thinking more in the way of them helping you. If they're lying on the ground and can't move then surely they can't serve as the alternative target?

Of course, I'm just assuming Predacons would stop shooting at something that's no longer moving.

[can't believe he's even discussing this holy shit what is his life]

[If you think this discussion is bad, just try living her life sometime. These are things she had to put up with on a daily basis back home.]

You'd be surprised how effective a dismantled bot can be as a distraction. Besides, I never said the other Predacons I've had to deal with were smart did I?

I can think of one in particular that would take joy in blowing a bot up, setting them on fire and then laughing as everything around them burned.

The fire bug had more than a few wires crossed.
