[FAILED!Lock to Bulkhead.]

[raceme]

[Have a very confused, very nervous and awkward looking Blurr.]

Bulkhead, I got this from you and uhm...I am flattered but I don't think...we should really...eh..with our baggage and Wheeljack...not to mention I already have a boyfriend even if he's not here, soIdontreallythinkthisisagoodidea.

[BECAUSE... uhm. because... <0<]

Happened to me too, though I did go back to the mirrorverse I'd been in before I ended up in Axiom before I turned up here, so might depend on the anomaly, what the slag ever.

[He grunted and shook his helm, a lopsided grin quirking his mouth.]

Jet. Earth jet. F-15, actually, 'cause they were pickin' up signals from Earth and managed to get more up-to-date vehicle specs than the tv programs they were pickin' up.

Don't ask me why he changed long before we actually went to Earth though, ain't got a clue.

[raceme]

[/FINGER POINTS/ AHA!]

Perhaps the Lamba has more interested in some mechs more than others. Maybe it likes you Cliff. [Blurr smirks. The Lambda liking someone might not be all that much of a good thing.]

He's a jet. A neon green, bright pink, pale blue jet? [For real?????]

[cliffjumper]

[BLAST IT, NO! >8|]

I fraggin' well hope not. Doesn't sound like a good thing. [With a snort, Cliffjumper rolled his optics.] Though, I'm pretty sure the Axiom thing ain't got nothing to do with the Lambda here - if all the stellar spa--- uh, space bridge issues in Axiom was due to Unicron, we'd probably have found that out.

[He shrugs and then grins.]

Yep. I assume before that he had the same altmode that Starscream's still got. He never changed 'cause the Nemesis' pods were all used up and the scanning compiter broke in the crash.

[raceme]

[TOO LATE Ke ke ke ke]

I don't think it is, no. Funny how history does repeats itself. And by funny I mean 'ironic'.

[Blurr's trying really hard not to laugh at the mental image of a jet with such colors.] he can't scan a new one on his own? How odd. Why he never asked anybody to repaint him?

[cliffjumper]

[Blast it. 8|]

Yeah, kinda.

'Cause those are his colours? And he probably likes 'em or at least is fine with 'em, so why go through the hassle of continually adding paint? [Cliffjumper shrugs, leaning back in his seat.] Same for me, I ain't red 'cause I painted myself like this, Blurr.

And no, seems like that's a thing my original reality share with Starscream's - gotta use equpiment to scan an altmode and upload it to our processors to then change.

[raceme]

[]

But none of them seem to match and people would be able to tell he's not a real jet if he's on earth. [Blurr's brain just..does not compute.] How odd, I did not know that. Did you get to chose you alt mode or...?

[cliffjumper]

[He just laughs at that.]

And Earth jets are white and red and blue, or black and purple or whatever the slag else otherwise? Nah. [A helmshake.] Don't ask why we never went that far, but I suppose it's more like "at first glance" it'll work as a disguise.

Go closer and you'll see something's really slaggin' strange. Most Earth militaries have their jets in single, often gray colour.

[As if all Seekers would try to repaint themselves like that.]

Those of us who're cars or stuff like that got an easier time blendin' in, which you've probably noticed.

[He tilts his helm then and taps his chestplate.] What, this one? Yeah, more than the one I had on Earth previously, since the ship gave us those altmodes while we were still in stasis lock.

This one I picked out by havin' the computer combine bits from various cars and then downloading the schematics to me. Not a real model, but it'll blend in well enough anyway 'cause it's still all Earth car bits.

[raceme]

Gray color? We would look dead if we colored ourselves like that. [The first time Blurr saw Sideswipe he had to double take for that reason.]

Yes, I noticed. [ Blurr blended in so well that master Disaster thought he was just a really cool and fast racing car. Ugh.]

Combining vehicles, that's really Cliff.

[cliffjumper]

Yeah, exactly. See why no one's particularly eager to go that far for a disguise?

[He chuckles and shrugs.]

Yeah, gave me and Bee a chance to get somethin' that'd still blend reasonably well, while not lockin' us into an exact model. [With a grin, Cliffjumper rubbed his chin.]

Probably helped better than an exact model too, since they make new ones and they differ by country - mixing 'em up make it still look familiar but no one can exactly place it, ya know?

[raceme]

Yes, I can understand it.

You and him have a similar frame? In my universe Cliffjumper and Bee lo nothing alike. Bee looks similar to Wasp, though.

That makes sense. I wish I traveled around Earth more but I had to investigate in Detroit.

[cliffjumper]

We do, yeah. [Cliffjumper shrugs, gesturing down at himself.] Enough so that we can share the exact same altmode if we want, though we allocate resources slightly differently. He ain't as fast as I am.

We didn't share an altmode durin' the first stay on Earth, but when we went back, since we could be versatile enough with it, we did, since that'd make us blend in better if there's at least two cars around that look the same.

Earth's kinda cool, yeah. Lots of different things to see.

[raceme]

You are faster than Bee? Really? [Please forgive his surprise. Bee is probably the second fastest bot in his universe after him.]


I know but I didn't really had time to see it. [You know with the whole being controlled by a human against his will and all that.] Maybe one day I'll have the opportunity to see it again.

[cliffjumper]

Yeah, I am. Not like that in your reality? [He chuckles a bit and shrugs.] I might not be as fast as you are in root mode, but I'm pretty slaggin' fast otherwise in altmode.

[He smiles, a little lopsidedly then and he'd lay a hand on Blurr's shoulder if they were actually next to each other.]

... Hopefully you will. Ya never know, right? Though probably wouldn't wanna do it here, if this is millions of years in the past. Probably look interestin' still, but it wouldn't be like present-day Earth.

[raceme]

I don't think Cliffjumper and Bumblebee ever met but I know them both and Bee is faster. You and me should race more often, you know.

[Blurr smiles back. That's so sweet, Cliffjumper.]

Ha ha no, I'm sure Earth won't look as nice right now, it if exist at all.

[cliffjumper]

Well, as long as ya don't use your speed, sure. I like racin'.

[Cliffjumper grinned and then shook his helm.]

Eh, exists it probably does, unless we're more than... uh... five billion years in the past, I think? Somethin' like that, anyway. After that it exists, but ain't gonna look at all like what we're used to.

[raceme]

Imakenopromises. [But he will be a good friend and drive normally.] We really should do it more often. Racing is one of the best things in life. Sora suggested a race to see who really is the fastest mech in this planet.

[Blurr shrugs.] I’m not really sure how far we are in time.

[cliffjumper]

[Cliffjumper narrows his optics and shakes his fist at Blurr jokingly at that, but he was pretty sure Blurr would play nice.]

Yeah, I'd like that. [Then he snickers.] Both of those things, even if it's a given if ya use your speed. And yeah, me either. If it actually becomes necessary, if the Firstforged comes back we could probably ask 'em 'bout it.

[raceme]

[The gesture makes him laugh out loud. He will play fair, yes.]

It can be fun and primus know we need more happy times.

I'll also try to ask my acolyte, maye he knows.

[cliffjumper]

Pretty much, yeah.

... Though I doubt the acolyte knows. They ain't very... uh. Smart.

[raceme]

We should go exploring again too. Hopefully nothing will try to kill us this time.

True...[LE SIGH] It could worth a try.

[cliffjumper]

[Laughing, Cliffjumper nods.]

Yeah, sure, why not. Besides all the death traps, it was fun.

... You wanna go racin' now, or are ya busy?

[No time like the present, right?]

[raceme]

Oh yes, if you don't count those it was a blast.

I'm always free for a race. Meet me outside Vector's temple.

[yes.]

[cliffjumper]

They sort of put a damper on things, yeah.

[With a snigger, Cliffjumper gives Blurr a salute.]

Will do. Won't take me long.

[And he'll just disconnect and start moving.]
