[Open][Shot like a Micheal Bay movie]
[While Skids might never admit openly that he likes showing off...he likes showing off. He likes the way gravity works, he likes the way you can calculate trajectories using different forces to turn unconventional weapons--such as, say, the dead body of a half-transformed comrade--into deadly flying time-bombs waiting to explode. He likes target practice, and he likes aerial maneuvers. He likes flower arranging, and he likes haberdashery. He likes skills he hasn't learned yet.]
...
[Right now, he likes ramps. While he is positive that this chunk of motor-vehicular-catastrophe fell through the lambda from some sadistic circus, he is not going to look a gift-cart under the axles. It is not his fault that a wicked half-pike with a 360 degree loop now exists on the edge of the junk pile, but it would be sinful not to at least try it once. He has even outfitted the end of the ramp with a pile of logs--though why he has done this will remain a mystery unless you see the video through to its end.]
Just in case this does not go as I expect it to, I have a few announcements to make.
First--I seem to be cured. Most of you know this, but I'm making it official. Pharma got rid of the problematic 'devouring the energon of the living' thing.
[Even if he still had the mandibles. Win some, lose some. He'd win more if he got to torment Prowl with them later.]
Second--since we've had a number of new folks...Hi. I'm Skids. Ex-Diplomat, Autobot, and in charge of the Zoning Commitee. I've seen a number of you talking about feeling marginalized, so I invite you to contact Black Arachnia and join one of our Special Committees.
Making a difference starts here.
[The application is attached.]
Third--Nexus is possibly the best Firstforged, and...
Fourth--I leave my possessions to the Road Crew, Dead End, Chromedome, and Perceptor. Here goes.
[At which point he transforms, and rolls sloooowly to the edge of the concrete jungle with the loop-de-loop at the end. For the rest--]
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[For the rest there is the sound of tires on pavement, an engine roaring, glass breaking, and...just after the sky turns into the ground and the ground turns into the sky, there is an explosion which comes from underneath the logs.
You can see them in the video, flying in the path of Skid's just-launched descent like a game of deadly frogger gone horribly awry. Logs. Everywhere. Falling.
Then, there is the sound of transformation. Just once.
The sea of logs parts, and is followed by a cloud of splinters...and what lands on the ground just beyond is either an attrocity--or the coolest thing ever.]
I did mention that Nexus was the best First-forged, didn't I?
[Meet Skid's second alt-mode--a wood shredder. Also, he may have broken more than one strut trying this, but he is not going to ruin the moment now.]

...how about you worry about wills later, okay?
no subject
[This is why math is awesome.]
I would, but I left a few people out this time and I'm starting to feel bad about it. I think I have too many friends.
[Really, it would be a burden if he didn't like them all so much.]
I'd like it if you were one.
no subject
[Insert transformy noises here. He'll be driving on over.]
Well, too many friends is better than none, right?
-huh? Friends, you mean?
no subject
It is. We fill the voids in our lives with what we can, right?
And if I've got friends, then...whatever else is missing isn't so bad.
How are you doing on friends?
no subject
Yeah, I guess we do.
...it doesn't fix everything, but...yeah, I guess it helps make it a little better.
It's hard to tell sometimes. It seems harder to keep them, around here...
no subject
...
You know, that is true but also depressing. You and I have been here for a while, though.
no subject
...sorry, didn't mean to bring the mood down like that. I... Huh. I guess it's been a good while now.
-think I'm coming up on your location soon. I can see that track now.
no subject
[It was once, and it was because Prowl was in the hospital...which Skids was pretty sure that one of them was celebrating and one of them was not.]
I think I can find it in my spark to forgive you.
It's a pretty nice looking track, though, isn't it? I wonder if we could add to it...make a whole course?
no subject
[The sound of his approach is finally audible, and soon enough his bright paint job is visible as he rounds a bend of scrap.]
Probably more impressive up close! An entire course would just make it a whole lot better.
no subject
I can see you now...wow. You're always brighter in person.
[He switches off the video, since you're close.]
My hero. [He offers a small, wry smirk. You really do remind him of Rodimus in some ways, but that is to be expected.]
no subject
While he refrains from commenting about the remark regarding his color scheme, he does smile somewhat lopsidedly at the latter.]
Yeah, whatever. Come on, let's get you out of there.
no subject
[And a brilliant escapade in which Skids is taken to see a medic can occur~]
