I have been curious lately, about a few things. I pulled out my PDA - [And here, he pulls it out and wags it a little.] - to check a few things. The map is still useless, it is stuck on Pripyat back home and cannot find me. The journal works though, and so does the Geiger Counter.

And I know this because a lot of you Cybertronians are radioactive. Especially the two that are very pointy, the ah. Red and silver ones? I think I could maybe follow your trails if I tried.

[Strelok shrugs then, leaning back and smiling slightly.] I thought it was interesting, anyway. If any humans starts getting nauseous or dizzy you should see about getting some anti-rads, maybe. I am not sure how it would affect the non-humans, I am afraid.

It depends on the form the Energon is in. I was stuck on a planet full of unstable Energon deposits. The over exposure from the radiation started to overload our circuits if we were out of beast mode too long.

Trust me, it was never a pleasant experience.

That is was not pleasant does not surprise me. Too much radiation is a terrible thing for a human, too. The nausea and dizziness are just the start.

So that is the reason that some of you appear as animals and some do not?

Partially yeah. Our Alt-modes do more than make us look pretty, in most cases they serve some sort of purpose.

Like mine for example. A semi-organic beast mode protected me from over exposure when we were outside of our bases.

That sounds pretty handy. Like an exosuit that you can pull on at any time you like, but with a few more special features like being a car or a dragon.

[Yep, he's seen that giant robot dragon flying around.]

Though I think perhaps the animals have more advantages than most of the vehicles.

[At the mention of dragons, she just smirks a little. What can she say? Predacons are always impressive no matter what the reality.]

I'd agree, but some of the larger bots might disagree with that. So lets just go with there's a lot of advantages to an alt-mode no matter what it is.

[Strelok chuckles and waves one hand.]

Bah, everyone thinks their kind are best. It is like a rule of the world, yes? But even if you are smaller or not as fast, you have weapons in both forms. That can make a pretty big difference all on its own.

[Chuckle.]

You're okay for an organic. You seem like you understand and yeah, weapons in both forms makes one hell of a difference.

You are not so bad for a Cybertronian, either. And I know a thing or two about weapons and survival. I do not think we have met before; I am called Strelok.
