[Guess who's looking better?

If you guessed one Titanium robot, you guessed right. But he's been feeling rather antsy, and hunting the Junkpile as often as he could but still coming up dry. Time to put a call out.]

So... anyone in this place know where there's a guitar? Acoustic'd be preferable, but in this situation I can't really be picky can I? If it's broken, or if you only found parts of one that's okay too... it's more than I've got, and it's not like I can't fix it myself if I needed to.

Any point in the right direction's appreciated.

Yes and no. He didn't take being controlled well, never did. Megatron actually punched Unicron once. For the record, Unicron is not only the god of destruction but around 30 times his size.

Should I bother asking about that dimension or....?

[eyestothesky]

Well gotta give him points for ball bearings then.

Well let's just say that your Unicron fellow wouldn't be the nastiest kid on the block there by far, and it's a real good thing Jumbo's got the gate chained niiice and tight. It's not called the 8th Dimension of Absolute and Infinite Terror for nothing.

[deadlydoctor]

He really feared nothing. He was also really bad at thinking things through.

I don't think I would like to see it. Let's hope none of those things ends here.

[eyestothesky]

That's always a dangerous combo.

Well luckily the only thing that came through in the Manor was Marshmallow. Probably because he was regular kitten size so I guess he slipped through the bars of the gate or something. But he's not so bad. Had a bad habit of trying to eat door to door salesmen, but Six got him trained out of that at least.

[deadlydoctor]

Yes. we are really lucky he's not here. [As Knock Out has no wish to see him again, even if Megatron had a change of spark. He didn't believe that.]

You got a homicidal cat pet and called it Marshmallow...never change, The spine.

[eyestothesky]

It's been over a hundred years and it hasn't happened so far, so I don't intend to do much changin'.

[deadlydoctor]

You can live for that long too?

[eyestothesky]

Well we're the first of the Grandmaster's bots. He guessed so long as we kept up with maintenance we could live as long as we wanted to.

[deadlydoctor]

Sounds like us. Maybe we aren't so different after all.

I like to get upgrades from time to time, though.

[eyestothesky]

Had more than my share of upgrades. I mean beyond the basic 'gotta replace this or bad things are going to happen' sort, those are just common sense.

[deadlydoctor]

Ow, anything interesting? Enhanced straighten? Weapons? New alloys in the joints?

[eyestothesky]

Well, got my spine upgraded when titanium alloys became a thing, along with some general plating upgrades. [Some adjustments to his ribs so he could move around without his chassis more easily, but he's not mentioning that. Or the 'moving around without his chassis' bit because that's just weird.

And The Spine is the normal robot of the family okay.]

Some networking upgrades, but that's not much to write home about.

[deadlydoctor]

Oh nifty. Titanium is not as strong as the organic metals my kid is made but it's a good alloy nonetheless. [The Spine doesn't want to say that to a someone who helped to created a vampire-zombie mech because 'it's weird'. No worries, Knock Out wouldn't be all that freaked out.

Uh huh.]

Good enough, good enough.

[eyestothesky]

I imagine a race of robotic organisms'd have the corner on strong alloys as a rule.

[Hey, he doesn't tell anyone okay. He can't be the normal bot if he's just as weird as the rest of his siblings right?]

[deadlydoctor]

Pretty much. That's one of the reason how we get to live millions of years.

[Good point, good point.]
