So I'm guessin' everybody got themselves back to normal? Nobody runnin' around gluing people to walls no more?

[Because he's fresh out of wall scrapers. Or something.]

Good news is, I got my altmode back.

[He pauses.]

Uh. Bad news is... kinda found out I wasn't affected no more... the hard way.

[Good job, Ironhide, what did you do.]

[arnhaid]

Do I gotta go through this again? You are kids, far as I'm concerned.

Uh.

Got stuck.

audio

[badboybikerbot]

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

[YOU CAN ALMOST HEAR THE EYEROLL]

Stuck? Good job. Where are you?

audio

[arnhaid]

...




Down a canyon.

audio

[badboybikerbot]

How did you manage that? Are you hurt?

audio

[arnhaid]

I been out makin' sure there's no more of those energon chunks around. Thought I saw one down in Vector's canyon.

Ledge didn't really agree with me much.

audio

[badboybikerbot]

So is that "yes, I'm hurt" or "no, I'm not hurt"?

audio

[arnhaid]

That's a "I shoved the arm back into the socket so it ain't too bad".

audio

[badboybikerbot]

So that translates into "yes I'm hurt but I'm a great big red badass so I'm going to pretend it doesn't bother me".

Anyone on their way to get you? I can help.

audio

[arnhaid]

Nah, more like, "It could be a scrapload worse".

Couple bots said they were comin'. Kinda don't think you're gonna get to help unless you got wings stashed somewhere.

audio

[badboybikerbot]

That's the spirit!

Hah. You assume I don't have wings stashed somewhere. See you in a bit, pops.

audio

[arnhaid]

I thought you said you didn't turn into nothin'.

audio

[badboybikerbot]

I can't, not on my own.

audio

[arnhaid]

You ain't gonna explain 'till I see, are you?

audio

[badboybikerbot]

Unless you'd rather I keep you waiting at the bottom of a canyon.

audio

[arnhaid]

Nah, probably gonna get too bored down here after while.

Nothin' to drink.

audio

[badboybikerbot]

Thought so. Be there soon.

audio

[arnhaid]

Sure. I ain't moving.

ACTION

[badboybikerbot]

[It doesn't take Gunmax too long to arrive. He's spent enough time cruising around looking cool that he's gotten pretty familiar with the place. NOW WHERE'S DAD.]

ACTION

[arnhaid]

[He's sitting near the edge of the canyon thing he just got pulled out of, poking at the damaged arm, and looking incredibly sour about the whole business.]

ACTION

[badboybikerbot]

[OOOOH dad's free yay. Gunmax pulls his bike up behind Ironhide and just parks there]

Ahh, someone beat me to it, huh? Looks like I need to work on my reaction time.

ACTION

[arnhaid]

Sorry, kid. Didn't feel like waitin' around in a hole.

[He gives him a little wave, regardless, with his good hand.]

ACTION

[badboybikerbot]

Can't say I blame you. Didn't sound like it was too exciting.

[Gunmax dismounts and strolls on over to take a look at Ironhide's arm]

So you got it back in, but is it working right?

ACTION

[arnhaid]

Nope. Been in more excitin' medbays. While I was out cold.

[He lifts his hand, flexing it a little.]

Not yet. We'll see what happens when I get it looked at.

ACTION

[badboybikerbot]

[well it's better than not working at all so THAT'S A PLUS]

Need a lift?

ACTION

[arnhaid]

[He blinks, looking at the bike, and at Gunmax. Then at himself.]

You sure that thing ain't gonna break?

[He's kind of huge.]
