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]

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.]

ACTION

[badboybikerbot]

[Gunmax crosses his arms and looks all offended. Seriously dude don't dis the bike]

Are you kidding? That thing's built sturdier than I am. It'll take more than some big fat guy riding on it to wear it out.

ACTION

[arnhaid]

Good to know.

[Hey man, he saw you screeching at PJ about it. He knows it's important. And he'd really feel bad if he broke it.]

Long as you're sure, guess I don't mind none.

ACTION

[badboybikerbot]

[he wasn't screeching ok he was YELLING there's a huge difference]

Yeah, I'm sure. It's no biggie. Figure you probably can't turn into a... whatever you turn into with your arm out of whack, yeah?

ACTION

[arnhaid]

I prob'ly could... but. Yeah, better not get it all bent outta shape.

Ratchet might pop outta nowhere and lecture me. Ain't nobody wants that.

ACTION

[badboybikerbot]

Well. I'd be entertained, but yeah. It should be an easy fix, right?

[WELP just gonna hop back on the bike. READY TO LOOK RIDICULOUS?]

ACTION

[arnhaid]

Should be. Guess we're just gonna have to see.

[He eyes it again. Instead of hopping on like Gunmax, he just sort of eases himself on.]

[Yeah he's sure it's going to break.]
