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]

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.]

ACTION

[badboybikerbot]

[don't be a baby the bike turns into ARMOR it's supposed to take abuse you can't break it with your butt]

You're taking like six years. You good to go yet or what?

ACTION

[arnhaid]

[Shut up he doesn't know that.]

Yeah, yeah, just get rollin'.

ACTION

[badboybikerbot]

Tch, already with the backseat driving.

[but gunmax does INDEED get rolling. hold onto your butt]

ACTION

[arnhaid]

Get to my age, kid, you'll be entitled.

[He's holding on, okay let's go B(]

ACTION

[badboybikerbot]

Hah. We're top of the line, but I don't know if I'm built to last that long.

[seriously dude you guys are kind of impossible. WE'RE GOING GOD]

ACTION

[arnhaid]

How come? Someone gonna stop you gettin' upgraded if you need it?

[They're alive, to him, so it makes sense they should have the same lives a Cybertronian would.]
