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.]

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

Need a lift?

[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.]

[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.

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.

[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?

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.

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?]

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.]

[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?

[Shut up he doesn't know that.]

Yeah, yeah, just get rollin'.

Tch, already with the backseat driving.

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

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

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

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]

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.]

Well no, I guess not. But there's things that probably can't be upgraded, know what I mean?

Yeah? Like what?

What if my A.I. chip gets corrupted or something? My memories could probably be backed up somewhere else but. I dunno, it just seems... Ah hell, I don't know. I wanna say unnatural, but that kinda comes with the whole being a machine thing.

That's all you got to keep your memories and stuff in? A chip?

That don't seem fair.

[Why yes that is the issue he sees here. Not the machine part.]

Hey. Our technology wasn't nearly as fancy as yours. Work with what you've got, right?

Yeah, well. You're here now. Maybe you should see 'bout gettin' that looked at.

Backed up or whatever.

Maybe, but I don't like the idea of someone who doesn't know what they're doing poking around in my head. Replacing an engine is one thing. This is something completely different.

Eh, yeah. Fair enough.

No reason to worry 'bout it now, anyway, yeah? Your parts are pretty much new.

Fair enough. I'll worry about it when it actually becomes an issue. You holdin' up back there okay?

Spoken like a bot after my own spark.

[He grunts.]

I ain't fallin' apart, if that's what you mean.

Aw, look at that. We're bonding.

[or something]

Good to hear. We're almost there, so make sure it stays that way.
