[Oh look, it's Whirl, Jetstream, Primus, whoever he told you his name was. The elusive, and yet handsome, helicopter. ]

[He only bothers you when he has something important to say, like, cakes to mutilate, so he's not going to waste your valuable time.]

[Right. Like anyone here's got anything but time.]

Gonna make this quick. Hear a lot of you running charge on your vocalizers about rules and laws and all that slag.

I've had more police experience than most [scary but true] so here's my two shanix.

This guy. [He flashes a picture of IDW Perceptor, snagged from the recent network post.] Serial menace to society.

Yeah, yeah, I mean, sure, he shot me, a fellow Autobot [He splays one claw over his chassis.] And apparently the alleged self-appointed sheriff in town figures that's okay. [Yeah, Blurr, didn't think that would come back to haunt you? Hope you put that in YOUR application for your lawdog society.]

Might want to reconsider voting for the mech who's all for blue on blue crime, just sayin'.

But now, this mech's gone and nearly killed one of those blood pinata organics.

Anyone else think it's time we at least take his toys away?

Percy... doesn't really seem capable of jealousy. [If he could squint at you, sir, he would.]

Look, if you really wanna do somethin' about it, maybe ask Prima or Vector what they would do? Blurr's got his opinion an' I got no room to really say what should be done, either.

You don't know him as well as I do. I was there when he nearly got greased, for frag's sake.

[W-w-what?] Hey, what the frag kind of talk is that? Go beg someone else to take care of things? Grovel to some mysterious higher authority hoping for fraggin' spiritual attunement or something?

[What are you, Drift?]

Just speaking common sense. If you knew a mech tended to drink himself stupid every chance he got, you'd lock up the engex, right? Least till he got some help?

[Because Whirl is just SOOOOO about help. ]

Not beggin' them to take care of it, just for their opinion. They care about rules more than most of the others. [And some don't care at all.]

I dunno if that's really the same thing here, Whirl. I get where you're at. So if you do what you see as right, it'd just be a removal of a gun an' nothin' else. That right?

Yeah? So, that doesn't mean they get a monopoly on opinion. [Whirl? A bit hesitant to trust some aristocratic authority class? NO WAY!!]

[He glowers. With one optic. Yes. ]

What have I been saying since the beginning? [Need he scroll you back to the beginning of this post?] Just that he shouldn't have guns. Plural. Because he's proved twice now he can't handle them.

[Why is that so hard for people to understand?]

[Sorry, but you're kind of HARD TO TRUST either.]

Then I guess I'd better hope this police force thing knows what they're doin'. All of 'em. [And not just you.]

[What? Because he likes to punch cake?]

I'm going to do more than 'hope'.

Hngh. Thought you'd be more concerned. You know, with as much as Shooty McAccidentFace hangs out with Vandal.

Probably just a matter of time.

Hell, for all I know he was aiming for her when he shot me.

Maybe he's got an anti-human thing.

[Just sayin'. ]

Shooty McAccident... [That nickname throws him off for a moment.] Er, anyway!

Look, I'm concerned. I was ticked what happened to Hal, he's a friend. But it ain't my place to put down judgment on anything without gettin' everything that I should know.

Did I say 'judging'? Just saying, for his own safety--everyone's fraggin' safety--he should give up the blasty blasty till we know what's going on and that it won't happen again.

Where the frag is that so tricky?

[Of course this is totally about getting Perceptor back, but, well, Whirl does have a point. Kind of.]

Well, 'cept you're judgin' him pretty hard. Not that I can blame you, bein' shot by him an' all.

I'd just feel better if I knew the whole story, personally.

Well, 'cept I'm not.

[Mimicking? Yup.] Just saying public safety and all. If that's not something you care about, that's terrific, Decepticon,

but shut up and stay out of my way.

Don't do that.

What? Try to prevent someone with an obvious record of not knowing how to handle weapons walk around armed?

Yeah, I'm really the threat here. [Opticroll.]

No.

Don't call me that. I got a name. It's Soundwave.

So use it.

Yeah, uhuh. So calling you by the faction you fraggin' chose is now the crime of the century, right? WAAAY worse than some human getting his arm shot off by a dangerous idiot.

I'm so incredibly sorry.

All I did was put in my opinion. Never said you had to do anythin' with it, so ultimately? It ain't up to me. I'm just a civilian. I'm not doin' anything with it since it ain't my place.

But I know how most people use my faction here. I'd rather my name be used. So you deal with that and better hope I don't see you.

[DISCONNECTS.]

[Whirl just laughs. Nice threat, mech who can't even take a little arguing. He's so very very scared. What are you going to do? Beat him to death with your headband?]
