[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?

Whirl, given what I know about you, and granted it's not a whole lot, I really think you ought to reconsider putting yourself in the role of a lawman until you settle down a little. [Basically, he's saying you need a new therapist, you crazy bastard.] This sounds more like a lynch mob than it does an organized group of law enforcement.

I'm not putting myself in any fraggin' role. Just saying that two 'incidents' with a gun? Perceptor should be stopped.

[Go ahead, tell him that's crazy. He'll find a table and flip it just for you.]

Trust me, if I wanted to handle this, it'd be fraggin' handled before anyone could even say 'DAMN that Whirl is fast.'

And ruthless.

And awesome.

I do see where you're coming from, but the police forces are still getting on their pedes. I'm sure they're working on a way of resolving this.

Have a little faith, and if the lawmen are unable to capture Perceptor, well, I'm sure the reborn Wreckers' group will have a field day in their place.

Just... be careful, that's all I'm saying. In words and action. [He did shoot your ass, you know.]

Yeah and when it was just me getting injured it was all fun and fraggin' games, right?

They need to move a little faster. Unless you want more business for your medibay.

Pfff. Careful. Whatever. Like it matters to you, anyway.

"Like it matters"-- What's that suppose to mean? Are you implying I don't care about your health? Of course I am! Otherwise why would I insist on you finding a new psychologist? [Well, works for both Whirl AND everyone else, er, but he cares! :'( He knows what it's like to be the odd man out in a group, okay sniff.] I'm just saying if you've got to get involved, try not to do so with your fists... claws... Whatever.

I don't need a fraggin' new psychologist. I'm fine.

...'cept for that hallucination.

[OOps. You didn't hear that part.]

Would you give me some credit? If I was going to go after him, I'd have fraggin' done it. Without this show.

[LOOK HOW HUFFY HE LOOKS. HE'S SO HUFFY RIGHT NOW and wait did you say something--]

[Ah, well, just frowns and shakes his head.] I'm just trying to give you incentive for any future decisions you should decide to make. You are notoriously stubborn. Right now, you're doing your best just keeping watch and not taking matters into your own hands. [gold star for whurl] [beat beat beat] But I still recommend the psychologist.

[He does look huffy. Unfortunately, Whirl thinks it's adorable. ]

Future? [What is this alien concept?]

Listen, Ambulon. [Gimme that gold star! *swipe*] I don't know why everyone thinks I'm going to fraggin' explode. All I want is the mech who shot me to, you know, not shoot anyone else.

How's that so crazy, huh?

[HUFF HUFF]

[he just pinches the bridge of his nose - you jealous, Whirl - and sighs] I just wanted to make absolute sure that you weren't going to do anything stupid or change your mind on how to handle the situation. That's all. I'm taking your word on it now, though, that you're definitely, for sure going to be cautious and logical about this. [DON'T ABUSE HIS WORD.]

[Keep being huffdorable and Whirl will come over there and hug you.]

....when have I done anything stupid?

[He's just going to let you blow your own mind trying to answer that.]

Look. I'll level with you. I thought about it, but if I went after Perceptor, I'd be the bad guy. [Flashback to Springer and the 'sparkeater' Been there, done that, ripped up the t-shirt trying to get it on. ]

This way, the bad guy is the bad guy. Simple, huh?

[HE'S NOT GONNA HUFF TO SPITE YOU]

Oh, I don't know if you going after Perceptor would make you a "bad" guy. More so, probably a "stupid" guy.

[Sinking to Whirl's level of maturity? VICTORY.]

...stupid? You don't think I can take out that nerd?

[oh goddammit]

It has nothing to do with you not having the capabilities, but if I know this Perceptor, I know he's ruthless and a (former) Wrecker. You were one, too; do you think two Wreckers fighting would be nice and clean? I doubt it. One of you will probably end up dead, the other critically injured, and I don't know, EXPLOSIONS EVERYWHERE. [throws up his hands] You know what I'm saying!

[You are no fun.]

...you're saying that you'd be sad if I got hurt.

[You care! Don't lie.]

I just don't feel like reconstructing your entire chassis from scratch after such a brutal battle.

[MAYBE]

I'd think you'd relish the chance to get so, you know, intimate with me.

[Leer. Kind of.]

[He's glaring at you right now. Damn, he held that glare for like an entire minute.]

[Then he cuts the transmission. Perv.]

[Whirl understands. He's so hot that you clearly need some Special Private Time.]
