 [So.

Wheeljack saw that cute little broadcast to the network looking for a police force. He had to give the little guy credit, he sure stuck to his job like glue.  They were both pretty alike in that aspect, to say the least.  The feed clicks on to show Wheeljack sitting, tossing his grenade up and down in one hand.  After one or two tosses, he catches it, putting it back to it's home on his waist.]

So. Blurrk's makin' some kinda police force? Noble idea, guy. I'd join, but it ain't really my thing.  Rules? Just get in the way, if ya ask me.

[There's a slight shrug.]

What can I say? I'm a 'loose cannon'. 

So here's my proposition to ya. How about we make our own team of Wreckers?  Dunno what a Wrecker is? Well here's the real deal, kids.  Black Ops, guys who take missions the law enforcement's too scared to do. Warriors. That kinda deal, ya get what I'm sayin'? Workin' outside the chain of command on this one, not that there's one here really to start with.

No forms needed, they just clog the channels up anyway. And...let's be honest, ya might not make it past the first mission anyway. 

[He leans back again, drawing out a sword and inspecting it.]

How's that for a nice alternative?

...A dude once said to me I'd have made a great Wrecker.

Dunno if he was right, but it's somethin' to think about.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

I see potential, bud. If you're anythin' like my universe's 'Wave, then I know dedication's there.

...Not sure if I'm fond of it just yet.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

I'm in.

[video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Yeah? Gotta give ya props for divin' headfirst.

[poemssometimesrhyme]

... and who exactly decides who needs to be taken out?

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[Have a slight shrug. Fuck if he knows, man. Fuck if he knows.]

Usually there's a leader of the Wreckers, but they scattered in my world.

[raceme]

[Why you had to call him BLURRK in public, why.

Also, he's not really happy to see this. He looks rather hurt.]

You could have told me about this before you know...

[raceme]

[But the stoic face is back in seconds.]

Best luck with the new recruits I'm sure you will have ^{no problem} finding volunteers.

[He doesn't say anything. Just smiles into the screen, looking hopeful.

He's asking with his eyes, Jackie. PLEEEEEASE?]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

...

Hey.

[Wait...you're not...]

[Video]

[lookatmyguns]

Sounds like fun.

I'm in.

[Police force didn't appeal to him that much anyway. Not that Ironhide minds taking orders of course, but unless the person giving orders is Optimus... well yeah.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

'Hide? You're in?

Glad ta hear that. We could use someone with your kinda firepower.

[This is what happens when you leave him alone for a few days.]

I'm all for constructively considering alternative ideas Wheeljack, but let me ask you a few things.

As mentioned, who decides what situations need to be responded to, how they are handled, the level of force used, and what to do with the individuals? How do you maintain consistency over time in all these things?

Or more simply: How can you prevent a force like you describe, in a civilian community this, from becoming a force of oppression? This is often how bullies are born.

Without known and accepted laws, or some form of order to adhere to, in the end a force like this would maintain peace primarialy through fear.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[There's a slight shrug at all that. Really, he didn't think that stuff through, nor did he really expect himself to.]

Wing, was it?

[He vaguely remembers you.]

Listen, I'm just a soldier, bud. Back home the Wreckers were sent on missions by commanders. Ya got a commander? I'll take their word for it. Can't say accidents won't happen, but--[Another shrug.] Compromise.

Thought that's what Blurrk's police force was for.

[also jacked bc whirl]

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Let me tell you something, pretty bot.

You think a police force can't become a force of oppression? You need a history lesson or something?

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Well, sounds like a good way to get the tiny medical facilities here more traffic. [As well as inspire more of First Aid's fangirling GOSH YOU GUYS.] And you know, 'loose cannon' doesn't sound nearly inspiring as you would think. More like, 'prone to spontaneous combustion without warning'. [sigh] I mean, I can see where the Wreckers may come in handy, but is there such a need for them at this junction in time?

[audio]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Can't really say I was goin' for 'inspiring'. More like 'admittin' the truth'.

[Because he's NEVER heard that combustion joke, Ambulon )8< ]

About the same need as a police force, don't ya think?

[ooc: WHY DO THEY LOOK ALIKE FUCK]

[redshirtrobot]

Oh scrap.

[Don't mind Fracas he'll just. Hide behind Shockwave forever. Protect him, giant CO!]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[NOPE HE SAW THAT.

HI BUDDY.]

Well look who it is.

[herodecoded]

[Did you say the w word?]

It would seem you are in need of my skills in combat.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Well look who it is, the afthole who threatened Bulkhead's kid.

[Care to explain?]

not here

[noparachutes]

[But he's watching this quite interested. As well as watching that chat with Fracas, you're making his vehicon nervous.]

[aerospacecommander]

Getting down and dirty? I like it.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Screamy? Man, that's a first.

audio | slides in here super late

[percept]

[ Oh look, his old job just came knocking. ]

Will you be accepting former Wreckers?

audio | /welcomes with open arms

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Gladly.

You used to wreck n' rule?
