 [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?

You'd have to try a lot harder.

I still get to do something valuable by keeping the ship running, without getting myself scrapped. [Or having to worry that the optic he's missing under his mask will endanger his comrades.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Self preservation. Smart.

Heard the ship went down awhile ago. Went crazy or somethin'.

[redshirtrobot]

It, uh. Spontaneously gained sentience after its normal fuel was replaced with dark energon.

I think it saw us all as threats to its mission, so it disabled us... But! Things are under control now; everything is running as it should.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Hate when that happens.

[The sarcasm, all of it.]

Bet Megatron was as happy as a scraplet about that.

[redshirtrobot]

Because it happens to your ship so often?

He didn't sound too happy over the comm when he ordered all of us to take the ship offline...

[wheeljackofalltrades]

That's the point, buddy.

Maybe your overlord should stop shovin' Dark Energon where it just doesn't belong.

[redshirtrobot]

Maybe you should tell him that.

[He likes living too much to make suggestions to Megatron. Or any other officer, for that matter.]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

I'll be sure to mention it the next time we meet.

[redshirtrobot]

You do that.

[He'll find a broom to sweep up whatever is left of your parts.]
