So there I was, just about to give some Cons the thrashing of a life time, when all of a sudden I wind up here with no warning whatsoever. Kind of rude, don't you think?

I'd say someone owes me.

[Despite how terribly upsetting this is for him, he sounds pretty calm and mellow.]

Now the question is, what's a guy got to do to have some fun around here?

[Nope, he's not going to give an introduction right away. He's too busy wondering if he's going to be bored here. Priorities.]

[Just going to look at you like you're a crazy bot.]

Huh uh. Well, that's news to me. Did the definition of 'dead' change while I was out?

If it's anythin' like what happened to my buddies, then nope. Didn't change.

Doc's gonna be real surprised to see you.

[He still doesn't buy it considering that he's pretty sure he'd remember dying. That's...kind of a big deal, or so he'd imagine.

And that's why he's ignoring it.]

What were you saying before about Bulkhead and Bee?

[Yeah, he doesn't get it either. He just knows two things. 1. You're dead 2. Somehow you're not now.]

Ah...Team Prime's adopted some kids. Human kids.

Two of em are here.

[There's a little pause as he takes that in.

Followed by laughing. A lot of laughing. WOW, that's a good one. In fact, now this all makes sense.]

You're fragged in the head, you know that, right? Woo, you almost had me going for a second with that whole dead thing. Haha, human kids...

[Wheeljack'll just join in on that laughter. What's a good laugh between two obvious strangers?]

Not as fragged as you are, buddy.

How much you wanna put down that I'm right?

You're serious? No one would approve of keeping some humans around, let alone the little kind. They're...soft ...and scare easy. And soft.

Apparently orders came from Prime himself. Bulk said it took 'Cee forever to get attached to hers.

[That's right. Even Arcee has a little human.

He's also gonna fail to mention he's been roped in as foster dad.]

[NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. Arcee wouldn't... She's not like... Why would she...?!]

Now I know you're fragged. Why would Arcee take on a human? She wouldn't do something like that...

[It just sounds so unlike her.]

[Don't ask him, he's not even on the stupid team.]

Beats me. I hardly know the girl. But she's got one.

Yeah, well I do, and I think you're full of scrap.

[He doesn't mean to be so off-putting, Wheeljack. It's just when you're told you're supposed to be dead and your partner is keeping human pets... well, you get a little touchy. LET HIM GUESS, SOON YOU'LL TELL HIM SHE REPLACED HIM WITH THE HUMAN.]

Heh, fine, don't believe me. But you're gonna feel pretty fraggin' awkward in a few hours.

[WELL YOU SEE, ABOUT THAT...]

[See, he's not sure how to approach this. Wheeljack's on his side... he thinks, so has no reason to lie to him about stuff like this. At the same time, he knows his team.]

Is Arcee here?

[That's all he really wants to know right now.]

[He'll get serious for that, because he knows what it's like to worry about a partner.]

Apologies, Cliff.

Just you, me, and Ratchet so far.

[That's actually really upsetting, he's legit sad right now.]

No, it's fine... Not like I can't function without her or anything. Just would be nice, you know?

[He knows that feel, bro. REALLY.]

Yeah, wouldn't mind Bulk bein' around either.

Is that who you are? I was wondering why you know so much about the team. Heh, why didn't you say so sooner?

What, the big lug talks about me?

[There's a large smile there.]

I'm flattered.

I've might of heard a little here and there.

[Obviously not enough to recognize him right away.]

The Wrecker, right? Didn't think I'd actually get a chance to see you.

Yeeep. That'd be me. Heh, didn't think that guy would brag about me.

[He seems amused and flattered at the same time.]

It's nice ta finally meet ya, Cliff.

[It wasn't...really bragging, just bits and pieces. But he'll let Wheeljack have his moment.]

Yeah, same, but I got to ask... how'd you hear about me?

[From this whole 'dead' thing, he's going to guess it wasn't from anything good. Which is actually really upsetting.]

[His voice changes tone, more serious and somewhat gentle. Somewhat.]

Ah...well, let's just say your team misses ya, bud.

You're on Cee's mind a lot.

...

[For the first time, Cliff doesn't have anything to say. His eyes waver, looking down as he's apparently lost in thought now. Just... ouch.]

...'m sorry.

[He really is, too. It's got to be hard being told 'yeah you're really dead'. ]

I only get bits and pieces from them...I'm not really on their favourites list, but they talk about ya.

[He falls silent after that, figuring words really won't help.]
