[Video/Action; Originating from Vector Prime's temple] Pata-pata!

[perfavore]

 [UGH. That is not the audio function. Stupid new body.

Have you ever seen an angry Italian Ferrari robot? Well if you have, you probably haven't seen them in six-inch form.  The Link opens up to show Mirage, and it's obvious to see that something about him has changed. Compared to everything else around him he seems...more petite. Not that it stops him. The bot is rather stubborn, and is making his way around Vector Prime's temple (at a snail's pace, mind you), hoping he could just voice-talk his way through this problem, get it solved and move on with his life.

However, luck is not on this guy's side today, so congrats everyone! You're looking at bitty!Mirage! And...he's not too happy, rattling off curse words in both Italian AND Cybertronian. That's not good language, mister )8<

On the front of his chestplate is the Cybertronian glyph for "Mirage".  An...odd aesthetic.]

Dio mio...This is embarrassing...

[If Shockwave or Barricade see this--]

Ironhide. Anyone. I require some assistance.

[Mirage notices the odd gentleness, not sure if it's a false sense of security, but...Barricade has been rather easy to deal with lately.

Don't mind if he makes a little Mirage bundle in your palm.]

Sounds logical to me.

[Never thought he'd be agreeing with YOU this much.]

Re: video

[perfavore]

[He looks over himself, actually a bit curious on that. There's a moment of pause before he transforms.

Hello hot wheels!]

I suppose I can.

[A slight engine purr. Did you just preen him?]

Oh~?

[perfavore]

[Wait, what.

No he wasn't holding on that tightly but NOW he's very good friends with your dashboard.

Don't mind all that Italian cursing. It's normal.]

IDIOTA!!

[raceme]

[Curse as much as you want it's entirely justified.

Bluur is not responding. He could very much be dead to the world right now.]

[noparachutes]

I'm well aware of your fate.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

[Barricade has his moments from time to time. Especially with the younger ones and smaller ones.]

Got a ways t'go. I c'n hoof it, or you can ride in my chassis compartment 'til we get there.

[Offering the choice.]

[perfavore]

Do tell, if you are all-knowing.

[perfavore]

...

[He's used to a response. This is new...]

What is wrong.

[Action]

[perfavore]

...Walking.

[If only for the fact that he's worried he'll slip in a crack and get ground to a pulp.]

If you don't mind.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

Fine with me. Why I offered it. Hope you don't mind the walk.

[His legs are (relatively) shorter than others from their dimension, after all.]

[Action]

[perfavore]

[His wings flutter again as he makes himself comfortable, awkward silence filling the air. He doesn't mind the walk, persay. It's not like Barricade's a huge difference in size to him.]

Why not use your thrusters?

[Yes, he remembers you saying that.]

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

[Barricade starts walking, keeping the natural bounce of his stride to a minimum. He's not here to rattle poor tiny Mirage.]

Haven't worked the kinks out. And I... ain't much for in-atmo flying.

[Which is putting it mildly, in fact.]

[noparachutes]

Were you not paying attention before?

[raceme]

[What isn't wrong?

Everything is such a mess right now.]

I will leave you in the medbay but I'm NOT going inside there and I'm not seeing any doctors. [If he sees a laser scalpel he might lose it.]

[Action]

[perfavore]

[He appreciates that, and leans back into those fingers as they walk, looking up at him.]

Cannot say I blame you. Although flight is mostly beyond Autobots.

[perfavore]

...

[So Blurr has a problem with medics. That's slightly problematic.]

Oh? And why is this?

[perfavore]

I meant an accurate one, idiota.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

[Barricade keeps the upper pair of his optics on the area, while the lower two are focused on Mirage.]

If you ask me, you really aren't missing much. Just the thrill of getting pulled out of the air by someone on the ground, probably. I never saw the appeal of flight.

[Action]

[perfavore]

It can have advantages.

[Flying over mountains instead of following paths can be a boon.]

Aesthetically, being on the ground offers more, a mio parere.

[noparachutes]

How much detail would you like to hear about your eventual death? Or would you rather choose how I kill you?

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

Have to agree there. Just a lot more variety on the ground, anyway. We tend t'turn out a lot prettier too.

[raceme]

[Nope.

Still not answering.

But he's going to start driving again, be happy with that.]

[Action]

[perfavore]

That I can agree with. Starscream and Blackout never had much appeal.

[perfavore]

I will not allow that to happen, Shockwave. Any Autobot death will be prevented, including my own.

[perfavore]

Blurr.

[Well, at least he's driving, but the fact that the chatty bot is silent is a tad worrying.]

Explain, per favore.
