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

[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.

[That gets a chuckle out of the Ferrari.]

You were not fond of him?

[He grins.]

Hardly had t'be; I didn't work with him much. But I would've taken Brawl's company over his, any cycle.

Cannot say I would prefer either, for obvious reasons.

[That head seems to tilt into that petting now, the click-whirr sounding again.]

Eh, Brawl had his moments but he wasn't so bad, sometimes.

And you seem t'like me petting you.

[Which is why he's going to keep doing it.]

[At that last statement, he shakes his head, as if immediately realizing that Barricade was the one doing that.]

Stronzate.

And perhaps I would believe you more if Brawl had not tried to destroy my comrades.

Ah, but your comrades were trying to destroy my comrades as well.

Still listened to you talk about Que, as if he didn't build weapons to annihilate all the mechs I knew.

[Mirage quiets down, thinking this over. Whether he'd admit to it or not, Barricade had a point. And...well he'd be lying if he said that Decepticons hadn't proven him wrong before.]

He seemed...confident.

[Barricade tries to look at things logically, from time to time. He chuckles quietly.]

He was. Well, you might be too if your faction's second-in-command hand-picked you as the artillery guy for a search-and-rescue mission. No one knew weapons like Brawl did.

[Mirage's tiny hand traces along the seams of Barricade's fingers idly.]

That is quite an honor. Although I wonder if his knowledge bests Ironhide's.

[Barricade twitches his claws lightly, though he doesn't seem particularly bothered otherwise. ~~He's a little ticklish, so sue him.~~]

It was; the bridge crew of Nemesis was well-picked and honored t'be chosen. Well, for the first five thousand cycles, anyway. As for Brawl... couldn't say how he would've matched up against Ironhide. Don't know if they faced one another during the war.

[Okay, because Mirage isn't going to stop, finding the little twitches to be interesting. Okay, so maybe he got a little more playful in his shrinking.]

They have not. If they had I cannot see how they wouldn't make...an impression.

[It's sort of the same principle as blowing on the back of a cat's ear, really. Just without the owner of the appendage looking put-upon about it. Twitch twitch twitch.]

Heh. You mean 'a crater that could be observed from orbit'? Haven't seen any lately, myself, so they likely never did meet.

[It seems to amuse Mirage to an extent, now batting at the fingers.]

Perhaps that is better for everyone.

Probably is. The universe thanks them f'r staying well clear of one another.

[Barricade looks at Mirage, vaguely amused.]

Havin' fun, there?

[As if snapping out of a trance, he looks up.]

...I....No.

[FFFF]

Really? Because it looked like you were.

[He grins.]

But I've probably got a ball'a yarn somewhere if you prefer that~

[Those door wings instantly angle down, like cat ears.]

What do you take me for, a hatchling?

[You're really convincing him otherwise.]

[He chuckles lightly, moving to rub Mirage's head with his thumb again.]

Don't be like that. Not my fault y'seem to be acting sillier than usual.

[Nooo stopppp he leans into that touch again, eyes narrowed.]

I don't understand it myself.

It's embarrassing.

[Nope gonna keep doing it. If you didn't want it you shouldn't have been adoraboo.]

Nonsense, it's cute. Which was probably the idea behind whatever did this to you.

[FFFF you are worst listener, Cade. His arm reaches up to try and grab that finger.]

To ruin any possible reputation I might-

[He stops when that finger gets to he front/top of the head, right where his Autobot sigil is. Oh...oh yes. Right there.

He flops over to let Cade work.]

[That's what he thought you said. He will just rub on that spot for a while, grinning. Found your spot~]

Now, now. I ain't bugged and you probably aren't either, and no one's listening. How is this going to ruin your reputation.

[There's a little clicky purr from the bot as he lies down in that hand. Yes, yes keep going.]

You wouldn't tell?

[Oh, don't worry, he will. And he will be recording that noise for posterity. Welcome to his Noise Files, Mirage.]

Who would I tell? I don't like Shockwave and Ironhide would shoot me in the face as soon as he saw me.

[He doesn't want to know about that. Best not to tell him. The purring continues, even arching his head towards it.]

...True. But there are other residents here.
