[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.

[This is the best thing and Barricade is never, never forgetting this. Ever.]

Mm, and whose word should they take about you? Yours, or mine?

[He only really knew you from your file on Nemesis after all.]

[Action]

[perfavore]

[He will deny this to the grave when he's big again.]

I would prefer my own. I do not know your opinion of me to say the least.

[He just knows you as 'that guy that tries to kill Bumblebee'.]

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

[Bro he's got it recorded, you can never deny that.]

Mm. Most of what I know about you is from 'Con records of you. Which were pretty thorough until the Cube was jettisoned from the planet.

[Action]

[perfavore]

[One little blue optic pops up, looking into that set of eyes in return.]

So they did not catch my best side.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

Well, when folks scatter t'the wind, communication and reports get spotty.

[Action]

[perfavore]

This is true.

[Back into that little ball he goes.]

I did a lot of planet hopping.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

Heard most of us that weren't tracking the cube did. See anything interesting?

[Back to petting, in that case.]

[Action]

[perfavore]

[And that clicky purr continues, arching up so Barricade gets behind his neck. Oh ALLSPARK that felt good.]

Nothing close to Earth. They were mostly barren.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

[Oh, this is lovely. He's definitely going to remember this for later. It might come in handy~]

Not really surprised by that. Bunch of empty floating rocks.

[Action]

[perfavore]

[Nooo its one of his weak spoottttsss

Those optics flicker slightly. Someone's pretty dazed from the sensation.]

S...Si.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

[Barricade's lips twitch into a grin. He's gonna stop for now, before this gets awkward for poor wee Mirage.]

Ran across a few of those, myself. Never actually went down, though.

[Action]

[perfavore]

[And like the turn of a switch, Mirage's eyes are back and fully open. It's like Barricade never stroked him. BUT HE KNEW. Not that he'd say anything.]

There was no point half the time. I even hesitated with Earth.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

[Barricade knows better, really. And he is never going to let this go. Ever. He just won't bring it up in public.]

No. Earth was where the Cube was. It was time t'leave the pilot's chair by then.

[Action]

[perfavore]

The cube had been....channeled elsewhere by that time.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

Yeah. I know. I may have missed it, but there was plenty of video of it.

[Action]

[perfavore]

...The humans certainly make rash decisions...

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

Yeah, they do. Who knew such squishy pipsqueaks could cause so many problems.

[Action]

[perfavore]

Si. Although they have proven useful as well...

[He'd be lying if he didn't say Reynolds had gotten him out of a jam]

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

Mm. Not so much t'me yet. Not the ones from our Earth, anyway.

[And Alex Mercer, who did help him quite a lot, wasn't even really human anyway.]

[Action]

[perfavore]

In their defense, you did try to kill a few.

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

C'mon, that was only a couple. And it's been a while.

[Action]

[perfavore]

A couple hundred.

Did you forget Mission City?

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

I wasn't even there. Ironhide bashed me into a freeway pillar before I got t'the city.

[Though it may have had something to do with Bonecrusher distracting him by leaping on Optimus Prime.]

When I came to I had to limp out of there before Sector Seven showed up.

[Action]

[perfavore]

Sounds like the day just wouldn't agree with you.

[Mirage it's like you meshed three sayings into one.]

[Action]

[namesnotprowl]

[It's okay. He's heard many mangled sayings lately.]

Heh. It was like Karma decided to finally cash in, all over my aft. Big concrete pillar and next thing y'know I'm waking up and everyone else is dead and I can't... hail Frenzy on the comms.
