[Video][Transmitting from the Junk Pile]

I might have accidentally started the fireworks early.

[The edges of his plating are singed, and just behind him the very flaming carcass of an automobile is roaring in its death throes.]

Energon, it seems, is not a viable replacement for gasoline. [He is grateful he didn't try consuming it before this test, and even more grateful that he managed to start the vehicle from a distance.]

[Since. Ah. It exploded.]

I don't suppose anyone has any suggestions? Or a way to convert us to a different fuel source?

Or some wash-cloths and soap?

I desire many things, most of which I don't expect you to understand. But! You may start with these:

[A quest should you choose to accept:
A grocery list of common(-ish) power tools is forwarded, including rough (Starscream-sized) size estimates, and right at the bottom what looks like a large powercell. In fact, it kind of looks like it might be a large nuclear power cell? Maybe even the kind of thing that didn't exist back in the '90s??]

And if you must know, I'm mostly interested in what's there at the bottom.
Find it for me, and you will be rewarded handsomely.

((Should yo accept I figure the tools will be possible to find, but the powercell certainly won't be. If McCrane wants to be a busy bee, he can find everything??? but if not, feel free to just, like, discover a giant screwdriver and call it a day.))

Enticement is not needed.

[He feels like he's being talked down to and he doesn't like it, but he is too polite to contradict more, yet.]

I will keep watch for these.

((*salutes!* When I return from TFcon I shall post some of these for you!))
