[Video][Transmitting from the Junk Pile]

[mccrane]

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?

...Well, there goes that theory!

You damaged?

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Blasters and fuel pumps don't mix.

Learned that one the hard way.

[Starscream is just laughing. And pointing.]

You tried to put energon in an earth vehicle?! Ahahaah, that's the stupidest thing I've ever seen!

[Video]

[docbot]

Ah.

[His eyes are huge right now.]

Yes, I could have told you that. I've done plenty of tests ...

[patokichi]

Ah! McCrane! Are you alright? You're not damaged are you?

And ah... perhaps we should ask around if there's some way to... convert it into an energy source that could be used by us.

[sword_redemption]

You could have asked those of us who have been to Earth.

[If he said 'baka' would that help the message get through?]

We had devices that converted matter into energon. They can probably be reconfigured to produce your gasoline.

Then I should not attempt running a generator from it, then.

[Not that he has the parts or ability to make a generator to plug into.]

You have not been damaged?

Holys--McCrane!

[She eyes the flaming carcass behind him.]

I'm coming over to put out that fire, okay?! [Was on her way to the junkpile for Gunmax's fireworks festival anyway.]

And I've got a water bottle--I don't have soap, but I can still rinse you off. [And she could use her pelt for a rag. But oh, that was a good point--Korra should find soap later. ...Come to think of it, when was the last time she bathed?]

Are you hurt? Did you contact Ratchet?

[raceme]

Are you by any chance hurt in any way or form sir? Or the explosion only ruined... whatever it is that thing burning behind you?

Have you tried mixing the gasoline with the energon in small quantities at first until you find an stable and viable solution? Not all the engines process energon the same way I happen to consume it three time faster than other Cybetrtronian due to my fast speed.

... I'm relieved you didn't try to drink it yourself.

[It's just... why would you--- Elita shakes her helm,briefly rubbing the front of it, though she manages to keep her frown away from her faceplates.]

What possessed you to attempt that? Even if it was on an... I assume, Earth vehicle?

[voice]

[automobile_enthusiast]

...

Ahaha. Well, that didn't go very well, did it?

[video]

[brokendown]

[The car is still burning with wicked magnesium fires as well as flammable junk lit up from the blast. The inner seating lets out a vile plume of smoke from smouldering fake-leather vinyl and padding. It should be visible for a while.]

Didn't know it would do that. There goes lunch. Well, not lunch for you.

[Video]

[nexicpolarity]

[oh that looks painful]

Was that one of you...?

[my_own_trope]

Did you honestly just try to put energon into a combustion engine?
