[VIDEO][TRANSMITTING FROM THE MAXIC SECTOR]

[So the feed turns on to Swindle, cheerfully waving out at others over the network. Boy does he look as if he's just won a million credits. Considering what he has in store, it might as well be. Everyone's just gonna love this.]

Greetings one and all! Through my last transmission, I happened to have received a lot of requests for gasoline. Now don't let it be said that ol' Swindle here is a bot of empty promises! I have, in my possession, several cans of gasoline that I spent a couple of days pulling out of the junkyard.

This may seem like a lot of effort to put forth for others, but I believe in good customer service. So what do you think?

[Extra emphasis on customer because haha no one's getting this stuff for free.]

[He sees that his companions have already gone into some business with you, and he feels the need to contribute to the communal gas fund, as well. However, he isn't willing to part with either his Shotgun or his pistol. He's pretty attached to them.]

Is there anything you would be willing to barter that isn't weaponry?

[youhavebeenswindled]

[Another one of you earth bots! Today keeps getting better and better.]

Well, I'm interested in other forms of interesting technology, if a fine bot like yourself has any.

[mccrane]

[Technology? This might be complicated.]

We have our AI chips, but I don't believe they would be of interest to another sentient robot.

[He doesn't think so, at least.]

Can you give me examples of what technology you might be interested in?

[There might be something from his earth you don't have!]

[youhavebeenswindled]

Hmm, AI chips I might be interested in, I won'g lie.

I hope I'm not presuming too much by asking if you can transform like Cybertronians can?

[mccrane]

I...

[He pauses, and then shakes his head.] There is no way to look at them without removing them. [It wouldn't kill him to do that, but...then you'd have his brain, and that is unnerving.]

Transformation, however, I can do. [He demonstrates, turning into crane mode.] I would show you my second form, but I don't believe it would be useful here.

[youhavebeenswindled]

[Aha, that's kind of cute, not going to lie.]

Useful or not, I'd still be very much interested in it!

How about a demonstration when we meet and we can call it even, sound fair?

[mccrane]

I'd be grateful for the opportunity.

[He returns to robot mode and nods his head, needing that gasoline.]

When is convenient for you?

[[Actionspam okay?]]
