[Oh, hello there. A robot with an accent. And... a face that may just be vaguely familiar to some. Even if the rest of his frame... isn't. It's sort of huge.]

Cybertron. Or so I'm told. One might almost mistake it for another world entirely, when it lacks the gratuitous explosions and warships. That said, I'm not entirely convinced. Is this truly Cybertron? And, if so, how is it the planet appears... so much more intact than it conceivably should?

[Is he talking to himself, or to the Link? Hard to say.]

Which brings me to yet another issue with the current predicament, I suppose. Optimus? Ratchet? You were here a moment ago, don't tell me you've been left out of this nonsense.

[Because that's just not fair.]

Once more. Optimus? Ratchet? ... Jetfire? This is Perceptor, and I would appreciate a status update, if you've time in your terribly crowded schedules.

[The last comes out more than a little irritated. None of this makes sense, and that is a problem.]

And why on Cybertron would I be putting a human in my tank mode?

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

Because who DOESN'T want to ride inside a giant tank??

[Video]

[sciencetank]

I'm assuming that you tragically don't fall under such a classification...

I have no idea what that means, but if that's a yes, then count me in.

[Yes to WHAT?!]

[Video]

[sciencetank]

Primus' pelvic pistons...

[RUBBING FACE NOW.]

It was the furthest thing possible from a yes.

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

Awww...

It's always been my dream to ride in a tank.

[Video]

[sciencetank]

I'm certain someone else has time for you to waste in such a trivial matter.

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

Yeah? What are you in a rush for?

We can't go home...

[Video]

[sciencetank]

There is far too much to be done here. Such as monitoring the geographical shift and transformation of the planet in its early developmental stages.

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

Pardon me, but doesn't that include a drive?

A drive you could oh-so-conveniently place a teenage girl in the front seat for? Besides, I could give you some deets on the place. I've been here awhile.

[Video]

[sciencetank]

There aren't any 'front seats.'

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

How primitive.

[She can play the Jerkceptor game too.]

[Video]

[sciencetank]

It's practicality.

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

What if there were smaller bots who couldn't transform into something movable?

[Video]

[sciencetank]

Then they would use a transport. Which I most certainly am not.

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

Now that seems kind of impractical. What if you don't have a transport?

[A beat. The ADD's kicking in.]

...I don't think we even introduced ourselves!

[Video]

[sciencetank]

Why wouldn't they?

... Perceptor.

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

You tell me, it's your weirdo world.

[She giggles.]

Nice to meet you, Mr. Percy! I'm Kay.

[Video]

[sciencetank]

And it's your improbable postulation.

Perceptor.

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

I like Percy better.

[Video]

[sciencetank]

And I prefer Perceptor. Seeing as it is my designation to begin with, I should think my preference would take superiority.

[Video]

[littlecrowgirl]

Ugh, fine. Be a grump.

So...did you get the lowdown on this place, Mr. Perceptor?

[Video]

[sciencetank]

More or less.

My ah. Alternate self has been most informative.
