Greetings. [Jetfire probably looks a bit too serious for the topic this is going to be revealed to be about, but he's simply like that.]

After I promised someone who's not... er, as big as some of us a way to get around more easily, it was clear more of you would need the same. Since unless you've found something in the Junk Pile or can always trust to quickly have a nearby cybertronian offer or ask them, which might not always be possible in an emergency.

So, this is hopefully a workable solution... [Jetfire briefly partly turns away from the feed, and when he turns back he angles the arm he has the computer screen on that's recording to show a... well, it reminds of a disc. Maybe an upside-down frisbee, with an added, low railing and what's clearly seating.]

They hover, and you control direction by leaning where you want to go... it is recommended you sit down while riding one of these. Speed I've managed to add as a manual control toggle.

[It was, however, easier to make the control motion sensitive, even if that might make them slightly harder to control for the humans and/or other smaller organics that would need them.

He carefully puts the little disc back on the table beside him as he turns back to the feed.]

I only have seven of these for now, but I'm working on more, so ideally every temple that has at least an organic will get one first, then the Hub ought to have one, and then I can start giving them out to any who wants or needs one.

Locked to Four
I apologise for the time this took, but yours was tinier than the others, so they were all finished more or less at the same time.

[This time the little hover frisbee-like disc he presents have a little extra "frisbee" attached behind, much larger than the front one as well as two claw arms, one obviously meant to pick up anything that couldn't be made, or wasn't, magnetic, and the other one to pick up what the claw couldn't.]

I had to compromise between the size that would most fit you and how large the... ah, attachments could be and still make it reasonably easy to control. I hope it works.

Locked to Starscream
[Excuse him as he stares into the feed for a moment, then glances away no, he's not squirming and back, shaking his helm.]

Starscream... I need to talk to you. In person.

[There is that, yes.]

You'll have to share it with anyone else of the human or short alien persuasion in the temple you're in until I can make more, but after that... certainly.

[Smiling at the enthusiasm, Jetfire doesn't really think anything is amiss with revealing their possible top speed and thus...]

Ah... I'm uncertain of the equivalent speed in Earth terms... But I added belts for a reason, and a helmet and some sort of thicker clothing might not be amiss if you intend to go at the top speed available, since the wind-pressure itself would be quite harsh.

[Translation, around 90 mph presently.]

[sariexmachina]

So reeaaaaally super fast? That sounds awesome!

-Awwwww! Do I have to share?

[Look at that face. How can you resist?]

[angleofscience]

[Quite... resistible. Jetfire just tilts his helm, expression blank, but there might be a slight angle to his optics that may be a smile. Maybe.]

Until I can make more, yes. As soon as I have... I suppose you could have one of the first. [He pauses, looking Sari over and given her reaction...]

If you can show me a helmet at the least.

[sariexmachina]

Aww, fine!

[She huffs a bit, still not used to being denied despite the lack of human supplies here.]

-wait, a helmet? Where am I gonna get one of those around here?!

[angleofscience]

I'd guess the junk pile might have one or two... And even if you don't find one that fits you it could probably be adjusted for that.

[Jetfire smiles slightly, and maybe this can placate her a bit.]

If nothing else, shouldn't be impossible to make one if you can't find anything suitable.

[sariexmachina]

I don't know how to make a helmet!

[She throws her hands up, pouting.]

Do you have any idea how hard it is to find anything you reeeaaally want in that mess? I look for food, I find blankets and video games! I find candy and vegetables when I'm looking for toys! I'll never find one of those!

[Okay now she's just whining.]

[angleofscience]

But even if it's hard to find it, given what you've said, you've found what you needed... just at different times. I assume you did save what you found, even if it weren't what you were looking for in the first place?

And I meant I'd help you make one, if you end up being unable to find one.

[Said whining being met with nothing less but a tilt of Jetfire's helm and patience. Beat them down gently, as it were.]

[sariexmachina]

Well yeah! I'm not stupid!

But now that I'm looking for it, I'll never find one-

[She pauses.]

Oh. Right. Eheh... Y-eaaaah making one would probably be easier?

[angleofscience]

[Jetfire just nods placidly, optics glowing brightly. The claws-out reaction hardly fazes him.]

How about this, attempt to look for a helmet, otherwise the materials needed to make one? Metal would be too heavy, and since we don't have other materials easily available or produced finding them will be necessary anyway.

[Even if he had the raw materials to make what was needed, they didn't have a lot of... equipment.]

[sariexmachina]

Okaaaaay, I can do that!

[She sighs, and goes off to do just that - but not without a parting grumble before clicking off the feed.]

It would be easier to look for stuff if I already had one you know...
