[What's this? Oh, look, it's Ironhide. And he appears to be training two of his pokemon -- a Teddiursa and an Aron. What's he training them to do, you ask?]

[Well. They appear to be attacking a tree trunk. A tree trunk with a crude stick figure and a spiky logo carved into it. The two pokemon are taking turns practicing their attacks on the tree, while Ironhide paces behind them, barking orders, in true military fashion. His Onix is visible behind the tree, watching curiously as they work. She looks a little scuffed up -- clearly, she hasn't escaped the training regimen either.]

[Eventually, he nods, and steps back.]

Good. Enough.

[That said, Ironhide limps over to his Onix to look her over. While his back is turned, Jaws the Teddiursa looks at Egg the Aron, before growling, and pouncing on it. Egg yips, butting at Jaws, and before you know it, there's a scuffle going on as Jaws bites at Egg, and Egg retaliates in scratches and tackles. It looks as if Egg has the upper hand, with his tough armor and heavier body but... suddenly... there's a bright flash.]

[And instead of a little Teddiursa, Egg is now confronted by a very large, very angry Ursaring. The bear pokemon roars in triumph and takes a menacing step toward Egg. The little Aron squeaks, but holds his ground. And... appears to be tensing up. As if he's concentrating very hard.]

[There's a second flash. By now, Ironhide has turned around, staring in confusion at his pokemon.]

What--

[It would appear that, not to be outdone by his companion, Egg decided to evolve in a fit of pique. Scowling, Ironhide does the only thing he can do, at this point. He recalls the pokemon into their separate pokeballs, and puts a hand to his face.]

... Children. I am dealing with children. Large... animal children.

Or maybe it just has poor processor function.

C'mon now, gettin' ornery about it ain't gonna solve the problem. They're like foals, you gotta be consistent.

I am consistent.

'Course you are--consistently not gettin' results, it seems like.

I get results.

Well, fightin' is a result, but I reckon it ain't the one you were hopin' for.

Admit it, Otto-bot. Your methods ain't workin'.

My methods work fine. They have worked for centuries.

[ She'll ask his age later, but now-- ]

But not on pokey-mon, I'll wager.

[Don't ask, Applejack, his age has two many zeros in it.]

It worked on her.

[And again, he jerks a finger at Napalm.]

So what? They ain't workin' on the other two! Each pokey-mon is different.

They just need more time. More training.

Or, y'know, more love and attention, but if that's how you wanna do it...

... I do care about them.

You sure don't show it a whole lot.

[ AJ, your standards are kind of wonky due to LOL PONIES, I don't think you can judge. ]

I do not... display it. Not necessary.

Well, maybe you oughta explore your options a little!

You got nothing to lose.

No.

It is unnecessary.

You really think that, Otto-bot?

[ SAD PONY FACE ]

[dsfjkds don't make that face.]

In... most instances. Yeah. Dislike... showing things.

That ain't right. You gotta show people you care, otherwise they'd be right to plumb give up on you! How would we have been friends if I hadn't send you those pies and fritters?

...you did eat 'em, didn't you?

They are used to me.

[After millions of years, anyone on the Autobots' team should be used to Ironhide's methods.]

... yeah. They were... sweet.

'Sweet'? Good sweet or bad sweet?

Just... sweet. Gave some of it to Cliffjumper.

You didn't like it, did you.

[ SAD PONY FACE STRIKES BACK ]

I did not say that.

[hjfk;sdkjfds don't make that face.]
