[show_my_cannons]

[Another video feed with Ironhide. Though, this time, he seems much more pleased with current events. He's seated on the floor, between his Growlithe, and his Aggron, examining a little green creature busily chewing on his boot toe.]

Huh. Not what I expected. Not sure I mind...

[Yep. His Christmas egg finally hatched. As he sits there, actually, genuinely smirking, the baby pokemon decides it's a good time to climb up one of his big arms, and perch on his shoulder.]

[It's a Scyther. A slightly different color of Scyther...]

I have just the name for you, kid.

[Apparently he's either unaware he turned the 'gear on, or he's feeling in an exceptionally good mood. Because he reaches up to tap the little bug on the nose.]

Best live up to it, Sideswipe.

Starter?

She was the one I arrived with... yeah.

[getthehorns]

... I don't see the resemblance.

[show_my_cannons]

You do not know him like I do, then.

[ video ]

[colorsofthewind]

I'm not really sure why people use the term "starter", either, but I guess it does make sense.

[getthehorns]

Probably not, if that thing reminds you of him.

[ video ]

[show_my_cannons]

Hn. Because you 'start' with them. Yeah. I get that...

[Meanwhile, the wee scyther has decided it would like to chew on the 'gear.]

[show_my_cannons]

Arrogant, bladed, attempting to take on things far too large... sort of dense.

Hard not to be reminded.

[getthehorns]

Your Sideswipe uses blades? Arrogant I get. Also cocky. Is yours cocky?

[show_my_cannons]

Yeah. Tried to train it out of him. Never could.

[He grunts.]

You have no idea.

[getthehorns]

Hey, it takes real metal to be a melee fighter, so there's that at least. Nothin' wrong with poundin' faceplate if you can.

Heh. Maybe some things just come with the name.

[show_my_cannons]

And if he had the build for it, I would not be against it. He does not. Built like a stick... too much put into speed. Not enough armor.

[getthehorns]

Really? Now I'm trying to picture it.

I mean, the Sideswipe I know wasn't exactly big, but he wasn't "built like a stick".

[ video ]

[colorsofthewind]

... Oh my. Your Scyther sure is enthusiastic!

[Video]

[foolishwren]

... You could make its middle name 'Heather'!

_{[PERFECT SOLUTION.]}

[action]

[show_my_cannons]

Already have one.

The coat, not the... day.

[action]

[machinamonkey]

You don't remember your birthday?

[Video]

[show_my_cannons]

Heh.

Not sure how Sideswipe would feel about that. Always had an ego on him.

[ video ]

[show_my_cannons]

... Or hungry. Hard to say which.

[show_my_cannons]

This kid... all leg. All arm.

Makes for a bad frontline soldier. And that was where he always wanted to be.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Well, so do I. So, you know.

[ video ]

[colorsofthewind]

Well, I still think she's darling.

[action]

[show_my_cannons]

We do not have that kind of... thing. Humans do. Autobots do not.

[action]

[machinamonkey]

...really? How do you keep track of your age?

[getthehorns]

... You miss him?

[Video]

[show_my_cannons]

... Do these things really need two names?
