[There's that growl again.] Do not decry our scientists...! He has done nothing to your kind, Decepticon! Quiet!

Oh they know what they fight for. The glory of Megatron. The traitor himself.

[He's in his room, probably shredding something.]

Oh, the scientist of which I speak is a thoroughly deplorable creature. Once Perceptor deleted his personality, he became a true monster.

All hail... Fighting for a single mech is no fight at all.

[Knock knock, 'Hide.]

... I know no Perceptor. Not our kind. Autobots... would never be so...

[Flings the door open, scratching it in the process--there is as much RAGE as Shockwave's form is capable of conveying right there in that doorway]

They beg to differ.

Not yours, perhaps, but mine were, are. And they fear the Decepticons because they made them.

[He's rather impressed by that; he can't say he's seen so much rage in his own body before. Still, he can't help but to reach across and run one digit over one of his antenna, as carefully and swiftly as possible. He's never seen himself from this angle before.]

There is something to be said for their loyalty then, I suppose. Let me in; I refuse to do this in the hallway.

The All-Spark made us all! We made nothing so despicable, so traitorous--

[Just... jerks away from Shockwave's/his hand. Personal space, you are violating it, and those are falling under a distinct HANDS OFF zone. Plus, he's never seen himself... touch... anyone like that. That's just weird.]

...

[Steps aside. Congrats, he's speechless.]

[Unbidden, a smirk ghosts across his/Ironhide's face as he steps in. While he dislikes people entering his own personal space without leave, he like to violate others, just to see how they react. It doesn't hurt that he's willing to take advantage of Ironhide's speechlessness.]

The Allspark may have created us, but it was the Autobots that caged and studied those with unusual features. They made lab rats of us and we learned to hate it.

Let me see one of my servos, please.

[Notices, and snarls in response.]

We would... never!

... [Still growling, not really capable of coherent speech, he's so very angry... stabs a claw in Shockwave's/his direction]

[He twitches his head out of the way, nabbing his/Ironhide's arm by the gauntlet over his wrist and sets to work... popping wine corks onto the tips of each claw and securing them with duct tape.]

Tell that to Blitzwing, who endured their prodding and experimentation for far too long. Or any of the other Decepticon survivors of the war who did not have the humanoid features common to Autobots.

[Freezes in place, because he can't move without harming his body, and damn if Shockwave didn't figure that out, he bets.]

What! What are--what is this! [Hand flail as he tries to back away and get Shocks OUT of his personal bubble]

I will!

[The flip side is that he's not going to do anything to harm his own body, of course. However, he's temporarily grateful for being in Ironhide's body - he's loathe to admit it, but it's stronger than his.]

Keeping you from doing more damage to your quarters and my body. And potentially the passengers. [If there's anything to be said for him, he works fast; he's finished with the three claws on one hand and nabs for the other, keeping his tone as soothing as possible. Quit your flailing B|] If it is any consolation, I will look ridiculous when I am returned to my body.

And what chance do you think you would have of them listening to an Autobot?

Edited 2009-09-13 05:45 (UTC)

I would never harm an innocent! [struggle, flail, was he always this strong? At least now he knows he can overpower this Shockwave... If things ever go back to normal.] And that is no consolation!

Perhaps I will use your disgusting shell.

Not intentionally, perhaps. [He... oh man, did he just snort? Apparently he's running low on discomfort with this body. He releases him once it's done.]

If you believe you could successfully mimic me - including my loyalty to Lord Megatron.

Never! It is my function to protect them! Not harm them! [all but flings himself away, shuddering like he can get the touchy-feely feeling off him.]

... No. I will not. Hmpf!

Not intentionally. You said yourself that my claws bothered you, and I was concerned that you might accidentally harm someone besides my body with them. The problem has been rectified. [He watches him, posture relaxed but looking vaguely confused. He fixed it, why is there more freak-out?]

I thought as much.

I am capable of controlling myself around the organics! More experience with them than you would be!

[Shudder-twitch, vaguely wanting to find a shower, or whatever the robot version is]

Be silent.

And I have yet to injure any of them.

[Unfortunately, they probably just have to use the showers. Bummer. He's slightly concerned; the last time he saw someone twitching like that, they'd... well, they'd been locked in the Stockade for a hundred stellar cycles and were completely insane.]

"Yet". You have yet to harm them.

[That's fine, he'd like one. His body touched a Decepticon, and he got touched by one... in his... Ew. Ew. He would like booze. A lot of booze. Wait, crap, does this body even have the capacity to drink?]

There would be no point to my intentionally harming one. If it happened, it would likely be due to some altercation with you.

[Most of the Energon for social drinking is back in Shockwave's room. And it does, in fact. He's just failing to mention it because he knows the reserves in his body aren't running empty yet.
Or because he's a jerk. One of those.]

You make it sound as if I am clumsy, Decepticon. If I chose to take you on, only you would walk away damaged.

[Hide believes it's because he's an aft. Who made him look like an idiot.]

Hardly. I simply know what happens when two Cybertronians fight - collateral damage of impressive amounts.

[He doesn't mean to make 'Hide look like an idiot. Mostly.]

Smaller now. Downgraded. I could take you on with little resulting damage... to the surrounding area, anyway.

[This corks are still irritating 8|]

You certainly sound confident about that.

[Well, if Ironhide would rather keep shredding his room... 8|]

[Looks from Shockwave's body to his and back]

I am stronger than you. Heavier. Fewer fragile apparatuses on my exterior. Without weapons...

I am confident.

[It's taken him a while, but he's figured out Ironhide's facial structure enough to manage a poker face. It's not his usual one, but it does well enough. He refuses to let on to what's running through his processor.]

Stronger and heavier. Also slower. Not to mention that you are... broken.

But if you feel the need to challenge me, then you are welcome to locate me when we are returned to our proper bodies.

[His default expression is really ":|". He tilts his head, refusing to let those antennae flick around or whatever they usually do, they're staying still]

You think I have not taken on faster opponents before? While damaged? I am a soldier, Decepticon... Fighting in adverse conditions is in my basic programming.

I might.
