[It's the end of the week. Do you know where your Autobot is?

If you said digging around on Deck 12 looking for more bits of metal, you'd be right. He doesn't particularly need it, without the ammunition to replenish, but the gaping hole in his chest takes more than a little effort for this auto-repair systems. And they do need the extra material.

He's currently got a set of metal sporks in hand, and is fiddling with the lock on a steamer trunk, wondering if he can get it off.]

Except that your engine is louder than Prime's, and you chose a truck larger than some tanks. It is a civilian vehicle, and certain not suited for military use.

[He leans into the shove, taking the metal.]

Do you plan to create a new stockpile in our quarters? Perhaps if we found enough scrap, you could create even a small scale weapon...

[heavyweaponsbot]

There were no other vehicles in the area that fit me. What was I supposed to do? Take the van? [Snort.] And if I am larger than tanks, maybe I am a military-issue truck. Hmn?

[He shrugs, watching him to see that he makes good use of the metals.]

Been thinking about charging some energon. Little bit, not enough to cause great damage...

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

It might have better disguised your cannons. Along with your shoulders, you barely fit that form... [chuckle]

[He did nothing with the scraps for a moment, more distracted by thoughts of how they could make proper use of them.

True, he could ingest them to attempt to bolster his internal heating systems. But even at his 'top' condition on this vessel, that was barely enough to melt wiring, let alone weld armor like what Ironhide possessed.

But if the Weapons Master could put them to better use and possibly get them off this ship...]

I would not suggest it, unless you can be sure that no crew member would learn the source of the explosive.

If they discover the dangerous potential of energon, they may restrict access to it - not only as a weapon, but sustenance as well.

[He draws his shoulders in closer, frowning, as if to make them look less ridiculously broad than they are.]

I fit my form just fine. Hmnf.

[His good optic narrows slightly, when the proffered scraps just sit there, and nudges his friend.]

They would not. You can make a napalm substitute from common ingredients, and yet we are not restricted with those.
