[The video feed opens on Ironhide, looming large... and standing fully upright, in the keep's courtyard.]

[There appears to be a small tree, ripped from the woods themselves, and planted in the ground -- or propped up, it's hard to tell which. Either way, the old Autobot is watching it with an even stare.]

[And without warning, he kicks the tree, savagely, the motion accompanied by a rev of a massive engine. The tree shatters in an explosion of splinters and wood chips.]

[He draws himself up, and snorts.]

Yeah. Hip works all right. This will do.

I give respect where it is due. To whom it is due. A tree has done nothing to earn respect.

And neither have you, at this point. Just some organic shoving their faceplates in where they are not wanted.

Besides help grant the world life. I suppose that's a small thing.

There are more of them. They are not a finite resource.

And someone is bound to make use of its parts. No problem.

[water_and_earth]

Of course they are finite. All life is.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Plenty of trees out there, shooting off more of the same.
