Where... where is this! What's going on! I will not tolerate this nonsense! There is a battle going on--

[Brief moment of stunned silence, and then, a roar that shakes the communications devices of all those listening]

Where... are... my cannons! Who touched them! Show yourself! Or I shall tear this place apart to find you! How dare you lay hands on me and my weapons! When I find you, I will not hesitate to--do not think I cannot destroy you without them! Answer me! Now!

Optimus' orders or no, when I find the responsible party, you will be reduced to your basic components before you can blink!

[Another pause, and then, quieter, but no less agitated]

Hmn. Oh, should... Autobots. Come in! Where are you! I have been taken from the field... What is Prime's status? Respond!

[Commentlog] i'm so sorry this is so late D:

[Bumblebee makes an inquiring sound; a raising lilt as he tilts his head.]

[Commentlog] It's okay D8

[heavyweaponsbot]

Nothing.

[Awkwardly... pats... him.]

[Commentlog]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[...FFT. You are so awkward, Ironhide.]

I'm fine. Lasted longer on Earth without any contact, remember?

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He doesn't do this kindness thing very well.]

You did. But you had your weapon systems. You were normal sized.

[Commentlog]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[Oh, clearly. Bumblebee shrugs, though.]

It could've been much worse. I'm more upset about how hard it is to find anything out here.

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

I am here now. I am sure they would be interested in explaining things to me...

[Makes fists, oh he'd love to pummel some information out of something.]

[Commentlog]

The Captain has weird powers...like the All Spark, but different. Be careful, Ironhide.

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Powers? Like the All Spark?

[Commentlog]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

He's changed things. Changed other people-

...He turned Starscream into a tiny pink version of himself. I have no idea how, although it was great.

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... He is responsible for my--for our downgrade?

[Snorts]

Tiny pink version? Starscream? You are joking.

[Commentlog]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure, and I'm definitely not joking. I'll send you the file.

[Here Bumblebee transmits the video Frenzy made of Starscream's punishment.]

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

...

[There's a lengthy pause while he tries to process this.]

I can't... believe this. And Starscream... remained this way?

[Commentlog]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

I don't know. He's gone, now; he's not in the brig, nowhere on the ship.

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

Hmpf! Good riddance! The last thing we need is a jet flying around...

[Commentlog]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

I'll say. [He's so relieved Starscream disappeared before he could do any more damage. Bumblebee's brave, but he's not stupid; he'd probably have lost.]

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Snorts] I will protect you. You have nothing to fear from Starscream, or any other punkass Decepticon.

[Cocky? Yes. Yes he is.]

[Commentlog]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[Ffff that's sweet but no thank you, SIR. Bumblebee is an independent soldier over here.] Probably better for you to look after Sam and Mikaela, y'know. I can take care of myself.

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Bee's the little brother--got to watch out for him anyway. And give him a friendly head-bonk with a fist.]

Sam is your charge. I will look after Mikaela. You process the boy's flailing better than I do.

[Commentlog]

[soldierbee.livejournal.com]

[PERK! Bee gives a cheeky salute.] Will do; he's in good hands.

[Commentlog]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He smirks. Maybe. It's hard to tell.]

Yeah, I know. He always has been.
