[The voice on the comm isn't the same as it usually is. The grating tone is gone, it's much smoother, and lacks the formal phrasing. But he still sounds vaguely British]

What's going on... where'd the barracks go? Supposed to be getting my weapons refitted...

Hey! Someone wanna tell me what's up? This some kind of really bad prank? 'Cause if it is...



((ooc: Yeah, Ironhide's memory-regressed, along with age-regressed. As far as he knows, he's still a low-ranked soldier in the Cybertronian Armed Forces, who idolizes his leader... Megatron. Not that it really matters much, but there you go. He's maybe... the robot version of 18 or so, as opposed to his normal OHGODOLDERTHANDIRT 50-ish.))

Whoever's closest. Not like I've got one medic for life. That's just stupid.

[The irony of this statement is completely lost on him.]

Heard this was a leave of absence. Lots of energon and R&R. Messy aft room they gave me though. Dirt everywhere.

... You civilians all think the same about us.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

You must be a lovely mess then. Whoever is closest does not necessarily have the experience to keep your systems in working order.

... And yet your superior officers did not feel the need to inform you?

Only because I have dealt with the likes of you. I do not think the same of all soldiers - Only dense ones.

This mess could take on an entire army and come out on top! With only minor damage! Got the heavy armor upgrade for a reason.

... Eh, they're always lazy anyway.

Yeah, and I've dealt with the likes of you. Buncha self-righteous civilians. Complain and whine until we gotta job to do, and save your afts.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Only fools who cannot keep themselves out of the line of fire opt for that upgrade - If only they had shorted out that ego of yours in the process. It might keep you alive longer.

No, I am quite happy to complain about stupidity while you are protecting us as well. There are intelligent soldiers, and there are hot-headed upstarts who will not function long enough to receive their next upgrade. Do at least try to pretend you are the former.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Shows what you know. Need the heavy armor if you're gonna fire the heavy artillery. I'm gonna be weapons master. I need it.

I'm intelligent. Just not like some dirt-scraping, can't carry a rifle, civilian. Different kind of smart--not that you'd know anything about it.

Glitching old scrap pile.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

The difference being I do not wish to carry a rifle. Violence is not a part of my programming, not that you would know anything about that.

It is only those who cannot create that destroy. I doubt you are good for much else.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Yeah, I know about that. You're a civilian. You hide under your berth when trouble shows up.

... I could create somethin' if I wanted to. Like a rifle.

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

Clearly. That must be where I mend your comrades.

... I believe you have made my point.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Oh yeah. Old timer like you... have to need a huge berth. Lots of room under there.

... You just said "create".

[medicalofficer.livejournal.com]

I would have better luck ramming my helm off a bulkhead than speaking with you. You had best hope you do not require repairs on this vessel, or you will find your vocals de-activated.

[heavyweaponsbot]

You have fun with that. Maybe I'll come watch.

Old scrapheap.
