::Soundwave, sir?:: M8-TE sent, sliding claws together as he tried to battle his nerves. ::would- that is, could ya send more of those songfiles ya showed us when we visited? Tremblebit has been... kinda... nagging,:: he confessed, embarrassed.
::Buddy, you’ve got such a wrong frequency. But sure, I can send you some music, if you like aggrotech. Who is this, is this some weird aft prank?:: Answering the comm, Cleverbot frowned. Was this a joke? As if he didn’t feel inferior enough around Soundwave as it was, now people got them mixed up over the comm, too?
::Well, he can’t really travel across the galaxies to get to them, now can he? He’s needed by lord Megatron’s side, he’s third in command, you know. Duh.:: The spy had so much more important things to do, he was needed on the Nemesis to keep an optic on the Decepticon empire, plan missions, retaliate against the Autobots… He was needed.
::That’s not a lie! Lord Megatron is awesome and the best leader we could wish for!:: The question surprised him, simply because to Cleverbot, it was obvious. ::Uh, they’re soldiers? You know, there can’t really be any fighting without soldiers, yeah?::
M8-TE groaned and hid his face behind his servos.
::Are they just soldiers, if they all look the same? Do any of ‘em ever rise in the ranks?:: M8-TE asked, tired and frustrated and yes, a little bit angry, as he replied. Dropped his servos and slid his claws together. ::A soldier equal to ya normal ones, should be able to rise in ranks an’ change their appearance, so why do they all look the same an’ why don’t any of ‘em ever get promoted? Ain’t that weird when it’s all about equality?::
::I guess they never get promoted because they die in the war, you know? They’re soldiers, they can totally get promoted. They just don’t put in the effort to earn it. And hey, we’re at war, there’s hardly resources to change your looks. I can’t even change my damn paintjob!:: Or get rid of his doorwings. Or those stupid headlights. Yeah, his attempt at scanning an Earth vehicle had gone horribly wrong.
::Once we win the war, everyone will be able to look however the frag they want, you’ll see. No problem there at all.::
