Breakable things? Glass things?

I have another idea… but it could probably get me into a lot of trouble. Deep trouble. So deep. I could die.

Okay, let’s go with your idea. I’m way out of practice at the whole getting into trouble thing.

Daaarrrrkkksteeellll. Let's get into trouble!

Okay. You wanna… Uh… Throw things?

Predacons can’t self-pleasure

Claws, beaks, sharp edges everywhere! How could they play with their valves?

Good thing toys exist!

Oh look at me! I’m a human! We know everything there is to know about masturbating! We invented it!

That’s you. That’s what you sound like.

I understand. It is just that I think the unconcealed offensive action that is important here is the bit where they attacked Starscream (and Ultra Magnus too, to a lesser degree) and for that there can be no forgiveness nor acceptance. There could be re-extinction though. I'd get behind that. Hash Tag "Predaking must die".

The Predacons are not your associates, and thus have no reason to care about your estimation of their virtue.

Have you considered the possibility that Starscream himself may not appreciate this degree of infantilization and attachment? He was a commanding officer in a war, acerbic and overcompensatory, responsible for his own decisions. Not a misunderstood innocent, so weak that he welcomes the defense of human strangers.

Yeah! And you don’t write “Hash Tag.” Even I know that!

Negative reaction from Predacons would be a feature of the dumb-the-predacons project. When everyone compares the useful and compliant new non-sapient Predacons, who can serve the community as useful drones, to the angry bitey snarly ones who attack people we love and care about very much and will never forgive them for it, well, all of a sudden the word "obsolete" springs to mind. Especially with growing numbers of settlement bots which temporarily tips the balance of power against Predaking.

Non-sapience has nothing to do with compliance or utility.

You seem unable to comprehend the idea that avoiding unconcealed actions which are obviously offensive to affiliated parties is part of basic social maintenance, not a consequence particular to the Predacons.

Even I understand that concept, and I am not well-known for an amicable nature.

Making us dumber is supposed to make us less angry and bitey and snarly?

So where are you living these days? 'Cuz I found a derelict star hopper that's mostly right-side-up and i'm think about turning it into a lair.

I’m on a ship with Ratchet. Ratchet and Drift and … possibly some other mechs that I don’t really know as well. Most of the time. Ratchet is a sweet spark. I believe you’ve met.

Allen, I know for a fact that there are. They’re called nanites. That’s how auto-repair and that other stuff works. In fact…

*leans in close*

… You got them too!

*Allen screeched, ducked, and covered helm*

That was supposed to scare you! Now I got the jitters! It feels like I have small scraptlets crawling all over me! AHHH! that’s so gross!!!

Just think of them as little pets.

You don't think self-awareness might have been an error on your part during the creation of the later predacons? Have you tried deliberately creating non-self aware clones just to double check?

That would be a waste of time and resources. Sapience is too complicated a phenomenon to occur due to minor procedural error– while there are not necessarily outward signs capable of guaranteeing its presence, that level of intelligent processing cannot be sustained below a certain quality of hardware.

Rude.

Are you looking to get bit, Greyface?

I don’t think it works like that. Metrotitans don’t like to move around much. They go millions of years without moving? They’re very lazy, but that’s what makes them good places to live.

Huh. Would they even know you’re living on them? What if you had small beings living on you. Would you even know? Maybe we all have small creatures and bots and stuff living on us and we don’t even know. I mean, it makes sense. Humans are small. And their pets are even smaller.

What. If. They’re crawling around on your back and wings right. now. *he boops Darksteel’s armor* They could even be living inside you! O.o

I often visit Bumblebee and he lives on Metroplex. Its kind of a ghost town though. Just him and me. *he scratches at his helm* I guess that’s all I got.

Hey. That’s an idea! I bet he’d love a neighbor!

He probably would. I would if I was him. Its like a ghost town. And its kinda freaky because Metroplex is all alive and stuff. Ever see a city move on its own? Its kinda unnerving. Doesn’t it weird you out the idea of living on something that’s living??

If I wasn’t cuddled up close to Bee the whole time I was staying there, I don’t think I’d be there. I don’t think I’d wanna be there on my own. Its really weird being a Decepticon on a big killer city Autobot. I sometimes feel he still holds a grudge on Decepticons and I feel he’s gonna crush me when I’m not looking, even if Bee says he won’t.

“Probably? I don’t remember.”

There was a warm chuckle from Darksteel as he nuzzled the side of Skywarp’s helm.

“Have I told you you’re prettier than Knock Out? And that you’re an amazing flyer and kiss really good too?” He trailed little squeaky kisses down Skywarp’s jawline.

“Well, duh–I’ve been voted Prettiest Decepticon, y’know.” He choked back a giggle while ducking his helm, face nuzzling against his throat. He nipped playfully at wiring while talons scraped across plating.

“Hey… this your way of askin’ to… y’know, do somethin’ more than makin’ out?” He was trying not to be too blunt about it, but he needed to know what was expected of him.

“Oh yes~”

Darksteel shot him a sly look and leaned in close. He let his warm exvent play over Skywarp’s audials for a few tantalizing kliks and finally whispered.

“I want to take a nap with you.”
