Orange and Blue
And here walks a bot, in the orange and blue,
a generic 'con islander with little to do.
Not quite enough legs, but still inspired by spiders,
this bot needs a name and we're the providers.
Let's craft our theories since canon has dropped her,
we'll start with the basis that she too is a 'copter.
A search & rescue disguise came to me first,
a beacon of hope when life's at its worst,
but that doesn't quite track with all that we know
about webs and their habits to not let flies go.
Back to the drawing board, it's time for a think.
what is her role now she's free of the clink?
Her frame could be from a local news station,
eight eyes in the sky spreading disinformation.
I realised too late that this has sadly been done,
by that spidery spindoctor in Transformers One.
The third option, of course, is a detective inspector
drawn to the tough cases, like a bee to nectar.
Picture the crime scene, no bot has a clue:
Stakeout's clocked off; Prowl's gone for a brew,
Streetwise is hungover; Barricade's at the station;
It's been the wrong week to give Strongarm vacation.
Yes picture that crime scene, they need someone new,
and here walks Silkspin, in the orange and blue...
