The lack of toppings is a red flag, but Dennis is willing to let it slide. Cheese pizzas are boring but a classic. Besides the fact it's not worth fighting about; not after how tonight's been. "I'm really done right now because I hate it when people get weird about food. It's such a stupid thing and just-- like-- milk and butter aren't even the same thing!"

Pumpkin pie or apple?

"That is NOT how cops work!"

"Oh, really? Have you ever MET a cop? Because I haven't, and I wanna keep it that way. I'm too young to get pepper sprayed."

It'd been a while since the Combaticons had the chance to combine and let Bruticus take the reins. That antsy feeling started to seep into the gestalt bond not too long ago. In a roundabout way, it was nice to get that feeling; meant that Bruticus actually wanted out.

But they couldn't call on any of their allies or acquaintances to host the Big Guy this time around. Bruticus was in the mood to do some damage. The Soothsayers wouldn't tolerate that behavior near their home, and that possible sparring session with Defensor was still up in the air. Which led them to here, a seemingly remote location for Bruticus to stretch his legs and perhaps tear up the scenery.

Bruticus scowled at the rock formation he'd sliced through with the rotor blades on his arm. Not nearly as satisfying as slicing through an Autobot. Or Decepticon. They were neutral now, so there was no need to be picky. Plenty of mecha on both sides he'd thoroughly enjoy crushing. "Stupid Starscream. Stupid Silverbolt. Stupid Megatron." To punctuate his grumbling, he stomped on the remainder of the rock, grinding it to dust beneath his pede, pretending it was any and all of the aforementioned bots.

... Still not as good as the real thing.

Honestly? Not a bad haul! Between Team Prime slaughtering the masses of Vehicons, and the Decepticons leaving them behind, it was always a bountiful day picking through the battlefield. He'd gotten some pretty good lengths of fuel lines, some top notch fuel pumps, and a few tanks that hadn't copped a blade or blaster fire as their final moments. Odd, that neither side seemed to ensure everyone on the field was offline before leaving. Not that those venting or gurgling in the dirt had much of a fight left at Trepan taking what he needed back to his ship.

Which, helm ducking under the low lip of cave mouth, lenses illuminating the rock around him, he is freezing.

"..."

That was not one of his.

Pede carefully placed inside the new indent in the dirt, comparing the frame of the trespasser to his own, and he doesn't like the difference. He also, didn't like how those tracks went deeper into the cavern where his stolen medic ship was stashed, stopping right at the lowered cargo ramp. Given the one set of tracks? They were still inside.

Well, been a while since he'd charged up the old volt gun...

Energon cube clutched in servos, the little aerial far to used to stashing a few cubes in his ‘room’ so he didn’t wake anyone with his off schedule, and Weaselwing was quietly stepping out into the silo to see if anyone else was up and about this hour.

Mindful of the little humans prone to darting around and … seems he’s got one for company. Cliff’s little adoptee; the red haired one. She was nice, enough. Little loud, very rough and tumble like her muscle car, but at least his little ‘static’ didn’t seem to react around her.

“Morning, Sierra” Weaselwing smiles, keeping his voice low so as not to wake the others, and moving to crouch beside the lounge she was currently quite content on, tilting his helm to view the tiny screen of colours on the ‘television’. Primus, humans needed to discover holovids, and soon. This tech was so …. Old.

“He still recharging?”

[alacritysparked]

If Bee ever does actually try to tell Sierra he Understands About Periods Now, she might actually combust from sheer embarrassment on the spot.

Bad enough Cliffjumper did the same thing ages ago...

If? Fam, that is most certainly a when.

But he may (or may not) do it in a less cringe way than Cliff. Get ready for some incredibly questionable emoji choices on Venmo.

Ah. So, he did hear right. After a moment to process, Cliff groans and scrubs a hand against his faceplates. "Greaaat. I knew the colors looked off when the spacebridge opened..." Why'd this sort of thing always happen to him? And hardly any other member of Team Prime?? Ugh. "Okay! Kid - unless you've already gotten a taste of multiverse nonsense, it's really going to be in your best interest to forget you ever saw me." If there's one thing Cliffjumper has figured out from his various multiversal misadventures, it's that one or two incidents might remain standalones, but once somebody gets regularly exposed to knowledge from other timelines? There's no going back. Far too late for him at this point, but if possible, Cliff would like to gently steer someone else away from the same path of "I wish I didn't know that" and "how the heck am I going to get home" nightmares.

"Uuuh...?"

Blinking stupidly like a deer in headlights, confusion couldn't be anymore clearer on his face. He couldn't quite register what was being said. It's only until realization finally dawns on him that Hot Rod gasps with a resounding 'oooh'.

“Huh. That explains it. And here I was worried he took the Bee comparisons a little too personally.” That gets a relieved chuckle out of him before he places a comforting servo on Cliffjumper’s shoulder.

“Don’t worry Cliffy–I can call you Cliffy, right?–This is hardly my first rodeo, believe it or not! I mean, once we had Megatron from an alternate dimension come to try to take over Cybertron, and… uuh, you know what, it's a long story–but trust me when I say I’m relieved you're not another one of him.”

Yeah he's just going to stop yapping before he makes this anymore confusing.

“The name’s Hot Rod, by the way.”
