@i-remain-unconvinced started following you

Autobot, probably; but Prowl couldn’t tell anything else from the signal beyond that. «You’ve reached the office of the captain of the Cybertronian Security Force. Can I help you?»

You didn't happen to give Wheeljack another bad idea, did you?

What’s he done? I need to know whether I should take credit or not.

i-remain-unconvinced said: … Please do not encourage Wheeljack to follow your example. I do not want to deal with an international pen crisis.

I’m exposing inexcusable gaps in pen related security. 

If that’s not worthy of a statue, I don’t know what is.

i-remain-unconvinced said: He hit several farms and some spots in the wild. It was such a neat, overnight job that the nations are tense and no one can order flowers—But the humans will calm down, though. They always do. Fowler has been stifling protests by dropping supplies.

By the Allspark, that’s hilarious. I thought you meant that he’d raided a few small flower beds, but this...

My night has been made.

a-good-distraction said: I’m famous, Mags is just jealous.

You brilliant mech. Well done!

[highglossfinish]

I don't ask to incite a conflict; Wheeljack is responsible for his own actions. But did you encourage him to steal flowers?

...Don’t tell me. He went and actually did it?

Oh good, Knock Out's form was accepted.  Now he just needs to wait for Ultra Magnus to finish processing it.  He'll wait patiently, he knows bureaucracy takes time.

((So, I've been thinking about Knock Out's tendency to bombard Ultra Magnus (I-remain-unconvinced) with questions and seek attention from him . . . 

Ultra Magnus, despite being an Autobot, has always taken the time to respond to Knock Out's questions and comments.  He doesn't know most of the people in Knock Out's circle (Rainbro is the only one they really have in common), which means Knock Out can talk to him about embarrassing, unDecepticonly things (like being afraid) without worrying what his friends will think of him.  

Ultra Magnus isn't shouty, ever, and he once made Knock Out uncommonly happy by telling him "You've been polite, I suppose."  At the same time he's not too nice, which would simply make Knock Out suspicious.

To Knock Out, Ultra Magnus is like an imaginary friend--safe, comforting, and remote.

And finally, a quote from Bambi:

He loved to ask his mother questions. It was the pleasantest thing for him to ask a question and then to hear what answer his mother would give. Bambi was never surprised that question after question should come into his mind continually and without effort. He found it perfectly natural, and it delighted him very much.

It was very delightful too, to wait expectantly till the answer came. If it turned out the way he wanted, he was satisfied. Sometimes, of course, he did not understand, but that was pleasant also because he was kept busy picturing what he had not understood, in his own way.

So there you have it.  Ultra Magnus is Bambi's mother.))

dangit just from making that tag I'm imagining Ultra Magnus and Smokescreen recharging in a pillow fort and

all the pillows would probably end up falling so they'd be in a pillow mountain

but just the mental image of Ultra Magnus making a pillow fort

looking completely serious while doing so

probably making a pillow fort entirely out of pillow pets
