I didn't hug you because I felt like it, genius. I did it because you needed it, whether you say you do or not. you act like you can handle everything on your own, well I know from experience you can't. it's ok to let others help you and show that they care, cause believe it or not there are people out there who do actually care about you. take it from someone who knows.

...

I didn't need it. I can handle everything on my own. I have managed handling most everything on my own for longer than you have been online. Why would I need to rely on anyone now?

And I doubt that. Who really gives a flying frag about me? I have yet to see evidence of others caring. I don't see why they would in the first place, regardless.

I don't want to have to rely on others. That would leave me horribly vulnerable, wouldn't it?

Poor Smokescreen, I almost pity you.

Poor? Just stop. What is there to pity? I likely had it coming. Perhaps it's my own fault for being here when I'm not wanted.

[ask-smokescreen]

I clearly must have been mistaken. You Autobots are no-nonsense types.

None at all. I am so serious, it isn't even funny. I am almost as serious as that one human, who do they call him? Deadpool, I believe? Is that the one who seems to be similar to Airachnid?

Who said anything about getting your permission for a study? I am, what? Three times your size? I could simply pick you up and walk off.

Ah, picking up mechs and taking them elsewhere? The term taxi truly suits you.

Hmm. I wonder why other-dimensional alternates take on such radically different paint schemes. Is it because your optic sensors are calibrated differently? Or do you merely find appeal in what we would consider to be 'tasteless'?

That was such a terrible jab at my paint job, I can't even become offended. I would have to ask that of my counterpart. Red and blue? Was he really trying to impersonate his Prime, too?

My optics are functional enough, and I have at least a little bit of taste. I can't say the same for you, taxi.

"I see you're still as grumpy as ever, Shatterscreen"/keeps poking his crest while chuckling, it's always fun to mess with him/

I imagine you would be irritable as well if you were trying to fall into recharge when you're forced into some bizarre universe where all of the autobots are decepticon-like.

Speaking of trying to recharge, I just remembered- I have a human I need to see on that issue.

And stop that.

hey walalalalala i'm here walalalala your insecticon-friend is back from the holidays

Whatever. Good for you, I suppose. What do you want, to watch me play with some toys? I suppose you may do that.

Now, I have this dark energon I need to test out before I use it to bring Prime to the glory he never had. Make him worthy of respect.

/"taste tests" some dark energon, which apparently means downing most of the cube he obtained./

Whoops.
