I think I'm lost.

ETA: Definitely lost. Send help.

ETA: Now lost long enough to be both hungry and thirsty

ETA: And lonely. :(

ETA: Found a live goldfish, bowl and all. This can solve 2 of 3 problems

ETA: Lonely again.

ETA: oh NOW I find gummy bears

ETA: 5 part finished packs!!! jeez hiro

ETA: SAVED MYSELF and I even have something to show for it. THIS, Jadewing, is something you should see. Anybody else interested...? Breakdown, I expect.

[Too bad this is text – you missed the chuckle that got out of him.]

Good plan. You should have been a Cassetticon.

[Not really – the animal-based ones are okay, but the bipedals are pains in the aft. Lookin’ at YOU, Rumble and Frenzy.]

seems to me to be the most practical one

[and then, just because]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What's a Cassetticon?

[PING! Have an image file along with some schematics and dimensions. Sam will be able to figure out they're roughly 1.8 to 2 meters tall.]

Their alt-modes are data-storage cassettes. On Earth, they were reformatted to mimic tape cassettes. The bipedal ones are about human height, which for our kind is puny. I can't speak in general, but the four I've known, it's like they made up for their lack of size with sheer attitude and fearlessness. Saw two of them try to take down a Seeker once.

[They kind of succeeded, too - knocked him on his aft for a moment. But then . . . it was Skywarp, so... But being his wingmate, TC's not going to betray his memory by revealing that.]

oh neat! And yeah that's really small compared to what seems to be your standard sizes

and about standards sure you got a small sampling but from those four? I appreciate your 'should've been' statement

Especially if that gameness was common to the other two Cassetticons

I know what I’ve heard. Doesn’t mean it’s definitely true, but it SEEMS to be common.

The other two were Autobots. They were bound to a mech named Blaster.

Heh . . . with your love for music, you two probably would have gotten along. Or their TIC, Jazz.

hey unless something contrary comes up that's good enough for me

hopefully: I like to think I'm easy to get along with

TIC?

Third-in-command.

oh! ok, thanks

Do you mind more questions?

[TEXT]

[notyourblueangel]

No. Go ahead.

Thank you.

So when you say those two Autobot Cassetticons were bound to Blaster, what exactly do you mean by that?

[She can't help but be curious, since these are interesting questions to ask of actual aliens.]
