[VIDEO accidentally on purpose]

[automobileenthusiast]

[Why hello there folks, I hope you like staring at the backs of people's heads because THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING. It takes this little red mech a few seconds to realize that there's SOMETHING hovering behind him. he does this little half turn, lets out a SUPER MANLY (no) yelp and swats the thing out of the air, ending the recording.

But that's not all, folks. The camera blips on and off a few more times, catching Knock Out in various levels of annoyance, usually in the middle of either swearing or trying to shoo the thing away. Oh god little drone why are you here.

Finally Knock Out gives up and seems to have just accepted that he's made a new "friend". He looks exasperated as all hell when the little bugger starts recording him one last time.]

Fine, since this little drone seems hell bent on stalking me and recording it, I figured I might as well try to use this to my advantage. So, where am I and how do I leave? I was kind of in the middle of something.

[Knock Out pauses and glances slightly off camera, presumable at the drone itself.]

There, happy now? I swear, if someone come out here to blow me up because of you, I'm going to be very annoyed.

[He chokes. Not audibly, but still, he chokes. He just gapes a long moment. This can't be right!]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Knock Out!

[For a moment joy over takes him. You, have to be real this time!!]

3/?

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[But....what if he's not real? What if he's nother imposter? Or the imposter returned to life? He's heard that's possible here...]

Okay, done

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

[He has to know for sure, he has to. He keeps his tone level even with hope and anger warring in him.]

What's around you?

MY TURN 1/?????

[automobileenthusiast]

[WELL NOW. considering the last time Knock Out saw this particular chucklefuck, he was kind of running around DEAD with a gross little human parasite living off of his body. And then there was the zombie thing but shhhhhh.

Needless to say, Knock Out's a little thrown off soooooo he's going to take a moment to just stare at you, buddy. WOW THIS IS SUCH A STRANGE DAY SO FAR]

...Breakdown? How can this--

2/??????????????????

[automobileenthusiast]

WAIT!!

[hang on he's GOT THIS]

ALSO DONE

[automobileenthusiast]

Am I dead!? When did that happen!? Is this the after life!?

No, that's preposterous! Maybe I'm hallucinating! Yes, that sounds much more likely! Maybe something hit me in the head really hard and I'm unconscious and hallucinating!

...Can you even hallucinate if you're unconscious!? I should know this, I'M A DOCTOR!

[don't mind him.]

[Sam watches the feed in silence for a few moments, squinting slightly and more frustrated with the shortcomings of all things A/V than she has ever been before.]

Somebody coming out to try and blow you up is... not likely at all.

[video]

[automobileenthusiast]

[oh good HUMANS YES of course why not right]

Oh, goody. I'm feeling so reassured right now.

[video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Progress! Sorry to say it's going to get spoiled, but there's all sorts of weird stuff shakin'. Good news if you're the Knock Out I know of, at least. But, that's a big if.

[neverputincharge]

....Knock Out.

[Wow, he sounds SO happy to see him. Cause neutral voices are good for that.]

[automobileenthusiast]

[OH GOOD IT'S SOMEONE KNOCK OUT KNOWS mostly sorta.]

Bulkhead! Oh, I never thought I'd be so happy to see that impressive chin of yours! What is going on!? Please tell me I'm not going completely out of my mind.

[neverputincharge]

[Yes, isn't that so great to see.]

No, you ain't goin' out of your mind. You're on Cybertron, but it's not the one we know.

[video]

[mercury_gaze]

...I don't think anyone will want to blow you up...

...Your paint is really shiny. [she seems to like that...]

Re: [video]

[automobileenthusiast]

[Knock Out is so shiny right now. And kind of staring stupidly at this tiny organic for a moment.]

Why yes, yes it is. How sure are you that nobody will blow me up? That's kind of important.

Re: [video]

[mercury_gaze]

Pretty sure. [She gives him a smile.]

Most everyone I've met have been nice.

[video]

[knight_light]

Knock Out?

[Color him surprised! He's not seen you since the whole mess with Galos!]

Re: [video]

[automobileenthusiast]

What? Who are you? Why does everyone know me, I've never even seen half of you before!

Re: [video]

[knight_light]

[Well, that's a slap in the face. And one that brings back memories of his own arrival.]

My apologies. My name is Wing, and...there was...a version of you here before I guess you could say.

[Hands up] Which sounds ridiculous, I know, but it's true.

[notyourblueangel]

[Oh, FRAG no, he is NOT going through this again already.]







...no.

[He's going to just shut off the feed, but maybe not manage before Knock Out calls him out on his little "reply"?]

Re: [Video]

[automobileenthusiast]

[YEP KNOCK OUT IS ON TOP OF THIS.]

Oh, thanks, that's a big help!

[IT'S NOT A BIG HELP.]

[Video]

[notyourblueangel]

[HIS SPARK, MECH, YOU'RE GOING TO RIP IT OUT. Oh frag, has Breakdown seen this yet? . . . doesn't matter.]

[He just . . . stares for a long moment. At first, hurt, anger, and grief can be seen . . . but then the mask is in place. No, not a battle mask, the "mask" that helped keep him alive all those eons in the Decepticons' ranks.]

[Hm. That's a place to start.]

Are you still a Decepticon, Knock Out?

[No judgment, he just...needs to know.]

Welcome to the death of privacy. Closing time is never, watch out for the pigs.

Re: [video]

[automobileenthusiast]

[Kid he worked with soundwave he has never known privacy]

...Charming. Why pigs?

[He regrets asking immediately.]

[video]

[diagnosispuberty]

Because they're awful.

[There...is no further explanation offered. Welcome to Haven, the pigs are awful.]
