[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.

[neat Hub you got here bro. Knock Out veers off just a bit while taking a look around.]

[Another encouraging detail he'd not realized was...missing until too late. He transforms and is already starting to look more relaxed.]

...Can you imagine our Cybertron looking like this? [Well...minus the organic touches here and there, but YOU KNOW WHAT HE MEANS!]

[Part of it's policy, but the bulk's personality.]

Right now I'm happy to find anyone familiar with the same pop culture stuff I am, but happier in observing there's an overlap between our favourite genres. It's weird, now that I'm living in one---a lot of stuff is weird, which would be why I'm using the word so much---but I do like sci-fi stories.

Hey. What do you think?

[automobileenthusiast]

[Knock Out transforms and immediately focuses on the weird organic touches because SCIENCE NERD.]

No, not at all! Who's been terraforming? Cybertron was never meant to sustain organic life, especially not something as small as a human, and I know I've seen at least one of those around. They'd be crushed by our gravity!

I don't know yet...not for sure...but it's...promising...it...it may actually be him this time.

Oh yes, Earth had a rather charming concept of science fiction. I suppose something like that was to be expected of a race that has yet to even colonize their moon. Though to Earth's credit, they are advancing rather quickly for an organic race.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Some little bug femme thing.

And I don't know how to address the rest of that. There are a lot of organics here, not just humans either...lot of Cybertronians too, but some have some strange designs.

if you want I could try to get a look at him sooner instead of later? a normal aura wouldn't really prove one way or the other since I dont know what the doppleganger would have had but no aura? no aura would be a warning

[mercury_gaze]

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

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

[video]

[knight_light]

Knock Out?

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

[automobileenthusiast]

Bug femme thing.

[He's only repeating it because it sounds funny ok. plus bugs are icky.]

I half really want to know how or why any of this is even possible, but I also half really don't care right now.

Re: [locked | text]

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

Yeah, couldn't hurt. We're heading to my place. You can find us there.

[a_little_red_in_the_face]

I'm sure you can ask one of the Guardians later. They probably have a good idea, since apparently they've been here for some five hundred years or so.

Anyway, what do you want to know?

[Here. Come into his apartment, Knock Out. Sorry for the mess, he smashed the place up about a week ago...it's mostly cleaned up...]

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.

[neverputincharge]

...you...really don't remember bein' here before, do you?

[He's fighting off the disappointment in his voice. He'd been hoping a little that KO had just been being over dramatic.]

Re: [video]

[automobileenthusiast]

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

[video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

Speaking of charming science fiction, this only ever came up 'cause I was surprised to find Breakdown familiar with The Fly and The Thing.

[There's a soft little snort from Sam, but she takes the moon dig with good grace---and makes a mental note to ask Hiro what's happening in space by 2030. It better be good, since flying cars are still not a thing.]

T'save time, not that you need to; we've already got the jokes about lifespans and height out of the way... but credit where credit is due is, of course, appreciated.

[automobileenthusiast]

I've seen Cybertron. Hell, I was with you on Cybertron, and it didn't look anything like this! I've never seen this place before in my life!

[10_20_15_5_50]

ok, I'm coming over

Re: [video]

[mercury_gaze]

Pretty sure. [She gives him a smile.]

Most everyone I've met have been nice.

Re: [video]

[automobileenthusiast]

I made sure that Breakdown was well versed in the classics.

[One would think that by 2015 humans would already have hover boards and self lacing shoes, but hey.]

Re: [video]

[automobileenthusiast]

Well, I suppose not having to worry about randomly exploding is good news.

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.

[video]

[10_20_15_5_50]

You did well; I'd mentioned the directors first, before I'd thought about it, and his reaction kicked off the conversation.

[but hey indeed she's from 2014 and for all anybody knows Hiro's Earth had both by then because it seems to be the fun one]
