[The feed from the drone clicks on, giving the view of a rather bright yellow colored bot. He's not looking the most impressed, but when he speaks the voice might be familiar to some. Even if the bot attached to it isn't.]

Can't say I ever expected to wake up back on Cybertron. Much less one with Earth like organic growth.

[He woke up in a bunch of craters, but there was still some plants in the vicinity. But this weird floating drone had been rather useful in it's information. As much as it could give anyway. He'll take a moment to glance around him, before looking back the feed and clearing his throat.]

If anyone from my team is here, please report in.

To anyone else getting this transmission. Uh, hi. [Seriously, what else do you say to a bunch of strangers?]

Good.

[HE LOOKS SO RELIEVED]

And how long ago would that be?

[video]

[notoptimus]

[Yeah, he should've trolled. BUT HE'S TRYING TO BE A MATURE ADULT.]

Uh...last I heard you'd headed for [Insert planet name here.] and that was about a cycle ago.

You...don't really keep in touch too much. [He might be a little disappointed.] And usually come and go from Cybertron often.

[daw bee SUCH ADULT]

I've never even heard of that planet.

I... guess I can see it, though. I wouldn't really have a reason to settle down, would I.

[video]

[notoptimus]

[You try dealing with two teenagers, and a dinobot that likes to punch things, on a daily basis.]

Well you will in the future. [So helpful, yup.]

No, guess you don't. It's too bad, I miss the racing.

Re: [video]

[automobileenthusiast]

[PSH future. Knock Out just shrug yeaaaah]

You know, all you have to do is say the word. You know how much I love leaving you in the dust.

[video]

[notoptimus]

[Don't even get him started on Drift who judges everything.]

As tempting as it is....think I'm going to wait until I know more of what's going on. [And get settled and hook up with Jetstorm. He's not a teenager anymore.]

[video]

[automobileenthusiast]

Oh, no rush, of course. I know from experience how much of a pain it can be just trying to get settled in here. That's not to say it's all bad, though.

[video]

[notoptimus]

Really? anything I should know?

[video]

[automobileenthusiast]

Just stay on your toes, hm? Things can get pretty strange around here. Recently we had some sort of ghost infestation and after that things started exploding at complete random. Also, this place seems to have a thing for bringing back the dead. Creepy, right?

[video]

[notoptimus]

Ghost infestations and random explosions. Great, I can tell I'm going to love it here.

Yeah, kind of noticed that when Breakdown responded.

Re: [video]

[automobileenthusiast]

[SHRUG]

It really could be worse. Frankly, I'm sort of okay with being stuck here.

Creepy, isn't it? And don't worry, I'll make sure he behaves himself.

[video]

[notoptimus]

And how long have you been here?

Yeah, do that. Still haven't decided how I feel about him. Considering he's technically still a Decepticon. [Not to mention dead, but it's still weird and creepy.]

Re: [video]

[automobileenthusiast]

Oh, a few months now. Not all that long. Though I have been told that I've been here before and somehow just don't remember it. Not sure how that works, but it is what it is.

Look, he doesn't exactly have a reason to cause trouble. What's the point?

[video]

[notoptimus]

So people can show up here more than once? [He wonders if he's ever been here. If he had, KO would've mentioned it by now if he knew, right?]

One of the main reasons I'm having conflicts. [He's trying Knock Out, but years of being a cop, and then hunting down fugitives is kind of difficult to let go.]

But for now, I'll only keep an eye on him.

Re: [video]

[automobileenthusiast]

Apparently so! I couldn't even begin to tell you how that works.

Feel free. In fact, why don't you come over for a drink some time? We can have a "sorry I tried to kill you several times" party.

[video]

[notoptimus]

Yeah...not sure I want to try and wrap my brain around that one yet. I have enough to think about now.

[That makes him snort.]

Sure, to the party. But no drinks for me.

Re: [video]

[automobileenthusiast]

Oh, don't be such a boyscout. It won't kill you to unwind a little bit, you know. Especially after all this scrap that just dropped in your lap.

[Video]

[notoptimus]

[FROWN. Knock Out, no.]

I'm not a boyscout. I can unwind, I've just never seen the appeal of doing it with drinks. [Is he for real? Yes, he's for real.]

Besides, having a clear head on the job was a good thing.

Re: [Video]

[automobileenthusiast]

[AND Knock out's just laughing. Oooh bee.]

You are just precious, you know that?

[Video]

[notoptimus]

[Oh my god, stop laughing at him. You get his most serious frowny face ever.]

I'm still just myself, only older. [And more serious.]

[Video]

[automobileenthusiast]

[that just makes Knock Out smile HARDER god you're so easy bee]

Okay, just Bumblebee, what do you do to unwind?

[Video]

[notoptimus]

[He just gives a suffering sigh, his expression loosening up.]

Since getting back to earth? Movies, hanging out with the team. Plus visiting the car wash for a massage. [Which he really enjoys.]

[Video]

[automobileenthusiast]

...Okay, that's acceptable. Say what you will about humans, but they really knew how to pamper an automobile.

[he misses car washes ok]

[Video]

[notoptimus]

Still do, even better in bot mode. [Cause wow, some of those brushes can really hit the right spots.]

Uh...only at night when it's closed, of course. [Cause of the whole robots in disguise thing. Then they hand-wavey hack the system or something to make it work.]

[Video]

[automobileenthusiast]

Oh, believe me, I know how that goes. Racing wasn't the only thing I'd sneak off ship to do.
