shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

Go for what? I'm literally programmed to look for and point out structural weaknesses, and besides it's Starscream. I'm fairly certain he's already aware of each and every weakness of all his rebuilds.

 

are you talking to me?

-snorts and laughs- Aren´t you just darling.

It was when I was awake, In here, who knows.
He certainly does.

 

What's that supposed to mean? [A seeker has significantly more wingspan to flare than a whatever-the-fuck nonsense flier. Outsiders??? Hassling his commander??? It's more likely than you think]

 

Are you trying to flatter me? You were doing so well too.

-Starscream.exe has stopped.-

 

[Nonsense flier is at least smart enough to recognize an angry warplane; he folds his own wings down a little, even if he doesn't back away.] That he's spent longer than I've been functioning having himself rebuilt every few centuries, either to keep up with the arms race or because Megatron bashed his cockpit in again.

No. But if this is what I think it is, you can't hurt me anyway, and you have no authority over Decepticons anymore either. Is there a reason I shouldn't point out structural flaws in an outdated model?

 

[Nichrome somehow manages not to get distractedby Starscream's presence, which shouldjust about tell you how serious she is suddenly, alook of grim determination on her face]
Alright. I should Introduce myself, I am Nichrome of Iacon, weaponsmith and leading chemist of the Karann-8 station once upon a time. Hello.
[She fidgets a little]
The targeting systems that I suspect were installed in you are really terrible and I apologize, but don't worry, Reffy and I have made a patch ages ago I can fix it if you just let me-
[she gestures at the data-transmission cables she is pulling from her wrist.]

 

-snarls- Is there any particular reason I shouldn´t crush you like an organic?

 

what makes you think im talking to you
is your name john
are you competing for the wackiest weirdo in the west award

 

Terrible? Sure, there's a few bugs, but I've got workarounds, it's fine--

Well for one thing, the Justice Division tends to notice when their assets go missing, if you're even able to effect any sort of lasting harm here.

 

[Ignis spends a few seconds blinking confusedly at "no authority over Decepticons". Starscream gets to the actual threatening first, but is backed up by a particularly grumpy-looking Seeker who doesn't seem deterred by mention of the DJD.]
Watch us, prettywings.

 

No

The Justice Division wants my head on a spike, you jumped up little prop plane. The only reason I am not breaking you down to scrapmetal is that I am not Megatron.

 

Oh no no, it's no trouble at all, I'd hate for someone to suffer due to my sloppy... mistakes...
[She does finally notice that she's practically in the middle between Slipstream and two very pissed off Seekers, one of whom is Starscream.
... She elects to back away from Slipstream a little.]

 

[He. May have gotten in over his head here. Uh. Whoops. Stream backs away a little, wings folding down completely like the weirdest, bulkiest cape.]

[Quick, hide behind the one who might maybe still like him a little.] You know what? T hat patch actually sounds like a great idea! How about we do it now?

 

so what did you want
i mean i get it the striderriere is the choicest booty this side of paradox space everybody wants a piece of it but like im a busy man yo i cant be gossiping with every big dude what starts a convo
the rump can only feed so many people
especially if you ask if im talking about you but have basically no reason to think that

 

[blinkblinkblink.... oh slag.... On the one hand Starscream, on the other hand... isn't she kind of responsible for this guy in the weird organic-parent-way? Ugh. Uuuuuugh.
Smeltig Pits]
Rrrrrriiiiight, uh.
Lord Starscream, sir? Requesting Permission to perform maintenance and upload necessary update patches to this soldier's targeting and environmental analysis scanning systems.
[... Nothing bad can happen if she sticks to protocol, right? She throws in a snappy salute while she's at it.]

 

You know I nearly liked you before. You don´t find someone that stupidly honest often. -he sounds utterly disgusted, turns his back on Slipstream and stalks away-

-Stops- If I say no would you even listen? -sigh- Fine. Maybe you can teach him some manners.

 

I though you were speaking to me. -he sounds icy now, and doesn´t even bother to look at Dave.

 

[Confused blinking at Screamer's back. If being honest wasn't the problem, then what was? It's not like he pointed out any of the specific flaws, or even commented on Starscream's current model...

...maybe now isn't the time to ask, though.]

 

Well! Look at all these robots.

*Laying on his stomach, head in two of his hands while the other two are crossed just under his chest.*

So interesting!

 

I don't think casually blabbing about other people's trauma gets you any friends, dude.
