How can ya be so calm? This is astounding! Unprecedented in my experience. Already there's so much I'm finding out. Like, here, ya see these??
[He disappears and comes back with some hugely oversized iron filings]
These? They hurt! Like slaggin' hurt! And I could crush 'em easily in my regular body. The potential here for discovering human limitations and abilities is... jeez! Makes my head spin.
[He shrugs. It didn't take long to get used to weird around here.]
And I work on this bench, usually. When I'm not small and fleshy. Actually, considering the number of things that have explosively fragmented on it, I suppose the rest of that question is true too.
In all honesty I'd like ta be able to turn it off. Something not easily accomplished it's turning out.
[He huffs a breath into his moustache, then turns to start gathering bits off his desk]
Still, think about it - differences in personality programming were copied to human form along with the rest of our processing. Something amazing right there.
Gah, why didn't I think ah that? There's a girl with 'er head on right. There outta be somthin' up here with flight, or at least hovering capabilities.

What -- may I ask -- is a fragging workbench? Is it a bench that works and frags or no?

Just jump.

[He peeks again, frowning. Okay, fair enough, it wasn't that far. And yet he couldn't get rid of that nagging feeling of vertigo.]
Huh, I appear to be afraid of heights.

[Possibly because Ironhide's self-preservation instinct is low to nonexistent anyway.]
Someone should bring you a ladder.

Whoa, hey, yer a bit bigger like this.
[The drakeling lands and curls around his neck, murmuring to itself in lizardish]
Ack, and yer claws are a bit pointy-er. Anyway, that's not a bad idea... once I can get this body to handle dangling over heights.

They're not bigger, we're just... smaller. I'm sure they appreciate being able to get actual petting, though.
Afraid of heights? Guessing you've never had cause t'climb before now?

Not really. I got thruster jets installed in my arms ...normally... ta handle anythin too big to drive around.
It's a straightforward concept, sure. Easy, in fact. I'm wonderin why there's apprehension towards performing the action.

...Or, like, you could tie a few of those oversized wires together and make a rope.

[To his credit he does grab some wire. Only after that he hefts an oversized screwdriver up and starts prying at some odd device.]
Orrrrr... I could make it so I don't have ta worry about heights at all anymore!
