Well, this is actually the second time I'll be trying this. It all got deleted last time... Oh well. Now, let's see if I can make this work.
Title: Unnamed
Series: Close Drabblings Of The Third Kind (01/??)
Characters: Springer, Elita-One, Perceptor (mentioned)
Summary: Springer knows that the Wreckers tend to attract triple changers. He just wasn't expecting Elita to tell him that it's happened again.
Author's Note: Bunny adopted from the Transformers Bunny Farm. Because that place is addicting awesome.
“What do you mean four??”
“Springer, really. This is not a big deal.”
“Not a big deal. Elita, do you even remember how dangerous the triple changer process is? How unstable it is? There is no way you can tell me that this is not something to worry about!”
“You don’t even know who the fourth changer is yet!”
“I’m not sure I want to.”
“… What? You don’t want to know?”
“All considering, probably not. Undoubtedly something went wrong and you realized that this mech is dangerous, which is why I’m standing here talking to you right now.”
Silence reigned. Elita-One was genuinely baffled. “Okay, I give. What are you going on about now?”
“I doubt that you decided to inform me of the existence of a fourth triple changer simply because you realized I might want to know. Something had to happen to cause you to come to me now. And I really don’t feel like cleaning up.”
Laughter.
“Oh no, it’s nothing like that. Actually, I just thought you might like some background information on that medic you were so impressed with.”
A swift picture of a red mech, standing guard over a downed Whirl’s form, shoulder cannon pointed skywards in a decidingly threatening pose.
“Please don’t tell me you’re saying he’s a triple changer.”
“I’m afraid so.”
“Well… That explains a lot of things. And I thought you said he wasn’t a medic?”
“Oh, he’s not. But so few of us have any sort of medical training… And, quite frankly, he’s good at what he does.”
A breem passes.
“Huh. So… A fourth triple changer. Well, that does explain a lot. So what are his forms?”
“Surely you know at least one of them.”
“Nope. He never saw fit to use either on field.”
“Odd. I would have thought he would have used his tank form, at least. I can understand why he would avoid the microscope form in the middle of the battlefield, but his tank for would have been useful.”
“Maybe I’ll ask him. Once I get over the shock at least.”
“Are you really that surprised?”
“Are you kidding? This isn’t the first encounter we’ve had with Perceptor - kids brilliant, but I never thought he’d be a triple changer.”
