Recently I have joined a FIRST robotics team hear in Delaware, posablely the best decision i have made ever, where we build robots every year to play in competitions around the country and sometimes around the world. While the robots arnt 'pit-bots', made to tear each other apart as a spectacle, there are no rules agenst violence on the field. Its not uncommon for the robots to lose chains, shatter gears or have other vital components fall out because of physical violence from other competitors.
Now what if the Transformers saw this? Back on Cybertron, there wher sutch competitions, that took place illegally... underground... with innocent turbo-hounds reformated in to frames erily alike those used in the FIRST competition. The Autobots are horrified at the 'barbaric' sport, unknowing that the robots in question have the intelligence of a cockroach and no sense of self awareness. Sari is familiar with the competitions but this does little to pacify her friends. Hear is a sample conversation:
*bell rings to signal the round has ended and the robots repair crews swarm the feald, retreving the bots and bringing them back to there repair stations*
BumbleBee: "Your not going to throw them on the streets are you?"
Human: "No, no, no, of corse not, there going to fix them.
Rachet: *looks incredulously as someone drills a robots wheel back in to place* Those tools are FILTHY, and where is your local anesthetic?
I really just want this to be a cracky story from Animated about cultural differences making everything uncomfortable and your free to take it any way you want it, no porn though, sex jokes are ok though.
