[Fortunately, as Optimus is holding the camera, it doesn't show quite how awkward a position he's stuck in.  The feed is still shaky, as the Autobot seems to be... swaying, somehow.]

Err... Great.

Would anyone be able to lend a servo?  I-

[He would have continued to explain, if the comm device hadn't slipped from his fingers.  It lands face up, giving

[Hopefully Optimus can see this video feed. Because, onscreen is a certain, scarred black face -- scowling up at what he's seeing.]

[The look on his face is clearly wondering just how in the world Optimus has managed this.]

Re: [Video]

[Optimus wished he knew. Even he is not entirely sure how he managed it.

His vantage point doesn't allow him a clear view of the camera, but knowing Ironhide, he has a pretty good idea of what his reaction would be.

Sigh.]

I guess I still haven't gotten used to my flight upgrades...

En route.

[Whether or not Optimus can hear him, the transformation and engine rev should be fairly obvious.]

[Video]

I have a few others coming to get me, Ironhide. I-It's alright...

[Not that he thinks he'll listen, but it's worth a shot.]

[There are no words, just laughter.]

[swordofpeace]

[Perhaps Magnum should not be laughing, as reluctant as he's been to fly in front of Wing.]

[Have a stern look.]

I don't think that's helpful, Magnum.

[Video]

[not_your_gun]

Ah, well, if he needs help to get down, I'm rather certain I'd be shot at for even trying.

...

[If he didn't crash into Optimus in the attempt. Wing's right about how awkward he is in the sky.]

Of course, there's always you.

[Video]

[swordofpeace]

And you think that laughing will somehow improve the situation?

[Nothing like building trust and compassion through laughing at another's misfortune...except not.]

There is always me. Which is why I've offered to help.

[He waits, daring you to try to refuse to let him.]

[rednotyellow]

[Stares, manages to not snort - barely - and coughs.]

Well, I've got a rocket pack, if you're hangin' up in the air an' need someone to be flight-capable to get ya down.

[like_a_bossbot]

[AllSpark, this is embarrassing.]

I'd appreciate the help. Thank you.

[rednotyellow]

[Unfortunately, by now he's grinning, even if he's trying to keep a straight face.]

No problem, really. Just tell me where ya are an' I'll get there.

[Though, he's kind of wondering why you have flight mods you apparently can't fully use... and why you'd want them, in that case. Though he's gotten used to the idea of formerly ground vehicle frames being reformatted into flight-frames from the mirrorverse, he still doesn't understand it.]

I'm in Zone Four.

[He'd send you the coordinates, if he could reach the communicator.]

I appreciate it.

[swordofpeace]

[There are parts of this city that, yes, are difficult to fly in. Not that difficult, Wing thought, but...]

Stay calm. Are your thrusters disengaged?

[Aaaand the Autobot dropped his comm. So much for 'stay calm'. Wing tries a little louder. ]

Location?

[like_a_bossbot]

[Optimus sounds more exasperated than panicked, thankfully. This isn't his first flying mishap. Unfortunately.]

Everything is disengaged. Surprisingly.

[How was it that Sari got the hang of this so quickly?]

I'm in Zone Four.

[Video--> action?]

[swordofpeace]

[Well that's something. And he seems reasonably calm.]

I'll be right there.

Are you injured?

[Wing can't quite tell from the camera angle.]

[Video--> action]

[like_a_bossbot]

No. Not physically anyway.

I'll... erm... be right here.

[video]

[airspacecommand]

Bah. Autobots shouldn't be able to fly.

[The few who did, don't count.]

[video]

[like_a_bossbot]

So I've been told.

[video]

[airspacecommand]

It looks like you're gonna need some flying lessons before you end up really crashing some place bad.

Not that it wouldn't be amusing to see of course.

[video]

[like_a_bossbot]

I just... need a little more practice.

[Of course, he'd said that the last time he'd had a public flying mishap. He just... hadn't had enough practice, apparently.]
