[Is that Jetfire? And he'd JUST been thinking that it would be nice to have someone big to lug stuff around for him...]

Hey big guy! Where ya been?

A PUN

He's got this whole white knight thing going. Trying to say us Autobots are as much to blame for the war as the Decepticons. [Shakes his head]

Just come move the thing and you'll see how creepy it is.

I noticed XD

Well, in some sense that might be true. We are responsible for its continuation. [Jetfire frowns.] We haven't been able to conclusively defeat them yet, and yes, that is our failing.

Their advances in, well, fringe and unethical science give them an edge we have yet to replicate.

[He sighs.] Fine. I'll help you move your statue, Hot Rod.

[jerkimus_prime]

..... [He's actually silent for a few moments]

....Yeah. You're right. We really need to nail them. Once and for all.

[Grin] I knew you would.

[sciencebuttrfly]

[Well, look at that. Hot Rod is actually thinking. It looks painful.]

We do. Unfortunately we're at a bit of a scientific disadvantage. Ethically. [As in, Jhiaxus had none, Jetfire tried to have...one or two scruples.]

[He sighs.] It's just not worth the time to argue with you, Hot Rod. [Is he calling you obnoxious? Maybe.]

[jerkimus_prime]

What are our advantages? [He doesn't want to hear about disadvantages.]

[Chuckle] It's really not. I don't know why anyone bothers.
