Somewhere out there, just at the edge of the most delicately tuned sensors' perception, there are signals being traded that Ironhide can't quite read. Some of them are Autobot signals, he's sure of that. Some of them are Decepticon ones, of that he's even more sure. The fact is that he can't read any of them. It's like spending a week with someone

He's going to take some more time shooting before he talks again; his guns've cooled down enough for safety at the moment.
(He won't admit it, but he'll feel a lot better as soon as he can empty them at something worth fighting. It's been too long.)

Good luck getting that one into a museum, though. Only thing Rad can think of that would be able to lift that is a combined-into-its-larger-form gestalt.
