I am the Modern Man

((OOC: Feb 15. Morning. Interaction thread for all robots and otherwise mechanical beings. Closer to the villain's land because they have more robots XD Someone punch Starscream for me.
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto~
That song is now stuck in your head. You're welcome.))


Bender had gone out for the day to releave himself of having to be around all those annoying non-master meat-bags. As he was wondeirng aimlessly, he toted along a decently-sized plasma rifle. The beinding unit knew by then that he would need to be armed in case he met with any on the other team. Other than that, he didn't feel like doing anything at the moment. However, he mind did wonder, while he was terking the place, to think about a certian silly reality program; honestly, Bender was wondering if this place might be a decent place to make moonshine. He paused for a moment, tapping his non-existant chin. Who would be his film crew? Because, after all, when you're making something illegally, the first thing you want is it taped and broadcast on international television.

Speaking of broadcast, the tiny weasal bot in question decided to drop in. Litterally; Broadcast had been riding with his master and fallen off the grey jet. The drone had been transformed into his camera mode and remained as such when he collided with the ground in front of the booze-drinking robot. Bender bent to pick up the camera and looked over it. Not impressed with the primative technology, he tossed it behind his back.

"Meh. I can be my own film crew," He huffed, seriously consitering the idea for the moment.

~*~

Behind him, Broadcast transformed back into his beast mode and skittered off, wondering where his master poofed to. The weasel moved back into the woods and stopped. Red camera eye just stared vacantly, as his head slowly tilted to one side.

~*~

Starscream noticed the absence of his puppet rather quickly. Actually consitering leaving the thing behind for a while, he cricled back around within a moment or two. With energy scarce, he'd be kicking himself later if he let his pet, who could always be sacrificed for power later, get lost. The jet grazed the treetops.

"Where'd that drone get to?" He mummured crossly.

[Mechakara]

Mechakara was walking along the area he paused seeing a camera turn into a robot and leave. He shrugged it off thinking it was one of Insano's inventions not viewing it as a threat. He spotted Bender drinking away and chuckled. The robot certainly loved to drink. He was questioning if he should go another way and let Bender drink in peace or join him.

XXXX

Seven was walking around searching for Mechakara. He'd said he'd come out here but she wasn't sure where he was. She then spotted Starscream and hid behind a tree. She analyzed her data of Ask That Guy's army and realized he wasn't part of their army. She did remember Mechakara mentioning he attacked a robot that attacked their base. Maybe he was working for Critic's side and was coming back to finish the job. She stayed silent watching for not sure if it was friend or foe.

What on God's green Earth was GIR doing? Not even he knew what he was doing. Probably looking for something to worship, like a pig. Or a moose. Or a whatever. It wasn't unlike GIR to be doing things along those lines. The little robot was dressed up in a lime green dog suit. Not exactly a convincing outfit, but if someone was stupid enough they wouldn't see the difference between him and a legitimate dog. His fabric covered legs moved rapidly as he kept running around the area, screaming "Wheee" like a complete idiot. But hey, it's GIR. What did you expect him to do, something useful? After taking several many minutes of flailing his arms around, the defective SIR unit noticed a robot larger than he was. GIR was probably a little less than half his size. The robot felt a need to socialize. And that's exactly what he did. Not noticing Mechakara, he ran on over to Bender to greet him.

"Whatcha doin'?" GIR asked as if they were old friends, putting too much emphasis on the 'ooh' sound in 'doing.'

Unlike the defective SIR unit, Soundwave was not running about willy-nilly like someone who'd been taking an incredibly alarming intake of drugs. Instead, he was far more calm in his nature, trying to rationally take care of his situation. Knowledge of his location was a good place to start. He decided that it would probably be best to figure out where he was first and go from there. Knowing his location was always a good thing. The rather large robot took careful steps, unsure of his exact location. It was obviously a location on Earth habited by homosapiens, however, he knew that much. Considering there were trees and buildings with such short doors, that was obviously the logical conclusion. That's when he heard a voice. A horrifyingly familiar voice. That voice grained on his sound detectors like nails on a chalkboard. He lifted his head upwards to see that oh so familiar shape to see if he were wrong.

"Starscream." It was not a question of bewilderment. It was not an interjection. It was only a statement of the other Decepticon's name. Soundwave had a rather monotone voice, but if he didn't, it would most likely be full of anger. What was Starscream, of all the Decepticons in the universe, doing here?

[DarkHeart]

DarkHeart meanwhile was beside her sister. She was bored, however she did remember Seven wanting to check where Mechakara was. Despite DarkHeart assuring he'd be ok for only a couple of hours, Seven was new to the concept and went anyway so out of instinct of protection. Over a while she and Seven were inseperable. So it was obvious why she followed. She then finally found Seven after a while, her staring into Starscream. Outraged but cautious, DarkHeart sneaked to the same tree Seven was and responded "Seven. It's me. DarkHeart. You see that robot? That's starscream, the one mechakara told you about. Don't trust him for a second"
XXXXX

Rodney meanwhile was going to find mechakara to seek his approval to ask Seven out. The robot didn't know why but he was so entranced by her. He HAD to find her father and confess to a man how he felt. It felt easier that way. Enter Mechakara, walking nearby the annoying drunk robot bender, the one that annoyed his master Insano so much. Ignoring GIR and Bender, Rodney went over to mechakara.

Pretending to not have any emotions, just to keep casual with mechakara, he spoke "Mechakara. Greetings. I was looking for you"

[Deleted]

The bending unit turned his yellow eyes down toward his feet. Okay. What is that? Pixel eyes resting on the little green "dog" for a moment before effectively shrugging it off. He assumed the little booger was no different than all the other ungodly abominations he was forced to work with. Bender wasn't exactly looking for company or nothing, but the appearance of the smaller robot wasn't technically unwanted. In fact, the futustric robot was more indifferent than anything.

"Eh. I was thinkin' about starting a moonshinein' bussiness out here," The silvery robot muttered, not sounding invested at all in explaining himself, "But, eh, too much work."

~*~

Broadcast was still running around aimlessly. The camera-con didn't know what he was supposed to be doing and he was still rather startled from the fall. With a high-def lens for a face, the derpy Decepticon sure had a hard time avoiding things. He ran into some bushes in front of the femme-bots, Seven and Darkheart, and nearly crashed into them before stopped himself. The scraggly thing turned his head to the side as he looked up at the two. A slow click sounded as he zoomed in bewilderedly.

"Scree!" He crowed.

~*~

Starscream decided on a spot to land and pulled down. The seeker transformed into his robot mode and landed more-or-less quietly on his feet. He leaned up and placed a hand on his hip, looking rather impatient. The Decepticon did have a rather uneasy look to him, believing he heard something. Quickly though, he brushed it off as superstitious nonsense; he was the only Transformer there - other than that waste of metal pet of his anyway.

"Idiot," He sneered, "I shall need to build a better model."

[Mechakara]

Seven turned seeing Soundwave and Dark Heart arrive. Soundwave seemed to know the robot but he was too far away to really ask him. If a fight was going to break out she'd want to help out Soundwave but the element of surprise would be more useful. She nodded to Dark Heart.

"My memory files indicated he wasn't a member of our army and I remembered Mechakara said there was a giant robot who attacked here before. I'm glad I followed my instincts. Do you think he's an enemy of Soundwave's? They're both giant robots." whispered Seven.

She wasn't sure if Soundwave or Starscream could hear them but it was better to be safe than sorry. She turned as Broadcast ran right into them as she glanced at it before back at Dark Heart in confusion.

"Is this one of Insano, Smith, or Insuedo's toys? Or did Critic trying to spy on us?" whispered Seven.

XXXXX

Mechakara turned seeing Rodney and smiled. Aside from Bender, Dark Heart, and himself Rodney was one of the first robots to join the army and with them going from Insano as their master to Malachite, Rita, and Facilier he sort of felt a kinship with him in a way. Although he wished there was a way to restore his personality or give him a new one as he heard Insano had rebuilt him. His zombielike attitude he had at times was a bit eerie. He nodded to Rodney.

"Well you found me. Good to see you again Rodney. Everything alright?" said Mechakara.

[DarkHeart]

DarkHeart turned to see Broadcast idiotically screech at them and she couldn't help but look in annoyance to it. Luckily it didn't cause Starscream to stir and to prevent it from bothering them, DarkHeart ignored it for a moment. That was until Seven brought it up again. She patiently responded "Yes. The giant bastard did attack us. We were fortunate that we had weapons" She sneered to Broadcast and responded "Insano never mentioned this being his. Smith never made it and Insuedo was too busy making guns.... I suggest we try to distract the idiotic thing" DarkHeart said the last sentence quietly and cautiously
XXXXX

"Yes. Perfectly fine..." Rodney lied. He sounded monotonely enough so what he said was convincing and calm. However Rodney's calmness shined through with nervousness as he responded "Sir. Your daughter Seven. I wish to let you know how I feel about her"

Before Mechakara could respond, Rodney confessed quietly to him "Your daughter is extremely inteligent. Unsurprising since you and her sister are also inteligent but she has a wonderful personality and I..." He breathed shakily "I really care for her" He scratched his head in slight worry but continued "I wanted to ask her if she would be interested in a date but I felt the need to get your approval first, since she is your daughter. I feel it would be wrong to just go on a date without you even knowing"

[Deleted]

"D'aww, that's too bad. Moonshining sounds fun," the spastic robot responded. Deeming the larger robot worthy of having a cupcake and feeling a bit peckish himself, GIR decided to ask him a question. "Ooh, you want a cupcake? I have some stored in my head!" What a charming way to introduce yourself, talking about how you have food stored inside your head. If he was sane, that would surprise so many people.

"STARSCREAM." The boombox robot had raised the volume in his voice, though it had still been monotonous. How dare that imbecile not pay attention to him! Always chanting about how he was going to take over the Decepticons, constantly attempting beat Megatron, and now he seemed to be shrugging off the existence of the other large robot. If Soundwave were a man, he would have carried an extremely angry expression on his face while watching the jet robot. He stomped his way towards Starscream, hoping he was now noticed by the other robot.

[Deleted]

Bender lifted one hand up slightly when the little lime green thing at his feet suddenly jerked into action. It wasn't like Bender didn't use himself as a storage device - that was nothing new - but the little robot startled him a bit. Something was telling him that he was not going to learn to tolerate that awkwardness. If Gir had offered him booze, it might have been a completely different matter. As is, Bender had no craving for head-cupcakes. Square pupils shifted across the trees, toward Mechakara and Rodney who were nearby, giving them a breif look. The silvery robot let his arm rest again, slightly irritated. He was beinging to feel his territory being invaded - HE was the obnoxious robot.

"Yeah- Nope," He answered gruffly.

~*~

Broadcast tilted his head, giving the girls a good few more seconds to derpish stareing. The weasal jerked into movement, crouching his chest toward the ground and raising his butt into the air. The speaker at on the end of the creature's tail began to wave back-and-fourth. Keeping his eyes fixed on them, the little beast let out a high pitched squeak. He patted the ground with his paws as if he were trying to swish a bug. What was he doing? He didn't know. Maybe if he did stuff, they'd find it charming.

~*~

The red-and-grey Decepticon stiffed for a moment, before rotiating himself around. A slightly gaped mouth was replaced with a conniving smirk. Inwardly though, Starscream felt a bit of panic run up his spine. Out of all Decepticons, why did it have to be someone who was actually loyal to that fool, Megatron? If his silver-plated highness happens to show up, the party's over.

"Soundwave! I thought I smelled body glitter," The seeker jibed.

After giving a paranoid glance behind him, Starscream took a step closer to the blue boombox Decepticon. Vector Sigma, what was he going to do? Might as well choke out more one-liners.

"And here I thought I was alone," The last word came out tensely, as if he were accusing someone.
