Glory hog, Blitzwing thought to himself. Astrotrain wasn't needed on this mission, but the sentient cargo drone just had to smooth talk his way in just so he could see some action. Typical.
<<All right, then, let's blast!>> Blitzwing took off towards Alaska. Just to make the trip shorter, he replied to thrust's story with one of his best.
<<OK, OK. One time, on Polaris V, Deathasaurus assigned me and a few others to go back up an agent. So we go there, and guess who we find? Sixshot! apparently, Deathy wanted him to have an escort home, but after seeing the destruction he was causing, well, it was too good to resist. So, just for laughs, I took a center for abandoned protoforms, grabbed each little protoforms, smallest first, and popped their tiny spines! Those screams were hilarious! It got so good, even Sixshot had taken a break to watch!
Problem was, ol' Deathy happened to be a bit of a softy for the little ones. So he was furious at me the next day, but he couldn't punish me, since the tyrest accord an' all wasn't broken. But, his little sycophant Inkblot, he tried to do some thing. After evening mess, he came up behind me with a fork. i'd do something about it, but i was, er, overenergized. Anyway, I hear a BANG, and next thing I know, Inkblot's innards are covering the walls! Now I can't prove it, but I think a certain commando had liked my routine. How 'bout you Astrotrain, you got any good stories from your cargo runs?>>
The question was not only an insult, but also a challenge. If that freight drone wanted to get respect, he had better have a good story.
