It's enough to make a 'bot pity the Decepticon... almost.

The eighth panel is my favorite. The expression and the words match each other just right.

Yay Needlenose.

But it does go against the line in his tech specs "Always trys to fit in, even when its impossible." I guess being around this group of Decepticons really sapped his cool spirit.

Dirge certainly is one for cheering up a crowd, isn't he? He seems to be more ruthless & threatening the more I see him these days......I like it!
