If I wanted to make more sparkeaters, I wouldn’t use newsparks to do it

                         ❛It’s survival of the fittest. If someone falls for the whole ‘let’s just touch a strange Cybertronian without a second thought’ thing then they deserve their fate. Aside, don’t get judgy; it isn’t like I personally infected protoforms to create sparkeaters from hapless saps that can’t keep their servos to themselves.❜

                         Unlike the rest of the multiverse, Swindle will happily lock the contaminated sparkling in a quarantine cell via drones, which would be airlocked after. No need in running the chance of accidentally infecting himself. And mindless drones can be replaced with no problem.

Ghosts: Has your muse ever seen something they couldn’t explain?

Swindle has seen a lot of weird in his time in the multiverse. Terrorcon and the living relations. A medic once re-animated his coworker’s head with an energon prod. A couple had a fight over kittens. A seeker used teleportation and got stuck in a vent. And that’s barely scratching the surface, oh the stories he could tell.

Falling: What does your muse think about falling in love or commitment?

He has seen the type of nonsense that commitment brings to a relationship, what love brings, and he’s not really that impressed. He’d much rather have a no-strings-attached type of relationship over the pain and stupidity that comes with committed relationships. Thank you very much.

Snakes: Would your muse ever keep an unusual/exotic pet?

Blood: What’s the worst injury your muse has ever had?

He’s had limbs ripped clear off if that means anything at all. At least twice for an arm and once for a leg. While not gruesome compared to what other mech have gone through, there’s something absolutely unnerving about seeing your own arm or leg across the room from you, the way it feels to have the limb tore from your frame. Swindle doesn’t encourage others to do it.

Mirrors: What is your muse’s least favorite thing about their appearance?

His optics. Swindle hates his optics. They’re huge and often times seen as cute and they make him look ridiculous. It’s hard to come across as a dangerous Decepticon or serious merchant of the less savory side of things when you look like an adorable puppy with huge eyes. The second would be his height, which he is mocked for and often called a minicon about. Who even commission his frame? What were they thinking?

Death: Name one thing your muse has lost that they wish they could get back.

You only say that because Lockdown has a fetish for the law rather than law breakers

We are not practically the same!

:: I’m not going to sleep with it.  I’m quite satisfied with sleeping with Lockdown thank you. ::

He was a little offended Swindle would even suggest Prowl might even think about sleeping with it.  

:: Besides Nitro isn’t my type: Alive.  Turbofoxes as his food I can deal with, they were often hunted anyway so if it’s between a mech spark and turbofox spark I would rather hunt down a turbofox. ::

 :: … It was sturdy furniture. ::

Don’t judge him, he was panicky and was dealing with a missing mate and missing kid, plus dealing with Barricade and his life falling apart at the seams.

:: So what do I feed him then? ::

wait, dumb question it was in the name of what he was.

:: I mean I can’t just feed him a mechs spark.  There are some legal issues I’m bound to run into and I don’t know about you but I dont want to deal with Iacon officials knocking on my door. ::

                ❛Wild Turbofox most likely. I would suggest pet turbofoxes but you are--sorry, were an Autobot. That is probably inhumane. Giving him a mech’s spark would most likely keep him satisfied longer and keep him healthier, but would probably propose a greater risk should he escape.❜

:: Well when I moved into the Death’s Head I had an apartment full of furniture, after Iacon stopped looking Lockdown and the others I used my old furniture as a barricade to ensure nothing was getting in or out of the basement. I didn’t really know what to do about it since I knew Lockdown would have been pissed at me for killing him when he had come back, so I panicked I guess? Plus I had only been living there for like a month and for a lot of that time Lockdown had been on a job.  I had never received instructions on how to care for him. ::

:: yes well, maybe you’re right.  I will talk with Lockdown about getting acquainted with Nitro. ::

Looking at it that way it was smart to have a sparkeater as a guard dog, but with the added addition of Prowls own guard dog Grainger, an actual dog it would be best to get the dog acquainted to Nitro as well.   Grainger didn’t have a spark, so it was likely that Nitro wouldn’t care too much about the dog.

There is a long pause before Prowl starts slowly, worried about his lack of initiative in the 8 months that Lockdown had been missing.

:: I have never fed him and I don’t plan on feeding him. ::

He maybe should learn Nitro’s schedule for feeding and learn not to fear him, since Lockdown wasn’t going to get rid of the beast.

            ❛Ah, Autobots.❜ 

Swindle was trying not to snicker. It didn’t work. Lockdown really knew how to choose his boyfriends, that much Swindle knew.
