uh. this is… a surprisingly considerate request.

generally speaking, physical contact between units is not part of standard vehicon protocol. most interactions involve orders and the only contact we get is being shoved into formation or thrown during a battle. so someone offering pats is… new, but nice.

that said… shoulder or back pats sound acceptable.

head pats might feel a little strange. not offensive, just unfamiliar.

so yes, I suppose you may pat me a bit. shoulder pats preferred.

working on the nemesis is wild because one minute you’re just standing there minding your business and the next minute megatron walks in and gives a whole dramatic speech about destiny and conquest and everyone is nodding like they understand the plan.

you ever get that feeling right before a fight starts where the imaginary music gets intense and one of the autobots starts saying something inspirational and you realize you’re probably about to be the example of what happens when you stand too close to the main character

today’s discovery:

did some research on human stuff and apparently humans made flags for identity

honestly that’s pretty neat.

anyways I looked it up some more and think I’m claiming the nonbinary one. ( B/c he/they)

hello dashboard (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

(My optics have been opened to the wonders of 'emoticons'. It even has cons in the name.)

reappearing after a prolonged absence. repairs took longer than expected

autobot speeches hit different when you’re mid-air 🗣️

someone in comms just said “we are professionals” and the room immediately burst into laughter

Unfortunately the wrong mech was listening in and now we have a “team-building exercise”

Also, do you have a favorite book/movie you like?

Ok, take care. I wish you happiness for you and all your loved ones. And patience for dealing with your bosses stupidity. Seriously, you guys should form a union or something, or at least a free chance to punch Starscream.

No need to apologize, that’s kind of you to ask.

i don’t really have a strong preference, honestly. We weren’t really given designations or originally even had pronouns, just numbers on a board.

But I don’t mind “he” or “they.”

And “Unit-17” is fine for the roster, but… i’ve been trying out just Sev. short for seventeen. it feels a little more— mine, i guess.

as for a favorite book or movie… there’s this human film called Wall-E. it’s quiet, kind of lonely, but it has this gentleness to it. i like that. also, he collects junk and finds meaning in it. very relatable.

and thank you for the kind words. forming a union sounds great, but the last time someone tried, Starscream called it “insubordination by committee.” so for now, we just schedule synchronized coffee breaks and pretend it’s a rebellion.

We've been communing with H.R. and Soundwave though so we shall see ...
