Ground rules
I'm open to anything, as long as it's sfw (gore is accepted), and as long as you ask before taking a major step in something like shipping or hurting, I'm up for it!
This swoop is genderfluid and will swap genders occasionally.
Possibilities for pronouns;
He/him
She/her
They/them
Dino/saur

Oh it's a lovely morning today. Still feels too early to be up though. Hm, perhaps I could recharge for a little longer.
SWOOP GET UP WE’RE MAKIN WAFFLES
Swoop let out a small screech, as dino flapped saur wings in utter surprise. Dino then transformed into saur root mode and looked at Air Raid.
Oh, okay.
Yay!
:D
I'm assuming your brothers didn't want to make waffles with you.
Dino got up and walked over to Air Raid slightly curious.
Why would I make waffles for them? They can make their own waffles.
Oh, alright.
Swoop folded saur hands in front saurself.
C’mon!
[he grab saur hand and pulled saur along]
Dino blushed slightly and followed. Swoop knew he wasn't aware of his behavior, dino knew this meant nothing to him beyond friendliness.

Does he even realize his behavior can be interpreted as flirting?
Hey! Swooper, I’m out of medbay, wanna head off base?
— @air-raid-official
Oh, sure! Don't see why not; though would that be approved of you? I mean, I know we're still waiting for a t-cog for you...
Yea, well… I mean, I don’t wanna be trapped here… I mean, a walk’s not that bad.
I just didn’t wanna go out alone…
Alright, I'll head out with you then. Wouldn't hurt to get fresh air either.
Yay! C’mon!
[he grabs her hand and pulls her along with him]
Swoop felt her faceplate heat up and she quickly followed Air Raid. Immediately trying to contain her blush.
[Air-Raid didn’t seem to notice as he pulled her behind him. He waved to the guard as they left the base and got out into the fresh air]
It’s good to not be locked in there. I’m not a huge fan of metal overhead.
Yeah. It can be a bit claustrophobic.
She kept up with Air Raid, as he pulled her along.
[Slingshot laughed and then looked up towards the sky. His smile fell a little but he tried to hide it.]
You should go flying. I’ll watch.
No no, I don't want to make you feel bad that you can't fly with me.
But… please? Just a bit of normalcy, please? Plus, you fly so nicely. It’d be a shame to keep you grounded on my behalf.
[he walks over to a nearby tree and sits down at the base of it.]
Swoop nodded then leaped and transformed into her pterodactyl form and flew around, swooping down occasionally before flying up again.
[Air-Raid smiled as he watched her. He had always liked flying with her, she was skilled and just as much of a dare-devil as he was. He wished he could be up there with her…]
You’re lookin’ good up there!
Swoop let out a small laugh, and swooped down just in front of Air Raid and then looped around in the air as she flew higher.
[his wings twitched; aching to join her. To soar in the sky, cutting through the clouds and feeling the wind rush across his wings…]
She then landed and looked to Air Raid.
You still doing good?
Yea, I’m…
I’m alive.
Swoop titled her head best she could in her dinosaur mode. Even in this form her concern was easy to read from her. Her wings even adjust occasionally.
Sorry, Swoopy.
Don’t mind me,
I’ll be okay eventually.
I know but still. You love flying and I assume this sucks greatly for you.
She finally transformed back into her root mode and sat on her knees in front of Air Raid.
I mean, yea…
Overall, the situation is fragged to hell and back.
…but that doesn’t make your flying any less pretty.
Swoop briefly looked down; to make sure she didn't have an obvious blue tint to her cheeks before looking back up.
Thank you, but... I'm still just worried, I guess. Even if I know you'll be alright.
[He reached out to sit a hand on her knee]
Thanks, Swoop. You’re a good pal, love having you around me.
I try to be a good friend. I take pride in being one of the friendlier Dinobots.
She smiled softly.
And the cutest, by far.
[he smiled. Wide and stupid]
Swoop let out a small yip and immediately looked away. She made her wings as still as possible, and put one her servos on her cheeks to hide the bright blue hue.
Oh, that compliment wasn't necessary!
Compliments are always necessary if they make mechs smile! ‘Specially if they’ve got a pretty smile like yours!
Oh hush, Air Raid.
She playfully waved her servo dismissively.
[he flops dramatically onto the ground with an arm tossed across his face]
Oh! Foul! You wound me!
Swoop looked and then laughed softly, covering her mouth as she did.
You dork.
But this dork can fly circles around any Decepticon in the sky—
Could…
Could fly circles around…
You still can. Just need a t-cog back.
Swoop gently went to pat Air Raid to comfort him but hesitated then put her servo back into her lap.
Yea… either they find mine, which is probably dissected by now, or I have to sit around and wait for some mech to drop dead.
That’s kinda fucked isn’t it..?
Perhaps... one our scientist could fabricate one? Maybe there's one that's laying around just needs to be found or scrap one that just needs to be repaired.
Percy is doing what he can.
He told me he’d do his best but… but not to get too hopeful.
Oh, that's good. Preceptor is a good scientist. Really good!
Yea… if anyone can do it, it’s him.
But if even he can’t…
…
It’ll be fine!
I'm sure he can! Don't worry about it; I bet you'll get a t-cog sooner than you realize. I mean, there's no way we'll just leave you without one!
Swoop shifted slightly but stayed sitting on her knees with her servos in her lap.
Everybody is looking into these MECH guys, maybe I’ll even get my cog back!
Exactly! You don't have to worry for long, I'm sure.
I know I’ve been saying it a lot, but thanks, Swoop.
[he reached out to hold her hand]
She smiled and curled her hands up just in time so he couldn't. Acting like she wasn't aware of what Air Raid was going to do.
It's okay, I try to be a good friend.
[he watched as she pulled away and gently pulled his own hand back. His wings flicked as if he was thinking, but whatever it was he tried not to let it show]
You’re better than good.
Swoop noticed and tilted her head, but didn't ask. Letting out hum softly and her smile weakened slightly, but immediately corrected.
Thanks.
Heh, yea.
You, uh, you can go back to flying if you want. I’m just here.
Swoop shook her helm.
You seem upset. You can tell me, you know.
It’s nothin major, Swoops! And I’ve already complained to anyone and everyone who would listen so it’s not a big deal…
Please tell me, Air Raid. I'll listen.
[he stared down at the dusty ground and idly drew random patterns in the dirt.]
I… dunno. I guess… if I don’t get my cog back then I’m doomed. What good is a flier that can’t fly? An Aerialbot that doesn’t soar? A combiner that can’t combine?
Swoop nodded slightly, listening. She looked down and wondered something. Not saying anything as her wings shifted slightly.
But it will definitely be fine!
She nodded once more and looked away slightly thinking.
It would be possible to transfer t-cogs.
Don’t.
Don’t go there.
I’d rather be flightless than inflict this on anyone else.
Ah! I said that out loud didn't I?
Swoop sighed softly.
I hate seeing you so... sad about this. I also wouldn't mind not flying for a while. Us Dinobots haven't been needed since the war ended.
Well I would mind it.
So don’t even think about it.
I don’t want to take your flight from you.
Her wings dropped slightly before she corrected them.
Okay, okay I won't.
[he sighed]
Sorry. I just… I don’t want to be felt bad for… I don’t know…
It's okay, Air Raid. I just want you to not feel so down.
[he smiled softly]
I appreciate the thought, Swoop.
She nodded, looked into her lap, and at her hands.
A penny for your thoughts?
It's nothing, don't worry about it.
Please tell me, I’ll listen.
[he smiled as he echoed her words back at her]
Oh it's nothing, I promise. I really do.
You’re not playing fairrrr
[he pouted playfully]
I'm sorry, but it's just... a thing I want to keep to myself right now.
Alright, alright, but I’m always here for you, okay?
Yeah, thank you for your concern.
Hey! Swooper, I’m out of medbay, wanna head off base?

Oh! Foul! You wound me!
Swoop looked and then laughed softly, covering her mouth as she did.
You dork.
But this dork can fly circles around any Decepticon in the sky—
Could…
Could fly circles around…
You still can. Just need a t-cog back.
Swoop gently went to pat Air Raid to comfort him but hesitated then put her servo back into her lap.
Yea… either they find mine, which is probably dissected by now, or I have to sit around and wait for some mech to drop dead.
That’s kinda fucked isn’t it..?
Perhaps... one our scientist could fabricate one? Maybe there's one that's laying around just needs to be found or scrap one that just needs to be repaired.
Percy is doing what he can.
He told me he’d do his best but… but not to get too hopeful.
Oh, that's good. Preceptor is a good scientist. Really good!
Yea… if anyone can do it, it’s him.
But if even he can’t…
…
It’ll be fine!
I'm sure he can! Don't worry about it; I bet you'll get a t-cog sooner than you realize. I mean, there's no way we'll just leave you without one!
Swoop shifted slightly but stayed sitting on her knees with her servos in her lap.
Everybody is looking into these MECH guys, maybe I’ll even get my cog back!
Exactly! You don't have to worry for long, I'm sure.
I know I’ve been saying it a lot, but thanks, Swoop.
[he reached out to hold her hand]
She smiled and curled her hands up just in time so he couldn't. Acting like she wasn't aware of what Air Raid was going to do.
It's okay, I try to be a good friend.
[he watched as she pulled away and gently pulled his own hand back. His wings flicked as if he was thinking, but whatever it was he tried not to let it show]
You’re better than good.
Swoop noticed and tilted her head, but didn't ask. Letting out hum softly and her smile weakened slightly, but immediately corrected.
Thanks.
Heh, yea.
You, uh, you can go back to flying if you want. I’m just here.
Swoop shook her helm.
You seem upset. You can tell me, you know.
It’s nothin major, Swoops! And I’ve already complained to anyone and everyone who would listen so it’s not a big deal…
Please tell me, Air Raid. I'll listen.
[he stared down at the dusty ground and idly drew random patterns in the dirt.]
I… dunno. I guess… if I don’t get my cog back then I’m doomed. What good is a flier that can’t fly? An Aerialbot that doesn’t soar? A combiner that can’t combine?
Swoop nodded slightly, listening. She looked down and wondered something. Not saying anything as her wings shifted slightly.
But it will definitely be fine!
She nodded once more and looked away slightly thinking.
It would be possible to transfer t-cogs.
Don’t.
Don’t go there.
I’d rather be flightless than inflict this on anyone else.
Ah! I said that out loud didn't I?
Swoop sighed softly.
I hate seeing you so... sad about this. I also wouldn't mind not flying for a while. Us Dinobots haven't been needed since the war ended.
Well I would mind it.
So don’t even think about it.
I don’t want to take your flight from you.
Her wings dropped slightly before she corrected them.
Okay, okay I won't.
[he sighed]
Sorry. I just… I don’t want to be felt bad for… I don’t know…
It's okay, Air Raid. I just want you to not feel so down.
[he smiled softly]
I appreciate the thought, Swoop.
She nodded, looked into her lap, and at her hands.
A penny for your thoughts?
It's nothing, don't worry about it.
Hey! Swooper, I’m out of medbay, wanna head off base?
— @air-raid-official
Oh, sure! Don't see why not; though would that be approved of you? I mean, I know we're still waiting for a t-cog for you...
Yea, well… I mean, I don’t wanna be trapped here… I mean, a walk’s not that bad.
I just didn’t wanna go out alone…
Alright, I'll head out with you then. Wouldn't hurt to get fresh air either.
Yay! C’mon!
[he grabs her hand and pulls her along with him]
Swoop felt her faceplate heat up and she quickly followed Air Raid. Immediately trying to contain her blush.
[Air-Raid didn’t seem to notice as he pulled her behind him. He waved to the guard as they left the base and got out into the fresh air]
It’s good to not be locked in there. I’m not a huge fan of metal overhead.
Yeah. It can be a bit claustrophobic.
She kept up with Air Raid, as he pulled her along.
[Slingshot laughed and then looked up towards the sky. His smile fell a little but he tried to hide it.]
You should go flying. I’ll watch.
No no, I don't want to make you feel bad that you can't fly with me.
But… please? Just a bit of normalcy, please? Plus, you fly so nicely. It’d be a shame to keep you grounded on my behalf.
[he walks over to a nearby tree and sits down at the base of it.]
Swoop nodded then leaped and transformed into her pterodactyl form and flew around, swooping down occasionally before flying up again.
[Air-Raid smiled as he watched her. He had always liked flying with her, she was skilled and just as much of a dare-devil as he was. He wished he could be up there with her…]
You’re lookin’ good up there!
Swoop let out a small laugh, and swooped down just in front of Air Raid and then looped around in the air as she flew higher.
[his wings twitched; aching to join her. To soar in the sky, cutting through the clouds and feeling the wind rush across his wings…]
She then landed and looked to Air Raid.
You still doing good?
Yea, I’m…
I’m alive.
Swoop titled her head best she could in her dinosaur mode. Even in this form her concern was easy to read from her. Her wings even adjust occasionally.
Sorry, Swoopy.
Don’t mind me,
I’ll be okay eventually.
I know but still. You love flying and I assume this sucks greatly for you.
She finally transformed back into her root mode and sat on her knees in front of Air Raid.
I mean, yea…
Overall, the situation is fragged to hell and back.
…but that doesn’t make your flying any less pretty.
Swoop briefly looked down; to make sure she didn't have an obvious blue tint to her cheeks before looking back up.
Thank you, but... I'm still just worried, I guess. Even if I know you'll be alright.
[He reached out to sit a hand on her knee]
Thanks, Swoop. You’re a good pal, love having you around me.
I try to be a good friend. I take pride in being one of the friendlier Dinobots.
She smiled softly.
And the cutest, by far.
[he smiled. Wide and stupid]
Swoop let out a small yip and immediately looked away. She made her wings as still as possible, and put one her servos on her cheeks to hide the bright blue hue.
Oh, that compliment wasn't necessary!
Compliments are always necessary if they make mechs smile! ‘Specially if they’ve got a pretty smile like yours!
Oh hush, Air Raid.
She playfully waved her servo dismissively.
[he flops dramatically onto the ground with an arm tossed across his face]
Oh! Foul! You wound me!

Swoop noticed and tilted her head, but didn't ask. Letting out hum softly and her smile weakened slightly, but immediately corrected.
Thanks.
Heh, yea.
You, uh, you can go back to flying if you want. I’m just here.
Swoop shook her helm.
You seem upset. You can tell me, you know.
It’s nothin major, Swoops! And I’ve already complained to anyone and everyone who would listen so it’s not a big deal…
Please tell me, Air Raid. I'll listen.
[he stared down at the dusty ground and idly drew random patterns in the dirt.]
I… dunno. I guess… if I don’t get my cog back then I’m doomed. What good is a flier that can’t fly? An Aerialbot that doesn’t soar? A combiner that can’t combine?
Swoop nodded slightly, listening. She looked down and wondered something. Not saying anything as her wings shifted slightly.
But it will definitely be fine!
She nodded once more and looked away slightly thinking.
It would be possible to transfer t-cogs.
Don’t.
Don’t go there.
I’d rather be flightless than inflict this on anyone else.
Ah! I said that out loud didn't I?
Swoop sighed softly.
I hate seeing you so... sad about this. I also wouldn't mind not flying for a while. Us Dinobots haven't been needed since the war ended.

Hey! Swooper, I’m out of medbay, wanna head off base?
— @air-raid-official
Oh, sure! Don't see why not; though would that be approved of you? I mean, I know we're still waiting for a t-cog for you...
Yea, well… I mean, I don’t wanna be trapped here… I mean, a walk’s not that bad.
I just didn’t wanna go out alone…
Alright, I'll head out with you then. Wouldn't hurt to get fresh air either.
Yay! C’mon!
[he grabs her hand and pulls her along with him]
Swoop felt her faceplate heat up and she quickly followed Air Raid. Immediately trying to contain her blush.
[Air-Raid didn’t seem to notice as he pulled her behind him. He waved to the guard as they left the base and got out into the fresh air]
It’s good to not be locked in there. I’m not a huge fan of metal overhead.
Yeah. It can be a bit claustrophobic.
She kept up with Air Raid, as he pulled her along.
[Slingshot laughed and then looked up towards the sky. His smile fell a little but he tried to hide it.]
You should go flying. I’ll watch.
No no, I don't want to make you feel bad that you can't fly with me.
But… please? Just a bit of normalcy, please? Plus, you fly so nicely. It’d be a shame to keep you grounded on my behalf.
[he walks over to a nearby tree and sits down at the base of it.]
Swoop nodded then leaped and transformed into her pterodactyl form and flew around, swooping down occasionally before flying up again.
[Air-Raid smiled as he watched her. He had always liked flying with her, she was skilled and just as much of a dare-devil as he was. He wished he could be up there with her…]
You’re lookin’ good up there!
Swoop let out a small laugh, and swooped down just in front of Air Raid and then looped around in the air as she flew higher.
[his wings twitched; aching to join her. To soar in the sky, cutting through the clouds and feeling the wind rush across his wings…]
She then landed and looked to Air Raid.
You still doing good?
Yea, I’m…
I’m alive.
Swoop titled her head best she could in her dinosaur mode. Even in this form her concern was easy to read from her. Her wings even adjust occasionally.
Sorry, Swoopy.
Don’t mind me,
I’ll be okay eventually.
I know but still. You love flying and I assume this sucks greatly for you.
She finally transformed back into her root mode and sat on her knees in front of Air Raid.
I mean, yea…
Overall, the situation is fragged to hell and back.
…but that doesn’t make your flying any less pretty.
Swoop briefly looked down; to make sure she didn't have an obvious blue tint to her cheeks before looking back up.
Thank you, but... I'm still just worried, I guess. Even if I know you'll be alright.
[He reached out to sit a hand on her knee]
Thanks, Swoop. You’re a good pal, love having you around me.
I try to be a good friend. I take pride in being one of the friendlier Dinobots.
She smiled softly.
And the cutest, by far.
[he smiled. Wide and stupid]
Swoop let out a small yip and immediately looked away. She made her wings as still as possible, and put one her servos on her cheeks to hide the bright blue hue.
Oh, that compliment wasn't necessary!
Compliments are always necessary if they make mechs smile! ‘Specially if they’ve got a pretty smile like yours!
Oh hush, Air Raid.
She playfully waved her servo dismissively.
[he flops dramatically onto the ground with an arm tossed across his face]
Oh! Foul! You wound me!
Swoop looked and then laughed softly, covering her mouth as she did.
You dork.
But this dork can fly circles around any Decepticon in the sky—
Could…
Could fly circles around…
You still can. Just need a t-cog back.
Swoop gently went to pat Air Raid to comfort him but hesitated then put her servo back into her lap.
Yea… either they find mine, which is probably dissected by now, or I have to sit around and wait for some mech to drop dead.
That’s kinda fucked isn’t it..?
Perhaps... one our scientist could fabricate one? Maybe there's one that's laying around just needs to be found or scrap one that just needs to be repaired.
Percy is doing what he can.
He told me he’d do his best but… but not to get too hopeful.
Oh, that's good. Preceptor is a good scientist. Really good!
Yea… if anyone can do it, it’s him.
But if even he can’t…
…
It’ll be fine!
I'm sure he can! Don't worry about it; I bet you'll get a t-cog sooner than you realize. I mean, there's no way we'll just leave you without one!
Swoop shifted slightly but stayed sitting on her knees with her servos in her lap.
Everybody is looking into these MECH guys, maybe I’ll even get my cog back!
Exactly! You don't have to worry for long, I'm sure.
I know I’ve been saying it a lot, but thanks, Swoop.
[he reached out to hold her hand]
She smiled and curled her hands up just in time so he couldn't. Acting like she wasn't aware of what Air Raid was going to do.
It's okay, I try to be a good friend.
[he watched as she pulled away and gently pulled his own hand back. His wings flicked as if he was thinking, but whatever it was he tried not to let it show]
