[riptide is standing in front of a new addition to the cargo bay. those that know rodimus may recognise the general design of the craft.

judging by riptide's expression and his slow rubbing of his temple with one hand, he's got a headache. his optical ridges are drawn together so closely he might as well be trying to merge them into one. he sighs heavily.]

I just...

[shaking his head, the hand rubbing his temple draws down, over his face.]

The Leading Light is like right next to this thing, the Ingress couldn't have hit a few feet to the left?

[again, he exhales slowly.]

Well. We have a craft now, I guess. I know how to maintain this thing, by the way, so if anyone tries to very understandably pull it apart, just know that I will notice.

[there's a difference between cybertronians being around and actual cybertronian tech lying out in the open, after all.]

[ 8D 8D Rodimus is just hands pressed to cheeks overjoyed ]

The Rodpod!

[knaval]

Hooraay...

[he sounds so enthused.]

[heroicpose]

[ He's actually enthused. ]

I will fight anyone who tries to take it apart.

[knaval]

I mean, I didn't say that just because I hate looking at it and I hate that I know how to fly it. I'm just saying, I don't trust every crew member to just leave Cybertronian tech lying around without trying to take it, y'know?

[hooray for space racism!]

[redshitlord]

Okay but.

Why does it look like a fat version of you?

[t65]

What... is it?

[knaval]

A ship. A really stupid ship.

[t65]

[Oh, good, it's time to judge ships. Luke is always down for that.] It must have so much drag in atmosphere... What was it built for?

[redshitlord]

And if you can't get it started, you know who to ask.

[You can just HEAR the finger guns.]

What is it, anyway?

Re: audio;

[knaval]

Pfft. Oh yeah, you're the first. I'll take you out on a joyride sometime, yeah?

It's the Rodpod. For the Rod Squad.

audio;

[redshitlord]

Really? That'd be awesome!

... what's a rod squad?

[daintylegs]

I don't even know how I feel about this.

Delighted? Horrified?

Delighified?

Horrilighted?

[knaval]

Horrified squared.

[...]

So anyway when do you want to take this thing out?

[daintylegs]

As soon as possible.

Also you should teach me how to fly it.

[aminerproblem]

I wonder if we can return it through the Ingress.

[He would love to obliterate it to make room for a more respectable ship like the Leading Light. He really would.]

Vid

[heroicpose]

I will fight you.

Re: Vid

[aminerproblem]

Will you now?

[Dont be ridiculous, Rodimus. Rodiculous.]

Re: Vid

[knaval]

I was going to ask Tailgate to pick it up and throw it in. See what happens.

[ps go to hell]

[daintylegs]

Aw, but I like it.

And by "like" I mean I've grown used to it existing.

We should definitely keep the Rodpod.

Especially since we're all the Rod Squad.

[peridork]

Why aren't we allowed to pull it apart, exactly?


[Because she wants to. Not out of animosity, just. Curiosity.]

Re: text

[knaval]

[peridork]

It doesn't look particularly agile. Where would you take it?

[decepticonpeacemaker]

... Somehow, the fact that Rodimus has a ship in his own likeness is unsurprising.

[Sweet Primus that is a hideous ship.]

Re: video

[knaval]

I mean, technically the Decepticon symbol looks like your face, right? Those ships in the 'con symbol shape are like... Soundwavepods.

[decepticonpeacemaker]

[He is linefacing so hard right now Riptide.]

Megatron created the symbol of the Decepticons before we met, so any similarity is coincidence.
