[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.]

We should probably go before Rodimus specifically bans us from touching his precious machine.
Should we invite someone along? I feel like the rodpod should be a shared experience with as many people as possible.

[Somehow Tailgate doesn't think that Sideswipe would appreciate him sitting on Riptide's lap, no matter the reason. He knows the bro code.]
I mean, sure, I don't see why not, but what about inviting a human this time? The rodpod isn't built for humans, but they should be fine if they wear a space suit.

But Niko's a good first choice. He's very sensible.
