[Transformers] Once upon a time there was a machine

As it turns out, fishing (?!) is still a lot of fun outdoors.It was not always smooth at the beginning, all the sharks and whales (?!) were caught. Of course, it was not very useful for the Cybertronians who do not eat meat, so they were all released.The water monster bit the hook once, and the two worked together to finally get the water monster up.

Taking a closer look, this water monster seems to be a rather huge giant squid, and it seems to have lived for many years and became mature. It pretended to be powerless to resist, and took advantage of Starscream and Optimus Prime's unpreparedness to drag them to the in the water.Fortunately, PRIME is super strong even in the water. After breaking the two arms and legs of the water monster, the water monster immediately gave up its prey and escaped quickly, so Starscream and PRIME were saved.

"The boat almost capsized, this guy is really big." PRIME sighed, "It's a pity that it got away."

"Run away, just run away, I've got the sample." Starscream replied, "And it's just a type of common animal in Blue Star. This time we scared people enough, and I won't scare people in this water area again. gone."

"But don't catch it, in case it hurts people in other waters..."

"But water doesn't belong to humans, it also belongs to it, doesn't it? Just because it's big, wants to eat and live, and threatens humans, so we have to catch it? Optimus Prime, you only do this because you like humans, right? That's so unfair to it."

"Compared to humans, it is a vulnerable group, and I want to protect humans." PRIME justified.

"You're doing them a disservice. Like Cybertron, the oil bunnies are cute, but fertile and eat a lot of energy; only the vortex foxes can keep their numbers in check. It's this balance that makes Rabbits and foxes live very well in Cybertron. If there were no foxes, rabbits would have consumed dry energy and become a disaster. For foxes, the constant predation of rabbits has honed their survival skills and made them more efficient. They can adapt to the harsh environment. If rabbits and foxes are fed in people's homes, there will be no slaughter, but they are all facing extinction."

PRIME was silent, Starscream shook his long-held notion.Fierce competition allows species to survive. This is the gangster logic that Megatron and Decepticons have always preached. Optimus Prime never believes in these cruel and unreasonable explanations, but from Starscream's point of view, there are still them reason?

"But that's too extreme, I still think so. There must be a better way." Optimus Prime defended again.

Starscream originally wanted to refute, but finally nodded: "Maybe, maybe there is a better way."

"Is that why you joined the Decepticons?"

"Ok?"

"The law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest are the principles that creatures should follow. Is this why you agree with the Decepticons to join them?"

"No, I don't have such noble ideas. I joined the Decepticons only because Lord Megatron chose me."

The heart of PRIME is a bit subtle, how subtle are you asking?The reason why it is called subtle is because you can’t tell why!

"Starscream."

"Ok?"

"You helped me add the condensate just now, didn't you screw the cap on?"

"Uh, I covered it, but it doesn't seem to be screwed..."

"It looks like seawater has gotten into the line."

What?Oops, no, great time! !Starscream's optical mirror lights up, that is to say, this is a legitimate opportunity to learn about the enemy leader's intelligence!There will never be a better opportunity than this!

"Let me check it out for you. I'm a scientist anyway."

Probably because his eyes were too hot, it was obvious that PRIME was more or less suspicious, so he didn't answer immediately.

"If you are worried, you don't need to go offline, just watch me? I just want to help you clean up the seawater in the circuit. You must know that the salt in seawater is very high, and it is a very good conductor. If it enters the circuit board too easily, it will cause a short circuit gone."

Faced with Starscream's sincere and pitiful expression, PRIME still voted firmly, unwilling to let Starscream assist.

"Speaking of sea water, my land unit is more or less waterproof, and at most the condensation pipe is poured with a little water. You are a flight unit, and you will have problems if you don't clean it up quickly."

What a hit!In fact, Starscream's mech leaked a lot, after all, when they fought against the sea monster just now, the sea monster was not gentle with them.But if he cleaned it himself, there would definitely be water on his back or other places that he couldn't reach, and he couldn't let Optimus Prime clean his body. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse!

"How about this, how about we clean up by ourselves and help each other when we need help?" PRIME saw Starscream's hesitation, and finally proposed.

"Okay, okay."

The two looked at the weather, it seemed a bit cloudy.What's more, the sea water in Class A will always wet the floor, so I still have to go in the cabin.Fortunately, this is a warship, and there is really room for them—even though it was originally a warehouse for storing military vehicles and strategic materials.

So the two of them looked at the very large warehouse with thicker class A, and the lighting was not very good no matter how you looked at it.

where to?But I always feel that something is not suitable, but I can't say what is wrong.

The two thought the same way.

"Just clean up the sea water, it shouldn't be a big problem." Optimus Prime said very seriously.

"Ah? Well, okay, okay." Starscream was a little nervous, um, I don't know why I was nervous, I just cleaned up the sea water, cleaned up the sea water!

So the two walked into the warehouse shyly, and looked at the door at the same time.

open?I feel very embarrassed, although at most it is carbon-based passing by, but after all, it needs to be bare metal!closed?It seems that there is still something quite awkward?

"Let's close it."

Starscream finally gritted his teeth, there was no time to be embarrassed, if Optimus Prime realized that his real purpose was to steal information, it would be too late!

Optimus Prime silently walked over to close the door.

Feeling rather awkward.

Zhuzi really wanted to look up to the sky, just to clean up the water, why is the atmosphere so weird!

At this time, the three camera brothers——

"They're in!"

"I wiped it and closed the door!!"

"No way, it's going to be dismantled?"

"It can't be a misunderstanding, how could Optimus Prime and Starscream really—"

"Information officer, intelligence officer! Can you hear me! What's going on inside?"

【Starscream, the mission is in progress.You guys, the mission continues. ] "...Sorry, I shouldn't ask this idiot who hurts all over if he says a word."

"I'll go and listen, maybe it's not what we thought."

"And if so? Report to Lord Megatron?"

"..."

The three camera brothers couldn't imagine what would happen next.

Starscream is a SEEKER.

SEEKER, you know, a kind of aircraft.In addition, most of the tigers are aircraft, and there are very few ground units.

In particular, Optimus Prime is Prime modified by the leader module. Of course, Starscream doesn't understand his body structure at all.

Oh, if he knew, he wouldn't volunteer to ask for help cleaning up the machine. He thought that even if he couldn't steal the data on the PRIME hard drive, it would definitely be useful to know the data and parts of the PRIME machine.

So he stared at Optimus Prime, thinking about how to get information.

Normal people would be embarrassed to be stared at like this, so Optimus Prime naturally said that it doesn't matter to me, you come first.

Well, in order to relax PRIME's vigilance, Starscream knew that he had to sacrifice his ego and let PRIME clean up the sea water for him first.However, judging from what he has learned so far about the character of the red leader, it seems that he can be trusted.So Starscream began to remove the outer armor, so that the seawater poured into it could flow out.

Soon he discovered that there was a little problem.

This armor seems to be different from what he remembered?

Well, it was true that he was forced by the hook and the ambulance to go for a medical examination a while ago, but he was mostly offline during the whole process.So f never thought that his body composition would be slightly different from what he remembered.Most of the places are the same, and there are some minor differences in some small places, but it is this subtle difference that prevents him from taking off the armor on the rear side now.Damn, is it stuck, or is there some other invisible card slot?

"its stuck?"

Optimus Prime saw through his embarrassment and leaned over to examine that part of the armor.

The streamline of SEEKER is quite good, showing the same curvature from the legs to the waist, and the fit is tight, and there is no half gap at all.

PRIME slid his hand along the part with a slight color difference, as if looking for a gap, he was too serious, and didn't realize that this movement was quite problematic.

Starscream almost screamed, but thinking about his mission, and seeing Zhuzi's serious face, he endured it!

Could it be, in a higher place?

Optimus Prime thought, and groped up again.Oh, it's probably here.He gently pried it open, but it still didn't work.

"Well……!"

Starscream is going crazy, did this guy really mean it?Has no one taught him not to touch SEEKER's wings! !

"Sorry, did I hurt you, I will be lighter."

"Don't... don't touch the wings...!"

"But it's too tight elsewhere, and there's a little gap here."

"Tighten tight, there are a lot of circuits on the wings and you will break them, look elsewhere!"

So the big truck with no experience in dismantling SEEKER began to look for other breakthroughs, oh, here, I think it is.Thinking of him groping around the waist, but he didn't seem to find a breakthrough after groping around.

"You... what are you doing!" Starscream was touched so that the CPU was almost on fire.

"Sorry, why don't you change your position?" Maybe it's below or somewhere else you can't see it?

"Stop groping, ask, ask the ambulance, he knows!" Starscream thought he couldn't bear to touch it any longer, so he begged the ambulance to save him in dire straits!

But Optimus Prime didn't think it was a good idea.You know, aren't they here just to let his old friend have a leisurely and pleasant vacation (I don't think this is possible), and he tries not to trouble his old friend if possible.But Starscream reminded him that there is one person who should understand Starscream's body structure.

[Is it a sensor?Can you send me a copy of Starscream's body structure diagram? ] An internal message was sent.

[cough cough cough! !Big, big brother! !What are you doing! ! ] The perceptron, which has always been calm, is rarely calm.

【I'm in a bit of trouble now, I don't know where to start to disassemble his flank. ] There was a long silence.

【sensor? 】

[Brother, haven't you dismantled it before? 】

Optimus Prime was a little embarrassed when he was asked, saying that his airframe maintenance was done for him by ambulance, and he was not very good at it.

【Starscream is a SEEKER. Regarding the structure of the aircraft, I only know where the weak points are when fighting. I don't know where to start when dismantling it. 】【Okay, if it's Big Brother's decision.I will guide you!Don't worry, leave everything to me, and he will definitely be full of praise for the skills of the eldest brother, and it is hard to see that the eldest brother is a novice! 】【……OK, thanks. 】

Although Optimus Prime doesn't understand at all, what's the shame in being a novice in maintenance technology?
