-Oh man, breakfast-
-That thing where you eat food and your body disintegrates it to prevent it clogging you up-
I'll be right there.
-He heads down-
Hahah! The sooner we turn these freaks into scrap metal, the better. You know, before you talked me into getting off my ass, I just thought these M.E.C.H. types were a bunch of terrorist maniacs. But now? We're fighting aliens that the government is happy to brush under the table. It was all true, just like my uncle said. That's why I stopped drinking tap water - it's the only explanation for how the public doesn't know about these giant robot fights.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Nope. Wait, was that where that Swedish chick was from? What was her name, Tanya. Talitha? You know, at the bachelor party, the one who lost her wallet.
-Immediate panic-
-His best Cloud-impression yet-
W-well, there's— that's hard to explain.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Oh god, Barrett was so much easier to deal with back when you were just a motorcycle-
-Maybe it's not too late to find an appliance in the kitchen to turn into until this all blows over-
Things are better now. I'm back, and I'm here to stay.
A— y— yeah... yeah...
-Eyes darting around, not quite sure what a good response is to that-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Oh hey, thank god, Commander is back-
-Your buddy clears off, looking quite distressed-
Got word back from HQ. They want you over there. Go directly to these coordinates, and don't let them fall into anyone's hands. It took us months to set up.
-Victory-
-Hey, that wasn't so bad-
-Nimbus probably could have handled that-
...
Look, I, uh, I should probably...

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-No he couldn't have-
-Now to cobble together some transmitter on the fly, preferably offscreen so this doesn't take up another three pages-
Go? Your flakey ass has done enough runnin' off —
He's got work. Let him work.
You're way too soft on him. If it was me I'd —
-Quickly they're distracted with being at each other's throats-
-Slips away-
-This is so much easier back with the Autobots-
-They don't have to worry about jobs or rent or getting girls to like them-
-...-
-Son a bitch, you miss them-
-Transmitter cobbled together-
-Your buddy thinks it's to keep the gubmint from stealing your brainwaves-
-It's not long before Fowler and Bee are able to sneak you back out-
-Utterly painless-
-Yes, you were obviously the best suit for the job, and Nimbus is definitely the best to handle your social affairs-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Back to the Autobot Base-
-Optimus seems pleased-
You've done well Nimbus. We have a chance to cripple M.E.C.H. beyond repair with this intelligence. And as always, you are free to come and go as you wish. We can return you to the crossroad dimension at will.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-One groundbridge later-
-Home and hosed-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Nimbus has decided the best way to avoid social catastrophe is to hide up a tree-
-Good Nimbus, best brother-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Feelsbad-
Look— I— there was—
-Shuts up-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

Mhm, I do.
