Skyblast is thinking that he should probably be getting off to work. Space garbage is strange, but it won't collect itself, for the most part.
He mimes tipping a hat he doesn't have, but rustles around his panels so that he looks vaguely like he might have one for the moment, and he excuses, "I'm out," trying to duck off to the exit.
OOC: Out of thread unless stopped.

Dinobot leans down to bring his face closer to Spy Shot 6. "Hn, your main weakness is your small size. A Decepticon could crush you between his claws like a bug. It is . . . a problem I am having to deal with myself since coming here, though admittedly not as much as you." Going from being one of the biggest guys on your team to being one of the many little guys is kind of a bummer. Dinobot still has enough attitude for a whole gestalt, though.
"You won't be able to fit a useful amount of armor on your frame, so you'll have to focus on evasion. What's your standard weapons load-out?" Yes, Dinobot is seriously considering the idea of Spy Shot 6 in combat. No-one is too small to be a badaft, in Dinobot's book. Spy Shot could crawl inside people and kill them from the inside.

Skipping Boondocker and Farlane due to time out.
Spy Shot waves farewell to Skyblast as well, before turning back to listen intently to Dinobot. He nods at the idea that it would likely be easy for someone to crush him if they caught him. He does feel the need to add, "Having small size makes me harder to catch."
He has personal experience with this, trying to catch silverfish and other arthropods back at Sector Seven.
His head tilts at the question of weapons load-out. He taps the lens in his chest. "I shoot light." He considers for a moment, then points at his flash. "Also from here, but that's diffuse, not focused."

“Huh, camera flash as a weapon. You could blind anyone who spots you and run away if you mod it a little.” Farlane suggests. That’s about as far as he’ll go down the combat route and like Spy Shot said; the little fellow was probably really difficult to catch. Might as well get all the factors on his side.
“T’ be honest, I think you’re better off hiding n’ taking pictures seeing as that’s what you’re best at. It’s very useful and it’s something you can do well. If ya wanna put your aft in a bit more danger, there’s hacking, but... Iunno. I wouldn’t rec it unless you have crazy levels of firewalls.” Farlane has crazy levels of firewalls and that’s just for... uh. Protection during extracurricular activities. He can’t imagine the requirements for an actual hacker.
“Direct combat just ain’t gonna be your jig, baby doll. Some people are good at it,” Farlane casts Dinobot a meaningful sideways look. “But I think it’s better t’ be useful and alive than die tryin’ to do something you’re useless at.” They probably wouldn’t have much of a Spy Shot left by the end of it all if that were to happen.

"Being smaller than your enemies can work to your advantage," Dinobot agrees.
"Even if combat isn't his function, he should still learn how to defend himself if worse comes to worst."

"I can already flashy-thing people," Spy Shot says to Farlane. Then he considers the advice of both Transformers carefully. "I do like hiding and taking pictures," he admits. "But I am not sure that those are enough to help protect people. If I am going to be a good Autobot, perhaps I should learn more things."
He looks to Dinobot. "How do I learn combat?" Usually he would just watch people doing something he wants to learn, but he has realized that anything he learns from watching a tall Transformer fighting another tall Transformer is likely not to work well for him, unless he is fighting someone his own size. He has yet to encounter any Transformers his own size outside of Sector Seven. Even the Wheelie from his own universe is still proportionately much larger than he is.

“I have no idea,” Farlane says after a moment of staring at the teeny tiny camera and trying to figure out what he could do. And then inspiration struck and the pink car sits up straight with a bright grin. “Ooh! Well, we could super-glue an obstacle course onto mister adorable over there!” he says, pointing at Dinobot.
“... And then you can beat him up or something,” Farlane shrugs. Hare-brained ideas only go so far, but he did know Dinobot needed to have random bits of metal glued to him. It was very likely going to result in a shishkebabed pink car, but the sight alone would undoubtedly be glorious.

"I would be willing to train you in the arts of war," Dinobot offers. "Though I fail to see how gluing things to me would help," he snarls, shooting Farlane a look.
If Dinobot doesn't train Spy Shot, it'll probably fall to Ultra Magnus, and that guy has enough on his plate as it is.

"I would like that," Spy Shot says to Dinobot. Then he needs to stop and contemplate the usefulness of gluing things to Dinobot. "I do not think Dinobot requires the addition of parts to make a good obstacle course." A pause. "He would look good with some sparkles glued on, though."

"I would not look good with sparkles glued on and I will thank everyone to refrain from gluing anything at all to me!" Dinobot insists vehemently. The last thing he needs is Rattrap overhearing all this and getting ideas.
"At any rate, seek me out when you wish to begin."
OOC: Wrap?

“But you’ll be so... pretty!” Farlane insists. He can just imagine it now: glittery angry raptor! So much glitter! So much angry!
OOC: Wrap okay on this side.

"Everything looks good with sparkles glued on," Spy Shot says. How can anyone not like sparkles? More seriously - though what is more serious than sparkles? - he nods to Dinobot, answering, "I will do so."
Can Dinobot make a warrior out of him?
OOC: LET IT WRAP. XD
