Dinobot roars in frustration and pain as Spy Shot's laser cuts into him. His attempts to claw the little robot off are ineffective and he can't transform. His beast mode head becomes his robot mode chest, and as tenaciously as Spy Shot is clinging, that would put his laser right over Dinobot's spark chamber.
So instead, Dinobot lowers his head, and in a move that's less Velociraptor and more Pachycephalosaurus, charges at a tree at a full run. It's going to hurt like the Pit, but it will hopefully crush Spy Shot.

Rendered sluggish by his injuries, there's no time and little purpose for Spy Shot to drop free and avoid being crush. His legs are in ruins. He won't be doing any running until he respawns. So he just directs every scrap of energy in his body into a last pulse of his light beam right before he is smashed to pieces between Dinobot's head and a tree trunk.
For a time, Spy Shot's bodiless claws remain rooted in Dinobot's skin like the head of a tick, then they flicker out of existence as the simulation reforms him at the base of the tree where many of his parts had fallen.
He tried his best, but he still has much to learn.

Dinobot shakes his head as Spy Shot's holographic form is reconstituted. There's a thin wisp of smoke rising from a pinhole that's burned right through his synthetic flesh and into the circuitry underneath. It didn't quite make it through to anything essential, but it came close.
Normally, he'd keep working the cameraformer until they were both too exhausted to continue, but he supposes Spy Shot's fuel tanks must be tiny, and he may as well give him time to reflect on what he's learned. Dinobot mutters to himself. Being around all these Maximals and Autobots must be making him soft.
"End simulation. That was a blow well-struck, Spy Shot 6. You are progressing," he growls, lowering his head to the ground as the jungle flickers out of existence. He fully intends to walk down the hall with Spy Shot 6 on his head. And Primus help him, if anyone says one word about how cute it is, he will end them.

"It was not well-struck enough," he says matter-of-factly, without a trace of disappointed. "If this were real then I would be dead for real, and I would prefer for that not to happen." He wouldn't be able to see new things and protect the needy if he died. "However, I am pleased that I am progressing."
He quickly scrambles up Dinobot's snout and settles on top of his head. He considers the point on Dinobot's head where in-simulation he had burned a hole, then gives it an apologetic pat.

"We will resume lessons another time," Dinobot states, as he heads out into the Event Horizon with his swanky new hat.
OOC: Wrap?
