"Yeah, specialty attacks. Like I've got my Exhaust Backfire gun. Wedge has his Shoulder Thrusts. My Prime has his Blizzard Storm."
Sideburn starts helping pull junk out of the building, tossing them out in a similar matter to Grimlock. Hey, they can always clean that stuff up once the inside is done! "Me'n my brothers, we're basically Prime's go-to mechs for general combat situations. We do have other specialty groups, though. Like the Spy Changers. They're good if there's a lot of sneaking involved. Or the Build Team or Team Bullet Train get called in if there's a high change of facing off against Ruination."

Long Haul is about to also start hauling things out (ugh. Hauling) when Sideburn lists his specialty attack. "Exhaust... backfire... gun?" The Constructibot has a vague idea that someone cleverer than he could find a joke there, but it's just out of his own reach.
He then joins the others in clearing out the room, although he looks up at Grimlock says, "Hnh. Y'know, you're the first person I met here who had anything bad to say about anyone named 'Optimus.' Most folks're sayin' he was pretty great... I know Slingshot got pretty upset when we had to use him for parts for Jazz."
So Grimlock and Sideburn already know about the dead Optimus they have, right? Oh, wait... they wouldn't...

Grimlock heaves up a big metal tool cabinet, and carries it out before speaking again. "Well. Him have him good points. Protected me Grimlock from Decepticon explosion once. Me...get along with him after that. Just always seem that every time him get Autobots in over head, him have Dinobots called to bail him out" Grimlock explains, still carrying things out of the building, and knocking down a few un-needed things.

Sideburn grunts as he yanks on another tool cabinent, this one bolted to the floor. "My Prime's great. Nah, it's his brother you wanna watch out for. When Ultra Magnus first showed up on Earth, he was tryin' to kill Prime. He's still not nice and hates Prime." Sideburn sighs and shakes his head. "I don't get it at all. I can't imagine my brothers ever getting so mad at me that they'd want to do me serious harm."

"Well, I mean, isn't that kind of a compliment, Grimlock?" Long Haul asks the Dinobot Commander. "'Cos, like, he's saying you guys can handle what he can't? Or issit problems with how he was treating you other times?"
Long Haul just throws a couple more large cabinets out, although by this point the garage is pretty much cleared. He listens to Sideburn, but the name 'Ultra Magnus' means nothing to him. The next words, however, cause his shoulders to slump. "M'gettin' used to the concept, m'self," he says softly. Well, okay, his teammates weren't siblings, exactly, but it's still far too close a comparison to the transport's mind.

Once finished, Grimlock takes up his arms-crossed stance once more. "Prime pay Dinobots no mind until us needed. Him even say we too much for Autobots to handle at one point, and locked us up...until him in over him head again."
Yeah, Grimlock's bitter. Just a little!

"Yikes! I can understand why you wouldn't like your Prime, then." Sideburn reaches up to pat Grimlock's arm, if the Dinobot wants to accept the gesture.

Long Haul winces. "Yeah, that's pretty crummy."
Now he starts to pull out the front of the building back out from the alley where he had placed it. "I figger sections of this are probably our easiest option for table tops," he explains as he draws his pistol from subspace. He doesn't even have to switch it to its weld setting, as that's where it is by default, anyway.
OOC: Unless you guys have conversation you want to keep going, it's probably about time to wrap up this thread. Like Slignshot and Skyblast, they can be shuffled off into post-vote activities.
