"Of course it's not almost dead! It's an invincible organic monstrosity! It will rage across the planet, raining death and destruction upon all in its path, unstoppable and indestructible, until nothing is left but itself! And then... then it shall turn greedy optics. Or eyes. Or photoreceptors. Whatever. TO SPACE! And no corner of the galaxy shall be safe from its wraaaath."
After a long pause, Mayday gives a quiet 'hem' and returns to watching the movie like nothing odd happened.
During the time it took him to rant it's entirely possible that the hero found a way to defeat the giant tardigrade.

"This is like, some weird sort of validation for you, isn't it?" Breakaway asks, turning to look at Mayday. His expression tries to convey fondness, amusement, and pity all at once, but fails.
On the video screen, the Hero swoops down at the giant water bear, swinging from a conveniently located rope. The creatures opens its mouth to unleash a horrific roar, and the Hero pulls a grenade from his belt, raises it to his mouth, and pulls the pin with his perfect teeth before lobbing it into the monster's open mouth. He snatches the Love Interest from its vile grasp as he swings by and lands on the ground. Both run dramatically toward the camera as the tardigrade swells and explodes, splattering goo everywhere.
Finally, they kiss passionately. "But how?" the Love Interest asks. "Super Grenade," the Hero explains, facing the camera and clenching his chiseled jaw. The screen fades to black, then the credits start rolling.
Breakaway blinks. "What?"

"Obviously it was a Super Grenade," Firebolt says in a matter-of-factly tone. "It couldn't have been a normal grenade or anything."
She flops back and laughs. "That was a good movie. Even better when watched with friends!"

Mayday freezes up, looking shiftily anywhere but at Breakaway. After a pause, he says, "... Noooooo." He is a terrible liar.
By the time he looks back at the movie, it is over. He stares. He lifts a hand to point at the screen. His mouth opens to say something. He closes it. His hand drops. He stares harder.
Then he flings his hands into the air, palms up, and echoes Breakaway. "WHAT."

"It was an entertaining movie. I dunno if I would dignify it by calling it a good movie," the jetformer says, wiping popcorn crumbs from his mouth and redeploying his mask as chuckles at Mayday.
"That can't be the end," Breakaway insists as the credits scroll by. He rises from his seat and presses a button on the movie player to bring up the interface, fast forwarding to the end of the film to make sure there's no little bonus scene after the credits. Then he checks to make sure there aren't any deleted scenes, but of course these old movies never have them.
"They should have had the Air Force come in and bomb it," he opines. He thinks all movies should end this way, including romantic comedies.

"It was so bad it was good! You have to see some of the movies that are like that. They're best watched with friends, like I said," Firebolt insists.

Mayday huffs a little and pouts, crossing his arms. "They only killed it that way because they knew it was invincible and the only realistic ending was that it would destroy them all." He trails off into semi-comprehensible muttering about the unrealistic need for improbable happy endings.
Or it could just be that the movie makers used up all their budget.

"So you can all mock them mercilessly, you mean?" Breakaway asks Firebolt, grinning beneath his mask.
We may never know exactly why the movie ended the way it did. And the three Transformers may never find out that water bears are a real thing. If they ever do, though, it's possible Breakaway will give Mayday a jar of them as a present.
OOC: Heading for a wrap?

"Exactly. You are one hundred percent right!" She points at him to emphasize her point.
Maybe she can bombard Mayday with stuffed teddy bears when they get to earth and call them all water bears. It is a flawless plan, and she can't wait to do it.
ooc: wrapup is good by me!

"You shouldn't mock the idea of unstoppable organic monsters. They're a serious threat!" He really should be saying this jokingly, but he isn't.
If Mayday ever receives water bears, he won't know whether to destroy them as soon as possible, or protect them from any harmful forces that might transform them into horrible indestructible monsters of destruction and death.
OOC: Headin' for a wrap!
