Month 2, Week 1, Day 2. Event Horizon. Open to Autbots!
Scrapper casually walks into the wreck room* one fine day, lugging around with him a large red crate, firmly tucked into his right arm. The crate, something he purchased for a fairly reasonable price on Pz'Zazz. As soon as he entered the room and located a couch to plop down on he took the crate, unhinged the opening, flipped it upside down and let the contents drop down to the floor.
The contents in question were small (for a giant robot) multicolored bricks and several other shapes of different sizes and lengths made of a plastic-like substance topped with pegs that allowed them to be stacked on top of eachother and stick together. So yeah, legos(es?). Scrapper eyed the toy with a kind of child-like excitement. And without a moment's hesitation the Constructibot planned to do what he did best. Construct things. So, he had millions of tiny colorful bricks. What to build with 'em.
"Yeah, I tink I got it!" Scrapper exclaimed. "I'll build a...um...huh." Scrapper pauses scratching his the top of his helmet. "Okay, maybe I shoulda thought of what ta build before breakin' dis stuff out...But, uh, I can work sometin' out! I can...huh," Scrapper repeats, rubbing his chin in frustration, staring at the bricks intently.
Time passes. "Arright, arright. So it'll be a steamroller that rotates...nah, don't have enough gears for that. Or battery power...Uh..."
More time passes, with Scrapper having brought in more of his purchases from Pz'Zazz. This time, having brought armfulls of varies junk sold at a bazaar. Because why limit it to just building blocks! "And it'll dispense oil when you pull da yellow chord...waitaminute do I even have a yellow chord?" the Constructibot asks himself as he searches the contents of his junk.
Even more time passes. "...with twenty billion volts...Am I even allowed ta do dat?" Scrapper asks himself, musing through another one of his ideas, as oil cans littered the ground behind him. " ...Maybe I should start small. Build a car or something!" And so he did. Rather quickly. Gave it a miniature engine as well! Scrapper looks rather pleased for a second, before looking at th multitude of junk that still surrounded him just waiting to be made into something awesome.
Scrapper let's out a sigh and chugs another can of oil. "So, maybe if I make some kinda windmill..." Scrapper goes back to musing. He wouldn't mind some assistance or if anyone decided to join in on the connect-a-brick fun right about now.
OOC: * Well, I'm assuming there is a wreckroom somewhere on the ship. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Swoop is lost, because space ships are confusing and labyrinthine. As he's flapping down the hallway as only a giant metallic pterodactyl can, he hears a voice coming from an open room. It's the voice he associates with 'that floozy Snarl ran off with.' He was looking for the biosphere, but his interest is piqued, so he sticks his snout in the door.
And hey, Scrapper is doing things with stuff! The Dinobot tilts his head to one side, knocking the crest on the back against the doorframe, which he gives an accusing look. Freakin' indoors, with its walls and such.
The camera pans away from Swoop as he walks into the room to investigate further, so we don't know whether he does so on all fours or only on his hind legs. He prods at the space legos with his beak, examining what the Constructibot has done with them with a critical eye. He needs hands to do this properly, it seems.
Swoop transforms, sits crosslegged on the floor, and proceeds to build what he will claim is a spaceship via stacking bricks together one atop the other. He's not even using any of the cool fiddly ones. Just the basic rectangles. He is completely engrossed.

A vast predatory bird deeply entranced with building legos. Certainly not the most bizarre thing Scrapper has seen since hbeing pulled from his reality. Though he's also been pulled from a point where he has yet to meet the Dinobots. Almost, though! He has read up about Dinobots in the databanks, howver. And boyoboy would they make great pets! *Cough*, but of course Scrapper doubted any of the Dinobots currently onboard the ship would be so keen on being labeled as "pets". Swoop included. S'not like he'd want an awesome fire breathing robot dinosaur for a pet anyway.
And thus, Scrapper narrowly avoids a burning flail to the face for now. Instead, he stops tinkering a ramp for his car and takes a look at Swoop's....whatever that's supposed to look like. "Uh, hey there," Scrapper says, setting the ramp down. "So, what's dat s'posed ta be? A...a duck? Looks sorta like a duck ta me. With antlers."

Swoop looks up from his rather abstract two-dimensional construction project to give Scrapper a look. "It spaceship," he insists, picking it up in one hand and swooshing it around demonstratively. It promptly breaks in two where a single brick was holding two weighty sections together.
"Look what you do," he grumbles, picking the pieces back up and starting to reassemble them.

"Oh," Scrapper adds blankly, squinting slightly and turning his head as if to try and see if the structure would resemble a spaceship in a different angle. When it falls apart and the Dinobot blames it on him, Scrapper shakes his head.
"What, my fault?" the Constructibot asks. "Ya gotta support da heavy parts wit more than just one little brick," Scrapper explains, attempting building to his own ship as a demonstration...and then some. When he finished, he presented a small space shuttle made of white and black bricks. "See? sticks together pretty well, huh? Give it a go yerself, pal."
Scrapper then placed his ship down in front of the Dinobot as an exam...Dinobots? Hey now! That give's Scrapper an idea...Scrapper then hurries to work, assembling bricks of various shapes and sizes.

Twin Twist is bored. This is a bad thing. How long has it been since he drilled a Decepticon alive and then played in the metal shavings? He doesn't even know. It's been so long since he did a lamp post, too!
There was the time he found himself with a ladder, and he stared up at the ceiling lamp in his room, just waiting for it to make a move.
That would have been so awkward to explain to someone who walked in, and it's not like Twin Twist makes much sense normally, anyway. Having to explain things is a form of torture, for him.
Maybe there will be a Decepticon in the rec room, and then he can kill it and throw the filings around and... oh look, lime green! Twin Twist perks up for a moment. Wait, no. That's just a lime green Autobot. And a Dinobot. He stares blankly at what they're doing with the rocks.

Swoop's left optic shutter twitches slightly when Scrapper builds and presents him with the perfect little color-matching space shuttle. He looks at his own spaceship, haphazardly thrown together with any color and size of brick that came to hand. He frowns, then quickly resumes a neutral expression. Once the Constructibot leaves, he'll smash the space shuttle. Possibly with his flail. There will be little bits of melted plastic everywhere.
For now, he continues to add bits to his own, far superior spaceship. It's colorful. Monochromatic spaceships are dumb. (If Swoop had been here longer, he'd say that only Decepticons turn into space shuttles of any color anyway.) When Twin Twist walks in he looks up and gives a tentative wave.
There are so many people here. Swoop never had any idea there were this many people in the entire world, other than the tiny screaming-and-running-away ones, and they hardly count.

The Constructibot then places a couple stocky humanoid shaped figures atop a skyscraper in a miniature metropolis. He even made a little train that'd go around the track once or twice. "Hmm. S'missin' somethin'..." Scrapper notes.
Maybe he could attack the city could fall under attack! Maybe something...giant or robotic! Or alternatively, something vast, perhaps even predatory! Scrapper glances around the room for inspiration. "Think I'm havin' a breakthrough here..." Scrapper notes, as he studies the brick city. "...Nah, I'm gettin' nuthin'. Time for an oil break!"
As Scrapper goes to grab a can, he turns his head and waves as well once Twin Twist walks in. "Uh, hey!" he adds, contemplating on how he shoulda anticipated company and brought more oil for everyone.
"Ya wanna come join us in, uh, buildin' stuff?" Scrapper asks the Wrecker. "S'fun!"

Twin Twist gives the Dinobot a wave back. Dinobots are pretty cool, as far as Twin Twist is concerned. They break things and don't take any guff and aren't afraid of anything.
He looks blankly at Scrapper's little city, and the offer confuses him. Twin Twist states the obvious, "I break things. I don't build them."
Duh, Wrecker. Demolitionist, in specific.

Swoop holds up his construction, examining it critically. It's missing something. He casts his gaze around the floor, sifting through the plastic bits and bobs with his free hand. Aha! He picks up a little transparent green single stud piece, the sort one might use to represent a light bulb or a tiny laser. He attaches it to the apex of his spaceship and nods in satisfaction. His masterpiece is finished. It is an enduring work of art, the likes of which have never been seen before, and which will never be equaled. Even if he has to smash all the other works of art to make that true.
The pterodactyl sets the finished spaceship carefully in a corner, then picks up Scrapper's space shuttle and holds it over his head in one clenched fist. Looking around furtively and nodding to Twin Twist, he lobs it into the center of the tiny brick city.

At Twin Twist's reply, Scrapper merely shrugs, saying, "Hey, fair enough," before chugging down a can of oil. Looking back towards his creation, Scrapper had noticed Swoop had lifted up and observed the shuttle he'd made. Must be admiring the-what. Wait What is he doing?
"Hey, hey whaddya doin'!" Scrapper exclaims rushing over to his creation as Swoop's rocket smashed into it, creating a bricksplosion. "Aw, there goes Oilopolis." Scrapper says, shaking his head. Like Atlantis before it, Oilopolis had so much to offer the world before being lost. Forever. In the blink of an eye. Scrapper narrows his optics at Swoop's spaceship.
"Ya wanna see breakin stuff?" Scrapper called out to Twin Twist, as he took the remains of the rocket and the city, along with a pair of rubber bands and fashioned a new machine. "I got ya covered!" Scrapper says, unveiling a space-lego catapult! He then pieced several more bricks together into hefty cube and placed it on the catapult, ready to launch.
"Fire one! Badda-boom!" Scrapper says, launching a brick-cube at Swoop and his "ship". Let the childish war games begin.

Twin Twist twitches when Swoop crashes the toy shuttle and when Scrapper brings out the toy catapult. They're playing. Really playing. Not like when Twin Twist will throw around dismembered body parts with his pals. It feels both surreal and unreal to him. Playing. He's not sure he can... he doesn't even know what. Twin Twist decides to correct, "Look, if a shuttle really crashed there from that relative altitude - and I'll be generous and say its fuel tanks were completely empty, you'd have a destruction radius way bigger than that, just from the kinetic bombardment." He makes a circle in the air above the city. "The stuff riiiiight in the middle might be okay, because there's a kind of epicentre effect." Disasters and devastation are kind of thing with Twin Twist.

Swoop's first instinct was to point at Twin Twist and claim that 'him did it,' but Scrapper didn't have his back turned for long enough.
The Dinobot dives to cover his precious spaceship, letting out a stock sound-effect pterodactyl screech. There is just no way anyone should be able to build things as fast as Scrapper put that cube together! It's like it's the Constructibot's superpower or something! He catches the not-lego cube in his outstretched hands, then holds it over his head triumphantly.
Then Twin Twist, ostensibly not too bright, starts getting all technical about epicenters and other stuff way over Swoop's headcrest. So he throws the cube at him. That'll learn 'im to talk fancy.

Ah, nuts. The Dinobot was quick enough to deflect Scrapper's projectile! Before Scrapper decides to retaliate once more, Twin Twist speaks, explaning the science behind wrecking things. There were at least five words in the Wrecker's statement that Scrapper couldn't even pronounce and Scrapper really couldn't see how demolitions could be defined as anything other than: smash stuff.
Seems Swoop didn't take too kindly to the Twin Twist's lesson either as the Dinobot pitches the cube at the Wrecker. Birdbrain's distracted! This could be Scrapper's chance! Loading up the catapult with a miniature tire, Scrapper fired another projectile, this time at Swoop directly.
"Hey, incomin'!" Scrapper calls out jokingly to the probably-not-going-to-be-as-amused Pterodactyl-bot.

Twin Twist is an idiot, but there are two things about him: 1) He knows demolition. 2) He can whip out some surprisingly big words, now and then, when he's motivated. Usually when he's plastered.
Right now, Twin Twist wishes he was plastered.
The cube bounces off of him, and Twin Twist doesn't react to it much. It's not a real threat. He frowns, sits down on the floor, and picks up the cube, grabbing a handful of parts from the table. Twin Twist is slow, being a destroyer, not a creator, and what he's working on looks like a hot mess.
