"Why me Swoop wrong Dinobot? Who right Swoop, then? Where me find him? If we all wrong Dinobots, where right Dinobots?!" the pteranodon insists, growing steadily more agitated. He flails his arms around for a minute, letting out a series of inarticulate indignant squawks, then finally plops down on the floor to squat next to Bambi.
"It always this confusing here?"

"Right Dinobots back home," Bambi grunts. Her voice gentles a bit, and she explains, "No. Sometimes it worse."
Huh. Wrong Grimlock and wrong Swoop are actually pretty cool dudes. Good to know!

Grimlock grunts, then steps out into the hall. With a loud thump, he sits with the others.
"We all wrong Dinobots, but we stuck together in weird place. Me Grimlock say we make do." Because Grimlock is quite frankly tired of being without other Dinobots. They're not -his- Dinobots, but they're better than no Dinobots at all.

"Me Swoop right Dinobot," Swoop insists. "But me forget about you Grimlock and you Bambi being wrong Dinobots."
He gives Bambi a forlorn look. How could it possibly get more confusing than this?

So all the wrong Dinobots are sitting right in the hall.
Bambi dares someone to trip over them.
She tilts her head and asks Grimlock, "So if we Dinobots make do, what us do?"
C'mon, Grimlock. Be the leader Dinobot. What will the Dinobots do today?

"Me Grimlock mean we all wrong Dinobots to other Dinobots." He pauses. "Or something. Not point."
Then Bambi asks what they'll do. Hmm. "Me Grimlock say we have options. We bug Kup for stories, or see what Perceptor doing, or ...well, what you guys do with your Dinobots when bored?"

"Smash stuff," Swoop replies promptly. When living like a wild animal gets boring, rampaging around the island alleviates it. "Us Dinobots go swimming once. Him Kup grouchy car robot. Who him Perceptor?"
The pterodactyl gives Bambi another sidelong look. So apparently she and Grimlock aren't a matched set? "What Dinobots you Bambi know?"

"Me Bambi explore cursed temples," she opines. It's hard to be bored when giant boulders are chasing after her.
"Uh... me Bambi see tyrannosaurus one, pteranodon one, and triceratops one." Great. That is terribly descriptive, Bambi. This is why eye-witnesses are the worst.
"Anyway, him Perceptor me Bambi's boss. Me Bambi need ambush him Perceptor and claim territory in laboratory."

"Me Grimlock say smashing stuff fun, but it get us in trouble here because we need spaceship to go places. But they have room that make fake places where we can smash stuff, but me Grimlock not sure how it works." Because setting Dinobots loose in the holodeck to let out their frustrations is a wonderful idea.
"Perceptor smart Autobot! Him nice to me Grimlock. Kup and Rodimus nice, too."
Grimlock turns his head to Bambi with a headtilt. "Lab territory?"

Bambi's description is only really helpful if she's comparing the original three G1 Dinobots with the Animated ones. The presence of a triceratops instead of a brontosaurus apatosaurus would be a dead giveaway.
"Him T. Rex have mouth like this?" Swoop asks, sticking out his lower jaw to approximate Grimlock's underbite. Privately, he's always thought it looked a bit silly.
The pteranodon has no idea what's going on with multiple realities and time travel, but he's on firmer ground with territory and ambushes. "You ambush him Perceptor, kick him out of lab, then you Bambi be boss?"

"Yeah, him look like that!" Bambi agrees readily, bouncing where she sits. Then she frowns. "Hmm... no, me Bambi not want take over. Maybe just jump on him Perceptor's head until me Bambi get workbench of own. Him Mayday no like it when me Bambi do work in room."

Grimlock crosses his arms, thinking.
One can almost hear the gears grinding and creaking at this rare occurrence.
"Me think it not hard for you to get space. Perceptor good to Dinobots, treat us like equals. Not shove us in closet."

Hey, Bambi recognizes the underbite! "Um . . . them Dinobots live on island? Why you Bambi not want to be boss? If you Bambi can beat up him Perceptor, then you Bambi boss of him Perceptor." QED.
"No ambush?" Swoop asks finally, somewhere between hopeful and crestfallen. He likes to play to his strengths.
"Who him Mayday?" he inquires after a short pause, picking up on another tidbit of information. There are entirely too many people here.

"Ugh, if me Bambi boss, me have manage people and make sure they do they work, and then, me no have time for science because me Bambi so busy being in charge. It terrible!" Bambi complains, folding her arms across her chest.
"Anyway, me Bambi no know where they live, because him Optimus try smelt them." She growls and goes back to thinking about inflicting the mummy's curse on Optimus somehow.
"Him Mayday annoying worrywart. Probably get eaten by monster soon when him break ankle."
That is always how it happens in movies!

Grimlock nods at Bambi. "Being in charge full of responsibility. Even being in charge of just Dinobots. Got to beat other Dinobots up when they no listen to me Grimlock."
Bambi's bit of exposition makes the big 'bot's oil run cold, though. "...your Optimus try smelting your Dinobots? ME GRIMLOCK SMASH HIM!" Grimlock starts to stand!
