Blurr turns a flatly unamused look on Brainstorm but, through an effort of unfathomably epic proportions, he holds his tongue. He wasn't as close to his Brainstorm as Rodimus or Kup, but he still considers the engineer a friend and he doesn't care much for ill words spoken of his friends.
"Yes," he answers Slingshot so he doesn't have to pay much attention to the video. It still makes him queasy and he looks visibly relieved when it's off again. "Yes Arcana was Brainstorm's partner! But they weren't partners like Haywire and I are partners. They were a Headmaster team."

It's probably going to say something that the term 'headmaster' elicits a worse reaction from Brainstorm than Unicron. He's mostly heard rumors and hearsay about what happened to one of Prime's detachment on Earth regarding that mess, but it was enough that he doesn't want any part of it, and visibly flinches away from Blurr and Slingshot.
"I'm sorry, I think you just suggested I willingly lopped my head off and replaced it with an organic. Surely I misheard that."

Mostly it says Brainstorm knows what a 'headmaster' is. Also, man, Slingshot is not getting involved in this. No, wait, never mind, he is totally getting involved.
"Maybe your head wasn't willingly lopped off," he suggests with a cocky grin.

Blurr is pretty much all on board for poking this… kind of really obnoxious version of Brainstorm, and he flashes a split-second, mischievous smile Slingshot's way. He's usually a little better-behaved than Hot Rod, so it can be easy for the universe to forget that Blurr is one of those turbo-revving young punks Kup always grumbles about, too.
"It was all pretty messy," he says, and he isn't even really lying. The early days on Nebulos were rather chaotic.

"Well. It's less the willing lopping off and more the willingly replacing it with an organic. It's like empurata, but worse somehow," Brainstorm answers with an I've-got-the-heebie-jeebies shudder.

Slingshot should probably escort Brainstorm to Kup's office, but this is way more interesting. "Wait, let me get this straight - you're more bothered by sharing with a humanoid than you are by getting your head cut off?" A beat. "What's empurata?"

Blurr is so not on board for human-phobia. Not iin the least bit. And this Brainstorm is going to have a really miserable time of things if he goes into this thinking he's fine making faces and sneering over their human companions. He pulls a face at Brainstorm and rolls his eyes, leaning one elbow on the console and propping the other hand on his hip.
"You'd better get used to organics–" Such a clinical word. He doesn't think he likes it, and he looks like it tastes foul just saying it. "–Running around because we have a bunch of organics on the ship and on this ship they're our friends and one of them is my friend." Blurr's expression turns very serious; he wasn't there in person when the Nebulans sat down with Hunter, but he doesn't have to be where Haywire is to know what's going on. Frankly, he doesn't want Hunter or Sunstreaker to have to deal with Brainstorm if Brainstorm's going to be like this.
OOC: Just kind of assuming that since the *master partner hangout thread is still in the Earth timeline, this takes place after. Can correct if I'm wrong.

"You don't know empurata?" Slingshot gets an odd look. That, and he seems pretty okay with organics replacing body parts. Blurr, however, gets a groan and a sigh, with hands planted on his hips. "I'm not going to go mad on sight of them, if that's what you're thinking. I just don't care for the whole bodily replacement thing."

Of course he's okay with organics. Up until a little while ago, Slingshot was a human himself. Or wasn't at all, actually. LOOK IT'S COMPLICATED OKAY?
Slingshot glares at Brainstorm. Hello, least favorite habit from going to school with white kids. "Wouldn't've asked if I knew what it was, genius."

"And I'm just warning you, you'd better mind what you say," Blurr says equitably. As if that settles the matter, he then changes topics and watches Brainstorm expectantly for an explanation of empurata.
