Cannonball would scowl, then shoot a glare off in Hook's general direction.
//Well, be pardonin' me, sir...// he replies, dripping in sarcasm. //'Ow 'bout ah be throwin' ye in them intakes so ye can show me whar tae shoot, since ye be claimin' tae be the expert on such things?//

//Yes, I am the expert around here on heavy-duty mining equipment. Unless your career of piracy wound up with you serving hard time on a penal mining colony,// Hook sneers.

// We will not be throwing our most skilled technician and engineer into the intakes, Cannonball, // comes the laconic voice of Dead End. // There is an alternative. //
There's a edge to his voice that suggests that Cannonball may wind up being that alternative.

Cannonball is silent for a few moments, his glare going toward Dead End, and he starts to speak before a brilliant idea comes to him.

// I was thinking of myself, actually. My forcefields might hold up to the abrasion while I shoot it from inside. More likely they'll overload or short out and I'll be pointlessly crushed into little strips of metal, // Dead End replies.
Hook's order cuts across their commentary: //Dead End, do a radar pulse again.//
// Pulse... NOW! // comes Dead End's acknowledgment.

//Am I the only one who sees a problem with throwing anyone into that freakly wiggling thing? Grinding up two mechs means we can't do anything with either one.//

Starscream could have pointed out that there's plenty that could be done with a ground-up mech, but he didn't. Must be feeling charitable.
//Nobody's getting thrown in.. yet. You're ninety astroseconds away from re-inforcements. Can you hold it off until then, Hook?//

//Starscream, I could hold it off until the Builders return to celebrate the Constructicons' skill. It's not as if this is a particularly effective killing machine. It's just mining equipment.//

// Alas, the Builders did not return to celebrate the Constructicon's skill. They in fact tried to deactivate all of us. Something about this notion that we were their property gone rogue or something... //

// That, of course, assumes that both you and I survive to anything like a convenient moment, which is doubtful. It also depends on your definition of convenient moment. I like my memory banks exactly as they are, if you don't mind. If you do mind, it might become very inconvenient. //

//Everyone comes under my knives sooner or later.// The threat is warm and smug; a reminder, rather than anything active.

//Stop squabbling like petty little children or I'll feed you both to this machine myself!//
Yes. Starscream just told others to stop intra-factional infighting.
