When it's his turn to present an award, Long Haul clambers off Omega Supreme's lap and trudges up to the stage, up the stairs, and looks out at the audience.
"Erm. Yeah. Not sure why I'm doing this. 'Cept that the category is Autobot non-medic most likely to move his berth into medical, which means that whoever it is, it's someone I'm gonna have to put up with a lot.
"What we've got here is a who's who list of which Autobots seem practically determined to make my life harder, starting with Gizmo, who ain't even been through any big battles but already seems accident prone. Then there's Holi, 'cos them jerk 'Cons all seem out to pick on the little guy. Next there's Jazz, what's got more energy then sense." Long Haul snorts. "After that, there's Nightbeat, what likes to mouth off to folks bigger than him. He's also apt to be spending time in medical bugging the other patients. After that is Slingshot. I think he's just young. Or maybe he's hanging out with First Aid. I dunno. And finally, the last nominee is Wedge, which, erm, kinda makes sense, 'cos he may not be a medic, exactly, but he's alla our bosses. So maybe he's just keeping tabs on the troops, or something."

Gizmo's defense systems almost act up again at ANOTHER nomination. But luckily his somewhat wounded pride kicks in and stops that from happening.
"Hey, I'm not accident prone..." he begins, making to stand up. Unfortunately, he didn't think to scoot his chair back from the table first, and he only ends up banging his legs painfully and upsetting the table. "Whoops."

Wedge's pride is currently warring with his humility, it's a battle that's pretty much always going on in the young mech. There's a nervous anticipation that tickles in Wedge's cab at each nomination and award that is read out. Of course, when Long Haul comes on stage and actually does read his name, the Buildbot is too stunned to actually register it for a moment.
The first feeling that wells up is amazement and joy at being nominated. A second or so later, Wedge's elated expression falls a bit as he realizes just what he has been nominated for. "Wait...what?"
Most likely to move his berth to the medical? Well, Long Haul's explanation kinda makes sense, kinda. But what's this nomination supposed to mean? Wedge is going to be pondering this for a while.

"And the winner of the Autobot Non-Medic Most Likely to Move His Berth into Medical category is... Jazz."
Long Haul makes a faint snorting noise, his shoulders jerking slightly to go along with it. "Well, I think we all saw that coming."

Well, at least it's not Gizmo. That's one award he'd rather not win.
"Go Jazz!" he whoops. Then he catches himself, remembers what award Jazz has just won, and hunkers down sheepishly. "Um... I guess..."
