Grimlock falls quiet now, not quite sure how to respond. Granted, it is a compliment. Grimlock likes compliments! However, Grimlock is used to being complemented on his strength and courage and general awesomeness.
Lacking anything to say at the moment, Grimlock just rumbles slightly. Bemused Dinobot is bemused!

Perceptor turns back to his work to hide his small smile; anger averted and even turned to bemusement! Score one for the nerd! After a while, he turns back with one of Grimlock's larger armor pieces in hand.
"I am ready to begin replacing these pieces before I remove the rest of your armor," he explains. "Once those have been adjusted and replaces as well, I will need to make some adjustements to your core systems, and then your new repair networks should be online."
ooc: timeskip through the rest of the work? Is there anything else Grimlock would like to do, say, accomplish in this thread?

Grimlock nods, falling quiet for the rest of the procedure, making small talk whenever it comes up.
---------- OOC: Timeskip away!

Piece after piece of armor are carefully modified and touched up, repairing tiny stress fractures, nicks, and damages before each is replaced with the same meticulous care Perceptor would give the most delicate of his own circuits. The last retaining clips are carefully installed, pins tapped gently into place, snaps fastened.
"Now, you must promise me, Grimlock," Perceptor intones as he tightens the last piece into place, "that you will endeavor not to test your new modifications immediately? Now, lie back, if you please. I need to make the final adjustments to your core diagnostics and repair systems to bring the modifications online."

"...fine, me Grimlock promise," he finally answers, laying back as asked. "Me wait until we actually attacked."
No sense in going to beat up Slag - that'd just defeat the purpose of the mods, as that'd wind up sending Slag in instead.

This is the sound of a scientist faceplaming in his head. It's somewhat exasperated, and a little dry.
"Let us hope," Perceptor observes as he begins tapping into Grimlocks primary self repair systems, "that there are no attacks at all today, shall we? Nor are you allowed to goad Slag into a disagreement which he will then escalate into such a fight."
Connecting in the new mods to the system doesn't take long at all, and by the time Perceptor has finished his drily hopeful observations, he is stepping back to allow Grimlock to rise once again.

See this?
This is Grimlock pouting.
One, that he can't trick Slag into a fight.
Two, that Perceptor expected this.
Once the scientist is done, he rises up, flexing his arms, wrists, and fingers a bit. "Feel okay so far. Not really different, but me not going to be able to tell when me not hurt." He then looks at Perceptor, rising off of the berth, standing up and very slightly looming. "...me not force test on it, though."

Loom all you want, Grimlock; Perceptor is too trusting of his fellow Autobots to be intimidated. Not to mention that he is too trusting specifically of Grimlock himself to let the larger mech's posture bother him. He's adopted a rather... paternal attitude toward the Dinobots since Wheeljack and Ratchet's loss, after all.
"I very much appreciate that, Grimlock," he replies, patting the Dinobot commander on the arm. "If you do notice any systems alterations or you have any questions, then please, do not hesitate to ask, all right?"
ooc: good to wrap up soon?

Grimlock looms rather passively, most of the time. Grass grows, birds fly, a cocky kid from Boston hurts people, and Grimlock looms over things. So for once, he's not trying to be intimidating.
He nods at Perceptor, and looks a little proud of himself. "Me Grimlock think this come in handy!" Upon announcing that, he makes his way out. He appreciates it, and hopefully the scientist's dealings with the Dinobots allows him to recognize that.

Fortunately, Perceptor does, indeed, recognize Grimlock's gratitude, and he smiles as the Dinobot lumbers his normal way out the door. "So do I, Grimlock," he muses to himself. "So do I."
ooc: end of thread.
