Impactor walks in, because Impactor obviously has to enter the room just as a random car Autobot with an obviously fake cannon glued to his shoulder and holding a harpoon is prominent on the screen.
Impactor stops and stares at the screen. Then he looks around at the Autobots seated on the couch. Then he looks back at the movie.
Finally, he breaths out, a noise that might have counted as an exasperated sigh from someone else but from him seems more an annoyed rumble, and asks, "What the smelt are you people watching?"

They totally should. Nothing like bonding over crappy movies!
Except that Guzzle would probably love the pyrotechnics and argue with Nightbeat that it is, in fact, not crappy at all and instead a masterpiece of cinema.
When Bluestreak asks him if he knows the director he just gives the car a funny look before shaking his head. Guzzle is not from that reality! If he was, he might hang out with Nightbeat more. Okay, probably not.
Suddenly, a wild Impactor appears! Guzzle doesn't even realize until he hears the zombot speak up, and nor does he look in his reaction as he gives him a short, deadpan answer like there's nothing weird about it at all. "The Wreckers and the Seraglio of the Iron Sheikh."

Nightbeat throws an arm over the back of the couch, like you do, when he turns to look at Impactor, rolling his eyes under his visor. "Remember during the war when Reel and Callback were putting out all those horrible propaganda films?" he asks rhetorically. "Well, some numbnodes made the mistake of leaving one where a Junkion could get it. So here we are. Have a seat, misery loves company."

"It's a costume, not a new alt-mode!" Pee-Dee protests when Bluestreak starts talking about flight programming. "It's just supposed to look like a new alt-mode!"
Then someone new wanders in. Pee-Dee leans around the side of the couch to peek out. Ohai. "Going to a dead man's party?"

Bluestreak turns around; it's Impactor. He doesn't really believe the zombie stuff; after all, Impactor moves around and talks, so he's alive, right? "Hiya, Impactor! Were you the Impactor that was in this story? I mean, is the story from your universe, or someone else's? Is this movie based on anything that really happened? Pee-Dee's been showing us movies, and some of them look pretty realistic, and some are kinda weird. I know you missed the start of the movie, but here's what happened to this point..."
Bluestreak rattles off a quick summary of what's happened so far, and concludes, "...so you see, I was sort of wondering if any of this really happened, because it really makes no sense at all, but back home, some of Megatron's plans didn't make much sense either. Popcorn?" He offers the bowl of energon-popcorn to Impactor.

Impactor looks at the screen, listening to what the others have to say. He looks down at the others. He looks at the screen again.
There are a number of things he co9uld say. He could point out that if this thing is from his reality (and apparently it is), it has to have been made after his death, because he and Springer were in all of one mission together before that happened. He could point out that this means the movie couldn't possibly have happened. He could also point out that this means that those jokers continued to make these moronic fictional stories about him well after he was dead.
So much for letting the dead rest in peace. He seems to have the worst luck in that department, doesn't he?
Instead, he just shakes his head and says, "Naw." Then he turns around and starts to leave.
OOC: Not out of thread yet, but obviously heading in that direction. Also, worth noting that I'm declaring him about mid-way through his repair cycle, so at the moment he's noticeably grayed, but it's still easy to tell what his colors are, and while there are a large numbers of obviously loose panels, a few of them askew, and some seams where the armor doesn't quite meet, he's not really blatantly dropping parts yet.

Guzzle doesn't fire Impactor anymore questions. Nightbeat and especially Bluestreak already took care of that. But he does turn to face the zombie, prepping himself up on one knee so that he can look over the edge of the couch, one optic ridge raised. He can't deny being curious to whatever the answer is.
It is both what he expected and disappointing. With not even a shrug he turns back to face the screen, watching the movie and stealing a bit of popcorn. He has questions, but Bluestreak will ask those undoubtedly.

The detective just shrugs and resumes his seat, raising a hand in an idle farewell salute as Impactor turns to go. It doesn't take a master of deduction to figure out that the Wrecker (ex-Wrecker? Whatever.) doesn't feel like hanging out.
"See you around, Impactor."

Pee-Dee scoots out from in front of the couch so she's not blocking anyone's view when she stands up.
"Hey, DSC Halford, the Junkion look's not in this season on Cybertron. You need a pit stop sometime, I can give you a tune-up." She pulls out a wrench and makes a bolt-tightening gesture to illustrate what she means.
Whatever Impactor has to say to that, she's soon back in front of the teevee, gleeing over this really bad movie. "Oh, come on!"

Bluestreak shrugs. "Okay, then. Not everyone likes ener-popcorn. Or is it the movie? I can understand if it's the movie. Really, definitely, I can."
Our exciting action-thriller moves on, with Impactor heroically leading the Wreckers in their infiltration of the Iron Sheik's lair, cleverly disguised as---
"Wow, that's quite the look for Spr--whoever that is," Bluestreak observes, barely keeping a straight face. "Lip paint and a false front bumper and what did he do with his rotors again? Did he subspace them, or is that part of his..."
Unfortunately, 'Impactor' suddenly reappears in the movie and his disguise is just too much for Bluestreak and he surrenders to a prolonged giggling fit. "Next... time... try a blue ribbon!" More snickering, but then--
Suddenly, NINJAS!
"Whoa! Who the heck are all the guys in black? And why are they attacking the Iron Sheik's guards-- Ooh, that's gotta hurt!" as the Wreckers try to fight off super-secret black-ops troopers working for the Dark Emirate of Vos, the Iron Sheik's biggest rival, who is out to kidnap the Iron Sheik's new prize for himself--all without blowing their cover as mere harem-mechs. Also, it was a dark and stormy night.

Impactor grunts at Pee-Dee's offer. "I'll think about it." Really, he gets his 'tune ups' from whoever is on duty when he bothers to go. Beyond that? He doesn't much care.
Fortunately, he's completely out of the room by the time harem-disguised 'Impactor' is back on screen. Otherwise, it's not just the movie that's liable to get violent.
OOC: Out of thread. Apologies for the delay.

Guzzle's face is overtaken by a blank stare when a crossdressing Springer appears on screen. This movie is just getting weirder and weirder, isn't it? "What." Then suddenly ninjas show up and the poor Minibot tank is even more confused, his head tilting to the right, as far as it can go. "Whaaat."

Everyone knows Decepticon ninjas are magenta, not black.
"Pee-Dee, this movie is awful," Nightbeat states, looking over at the Junkion. His gaze is drawn inexorably back to the screen, though. He can't look away. "So awful."

"I know! Isn't it great?" Pee-Dee beams at Nightbeat. "I wonder if there are any others in the library? Oooh! Maybe I can get a copy of Sharktopus while I'm here on Earth!"
Nothing, and Pee-Dee means nothing, cures the blues like really stupid movies.
"Whoo! Shoot him inna face, Impactor!" The Wrecker-leader actually rips the guy's face off with the harpoon he's wielding. Pee-Dee whoops.
Then the Iron Sheikh enters, and the Wreckers have to pretend to be harem-mechs. Which gets monumentally harder when Motorhead starts trying to feel up the virile and deadly Impactor. Because ripping people's faces off is hot to Decepticons, and apparently so is being a car badly disguised as a drill tank.
OOC: I'm having fun, guys, but y'all want to fade on watching the movie this round?

"Oh man, how are they going to get out of this one?" Bluestreak wonders as the ener-popcorn disappears at a furious rate. "They've still got to find Emirate Xaaron! --WHOA!"
Things explode dramatically, and there's all kinds of mayhem flying across the screen. (No Mayhems, though). The villain's headquarters is on fire, and our heroes have to find the prisoner before the place explodes!
Bluestreak meant to ask Pee-Dee what a sharktopus was, but the movie suddenly ratcheted into action and totally distracted him. He may regret that some day....

fine with me.
