Three mindless drones. Shouldn't be a problem.
Only three things wrong with that little theory. One: we're not drones. Two: we're not mindless. And three: problem's my middle name!
S1 E3Fires of the Past
This is Captain Jetstorm speaking. Please feel free to move about the tarmac, and flee for your miserable little life!
They blew us out of the sky?
Yes, stranding all six of us.
Why, those lousy... six? Get real, Webs! If there were six of us, then why don't we remember the other two?
Your situation exactly matches your location: TERMINAL!
Now just stick to beast mode and those Vehicon goons will never find us!... Unless they happen to be standing right here in front of us.
How is this possible? My battle drones are models of technological perfection. They possess superior firepower and maneuverability, and yet they are continually defeated by a small pack of lowly beasts. Why?
DDDiagnostics Drone
Free will?
Hmm, interesting notion.
S1 E4Mercenary Pursuits
I gave you each a spark. I granted you independent thought, individual identities. I asked only one thing in return: the complete and utter destruction of four puny Maximals. WHY HAS THIS NOT HAPPENED?!
Okay, Magnificence, check this out. I have the whole zoo on the ropes, and I'm bobbing, weaving and flying circles round them like nobody's business. [points at Tankor and Thrust] Then these two LUGNUTS have to come along and mess up my timing!
[blasts Jetstorm with an electrifying cannon] An interesting tale. Now here are some meaningful words. I am your creator. Please me and I shall reward you. Disappoint me... [blasts all three generals] and you shall suffer. A difficult choice?
Use me for target practice? THAT'S IT! I Am Trans...
Negative. These storage bins may contain explosives.
[Scoffs] Aren't you being just a little overcautious?
[Tankor blows up a storage bin, triggering the explosion of other storage bins in the vicinity]
Next question?
Transform back before Tankor locks in on you.
But... but... I am transformed!
Now, if there are no further interruptions.
I'm afraid there will be.
Tankor! Tankor!
I'm sorry, Tankor is not available at the present time. Would you like to leave a message?
S1 E5Forbidden Fruit
How do you expect to master your new body if you keep turning your back on the Matrix, the source of our very sparks.
I hate to disappoint you, Big Bot, but, [grunts] in the heat of the battle, I have to follow my instincts, not blind faith.
But that's impossible. How can it live down here?
Eh, even with wings, a rat's a rat. And we're survivors.
Well, well, well. Looks like what we have here is an unlawful assembly. I'm afraid I'm going to have to take you boys downtown-in pieces!
That's it! I'm through working with a bunch of empty-headed tin-plated- [gets interrupted by Maximals] Ganging up on me? Let's see how tough you are when I bring a whole battalion back!
