| - Spike had pretty much given his notice and intention - he was going to set out on his own. But still be very much part of the Autobots. But now, as a bit of a farewell tour, he's been doing patrols with some of the Autobots for the last time. In one instance, he was with Hound, Warpath, and Grimlock - intercepting Thundercracker, Skywarp and Frenzy . About two hours later... Spike looks at Warpath and shakes his head. "No! It's cool! You don't need to..." Warpath continues "Then he is like BANG...through the uprights, Kicked Frenzy's head clean off!" Sparkplug heys. "What did he say?"

| - Spike had pretty much given his notice and intention - he was going to set out on his own. But still be very much part of the Autobots. But now, as a bit of a farewell tour, he's been doing patrols with some of the Autobots for the last time. In one instance, he was with Hound, Warpath, and Grimlock - intercepting Thundercracker, Skywarp and Frenzy . Out of the corner of his eye, he spots Grimlock eyeing Frenzy with the ferociousness of a bear going after a wounded carrion. Spike grins mischievously, gesturing Frenzy. "Heyah!" He clinches his fist. "Seriously... wanna go? Want to finally put that mouth to good use?" Before Frenzy can strike Spike, Grimlock blindsides Frenzy, tearing into the hapless Decepticon with his major jaws. The impact is so violent that it nearly takes Frenzy's head off. After Grimlock is done, all Frenzy can do is look from where he's lying...totally immobilized. A few threads remain, attaching his neck to his head. Spike looks at Frenzy and silently points to a nearby concrete wall. Then he points to Frenzy's head. In a cocky Babe-Ruth-type gesture, Spike runs and *kicks* Frenzy's head clean off it's casing, it bounces off the wall...and into a dumpster. Delighting a few of the Autobots who are now cleaning up the mayhem the 'cons caused. About two hours later... Spike grins, walking back to the Ark - as Autobot City is just being constructed. Warpath looks at Sparkplug. "Sparkplug...HYEAH - you shoulda seen your son...he was like... taking that pipsqueak loudmouth Frenzy and...ZOING!" Spike looks at Warpath and shakes his head. "No! It's cool! You don't need to..." Warpath continues "Then he is like BANG...through the uprights, Kicked Frenzy's head clean off!" Spike looks at Sparkplug and feels like he could crawl under the med bay table right now. Spike mutters "Didn't...have...to tell...everyone..." Spike looks over at Beachcomber and the peace-loving Autobot smiles sadly at Spike and shakes his head, and leaves. Making Spike regret that moment of cockiness even more. Sparkplug's look of disapproval could melt lead. "Spike! You should know better than that! Is that how I raised you?" A few Autobots leave, much to Spike's dismay, leaving Spike and Sparkplug. Spike looks truly regretful - Sparkplug has one of those looks where it's almost like you'd rather get hit than face his dad's disappointment. "I'm sorry... I knew...the MOMENT I kicked his head..." Sparkplug frowns. "Really, Spike? After watching the Decepticons abuse their power so much, the first time you get some of your own, you abuse it in exactly the same way?" Spike pinches the bridge of his nose. "...such an idiot..." Sparkplug shakes his head. "You just have to hope he doesn't take that personally, because if he decided to respond in kind, your head just doesn't re-attach! Unbelievable!" Spike nods, fully serious. "I know...I know..." Spike looks at his dad with sincere regret. "I'm sorry...I just... stupid. Was so sick of him constantly bullying other humans for the sake of bullying them." Sparkplug frowns. "Well, now you've given them a reason to do more than bully -- not that they needed one in the first place." Spike looks on, feeling even more awful than he already feels. He manages to spot Beachcomber. He looks at his father and gestures..."Can you hold on...just...a min..." He chases after Beachcomber. "Heyah...wait...please!" Sparkplug sighs, but lets Spike try to go catch up with Beachcomber, having a feeling Spike's not on BC's favorite-people list right now. About an hour later, Spike comes back. Still feeling like crud. He looks at Sparkplug. "Heyah..." Sparkplug heys. "What did he say?" Spike looks at Sparkplug and says in full sincerity "He knows his Gandhi..." Spike looks at Sparkplug. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry I acted like the ones we're fighting against, I'm sorry I acted like a tool... and I'm sorry I acted like a total idiot." Sparkplug shrugs. "Well, we all have our moments." Spike breathes out his nose. Spike frowns. "I know I can't...but I just wish I could take it back...what I did. I know these guys look to us to see how humans react and behave... and how lucky we are to even BE here..." Sparkplug sighs, his anger evaporating. "I'm sure the Autobots know that not everyone is perfect all the time. Just next time... show a little more sense, OK?" Spike nods enthusiastically "Yessir..." Spike adds "I need to apologize to Optimus Prime." Spike looks at his father and grins faintly "Frenzy's probably not going to get an apology, but if it makes him feel better, I feel bad." Sparkplug laughs. "Somehow I don't think it will, but between you and me, he can go hang." Spike grins, getting slightly hungry. "Still pissed?" Sparkplug grins. "Nah. Let's go get something to eat."
