"Because they're guys? I had no idea men were so similar across the universe!" Mikaela met Sam's glare and mutter calmly. "Shut up, Sam, you know I'm right." Bee snickered a little. "You know, Mikaela, it might not be the best idea to insult someone who's about three times your height, metal, and has a built-in cannon." Mikaela rolled her eyes and shoved his neck. "Yeah, yeah, like you'd even think about it for one second." Bee snorted and looked at Sam. The teenager shrugged, responding, "Girls, huh?"

Showtime put one hand on her hip and smirked a bit. "It's really not wise to frag off femmes...and it's definately not wise to frag off a femme who can snipe your aft from fifty plus paces...and increasing distance." She moved to calmly sit down nearby, in a spot that she could easily watch the others.

Mikaela snickered and prodded Bee lightly. "Put me down, would you? Then you two can go back to...whatever it is you guys do." Bumblebee snorted and Sam made a face at her, but the mech still gently lifted her down to the grass. Mikaela went over to stand by Showtime and paused to make a face back at Sam.

Prime chuckled. Understood, Skyfire. A few keystrokes at his console gave him the locations of each of the Autobots. Area should be clear. Everyone is inside or well away from the base. Might as well go greet him. The Peterbilt turned and went to the entrance, it was nice to get some fresh air without being in the process of scrambling for a crisis.

Showtime watched the goings on with an amused expression. Really, this was much better than being cooped up in the base, and a lot more interesting than trying to figure out how to make her simple ammunition more efficient. Besides, Sam, Mikaela, and Bumblebee seemed to be enjoying themselves, which was a good thing.
An idea came to the sniper, and a look of concentration crossed her faceplates briefly. "I wonder..."

Mikaela looked up at Showtime, craning her neck somewhat. "What?"

Showtime smiled a little, a slightly mischevious glint in her optics. "I wonder...Bumblebee mentioned his cannon....but I'm curious as to whether he's just trying to compensate for something..." She raised an optic ridge in a teasing manner.

Bumblebee's doorwings flicked higher, moving to point further behind him. Mikaela snickered at the obviously insulted mech. "Maybe, and then there's the missile launchers...think that might be a part of it too?"

Showtime smiled sweetly at Bumblebee, before considering Mikaela's question. "Hmmm...it might...Then again, I'm not really sure...I mean...Compared to my weapon, Bumblebee has a more complex system..."

Bumblebee rolled his optics, grumbling something, before returning to his conversation with Sam. Mikaela smirked a little at the guys. "Hm. Maybe. You know,"she added, an positively evil grin spreading, "Human guys with fancy and expensive cars usually want to compensate for something too...and Sam still likes to tell people his car's a 2008 Camaro..."

Showtime raised an optic ridge at Bumblebee's grumbling. "What was that, Bumblebee? I didn't quite catch that..." She grinned a bit, halfway tempted to pull her bow out of her subspace. She blinked in confusion and glanced at Mikaela. "I did not know that...what is the signifigance of a vehicle being a 2008?"

"The year it came out - technically, Bee was still a concept when he switched from the piece of crap he was first. I still wonder why one was in that tunnel, but hey, it was cool."Mikaela smirked at Sam, who was practically crimson and glaring at her. One of Bumblebee's doorwings twitched a little. "Nothing."

Showtime's grin became more mischevious. "Really now? That's interesting...just how much of a," Here, Showtime googled "piece of crap", raising an optic ridge, "piece of crap....was Bumblebee's alt before?"

"It was a beat-up '76 Camaro...which is probably one of the tackiest cars ever." Bumblebee glared over at Mikaela. "I'm a scout, and I was supposed to not draw attention to myself." Miakela shrugged. "Yeah, but there are plenty of average cars out there without you resorting to a scraped, scratched, ...what was it Sam said he called it, custom 'faded'? old Camaro." She grinned.

As he made his decent Skyfire made sure to check that there was enough room for him to land. Fortunately enough there was and it was with no small sense of relief he finally landed. Space travel was all well and good but it got lonely after a while. As he finished transformed into robot mod he saw Optimus Prime approach and waved.

Showtime was silent while she googled pictures of a" beat-up '76 Camaro". Her search results caused her to snort as she tried not to laugh outright.

Mikaela grinned at Bumblebee. "See? I'm right! Showtime agrees with me!" Bumblebee pulled a face at her. "So? Someone agreeing doesn't mean you're right!" "So why did you feel the need to go scan a brand-new car when I called you on being a 'piece of crap Camaro'?"

Showtime's snickering grew worse. "And here I thought Sunstreaker was the vain 'Bot!"

"Hey! I'm nowhere near as bad as Sunstreaker!"Bumblebee protested. Mikaela looked confused. "Uh, who? I haven't met him."

"Ah....well..." Showtime tipped her head back, thinking. "Sunstreaker...is a very...intense...if that's the right word for it...Mech. He's a frontline warrior along with his twin brother, Sideswipe. From what I've experienced, they're not too bad...but apparently, they've got a bit of a reputation..." She shrugged a bit.
