first ; video/action for New Bark ; wat do?

[getthehorns]

[ Cliff fumbles with the 'Gear a bit before it clicks on. You all get treated to a too-close close up of his frowning face ] Fragging human tech. No wonder Ratchet-- oh, there we go.

[ the camera pulls back to a more reasonable distance. Cliff is still frowning, but he looks more confused than angry ]

I got a lot of questions, because one minute there I am pounding faceplate, and the next I've got some human woman calling herself my maker and kicking me out of her house all at once. I also have this--- [ a pair of horns butt their way onto the screen as Cliff's Tauros gives him a light headbutt. Cliff shoves him away ] I was getting to you!

I have this bull thing- a Tauros, right?- and Ironhide's got an... Onix. Bigaft rock monster. What... do we do with them? What do we do in general?

[ There's a bit of a pause, and his expression softens some. ]

... Also, uh. I'm kinda wondering if any of my friends are here. Arcee, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Ratchet... Optimus. If you're out there, it's me... Cliffjumper. A familiar face would be nice about now.

Not that the old timer isn't great company, but you know.

You're huge!

Built like a truck.

[getthehorns]

Muscle car, actually.

[derppelganger.livejournal.com]

You definitely have the muscle part down!

[getthehorns]

Plus, trucks really aren't my style.

[derppelganger.livejournal.com]

Actual trucks are pretty lame! But I'm actually a motorcycle girl.

[getthehorns]

Yeah? I know one of those. [ Literally. ]

So, are you just gonna ogle, or do you have an answer to any of my questions?

[show_my_cannons]

I was on Prime's team. We were the first to hit Earth... after the All Spark.

[getthehorns]

If you were, Optimus didn't mention you, and you were long gone by the time I got there.

[show_my_cannons]

You... were never on Earth. Arcee said you had died... long before she got to us.

action!

[getthehorns]

Are we talkin' about the same Arcee, here?

action!

[show_my_cannons]

There is only one Arcee I know.

[Then he frowns.] Er. Three... technically.

Hell yeah I knew him-- I practically grew up with him. Transformers were my childhood, dude.

[getthehorns]

Your... childhood? What are you talkin' about?

[kaboomlawyered.livejournal.com]

My childhood-- my life growing up. I had like all the Transfomers robot action figures.

-- The ones my brothers didn't completely destroy, that is.

video

[getthehorns]

Action... figures.

[ he narrows his eyes, looking at Marshall suspiciously ] Who are you?

video

[kaboomlawyered.livejournal.com]

Dude, little kids played with action figures all the time, it wasn't like I was a freak or anything.

I'm Marshall. Marshall Eriksen.

[getthehorns]

Marshall. You're telling me there are action figures of Autobots.
