Enter obnoxious minibot, stage left. Pipes has decided to say 'hi' to everyone that won't rip his face off because of all the alternate universes. He has to meet everyone, it's important. So, of course, when he sees the new bright red guy, he has to pop over. Not like he has a busy schedule, anyway. Scavenging here, there, maybe swinging by the medibay. Lots of free time.

He calls over to Sideswipe, from across the road. "Hi! Are you looking for something?" Bright as ever, completely unfazed by everything that's upsetting Sideswipe.
