Roll Back the Rock to the Dawn of Time [open]

[imatruck]

Who: Grimlock and YOU
Where: That big hole in the ground (The Crater)
When: The earth was smoking and the lava flowed (Now)
What: There's a goddamn dinosaur outside
Warnings: Snap your fingers and stomp your feet (also spoilers)


Grimlock must have had a heck of a fight because for one thing he came to groggy. That and he found himself in something that didn't look like Earth at all. At least, not the parts he's seen. He was in a hole, a pretty big hole. The dinobot pushed himself off the ground, rubbing his head. "Oh man...if what happened that I think happened...then Denny's gonna be maaaaad." Because mad is the maximum emotion for your home getting blown sky high.

So off Grimlock goes to explore what became of what he thinks is Earth...at least till he finally gets the sense to look up to the horizon. That doesn't look like Earth buildings, not unless the Decepticons had a busy night. No, that definitely was..."Cybertron? I'm on Cybertron?"

...oh he gets it now. Grimlock broke into an uproarious chuckle, "I get it! Jazz or Drift must have picked me up as a joke...or something." He didn't really think this over. "Uh hey guys? I'd like to go back to Earth now...guys?"

Obviously they were busy doing something. He'd just have to find them. Maybe Bumblebee and Strongarm were around too, having a big laugh about it. There goes that big green dinosaur Cybertronian calling out as loud as his footsteps. He has no indoor voice whatsoever.

This whole place is stupid. Everyone here -- except that Pipes guy -- is stupid. Even Earth was better than this. At least on Earth, no one was telling him Cybertron was a wreck or that he needed to kill someone.

So it was back to the stupid crater to kick rocks around and maybe stumble into a way back.

Except then the ground shakes, and someone's voice is yelling. His head practically jerks up, whipping toward the sound, eagerly.

"Grimlock?"

It's actually quite hard not noticing someone like Grimlock stomping through the area and calling out names. Naturally, he's more drawn to the idea of a tyrannosaurus charging through the area. Please don't step on his flowers him, big T-Rex.

With this now underfoot, Koh cautiously approaches the dinobot. "Are you looking for someone?"

After being cooped up with Tarn for weeks trying to get basic survival stuff up and running, Spinister's cabin fever finally get the best of him. That and finding out the person you live with in close quarters lied to you about everything was kind of sucky and didn't really forge a high tolerance for their presence.

So, Spin is out.

Aaaaand scavenging, because while Sixshot brought in most of what they needed, he really just didn't have the experience to judge what might and might not be useful the same way a Scavenger did. At some point, the heli ends up near the edge of the crater, turning up a piece of rust eat sheet metal and-

Well.

That sure looked like a green Grimlock!

... Or a green tiny Trypticon.

Sounded kind of more like Grimlock though!

But Grimlock wasn't green and neither was Trypticon...

From Grimlocks perspective, there is a bright magenta Decepticon standing on the edge of the crater with an expression of utmost confusion on his face.
