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.

Oh, yep, that sure was something giving out in his foot. Probably shouldn't have kicked the dino former there; it was like kicking down a wall of lead bricks.

"That's for calling my Captain 'dumb'!" Spinister hisses regardless, gingerly favoring the unhurt foot as he moves to shove his rotor sword into Grimlock's toothy maw. If he succeeds, he's going to twist and redirect the momentum of the charge into rolling the Dinobot onto his dumb green back.

“Maybe you shouldn't be so sensitive!” he scoffs as the dinobot seeks to chomp down on the mech.

But the mech soon finds a mouthful of sword. And rather than getting to chomp down on Spinster, he finds himself flopped on his back. But does that take away his motivation? Nooo, he squirms on the floor, moving to swat his tail at Spinster.

"You don't even know him- woah!" Spinister lands on his skid plate with a resounding THUMP when Grimlock's tail smacks against the back of his knees.

The heli doesn't bother getting up. Mostly, he just starts kicking.

"Krok's patient!" Kick! "He cares about the team!" Kickkick! "And I REALLY MISS HIM!"

And just like that, he abruptly stops.

“Yeah, I don't need to know who's aft I'm whoopin!”

Grimlock gets hit a couple times by the flailing mess of Spinster's legs. He attempts to retaliate when the mech starts spouting a bunch of crazy bs.

“What are you talking ab--” and then he stops. Oh great.

“Come on,” he groans, “You really just givin' up like that?” also something about his captain, but more importantly why did you stop fighting.

Grimlocks whining drags Spinister free from the sudden overwhelming moment of homesickness. He stares at the mech like he's never seen the guy before and then very calmly stands up, snapping his rotor sword to his back.

"You're no fun to fight and I've got better things to do," Spinister says before flipping into heli mode. The sudden howl of a powerful heli engine is followed by a storm of dust in his wake as he starts floating up and away.

Ok what's with this guy. First thing he stalks, then he fights him just because of some ribbing, and now he looks like he caught amnesia. But the one thing that makes him mad is the 'no fun to fight' comment.

“No fun...hey come back and say that to my face, you big cheat!” Grimlock races after Spinster when he realizes oh yeah, helicopter. Defeated, the dinobot sinks his head and gripes, “Awww...I didn't get to fight.”
