Rodimus was really not in a position to be casting aspersions on other people's stages of development. Fortunately for him, Val couldn't read minds and didn't have a machine to do it on her right this second.

"One, yes, it's a thing. Two, I'm an outlier." Someone should probably explain to her that the word with a legitimate technical meaning up until it was co-opted that Cybertronians used for their particular hated-and-feared minority was 'outlier' and not 'mutant,' before she managed to hopelessly confuse them by continuing to use it in its mathematical definition.

It was probably too late for Rodimus, though.
