can't get him out of my head

[programmable]

I haven't the time to be flattered, and I haven't the naivete to be grateful. You muns don't do anything for free, and what you do do would make Unicron blush.

This piteous selection of icons is encouraging, though. You don't seem all that dedicated. I suppose I can expect to get back to the work that really matters within a couple of megacycles.

...what is a "meme"?

You know what Spider-bot? My mun keeps mentioning 'meems' too!

But as long as I get to kick some keisters on them, I don' really care what they are!

[programmable]

Quickstrike. What a ...surprise.

In that case, you're welcome to go first.

[heytheresugarbot]

It's almost like you ain't happy to see me, Eight-legs.

And I ain't afraid of no 'meem'! You you watch, I'll kick that 'meem' where it hurts and make it beg for mercy!

[programmable]

Ehhh. Well, now. I wouldn't say that...

I can't see how that plan could possibly go wrong! You have my complete and unconditional approval. Just let me know when you get started, in case you ...need cover fire.

[heytheresugarbot]

Really? That's mighty nice of you!

And ta think that everyone else is always sayin' what a no-good, dirty, rotten, low-life traitor you are!

[I mean, you are, but he means that in the nicest of ways, really.]

[viced]

I wouldn't be so sure with the icon thing, they start out with just a few, but it doesn't stop there, and neither does their attention.

[programmable]

Should I take that as a warning, or a threat?

And I've never met a primitive who could talk that eloquently.

[viced]

More of a warning, but take it how you want. Oh, and watch who you're calling primitive, or I'll start showing you what my powers of negotiation sound like.

[programmable]

Negotiate? With you?

[CUE LAUGH]

Someone thinks highly of himself.

[viced]

I have some pretty nice tricks up my sleeve, buddy. Generally, I have a reason for thinking that highly about myself.

[batmanta]

Well, color me surprised.

Spider.

[programmable]

[UNSURE] What are you doing here?

[batmanta]

Kicks and giggles, clearly. Last I heard, you were blown up real well and we got ourselves a Tigerhawk.

[programmable]

Rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated.

A shame I have no means of escaping this place. I could do well, on a new, reborn Cybertron. That is where you are, correct?

[yeeeeees]

A meme, spider, is nothing more than a method for humans to keep themselves amused -- at, I must add, our expense.

[programmable]

[!!] Mighty Megatron! This is, an, an unexpected privilege. If I'd known you'd be here, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to leave.

There must be some way to turn these memes to our advantage.

[yeeeeees]

I assure you, there is. Yes. For these humans have one fatal flaw that they simply cannot resist.

[programmable]

They do? And what might that flaw be? [he is incredibly enthusiastic about this, Megatron]

[herodecoded]

Your presumptuousness is only matched by your insanity...

[programmable]

Everyone keeps insisting that! I can't imagine why, heheheh.

We have more in common than you'd like to think, saurian.

[herodecoded]

The only commonality we share is your spark on my sword.

[programmable]

Charming as ever. I always wondered why Megatron never prioritized junking you. I think he was fond.

But we are both independent agents, are we not?

[ravage]

Ah, Agent Tarantulas, it is good to see you again.

[programmable]

I had no idea this venture would summon so many familiar faces. [pleasantly] I hope I find you well, Agent Ravage.

[ravage]

Your concern is appreciated but unneeded. My only regret is being confined to places such as this.

Perhaps you will fair a more appropriate fate.
