 [Hello, Citizens of Heropa.  Hope you're enjoying yourselves on this fine day! Because Metalhawk sure isn't.  In fact, he was doing the same as you, performing everyday routine in his apartment and getting ready to go to work...and that's when it all went wrong.  The feed opens up to show...a little minor structure damage--a broken window and door at most, both of which now have a giant metal wing through them. Sitting in the center is a giant robot, at least 27 feet in height now curled into as tight of a ball as he can, to avoid further destruction. 

And boy, does he not look happy.

Looks like you finally got your third (and original) power working, Metalhawk!]

I can't say this is very ideal.

[There's an annoyed sigh, wiggling his wings slightly to try and get them out of the doorway/window.]

Would anyone be free to assist me? If I can just get outside...

[Yeah, that's not happening. You're huge, Metalhawk.

He's so sorry, roomies.]

Oh, look, you finally got it! Congratulations.

[pacifistaggressive]

It figures I would get it while indoors. Funny how that happens.

[Just kidding, it's not funny.]

ALthough you seem pretty amused.

[paintjobs]

Amused? No, I'm just pleased for you. After all, now that you've done it, it shouldn't be a problem to change back and extricate yourself.

Right?

[pacifistaggressive]

....





Did you think I was making my broadcast like this because I enjoy minor structural damage?

[KO you troll]

[Al has to check the name listed on the communicator because he didn't recognize the robot.]

Metalhawk? Oh, you did it!

[Wait Al, focus.] I can come fix it, and maybe make a bigger opening though I guess that won't really work if the inside isn't bigger too.

[He can't help but smile. Despite being in...a cramped space, he's certainly glad to have his body back.]

I did. Although I can't say I know how or what sprung the change.

[He shifts a bit.]

Actually, I may be able to use your help if you're offering. My wings seem to be stuck in the door and window...

video. -> action

[alchemicallybonded]

[Don't worry, Al gets it. He'll be smiling forever when he gets his back.]

I've heard that some people don't know how or why it happens.

[Right!]

I'll be right there. [He doesn't even ask because pretty sure he can find a house that's been damaged.

And he does a few minutes later. Al stops in front of the house and tries to peek in.] Are you injured?

[Gotta check before he might accidentally remove something that might be better off still inside Metalhawk's body.]

BUMBLEBEE!

Help me this instant!

[taselikeabee]

There's nothing I can do for you, Metalhawk. You need to change yourself back.

[runningstart]

Whoa.

Youuu uh. You're big. Is this what you're supposed to look like?

video

[pacifistaggressive]

[That gets a little smile of amusement out of him.]

Yes, more or less. I'm usually a lot less...improperly placed, though.

[runningstart]

Chyeah I'd hope so. Wow. How're you supposed to get out of there without wrecking the building?

Okay okay, where are you at? I'll try to help.

[lyingheart]

You figured out how to trigger your Cybertronian form... have you figured out what the turning point was yet?

video forever because lol typing with arms stuck in door!

[pacifistaggressive]

I'm going through my processor now...

I was angry. I remember that.

Over someone back in my world.

hahaha least helpful words that keep appearing for him SORRY METALHAWK

[lyingheart]

... How angry were you?

[heartboxer]

[ ....what. Metalhawk you never said you could do this! Armstrong starts to clap with great amusement and he'll be damned if he's not proud of Metalhawk! His feed origin is at least identifiable... ]

Ah! You never told me you could do this! What a spectacular ability! You're truly, nearly, four times my own height! How impressive!

video

[pacifistaggressive]

[Oh right! Sorry Alex he forgot to mention that little part where he's actually a giant transforming robot!

WHOOPS~ At least it makes for interesting dinner stories!]

Ah! Alex...It's true. This is actually my true form--what I look like back on my world.

Except it seems I'm in less than ideal circumstances right now.

video

[heartboxer]

[ It's okay! These things slip the mind! Did you know that Armstrong's family skills are absurd and plentiful? ]

This is your real form? How do you live on earth? Like, what type of building would have the space for you to exist comfortably in? What else do you do for furniture? [ He's very interested in this at the very least. ]

[daintylegs]

That looks very uncomfortable!

[And Tailgate has absolutely nothing interesting or useful to offer.]

I'd offer to help out, but I wouldn't be any use at all I think. Why don't you just smash the building?

[pacifistaggressive]

I...I live here!

[And a bunch of teenage girls too but that's beside the point.]

Tailgate, you can't just...smash buildings.

[daintylegs]

Why not? They're just organic buildings after all. They're not important.

But, uh, how do you know my name?

[viced]

Hey, do you still need help?

video

[pacifistaggressive]

If you can spare it, I'd love some assistance.

Seems I've...outgrown my home for the moment.

video

[viced]

Yeah, looks like. I mean, I don't know what help I can offer but...I'm pretty good with machines, I might be able to try something.
