*Terrorsaur grins* Relax. Not a Maximal. See what? *he looks at Waspinator, curious*

[bw_waspy]

*Waspinator just grins and replies* Little Xeno throws blades for weapons. Waspinator thinks would be fun to see. Invited little xeno over next time is target practice.

*Waspinator looks puzzled at Metal* Of course Waspinator would want to see. Not see that kind of weapon often.

*He frowns slightly, even more puzzled by the rest* Sounded like were crowded around little xeno, though. Thrown weapons better for mid-ranged targets, much harder in melee range. Is not little xeno's fault.

*Metal seems a bit uneasy.* It's not that interesting, really.

*After a pause* Range shouldn't have mattered. I'm supposed to be able to fight no matter the situation. Not being able to do that is a weakness...

[terrorsaur]

Oh, pul-ease... Nobody can fight in every situation.

[bw_waspy]

*Waspinator nods slightly, ignoring Terry's attitude* Is true. Predacons lost Beast Wars even though Predacons supposed to be better warriors than Maximals. *He looks uneasy briefly, and sighs.*

Range does matter with weapons. Other things matter in fights too. Little xeno cannot help this. Waspinator thinks little xenos' creator was not very good at strategy or would have given little xenos more than one weapon.

Designs are different and that means are good at different things. Nobody is good at everything.

Like how Waspinator has very hard time flying in heavy winds, because wings are very light. But when aren't heavy winds, Waspinator is very good flyer.

Waspinator goes storm-flying sometimes. Plays storm-tag with Dactyl-bot, even though Waspinator very bad at it, because practice helps. But Waspinator will never be best at storm flying because just is not designed for it.

*Metal frowns and shakes his head.* Most of them weren't meant for that type of fighting either. But they managed... Why couldn't I?

[bw_waspy]

Whole point of ambush is to put other person in spot where other person cannot manage.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal sighs.* If only they used that tactic on the real enemy and not their own family... I don't even understand why Wind wanted me. There were much better targets available.

[bw_waspy]

Is stupid to attack own allies without good reason. *there's a brief amused glance at Terrorsaur when he says this*

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal frowns.* Wind never needed a good reason, because Wily didn't care. As long as Wind leaves the other Epsilons alone, Wily wouldn't care. We failed him. Only reason we were still around was because he needed someone to guard the place. We had been replaced. Others were created to try to do what we couldn't.

[bw_waspy]

Waspinator does not think that sounds right. Waspinator has watched little xenos. Are still good fighters. Should not be ignored because lose once.

*he shakes his head, puzzledly* If Predacons did that, would be none of us left very soon, because everyone have bad luck sometimes. At least, Waspinator thinks so. Waspinator can't have all the bad luck...

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal shrugs.* It's the kinds of reasons he gave us when he was recycling someone... We were expendable because he could easily make more. He used to say sometimes that we were just machines. What happens when a machine fails? It gets replaced. He was lenient in keeping us around.

[pogo_boy]

*Quint shivers* You can't 'replace' people. He's stupid for thinking of us like that.

[terrorsaur]

Gee, looks like my creator has competition in the 'sick and twisted glitch' category.

First thing you need to get used to is that most of what he told you is slag meant to make you stay where he wanted you to.

Fear goes a long way towards keeping control

*Steadfast has been listening to the conversation quietly once again, greeting Terrorsaur with a simple gesture when he entered.*

*she sighs* Right. I'm a machine too, technically speaking. Doesn't make me any less of a person; and I think I'm at least trying to not be expendable. If you'd slag every warrior who has a bad day once, you'd have no one left.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal sighs.* Not used to being thought of as a person, Quint. Always been just another Wilybot. A machine made to destroy his enemies. Couldn't even manage to do that.

*looking puzzled* Wily never needed a way to keep us in our place. We had no other place to go if we could leave. The humans would have us destroyed.

[terrorsaur]

*sarcastically* 'There's nothing for you out there. Stay where you're safe.'

I've heard that one before.

Besides, there are a lot of places for you to go, now. And not all of them have humans.

[pogo_boy]

We're people too, oniisan. Some humans, like Wily, are just too stupid or crazy to see that. Or scared. If they admitted it, they'd have to admit the laws about Robot Masters are wrong. Any of them, not just what they think about Wilybots. They'd rather think of us as property, because then it doesn't matter what they do to us.

And there are other places to go, now. Lots of places.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal looks confused at Terrorsaur's response.* We killed humans. If we left, we would have been destroyed as a danger to the human race. He was right in that sense...

*He shakes his head.* Why would it matter? Wily made us. Doesn't that mean he has a right to destroy us? Whether or not we are people....

[lavender-wings.livejournal.com]

*shakes her head* If you are a person, you should aspire to more than living as a slave, or giving up and being destroyed. Anything is better than that.

Just because someone made you, doesn't mean they own you forever.

Isn't it so? *looks at the Predacons*

[bw_waspy]

*Waspy nods* Waspinator agrees. Waspinator would not be here if Waspinator did not. Waspinator may not remember who Waspinator was made by, but would not agree to way Maximals treated Predacons.

[terrorsaur]

*irritably* Unfortunately, I can remember my creator. And good riddance to the slagging bastard. He didn't want to get that particular point.

[sharpenedblades.livejournal.com]

*Metal gets a bit uncomfortable at the thought, but tries to hide that.* Well, I guess I'm going to have to try getting used to the idea... It couldn't be worse than what I've been doing...

[pogo_boy]

*Quint smiles slightly* It gets easier, oniisan. It took me a while to get used to the idea too.

[morethanafan.livejournal.com]

*Air seems understanding.* This is normal. Trust me. You'll be fine, Metal. It gets easier over time. Quick and Crash were a little like this at first too...
