Is smiling all this cybe ever does? It's entirely unsettling, most mechs either quake in fear or rise up and challenge him when Deadlock gets aggressive. This experience is utterly alien and disconcerting to him. But then, so is meeting someone with his same name. Despite the unsettling circumstances, he doesn't escalate, and his optics flick suspiciously over the white mech instead.

"Why not?" he asks, as if it's down right foolish not to mean him harm. Most do, and not all of them Autobots. Is it too late to change his name? He's pretty sure he doesn't want to share one with this weirdo.
