[It's a very rare thing when Arcee gets so enthusiastic that she just needs to talk to everyone ever. The camera feed might be a little off what with how big she is compared to the D-Terminal and how awkward it is to hold it, but it's fairly easy to make out that this is in fact a giant robot. The way she sits against the apartment building so casually gives a pretty good scale of measurement.]

Please tell me I'm not the only one excited about all of this.

[Her blue eyes seem to glow brighter than they ever have before.]

I mean, it's about time this scrap pit got something right. Someone? Anyone? I'm surprised there isn't a parade.

A-Arcee, maybe you should give that to me! You know, before you crush it by accident or something!

[Solus is apparently panicking off screen. She never really thought about it much, but things are a lot harder when your partner is so large!]

...Well that's the strangest way anyone's ever complimented me. Ever. I'm gonna guess it's something you don't do often.

Well, the robots I'm usually around aren't so as sentient... Or large. So no, I don't go around complimenting robots that much.

I meant in general, smart guy. Don't worry, pretty sure I got my answer anyway.

[As she continues to avoid the questions.]

In general, I'm a pretty popular guy actually. So there you go for your daily dose of assumption, I guess.

But really, what are you made of? Are you working of a singular OS or are you just one fully integrated program with independent learning matrixes?

[The man looks very curious and eager, he's pretty unapologetic about it too.]

[Unfortunately, he's going to be left very disappointed.]

Wow, I am not about to go over my biology with someone I don't even know. Kinda poking my personal bubble there.

[RUDE.]

It's not like I go up to some human and go "Hey, tell me about all those...cells you're made up of."

Fine. Tony Stark, I build robots with learning interfaces and intelligences. I'm kind of one of the golden boys of my world, and the one of the smartest, if not the smartest 'human' of my generation. I'm 48 and enjoy scotch and soldering.

Now you know me.

Also, if you want I could probably tell you about how cells work.

[If he sounds a little huffy, it's because he is. He's not used to being told no when it comes to robots.]

[Well, the 'no's will only keep coming because as soon as Tony mentions building robots, all the red flags start springing up. After MECH and their attempts to take Cybertronian tech, the last thing she's going to do is hand it out like candy.]

Oh no. No no no no no. We're done here.

[Now Tony's just confused.]

What? Why? This is not usually how these conversations go.

First time for everything.

[Sorry Tony, but after being strapped to the ground and having people saw parts off of her, it's just not something she's willing to share.]

And everything's negotiable.

[But he doesn't even have a good screwdriver, let alone a saw, he just wants to draw schematics of her like one of those French buildings.]

You really think I'm gonna crack. Not gonna lie, I'm almost impressed. Talk about persistent.

But here's the thing, Sparky, I don't exactly have a reason to tell you scrap.

Well, no. No you don't.

How about a trade? Or a deal?

Oh this I gotta hear. Okay hotshot, wow me.

I could build you upgrades.

The components aren't the easiest to come by right now, but believe me. I've built 45 autonomously run flying defensive suits for myself. I can upgrade most things given to me.
