[video][an open invitation to pain]

[shoulderpads]

Autobots - you will begin a mandatory training routine starting tomorrow at 0600 hours. We will be gone for approximately three hours or more. Plan accordingly, and bring fluids to keep hydrated.

[The message comes with a handy reference document he found in the Library. Looks like someone's been doing their research on human health.]

[And yes. He's starting this on a Monday.]

Any Chosen who wish to accompany them are welcome to do so, but I expect you to be timely.

[A pair of coordinates are attached to his message, leading to the hilly area just outside Terminal. Don't worry, they'll get to the staggeringly painful mountains after some practice.]

[UUUUHHHHHHHHHHH this is awkward. Considering what happened since they last saw each other and the embarrassment she felt, the last thing she wants to do is question Ultra freakin' Magnus.

But come on.]

With all due respect, sir, I've been handling our training for awhile now, and my schedule and exercises were working just fine.

[neverputincharge]

[0600 hours?! You trying to kill them Magnus?]

With respect, sir. We've been training with Arcee already. [And they've been doing fine, really they have.]

We've also got work to do here.

[Sounds good and he does command the Wreckers and all...so he should probably do this.

But first:]

What is 0600.

[fuckinstoplights]

Auto... bots?

Heh, I've been out of the game for a while. This sounds like just what I need to get back into shape. Count me in!

[rustypistons]

...Ultra Magnus, sir, does that include all Autobots...? [He's hoping for a no. Reeeeeaaaally pushing for that no he knows isn't going to come.]

[calibrates_big_guns]

[On one hand, he's liking getting to sleep in for once. On the other hand, new body he's still not entirely used to, and he hasn't exactly been keeping up with an exercise regimen.]

Why not. I'm in.

[He has a feeling he may end up regretting this, but what else is new?]

[Video clicks on because oh it's that serious looking person that's been around the apartment. Fuko's busied herself with carving in the background, so Penguinmon takes the initiate.]

Isn't that just a little excessive?

[notmyprophecy]

[A young woman with cat-ears. ...Does Ultra Magnus know what cats are? Anyway, he'll know what scars are, of course, because this person has three across her right eye to her cheek bone and a torn right ear.

She appears...intrigued, actually.]

What kind of training routine? Is it in the city, or the wilderness?

[heartdive]

Training for what?

[shinebrighter]

[Someone which actually probably won't die, yessss.
The warrior merely gives a small nod.]

I, and Lufein wish to join you.
Thank you for the invitation.

[acceptedburden]

It is often more entertaining to train in groups as opposed to working solo all the time. If there is still room, I would not mind shifting my schedule a bit to train with you and the other Autobots.

[Loud groan from off screen.]

Uggggh do we have to?

[Video]

[heyloser]

[Misfire manages to listen to the whole broadcast and keep quiet... up until he opens the document and pieces together what Ultra Magnus has planned for those poor Autobots. Then, he just laughs for a good, long minute.]

...Ahhhhhhhh oh, you're joking. You're sooo joking. That's a good one, really.

[If Misfire didn't know this was Ultra Magnus, he'd know better. Really. But for now, he's thanking his lucky stars that he's not an Autobot, even if that means a bit of social stigma.]
