Roll Back the Rock to the Dawn of Time [open]
Who: Grimlock and YOU
Where: That big hole in the ground (The Crater)
When: The earth was smoking and the lava flowed (Now)
What: There's a goddamn dinosaur outside
Warnings: Snap your fingers and stomp your feet (also spoilers)
Grimlock must have had a heck of a fight because for one thing he came to groggy. That and he found himself in something that didn't look like Earth at all. At least, not the parts he's seen. He was in a hole, a pretty big hole. The dinobot pushed himself off the ground, rubbing his head. "Oh man...if what happened that I think happened...then Denny's gonna be maaaaad." Because mad is the maximum emotion for your home getting blown sky high.
So off Grimlock goes to explore what became of what he thinks is Earth...at least till he finally gets the sense to look up to the horizon. That doesn't look like Earth buildings, not unless the Decepticons had a busy night. No, that definitely was..."Cybertron? I'm on Cybertron?"
...oh he gets it now. Grimlock broke into an uproarious chuckle, "I get it! Jazz or Drift must have picked me up as a joke...or something." He didn't really think this over. "Uh hey guys? I'd like to go back to Earth now...guys?"
Obviously they were busy doing something. He'd just have to find them. Maybe Bumblebee and Strongarm were around too, having a big laugh about it. There goes that big green dinosaur Cybertronian calling out as loud as his footsteps. He has no indoor voice whatsoever.

So, Spin is out.
Aaaaand scavenging, because while Sixshot brought in most of what they needed, he really just didn't have the experience to judge what might and might not be useful the same way a Scavenger did. At some point, the heli ends up near the edge of the crater, turning up a piece of rust eat sheet metal and-
Well.
That sure looked like a green Grimlock!
... Or a green tiny Trypticon.
Sounded kind of more like Grimlock though!
But Grimlock wasn't green and neither was Trypticon...
From Grimlocks perspective, there is a bright magenta Decepticon standing on the edge of the crater with an expression of utmost confusion on his face.

And just as he's in the middle of his 35th Bumblebee, someone catches his eye. He almost lost them if it weren't for their loud magenta colors. And for some reason this little mech looks like he's seen Optimus' ghost head out and ride a little tricycle.
He waves his little dino arm, yelling. "What's your deal?!"
no subject
The heli stares wordlessly for a few seconds longer, optics narrowing in suspicion.
Then he sloooowly starts sliding out of view. How is he managing that with all the junk and stuff around? Don't ask. Better not to think too much on how Spin manages a lot of things that he does, really.
no subject
But then the mech starts sliding away and the dinobot's weirdness radar goes off. Something's odd about this guy, that's for sure.
Grimlock starts going after him, hopping from junk to junk. “Wait! C'mon, give me an answer or something!”
no subject
The problem was just that this wasn't the Grimlock he was getting used to and he didn't have a gun on him since Megatron crushed it, so everything was weird and nothing made sense.
"Whhhhhhhhyyyyyyy?" he asks, tracking Grimlock's progress from behind a pillar, looking quite displeased.
no subject
Grimlock, rather than stand around, headed out to track the mech in the direction of where he saw Spinster last.
“Cause you don't just stare at someone and run!”
He's...a sort of reasonable guy, really. “What, you some kind of scavenger or somethin'?”
no subject
"As a matter of fact, I'm doing this because my Captain said I'm not supposed to be picking fights with everyone I see. Figured they didn't much appreciate me doing that."
no subject
“Your captain sounds dumb, no offense,” but thanks for reminding him that he hadn't met his punch quota today, “What, you think I'm gonna fight you?”
no subject
For a second, Spinister was so pissed off he couldn't even formulate a reply.
Then he explodes out of his hiding place, rotor sword in hand and debris trailing after him, optics a livid red. Turns out the 'little mech' was actually about the same size as Thunderhoof. Sorry, Grimlock.
"I'm gonna flip you like a trashcan lid right into space, swear on me blueprint designer!"
no subject
Sure, he fliched when he saw the mech was bigger than he thought, but it got Grimlock's energon pumping. Finally, a chance to kick some aft.
Well you wanna go buddy? Grimlock's there and back before it's even time to fight. He leaps into the air, slamming down on the ground completely transformed.
“Then let's get to flippin', tooty fruity.”

Fortunately for Spin, his fighting skills weren't quite as mediocre as his maturity levels. This magenta terror had a surprisingly impressive war record to uphold after all!
He uses the momentum from the sword swing to spin and try to slam his heel into Grimlock's chest in a high kick.
no subject
Grimlock only has the advantage of being an implacable mountain of mech. With the build up of momentum dragging him downwards into the mech's foot, it's double the force needed to send Grimlock flopping backwards.
The dinobot gets up, grimacing, “Ok, you want the beast? You got it!” He charges in dinobot form, looking to chomp the nearest limb.
no subject
"That's for calling my Captain 'dumb'!" Spinister hisses regardless, gingerly favoring the unhurt foot as he moves to shove his rotor sword into Grimlock's toothy maw. If he succeeds, he's going to twist and redirect the momentum of the charge into rolling the Dinobot onto his dumb green back.
no subject
But the mech soon finds a mouthful of sword. And rather than getting to chomp down on Spinster, he finds himself flopped on his back. But does that take away his motivation? Nooo, he squirms on the floor, moving to swat his tail at Spinster.
no subject
The heli doesn't bother getting up. Mostly, he just starts kicking.
"Krok's patient!" Kick! "He cares about the team!" Kickkick! "And I REALLY MISS HIM!"
And just like that, he abruptly stops.
no subject
Grimlock gets hit a couple times by the flailing mess of Spinster's legs. He attempts to retaliate when the mech starts spouting a bunch of crazy bs.
“What are you talking ab--” and then he stops. Oh great.
“Come on,” he groans, “You really just givin' up like that?” also something about his captain, but more importantly why did you stop fighting.
no subject
"You're no fun to fight and I've got better things to do," Spinister says before flipping into heli mode. The sudden howl of a powerful heli engine is followed by a storm of dust in his wake as he starts floating up and away.
no subject
“No fun...hey come back and say that to my face, you big cheat!” Grimlock races after Spinster when he realizes oh yeah, helicopter. Defeated, the dinobot sinks his head and gripes, “Awww...I didn't get to fight.”
