Riptide, I have to ask this as a commander to an overly large Shipformer myself.

Are they all stupid? Or is it just the two I've met? Because I can't possibly see what you can get out of a relationship with Optimus!? You don't have the processor to understand how to deal with a mech like him. Maybe you just like standing next to and being a servant for someone smarter than you. Like my Tidal Wave is.

[ He'll wear this one down till he gives up this stupid friendship with Optimus. This is a rare opportunity for the Antlered Megatron. He can't waste it like he has for too long.]
