[At a prehistoric field, a t-rex and a giant scorpion and they transform to reveal themselves as Megatron and Scorponok as they walk up a tied up panda claiming it's a Maximal.]
Megatron: Excellent. So, you're not going to talk? Then, how about a dip in my lava jacuzzi? [motions to the river of lava nearby]
Scorponok: [perplexed] Ahem! Uh, Megatron... Are you sure this is a Maximal in disguise and just not a plain old panda?
Megatron: Of course, Scorponok. Look at his smug face.
[The panda makes cute noises as it blinks]
Scorponok: I'm just asking because these little guys are endangered, and well pretty adorbs...
Megatron: [conflicted] Yes... I'm... [lets the panda go] I'm not a monster! I wouldn't murder a real panda! [to the panda] You're loving this aren't you? [much to his chagrin, the panda laughs at him] Eat hot lava, Maximal! [goes to try an kill it but gets stopped by his subordinate]
Scorponok: No, sir, he's so helpless and so cute! [sees the panda sneeze and melts from the cuteness] Aw, he's such a little baby!
Megatron: [also melts seeing the panda tumble over in a cute way] My god, did you see that?! Wow. I was really ready to do it! [feeling guilty and cries] I mean, who am I anymore?!
Scorponok: [pats his superior's back] It's the war; we've been out here too long, Megatron.
Megatron: [composes himself] Yes. I may have PTSD, but that is a fucking Maximal! [he and his minion chase after the second panda thinking it's a Maximal]
[After the coast is clear, the panda transforms revealing itself as a Maximal, Polar Claw]
Polar Claw: [scared out of his wits] Holy shit, that was close! Hoo! Shit, that's the deepest character work I've ever done! [quickly runs past Megatron and Scorponok as they fry an actual panda instead of him not noticing the real Maximal running behind them] Oh, my god. I almost fucking died!
