Tape? [Bee frowns at the joystick before giving a small whirring noise as he comes up with an idea.] Oh! I know!
[he transforms one of his hands into a stinger and carefully places the joystick back up. He then attempts to weld the two pieces together, but since his weapon is giving out electricity instead of being a welding tool, he ends up just overloading the entire gaming system. It sparks angrily and then pops as it overloads, producing a plume of smoke from the back as it goes dark.
Bumblebee stares at the machine and glances at Liquid.]
[Before he gets a chance to brainstorm on video game repair, the robot seems to have a plan ready. One that might hold a bit of water if it actually did what it was supposed to do. Liquid's not sure what the tool does normally, but it is definitely doing the opposite of fixing.
Liquid probably won't be playing this particular beat 'em up anytime soon.
He has to stifle a laugh.]
...Do you really want to stick around and find out?
[Bumblebee doesn't look like he knows what to do, abruptly folding in on himself and transforming into his alt-mode, a yellow car, in the middle of the arcade. And once you've gotten over that display, the car turns and talks to Liquid.]
Hey, I'm just a car! It totally wasn't me who broke the game. How could I?
[Liquid might not have actually bore witness to any of these robots transforming so, inwardly, he's a little surprised. He's doing a good job at not letting that show, though. It's not like it's news to him that weird things happen.
Except now he's talking to a car.]
You haven't got any arms! That clearly looks like the sort of thing you need arms to break.

[THROWS YOU UNDER THE BRIDGE, LIQUID.]

[And here he'd been trying to be helpful! Serves him right.]
But perhaps some careless person who decided to park their car inside of an arcade is truly the one who broke it!
no subject
It definitely wasn't the car's fault.
no subject
Oh, of course. It's never the talking car's fault.
no subject
Nope! Never! It's never the get-away-vehicle .
no subject
And it's never the person left behind who might decide to say something along the lines of "follow that car!"
