[Somewhere in Goldenrod, there is a massive black robot. He's about 25' tall, well over four tons, and armed to the teeth.]

[He also looks excessively proud of himself as he kicks snow out of his path. This is the image the 'gear shows over the network.]

About time I was returned to my frame. Cold is hardly a problem now.

[For emphasis, he

[ c: DOOPA DOOPA DOOP. Henry is herping along the street in search of some potions. He has no fucking clue he's not in Ecruteak and he CERTAINLY has no clue what is about to happen to him.]

[action]

[show_my_cannons]

[Oh.]

[Oh he knows that human.]

[As quietly as possible, Ironhide transforms. Afterward, the big black truck not-so-stealthily starts driving along behind Henry.]

[c: DO DE DOO DOO...doo....dee....doo. 8( Okay slow moving cars are kinda creepy. Especially with all the Rocket wtf-ery that's been going on and the fact that there aren't many cars around in Johto. He moves a little further onto the sidewalk.]

[The truck just keeps following. It's driving right up against the sidewalk.]

[Well, let's just say that Heather's sufficiently recovered from her scare with the corpse in the backroom... maybe her manager was in fact able to get rid of the body, and maybe gave her the day off to recover from the trauma or something.]

[Either way, she's plodding along through the snow in her coat and Appropriately Silly Winter Hat (tm), when she spots a familiar gargantuan metal construction looming over the bare treetops.]

[... And holding a giant handful of snow.]

[... WELL THEN.]

[Heather is fully aware that what she's about to do is pretty stupid and may in fact result in severe injury, but she wouldn't be Heather if she let things like that stop her from doing them.]

[There's a characteristic PIFF and patter of snow as a MUCH-SMALLER snowball comes sailing up from the ground a short distance away and strikes Ironhide's arm.]

[He's a pretty big target.]

[She just couldn't resist.]

[Action]

[show_my_cannons]

[When he feels that PIFF, his head actually snaps around, with something like murder in his expression... before it registers that the projectile was only snow, and the point of origin was a familiar human figure.]

[Well then.]

[The massive snowball in his hand is, almost carelessly, lobbed in Heather's direction.]

[Action]

[foolishwren]

[... You totally knew this was going to happen, Heather. There's no excuse whatsoever for the overexaggerated OH CRAP face you make when he throws that giant wad of snow.]

[Needless to say she performs a rather impressive awkward noodly run through the snow to dodge the huge snowball-- but it's a little too slow so in the end the only way to avoid it is sort of to just THROW HERSELF FORWARDS out of its way.]

[Which results in a total faceplant into the snow. WOMP.]

[humans are such dignified and majestic creatures aren't they]

[Action]

[show_my_cannons]

[How come all the Silent Hill protags have noodly runs...]

[And while she's faceplanted in the snow, he limps over to where the sad pile of teenage girl is sprawled out. He nudges her with one huge toe.]

You still functioning?

[Holy shit whatever that is, it's big. And heavily armed. Why no, Ziva doesn't know what a Transformer is.

Her hand goes to her side, where her gun is holstered, but she doesn't remove it yet. She's learned to ask questions before she starts shooting.]

[action]

[show_my_cannons]

[The big head snaps around, focusing on her intently with one good optic.]

[He grunts.]

I would not do that. Your weapon is not effective against my armor, and the ricochet could damage civilians.

[Her hand moves away, but slowly--she doesn't like being told what to do, even if it does sound like a good idea.]

Who are you?

[Yeah not going to say 'what', that's rude, and it's a good idea not to be rude to things about five times your size.]

[action]

[show_my_cannons]

[He turns to face her, drawing himself up with a grunt.]

Ironhide.

Who are you?
