Test Drive Meme
Did you want to test your characters? Do you want something that you can use for an RP sample without digging up an old thread? Well, here you have it. Pick one or multiple prompts below or, if you want, make a prompt of your own. Just be sure to tag around so that everyone gets plenty of exposure.
1: Explosions in space! Space Bandits attacked the space colony everyone was visiting! Dozens of fighters and mobile armors fly through space, locked in deadly combat. Are you among those battling to save lives? Or are you watching from the windows, praying everything will be safe?
2: Explosions underground! You were part of a trading party, exchanging supplies with an underground penal colony when alien animals burrowed through the walls and started assaulting convict and Confederation member alike! What are you going to do?
3: Explosions over the city! The Colosseum is shooting off fireworks as part of a concert or a sporting event! Are you watching in the crowd, a main attraction, or watching the bright colors from the city?
4: Explosions on an asteroid! You're either observing, guarding, or mining an asteroid! It's rather dull, save for the explosions that rock the ground under your feet. It looks like it'll continue to be just as slow, but... was that something moving in the shadows there?
5: Explosions on a space station! As you approached a research station, you receive a distress signal! Fire's broken out and their systems aren't up to spec! Can you do anything? Are you a part of a scouting crew or out for a joyride in your new yacht? And is this an accident, or something more sinister?
6: Explosions at the gym! Explosive competition! Swimming, weightlifting, running, boxing, someone has just challenged you! Whether they know it or not, you're going to do your best to show them up.
7: Explosions in the past! A star has died! The Fleet is flying through the nebula it left behind, with swirls of beauty as far as the eye can see. If you're the type, you can watch it all you like.
8: Explosions on the road! Most of the traffic on the Teuberg is computer controlled, but some young showoff took his off the grid and promptly caused a wreck! Traffic has been backed up for almost half an hour now, with no way out for you and the people in your vehicle. Are you close enough to see if anyone needs help? Or are you just stuck with people who are as late for their appointments as you are?
9: Explosions in the marketplace! Explosive bargains! You're in a trading hub, surrounded by stalls of all kinds selling every type of merchandise you can imagine! Luckily, you've got enough money to handle a few purchases here. Will you buy one of those daggers on display? An incense burner? Some alien fruit? Or maybe you're on the run from the corrupt guards? Or perhaps you're the one doing the chasing, did someone just steal your wallet?
10: Explosions in your mind! The explosive inspiration that drives this world! Make up your own prompt!

And this isn't a mission, it's irritating.
He looks down at the annoying driver, disdainfully. "You always this fraggin' picky?" With such a small, squishable frame, you know, you could get in some trouble. And by trouble he means robot toe jam.
no subject
It's not a mission, it's the morning commute and it is boring as frag. Or at least it was; thanks for entertainment, Loafcheeks.
But maybe she's pushed too many buttons and gotten some aggro now (it's so fun though!). She's not sure if he's trying to step on her or just making a show of it, but she can't have that, oh no. Flashpoint picks that moment to push out of alt, twisting to try and grab that ankle as it comes down.
"You usin' this?"
no subject
And if she wants to blame someone for this mess, blame whichever slaghead started this traffic snarl. Spoiler: not Deadlock.
It's a good thing he's good at thinking on his feet, er, foot, as the car suddenly bursts into another Cybertronian. Right. Right. So she's got one foot. He's got two, so he'll let her grab that one, and use his other in a kick at her stupid face.
no subject
Yeah, yeah, so she may have had something to do with it. Clearly some level of fault lies in this system the organics use; its ability to handle changes in conditions is regretably slow.
Well now. That's not what she expected, the other foot flying at her face. She ducks backward, shoving him away with her grip on the other ankle, hoping to use his momentum to knock him over and out of range.
"--the frag was that for!?"
no subject
Almost. Because he could just disagree on principle.
Especially after getting nearly dumped on his aft like that. In front of witnesses. Just what his mood needs.
"The frag was that for!"
no subject
She'll get around to it, the explaination/excuses part, but for now she's dodging limbs.
"What? Am I supposed to just take it to the face?"
You're the one taking shots here, sir. She's aware they're drawing attention but she doesn't care much. Being judged by little organics? Bah. She's more focused on him and assessing that threat.
no subject
"Only if you want to make it easy on me." He's okay with her making it tough. He can handle a lousy Autobot.
no subject
"I don't go easy on anyone, sweetcheeks. Now you wanna help me clear this stupid road hazard or are you not up to my earlier challenge?"
Have an engine rev, just for emphasis.
no subject
But...'help'? What is this strange foreign word you're using? It sounds like Primal Vernacular and all, but it makes no sense.
"Do I look like some stupid Autobot to you?" The answer better be 'no'.
All my tags are crack tags in this meme god
Oh Deadlock, how about 'help yourself to more ammo'? Ringing any bells now?
"I dunno, Prowl frowns about that much," Yeah that's your face she's referring to, the one with all the scowliness on it. "Suit yourself. Stand there and look pretty and while I do all the work. Figured you wouldn't want to get your hands dirty anyway."
Oops that's hypocrisy but whatever, maybe he won't notice? She's having too much fun taunting him for things like wisdom and moral sense to apply.
are you having fun? Then it's good RP.
Prowl. Yeah, Deadlock's kind of heard of him. Didn't fight much so that got a shrug, and that's about it.
"You think I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty?" Well, frag you, sister, he'll just show you up. He's going to grab one of the flipped-over trailers, and grunt, levering it up. What you got, then?
maybe too much fun! XD
And yeah, Prowl has other people do his dirty work all the time. She wonders if some of her own orders have come down from him. But then that's why she can't help but taunt at the subject, trying to get a measure of this other mech's tendencies.
Awww YISS. He took the bait. She's glad for that, because otherwise she'd have to explain herself or something. Like how this was actually all her fault.
"I didn't say afraid," You did that to yourself, buddy. Lazy maybe. Too entitled. Or maybe just...weak. Except his display proves that much wrong at least. Despite herself, Flashpoint is pleased. She's not backing down from that challenge though, frag no. Watch her lift up the other trailer AND set it back down on its wheels, geeennntly. Match that!
no subject
And excuse you, he did not 'take bait'. He is showing you how WRONG you are. Because you are. Wrong. So wrong. All the wrong.
And also a show off. No one likes a show off.
"Fraggin' implied it."
But, yeah, if she thinks he's going to get in a dainty-off with her, she's wrong. He just grabs the next car's bumper and drags it over, and oops, sorry protesting driver. At least he didn't flip it.
God they're like children
Oh. Well. She stands corrected then. You showed her Deadlock! (and played right into it, thanks! Less work for her to do.) Better watch yourself though; Flashpoint likes a show-off, or at least the confidence that goes with it as long as it's not slathered in smugness.
"Hey, I know manual labor is 'beneath' some mechs." Emphasis on I hope you aren't one of them.
Flashpoint's just going to cringe at the sound of metal scrapping on roadway as Deadlock moves the vehicle off the roadway. That'd can't be healthy! She's not taking that bait though, nope. She's just going start restacking the huge cargo crates back on the sled now that it's upright. "It's fine though, I don't mind doing the hard jobs."
Really, she just...can't stop taunting him. Is self-preservation a thing than can malfunction? Maybe she should get hers checked.
Children with guns.
Oh, sorry, did that hurt your sensitive audio? You poor fragile baby. Let Deadlock...make it worse, wrenching the bumper just for funsies as he drops it into position.
"Rather clean up my own messes than this stupid...organic clusterfrag."
And bad manners.
"That's what I'm doing, brighteyes," Cleaning up her mess. She just, recruited some help. Really abrasive, surly help. But kind of cute. Shhh, don't tell anyone. "Looks like I'm not the only one guilty of vehicular abuse though!"
That's her, pointedly looking at that car's poor wrenched bumper.
no subject
He snorts. "Figures you can't fraggin' drive either."
insert female driver joke here."What." He looks at her looking at him. "Was like that when I got here." Totally.
no subject
Wait. Did he just? Aw HELL NO. "Fragging show you who can drive and who can't. Not my fault these moving slabs of junk can't react or handle to save their stupid little chassis."
Look you got her spoiler all twitchy Deadlock. Enough that she totally forgets about the bumper accusation and that horrible excuse. Lucky you!
no subject
He doesn't lose a lot of sleep about that difference.
"If you caused this, think I've seen enough of how you can drive." As in 'can't.'
He likes the twitchy spoiler look on you, Flashpoint.
no subject
Is she bitter? Maybe a little. It feels like a waste, but she still hates that she could think of no other, better way.
"Yeah, well, what I get looking for some challenge on this road. Even when the traffic's moving it's more like an obstacle course than any kind real competition."
You gonna give her some Decepticon? She sees you lookin' at her spoiler. Yes you SO are. Flashpoint kind of wants to see your parts twitch, she'll find a way.
no subject
"What's the matter? Not maneuverable enough?" SNORT. Oh, yes, he went there. Because, bring it.
no subject
"Just what I said. You want me to cube it up into sugary little bite sizes that are easy to swallow?" Because he's clearly the type who likes energon confections right? "War's over. NO one won. We're lucky we're not fragging extinct."
Oops, she forgot the sugary coating. (Except not really.) Also this conversation would be 100% different if she knew who she was talking to. But you know, names, introductions, manners...whatever. Hindsight will be no less than priceless.
Oh, but now they're competing for who's got the biggest frown. Flashpoint doesn't take too kindly to that maneuverability pot shot. Sure her weight distribution might make for a little rough handling but no one beats her off the start, not with this engine. The one that's revving right now, by the way.
She let's the last cargo crate drop onto the sled with a thud, optics pinned on the other Cybertronian. "You done screwing around over there? Why don't you find out for yourself?"
And, oh. Is that the sound of security sirens in the background?
no subject
And yes, he does have an obsessive hatred of Autobots. Why do you ask?
"What the frag you mean, no one won. Someone has to fraggin' win." Allow Deadlock to educate you about how fighting works. Win. Lose. Bam.
Like this argument, right? He's winning, she's not.
"Are you challenging me? Do you know who I fraggin' am?"
Look carefully at this handsome face.
Hmm I need to make more icons, yes.
Except now she thinks someone needs to sneak into his quarters some night and paint a smiley face over that Con symbol. Just Because. It'd make her smile at least, which the current topic of conversation isn't.
"It's called we all got shafted by something even nastier! Aren't you listening? You think this is black and white, us versus them type slag!?"
Flashpoint looks him up and down, engine huffing with the memory of D-Void, something wild in her optics. Should she know him? Her memory of the enemy watch list has some holes in it. "Never been ordered to kill you, so nope. Don't know you. Why, you some pro racer or something?"
She's screwed if that's the case.
yes plz bc they're beautiful
Just a warning, should she want to try that smiley face thing: Deadlock sleeps with his guns. They're not exactly cuddly, but neither is he.
\o/!! <3
