[What Riptide says just seems to raise more questions in Bee's mind--something that he figures that his own Optimus, being the War Nerd that he was, would be able to answer. He wasn't even sure if things like this happened on his Cybertron... It seemed so peaceful mostly. Then again, there's a reason the Elite Guard is still hiring.

Bumblebee decides that sitting in the snow isn't as nice as it had been, leaning against one of Riptide's large legs instead, frowning up at him.]

I feel dumb for not knowing any of this stuff. I feel like I should know this stuff. [He pulls a face (because since when did he really care about learning), rubbing the back of his helm.] I don't even know what MTO means. Or disposables. Like... no offense but your version of Cybertron sounds awful.
