They never suspect the innocent ones.
I may be small and talk in silly rhymes, but that's just to put them off guard. They shrug me off and treat me like a child.
Just like the others before them.
Miscalculated last time, though. Should never have given the pilot time to set the auto-destruct. Sloppy, that. It's what got me stuck on that Primus-forsaken planet with only the stray Sharkticon or Quint to keep me busy.
I can tell you right now, neither is any challenge to kill. Sharkticons are too stupid and Quints are next to defenseless without their guards. Give me a good Sirian or Paluvian anyday. At least they put up a reasonable fight.
My size is misleading. I've always been short. I don't consider it a disadvantage, though. They underestimate me, make mistakes... create openings.
Heh.
Now I'm with my "fellow" Autobots. They took me in, rescued me from Quintessa, assuming I'd been abandoned and needed help.
Yeah, I needed help alright. I was about to die of boredom.
They never suspected they were letting a killer into their midst.
